Babaearly, cool down small ASA is good but that one no mean say mk u bobo us say she popular for Europe, ah ah
how much airplay does she have ob BEN TV, AIT INT'L, OBE TV, PASSION TV, VOICE OF AFRICA RADIO OR BROADMIX TV,

This is most deff not an opinion, it's a fallacy
and that's the only of your views I disputed, not the part where you said D-banj could win a grammy

My99cents is that, I'm not saying Asa will win a grammy, but right now she's the closest naija will get to that level. . .
she's our most 'worldwide-accepted' export since Afro-beat

If u need to, here's a list of her concerts, I just got one for for a niner

His swagger unbeatable, his confidence amiable, his braggadocio- to the high heavens,  thats the man Eedris Abdul Kareem.
, but before u make a comment about me not talking about  his talent,  yes that dude is talented, may i remind you that in his hay days he jumped on many a stage and rocked world standard concerts thrilling audiences and critics like myself.

Oh my freaking dayz, first of all Eedris of all the gazzillion naija musicians
And which part of the world do they dish out grammy's for swagger, erm how many grammy's does Lil-Wayne have
Besides since when did they start giving grammy's for selling concert tickets
Bruv, I have to admit that I'm totally dissapointed in that post. . .
Check the Grammy website, they honor artistic achievement, technical proficiency and overall excellence in the recording industry, without regard to album sales or chart position.

Now tell me which of them Eedris songs has any of those. . . BTW, for which of the categories? abi grammy dey for best jumper?

About the BBC reviews, let me give you an example of how critical the BBC is

Life is truly different now; Jay has gone all corporate, holidays in St. Topaz, good credit, a few years of 'retirement'.Is it any suprise then that the need to lyrically impress isn't so high on his agenda?Don’t get me wrong, of course he still has the charisma and brilliant wordplay, but, on many of the tracks here, he just sounds uninterested

.
This is an album that got a grammy nomination they're talking about.

BTW Asa has countless good reviews from everywhere, Virgin, Classic and many others. . .
But for her to get such good reviews from BBC, Telegraph and even a 'not so encouragin' one from The Guardian, says a lot about her talent.
Some British artistes don't even get reviews in top bodies like that.
if it's Schlocharmann, why didn't JJC or African China get them reviews? Gimme a break
By the way does she do reviews for Guardian, Metro, Vigin and the rest of 'em?
Ohh, now the BBC will put it's integrity at stake and give a good review, the same one that is respected by mainstream artistes?

And about selling at Mega Stores
Ola Onabule, TY Bello and other talented artistes abroad have had one major problem, they haven't been able to break away from the BME(i.e the Black and minority ethnic) entertainment
That's exactly what Asa has suceeded in doing, and she has sold it to the white folks
so who gives an eff if AIT doesn't play your song when you get airtime on top UK radio stations, and being approached by MTV, to be music Ambassador to Africa?
I'm so proud of her even if she doesn't command home attention like Femi Kuti
White folks here are feeling her and buying her stuff, I'm now proudly nigerian, not naija(If u know what I mean)

Everybody knows that bling is old
but the ice in my teeth keeps my liqour cold

See what the UK's best critics thinks about Asa

As the music industry scrambles to churn out Amy Winehouse clones like Duffy and Adele, Asa seems like a distinctive new voice
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/arts/main.jhtml?xml=/arts/2008/02/18/bmasa118.xml  The Telegraph- UK Review:

This Nigerian singer-songwriter might actually be a twenty-first century Bob Marley, bringing together the best of Western and African music in a funky fusion that opens hearts and minds and paves the way for deeper understanding. However, she is currently being approached by MTV to take the role of 'ambassador for Africa', which would seem to go hand-in-hand with her stated aim ''to show the world that something beautiful and positive can come out of the black continent
http://www.bbc.co.uk/music/release/68p2/

www.ukmix.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=1170484 - 88k  She's Twenty-sixth on this chart

Although there’s a lot of this kind of music - this blend of soul, funk, and folk with electronic sensibilities, with hints of world music - around at the moment, we are fortunately a long way from being mired in it. Asa’s eponymous debut
http://www.virginmedia.com/music/reviews/albumreviews/asa-asa.php Virgin Media Review. . .Note the four stars

Asa (pronounced Asha) is a 25 year old Nigerian guitarist/songstress with an amazing smoky smooth voice (a bit like Macy Gray or Erykah Badu) and a folk/soul/jazz style akin to Tracy Chapman, India.Arie, Norah Jones, or even Lauryn Hill on her MTv Unplugged disc. . .These songs are awesome; words alone cannot do justice to them. I haven't been this excited about music in a bit. Asa is definitely going to go places, and I urge everyone to go get this CD, you'll definitely be in awe.

how much airplay does she have ob BEN TV, AIT INT'L, OBE TV, PASSION TV, VOICE OF AFRICA RADIO OR BROADMIX TV,

This post was either borne of outright hate or just ignorance
For goodness sake, we should be happy that a nigerian artiste rose to this level

BEN TV, AIT INT'L, OBE TV, PASSION TV, VOICE OF AFRICA RADIO OR BROADMIX TV

is that how you judge popularity in Europe, she's getting airplay on top radio stations(even BBC), and u're talking bout AIT
for goodness sake SHE SELLS AT HMV, ASDA, and everytop store not nigerian corner shops. . .abeg what part of London do you stay?at least even if your on freeview you woulda seen her advert on ITV

Nigerian policemen, see what u're missing
if u guys were efficient with response, who knows, u coulda gotten a free fling

lol, she'll miss me

Wish u could be more creative with u signature

ermm, skn

ermm. . .i dunno what it is ohh

NEPA can put off the light in a whole street

Ehen, free internet, but that's what's makin u post six at a time. . .abeg i'll stick to the library

@Bara
Guy u dey eff up oh
Come, the way you dey missyarn self, person go think say you pass p-square
release your thingy and let's see first
naija peeps are obviously not feeling yo shit

I went to get the psquare's version and it's totally different from your ish
your's wasn't even as tite as thiers
wtf bruv, and seriously u don't want to diss moi, you heard sumn bout stones and market before?

@tkb and jackal
I think I'm going with Fergie on this one
Brown should not be here fighting for a larger pay package, rather he should be thinking of how to get more years on the contract
He should chase a five year contract and settle with the low pay instead.
For a player like that to have won everything winnable in English football, he really owes Man Utd
For goodness sake, that dude can't hold anything down in a club that doesn't have Ferdinand-class defender
And everyone knows that the major reason for him making the National team is because he plays for a Big-four team



Now it's obvious what happens when a Big Four team has a Jew that doesn't have 'GCSE Football-Gaffering'
The big players of the team are asking him why he went ahead to make the team selection himself
they said he should have told their ghost-manager Ten-Cate to make the team selection as he used to do it ever since



And now on a truely lighter note

Can y'all believe that Joe Cole comes from a family of gatecrashers
Imagine the chelski winger's cousin running into the pitch to take a picture with Spurds winning team
the worst part of all these was that 'he did it for his father'
