Paulina Opoku-Gyimah says: I was thinking about Ghanaian talent or the lack of,
when my mind wondered to who/whom would represent Ghana at this year’s BET
Awards, -and I got all emotional.. We just don’t get it –do we???
I was also thinking about how D'Banj seized ‘our’
Azonto and made it his ‘own’ and took his Oliver Twist single global, –can you Adam
& Eve it??? How on earth we Ghanaians can give the world the ‘Azonto’ and
not have ONE musician hot or brave or talented or connected enough to
capitalize it…is beyond me!!!! Still, I don’t blame D'Banj and now Wizkid also
has an Azonto tune out, -for taking our hot beats and running with it. –Because
if no one of Ghanaian origin has what it takes to serve it, –then why shouldn’t they???
*I really don’t know if it’s a case of very little
talent, I don’t think so –do you, or it’s a case of not having the right
promoters/managers/money/connections or whatever (s) in Ghana’s ummm, music
industry!!!
Anyway, like I said…it got me thinking… about the
guys…them.
Anyway, you all know that I’m picky, ok, not picky
or choosy, just all about real talent (when it counts –wink, wink). -And if
truth be told, I’m still all about Jerry Anaba aka Okomfo Kwadee, Kwaw Kese and
Scizo (of rain, rain fame).
These cats might be quiet right now –but they
are/were hot, gorgeous, talented, respected and loved!! –And whilst they might be taking-time-out, –sort
of, -well Kwadee seems to be, and Kwaw kesse is sort of quiet right now –and Szico
only really had that one hot hit (Rain, Rain –remember), -they all had/have that
X factor thingy!! –Still, I’m thinking that it has to be about
Ghana’s latest ‘Bright-Young-Things’ –right!!!!!
Do note that I respect and acknowledge Tinny and Samini,
-both are gorgeous and talented but are they what BET’s looking for?
Also, I love and respect the likes of Ayigbe Edem,
R2Bees, and Mugeez –and I’m over the moon that both D-Black and Sarkodie have
had their turn, ….but I can only really think of two brothers that I feel can
serve it, BRING IT –and take their talent (and hot selves) global, –and hopefully
get to represent Ghana at BET –this year. –They are: Elorm Adablah aka E.L (of One
Ghana and Kaalu fame) and Jupiter…
These two brothers are uber talented, relevant, look
good (not like they’re eating fufu everyday), note how E.L looks like a male
model –and Jupiter wastes no time in taking his top off at every opportunity –but
mostly, they are- unafraid, believe in their s**t and so do I.
They truly have what it takes to make it outside of
Ghana/Africa/the black community and to heat up the mainstream!!!
As for ‘our’ ladies it’s even worse… But I’m thinking….now
that BET has nominated the likes of beautiful (and uber elegant) South African
singer, Lira –they have most definitely opened the doors to female artists from
Africa, –and whilst we don’t have many known female MC’s –Ghana is full to
bursting with beautiful talented girls…Only, they haven’t been discovered
yet!!!
The thing is, whilst a female MC might be hot in her
home town, Kumasi -say, if you and I don’t know about her, –nobody really cares
–do they? Why established musicians/managers/producers
aren’t out there scouting and looking for talent nationwide in Ghana –is beyond
me!!! Plus, as I’ve stated before, –even the ones that are scouted, aren’t
managed properly, don’t look good or lack talent…
Still there are three gals I truly believe in 2013, –and
feel they have what it takes to succeed!!! They’re hot, talented, have the X factor,
–and can represent Ghana on any level –right now!! They are: Tiffany, my little
man loves her, Lady Jay and Lousika!!!!
