Pop Group The Black Eyed Pea's accidentally honored with the wrong award.
During the NJR awards on Saturday everything went cool for the Pop group The Black Eyed Pea's, They opened the award show performing their No. 1 anthem, "I Gotta Feeling" & their exciting high energy performance set the tone for the night.
Although the song steadily repeats "tonight's gonna be a good night", the night for the group actually became embarrassing when presenters Ke$ha and French choreographer Kamel Ouali mistakenly announced them as the winners for best international group which was actually suppose to be handed to The German rock band Tokio Hotel.
Luckily The Black Eyes Pea's didn't expand the embarrassment by accepting the award on stage. The presenters apologized for the Mix up and blamed NJR, who actually made the same mistake last year when they awarded Katy Perry the best international song that was meant for Rihanna.
The Apology
After the Mix-up they actually won win the best international song award for "I Gotta Feeling", So they didn't leave empty handed.
SMH... Congrats to them though.
