JAY SEAN ALL THE WAY!!!!!

December 22, 2007 10:32 PST

agreed piyush. i'm voting for swami. there are so many people that have done amazing stuff tho (jay isnt one of them). see the thing is jay is a completely unoriginal artist. everything he does has been done before and better a million times. swami, mia, bohemia....all these ppl are original.

December 22, 2007 04:02 PST

he hasnt done shit in the mainstream lol..and as some1 pointed above, he isint the 1st to do so either so..... swami broke the mainstream with desi rock BIG time, bohemia has had a collabo with snoop, M.I.A has collaborated with SUPAPRODUCER timbaland and had a number 1 electronica album on billboard. Jay sean hasnt gone close to doing any of the above this year and as the award says...'artist of the year 2007' :)

December 22, 2007 02:33 PST

jay sean's like breaking into mainstream so give him some credit and i don't see how thara became desi.nothing personaly against her but seriously?..

December 21, 2007 18:36 PST

sean shah....if jay sean wins this years desi artist of the year the only thing itll prove is how ignorant most of the listiners are. you can drool over him when he releases MORE stuff but please think again before voting for an individal who has had TWO SONGS released this year lol

December 21, 2007 14:23 PST

PAKMAN? Swammi i Vote for swami too

December 21, 2007 14:03 PST

i vote 4 swami!!!!

December 21, 2007 13:40 PST

I just done hearing PAKMAN, that Soniye songs rocks.. havent herd someone doing dome real desi rap before.

December 21, 2007 11:42 PST

I herd of Pakman. he's not baad at all for singing or rapping in punjabi.. He sure dont look Desi at all. he looks more like a mexican. But i vote for him , i think he's Cute..

December 21, 2007 11:41 PST

Who is this PAKMAN? never herd of him before , is he on desi hits? i still thnk Kidd- Silly should be it.

December 21, 2007 11:27 PST

YEAH BOYEE!! I think PAKMAN should be the #1 Desi Global Artist, he was the only one bringing and pushing desi hiphop.. then all these cats came up, but he still bangs.. i think he should be the one.

December 20, 2007 17:26 PST

i seriously fink desi hits shud be Sukhshinder Shinda or Jazzy B :S... thats pure desi... M.I.A sucks!!! Jay Sean ? he dnt even give any desi? Swami?? naaaa with just hey hey and eletric jugni he deserves to win?? what have jazzy b and sukhshinder shinda serve?? i think they deserve the vote!! think rasionally!

December 20, 2007 15:51 PST

its all about swami without a doubt!

December 19, 2007 22:51 PST

i think u forgot to read this part: Kala was TOP OF THE BILLBOARD electronica charts for 16 weeks only being pushed down to no 2 by daft punk last week. M.I.A is by far the most acomplished desi artist out there. I never said Jay isint a good artist, all im saying is he doesnt deserve artist of the year for 07 cuz theres been much better acts this year. o8 might aswel be the year for jay but skill is doing bigger better things than jay at the moment. and all along, ive been talking about 2007 not 2005 or 2006 when stolen or dance with you were released. he gets due credit where he deserves, its other artists who dont lol

December 19, 2007 18:59 PST

lmao steph lets compare jay sean : TWO SONG OUT THIS YEAR. murder was average, ride is OK. relies on his looks more than his skills in alive act. good word for it is 'thanda' swami : FULL ALBUM which has been DOPE, got sik reviews from the asian community as wel as the mainstream. BEST LIVE ACT in the desi scene, HANDS DOWN. I guess their music isint HARD enough, GRIME ENUF.. M.I.A: Kala was TOP OF THE BILLBOARD electronica charts for 16 weeks only being pushed down to no 2 by daft punk last week. HEr album is different, talks about REAL issues, not like jay sean, talking about how he wants get into a chics pants and what not. i aint no jay sean hater, i just hate the bias towards him for some unknown reason when there is obviously much better music which deserves more credit. Someone says he was the 1st artist to go main stream? WHAT? what major international charts did he make it on? what major radio station did he get airplay on? WHEN JAY can hold a no1 lbum on billboard for 16 weeks straight, ill vote for him. For the meanwhile, he aint got shit on other desi artists :)

December 19, 2007 16:02 PST

george bush doesnt care about black people and jay sean doesnt care about desis!!! lets vote for someone who has done something groundbreaking and positive for desis this year... lets say skilly for representin desis mainstream! skillllys got my vote!

December 19, 2007 13:24 PST

OK I think it has to be Swami or Jay sean, Anyway Jay deserves this for Ride it alone - lets get behind Jay and facebook/myspace this to get votes for Jay!!!! i'm sending it out to all my friends because he can realistically take the global VOTE!!! who else??? Jay's fan club will get behind this and he will win as he has the most global votes

December 19, 2007 09:00 PST
