I took a bold step @ achieving my dreams of becoming a singer/songwriter last Tuesday and auditioned for Nigeria’s Star Quest 2010. I did a song of mine and was asked to do another, so I did the bridge of Beyonce’s If I Was A Boy. Unfortunately that wasn’t enough for the judges. They asked me to sing yet another song this time by a Nigerian artiste and there and then singer’s block set it in. LMAO.
I can’t sing any Nigerian song even if my life depended on it. I tried TuFace Idibia’s African Queen and had to stop 10 seconds into the song cos I just sounded STUPID. I simply couldn’t fake it and the crowd burst out laughing. That moment was priceless
!
End of story, I was told Star Quest 2010 was a NIGERIAN talent show and that I needed to sound NIGERIAN!
That’s one feat that I know I might NEVER be able to achieve cos none of the few vocalists in Nigeria has what it takes to make me actually want to go the extra mile to learn his/her style. Besides I’m so OBSESSED with Mariah and Christina as they are the ones after whom I’ve chiseled certain facets of my voice.
I guess that means I’m back to life as a grumpy Medical Doctor until the Big Guy upstairs says, IT’S YOUR TIME TO BE A STAR! lol
