MAY ‘MAGIC’ NA NAGANAP SA AWIT AWARDS 2019?

Ginanap ang 32nd Awit Awards sa New Frontier Theater noon pang October 10.

Biggest winner si Moira dela Torre na nagwagi ng Music Video of the Year, Album of the Year, and Song of the Year.

Several days have passed, pero eto’t may kabuntot na intriga ang bale equivalent ng Grammy Awards dito sa ‘Pinas.

Ang kontrobersya ay konektado sa online voting system nito. Kahit kasi tapos na ang online voting ay patuloy pa rin na tumanggap ang sistema ng mga boto na siyang inalmahan ng fans.

Matapos lumabas ang proof of discrepancy (screenshot) ng isang fan na kinumpara ang October 8 results at October 10 results, nag-issue ang Awit Awards organizers ng statement of apology hinggil sa nangyaring anomalya.

“We are currently looking into these allegations and are awaiting the explanation of (provider) Zed Philippines regarding this matter,” pahayag ng Awit Awards organizers sa Instagram.

Tila tuloy pa rin ang ta­gisan (in more ways than one) sa pagitan nina Juan Karlos at Darren Espanto.

Bukod sa Favorite Male Artist at Best Rock/Alternative Recording, napanalunan din ni JK ang Best Performance by a Male Recording Artist for the song “Buwan,” beating Espanto’s “Poison.”
