CANNES, France (AFP) - Madonna (news - web sites), Britney Spears (news), Kylie Minogue (news), Dido and Seal are among artists expected to perform in this Riviera city next Saturday for France's annual NRJ music awards.
The awards are held as the international music industry descends on Cannes for the annual MIDEM trade jamboree, the music world's premier trade show, and will be broadcast live both on France's TF1 television and on NRJ radio network.
The pop music station's awards are based on a public vote, with around 50 artists competing for 15 awards, among them also Robbie Williams (news), Beyonce and Justin Timberlake (news) as well as French-language artists Florent Pagny, Kyo, Pascal Obispo and Helene Segara.
Last year votes from more than 900,000 people put Colombian singer Shakira out tops, while the Latino sensation Las Ketchup took a prize for "international revelation of the year" -- and Robbie Williams and Mariah Carey (news) looked on in the audience.
NRJ is a popular commercial FM radio network whose name, when pronounced in French, makes the word "energy".
