I don't blame the singers (most of them cannot be called artistes).I'll rather blame the paying crowd that keep patronising them. I have seen a good number of Nigerian acts and i have a list of those i will see again after the first time. Same way i have a long list of those i will never pay to see until someone confirms to me that they have chosen the path of hard work as it concerns stage craft. How can i pay to go listen to a cd I already have at home? 3 Likes |

The OP is very correct - This is the main reason i would never pay a penny to attend any Nigerian hiphop concert - It is always a CD listening event. I can simply stay at home and listen to the CD 2 Likes |

On my own view...Its not actually the artist fault,cos i have watched D banj,wandecoal,timaya,p square,flavour,wizkid,duncan mighty and many others perform live....The problem is during studio sessions the tones,VST's,plugins ,improvisation in our nigerian beats are complicated...A producer will play instruments that when you call the artist for a live show he will get to have advanced tone generators in order to get exactly what is in d beats...u think if i book p square a show of a nite for 2 million i then get to hire instruments for another 2million to be able to get tones used in alingo,personally,roll it.etc...then wizkid will tell me he will need a MOTIVE XTS ROLAND to play his azonto song......,Producers should learn to do beats that can be played live. on stage 1 Like |

its no news even femi kuti sometime in the early 2000's said something abt this, and he was a bit angry, then he hailed ruggedman (yes the baraje guy) and Darey art alade for being the better of the flock. Today i'll add a few ; M.i sometimes, YQ (did dis show at FUTA), Modenine (just give him da beat), Praiz, Bez, Asa, Chobams Asuquo, Djinee(at a time), and all juju, fuji, highlife, oghene artists, very few gospel acts like sammy okposo and frank edwards, i think 2face, faze and stylplus at times. these are the few i know dat actually knw dia lyrics and twist them to give the audience a good feel one they dont get when listening to d CD. |

True talk my brother.I barely enjoy the so called live performances of most nigerian musician.Although,usage of live band to a Performance seems much expensive but it brings out the best in an artiste.Most event planner/promoters tend to employ the services of a disc jockey to paying almost ten people that will play diff instrument.Moreover,there aim is to maximize profit,at the expense of getting value for the money spent. I won't be happy dat despite paying #5000 for a show and an artiste on stage is reminding d DJ d track he is meant to play |

It depends on the music though, the like of KSA, K1 and Pasuma gives live perfomance anytime anyday. |

Larrey: 2face,asa,banky w,darey,tiwa salvage,omawunmi,praiz etc are good wen it comes to live performance Errr, hold up one minute, did you just mention TIWA SAVAGE gives good live performances??!! LOL!!!! She has ZERO stage presence and can barely sing live. Trust me, we've been backstage too many times. She has the most excellent packaging, because in this here Naija, we will buy mediocre talent as long as it is packaged beautifully. The only concerts I can pay for are Darey Art Alade and Psquare, I work for my moni o. Tiwa Savage give good live performance, chei! Even my non-musical friends called me to vex after they attended something she did live. |

I would say music generally has changed globally. There are genres of musics that can be live performed like the RnB. Most artists now use auto tunes for their songs which makes it hard for them to have true live performances because they aren't going to use auto tune in live performances but their real voice. I would still say that am proud of the Nigerian music industry. We are breaking boundaries. Gone are the days when we patronized South African, Ghana, Congolese... music. |

Nomski0:This aren't only a case in Nigeria. It's a global trend. Even artists from the United States which most of our Nigerian artists crave to feature don't also have sensible lyrics anymore. |

When i said that Beiber is far greater than Fela, and all African musicians in history combined, many ignorant bigots and dunderheads did not hesitate a bit to nail me. Now u c for yourselves. To all reasonable people in this continent, African musicians are totally useless and trashy. None can sing except with d aid of Vocoder. Their live performances always show how totally talentless and giftless they are. Little wonder they are hardly known beyound their continent. JB is far greater than all African entertainers of all time, COMBINED. |

Re: Nigerian Artistes Don't Know The Meaning Of Live Performance. by Nobody: 7:52pm On Dec 05, 2013 |
Do they how to sing? Only singing about bumbum ass! Rubbish!. Anything that pops up in their head, they just feel it could be a hit . At least tiwa Savage has some inspiring song I think! Same tune and err'thang. Iyanya's ur waist the beat is almost the same with sexy mama. Gosh! Live Performance omg! The music would be so loud, you can't hear their real voice, too much using of auto-tunes. They don't really understand what live performance is all about, your fans needs to hear your real voice. That's why we will never get there, I mean winning Grammy's and all that s-hit |
