Wizkid tried... But nope! Kidjo deserved this!

No need for bias... Wizkid is still a kid musically where that woman is!

Well, I acknowledged that already. But this isn't about thier musical accomplishments in general but the albums they both released in the year under consideration. And I liked Essence.

It should be an insult by now to Africans in general that the Oscar academy cannot see beyond Angelique Kidjo in its awarding for Best Global Music. Is she the only one doing music in the whole of Africa? Or in the rest of the world?

She is the best for now... Any proper music fan will acknowledge this.

Don't confuse hype with quality!

OK, bro. Like I said, I'm not doubting Angelique's superiority. I only said I wish Wizkid had won cause his album was also deserving. I'd like to believe only the 2021 albums are compared and not thier entire accomplishments. As a francophone myself, I don't think you're bigger fan of Angelique than I am. But then again, there isn't nothing wrong in wishful thinking, you know.

So tell me, which track in Angelique's winning album really caught your interest?

I love the Title track (Mother Nature). I find her vocal range astonishing.

Her Collab with younger stars like Yemi, Eazi, also shows true genius.

I seriously do not understand the criteria for this award, if this is how it is, wonder why 2face could not win it with African Queen album?

At the emboldened, Angelique Kidjo suspended her album for Burna Boy to win last year, after sending him into depression when he released the African Giant album.

Again, she deliberated delayed her album because she wanted Burna to win. If you listened to "Twice as Tall" track, you'd hear Burna rant about his Grammy sojourn and how it messed him up.

I will agree with you because she acknowledged him in that grammy she made him lose

Oh... I see. Definitely a nice album but, in my opinion, it is not the best from her if I'm to judge by her standards. I think she sounds much better when she sings in her local language or even French. Apart from Flying High, other tracks are mostly in English and that didn't cut it for me. sad

Also, I really don't think she has a very wide range (I'd give that to the likes of Onyeka Onwuenu). Angelique's voice is almost consistently between tenor and baritone (A3?). I think what's mind-blowing about her voice is rather her tone. Her voice is like the sound of liquid gold flowing through a glass tunnel. Where I live, my friends call her wombolombo. Asides her French tracks, they don't understand most of the things she says, but they still love her nevertheless. cheesy

She's really awesome.
