To be very honest, Sheyi Shay was very harsh on that guy, but we also cannot deny the fact that the guy sang rubbish on that show... FTC on a Monday morning.

What's a Seyi Shay?

Sorry don't know what that is

you try

Only God knows what would have been the the fate of the likes of Terry G, Zlatan Ibile and Davido if they had to audition before Seyi Shay to attain stardom.

Ok

Set awọn dream killers.


Anybody can make it anywhere, if they set their minds to it and realize what is best for them.

How much did u make?

Set awon nay sayers

Think she meant something else.
There is money in music if your songs and genre are cool enough to fans

Mheen!

Lol,heart breaking,I hate when someone told me I can’t do something,

Seyi Shey : Quote : You have a good singing voice, but your performance is terrible.
(She should have simply stopped here), the below is not necessary at all.
'You are never going to make money as a singer."
'
We know some musicians with terrible voice that are making money singing, and we see some bus conductors with sweet sonorous voices shouting oshodi, oshodi, oshodi from morning to night.
This life na God and your destiny abeg.

(Haba! )

ONLY God knows the future.'

These talent hunt judges should mind their speech when they are sitting on that seat.
Some of them are just too brutal with words.
And not everyone have thick skins like yours truly.
Some will go back home crying for weeks and seeing themselves as failures, only few will see that stumbling block as a ladder to greater heights.


Ion,

Lol.... which kind talk be this one

Party yaf SCATTER... And someone will be at home lying to the guy that he's better than Lionel Richie...

I'm surprised this apprentice in the music industry is made judge in a talent hunt like the 9ja idol.


Well to me she just did that boy a huge favour with what she said to him. One record label would assist him.

like her I guess

is it.
she is right, the guy won't make money being a singer but rather artist, a performing artist at that.
the so called judge I've never heard a track of her, only her mention here on nairaland like its being done now.

Who is seyi Shay is she an actress

Wrong.

I thought our generation has learnt a bit. But the glamour, the hype, social media et al, keeps deceiving us!

I want to believe it's all scripted. The acts of the judges in that show is just to generate some heat, and more interest in show, etc.

Seyi is a good singer and an authority in her field of singing. BUT SHE CANNOT (I think we should remember that) PREDICT WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW.

The next set of people that will shake this world, are presently struggling. Presently failing. Presently been judged that they are silly!

Life!

Ask the show host IK. Same experience some 20 or 25 years ago. The "judge" of he "will never make it as an anchor or broadcaster" is still alive today.

Won't say more.

By the way, great show. Very entertaining and hilarious!

Insensitive Why do some people set themselves up for insults? Or does she think there won’t be any backlash for making such comments. Even if the bloke is a bad singer, there are better ways to say what she intends to say.

Is she God?

I totally agree with you....The best comment so far.....

Eyah.

The future is female

That's too bad of you madam seyi. You did not just insult the boy but you also killed his moral.
There is good news though. Seyi is not God and will never be. The boy should take it as a challenge and prove her wrong as I implore great Naija artistes like phyno , flavour, Burna boy, Davido etc to please step into this case and mentor the boy

Nigerian ladies and wickedness. They are never considerate of other people's emotion when making their selfish decisions. They will go about forming innocent but not knowing that they have broken so many hearts unknowingly with their selfishness and inconsiderate lifestyle, lack of empathy. Just look at how she murdered the little boy's confidence in life. Same way they murder the confidence of innocent guys who approach them for a simple date without empathy





And look at her twisting her tongue twah twah to form Americana who can speak English more than Queen Elizabeth, what happened to speaking like a Nigerian just as Indian/Chinese/Arab women speak even though they have lived in US or UK for decades Foolish girl
