Well, sorry to say Vanessa didn't win the award for Album of the year or song of the year (can you believe Britney Spears won for best International Album???)
Vanessa did walk the red carpet and looked happy and BEAUTIFUL as always. Alas, she was alone. (Someone else must have kiddie duty)

Here's a few pix from the Award show. My friend in France is supposed to be recording it for me.
She also sent me two T-shirts from Vanessa's tour and some more magazines... I am thrilled to death!!

I'm so very disappointed that Vanessa was passed over
for this most creative and pleasing work.

Brittney Spears?!! :fryipan:

Vanessa is so talented and pretty...and
just plain nice...

thanks Wenchie, for the update.

Paradis caught lip-syncing
By WENN world entertainment news

Johnny Depp's singer girlfriend Vanessa Paradis has sparked controversy in her native France after she was caught miming her performance at the NRJ Music Awards.

The star was nominated for Best French Female Artist and Best French Song for her 2007 hit Des Q'J'Te Vois - which she was due to sing at the event.

However, Paradis was accused of miming when she went on stage without a microphone, with fans also critisising the star for her lacklustre performance.

Marie, who was in the audience for Saturday's ceremony in Cannes, tells WENN, "I'm very disappointed. Her album is very good, but she acted as if she didn't want to be here.

"A very disappointing performance

Original article

I have a feeling there is more to this story, maybe all performances were lip-synced?

Video of performance

The truth girls is that Vanessa didn't want to be there, but the NRJ radios almost "forced" her to do it and threatened her, and she had to do it under their rules "no band and playback", obviously she didn't want to do playback so instead of fooling the public, she went out without mic.
And as you can see, she did the performance with a bit lack of spirit =S

I found this on "perez hilton", the site that insulted Vanessa pretty bad...there are comments that the people posted:

Hi, I'm French and you have to know that she didn't want to go at those NRJ Music Awards (big shit for a show). As they didn't want her to sing 'live', she said she would do any efforts and sing without micro. She's just a rebel as her husband.

She did this consciously, The radio station that organises this show threatened her: if she did not perform she would not be broadcasted anymore. So she did what we call in France "le strict minimum". that is to do as less as you can. She completly assumed it.

See I knew there had to be a story, good for her...as I was watching the tape I thought to myslef what was she supposed to do? With no band there and no mike anyone would look odd.
