A look back at this weekend's NRJ Music awards in Cannes, one of the country's biggest commercial music events.
Francophone breakthrough act of the year: Keen'V
Female Francophone artist of the year: Shy'M
Male Francophone artist of the year: M Pokora
Francophone Group/duo of the year: Simple Plan feat. Marie-Mai
Francophone song of the year A Nos Actes Manqués by M Pokora
The international awards were won buy Adele (International breakthrough and song of the year for Someone Like You) and LMFAO (International group or duo and video of the year for Party Rock Anthem)
Rhianna won International female artist and Enrique Iglesias took the International male artist title.
There was also an award of honour for Shakira, presented by Johnny Hallyday, a diamond award for Mylene Farmer presented by Jean-Paul Gaultier, an award for Nolwenn Leroy for her album Bretonne, the best seller of 2011, as well as an award of honour for Justin Beiber.
The awards were televised on TF1 and can be watched on catchup (in France only by the looks of things) here > http://www.tf1.fr/nrj-music-awards/
The show featured performances by many of the acts who were shortlisted as well as others including Coldplay, Mylene Farmer and Johnny Hallyday. There was also a tribute to Michel Berger on the 20th anniversary of his death.
I thought the Mylene Farmer performance merited a mention on account of it being the number one in France this week, just days after the physical release of the CD, further adding to her record number of number one singles.
Update: The video was taken off YouTube by request of TF1. Fair enough, it's their work.
I linked to the YouTube version as the TF1 video didn't seem to play in the UK, so I thought it was geoblocked to France only. I'm pleased to see that all the performances can be watched internationally.
Videos of Mylene Farmer's performances can be watched on the NRJ music awards site
