mwen renmen a l'envers a mort, I probably will vote for them. Cangrats to Richi and Gracia.
now sim tap vote apres yon bon calcul,I will go with Timafi.
Timafi is a special song. The lyrics is far from what were already talking in the HMI. Timafi se yon aspect nan societe Haitienne nan moun yo pa touche du tout, le yap parle de misere, de grangou, de pays kap mal dirige, de moun ki a lenvers yo pa janm sonje touche aspect timafi, I guess David li menm li tap garde nan longue vue et bien li vini ak Koze Tmafi a.
bagay timafi a se yon bagay kouran en haiti, ou pa besoin al kay gro manman, lapiscina etcc,.... pou ou trouvel ou ka menm trouvel sou chanmas, devan lekol,nan station yo etc...years ago I went to Haiti with the organization HOPE on a aids campaign ,guys se tande poun tap tande istwa jeune fille that's why I think Timafi has a big impact on people that you guys dont even think about, people who's far from being in your prayers.
best songs goes to krezi with Tmafi(vote)
then I will go with jistis (se yon bagay tout moun besoin)

MY BAD. Thanks XXPLOSIVE.

OLIVIER DURET's vote for SONG OF THE YEAR went to A LANVERS of RICHIE/GRACIA. Typo on my part. KREZI's vote total in THAT CATEGORY should read 10 votes.

Thanks

KM!
