Okay, okay. I felt bad about not living up to my end of the bargain with posting the nominees for the Chachi Music Awards. Well, since I just watched the end of the Carolina Panthers/New York Giants and now Atlanta has not only made the playoffs but have a chance to WIN THE DIVISION…I had to do it. I am now finished (Although open to suggestions) with the nominees and here they are! Now take a look at the…

NaNa looks to make it happen again! She was nominated for several awards after a strong end of 2007 but it carried over to 2008 and she racks up a few more nods! It is still Kanye and T.I. looking to battle it out with Hyori and Rain as the hip hop vs. K-Pop battle continues. Look out for Young Jeezy, he dominated the CMVA’s and that could carry over!
Well, that is all for now. I am about to grab a drink to celebrate the hard work of the Atlanta Falcons and hopefully be sober by the time I have to catch the bus to go to work tomorrow. Stay tuned to the Chachi Music Awards! The date the winners will be announced is January 25th 2009 and up until then I will be taking requests for any changes! Until then, stay up peeps!
Chachi Out!
