Tiwa Savage Sounded Like A Two-Year-Old Being Dragged Out Of A Toy Store In ‘We Are The World’ – Etcetera Posted: 08 Aug 2015 02:30 AM PDT Critic, Etcetera has written a lengthy article on what he thinks about the African version of Micheal Jackson’s ‘We Are The World’. According to him, the song is a waste of time and total rubbish. “Well, I think I’m finally safe to write this article, since I’ve set up my e-mail software to automatically filter out any messages containing swear words. Sincerely, I don’t know if there’s any song that made me change the TV station faster than this one. If I didn’t, I’d have been doomed to have a group of adults with hideous and unsync voices chanting,“we are the children” over and over in my head for the next six months. And that certainly isn’t all that’s wrong with the song. Michael Jackson would probably be spitting and cursing in his grave right now, like a pregnant woman with whitlow on her ten fingers and toes. What the heck were they thinking changing his beautifully composed piece of art to the most insipid crap ever written?   I’m going to tell you this for free; don’t listen to We Are The World by African all stars unless you’re trying to get a bone out of your throat. That is only when the song would be useful.   We know that African music isn’t made up of the best singers anymore, but honestly, how did they think that they could fill up a seven-minute song with nothing but monotonous chanting of the same feeble chorus over and over again? The humorous highlight of the song is Kcee’s ridiculous line “There’s a choice we making, we saving our own lives.” Never has the word (saving our own lives) meant so opposite. And the only choice that could have been made by the organisers was not to have included Kcee in the song. He was even off key for Christ sake. Kcee, your hilarious accent is to be commended. Luckily I could warn the rest of you who haven’t listened. Kcee is the first reason this is the most repulsive rendition of this song ever. There were other worse vocals like Sean Tizzle’s, but Tiwa Savage sounded like a two- year- old being dragged out of a toy store. She should know when to keep the vibrato off her voice. And For a minute I thought Banky W was going to faint. Whoever chose the key to this song should have been reminded that most Nigerian singers are all about auto-tune and can’t hold their notes.   Jesus Christ, what is happening to music? This is easily the worst combination of voices in human history. Only the most despicable revisionist historian could possibly claim that this song is anything close to good. It’s nothing more than a hideous irritation festival from the individual who sold the idea to the sponsors.   While writing this article, someone suggested that maybe vocals wasn’t the criterion for selecting the artistes. REALLY? Are you kidding me? Then they should have gone for the kill. Artquake should have been in there somewhere, Or perhaps even Daddy Showkey. A number of you are probably thinking “hey, come on, I kinda like that song.” Of course, every lover of today’s Nigerian music will surely like the song. This is the musical equivalent of Agege bread: it’s meant to be packed with so much artificial crap that it’s bound to appeal in some way to Nigerians.   No matter how musically credible you are, no matter how much cutting-edge indigenous songs you listen to, whether you snore in baritone in your sleep or not, this song is a shame. It is the kind of rendition that makes today’s Nigerian music uncool. If you have listened to it, the fact that the singers were trying too hard to sound like the original version should have made you turn off your TV in disgust. If you haven’t, download it right now. I dare you to try to make it through the first 10 seconds. It is the ultimate endurance test.   If you’d care to suggest another song for me to review, you can always feel free to do so by e-mailing me at mail@etceteralive.com. If you’re the guy who e-mailed me about being a Wizkid fan, for the love of God, get some help.

My Husband Rubs My Aches And Pains Away – Stephanie Linus + More Photos From Her Genevieve Magazine Shoot Posted: 07 Aug 2015 10:30 AM PDT Stephanie Linus whowas recently unveiled as the cover star for Genevieve Magazine’s August 2015 issue talks about her new reality TV show ‘Make Me Fabulous’, her newly released movie ‘Dry’ and also talks extensively about her journey to being a mum for the first time. Excerpts from the interview below: On keeping her pregnancy a secret: You just don’t say anything. Your family and friends know, but you stay at home and don’t go anywhere. People have been trying to get me to come out but I keep telling them I’m on bed rest. I didn’t want people talking about it until I was ready to announce it. On finding the right time to get pregnant: Waiting this long to have a baby is a personal choice and God ultimately decides. You have to be ready mentally and physically. I had a lot of films that I was shooting and I was travelling a lot too. My movie is out now, and I cannot even promote it across Africa like I wanted to do because I am stuck in one place. Its also God’s timing. Neither my husband nor I were pressured. I feel this is the right time for it to happen. Right after we got married, I was on set shooting. But this year was different. It’s the perfect year for me to get pregnant. On adjusting to her new body: This pregnancy has been wonderful, and I’m adjusting really well. I’m grateful to my baby because I don’t have any major stress. Apart from the few aches and pains, I feel great. Thankfully my husband rubs the aches and pains away. I have literally turned him into a rubbing machine. I’m watching the changes though, especially the nose. I’m begging it not to grow bigger than it is. It’s been wonderful for me. I just cant wait. It’s more of an anticipation to see the end of the journey and what the baby would look like. On being a first time mum: At this stage, I’m preparing my mind. Pregnancy differs from person to person. How the books even tell you your body would react is different from the way your body does react. It’s the first time for both of us and we are excited to explore everything. It is going to be a collaborative effort. Thankfully, my husband is very hands-on, very involved. He is going to be the one feeding the baby while I sleep. I’ll pump out the milk and he can feed. He’s probably going to laugh when he reads this. I think it will be a wonderful experience for us as a couple to bond. We will do it together.
