The Nominees were chosen by the channel by looking at the quality of the music in combo with the videos as well as their popularity on the channel e.g. the number of times they were played, viewer feedback and the number of requests for the video's.
Amarula's sponsoring the event again this year so we can be prepared for more ...

Hayi shem Brown Dash still get nominations even though aphelelwe yoh. I wonder what is happening with this guy. He used to be hot when he was still with TS Records. I wish angabuyela maybe he will get his groove back. I saw him the last with those lips of his ezichachambileyo ingathi ulambile. I wonder he is still with that girlfriend/wife of his they call Lungi. That girl looked fly for Brown Dash mara. Hayi shame Channel O doesn't discriminate maybe uzowina Brown Dash then become popular again.

Best male video Pro for Uthini ngo Pro (HHP, i don't don't like the TOILET concept, atleast if other scenes were out of the TOILET, i would want you to win)
Best female video Lira for Wa mpaleha (thandiswa's video is bad, it may have been the hardest if she really did it in water, but its a bad video, it does not do justice to the song, if she wins, its because of the song, not the VIDEO)
Best Dance Video Winnie Khumalo for Live my life OR Master Jam feat. RJ. Benjamin for Change The World
I have a feeling that Lira will collect them once again. She deserves all of them, her video is great. Go Lira go.
Where is Unathi's "We Thembisile"??? Did they forget her?? LOL
