Drama......everyday, all day in my home country Naija. And that's what we deliver for your entertainment and information on this blog.

If you are a follower of Naija music, you will know most of the music artistes depend so much on the producer/mixing engineer to make them sound good. All you need to do is go to a show headlined by some of the major celebs and you will see lip syncing and off key shouting at its worst. Yet my people pay in the thousands and millions to attend such mediocre shows. Gospel artistes tend to be more professional at their shows and with better voices though.

Why we are so blinded to this unprofessional act and rip off from naija artistes is a gist for another day. Today, i present to you top 5 Nigerian artistes that can only lip sync at shows or make noise on top of the played studio production.

1. Kcee- If you don't believe me, go and hear him in the african artistes version of "we are the world". From okpekete to limpopo and hakuna matata , Kcee seems to have discovered a pattern for naming his songs which attracts the average music lover. And of course, he has money to pay the best producers for a voice lift. Hearing him live on stage however is another "matata".

2. Mo cheddah- This lady sings through her nose and from her throat. She sounds flat even with all the studio effects and very fond of singing in low keys which i believe works for her. Mo cheddah would do a lot better with voice training from the likes of Naomi classik.

3. Davido- This one is either drunk, shouting or jumping from rod to pole at his shows. A good composer if he is the one that writes his songs but the voice just does not cut when performing live.

4. Dbanj- After leaving his protector and producer Don Jazzy, Dbanj's musical flaws became more obvious. His only recent success since "Oliver Twist" is the song with Akon called "Feeling the nigger". This song was made more interesting because of Akon's inputs. And what the heck is "the nigga dey paya paya". Dbanj also does more of shouting on the music than singing on key at his shows. His embarrassing outing at the nations cup a few years back is available on youtube if you don't believe me. We were feeling the nigger until he went offfffff key....o ga o. However, Dbanj makes up for what he does not have in the voice with dance and entertainment on stage.

5. D Prince- He is brother to one of the most talented producers that liveth. The way Don Jazzy transforms even the worst of voices on his production is simply amazing. D prince's songs are more of a show of auto tunes than talent. He is the last on our list and i simply look forward to hearing an impressive live performance from the goody bag man.

totally agree with no 3

Number 3 and 5

Yet, this brand of music has come to stay in Nigeria despite its innumerable shortfalls.
