Like last year, a monumental mistake has plunged embarrassed the organizers of the evening the NRJ Awards, held Saturday in Paris.
The singer Ke$ha, which is a hit everywhere at the moment, and Kamel Ouali, a French choreographer, were both on the stage to announce the winner in the category of best international group. Upon opening the envelope, they announced that Black Eyed Peas won the title of the class, while the price was finally delivered to the German band Tokio Hotel.
Last year, the NRJ Awards had experienced a similar situation when Katy Perry was coming to seek the award for best international song, while the real winner in this category was Rihanna.
Yesterday evening, the two presenters, Ke $ ha Ouali, did not see anyone pick the price they had just announced. This has created confusion in the room and even a few boos when Black Eyed Peas has been named winner instead of Tokio Hotel obviously the favorite band to win.
Moments later, Wali came back to the microphone to apologize and explained that the opening of the envelope, all names were there and he had just read the bad.
