I find the nominees odd! Especially the category of Reggae Artiste of the year! What??
Female entertainer of the year. WHAT?
The criteria for the nominees must be wierd.
Good luck to all the nominees! Keep up the good music!

Im really curious to know how the enties above were selected for nomination though. No disrespect to any of the hard working individuals who’ve put in time an tremendous effort but how can you have Answar Gaskiin nominated for Writer of the Year yet none of his equally deserving efforts have been nominated in the varying categories?? “Nothing Sweeter” is perhaps the sweetest ragga-soca track out for 2008 Cropover…especially compared to those in the “New Artist of the Year” category and when will we FINALLY acknowledge the sweet music Miss TC has consistantly blessed us with over the years?? “I Just Wanna Dance” wasn’t on any CD that i’m aware of but could run circles round alot of the other songs for the season so i hope that something is done to give credit where it is definately overdue…c’mon people, wake up and start looking past “the names” and focus on the MUSIC!!!

I live in Toronto and truth be told…i can barely sing the National Anthem in French let alone write a song that would be of any use. If they refuse to acknowledge a newcomer with a sweet song for the season, they aren’t likely to give my raspy voice any airtime on the nation’s hottest station that only seems to play reggae ALL DAMN ASS DAY anyhow!! But seriously speaking though…all i can do is focus on the good works put forth by those deserving of play on my weekly internet show and filter out what i dont deem necessary to play, im not trying to change the world babes, i jus want good music to get recognition!!

Who comes up with the criteria to be nominated for the BMA’s? In the reggae section there are only 3 nominations as opposed to 5 in most of the other sections, how come? Did they run out of reggae artists in Barbados? As far as I recall the only Barbadian reggae artist to crack the Cross Caribbean Top 30 (number 17) this year (or ever actually) is RED STAR LION. RED STAR performed at reggae on the hill and opened countless reggae shows including Queen Ifrica and Junior Kelly among others. I can only guess it’s personal…
