Following her clinching just one award at the just concluded Vodafone
Ghana Music Awards, gospel music act, Joyce Blessing, has faulted the process,
saying she deserved to have won more than one awards.
Joyce Blessing had about six nominations in the awards, and was said to
have had her hope high, assuring herself of winning not less than three awards.
However, she was soon disappointed when her name was announced as the winner in just one category, the Gospel Album of the Year which was presented to her at the Industry Awards a week to the main event.
The management of Joyce Blessing, Mr. Kwasi Ernest and C.E.O of Media
Excel, said the awards were based on sentiments so as not to get many musicians
offended.
“It is just like a mother who has too many children and is making sure
everybody is happy. The credibility of the Ghana Music Awards keeps going down
as the year goes by. After they had denied OJ of the Song Writer of the year
award, they had no option than to share the awards among O.J and Joyce
Blessing,” he said.
“We were hopeful that our artiste Joyce Blessing would win not less
than three awards on the night but we were denied for no reason. Our artiste
Joyce was supposed to have won the Gospel Album of the Year and the Gospel Song
of the year because she had no contender with these two categories including
the Female Vocal Performer of the Year award. Ghana needs to sit down and do
things right for our next generation to emulate,” Kwasi Ernest added.
