Katy Perry gets Rihanna’s award
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 19 January 2009
More awards being presented alongside MIDEM now, and this year’s NRJ Awards, France’s big music awards bash.
The big story this year was that Katy Perry was announced winner of Best International Song for ‘I Kissed A Girl’, but, according to reports, there was a mistake in the vote count and the actual winner was Rihanna. Must have been gutting for Perry.
Real winners at the event included The Jonas Brothers, Coldplay and Britney Spears. Oh, and Perry, for International Album Of The Year, so that’s nice. It would have all been a lot worse if she’d gone home empty handed, eh?
