Chanchit:


Nigerian John Legend singer and renowned horse rider 9ice – says he has no problems with criticism from fans who slammed him for losing his voice.

Speaking in a recent TV interview, the faded music star blamed his loss of voice on the absence of “good music equipment” in Nigeria.

He said:

Get it right; in 2008, 2009 and 2010, imagine someone screaming for three years, how e no go lose him voice?

Most of our productions are not good and most of our speakers are not good. Hear me, I am not saying the DJs or the sound managers are not good. But the equipment we have (in Nigeria) are not good.

So imagine me (singing) on top of my voice for three years. How I no go lose my voice?

In 2008, I was maybe 28 or 29 and now I am 35 years old. So I would definitely lose my voice and now I am a more mature person. So criticism based on those aspects, I am sure they are right. But you have to take me as I am.

9ice also talked about why he chose to venture into politics.

Start searching for ur career because dat music Wey u dey song all these years Na one chance

None of this new generation so called singers in nigeria has a good voice anyway, they are all using voice machine, thats why they all sound the same

u spewin wah. U dnt knw

Only three of "screaming" gongo aso, u loose ur voice, what of those musicians like Sunny Ade, Sir Shina Peter, Ebenezer Obey that have been "screaming" even before I was born and are still doing their thing today?

Bad equipment? This guy funny die.

Your voice the reason you lost your primaries election

AUSVINS:
Wetin come make you loose election?

Some musicians don't do voice training. It's very important. I don't know if we have professional voice trainers in 9ja.

As angelic as Whitney Houston's voice was, she still did voice training. Virtually all Opera singers do it. Even some actors do it.

I still love your voice, it is just like the baritone of late Orlando Owoh.

Shoroniyen?

That's a useless reason for losing his voice. Does this guy think all Nigerians are dumb? Most Nigerians may be st*upid but not all.

In fact, bad musical equipment will make you sing better because you'll work harder to make the bad equipment unnoticable with your voice!

Some musicians do lose their voices temporarily due to one reason or the other, while few lose theirs indefinitely.

Nice, if yours is indefinite, go look for another job.

Its weed ooo. But this guys voice must be very bad that auto tune couldn't help him like it has been helping davido.

9ice that's not an excuse o. If una stop to dey fa poli early enuf u won't loose d voice like dat. If u complain abt getin older wat shud d likes of Sunny Ade, Obey n co do? because these men has been singing since my dad youthful age till now dat am getin older too. Why didnt they lost it ? STOP MAKING EXCUSES MAKE PROGRESS

Dude has been hanging around too many politicians

Some people voice are fragile. Like me if I shout sing for thirty minute in a alto range I lose my voice.

slimyem:
Lol.he must have been high during this interview.

Voice wey nor dey before plus his weed smoking didn't make it better.

The only thing he had going for him was his deep lyrics . I miss him though...

Deep Lyrics is and always will be the hallmark of a good musician. 9nice is nice!

milychocs:



I like John Legend
But I prefer 9ice's songs to John Legend's...and I am not even trying to be cute
I do...100%
His songs draw at my heartstrings
True Story
I am surprised people dont like him this thread

I love his music very much

I wanted to say something harsh towards u but I won't coz its wat u like. I hate 9ice songs so much that, the minute I hear it anywhere I start having headache. compare 9ice to ppl like Anogri, OJB, Raski Mono and don't insult music plzzzzzzzz

Thought he said music is no more challenging?
Now is bad instrument. Haba! Talk one naa

9ice, you no try for this thing wey you talk o. KSA never lose voice, Obey still dey sing, Oliver de coque sing till he pai, Barry wonder voice no die leave am, even Shina omo Peteru still dey sing till now. Adewale Ayuba still has a good voice, Omo rapala still dey, Pasuma still dey sing. All these people wey I list, na "hello tue tue" equipment dem take start. Why you wey use "check one, two" equipment go come dey blame equipment for loss of voice? Even Dan Maraya wey no dey use mic sef no lose voice. I have always said that it is better to just keep quiet if one is not sure of what to say.
