I thought about yesterday when I saw Kidjo in the category. Somehow, I am sensing the recent critiquing of Burna's album by the Guardian might help him.

Kidjo is the strongest player in the category, no doubt and Burna pulling an upset is likely but the chances are slim.

Meanwhile...

AKA will be somewhere, hoping and praying Burna doesn't win.

Look at her, fully clothed.

Half of Lagos can accurately describe Tiwa's private part and she still doesn't have anything.

I like Angelique Kidjo. She's a legend but she never really use her platform to help Africa. France pushed her to the world because she's never against our oppressors. She's getting all the appointment from UNESCO, UN and Co because she's not standing tall against their injustice.

I think she's going to win it.

Angelique's tribute to Cuban singer Celia Cruz was released on April 19, 2019. It is produced by David Donatien and featured Tony Allen ,
Meshell Ndegeocello and the Gangbe Brass Band . The Guardian has called the album "magnificent" [20] and The Financial Times gave it 5 stars.

Are people serious? She's like the Miriam Makeba of our times, from Bénin. I've been listening to her music since Ayé (1994). You don't remember hearing Agolo or Wombo Lombo? I used to rock this back in the day.

Between Angelique and Burna, this is going to be a stiff competition, because though Angelique is the giant in this arena, with multiple wins, Burna brought his A-game to his album.

After reading comments, I was forced to go do My findings on who Angelique Kidjo is n I'm so sorry to say this... If I'm to vote for anyone between Burna Boy and Angelique Kidjo, I'll vote for that Beninese Witch Songstress over and over again

We know she is his biggest threat, but what is the point of winning, if the competition is weak?

Burna Boy is the new age of African music, and possibly the youngest Nigerian act from Nigeria to get a nomination this century. He did it without being snuck into an international artiste's album or song. This is his original work and just being a Grammy nominee will boost his CV.

I doubt Angelique won it at her first go anyway
gbam, guy u hit the hammer on the head when u said he got the nomination based on his original work, not some half arsed featuring of a foreign artist.

I meant mushin to Mo hits album I think the guy is just riding on his Afrobeats wave and shine not like his African giant album his extraordinary abeg but I know it’s very good I don’t think it’s actually worthy of Grammy win the only thing i know helped his album more is the conscious music he included and he was smart enough to feature alternative artistes like kidjo and Damien Marley not necessarily commercial or buzzing artistes who brought a different flavor to the album
