During our recent post,
nanayaw18.com reported that winners of Vodafone’s Icons – Mixed edition – Black
N Peach will be heavily disgraced by their sponsors and management come tonight
at the 020live concert, well many thought we were in for bad press but unlucky
for the winners and lucky on our side, they proved us right this morning inside
Labadi Beach Hotel.
This morning at the Press
Conference of the 020 live press conference, the organizers who double as the
sponsors of the winners did not only fail to start on time but also failed heavily
to coach their made – up musicians (black n peach) on how to prepare to meet
the press.
Black N Peach looked like
some wanna bees (struggling musicians) during the meet the press session. They
came to the conference late, did not know what they were about and on top of it
all, they were badly dressed.
NanaYaw18.com can say on
authority that, these young folks are not been coached well at all, imagine
sitting in a press conference with an international star and wearing slippers
(more or less like bath rooms and walk around slippers). If you will not look
good as an artiste in Ghana that is fine but to sit on the same plat form with
an international star from a different country and dress like ‘tomatoes sellers’
is bad image for the music industry in Ghana.
Who are we to blame the ignorant
Black N Peach since they are raw talents
selected to be coached, we expect that their managers will know better than
allowing their artistes to come to a press conference dress like that while he
foreign artiste (Ludacris) looks ready for the cameras but that is to say that if they (black N peach) themselves don’t
see the importance of imaging in the life of a musician then it is their cup of
tea.
Note this, we at nanayaw18.com
are not giving bad press to any artiste but what does Vodafone expect Ludacris
to say when he returns home? Are they expecting him to praise their incompetent
organizational skills or praise their inability and lack of respect for the
arts by not only coaching their artiste well but also championing the lazy
unprofessional attitude of our local musicians who turn up for a press
conference at the time of their choice with a reason being tiredness.
Well, once again, we don’t
wish Vodafone Ghana bad at all; we hope that they insist on the right things to
be done of which one of them is coaching their winners Black N Peach in all
angels. Reality shows are not just about selecting winners but also nurturing
them to be able to stay on top for when success comes it will be in the name of
Vodafone.
A word to the wise they
say it is always enough.
