Ifa Baba, you dey vex o.

@ Topic,

God bless poster. Amen!

Ain't you guyz missing something?
How about the noise they make on stage. The "hey yo hey yo" and "Mr D.J, "(10ce) sounds they make. And then bouncing round the stage with their home boyz or back ups (who make more noise into the mic) , trousers placed on knees.
Mr D. J finally finds the C.D, Artiste screams into mic ( crowd screams too);
Artiste losses voice on second line, and then uses scope to jump into the crowd in order to avoid singing into the mic,
At this point, i just tune off my T.V and make use of my DVD. Ish,

an artiste that cant perform live is not worth my 2 cents. if u in the NY area and want to enjoy some free live music this summer, e.g. femi kuti, asa, king sunny ade. let me know i'll give u the info on date and venue. you can thank me afterwards

Permit me to add the 'wave ur hands in the air' stunt.

And some poor but gullible folks would wave those hands until they become sore and stiff.

Okay, I think I would like to state here that as much as a lot rests on the artiste to give a brilliant performance, most organizers of shows are also guilty. You find that they just dont put in anything into preparations. What with their crappy stages, horrble sound, poor lightning, zero creativity. . . all they are interested in is making money!  
So, as much as the onus lies on the artiste to make the best of a bad situation (or at least not make it worse), those organizers need to get their acts right!

PS. I've seen some MI shows and I have to commend him for not joinin the group of losers (lip-synchers). I dont kno about his stage presence though, but I notice he always has his instrumentals playing (and in some cases, plus the vocals of the featured artistes). Also he has mixes of his songs, which is a good thing. Not sayin he's perfect, but in this area, big ups to him!

You are off topic. Abuja - Nope. Nigeria - Yes. Why?
