I was on TLK blog and saw his poston his fave female singers and decided to do mine, He stuck to ten but its impossible for me to do so, even this list I have here is not enough. I was exposed to alot of music growing up fromTina Turner,Sidney Lauper, Onyeka Owenu, I could on forever. These are songs that will last forever. I sneaked a group in to the the list, TLC, how can I leave them out. I love brandy,Monica and Aaliyah too. There are new acts everyday, that are winning my heart, Asa, Nigeria's soulful artist is just the boom! Can't wait for her album to be released.
Tuface is one of Nigeria's foremost artiste and I love him! Read more about him HERE.
I love his story, the humble beginnings from one of the best male vocal group in Nigeria, Plantation Boiz. I loved them, they young, fresh and unique. I was one of people that was really upset about the their breakup, even though they are back in the studio together now, but just for an album, not as a group.
After the breakup,2face, stood out! He shone like a true star, his looks, his voice and the his songs. His first solo album, Face to face was one of the hottest album of the year 2005. Everyone single song in that album was good,every single one.
Early this year, he released another album, grass to grace, it was also another hit, every song was good,lyrics, beat, rhythm. I fell in love with artist.
But I do I have a lil problem with the 2 daddy, 2 problems actually.
Problem 1: His diction, Have you seen a television interview with Tuface?
Its really sad, please let no one say diction don't matter, it sure does. Especially has a Nigerian International artiste, your diction is really important, not jaw breaking vocabulary but simple basic grammar, not the regular YES O! YES O! he adds before,in the middle and the end of every sentence. With no disrespect to Fuji artistes,even Fuji artistes are working on their diction on the daily, so why not tuface?
His label Kennis Music, do they not see a need to brush up their artiste? A popular radio presenter on one of the local radio stations in Nigeria, once mentioned it and all hell went loose!
Oga kenny will not have any of it, clearly it had to be some bad belle for the ariste.
I am wondering can't Mr.Ogungbe hear him, can the whole world be crazy and Mr. Ogungbe sane?
I would have assumed that he will get Tuface a private tutor to help with his grammar.
Has his grammar improved? No.
2nd problem with Tu daddy, is his videos, the best so far in my opinion is his African queen video,very simple could have been better, but I like the idea.
Last week, my brother bought the Video CD of Tuface with great anticipation, only for us to have our hopes dashed. The videos were just not it,I cannot find any other word to describe how I felt when I watched the videos. I expected better, he is exposed now, worked with foreign directors and even shot the video outside Nigeria(These are not factors determining a good video).
So what happened?
Do his mangers not realise the power of a good video, he won an award at MTV Europe in 2005 , does that not indicate he steps up his game? I cannot emphasise the need for a good song and even a much better video. Why is it taking Tubaba so long to get this? Did he not see the videos of his former group members? Does he not see the final cut of his videos? Or he does not know any better? Or he does not have a say in the whole matter? What about other videos he has featured in? like Jim jatts, Stylee video.
I will like to see Tuface improve,I do agree he has come a long way, he has evolved and I repeat he is one of the foremost artistes in Nigeria, and with time Africa. If he steps up his game, he might just be one of the foremost truest Nigerian International artiste reckoned with across the globe. His songs are tight, his looks is right, his style is evolving, simple and cool but his videos and vocabulary need major mending, someone explain to Tuface please!
Alot of drama happens in the church and this shaggy's video's tells it all,
I like the dutty wine part,lawl.
Enjoy!

Can we get your mind over the matter? Lets clear your mind of the clutter,
Sit down, Talk to me, Look at me, What is it? Say it all, I am listening.
its more than your work, I know its another woman, I won't bother to ask, If she is fairer? If her bosom made of gold? I don't want to know.
Is she the reason, You my lover have suddenly become cold? Grave cold.
Look at me, Listen, Don't let your eyes flutter, Who is this Jolene? That has turned your heart and eyes from me, Where did I miss it? Was it something I said? Was it something I did? or the things I left unsaid?
No, never! I will not strip on the streets, or exchange vile words with another, To win back your heart, or prove my love, I know my worth,
Summon reason, Think deeply, And burn your lustful pangs of hunger, Before you stray further, let me warn you, I'm not like the father of the prodigal, Waiting and hoping, Crying and praying,
I'll be long gone before your return, Too far away to hear your pleading call, I would have given up on you; on us, And moved on, knowing fully well, sometimes love is not enough.
It has been raining Elephants and Lions in Lagos, for the past one week. Whenever it rains,all I can think about is Rihanna's song, It is just the Umbrella part I remember.
I fell in love with the Ying Yang twins when I heard their whisper song,beautiful song. This particular song, Dangerous, has been playing in my head all week, I love the acoustics of the guitar and the touch of Wyclef in it. Enjoy.
