Kylie Minogue, Mika, Celine Dion: NRJs Were Supe-R-Gay!
Not only did the NRJs (the French Grammies, kind of) award gay icon Kylie Minogue their "NRJ Award of Honor" - Mika presented it to her! I'm not implying anything, but I'm almost overloaded. ... and guess which CD won "Best International Album of the Year." ... Britney's Blackout. Seriously! I love it!
The award show - in Cannes, France - had some standout performances as well: Kylie rocked "In My Arms;" Mika performed "Relax;" Rihanna did "Don't Stop the Music;" and Celine sang "Taking Chances." Gay, gay and more gay!
So you've got to watch Kylie perform "In My Arms" in her futuristic, collared mini-dress; but almost more importantly, watch Mika give her the award at the end of the clip. It's in French ... "Kee-lee Minooogue!"
I don't speak French very well anymore, but if you're curious, I'm pretty sure Mika just asks Kylie if she can understand him, to which she replies, 'almost everything;' he then lists her achievements in music for the past 20 years, praising her record sales and her ability to reinvent herself. But how funny is Kylie? She's more excited to meet Mika than he is to meet her; she totally wants him to be her BF!
And this one is Mika performing "Relax;" his booty-shaking is pretty damn awkward, but I still like him. That song must not be easy to sing, either; he's so talented!
And here's Rihanna performing "Don't Stop the Music" - my favorite Good Girl Gone Bad track. Rihanna's new hair looks totally hot, but no comment on her outfit. OK, a little one: It manages to be both heinous and boring. What happened?
And finally: the wonders of Celine. ... But, is she lip-synching? It can't be...
she's totally lip-synching. she can't sing that key live!
