Prior 2 that day, it had been just responsorial psalms in church, solos or stuff like that
The BS about that performance wasn't that it was my 1st time, but that I wasn't prepared.

It was a duet wit my bro - a real pushy kind of bro - and we wanted it 2 be a short medley, u know, flex voice a little, exhibit modern melisma and all

O boy, we don reach there, mic no good 2 start with and we didnt rehearse remember -
freestyle.
Ok

We started with "Silent Night" but like unlike we  plan'd, we didnt get 2 do anotha one. We flex flex flex, modulate modulate soteeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
mic spoil, scatter our voice wey we don already wear out with keyz that were inaccessible 2 our voices.

Bottom line, we messed up. And 2 think of say my bro attracted a lot of his friends (some of them real good singers) 2 watch us - chai!

The very next day, I had 2 leave school - I just travelled home 2 hide my big head a while.
And tho there were later nice encounters on the stage, man, the 1st still tastes bitter.

Tell me about urs abeg

Men
To start with, I'm 14.
There was this impromptu thing, and one way or the other, through some circumstances I can't explain, the lots fell on me. I had to go upstage and sing.
I wasn't prepared one bit. I knew the song, quite alright (Gallery - Mario Vasquez) but there were no instrumentals, and all that. My name had already been called when I went to meet the music guy and we quickly hooked up something, then I went on stage to sing. Remember, I don't have a great voice, just there.
I sang, and then, I didn't go off key, I know how to control my voice (trust me). But, the beat was wack, and then towards the end, the guy inserted Yahooze. I felt like dropping the mic, but I'm a school prefect, and that would be the last thing to do.
Mild applause. It was a really big problem to go to my seat from the stage. And I'm a really talkey (understand?) person, I talk a lot on stage, do debates, even make other people's announcements for them, and it's no problem facing a crowd. But after singing, words can't describe how I felt.

Tayo

O Boy! And going by ur age, it must have felt real terrible.

Anybody here ever done "wack 1st rap" on stage? I can't wait 2 hear
