Accolade Awards descent first attempt

There will always be those haters out there, regardless of how good an event was executed. The Guyana Accolade Awards was a brilliant first attempt in my opinion, this award show will surely give incentives for present artists and aspiring performers in Guyana.

Like all events in Guyana the show began almost an hour after its scheduled start time. The cultural center was moderately filled considering the original ticket prices, who can blame people for staying at home to look at it on TV (for free).

Nigel Hughes and former Miss Guyana Universe Miss Odessa Phillips (with her new found accent, which made Nigel sounds as though he brawling some creole english) were the emcees for the evening. The decor on stage looked good and the show opener was a dance to " Walking on Sunshine" performed by the National School of Dance, I was impressed.

Zareena Ali and Delma Lynch performed along with crazy Charmaine Blackman ( who never ceases to amaze me) and Celeste David (I admit she can sing and I love her to death but she was a hot mess last night in her cheap hooker dress)

The performances of the night were good, the best of the evening in my opinion was Ruth Osman and Trevor John with a Jazz rendition. It was simply brilliant that was a true representation of Guyanese talent at its best. Is why she ain't win no award, Ruth made all the other singers look like joke last night.

They had performances by Eddie Neblett, Rajesh Dubraj, Alabama, First Born, Anaconda to name a few, followed by Adrian and Jomo who closed off the show. I wonder why they ain't allow miss sunshine Timeka to sing her own song ........ even the event coordinator/party planner didn't want to take that risk and allow her to sing live... ha ha

The big winners of the evening were X2 (Adrian and Jomo) and First Born, Lawd only knows why blasted Guyana Times got Timeka on the front page, she only won two awards compared to others who won 4 and 5 last night. Guyana Times displaying face-ism and prejudice right there, just because she cuter than First Born them ... Guyana Times should be ashamed of themselves (lame attempt at selling papers).
