Pop star awarded mistakenly

US pop star Kate Perry was given the international song of the year award for I Kissed a Girl at a French music award, but it turns out her song wasn't the best after all.

The host of the NRJ Music Award in the Riviera resort of Cannes announced at the end of the show on Saturday that there had been a mistake in vote-counting and that Perry was not the winner.
