TWEEPS REACT REACT TO ‘ISBANI‘
@Hamashe:
“This song barely had 35k views on YouTube at midnight on New Year. “
“A song of the year is a song of the masses, you might like it or not like it but you always know it. ”
“That song is at over 200k views right now on YouTube but at midnight it was at 35k People who think this is an organic win are honestly just gullible. ”
“That thing has voting doping written all over it. Are you really the people’s champ of you buy votes? “
DysonMurwira:
“Couldn’t agree more. A song can’t be popular on radio and be virtually unknown on YouTube. “
“People go there to watch videos of songs they’ve heard on the radio.”
“An annual song should make waves on radio and YouTube. It’s still the same audience, just different mediums. ”
@ndaba_komkhulu:
“She played at the Nkandla picnic last week at a time when brands don’t wanna be associated with Jacob Zuma so RET/Zuma supporters voted. “
“Sthembiso Mngoma also mobilised his hundreds of followers to vote and we voted for her in support of Sthe and JZ.”
@Sino_Ziqubu:
“Khozi FM needs to change their voting criteria as they are seriously losing credibility.”
“Maybe the people’s votes can count 50% and the rest must come from sales/streams from major digital platforms, YouTube views, and airplay. This is a joke now.”
