11/16/06 - Kanye Named World's Best Hip Hop Artist At WMA's (Full List of Winners)

that-damn-good · 11-16-2006, 05:16 PM

The World Music Awards took place in London for the first time last night (Nov. 15).

The evening, which paid special tribute to Michael Jackson, was billed as a come back event for the world's biggest pop star, but the evening turned out to be a case of more hype than action.

Hundreds of fans waited for hours outside Earls Court arena in West London to get a glimpse of the 'King of Pop.'

Fans were left disappointed after Jackson failed to greet them when he arrived at the venue, resulting in angry jeers from the crowd.

The show was opened by Beyonce Knowles, who performed a mix of her hit singles "Ring the Alarm"and "Deja Vu," which was arguably the best performance of the night.

During the night, Beyonce also won the award for Best International Female, which was presented to her by Fashion Icon and fragrance partner, Tommy Hilfiger.

Other winners included Kanye West, who was named World's Best Hip-Hop Artist, besting the likes of TI, Busta Rhymes and Chamillionaire, who was incorrectly announced as "Shamillionaire."

The World's Best Pop Artist was given to Madonna and the World's Best Pop/Rock Artist went to Nelly Furtado.

Organizers had announced that Michael Jackson would perform his hit single "Thriller," but Jackson claimed this was a "misunderstanding."

Instead, Chris Brown performed the legendary 1983 hit as a tribute instead.

Jackson was recognized for selling over 100 million albums worldwide with a Diamond Award, which was presented to him by Beyonce.

"He's made such a big impact on my life and on every performer's life," Beyonce said. "Michael Jackson, we love you. Congratulations to the King".

During an emotional speech, Jackson thanked his friends, family and fans.

"I'm greatly humbled by this award. It was my dream that Thriller would become the biggest selling album ever," Jackson said. "I thank God and you for it's success. There have been so many who have loved and stood by me for the 25 years I have been in the entertainment industry. I'd like to thank my children particularly Paris, Prince and Blanket for their unconditional love."

Finally, a teenage choir appeared singing the 1985 mega-hit, "We Are The World."

It was supposed to be a step towards Jackson's come back, but the performance fell flat.

Jackson only managed to sing a few lines of the song and during the fleeting performance, his voice appeared to crack and falter on the high notes.

The performance finished midway, when the musical accompaniment suddenly disappeared.

Organizers of the annual World Music Awards have also been criticized for a chaotic and dis organized evening.

Below is the 2006 World Music Awards winners:

World's Best Pop Artist - Madonna
World's Best Pop/Rock Artist - Nelly Furtado
World's Best Rock Group - Nickelback

who gives a fuck if he doesnt do gangsta rap. it shows how narrow minded you are. gangsta rap is only a small side to hiphop. yall gunit groupies are stupid and ignorant.

He's ten times more creative and innovative than 50 as a rapper. now i dont really respect Kanye as a producer. b/c he takes everything from the black old school. James brown, curtis mayfield, ray charles, and the list goes on and on. alot of you black kids are too young to know or yalls parents didnt play oldies while yall were growing up

I give Neptunes credit cause they are 100 percent original even though their beats have gotten really bad now. compared to a year or so ago
