Naija people can be polite as well as arrogant simultaneously.

Wow. It actually sounds much better live than the recorded version. And to think that this was her network debut. Its much, much better than all those lip-syncing pop starsĀ  cool

Because she doesn't sing about bootay, abi?
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by semid4lyfe(m): 1:39am On Feb 08, 2010
Does Asa sing about bootay?
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by spikedcylinder: 11:35am On Feb 08, 2010
I don't like her music. She's like an amateur that's trying way too hard.
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by semid4lyfe(m): 11:55am On Feb 08, 2010
@ Spikey
Take five for that comment.
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by riversman: 5:04pm On Feb 08, 2010
Can yall please stop hating? Is it because she is not the "regular dark skinned" yoruba gal, Please she sings better than ASA and her appeal is much stronger for a world audience.

Saw ASA in seattle, borring and most of the audience was smoking and drinking beer, it was a small venue too

goin to see Nneka in Chicago, for my neighbor to ask me about her, am like wow!!! my neighbor is an old jewish lady, she watched letterman and bought the cd 3days ago, trust she is gonna sell well.

its 2010 bitches, NIGER DELTA rules

That is the appeal in her style. You are not in touch with her rhythm at all.

First, she'll need rhythm that I can then get in touch with.
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by riversman: 9:32pm On Feb 08, 2010
@aloy-emeka - i meant for racist my jewish neighbor to have an interest in a black musician with german roots, her voice definitely struck a chord in d womans yansh, lol, NNEKA is really gud, i luv it when nigerians of mixed races identify with the culture in naija, cos most folks i kno in yankee will never claim naija roots when thier skin tones reveal it all, grin grin grin grin, like how oluchi doesnt say she is nigerian anymore, gurl please!!!! she is claimin italian cos she married an italo, NA SO LIFE be
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by Nobody: 11:20pm On Feb 08, 2010
hey haters cool it down. I dont like her though but i give her credit for what she has done. To appear on David Letterman show is just like coming on Oprah or Jay leno. At least she is growing and people like her style.
I think the topic starter was actually calling out for u haters.
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by spikedcylinder: 12:22am On Feb 09, 2010
'Haters' - the most over used word on NL. undecided

Not true; It's tribalism.
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by shotster50(m): 7:45am On Feb 09, 2010
Nneka is big outside of Nigeria in case you' all dont know. She has toured with some big time musicians including Lenny Kravitz.
Re: Nneka Appears On D Letterman by riversman: 10:23am On Feb 09, 2010
she also toured in naija, but most nigerian promoters wont book an artist that is political conscious and doesnt care to sell SEX like d'banj and co,

She performed at smaller venues in Lagos and Abuja early last yr, She is on a US tour with sold out performances, compared to Asa or otha naija acts with a messy US tour,

BTW - Majek Fashek was also on Letterman 2yrs ago, Americans appreciate gud music not junk like yahoozee or "gbono feli feli"
