In an all not too surprising a move, The Keongomaniac revised last year's Keongomaniac Songs of the Year, first revealed in the 3rd Keongomania Awards held early this year. The original list includes an unprecendeted 15 songs being named Keongomaniac Songs of the Year, a stark contrast when compared to only 3 Songs of the Year in 2007. .
In essence, the changes include the removing of 5 songs from the coveted list, leaving it with a standardised 10. While they are of no particular order, the numbers reflects the approximate chronology of its local radio release.
.
Songs that were removed:
- Disenchanted - My Chemical Romance
- Piece of Me - Britney Spears, Princess of Pop (Haz Wayne's World)
- 4 Minutes - Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake
- American Boy - Estelle feat. Kanye West
- Make It Mine - Jason Mraz
4 Minutes however was slatted as a Special Mention for Keongomaniac Songs of the Year. A Special Mention is not a full-fledged Keongomaniac Recognition ("of-the-year" award), but a somewhat subdued version (thus cannot earn the Blue Border, but a recognition nonetheless). The other 2 Special Mentions remain unchanged. Back in 2007, Elliot Yamin's Wait For You was the only Special Mention in the Songs Category.
The Keongomaniac is notoriously known to make changes to priorly-published awards and recognitions. This however is the first revision made to the results of the latest 3rd Keongomania Awards.
.
With these revisions at the Songs Category, Leona Lewis remains thus as the only singer to have 2 of her songs (Bleeding Love and Better In Time) as Keongomaniac Songs of the Year. Jason Mraz, who originally have 2 songs as well (I'm Yours and Make It Mine) is now only left with one. Indonesian band ST12's PUSPA remains as the Non-English Song of the Year, and Mariah Carey, Queen of the Music Arena (Haz Wayne's World), also retains the most prestigious recognition of Keongomaniac Overall Song of the Year with I'll Be Lovin' You Long Time.
