    I AM THE GOGO QUEEN. I PARTY SUNDAY THRU SUNDAY I HAVE SEEN ALOT OF BANDS BUT IT IS ONE PARTICULAR BAND THAT STANDS OUT TO ME AND THAT IS SUTTLE THOUGHTS. THEY SOOTH THE SOUL AND RIGHT NOW WITH THE TIME THAT WE ARE LIVING IN YOU COULD NOT ASK FOR ANYTHING BETTER. AFTER A LONG CHAOTIC DAY AT WORK YOU NEED SOMETHING TO SETTLE YOUR MIND AND SUTTLE THOUHTS IS IT. THE AMBIANCE IS GREAT. YOU MUST BE MATURE AND GROWN AND SEXY………

    This awards is a complete joke. I see people just doing what they want to do with little or no caring for the bands out here really putting in work. Categories-Joke Nominations-Joke..No wonder James Funk has never attended one. This is embarassing.

    I’m trying to figure out why I’m not on this Committee. I have to be one of the biggest critics in the Go-Go Community. I like that ya’ll made the selection based on the last year(So ya’ll can’t be mad that Buggs(Junkyard) isn’t nominated for lead talker award).
    Lemme break these categories down…..

    Band of the year award?
    Thumbs up to the committee on your selections. I agree on your selections.

    Upcoming Band of the year?
    I have a few issues. First, I manage the #1 band in Va(Mature Clientele Band) and we’re not on this category(Shameless plug). But, the committee has 7 bounce beat bands, and 1 grown and sexy band. Ya’ll need to separate the bounce beat bands and the grown and sexy. There are too many bands out there. Ya’ll should be doing all you can to get all go-go bands as much exposure that the Go-Go awards can bring.

    Here’s my selection…
    Bounce Beat Upcoming Bands…
    XIB, ABM, New Impressionz, TOB, Renegade, SMG, UEB, Faze 2

    Grown & Cranking Upcoming Bands…
    Bela Dona, Mature Clientele, Firm Project, All 4 U, Fayez U Know, Dynasty Band, Da Mixx Band, Obession Band

    Venues of the year…
    I’m cool with these selections…. I wish that CFE could have been added. (Honorable Mentions…LePearl, Wow Wingery)

    Promoter of the Year..
    Once again, I’m cool with these selections… My only gripe is that Crucial Entertainment(Buck) and Bono Entertainment isn’t on this list. (Honorable Mentions… SE Productions, Big L Ent)

    Male Singer of the Year…
    Ok, this where I have problems… Mike Thomas and Mike Thompson are one and the same… But, ya’ll gotta add Shorty Corleone(Rare Essence), Ericky(TCB), Kalil(Facey u Know)

    Female Singer of the Year…
    Where’s Michelle Blackwell… C’mon GoGo committee..

    Manager of the Year
    Dumb ass category…. Band of the year and manager of the year goes hand in hand. Let’s drop this category and add a “COMEBACK BAND OF THE YEAR AWARD”

    NorthEast Groovers, Raw Image, Trouble Funk, Junkyard, Essence Legends, OP Tribe, Pure Elegance(Let’s promote and hype the Go-Go industry)

    Bounce Beat Band Awards needs to be renamed the TCB Award..
    TCB are the kings of the bounce beat. TCB are gonna win this award. So, take them off this list, and give the other bands opportunity. TCB have already proven themselves…

    At but not least “Song of the Year”
    What in the world are ya’ll thinking…First, let’s rename this “Groove of the year”… Being a DJ, like to replace a few of these.. TCB song should be “Bust it wide open”, Reaction’s song should be “Gucci Bandana”, Backyards song should be “I got your man/Tshirt), Rare Essence should be “Your lookin luvable”, What Band, UCB, and Scooby joint are cool.

    Thanks for the attempt to keep this awards event alive but it is flawed – I am not getting the sense that the “committee” is in touch with gogo at all – where is the real recognition of the new talent – are you just pulling names from the hats of years gone by or what – can’t this city do at least one thing that is not politically motivated – we have now tainted gogo with that maddness – come on!

    Wkys is the peoples station .. and this is the best time to listen to the people .. and really the Gogo heads that take gogo more serious then just “dance music” …. we appreciate the effort for a gogo awards .. but why is it never the right awards or categories?? why arent the people who live and breathe this genre asked ?? people like my self who could give a pure unbiased and honest assessment of the year in gogo and reward the right people and keep the popular masses satisfied …. Im GoGo JeSuz .. i have lived and breathed gogo over 20 years …. trust me .. i could git this right with no complaints …www.youtube.com/gogojesuz

    what happened to bands like Faze 2,gameova,ueb,bwa,renegade. Like they been puting in work since day one and they have a big fan base. second of all new action should not even be in the gogo awards at what so ever. they are not even close to being known yet…like really. gogo is officially “DEAD” because of the 2009 gogo awards selections.

    OH! WOW! IM not exactly sure what criteria there was for what bands got a chance to be on the Ballot! But I dont even think there is really a reason to vote. There was so many bands left in the dark that its really not any competetion. I think it is very clear that not too much gogo research was used when the ballots where created. I have argued with myself over and over again wondering what happened to Bands that have very large fan bases and quality like FAZE 2, GameOVA, CCB, and even Renegade. I am praying that there was a LOTTERY that determined the bands on the ballots. AS a new generation/old skool gogo fan im am truely upset and heartbroken. I am a recent college grad who still even in South Beach, Miami manages to listen to my favorite bands and when i can fly in get to go to shows. TOTALLY not voting and if your do othen your already know that there isn’t any competetion!!
