#SAMA22 A Blaze

The weekend came and went and what a pleasant experience it was. This past Saturday the SAMAs awarded the most deserving artists in the land and we have no complaints regarding the winnings.

Let’s begin with the hosts, Thando Thabethe and Somizi Mhlongo did an amazing job all through the night. While Somizi was serving jokes upon jokes Thando was on a fashion slayage voyage.

The performances were also top notch with acts like Khuli Chana, Riky Rick and Karlien van Jaarsveld who took to stage to help Nathi belt out his beloved song Nomvula. We’re disappointed though that Ricky didn’t bag anything for the night but let’s discuss our predictions

Ø  Our first prediction was on the  Album of the Year category and here we were torn between Nathi and Black Coffee who by the way ended up taking the award which was accepted on by his mother on his behalf cause he’s out there in the world representing Mzansi

Ø  Zonke took the ward for Female Artist of the Year and that took us all by surprised because we were pretty convinced that the award had Karen Zoid’s name on it. We were surprised further that the usual suspect Zahara also didn’t match up and the reigning queen of rap Fifi Cooper also fell short

Ø  Our happiest moment of the night was when Nathi took the New Comer of the Year gong which we predicted he would. This guy deserves everything that’s coming his way

Ø  Though we said the gong for Best Rap Album would be between Ricky Rick and Emtee, we knew that Emtee would inevitably take it but we were just hoping that Boss Zonke would be crowned

Ø  This was the most obvious category of all and we predicted it correctly and indeed Black Coffee took it. Better luck Mobi Dixon

Ø  Just when we thought Shumaya was done and dusted it resurfaces and snatched the Best Collaboration award from new kids Shekinah and Kyle. Also better luck next time guys.

For next year we're crossing our fingers and evrything crossable that Nasty C wins as much awards as he deserves.
