Bati and bluse is the second best in my perspective.My great admiration goes to the directo Nebiyu Simergeta and the Superstars Tadele and Fantu.The lady really got “wef argafiw dimts ” .Her splendid voice, the background rhythm of the music together with Tadel’s act make the show astonshing ( abo mode allachehu!!).What a woderful show by the whole team!!!

Thank you.

Elias;

As far as I know, more than half of the chosen music videaos are belonging to 2007.

Only # 10, #7, #4 and #3 belong to 2008.

Cheers

Thanks Elias(Ethiopian Review) for everything you do. I agree with many other people who commented on the videos.This year there have been lots of videos which can easily beat some of your top 10 vids.Let’s not forget Kemer Yesuf(I don’t know how to spell his name)And Gossaye n Efrem vid should have been at least number 2.

You guys made a marbles job about the selection of top 10 music.I agree 80 percet the choise you guys made because it did not base on the ethnic group only.This make every one feel happy and united as one nation. I do love the 2 Amharic music.In my opinon, the # 4 and 8 should not be this catagory.There are other tereffic songs better than those.This how i feel i am not crisaze you guys.
Thank you.
God bless Ethiopia and U.S.A.

some of the compliments made were valid esp. the representation of all ethnic groups. Let’s celebrate our diversity and be inclusive of all our people not for political reasons but for appreciation of our vibrant and diverse culture. That is what makes us strong and can help us fight our common enemy – POVERTY.

Teddy Afro said what needed to be said.Luckily he don’t need Woyane financially to exist.The rest of us will starve to death if we said half of the things he said or the truth about Woyane.As we all know some countries like USA gives hundreds of thousands of dollars to Woyane every year.So I urge diaspora people in the NAME OF THE POOR AND THE AFFLICTED honest Ethiopian children please don’t pay taxes in the USA because it is your tax dollar that is buying guns to woyane and geting your mother and brother raped and father killed.Whole country destroyed.Also please Tell your local Government not to give money to Woyane.

Nice choice,i love them all!!

However some of them were released in 2007.Video 1,2,5,8,9 were made before 2008. ER,just becuase you guys saw these clips in ’08 does not mean they were released in this year.

Eyetesetwale!!

I just like to say that this is a marvelous job, collecting and presenting them in such a fashion. For the guy with the oromo comment, I think you are ignorant and narrrow minded like the woyane government. Lastly, Free Teddy Afro!

Elias, you have a good taste in music even though some of those videos are made much earlier than 2008. You also left out a lot of other good MUSIC

I used to “not like” Tadele. I used to think that he is one of the persons who is spoiling our music, that he does not original creativity, and that he is a bad model to our sons and daughters. With the above music he won my heart. Who is the other guy who usually sings with him? – Berehanu – he is “gulbea”; he does not know how to sing.

Nice videos. Good work. I have to mention that in your choice No. 4, you get the singer’s name worng. The singer who sings along Tadele Roba is not Fantu Mandoye and I don’t see Fantu Mandoye anywhere in the clip. Also I only see Zeritu on stage moveing here and there in your choice No. 8. It shouldn’t be included in the list.

Thanks

There are a variety of music videos available on the Internet. Each visitor can listen to and watch one of these music videos without any restrictions. Each time a visitor clicks on a particular song, a counter pertaining to this specific song, will be updated. By doing so the counter shows, at a particular moment, how often a particular song has been played. The “Top 10″ lists only the 10 most popular songs played by the majority of web users.
So it has nothing to do with the ethnic background of the songs.

To #1:
Just relax, come down and don’t be jelous man. It is true that Amharic is the national language of Ethiopia and is being spoken by more than 50% of the people. So, it doesnot mean that every one singing in Amharic is Amhara. Any way Ethnocenteric thinking is not good except for the woyanne regime.
I don’t mind whether the ER editorial people understand Amharic more than other languages, but what matters is their attitude towards the whole nation.
