you guys i mean judges comen men last year menas suposed to number one but insted you give prize to arafat , and this year 11 &12 winer you put merem she must ne second, but wedi keren he was the ster shame on you guys .every year Kunama. thats weired. i think it is polotics, becare full youel gd.
Even thouth I don't understand Kunama language, to me Merem was excellent #1.
I have critism on the lighiting system Could been A lot better.
kkkkkkkkkkkk
wow those judges.
Just because there r few kunama singers doesn't mean u have to put them the first place,
those all great singers could been the first ones.
this is not racial competition or helping out the least ones. it is who has the best voice.
PLEASE STOP PUTTING POLETICS IN SHINGRWA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ):
the warst thing is to make a confision between politics and art. our gus can not deferenciat. they dont respect their profesion. no ETHICS at all. you sell your etics. this is not seats for assembly or leadership!!!!! you are cheap. art should not be judged by political point of view. in this case this is the end of Eritrean music. you have made awefull dammage to Eritrean music. A national resources, political leadership… must destribute equally to all nationals. Infact special attention must be done to those neglected, or remote areas, and minority. But Art is ART. our juges are not MATURE ENOUGH to understand this principle!! And ''thank you'' for darkening our respected EASTER holiday.

what is wrong with EDEN TEKESTE??? ABRAHAM HAILE??? NOUR the Afar singer?? what ????? can anyone answer? I am sure the so called juges dont have answer!! internally the have the answer. but they dont the have the guts to say it. you juges will suffer by consience. your consience will itch you for ever.
one final pleag. look for another profesion. dont dilute the etics of art, dont hurm Eritrean music.

GEGA AB RI'SI GEGA. it is on the back of our mind what they have done to FRESELAM. when freselam proved himself, SEBA SETINA (literally we drink milk as our sying in tigrigna). and they are enjoying freselams songs, which they try to destroy him. 2ndly MINAS. and now EDEN's turn.

I thought Meriam Shawush did very well so did Eden Tekeste, as for the second place the right candidate was picked. Although I did not follow the whole program from the start, but at the end they may have picked up the right person, except for Eden.
shingrwa nay behakiy kabtiy des elniy zketatelo eyu gn abza nay hjiy wuddr ztegeberet kem ane hewan first star yohannes second Eden third meriam kkonu nerwom ybl .
Wedi kerin you rock! plus the Judges were sistematic this time. I would like to see Yemane kidane back.
Wedi kerin, You ROCK ! You have the passion and you are way better than some of the so called Singers.
