I think is a high time to recognise the power/the giant of gospel music in our country. Khanyisa Sabuka deserve the award. Her music is always annointed ,please let us give a chance to get the crown.
October 1st, 2010 at 4:51 pm
Khanyisa Sabuka is the right person to be recognised for her contribution in gospel music and in the body of Christ as a whole.
October 7th, 2010 at 10:50 am
DR Rebecca Malope must realy be nominated this time around she deserve every gospel award, and her latest album UZOHAMBA NAMI is the greatest bt my track 02 and 07 are my favourite. i went for the first SABC CROWN GOSPEL MUSIC AWARDS jst bcoz bokuno Rebecca i sacrifised overspending mu money jst to go and watch the queen of gospel receiving her very own awards.

October 28th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I think Abanqobi should take the Best Classic of all times, they realy minister the word of God and if you haven’t listened to their new CD or any of their music u are missing out. Their music is pure and uplifting. They are truly the be best accapella group
October 28th, 2010 at 3:53 pm
I would like to play with “let the best win”. Really for best praise, it must be Thabile Myeni if she can be able to beat the sizzling hot Thobekile Mkhwanazi! She is sooooo bingo!!! Best praise song, O thembekile Jesu and Jesu oyanginakekela. She really deserves it. Oh, yeah the prince of Gospel is back with vigorous force…go Lundi! No doubt Rebz will still be the queen, coz Debz’s Uthando dasnt come any close to beating My hero. God bless Africa.
