The Excellence in Music and Entertainment Awards turned out to be one drama after the other. Yeah, the award ceremony itself was okay, but man we couldn't stop cracking up at some of the things that went on there!

LA Lewis' blunder

But a who really tell Richie B fi ask LA Lewis to make a presentation! Mi nah lie yuh mi suh embarrass dat di whole time mi kinda tun whey mi head from the stage. When LA went on stage to announce the winner...he said and we quote, "the category goes to! Then he realized something was wrong with that and 'corrected' himself by saying "the nominee goes to...uh oh! Well at least we can say LA was persistent as he finally got it right by process of elimination!

Richie get award too

Richie held the award show to honour artistes in the biz but bwoy dem pop a surprise on him when he was presented with an award from the Ministry of Tourism...only thing is we kinda did a think still sey him neva look too surprise...but chu maybe him di man just cool like dat. Big up Richie continue fi duh yuh ting.

Nice speech Brick and Lace

Mi couldn't dun and nuh big up the speech whey di Brick and Lace Sisters give when dem go up fi receive one award. Still mi neva tink dem woulda stop chat, but dem sey one ting whey mi rate... "big up to all a di females in the business." If we coulda find dat deh kinda attitude we woulda si more women a progress in di biz.

I like the category of Reggae Role Model & Dance Hall role model. Beres and Shaggy respectively. Now if only some artists will take a lesson from these two Artists. I cannot remember hearing any Passa Passa involving Beres or Shaggy. It was a good show, the award receipients seems deserving, couldnt really agrue the the choices...maybe except fi di beenie/barbee collabration..what about Chuck Fender/Cherine Anderson for I am coming over tonight or dat released earlier. Any Big Up to this Award show.
