| Had a soft spot for this gal! Her story seemed so similar to mine. She was 23 and I will be 23 next year. I see the signs!! |
This project fame season makes sense o! Maybe it is because I just started watching again. I stopped watching because of a personal beef. They gave me a 'no' twice and I genuinely thought I was good. One particular judge in Lagos told me "Come back next year" after like 12 seconds of singing. She told the person by her side "Se on korin abi kini?". My Yoruba peeps will understand. I can't translate directly but it meant that she thought I was terrible. In my mind I'm just like she doesn't get Soul music. I mean who doesn't FEEL Etta James?
I have shaa learnt my lesson and decided to sing a genre that people accept or a song that was known. My Ibadan audition was better. The judge was nicer even though he said I sounded like a baby. I was 18 at the time and was a firm fairytale believer so don't judge me. I sang Demi Lovato's This is real or is it This is me? I forget. Anyhoo you get why he said that.
So how did we get there? Ehen... Project fame don dey make sense o. I am genuinely impressed and trust me when I say I am hard to please. The voices stand out from the norm. I knew West Africans were talented but I honestly didn't expect much...lol. After watching the top 18, I was wowed. They are amazing!! Did I mention I was impressed?
In fact ehn... I'm so motivated to rehearse and train my voice now. My music muse needs to be awakened mayne!! I'm not promising o, but I will try and link YouTube videos of me singing to this blog. Won't that be cool? Don't expect much and the camera quality may be bad so... just ignore that ehn?? So let's see how it goes.
In other compeltely unrelated and possibly unimportant news, I start internship tomorrow in an event's company. It is called Eventful founded by Yewande Zaccheaus. I'm Sooo excited!!! Okay I aff finish my talk talk. Now to hear from you.
