[Namie Amuro] World Music Awards 2010 (18th May@Monte Carlo, Manaco)

[non3ko]

I'm so happy Namie gets the recognition she deserves! I'm definitely tuning in to watch the WMA's this year.

I like her outfit, but I wonder what song she performed. I pray it wasn't FUNKY TOWN, I despise that song. She looks tired, but her ageless beauty still shines through.

But anyway, it's really awesome that she went! And congrats on the award!
(Though, I don't like her dress...>_<)

It's not like the money she 'earned' was hard work. She's 'famous' for being famous, if that makes any kind of sense.

Yeah that's totally hard work. lol Getting paid just for appearances, even if she only stays like 5 minutes.
I almost forgot, she has her own perfume and hair products.

I'm also one of those people who think: Why Paris Hilton? >_<
Can't stand this woman.

Congrats to Namie!
And I so wanna see the performance.
Hopefully a channel somewhere in Asia broadcasts it, cause I'm afraid it won't be showed in any western programs.

[R_Hikki]

It was awesome seeing Namie amongst all those American and other world celebs, working the photographers.

And I thought it was interesting that Paris presented Namie with the award. It makes a cool contrast.

[AyUta]

I'm so happy for her!

[Rocky Raven]

Here is the preview of the performance, great sound so far, and Namie looks nervouse, but it's okay =D

And I do believe that after this performance, more westerners may take notice of her

[prussian blue]

namEE amuro? sorry Paris, you should learn how to pronounce other ppl's name correctly, especially in such award like this :/

[Polyrhythm]

OH GAWD. Nam-eeeee?

[Rocky Raven]

I think it's okay, she didn't mean to read it wrong tho =]
The more important thing was that Namie performed and accepted the award in front of alot of western artists <3

[Mr. Goto]

lol at least paris didn't butcher namie's name as badly as patricia field.

NA-MI-UH

*Shrugs* If you think Paris does absolutely no work whatsoever, then I guess that's your opinion.

[rakeru]

Smooth job paris. That pronunciation must have used up all your eighteen remaining brain cells.
