COULD THIS BE THE EVENT OF THE YEAR?

The 18th Annual South African Music Awards are
right around the corner and will be hosted at Sun City in the North West, on
April the 30th 2012. I really think this will be the most memorable
event of 2011 for South Africa because of all the planning that has been
executed into this event. There will be an amazing 18 hosts for the awards;
which include TV favourite Sizwe Dhlamini and Afro-soul singer Unathi. There
will be goodie bags handed out to every guest at the event; these goodie bags
will include great gifts such as designer sunglasses, trendy jeans and
pampering treatment. All of this and more will be possible due to the sponsors
the show has; they have popular channel and award broadcaster SABC1, clothing
outlet Edgars, car company KIA and many more! In addition to the amazing event
planning; the actual event will be even more worthwhile. There are numerous
nominee categories this year, with the most nominated artists being newcomers
such as Zahara and group Mi Casa. If that isn’t enough; there will even be
performances from artists such as hip-hop star AKA and a Lifetime Achievement
Award segment for two of South Africa’s musical legends; Ray Phiri and Vusi
Mahlasela. I honestly predict that this event will be really packed, plus the
tickets to attend (which were found at Computicket ticket sales) are already
sold out! This will definitely be a great introduction for the new CEO of the
awards; Mr Randall Abrahams, who is also known as a judge on music competition
South African idols.
We all had such high expentations for the SAMA's but I really think they seemed forced and did not intrigued as many performances were boring, but as for the goodie bags, thumbs up!!
ReplyDeleteI also agree; the awards weren't everything we expected them to be! However, some people enjoyed them more than others and the goodie bags were a wonderful twist!
DeleteThe bad: SAMA's were not as entertaining as I expected.
ReplyDeleteThe good: I enjoyed the performances.
I also agree with you Nokuthula, I enjoyed the performances and most of the collaborations on stage. As for the entertainment scale; we all will have a different one!
DeleteWell done to Zahara and Micasa for winning so many awards at the SAMA's! I don't think this event was excellent but I do believe that it was much better than the SAMA Awards 2011
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with you Pelzine because I really thought the event planning skills that were implemented in last years event were not accurate enough, which led to a disaster! However, this year's event could have done better as well!
DeleteWell done to all the winners and although some might not feel the same; I actually enjoyed the SAMA's!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I also thought the event was eXecuted well especially after the disappointment I received at the SAFTA's this year
DeleteThe event was well executed this year, it trully shows how much planning and organisation effort was put in.
