Brown Shuga on Wed, 10th Nov 2010 12:27 am

Zeal on Wed, 10th Nov 2010 1:14 am
haibo BS, dont come here with your world cup tendencies!! lol
hao, what about the other categories, e.g best styled or something like that!?!?!
Zida on Wed, 10th Nov 2010 1:30 am
People I’m gonna be voting for are, in this order:
Black Coffee
Simphiwe Dana
DJ Kent
Liquideep
Deep Level
Met DJ Kent. He’s actually good looking. And he’s a sweet heart. He’s just too short. I wouldn’t want a man that’s gonna look like my poodle.
And what’s up with Relo’s husband or fiance or whatever he is. Is he Kent’s manager or something? He gave me a serious Jerry Mofokeng side-eye. And he did the same with some waitress girl who was asking Kent for a job shame.
Has Zeal always been like an elephant. Lowasisi is huge shem. Not to be nasty or anything.
And Sophie Ndaba and that young kid she was with? Ooh ayi. But that boy has always been a groupie vele. He even did modeling. I don’t know why he stopped, he’s even let go of his body. To think I once thought he was hot. I must have been blinded by his height and dark chocolate complexion.

Lol @ the cough for Mbombela
lejazz on Wed, 10th Nov 2010 8:18 am
Awards in stadium???!! They are taking this 2010 theme of soccer way too far now realluy…ai Mbombela has thrown ACE down instead of keeping it close to its chest…we will wait and see what happens on that night.
Then what was the use of publishing five nominees in public then later on reduce them to three arg crap metro

I cant believe that they are having the awards at the stadium. But atleast the stadium will stop being a white elephant for a few hours.
I really hope teh awards are amazing and they pull it off. I remember the Durban awards in 2004. Wow! That was just amazing and I am still spellbound by the opening
