South Africa sweeps 7 awards at 2010 Channel O Music Video Awards

South African group, Teargas won the most coveted award of the year, Most Gifted Video of the Year with their Party 101 video


The 2010 Channel O Music Video Awards came off Thursday at the Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa as winners of the 14 categories were announced.

Sadly Ghanaian contenders who had five nominations in this year's awards left the show with nothing.

Dancehall artiste, Samini was nominated in the Most Gifted Ragga Dancehall Video category with his Sweet Mistake video.

The other four nominees were Jon Germain in the Most Gifted RNB with In My Head, D-Black & Kwaku-T in the Most Gifted Hip Hop Video with Breathe, Becca ft Samini for Fire (Remix) and J-Town for his Guns & Roses all in the Most Gifted West Video.

Nigerian artistes, P-Square, D'Banj, Naeto C and 2Face were some of the big winners of the night bringing to the fore questions of whether the awards were fair or Ghana is just not doing enough when it comes to music making and its marketing.

South Africa was the biggest winner on the night bagging seven of the 14 awards at stake.

Below is a detailed list of winners at the awards:
Most Gifted Video of the Year - Party 101 by Teargas (South Africa)

Most Gifted Female - If You Want Me by Mo'Cheddah (Nigeria)
