The Channel O Music Video Awards

The Channel O music video awards are happening this year at the Sandton Convention Centre (I’m glad it’s not Carnival City). This event has previously been dented by a bit of controversy but I can’t get into that. I have hope that this year will be different and exciting. Besides my optimistic being, I believe that it will be so because of my presence. I am hoping for an invite this year….

I don’t have a favorite video as per say, I have favorite songs but this is not about me but about who makes the “most” interesting music videos. I see they listed JR’s “make the circle beeger” as featuring HHP, I wonder how they plan to insert the big guy in that vid. There is a guy called Big Nelo, under the “most gifted dance video”, you will be glad to know it’s one person and not a group. He is a Hip Hop artist from Angola. Local group Big Nuz has got 3 nominations, be sure to catch their fourth member on stage should they win an award. K’naan also has 3 nominations for his song T.I.A


See the nominees below and use those sms bundles to vote for your favorite music video on the number +27 83 920 8406, you vote using the SMS Code next to the artist name and song. You can also vote on www.mva.channelo.tv or even on mxit. The awards are set to place on the 4th of November 2010.
