And The Winner Is... No not you!

Ha Ha Ha! I've don't mind Katy Perry. In fact I'm a bit of a fan, but dear Katy was the subject of a big blunder at France's main music award ceremony, the NRJ awards. Perry cheerfully picked up the trophy for best international song which was actually intended for Rihanna.

Host Nikos Aliagas was the culprit behind the mistake and later admitted to being one heck of a dozy blighter. It was still a night to remember for the pop sensation though, as she rightfully took the prize for best international album.

"We are terribly sorry, but we made a mistake. It wasn’t Katy Perry who was supposed to pick up the Best International Song, but Rihanna with Disturbia,” the host said. “We hope Rihanna and Katy Perry won’t be too upset and we apologize for all the fans who voted for them. The wrong name was put in the envelope. We’re really terribly sorry. Katy Perry will have to give her (award) to Rihanna.”

Oh well, don't feel too sorry. She is earning millions.

Rock My Baby

Ok now I have heard everything. Guns N Roses seem to always be in the news for some odd reason or another but I would never expect the rock legends to be a popular substitution for a bedtime lullaby. A recent surveyor, who had a lot of time on their hands, found out that modern mums are more likely to sing material from bands like Oasis and Guns N Roses rather than traditional lullabies to get their young offspring to drop off.

A website dedicated to babies polled 2000 mothers and found some absolutely crazy results. Songs like Take That’s “Patience” and Robbie Williams’ “Angels” are among the most popular choices which is weird but I suppose they are suitable. However, the top 20 from the survey included tracks like “I kissed a girl” by Katy Perry and “Dance Wiv Me” by Dizzee Rascal which don’t seem the most appropriate for our little ones. I don’t know what the world is coming to.

The top 20 are shown below:

1. Take That - Patience
2. Robbie Williams - Angels
3. Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl
4. James Blunt - You’re Beautiful
5. Elvis Presley - Love Me Tender
6. Christina Aguilera - Beautiful
7. Duffy - Warwick Avenue
8. Guns N’ Roses - Sweet Child O’ Mine
9. Oasis - Wonderwall
10. The Sugababes - Girls
11. That That - Back For Good
12. Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You
13. Bryan Adams - (Everything I Do) I Do it for You
14. Adele - Chasing Pavements
15. Girls Aloud - I’ll Stand By You
16. Dizzee Rascal - Dance Wiv Me
17. Sinead O’Connor - Nothing Compares 2 U
18. Westlife - Flying Without Wings
19. Corinne Bailey Rae - Put Your Records On
20. The Spice Girls - Mama
