I have tried (the heavens are even aware that I have tried) to explain to him why Housewives of Atlanta is a necessary show to watch on TV apart from Champions League and yes supporting that dead team called Liverpool. Bemused smile. Please I did not just write that. I am innocent. Yes, I put it to you in a very unpampered manner ala Philip Addison style. But for real, these shows are not that boring, it is so fun to see how people decide to be absurd and fight over the darnest things. Just imagine, Kim Kardashian landing on the worst dressed look and getting broken hearted because she feels she has disappointed Kanye. In this our middle income country then you will be stressing your man over these things, he will simply pour water on you....no light, no water, tough cash times.... edi3ben worst dressed list? Not annoying at all.
Back to subject, event houses have seen that lots of people( like me )have decided to take the cheap side (I call it the better side with better front row seats) and watch the events from home. And why not? Forgive me but the amount we pay for the tickets is so so ridiculous, besides I can always dance to the music at home. Dance and sweat like no man's business. Yeah men!! I know the next question that would pass through your lips is so when will you pay for a ticket and attend? Simple! When the branding and coordination is top notch. An event slated for 8 pm starts around 10.30 pm and ends around 2.50 something am? Aden? Ghana Music Awards has been done for over 14 years but it hasn't managed to ooze that exclusive" one night only feel" That one night where you come out in your best tailored designer or non designer dresses, see celebrities decked out properly who nicely sign autographs, pose with fans in an orderly manner (key word orderly) bla bla bla.
I sat down around 8 pm to watch the red carpet and that I must say was my first disappointment. Confidence Haugen. Absolutely not working. What ever issues you might have with Confidence, you cannot simply do away with her vavavoom. As a woman, trust me you need it. Vavavoom is not trashy dressing but a little spunk in your attitude and she has it. So simply put I was expecting a dress like what she wore last year or even better. The white dress did not look good on her no matter how expensive it was. Same as her hair,it was all over her face, little wonder she was sweating. Profusely. Lets us even assume that Charter House did not provide hair and makeup artistes, common Ms Haugen you are that fab to have your glam team on hand. It is not your fault that the place is hot but you shouldn't let us see your sweat. That was very uncool. Adi3 no wo yea na woaye no pr3ko. As for the LAFA (Locally Acquired Foreign Accent) It has become very normal like dumsor. Only that these days, my people have slanged soo much you wonder if there is another place apart from the United States with a new language. Identifying the LAFA is soo painful now.
First"I got you" in LAFA was "agotchu" now in the unidentified LAFA it is "aguoasho". I have raised my hands....hahahahaha. Why do people do that to themselves.
My major problem with her interview session was she simply would not let you finish before asking another questions and her questions were too loaded. Ask them light hearted questions not questions that would make them think. And one more thing Mz Haugen. be a diva(since you say you are) don't fight on Twitter. You dont see Mariah Carey on Twitter like that unless of course you are a Miley Cyrus. Stay above it. I don't know why people fuss on "haterism". Stick with the program. Besides not everybody is a hater.
Moving along, roll in Benny Blanco. Umm tsk tsk tsk. I have always wanted to ask him where he is from. Blanco...hmm sounds Fanti. Anyways, he also went on the tangent "what are you wearing" and he had very very funny answers but it was like either he didnt realise the answers are ridiculous or he was laughing inside because his facial expression never broke. From I am wearing NEXT, to I am wearing a white shirt, to I am wearing Khaki. I will not start discussing that critically because I will not know how to stop. All I can say is why don't we wear our local designer clothes? Then what is the essence of having events like Ghana Fashion week. Is it that the clothes are expensive? But the designers cannot simply expect everybody to buy their designs...You have to find a muse. Find a popular muse and style the person just make sure that the muse shows up in-front of the camera displaying the awesome creation. Do men and women fall under the word muse?. Shrugs. Muses are plenty about town, Jocelyn Dumas, Efya, Ohemaa Mercy, Ms. Buari, Jackie Appiah (where is she) and umm Mandy Jay. I reserve all comments on what she was wearing. Got to admire her courage tho. Not everybody can pull of that look with such panache. Enough with the red carpet.
Why on earth did they start as late as 10 pm. You have been doing this for the past 14 years and still starting as late as 10 pm and ending as late as 3:00 am? Why?But Surprise surprise....I absolutely loved everything Eazzy (co host) wore and her presentation as a co host.. Considering this is her first gig, she was definitely on point. Ophelia Crossland (her designer) was so on point with the gown and the dresses. See she has found the perfect muse and worked with it. Who wants to bet that Madam Crossland has landed a costumer or two? Shuuu...I am an invisible customer, I am just waiting till I get money then I will really Crossland myself. I did not know what KOD (co host) was doing so please excuse me if I do have anything to write about him. And speakinf of hosts what was the deal with some of the presenters of the awards. Some of them acted like they walked on stage alone, holding the card close to their chests so that the other person could not see and help present award. Others took it as a 5 minute introduction of themselves. Ei na wei nsonso y3 asem. What that the place to tell us that you are from Jamaica and this is your first time in Ghana. But why? Who cared?!
Performances, performances....I absolutely loved Kontihene, FUSE ODG and Akatakyie. Ah Kontihene was so good. I danced papa. He worked the stage and had almost everyone dancing, the posers even got up. Akatakyie have the midas touch in their wack rap. Once they start rapping everybody begins to dance and rap along. As for FUSE if he did not bring that girl who danced in his video, I simply do not think anyone would have forgiven him. She is simply flexible. Yes that kind of girl, you pray your man does not meet in the club. But time does change Banky W, VIP, 4X4 and even Sarkodie were soo lost on me. Wiz Kid was aight such a bummer he couldn't perform Time Bomb with Samini. Somebody explained it was because of Samini being an MTN icon. *rolls eyes*. No I am not going to comment about EL, Keche and Herty Borngreat. Gospel Music has just gone down some ridiculous road for some and I do not want to begin to dissect that migrane. I love my OJ and his sensible down to earth music.(award or no award) R2Bees swept the awards....whoooooooooooooo hoooooooooooooooooooooo. And I love Mugeez more than Paydae. whoooooo hoooooooo......Expected! Expected! Just waiting for the BET awards then we are done. Look at me as if I am part of the award winners. But they deserve it. Their song entitled LIFE is so worth it. I call it wisdom from unexpected places.
I will end on Sarkodie. I am his biggest fan and I am disappointed. His performance was the dullest ever and I really do not get why he is rapping about himself and the money he makes or doesn't make. It is not fresh. Yes we know JayZ does that but it comes with the pinnacle he has reached. He really has the clout to brag. He has the money and the ultimate accessory Beyonce. Dear Obidi, you just launched a fashion label, we are yet to see the success rate, I for one I am praying it doesn't end up like StepApp. Stephen Appiah tried and tried but things fell apart because the center could simply not hold. You are a big boy by now you should have heard the reviews and trends you made on Twitter. Your act was bad. Nobody wants to hear about Illuminati or whether or not you are....If in doubt take a look at VIP. And umm why on earth are you selling a belt for GHc 180. Come on. You should know that at that price, you are dead on arrival. Know thy market trends and study thy people. People dress expensive but seriously, it is the combination of pieces that give the look and if you really take the pain to investigate the whole outfit from head to toe costs that Ghc 180 you want to sell your belt for. Come on. Relax. I will hate to see you become less popular and begin to vent like Shata Wale. *straight face* Don't let it get into your head.
Have a good evening people. Traffic bound journey. Sigh!!
My words, my thoughts, if you work at Charter House.... don't diss much.
Forgive typos. As always.
Peace.
PS. Manifest went to my school. He is a Tsikata but I love him nonetheless....ummm more than his father....all pun intended.
hahahaa
