*QUOTES (Some Quotes from our panel members)

+RICHIE: "Obsede. The year's best remix to me."

+PAPA JUBE: "SONG OF THE YEAR FOR ME WAS "OBSEDE" BY HARMONIK< I mean Harmonik deserves lots of props for their soulful sounds, that song is hot and they are a hot group with lots of cross over appeal."

+ELIE LAPOINTE: "I cant vote for POLICE because I wrote the melody that Arly and Nia are singing so the song of the year is "OBSEDE" according to the publics response of course, not that i'm personally crazy about it!

+REGINALD FOS BARON FESTIVAL: "OBSEDE got my vote
Although Harmonik made a huge mistake by not releasing a video for this song."

+ROBERTO MARTINO: "Barikad Nou doubt...Everywhere you go this song is being played, Mizik la popule nan tout ran social!"

+FABRICE ROUZIER: "My pick OBSEDE by Harmonik. It's simply better than everything else on the list. A distant second would be Shabba's track "La Police".

+ MIA LOPEZ: "NU LOOK "LEGACY" – The fact that it has been on the top of charts consistently for more than a year, and still has an affect on everyone in the room when its played at a bal shows that it has to remain up there as the song of the year."

+ MICKY WALKER (Rafrechi): "This one is hard but I have to give it to Harmonik (b). Everytime they play this song the women go crazy. Great job guys."

Although obsede is a nice song, but i think " LEGACY" is another story, in my humble opinion
But, that was a very good year for harmonik! I hope they continue like that in 2010
Congrats to harmonik one more time and konpa direk devan

Congrats to Harmonick. That song is doing well in Haiti and in the US. It's their HIT. My personal choice would be Toup Pou Yo, even though it was a carnival song but they play it all year long, it's like a national anthem in Haiti....

This year was an easy one.


OBSEDE Definitely deserves it.

OU FOU POU LI Could have been if it got the right exposure.

Even though legacy is a great song... it didnt make the noise that obsede did.

TOUP Pou yo is a good song but i wouldnt pick it simply because it didnt crossover into the diaspora.

At first, I was against Obsede being voted KM's song of the year. When you really think it, it's well-deserved for HMK.

Congrats Obsede/MacD/Harmonik! Very Happy
