MISS MALAIKA @ 10 – A DECADE OF BOREDOM

This year’s Miss Malaika theme should have been a decade of Boredom and not a decade of beauty as the hyped event was not only too boring but poorly patronized.

Readers will bear witness to the fact that a Malaika final has always pulled a huge following but unfortunately not a similar situation was recorded last night at the AICC – Main hall as the 10 elegant ladies fought for the grand and prestigious prize.

Truth be told, even though NanaYaw18.com congratulates the organizers on their 10^th anniversary, many including our humble self expected something more than just a mess up event just like what they have been giving us all these 9 years. Nothing separates this year from past years, honestly.

Let’s review the boredom of Miss Malaika 2012, beginning with, due to poor attendance of the show the event dragged so long such that after hours of waiting for people to turn up who were nowhere to be found, production wise, it affected the show, the opening act did not make sense, a carnival feeling was not created and in fact the cake cutting at the beginning of the show was so unnecessary plus wrong timing.

Second off, already the poor attendance after affecting the show the less than 2000 crowd expected some thrilling performance from both the ladies and artistes billed but the situation was not so. 

Hip hop artiste Edem of over again song fame was a big error for an opening act. The artiste did not live up to expectation. Edem’s problem were, poor introduction by host Chris Attoh, poor Sound control and quality from organizers plus his hype man became his DJ. The guy was backing Edem from the audience just because he was controlling the CD player. His selection of Songs for the night also failed our hip hop star but he pulled it off successfully.

Probably that was a sign of more disaster to follow, the Ladies came to  display their low level of intelligence from their Q&As and even their talents, it was such a disgrace to see beautiful ladies displaying such ignorance as talents hence it made us at NanaYaw18.com ask, what is the educational factor in Miss Malaika events, is it just the beauty?

Miss Malaika became a pain to watch when Darey from Nigeria after a smooth performance spoilt his soup by introducing one of the most horrible voices in Nigeria music – one guy called Mo3 or something. Fans surely had had enough of it because already the hosts were not pulling their weight, no style and excitement, they were just raw (if we may use that word).

All eyes were on DBlack to come save the night only for the Oh Vera man to come do us like that. He was termed the worst performer for the night by the audience. DBlack did not only fail to thrill with his songs but he had no stage craft and stage presence plus attitude, Oh DBlack, according  to the audience he should not perform anywhere again, OH Fans, ‘ebi DBlack wey you dey do like that, aah like that’.

It was as if the disappointment was not enough, organizers did not know what to do with the event flow on the night, and it was so throbbing watching Miss Malaika Ghana 2012.

If after 10 good years, Charter Haus cannot correct simple errors on their Technical bench and put some effort into content and performance packaging then next year, we wonder what to expect in terms of happening next year.

The good news however is for the first time the audience agreed with the Judges and organizers on the selection of a winner. They said the correct delegate won- in person of Miss Sharon delegate number 9.

Indeed it was a carnival of Boredom and confusion at the Miss Malaika at 10 event.

Thanks to R2Bees and Miss Malaika 2012 winner Sharon they gave the audience something to smile to, after all nothing comes easy something we heard one of them (organizers) say after the show.
