The 46664 concert, which celebrates Nelson Mandela’s 90th birthday, will hold on the 27th of June 2008 at London Hyde Park. Award winning 9ice who came into the limelight with hit songs like Little Money, Gongo Aso, and Street Credibility has been named by many as Nigeria’s foremost musical culture exponent by music lovers everywhere.

Other international artists expected to perform on this special occasion alongside 9ice include Amy Winehouse, Soweto Gospel Choir, U2, Queen, Annie Lennox, Simple Minds and other top artist from around the world with many more surprise performances expected.

how comeno1 is talking about his performance ystday me thinks it was ok sha, but the live band thing affected his stage performance, 9ice isnt the kind of person u give a live band to,not eso when he is performing Gongo Aso!!!!!!!!!!!!! all the same nice perfomance from him, even though the time was short |
Re: 9ice Is Going Global- 9ice To Perform At Mandelas Birthday Concert In London by toto1: 2:23pm On Jun 28, 2008 |
wow, i was glad when i saw him on stage i was wanting him to display on the platform, but he just stood on one place and sang and tell us God bless us, i am happy for him, God bless him and his career also. |

It's was good to see him well spruced up this time around, Nice one really, even though the band backing him just messed up the rythm of that great jam.it was apparent there was no time for rehearsal, its all gud anyway, 9ice is now WORLWIDE |
Re: 9ice Is Going Global- 9ice To Perform At Mandelas Birthday Concert In London by lakeside4love(m): 6:26pm On Jun 28, 2008 |
Oh yes the band messed up the song, Though they tried a bit, I was just so happy to see our very own 9ice on the stage, He at least made Naija Proud, |

tosinadeda: how else can an artiste take me if not for tight lyrics? I gbadun d bob lyrics. They make me think and he flows well too. His voice is nice but i dont care about that. I m just after what an artiste spits. So if u are close to sauce pikin, tell him to step up his lyrics |
Re: 9ice Is Going Global- 9ice To Perform At Mandelas Birthday Concert In London by tosinadeda: 2:52pm On Jun 29, 2008 |

tosinadeda: not really, its d way u guys are carrying him, he isn't worth all d hype. good entertainer though but una dey over rate am. i wud bob my head to the track "yebariba samboribobo" (what a title!!) meaningless though but a nice cllub banher |

Me think 9ice was simply da bomb with the live performance. He was backed by the Soweto Gospel Choir and i noticed that he had to sing part of the chorus himself. This is suppose to be the job of the backup choir. However, despite his first appearance outside of Nigeria, and a show of that calibre, he still exhude a lot of confidence. I really love that. And just watching this video with a totally enhanced Audio ( No thanks to those whack up speakers at Nigerian Events) reveals one of the best vocal talent we have. 9ice was simply Nice. I love his style coz he is quite a unique and original type, |

Nice Performance, I am proud of our Nigerian brother. A bit dissapointed his debut in front of a live international audience was shared with another African artist, but I suppose someting is better than nothing. Also, Gongo Aso is not known internationally amongst non Nigerians and so it would have been ideal to stick to the original version of the track rather than the step down live band version he sang, I felt it diluted the songs appeal to an extent. In the Fela days, he had influence on how he was perceived, particularly on stage, this must have contributed to Fela the legend and Afro beat King. The Ghana girl presenter even pronounced his name wrong, a bit dissapointed with her considering she is Ghanian with a lot of Naija friends. |

If you ask me, his perfomance was terrible! |
Re: 9ice Is Going Global- 9ice To Perform At Mandelas Birthday Concert In London by wolexf(m): 2:51pm On Jun 30, 2008 |
hotshawlng: I think that is a very mean thing to say, i personally hate it when people who cant offer anything better open their mouths and condem others who are at least doing something. The performance was nice as far as am concerned, the instrumental was produced live by the soweto choir, surely it could have been better, but at least unlike many Nigerian musicians who come on stage to mime their tracks, he actually performed his song live on stage |

mightydick: I guess ur name says it all, "Mighty Dick", i think ur dick is just generally hyperactive and it has little to do with the song. |

mightydick: Yeah right, Mr Handsome that is so scared of his own skin, despite ur mighty dick u dont even have the balls to post ur picture on ur page. Ugly Ducklin |
