Barely two weeks after the 2005 Ghana Music Awards (GMA), which many entertainment fans believed was well organized, a section of music fans and connoisseurs alike have expressed dissatisfaction over some of the award winners.
According to the music fans who spoke to Chronicle On Saturday in separate interviews, two names, Kwaku Gyasi and Dada K. D. which could not win awards with their hit songs, ‘Ayeyi’ and ‘Se Dea Me Penoa Ni’ came as a shock to them.
The fans argued that as far as they were concerned, Kwaku Gyasi deserved to have won the New Gospel Artiste of the Year award, judging from the kind of airplay his song ‘Ayeyi’ received on both radio and television stations across the length and breadth of the country.
Kwaku Gyasi had as well, the opportunity to perform at big entertainment shows, including being the only gospel artiste to have performed at the Spacefon’s Nite of the Legend, which awarded Bariama Azumah Nelson and Abrantie Amakye Dede.
Kwaku Gyasi’s ‘Ayeyi’ became a household and at almost every social programme, including birthday parties, engagements, weddings, church activities, name them, the hit song was heard.
Information gathered from reliable sources also proved that the song enjoyed, of course, big sales across the length and breadth of the country and beyond.
On the other hand, the fans noted that the kind of publicity Kwaku Gyasi received in the media was far above that of Lady Prempeh, who won the New Gospel Artiste of the Year award.
The music fans raised concerns also over the inability of Dada K. D. to pick up the Contemporary Highlife Song of? the Year with his hit track and infact, the album had very good songs, which music fans really enjoyed.
Airplay was fantastic and the songs were played wherever one finds himself, whether at weddings, engagements, name them.
It is the hope of these fans that the GMA organizers would continue to do their best so that people would have very little to complain about their subsequent programmes.
