Seun he is a 9ja man making lovely r&B songs about 26? was Account Manager at a bank "Background Soulful, R&B boy Lemar writes and performs his tunes whenever he can. He has already been a support act for major names like Destiny's Child. Oh, and he has bendy thumbs! What does he love? He adores working his body out at the gym. He also likes being supportive and funny to be around. Fave musicians/bands Lemar stays well clear of cheesy pop or metal and is inspired by Boyz II Men, Usher and Michael jackson."

The only track i heard his nigerian accent was in his intro.Track 1 of his "Dedicated" album. But the guy is really cool.I will post his lyrics that really freaks me. |
Re: What's Up With Lemar Obika? by Outkast(f): 7:44pm On Mar 29, 2006 |
my fav song from him is Time to grow Here's some of his lyrics "Time To Grow" Last night I tried but I couldn't sleep Thoughts of you were in my head I was lonely and I needed you next to me Life is harder since you left I never meant to do you wrong And now all is said and done I hope you won't be gone too long/ No [Chorus] Where do I go What do I do I can't deny I still feel something And girl, I wish you could say you feel the same You've broken the bond I gotta move on But how do I end this lonely feeling? You've gone, I'm here, alone I guess it's time to grow I try to speak, but my words never catch the air Like you never knew I was there Take me back to the days when you really cared Can we make love re-appear? I can't go on the roads too long And now all is said and done I can't go forward if my heart's still where i'm coming from [Chorus] Crying time is over I know I can't control her feelings If she won't return, then I guess I'll be a man and move on Time to grow / And move on Make life better than it was before Time to grow and move on Make love better than I did before [repeat] Though you've gone / And I'm here, alone I guess it's time to grow |

Dedicated" I dedicate it to you Mama People, sometimes I cannot Believe how far I've made it See not too long ago I could have sworn my dreams had faded But as sweet sweet mother Did always say, When things in life Become complicated Always remain, Dedicated. We all have the Power! |

I like him, he's cute. I like his song "If there's any justice". He won best something at the Brit Awards 2006. |

I never heard of him. |
Re: What's Up With Lemar Obika? by Outkast(f): 1:20am On Mar 30, 2006 |
@sade511, he's a brit star, probably why you haven't heard of him, unless you're a music junkie and you listen to music in the u.k, you know in the states, not many Brit artist's are recognized and then they're recognized here after 2years of their hit singles |

Lemar he makes me smile, very down to earth i met him once at the Base lounge and he is so nice,he has that air about him like he is still not aware he is a star. I love him. Myself and colleagues were rooting for him when he was unknown and on the reality show Fame Academy 2002,we voted to keep him non stop, a clear winner in our eyes but it was not to be, he was told he had no talent, by that awful judge Richard Park, week after week that man wanted Lemar out. Anyway like they say every cloud eh! . Although he did not get enough votes to keep him on the show, in every sense Lemar is the true winner and only star the show can boast of. He lost his mum in 2003 shorty after getting a record contract and he is truly the uk's soul man the rest they say is history First album , Dedicated~~~~~~~~~~ fav track , lullaby written by lemar and Ainsley on the show Second, Time to grow~~~~~~~~fav track, if there's any justice(very soulful) |

Re: What's Up With Lemar Obika? by firestar(f): 1:14pm On Oct 20, 2006 |
I heard lullaby first, and memorize the chorus!!! Sang myself to sleep literally( laughs softly). He very shy too. Firestar. |
Re: What's Up With Lemar Obika? by LADYGOLD: 9:47am On Nov 13, 2006 |
we keep saying the guy is a nigerian or may be that s what we want to hear or have you ever hear where this guy ever says he is a nigerian even at any interview.may be it's me that seem to be seeing all this in a different way all this big star dont seem to be a happy to be a nigeria so why are we dieing claiming them.there are many like that, that i dnt which to get out names.senegal can proudly poin to akon as there,s south africans can point to charliz throne as there's who can we point to .of recent i had ne-yo is a nigerian which seem to be true except ofcourse if i dont know what is a nigerian name anymore |
