Lahvee on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 10:25 pm 



Why Ungajumpanga ezes’bhunu?

Do they normally have this long list of nominations vele? I don’t know if i listen to too much 5fm, but i don know most of these ppl! Looks like they tried to make a lot of artists!

Tjo!!! Fringe is hectic mos!! never watched it before!

what was i talking about?… oh the awards! TKZ must NOT win! Lira must take all awards and @least give some to Thandiswa! Who are the newcomers?

Haai let me sleep! Thanx JC, for delivering soo soon

Kabzan on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 10:26 pm 



lol @ Avisto….did she release this/last year? kwa kwa
BS are you also at Taboo?

Afro Samurai on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 10:29 pm 



All rather meh,nothing exciting but it wasn’t an exciting year for music.

GA on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 10:33 pm 



Great weekend to you too BS sisi..mwaa!

Kodwa…its really sad how i dont recognise +80% of the musicians up there. I only recognis The Best African Contemporary Gospel Album, Best African Traditional Gospel Album, urben gosepl..thanx to Anti Rebecca le gospel time…and afro pop.

Record of the year…i hope it goes to Jesse Clegg…

Kabzan on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 10:35 pm 



ok my thoughts on the list: Im very excited about nominees for RECORD of the year- all artists who deserve it are there.nice one.
congrats to Blackcoffee,Thandiswa,Jaziel Brothers nice one. Ok Lira give others a break!. where are TS Records artists? im very disappointed that Nhlanhla Nciza was not nominated. kanti when did Pro Kid release his album,y is he also not there?!
Conrats to JR ,Teargas & Khuli Chana…they deserved it. im happy that KB got nominated as well! yes i am. Tkzee sould havebeen nominated more, good album..not sure about it being on Kwaito category though.
boMlungu ba ba ningi ba haai…i dont listen to afrikaans albums.

Makgotso on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 10:46 pm 



Interesting indeed

sipho on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 10:47 pm 



South africans are realy working hard to give good music,this must be a tough decision for the judges…I wish everyone good luck,even those who won’t get the award don’t stop doing what u do best

soul sista on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 11:08 pm 



Thank Ghaad Dr Ribs is no where to be found.

I like the Solly Mahlangu guy. Lira still deserve something.
Brian Themba is my fav too.

Nonkawu on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 11:19 pm 



This is bull sh*t,i am boycotting the SAMAs ths year. Why wasnt Shugasmakx nominated for that track Imisebenzi Yakho feat Brickz? Skwatta also no nomination for Summer Song kwi song of the year category?Why is RJ Benjamin nominated AGAIN for the same song,in the same category as last year? I am so disappointed. L-tido,also nt nominated for DO U LIKE IT WHEN IT RAINS? I Hope Thandiswa walks away with most coz ngkhathele u Lira,she is followin in Sis Ribz footsteps (too much of anything/anyone can make me sick).I am glad Ribs aint nominated ths year.. Thandiswa and Black Coffee,my money is on the both of u..Goodluck,hope these sama people dont ask for some kind of payolla.

Nonkawu on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 11:25 pm 



Ntando Bangani,i hope u also win @ least eyodwa.U are very talented,u are the ONLY male afro pop artist whose music i buy without even thinkin twice.

Nthoentle on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 11:31 pm 



@Lahvee-atleast I’m not alone, I also don’t know these people!

Sthe on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 11:39 pm 



Black Coffee’s HOME BREWED is just out of this world!The man knows how 2 rock n deliver a killer album.My moolah,mos’def on him…and It’s wafa-wafa 4 record of the year…Where’s Mahootah’s potoko?

Sthe on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 11:40 pm 



Oh and Bongi Dube too?…

Cheesa on Thu, 4th Mar 2010 11:50 pm 



Oh Nonkawu I’m with you on the Ntando issue. I sooo want him to take both awards that man is good at what he does. I am sooo mad PRO is no where to be found on the nomination list like WTF. They have been robbing him too much I thought they were finally going to recognise him this year other than that I am fine with the list. I am glad there is no Ribs and Lira. She should also rest this year. Why is Change the World there like really now. Thank you there is no Chomee and Kelly Khumalo. I’m glad Big Nuzz has more than one nominations and they must please win this year. I wish Black Coffee wins too and Jozi. I think I’m cool with the list shem.

RIP Mdu,lm so sad en feel lyk crying now

Nonkawu on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 5:51 am 



What pisses me off about Mdu’s death is knowing that stupid programme called LIVE could dedicate the entire show to him,pretending as if they care with their straight faces and knees whilst they stopped talking about him let alone playing his music donkeys years ago. ..Tonite they will be all sad and dressed in black…Hayi nxa. Thats why i loove Gareth Cliff coz yena he does not pretend shem.. Well back to the samas,why is PRO n NHLANHLA not on the list? Vulan usekele oooh okaay. Ndiyahamba mna ndibhek eZimbabwe,ndibhek eMalawi,ndibhek eMozambique,ndibhek eNigeria,ndibheke Conco… I repeat: This year i am boycotting the damn awards,I AM NOT GOING TO SUNCITY and I WONT WATCH THEM ON TV..*let me plan a trip to where there is no sabc or no tv @ all*

SZ on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 7:22 am 



I am soooo happy for TearGas they deserve it!!!Big Nuz have to win this time their album was just HOT!!!As for ProKid seriously like WTF???He was suppossed to be nominated…and Bongani Fassie should take the Best Remix with Party TIme…ther rest of them dnt interest me.

Cheesa on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 7:34 am 



Guys they say its NOT TRUE THAT MDU IS DEAD. LOL blame it on some celeb who broke the news and declared its official that Mdu has passed on heheeh tjo.

Nonkawu on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 7:40 am 



I am glad POTOKO is not nominated,thats a very stupid song and it has no meaning wat so ever.

Puleng Morake on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:00 am 



why isn’t nhlanhla nciza nominated??

iconic on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:03 am 



Shame rest in peace Mdu…does anybody knows what happened to him?

iconic on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:07 am 



Hee banna!

Cheesa on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:10 am 



Hahahaaha Iconic yeah its like that LMAO!!

MphoNka on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:14 am 



Come on BS: I need to know the scandals about the party. Who was there, did what, how was the deco, performances and the general vibe. The list of nominess can be accessed everywhere

Miss Fab on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:24 am 



Im very disappointed that Bongi Dube was not nominated.

SZ on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:29 am 



Damn Bonang…she on HOT water now…

Curious Indeed on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:30 am 



It’s about time Black Coffee won the brother is too talented, sikhathele uCleo maan..hope he gets jack this year….Culoe de Song definitely best new comer & BIG NUZ should thank ALL four awards…NGIYABONGA MINA!

Curious Indeed on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:32 am 



rather TAKE all four awards….my curiousity is getting the better of me…lol…

Nonny on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:36 am 



Guys which Mdu must rest in peace is the same one who did: “Gibela phez’kwendlu, ubatshela…..and it went on.”

soul sista on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:46 am 



Guys who made it official that MDU is dead?
I was listening to Kaya fm and the rumour is NOT TRUE.

Arthur Mafokate said he talked with Mdu and he’s ok. The only thing that is dead is his career.

Khosie on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:52 am 



this nominee list made me realise that andisa wazi umculo

beyonce on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 8:55 am 



Bonang confirmed it on twitter izolo, shame she must feel like impundu today, what a moemish

“Sad but VERY true guys… Another Legend, a bitter sweet day for all of us! Will have full details for you tmrw.. #RIP Mdu Masilela ”

Miss H on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:00 am 



I am shocked, does Joe Nina still make music? And did Mzambiya release an album???

Nonkawu on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:03 am 



Kiss Kiss bathong,she is gonna be the MOEGOE OF THE WEEK on Sunday World….kwakwakwa

Mogwanthi on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:07 am 



lmao @ Kiss Kiss, and she is saying NOTHING about it anymo! Tjo this girl, i first saw it on her FB status

soul sista on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:10 am 



LOL @ Nonkawu…I just thought of you and the Bonang picture that is to be taken while she’s in class.

sponono on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:12 am 



As much as I’d like Lira to win, I dont understand how does a LIVE recording of songs from OLD albums, get nominated for the artist for this particular year, maybe they should have said best live recording…(at least she got nominated for global dvd.whateva that means)

Secondly…I’ve not heared a SINGLE song by Busi Mhlongo from her latest cd.except the House mixed tracks from other djs…so how does she get nominated,as BEST Female solo. is it somekind of a sympathy omination…SMH…(love her though)

LOL @ Joe Nina is now doing Alternative Music….

NKD, Axene….who are these people

Nonkawu on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:21 am 



soul sista,since no one is willing to help me,i will personally go and take the pic myself….its part of my resolutions…lol

Kazisongo on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:24 am 



*singing* umlilo we Big Nuz, umlilo uyashis’ungawulokothi…….

Mogwanthi on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:24 am 



gotta agree with Sponono about Busi Mhlongo!

iconic on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:27 am 



Kanti..Mdu is sick or something?what gave Bonang the idea?

Nna ke Maditaba hle! on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:31 am 



Guys – MDU is NOT DEAD…..family spokespoerson just confirmed that he is ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why hasn’t Mahoota aka POTOKO not been nominated for anything?

hornyAngel on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:32 am 



interesting ..record of the year its a bit tough i like 11 tracks on dat list…

K.d matanzima on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:38 am 



Bonang waz just plain high am sho she doez’nt evn remember wat she wrote last nyt hence shez always twittern

Nonkawu on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:41 am

iconi…I also have the same question, surely there musta been something… but then I wonder what gave Bonang the rite or duty to report or is she some kind of spokesperson for yester-years musicians or did somebody ask her to tweet abut Mdu mmmhh and she even said we’ll have more tommorow…nx what a Twat!!!

sponono on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:47 am 



Nonkawu..now what are you suggesting about the Live virus and mdu…

sponono on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:49 am 



oop you talkin about LIVE (virus)the tv show…LOL…my badddd

Miss H on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:52 am 



They musnt send out a spokesperson to say he is alive. He must come out himself, we want to see him.

Nthoentle on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 9:59 am 



I don’t believe Mdu is dead, I heard nothing on the radio and there’s nothing on news24!

SZ on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:05 am 



Best Hip Hop/Rap : Teargas.All the rest Big Nuz.

Nonkawu on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:07 am 



hahahah wena Sponono,i am saying the reason why Kiss Kiss behaves like this is becoz of the LIVE VIRUS…

beyonce on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:13 am 



Dont understand why every1 is hattin on POTOKO, its potokolicious

Nonkawu on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:16 am 



@ Beyonce,Potoko is not a song…its just a waste of studio equipment qha!! WHAT EXACTLY IS THAT SONG ABOUT KAHLE KAHLE??

beyonce on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:23 am 



Loves it ke kodwa, Potoko meanes everything & anything …..Potoko Potoko Potoko (everything,everything,anything)……kwaaa kwaaaa kwaaa ……. lov it

Mogwanthi on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:31 am 



i agree Nonkawu, i wonder what was Mahoota thinking! Tjo such crap..
P.S Nonkawu, where were you yesterday? Wena no BS?

Mabheka on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:32 am 



IF the past 15yrs are anything to go by then talents such as Black Coffee & Bongani are not gonna win anything but rather RJ(repeat nominee), Lira(vat alles) & Tumi (wtf seriously). Thus i am boycotting the damn awards

NiccY on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 10:33 am 



Guys i just got an email that Mdu Masilela has passed on – is it true?

LOL@ Miss H and Friend request

zoliswa mabena on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 2:03 pm 



kellerman’s cd lacks originality. he’s taking music from other artists and plagiarising –poor work. lacks integrity.
kwaito rock on 4eva.

modise on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 3:24 pm 



Do the people that don’t like songs without any “message” not listen to instrumental music ? e.g Summer Days by Nick Holder, Maputo by Bob James & David Sanborn, Seventh Avenue by Jonathan Butler, songs by George Benson, Zim Nqawana, Sipho Gumede, Jimmy Dludlu etc ? I find that very strange but after all we have different tastes. If I want a message I’d rather read the bible or some book.

modise on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 3:36 pm 



Though I’m not a fan of house music, I’d like Black Coffee to win the dance award. I think he deserves it for the hard work he’s putting in, plus I like the collabos on the cd.

pinksoul on Fri, 5th Mar 2010 4:40 pm 



RECORD OF THE YEAR _ any of these
