Jermaine and La Toya Jackson led the tributes to their brother Michael at the MOBO Awards 2009.
Older sister La Toya introduced the acts performing in memory of the King of Pop who died in June.
They also accepted the MOBO lifetime achievement award on his behalf.
She said: “My little brother was the biggest star the music world has ever seen. He was the biggest artist of all time. Transcending all barriers, may they be social, racial or generational, he inspired, shocked and amazed with equal measures and he continued to dare all of us to build and build a bigger dream.
“There will never ever be another person like him ever.
“He lived on through his video, he lived on through his movies, but above all, and most importantly, he will live on through his music.
“So please, please if you will, take the time to join me and everyone else for this legendary pop idol of the world, the king of pop, Michael Jackson.”
Former Britain’s Got Talent contestant Shaheen Jafargholi led the tribute followed by dance troupe Diversity.
Jermaine Jackson then sang a rendition of Smile in honour of this brother.
At the end of the song he said: “I love you Michael.”
La Toya added: “It’s so funny because Michael always said smile no matter what, no matter how much pain you’re in, smile. Jermaine did it.”

Apart from talking about her ex Joe Jonas at the 2008 CMA Awards held at the Sommet Center last week in Nashville, Taylor Swift was also nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year. However, the award went to Carrie Underwood. Maybe next time Taylor. You are just 18 after all. She’s got lots of time. She still can’t get off the ex situation though. When she sat down with Mario Lopez for Extra, she said that it was a personal goal to write songs about her exes saying “It’s sort of a personal goal for me to make songs so personal and so obvious, that if all my ex-boyfriends were to sit down and listen to my album, they would figure out which song is about them.” I wonder if Joe knows which song is his.
Beyonce broke it down on stage at the 2008 World Music Awards which were held last week in Monte Carlo, Monaco. Other performers at the ceremony which was hosted by actor Jesse Metcalfe and singer Michelle Williams included the very diva who is losing every right to be every minute Mariah Carey, Alicia Keys and Kid Rock. The awards will be shown on December 2 on MyNetwork TV. If you’ve read about the diva demands that Mariah had just to show up, know that Beyonce didn’t even come up to a fraction of her demands. I may not be such a big fan of Beyonce’s music but I have to love her for not having the diva attitude.
Just days after her mother Lynn Spears’ tell-all book about the Barbie doll of pop music, Britney Spears was caught on tape while stealing the famous “Moonman” statuettes (Just concentrate on the look on her face in the photo).
Britney is back and back with a BANG!
Dressed in an immaculate silver frock, strappy heels and a beautiful smile, she looted the event by grabbing the first three moonman statuettes of her career.
After a disastrous performance at the last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, she proved that she is the darling of pop music.
Britney Spears started the MTV VMA 2008 by saying, “Thank you so much. Thank you for all the love. I’m here tonight to celebrate a very important birthday, the 25th anniversary of the VMAs. This is the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards and it starts right now.”
The stunning pop singer won the awards for video of the year, best pop video and best female video, all for the tune “Piece of Me”.
The debate is whether she is here to stay or it was just another spike in her cherished career, but whatever it was Britney truly swept the event.
BRITNEY ROCKS!!!
Shakira does not require any introduction as she is a global megastar of heroic proportions but at the night of 2008 American Latino Media Arts Awards, she was heard celebrating her Latina heritage.
The show was hosted by Eva Longoria, the famous “Desperate Housewives” girl.
Shakira was not there just as a guest but she also received the Humanitarian Award for her charity work.
She was looking fabulous in her wardrobe with a magnificent sleeveless black belted dress, with studded platform high-heels.
The 2008 ALMA Awards were held to honor the achievements of the Latin Americans in the media.
Eva Longoria changed eleven dresses with matching hair styles during the Awards.
The President of the MTV Networks Music Awards, Van Toffler has expressed that there is likelihood that the pop-star Britney Spears will open the show again at 2008 MTV VMAs despite her catastrophic performance last year.
He said that Britney deserves a second and a third chance. He further added, “I’m not sure how we top Britney opening the show but we are looking on it every minute of every day”.
Britney’s chances to perform at the VMAs were given a boost when the title track of her most recent album “Piece of Me” has been nominated for the Video of the Year Award.
At the same time, the sources close to the superstar have revealed that she is also very nervous to perform on the occasion but is looking forward to perform in front of her fans again and prove herself.
As if she hasn’t had enough fashion issues lately….girl should’ve never cut her hair, I guess.
Rihanna showed up at the BET Awards dressed in some mess of a Big Bird costume (God rest his soul!).
Seems like she can’t get anything right these days. First nipple rings, now this….Rihanna, honey, take my advice. Hire a stylist other than yo cuzin Shaniqua.
Pop beauty Rihanna managed to dodge getting gunged at the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards by carrying an umbrella-ella-ella to present the award for Favourite TV Show.
And Jessica Alba left the stage unscathed after picking up the Favourite Movie Actress gong.
Indiana Jones actor Harrison Ford wasn’t so lucky though – although he wasn’t too bothered about being slimed.
But Lord Of The Rings star Orlando Bloom didn’t look quite so happy to get a green splattering
The gunging was directed by awards’ host Jack Black, who was dressed as a superhero. And the Hollywood funnyman didn’t mind when he was given a slimy soaking himself.
Also at the US event actor Ashton Kutcher went weak at the knees, literally, and fell off stage as he gave actress Cameron Diaz the Wannabe award.
In my opinion, it’s about time that Madonna was inducted into the Rock ‘n’ Roll Hall of Fame. The 2008 induction ceremony was held at New York City’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel on Monday and this is what she had to say: “I’ve always been fortunate to have people around me who believed in me. Life, like art, is a collaboration. I did not get here on my own. And why would I want to? [Even the people who] said I was talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn’t sing, that I was a one-hit wonder, they helped me, too. They inspired me because they made me question myself repeatedly and pushed me to be better.” Aww, thanking the little people.
Amy Winehouse’s turbulent marriage is looking shakier than ever as she gears up for her big Brits performance tonight.
The singer missed a crucial awards show rehearsal on Monday after learning that her jailbird hubby Blake Fielder-Civil was trading her signed pictures for hits of heroin. Distraught Amy thought he was swapping the snaps for cigarettes from other lags in London’s Pentonville Prison.
Her friends believe his sordid deals have pushed her “closer than ever” to ditching the junkie loser. A Brits source revealed: “Amy was supposed to rehearse on Monday, but didn’t show up after she discovered Blake had been trading pictures of her for drugs. It’s a real shame she wasn’t there for the rehearsal. Everyone got really worried. It’s sad Blake has sent her into turmoil again just before her big night. She’s been working so hard to get her head together for this.”
So is divorce on the horizon?
Even though she didn’t make it to sing live on stage, Amy rocked the Grammys with her performance via satellite from London. But that wasn’t nearly her biggest accomplishment for the night.
Amy racked up an amazing five Grammy awards before the show was over. Her awards included record of the year, song of the year, and best new artist.
After sending a shout out to her “Blake incarcerated”, she spoke to the group gathered with her in London. “It’s a shame I couldn’t be there to accept the awards, but I’m so proud and happy that I had the opportunity to perform for the Grammsy in my hometown of London with my family and friends around me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
Ivy Queen is a Latin Grammy-nominated singer who is also known as the Queen of Reggaeton. And apparently, she’s also well known for going to nail salons.
She’s sure to be the envy of Staten Island secretaries with her new nails as the 35-year old Puerto Rican singer showed up to a Latin Grammy event in Las Vegas, Nevada on Tuesday sporting a flamboyant manicure that is a cross between bling and Freddy Kreuger. It’s a nightmare I tell you!
Honestly, I don’t know what her music sounds like but hopefully, there are no nails-to-a-chalkboard comparisons. Here’s to hoping that it sounds better.
The Country Music Association’s awards ceremony took place earlier this week. And apart from looking good throughout the whole night as well as bringing the house down with her performance of her hit single ‘So Small’, Carrie Underwood also took home several awards.
The American Idol alum picked up her first single of the year award for the song ‘Before He Cheats’. She also took home the female vocalist of the year award for the second year in a row.
She’s definitely on a roll. She garnered the top spot on the albums’ chart when her CD debuted and now she’s won two CMA awards. Congratulations Carrie!
Is Britney Spears getting ready to shock the world again? Is she going to appear on yet another awards show just a week after her 2007 MTV VMAs more famously known as the Sunday night massacre?
According to UsMagazine.com, she could be. They are reporting that FOX is in talks with the pop star’s peeps to book her for the Emmy’s. Thankfully, she won’t be performing but rather having her come on and apologize for the VMAs. A show source says that she’s weighing the offer.
Why would she need to apologize for her VMAs performance? We’re in major need of therapy for that traumatic experience but she’s the one without a career.
Amy Winehouse’s husband Blake Fielder-Civil has hit out at judges of the Mercury Music Prize, insisting the singer was “robbed” of the $40,000 award. They most probably did not want to reward this druggie. Good for them. “She is really well and doesn’t need to go back to rehab”…sure, it would be great if all drug users can get the monkey off their backs so fast. It was not but 2 or 3 weeks ago that she landed in a fight with her husband with him ending up with scratches all over his face and neck when he caught her about to do drugs with a prostitute in their bathroom. Fielder-Civil says, “Amy was robbed. Who knows why they didn’t give her the award. But I was so proud of her for her performance. She’s really well and she doesn’t need to go back into rehab.” He is no better than a piece of sh*t himself and he needs to go to the rehab and this time alone not in the company of Amy.
Britney Spears spent her weekend in Las Vegas, where she has been rehearsing her performance for the MTV VMA’s on September 9th. According to sources, Britney spent all day Friday rehearsing and then that night she went and partied with P. Diddy at Pure nightclub. Hey, now that’s what I like, you work and like Britney rehearsed all day and then when work is done for the day you party hard as well to enjoy and celebrate the day’s work. That’s the culture I have been brought up on and that’s the way I think it should be. No work just partying all the time and killing life without doing anything meaningful and substantial is worthless fun. I’m really looking forward to the MTV VMA’s tomorrow. While I don’t really ever watch MTV and I dislike the majority of the type of people who will be there, I really want to see Britney’s performance.
