___________________________________________________________
*PART 1 is a short resume from us about what went down
*PART 2 shows you the number of votes + WHO voted for them on the 55 Member panel.
*PART 3 are some of the QUOTES from members of our panel FOR THAT CATEGORY.
___________________________________________________________
The award goes to BELO
ANALYSIS:
*Everyone with no exception said that this category was the toughest to vote for, simply because they had so many good choices. However, when we tallied the votes, the results did not reflect what the panel said in terms of tough. It was NOT close at all as BELO overwhelmingly took the honors. Congratulations to BELO, KOMPA MAGAZINE's ARTIST OF THE YEAR for 2007 as voted by the 55 Member panel.

*QUOTES (Some Quotes from our panel members)
+TI JOE ZENNY: "His CD, his RFO win + I also think after Wyclef, no one besides Belo has sold Haiti around the world more. BELO is my artist of the year for 2007."
+FABRICE ROUZIER: "Artist of the year is again a tough category. Belo and Tifane both took our culture to new fronts and new audiences this year and so did T-Vice but I think Ritchie scored big on many fronts in 2007 and i would give it to him."
+MIA LOPEZ: "I honestly think BelO is the artist of the year - since November of last year he's been up and down throughout the world playing a role as Ambassador to Haitian music and to our culture - his music transcends into a whole different realm.. Like Common who does CONCIOUS RAP - BelO does CONCIOUS COMPAS and I hope that this encourages other artists to follow and realize that Compas Direct is not the only music that our roots are good for, we can also be successful creating MUSIC with a point, a message."
+JENSEN DESROSIERS: "BELO has what it takes to be a major star in the business and around the world."
+RORO IRENE/NU LOOK: "BELO brought something new to the market + the fact that he went over there to win the RFO award trophy is big. BELO is my artist of the year for 2007"
+DJ REY: "BELO, in terms of his impact this year, no one comes close to deserving the artist of the year award in my opinion."
+FRERO HANGOUT: "My vote went to TIFANE. She just might be a new Emeline Michel on the way."
+KENSY: "My vote goes for SHABBA for his musical effort and what he did this year outside of Djakout."
+KATALOG: "His RFO win is all that is needed for him to get the artist of the yaer award from me."
+RALPH CONDE: "His originality and his RFO win sealed it for me."
+ALAN CAVE: "TIFANE is my pick. Her voice is amazing inside and out."
+PIPO: GRACIA DELVA gets my vote for having the courage to keep doing what he did in 2007, despite the fact that he is in a situation where he can't come to the States. He still has lots of impact."
+FRITZ BONHEUR: "GRACIA DELVA is my pick. More gigs than anyone in the hmi for the year."
