I wanted to see Mtshengiseni Gcwensa entering 2010 best maskandi albums, but it did not heppend because they knew that he will win.Even if they hide his good perfomence but the truth stays he is the best maskandi singer.
why dont you let Mtshengiseni Gcwensa who always bring heat Maskandi albums to enter 2010 best maskandi awards nominees.Are you jalouse of him?why do you always hid his good perfomence?
Cleo ,Oskido,Blackcoffie,rockz man !!!!!!

BIG NUZ, ITS ALL YOURS

Why aren’t the City Bowl Mizers nominated?
good music by Dj cleo siyahamba inja yam…
BLK JKS are LEGENDARY.They deserve to win best album.they have redefined rock music and haven broken into the American market.Rolling stone gave them 3 and a 1\2 stars enough said.
i think big nuzz is going to scoop that award
gal either u from durban or u have good taste in music
Culoe De Song, Black Coffee & Oskido are da hit of da moment. Definately they are taking da awards wit them. Its a night 2b celebrated indeed.

Yea,Tea Gas takes it all !!!
Y 1 nommie 4 HHP cum on it is year u knw!
The Plain will leave the Samas with two awards in thier hands and the rest can fall on anyone i’m less interested…all the best.
Good Day,
I am very disappointed on the sama’s this year. They dont give us a chance to buy tickets that we can also afford only the one’s for R120-R150 that you must go and sit with teenagers and cannot even hear what has been said. Better to watch them on TV.What happened to tickets for R300 OR MORE This means if you dont know anyone from MTN then you’ll never see better chances.PLS HELP WHERE TO GET TICKETS I DONT MEAN THE VIP ONES.
Black coffee all the way, I love you Juju… I say give it to me!
somnandi will win no matter what.
i thouth you know maskandi,hayi u somnandi uyesabeka njengekhekhe lenyosi uzozenzela,vele uphethe istayela!!!!
ezase………ningawu lokothi isinamuva liyabukwa isikhath se DURBAN manje.
I cant wait !Its so gonna be dope.my fingers are tightly crossed for my man,Black Coffie !
Just can’t wait to see hu gonna take the big award!!!!But I’m for Rythmic Elements or Culoe de Song… Or Big Nuz!!!
Just can’t wait to see who’s gonna take the Big award…..Big Nuz nd Rythmic Elements…but then again Culoe de song…eix its gonna be tough!!!
samas rocks
can i be your fairytale i hope it gets the award plus Brian Themba
Record Of The Year looks like quite a tight one, my best guess is the people might give it to Big Nuz, Winnie Khumalo, Black Coffee or even Rhythmic Elements – can’t wait.
Not very much pleased with the fact that PRO KID is not on the Record of the Year category,maara why?
Were is Rebecca Malope this year round? Or do they sideline u if u produce good content one after the other?
I agree Rachel.
I thought this were 4 south african artists, i was surprised when i saw oliver mtukuzi’s name
I guess Zimbabwe is close enough …
