Milli Vanilli initially received the award for Best New Artist. Later that year, the duo's producer Frank Farian confirmed that both members, Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus, had not lent their own vocals to their first record, _Girl You Know It's True_. They had lip-synched their way through all live performances. The award was subsequently revoked by the Recording Academy.
