2002- The award that never was. Dig around on the Michael Jackson post to read about it.

Isn't the MTV awards where Milli Vanilli was outed as being fake? Watch Behind the Music to see the clip. The record jams on the words "Girl, you know its true" over and over again until they ran off the stage. Nah, come to think of it- I don't think it was the awards show
