All MYXed Up
Tomorrow's the awarding! Will we win? Will we prevail?
Honestly, I don't really care. Haha! Truth is, Christian's career will continue to prosper whether he wins or not. Cool lang naman na manalo sya sa 1st Myx Music Awards, especially since Myx is the most dominant music channel in the country. Winning Myx however will not give a distinct advantage to the artist him/herself. Why? Kasi dinaan sa voting at hindi sa juror's decision. Kung baga, all quantity but little to no quality.
Why do I say this? Well for one, we really have no idea how the nominees for the categories were selected. Tulad na lang ni Ian, he's nominated for only one category while his contemporaries are nominated for more than one. Ang weird kaya na he's not nominated for mellow music... eh hello, kung mas magiging mellow pa yung kanta nya, baka sa best lullaby na sya manalo.
Another thing is the voting process in itself. I apologize to the organizers of myx, but i just don't find the voting process credible. Ok na sana yung ginawa nila na once a day lang ang voting kung tipong lahat ng tao dito sa pinas eh naka-line ang cellphone. But, hello! In a prepaid country like ours where SIM cards are a dime a dozen, it would be so easy to acquire those SIMs for voting. And that's exactly what happened. Fans of the artists nominated bought a huge number of SIM cards just to be able to vote more. But that doesn't quantify the actual number of that artist's following, rather, it is simply a showcase of who can pay more.
Tapos yun pang updates, highly suspicious. There was this one time that the 1AM update had higher numbers than the 2AM and 3 AM updates. How can that be? May right minus wrong ba dito? Di ba dapat progressive ang stats at hindi ganun kalakas mag fluctuate? Tapos may times pa na some artists, at around 2-3AM eh nakakukuha ng roughly 200 votes. Aba! ang dami na palang insomniac sa pinas! Baka naman sabihin na marami lang sim yung isa o dalawang fan at ibinuhos ang voting nila at that time. That can happen. But not in an hour's time. Yun ngang 20 sims lang ang gamit mo, it will take you around 30-45 minutes na just taking the sim in and out of the phone plus waiting for the confirmation text. So how is it possible to have 200 delivered just like that?
Siguro the problem is that this is Myx's first awards. Siyempre, marami pang flaws at kinks yung system. Pero sana lang, mas maging transparent pa sila sa kanilang voting process. Tsaka, the results shouldn't rely entirely on the text votes. I would think it would be better if it was 50-50 juror's votes and text votes. Yun lang naman.
But don't get me wrong, I still hope Christian would win. Sayang naman kasi lahat ng efforts natin if he doesn't. Plus, pwedeng kantsawan si ian na manlibre kung mananalo sya. Bwahahahaha!
