VODAFONE GHANA MUSIC AWARDS (VGMA)

Take 3,2,1 and its show and guffs time at the 13th annual VGMA at the DOME inside accra, Ghana. Unarguably one of the best events in Ghana, the VGMA kicked off with so much anticipation and as usual tv ratings peaked to its highest level ever since the origin of the event.  Lets detail the event under 1.REDCARPET/FASHION love first kicked in the air as fans were intrigued to see the Ayigbe Edem and Confidence Haugen reunion on the redcarpet which pretty much did set the whole redcarpet feeling into motion. Hence this reunion eventually overshadowed Haugen's blasting of the Queens language and also her inability yo handle the interviews. This year’s redcarpet was more of a mixtape relaese as people braced the event with a mix bag of fashion, glamour, swag and the almighty Azonto fused in one. We also saw big guffs of inexperienced and comical presenters who half of the time did not know what they doing.

Also songwriter and singer Becca showed her long sexy legs and a touch of dressing elegance which i must admit got me salivating. The media 'triathlon' funnyface was also there instyle and lived up to his showbiz name as well. Let just say this year’s Awards was another display of the finest fashion and stars clamored to wear the latest as we will expect them to. 2.PERFORMANCES Wasn't really there in person but sources say it was not the best. Performances was a total mess which included the Artist of the year Sarkodie, songwriter and singer Efya and others. I guess it still hasn't sunk into the ears of show organisers to at least have a rehearsal before showtime. Other guffs include programme schedule and MCing. People paid good money for the show but did not get one. 3.AWARDS like every single year it gets 'tippy tappy'with some allocated awards but since we did not organize the event hence we have to agree to whatever is presented.
