@ emboldened, Arthur melo says hi

. Brov..Pedri started like Arthur but later showed flashes of finess here nd there Arthur was just constant ..maybe with the right coach Arthur would have improved.

I don't think you know who's Angelique Kidjo.

I know who Angelique Kidjo is quite alright. I feel the sentimental pull the Grammy's have towards her will always pivot them towards giving her.

Nonsense. How many of her song even the whole of Africa listened to. In all streaming platforms, her music enter top 10 for the whole year. I know quality at times doesn't necessarily equate to success of a song or anything but this fact also play a huge role in awards night.

This is same reason why some people complain why Taylor Swift and her ilk always gets Grammy's year in year out. The new poster girl is now Billie Eilish.
I wonder if BTS was in same nomination as her who they'd give it to.

You think say “erima rima rima rima” nah em dem Dey use win Grammy

Single out essence that made in Lagos was trash

Would have even loved tems to win , no be by fan base forget who pass u pass u Angelique Kidjo is a legend u Dey ment?

Just go through her wiki page and se awards and international recognition

Una wan turn here to music thread?

Award nights will always create controversies. Parties will always feel aggrieved for not winning but someone has to win.

So happy for Bruno Mars and Silk Sonic for cleaning house (Leave the door open), winning all top awards.

Do you mind Nigerian fans. They imagine that if you close down 02 arena, then it equates to winning Grammy's. Angelique kidjo does not need 02 arena or top streaming on Spotify to win Grammy. She's the biggest African artiste. Wizkid na only Nigerian fans dey hype that one. Not known beyond that. Apart from essence, that album is empty. He should be happy with the nomination.

The whole team is defending better. Everyone tracks back. See Ferran Torres and Dembele.

Gone are the days when one player walks around the pitch while the team is under pressure.

Now, everyone digs in and helps out in defending. This is why we're beginning to keep more clean sheets.

And the team is also very much fitter. They outrun all the their opponents. Hard working team we've got now.

#XaviBall

I would have preferred you said, players weren't tracking back, pressing and work rate was low. But it's obvious what you mean when you say "one player"

But still that was never the problem!.

In "those days" when one player wasn't tracking back, we still won Sextuples, Multiple back to back to back La Liga titles and Tiki Taka was at it's best.

The problem in recent times was that we had a non performing coach and bought a lot of costly but washed up players.

Remember we have won nothing yet; so take it easy.
No need taking sublimnals at every opportunity; let's look forward and forge ahead.

OkpaNsukkaisBae:




No we no go rest oga. We bashed dem, GRizzy, Coutinho & Dembouz. Some people still dey vex 4 DEMBELE miss against liverpool which would have made it 4-0, we knw how d match ended in d return leg. But it were to be FERRAN e sure me say na off-target.


get ready cox as long as ferran dey shoot him shot go outside d stadium we go dey bash m 24/7.

Ferran torres has done so well since he arrived

You can keep on bashing for all I care

abduleez1:
At this point Grammy seemingly useless and losing credibility. Cos WTF. I'm not sure I've listened to Angelique kidjos song apart from that Burna boy feature. And yet them give mama win. It's just seem sentimental.

Ain't really surprised tho.

Grammy is now useless because wizkid didn’t win it ?

He should thank God he managed to win 1 last time which is not even a full winning

OkpaNsukkaisBae:





pple making a lot of ridiculous excuses 4 a 55m player! LMAO.
abeg how much we buy Adama? mtcheww.

Adama no even play dis match.

55 million is not a big money this days so cut me that crap

Ferran torres started well at Barca than your 100
Million signings

9 Laliga games 4 goals and 3 assists

abduleez1:


Oga you type full scap sheet. Yet na nonsense you type.

Which nonsense are you talking about Ferran needing lots of improvement. Na Igbo abi na wetin. The ONLY thing lacking in Ferran's game is his shooting prowess. Dembele lacks that but isn't as criticised as this. Ferran absolutely didn't play a one dimensional football in this match as you claim.

The player you want to score (Adama) is the one who needs your sermon the most. Massive improvements Adama needs and I'm glad he's currently sitting it out. The king of one way traffic football.

Guy you be joke... Imagine comparing Ferran Torres to cold blooded strikers just to make a point. you are grappling at straws at this point cos your argument lacks merit.

Well said Baba

Don’t mind him

Bros na wombo lombo song of 30yrs plus na en we go use dey judge music now. So artists that sings contemporary music don't deserve awards?

It's this stupid analogy I get when people claim lyrical content matters.. what meaningful song has Taylor Swift, Cardi B or Meghan Thee Stallion sang except from yansh and vibes, love and heartbreak. Yet they are perennial nominees and winners.

Me I will still say it, she no deserve Shi Shi... This is just useless politics by Grammy cos they have stereotyped our musical tune. They assume we go sing suffering music, complaining about governments and climate change. Must music have political undertone to be considered good?

Abeg free me with that useless thought process.
The funny thing is I'm not even a WizKid FC fan.. I don't even enjoy his songs in the past 3yrs like I used to and feel he's dropped some sort of quality. But that doesn't negate the fact that he did a brilliant job with his body of work. The rave, the record and how it resonates with people globally.

They call the music global music award... Where the fvvk did she trend or at least one or two of her songs blow even inside this Africa. Talkless of globally. It's like this people take us for fools.

You know it's painful seeing a deserved win going too someone who came up short. She no deserve that award Shi Shi cos I'm yet to see the rubbish wey she sing wey go make am top MIL.
So na by singing KUNTA Kinte music, yelling like baboons na im be African music, crying and complaining about governments and suffering music na en be sounds from Africa?
Talm about stereotypes.


I'm not even a WizKid FC fan. Heck I don't do fan wars and the likes. I'm more of Davido but most recently Burna Boy. I support all and listen to their songs. But this one wey Grammy do no be am.

I'll try and listen to that mother nature one more time to try and see what so special about that album.

Grammy's needs some serious change and overhaul cos how them likes of Billie Eilish, Taylor Swift and Cardi B win awards but when it's time for Africans they said we need genuine African tune. Dem dey mad.

It's obvious if Burna Boy no do that KUNTA Kinte music where everybody dey dance with leaves and war paint them no go give am that award.

Yeahh we have won nothing yet but the sensation is different this time. Koeman won something last year but we never felt this way. Any coach can win trophies but it takes special coach to play well. Winning trophies will just be a natural consequence.

Of course in the last 5 or 6 years, it is not uncommon to see Messi walking around the pitch while the team is throwing away 3 -0 lead or getting spanked 8-2. The coach would be afraid to say something so as not to unruffle the GOAT.

Now, the team does not have such issues anymore. No big ego to protect. There's a solidarity amongst the team and everyone merits their presence in the pitch.

The most annoying one na that useless Pakistani Afrooj song wey win. Which rubbish that one sing or perform wey she won award.

It's like the w@nkers wanted to make it seem fair that's why they let Angelique lose that category so the shouts of Favouritism won't surface.

Shouts of favoritism to who? Is Angelique kidjo not African again? Is she American now? I don't understand your argument bro. Just let it rest already before you start sounding like a broken record.

Wizkid can try again next year. There's plenty Grammy still to be won. Chest beating and talking trash on social media does not earn you a Grammy win. Nomination is already a great feat for him.

Justin Bieber had almost 6 nominations but won none. I'm sure his fans are not crying blue murder.

After averaging 40+ goals and assists those seasons, you still want a defensively useless 5 ft player to track back and help defenders?

So if Messi had join Pique and co to defend or tracked back, it would have prevented those defeats??

Oga, enjoy your revival and stop capping rubbish about Messi.

Yeah it's a wonderful feeling right now, the team is playing really well and the future looks good.

May i remind you that here have been teams before us who played wonderful and orgasmic football without any real dominance in terms of the big silverware(in our case the UCL and A string of La Liga titles).

At the end if we play all this beautiful football and we don't win the big trophies, hmn.. the kain trolling wey we go chop ehn.

It's not reasonable for you to conclude that one player out of ten outfield players not pressing is the reason we threw away a 3 nil lead or an 8-2 loss.
TSeriously
The same one who gave us the 3 nil lead in the first instance??

Needless to remind you that Messi was walking between 2009 and 2017 as well.

Anyway, it's your opinion but my own is stop being subliminal about it.

Like you just did in this post, continue to suggest openly that Messi was the reason we performed poorly in the last 3 years.

Just stop dropping sneaky and veiled remarks about him.

If you must pls do it openly.

She can be African and still be favoured. She's been winning it for long.
Billie Eilish and Taylor Swift that bagged numerous awards last year were Americans and there was shouts of Favouritism. There's always a pint of Favouritism In awards shows almost every year. So I'm well within bounds if I made that claim.

And

Anyways dem don give who dem wan give award. I no be FC fan sef, so make I rest. We try again next year. Most likely we go see new winner since she won't be dropping album.
Lemme go and check the full list of winners and nominees.
