For the Gospel artiste of the Year category, we have Sonnie Badu, Nicholas Omane Acheampong, OJ, Joyce Blessing and Patience Nyarko. Within the year under review, all these artistes deserve the nomination and come MAY 3RD, the winner will be declared.
Going through the Artiste of the Year category, we have Castro, Kwabena Kwabena, Sonnie Badu, Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, Samini and Guru. Quite obviously, Sonnie Badu is the only gospel artiste who has been nominated in the Artiste of the Year category even though many people are of the belief that O.J deserves to be nominated in the Artiste of the Year category.
Without any doubt, I don't see the possibility of Sonnie Badu winning the Artiste of the Year against the likes of Castro, Kwabena Kwabena, Shatta Wale, Sarkodie, Samini and Guru. In my opinion, Shatta Wale, Samini and Guru stand the greatest chance of winning that category.
Having in mind the nominees for both the Gospel artiste of the Year and Artiste of the Year categories, the general observation is that technically, Sonnie Badu stands the greatest chance of winning Gospel Artiste of the Year all things being equal. However, so far as the public votes will be considered, the possibility of Sonnie Badu winning is not so certain.
The Gospel Artiste of the Year category is one category that would be keenly contested for. Any of the nominees stands the chance of winning. Each nominee then needs to work hard by encouraging the public to vote in their favour. With so much controversy already generated with the nomination of Sonny Badu in this year's VGMA, is it likely to affect his chances of winning the award as Gospel Artiste of the award? The VGMA Board is also yet to meet to decide on ''Wonder God''. Time will definitely tell. By Elvis R Baidoo
