Did the Black Eyed Peas jinx itself Saturday night when the group opened France's NRJ awards with its No. 1 anthem, "I Gotta Feeling?"
Even though the song predicts that "tonight's gonna be a good night," it actually turned out to be embarrassing for the hip-hop pop act that was mistakenly announced as the winner of the best international group honor, the New York Daily News reports.
Fortunately, the Peas did not take the stage when presenters Ke$ha and French choreographer Kamel Ouali accidentally called the group's name.
The German rock band Tokio Hotel was the actual winner.
After realizing the error, Ouali apologized. He said that the information card was confusing because it listed the winner and the other nominees. The crowd booed.
Ouali acknowledged the crowd's annoyance, and blamed NRJ for listing all of the candidates on the card.
