I believe 9ice has been very outstanding so far. He got us all dancing with his hit song and i bet you mixing the native dialect with pidgin and english and still making that kind of impact is not a joke. His 2nd album rocked.
MI fantastic artist. I love his style. And i'm addicted to his songs.
The only disappointment i had was that dare got no awards, that showed how stiff the competition was.Dare's awards will come on the international scene. His song is world class so i wish him better luck.

I have limited comments about the AWARDS....
The Inception was kool and that was because they wanted to Buy people to believe in them but after that... the rest has been pure R U B B I S H!!!!!!
Ave been following the Award from Inception and know the organisers very well even before they started the Awards
The Organiser, Ayo Animashaun has betrayed a lot of people during the period of the Awards and has made a mockery of the trust they had in him

I know virtually all the guys in the Awards commitee and their pedegree in the industry, most of them have issues with some of the Nominated artist and are not qualified to be in the Panel. Even Ayo does too but just had to Nominate them to keep the public quiet.

There's no reason an Album thats only recognised by Nigerians should win Best Album... when people like Tuface, P sQUARE and Darey has a Global and Internal audience
I dont know how they do their research but they really need to go back to school to learn what research means

There is a lot of reason why this kind of Awards cannot survive far...

Omawunmi has no business been Nominated for next Rated talk less of winning
Best Street Hip Hop went to the wrong person
Best Album went to the wrong person and a whole lot of others
This is really a mediocare

I was @ the awards and saw that they spent a lot of the Money MTN endorsed to them, that seems to be the only thing they did well

Shame on MTN for identifying with that Kinda Brand
