Ooh, I am so excited about these awards...October is too far though, damn the last time i saw an awards show was ages ago...I really wanna find out from Channel O, since I'm marrying into the family and all, don't I get to present an award alongside "my" man?? hi hi hi hi

Enough hustling, here's the complete list of nominees: 

I admit, I haven't been watching a lot of Channel O these days but I'm gonna do that between now and the awards ceremony so I can have an opinion on whether the winners are deserving or not. I will only comment on the ones I've seen....

1. BEST MALE VIDEO

Artist - Song - Title - Country

Batman Samini African Lady Ghana

D’Banj Why Me Nigeria

Don Kikas Miss U Angola

HHP Tlhabane to Maftown SA

Nameless Sinzia Kenya

Tay grin Stand Up Malawi

That Tlhabane to Maftown video is cool but defs not the best thing around so I don't know......have you guys seen the rest?


2. BEST FEMALE VIDEO

Artist -Song Title Country

Chomee Jiver Sexy SA

Dama Do Bling Danca Do Remexe Mozambique

Ida Make It Hot Kenya

Lira Feel Good SA

Neyma Mbilo Yanga Mozambique

Weird MC Ready to Party Nigeria

What I don't get here is that Chomee's Jiver Sexy wasn't exactly "new" when she perfomed the song at last year's awards ceremony so why is it only nominated now? 
Lira should have no problem taking this one, don't care what the others look like. 


3. BEST NEWCOMER VIDEO

Artist Song Title Country

Faze Kolomental Nigeria

Gumshev Hosh SA

L’Vovo Banyang Sukela SA

Sanchez Pick it Up Nigeria

Scar Metlholo Botswana

The Dogg Baby Don’t go Namibia

Gumshev? Mmhhh...we'll see. L'vovo's song rockz but there's nothing "Best" about that video, truth be told. Same goes for Scar's video, he should have been in the Big Brother Africa House taking Justice's place qha.....he's cute..

4. BEST DUO OR GROUP VIDEO

Artist Song Title Country

Afro Fiesta Matinda DRC

Gal Level Lala Namibia

Kalibrados Quem Manda No Teu Block Angola

Mafikizolo O tswa kae SA

P Square Bizzy Body Nigeria

Teargas Chance SA 

I really don't think Mafikizolo would mind if we gave this award to someone else...they have enough of these...Besides, wouldn't it be awkward to give them an award for best group when one of them is busy promoting a solo album? Khanimeni bethuna...


5. BEST DANCE VIDEO

Artist Song Title Country

Acid Banyana le Basimane Botswana

Chomee Jiver Sexy SA

DJ Cleo Falling SA

DJ Sbu Remember when it rained SA

DJ Zee Same Here Kenya

Mina Nawe Where I wanna be SA

If this was "Best Song" I would split the award between Sbu and Mina Nawe but this is Best Dance Video and Sbu's video is not Best Video material...come on now!! Sorry Sbu, you know I love you but haikhona.....not that video.

Putting that Mina Nawe video on this list is actually A JOKE!!! That video shot at park station??? That video is HORRIBLE and my beef with is that it is a bad video to one of the best songs in Mzansi...are we nominating the song or the video? Maybe I don't get it!!


6. BEST RAGGA DANCEHALL VDIEO

Artist Song Title Country

Batman Samini African Lady Ghana

E.A.B.C Kube Kenya

Khalaharians Give It Up Namibia

7. BEST R&B VIDEO

Artist Song Title Country

Danny K Unfrozen SA

De Indispensables I Love You Nigeria

Lizha James Nunawamina Mozambique

Neyma Mbilo Yanga Mozambique

Tumi Give me You SA

Wyre Make a choice Kenya

Again, I've only seen Danny K's video here and it is damn good so I will be keeping an eye on the HIT TRAIN for the rest of the videos. Or Channel O can just donate a DVD with all these videos he he he I'm pushing it, neh?


8. BEST KWAITO VIDEO

Artist Song Title Country

Gazza Mokasie Namibia

Gumshev Hosh SA

Kabelo Dubula Dubula SA

L’Vovo Bayang’ sukela SA

Thebe Dankie SA

Zola Stars SA

There's Kwaito in Namibia??  Ijoo! Gumshev's video must be pretty good for them to be all over like this... 
Which one is Thebe's "Dankie" bathong??? Hayi, mina I don't remember it...I only remember the bad Nomathemba.

9. BEST AFRICAN SOUTHERN VIDEO

Doma Do Bling Danca Do Remexe Mozambique

Judging by the number of nominations, I think it's safe to say that this award will either be won by HHP or D'Banj. 


The Awards ceremony will he held at the Johannesburg City Hall on Thursday, 11 October 2007. 
Gaaddd, kanti what's up with having an awards show on Thursday people??? Some of us have jobs to go to during the week...

So guys, who else is gonna be "off sick" that Friday?? He he he he Dr Beyonce, please prepare them sick notes...

Channel O, whatever you do, please don't get Chomee to perform there coz I'll be mad...Book L'vovo now, at least he doesnt' need to buy a fake passport to come to Jozi....
It would be nice if you could book Tumi as well.

it's a pity that BBA would still be on coz it would have been nice to have Kwaku at the awards, now we'll be stuck with Jeff, Ofunneka, Meryl and Justice!!! They'll defs be out of the house by then :-)
