Talk:World Music Award

sorry about that, i'm new to this... um i cant find anything on google, ive tried alot of times... is there anyway u can contact the awards organisers to ask about past winners? In particulr Najwa Karam...


 * thank you

By the way, sorry if was harsh in anyway. Information on the World music awards are very hard to find. After checking out their official website, it seems as if they do not have a database or anything in which to find winners. However, I will keep checking for you so if you return to your talk page, I might be able to give you some info or inform you that I do not have any. If I havent contacted you, just buzz me at my talk page. For 2000, see
 * 2000 Results.

For 2003, see
 * 2003 WMA results

For 2004, see
 * 2004 Results

Information is very scarse after that but I will check for you.

lol thanx for that... I'm just sure that ive seen Najwa Karam at the awards before sometime in the 90s... but i just wanted to confirm it was her who one the award.

thanx again


 * This link is not from the WMA but from Monte Carlo's tourist information ofiice. THe WMA do not name any millemnium award. Also, the Tourist Information Board gives the wrong description of the Legend Award- Mariah and M Jackson were given a Legend Award each that year. The Legend Award is ,according to the WMA for 'Outstanding Contribution to Tthe Music Industry' and has been awarded to many artists apart from Mariah and Miachael, however on the Tourist Information Centre, it changes into 'Best-selling Artist of the Millemnium'- still called legend award. The WMA are clear that such Millemnium Award was never given- these were Legend Awards. Confusion in Prince Albert's speech, Mariah's thanksgiving and g=from her entourage have then turned the legend Award into something which the WMA never awarded. At least, this article should be referred to the WMA, not being another Mariah spin page!

How come there's no link to the WMA Website? Hiding the original source? Here it is

Chopard Diamond Award
Chopard Diamond Award why Michael Jackson didn't receive this award although he sold over 100 million copies?


 * They only give out one per year. I suspect that soon he will recieve this award. Perhaps even at the next WMA's. Street walker 11:16, 28 January 2006 (UTC)


 * They only give prizes to artists that can attend the show.

The other Monte Carlo information centre website is a masterpiece of confusion and misinformation, claiming the Millemnium Award was unique and then stating it is actually a Legend award, which has been given to many artists already. Information about all major prizes is available on the WMA website (it lists all winners, and shows pictures with every year) and clearly states that Mariah and Michael were given a Legend Award, NOT 'Best selling artist of the Millemnium' award in 2000. We know that all Mariah fans ignore the WMA and hang on to unsubstantiated spin about this 'millemnium award, but this is an article about the WMA that ignores information from the WMA in favour of a ttourist information centre. It's hilarious! At least, this article should be referred to the WMA, not being another Mariah spin page! It's clear that on the same Montecarlo page the Legend Award is desctribed as something for Mariah, and something else (falling from top to bottom of the page) for Chaka Khan!!! Prince Albert may love Mariah, but the WMA never gave her that title!!!!

Pay no attention to this editor, please. Oran  e    (t)   (c)   (e)  16:54, 9 April 2006 (UTC)


 * This editor has actually put Orane in contact with The WMA's legal officer- and given him official confirmation of what I say and a clear explanation from the WMA themselves (LEGAL OFFICER) stating exactly what I say above, but Orane, who HAS copies of the documents, has decided to ignore the WMA's own legal statement. Anyone who wishes a copy of the WMA's official denial of teh existence iof the Millemnium Award (as if their Website was not enough), get yourself an email address and post it here- I will get you all in touch with the WMA. PS_ why don't you report what the WMA say about teh best selling female artist of all time in their legal letter? That it was never given to Mariah, but has been offered to madonna who so far has refused it? Don't believe it ladies and gents? Get a new email (to avoid hassle) and I'll get you a legal confirmation of it, from the WMA's LEGAL OFFICE! Not teh Monte Carlo Tourist Information office (as is the only link on this page!!!)


 * Also Michael Jackson did get a best-selling artist ever award, but not by the WMA, by the MJ Awards. Your link nr 7 confirms it.


 * You can believe what you want to believe but at the end of the day, the World Music Awards named her the biggest selling female artist of all time.

OMG i just read you argument STREET WALKER and is that why the honor Mariah Carey, because Prince Albert is a fan. That is extremley biased and unfair. Don't trust this award show, go by the Grammys!

I don't think the World Music Awards are 100% accurate
I don't believe the artists that they honor is such a high position, really deserve to be given such a crown. Yes, they deserve recognition but not titles such as "BEST SELLING ARTIST OF ALL TIME". I find it hard to swallow that Michael Jackson (Yes, I understand he is MASSIVE) can wear this crown over Elvis Presley and same for Mariah Carey (Big again) I can't see on earth how she was given the crown over Madonna or Celion Dion. Another unusual thing is the fact that if you go by the offical site and use it to find how to contact the World Music Awards, most of the address that come up are hotmail adresses???? So unprofessional!

I trust much more prestigous music associations and especially the one and only Grammys. Plus I've never heard of the World Music Awards, until I search for a list of music awards shows.


 * Oh don't worry you are not alone in this thinking. Beside the fact that it's stupid to award the best selling (aren't sales enough for them?), the criteria is ludicrous to say the least, not to mention the "best selling of all time". There are several artists that have never been audited by the association and therefore never sold anything according to them, or very little. For example many know that Motown Records' founder Berry Gordy refused to have the records audited and therefore for example Diana Ross or Diana Ross and The Supremes are never mentioned officially when talking about sales, but we all know they sold MUCH MUCH more than Destiny's Child, whose "Best Selling group of all time" award is a pure fantasy. And the fact that you cannot trace back or find historic information about this so-called show should be a clue.

Then, if you take into consideration the fact that most companies report "sales" as units shipped, which is a totally different thing.......... Such an award should be banned until you can actually trust the sources. For example, even the most selling artist of all time (Beatles or Elvis) are debated over, Madonna as well, ABBA ...you name it. 62.2.236.130 13:53, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
