While Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Beyonce were present, as well as the big boobed Jordan and Victoria Silvstedt, Michael Jackson was who the crowds attending the World Music Awards wanted to see. But boy did he disappoint his fans. He was expected to sing “Thriller” which was instead performed by Chris Brown.

Earlier that evening, Jackson was given the Diamond Award honoring artists who sell more than 100 million records.

“I am greatly humbled by this award,” said Jackson, who wore his jet black hair long and straight. “It was my dream that ‘Thriller’ would be the biggest-selling album ever … and God has answered my prayers,” he added.

Being a part in a rousing rendition of “We Are the World” just doesn’t cut it.
