Mood: Bad
Music of the Moment: Wala



No words can describe how I felt after watching the so called first ever Myx Music Awards. Shocked, is truly an understatement.

First, Christian Bautista losing to Erik Santos in the Best Male Artist category was simply out of this world. I mean, no offense to Erik's fans but certainly Christian is the hottest male artist of the moment. Actually, he has been for quite sometime now. Simply put, among the young male artists of today, no one is as popular as he is, nor as successful.

Christian was way ahead of the competition a couple of weeks prior to the closing of the votes. For a while, he was the only one among all nominees in ALL categories to have reached the  million mark. Certainly that speaks of the kind of fan base he has. Now, for some apparent reason, Erik came from behind and won the award. I don't know with you guys, but that's just strange. Are we supposed to believe that Christian's fans slept and doze off during the final stages and stopped voting?

Second, why the hell was Rivermaya not nominated in the Best Group category? I don't get it. If they were nominated, no doubt they would have trounced the opposition. Is that the reason why they were snubbed, because it would have been really difficult to put the... uhurm.... clearly favored Cueshe ahead of theme without music fans raising an uproar?

Rivermaya won both categories for which they were nominated. Convincingly, I must say. Now, how can the "Best Video" winner not be nominated for Best Group? Isn't MYX after all, all about music videos?

What's their criteria for Best Group? Number of hits? Rivermaya has that covered.- "Liwanag sa Dilim, You'll Be Safe Here, Posible, Makaaasa Ka. "
Appearances? Gigs? Duh... I saw the Rivermaya gig sched at their website and it made me wonder if they get any rest at all.  

And, seriously, how can a group that wasn't even nominated for Best Video, be the Best Group? And the Best Video winner not be nominated for Best Group? Weird eh?

Shouldn't all the nominees for the most important award of the night, which is Best Video, be automatically nominated in their respective genre or division (ie... Male or Female Artist, Group)?

Third, how in the world can Rachelle Anne Go win over Sarah Geronimo? Just how?

Fourth, what's up with the categories Best Remake and Best Appearance? So silly, really.
