Singing | Zikoko!

Reality shows are fun and entertaining; so much display of talent you can’t help but be wowed. Still, if you think only the contestants in these shows are an interesting bunch, then let us introduce you to the other central figures – judges.

Read on.

1. The bad belle ones

Forget about trying to impress them. No contestant ever deserves a “YES” with their face like that of a stone.

2. The motivating ones

They smile, encourage you, and have a kind word even if you don’t make it to the next stage.

3. The inscrutable ones

You never really know if they’re pleased or displeased, especially if they have shades on. Fear them.

4. The misleading ones

Don’t lose your guard around these ones. They can lead you on, but still shock you with a resounding “NO” after your performance.

5. The neutral ones

They’re neither here nor there. Whatever their fellow judges say, they support.

6. The oversabi ones

Fine, their work is to judge, but there are some who-ask-you things they should not just open their mouth and say.

If you think we’re lying, here’s how to settle the matter. Tune in to channel 2 (African magic family) on GOtv Max every Sunday, by 7 p.m. to watch Nigerian Idol. Not only will you catch all the entertaining and fun moments, you’d be able to observe which category the judges fall into.
You probably think you transform to Beyoncé or Celine Dion when those earphones come in and you start singing those lyrics out from your heart, but we are sorry to break it to you that you mostly sound like a squeaking rat. Here is a list of songs you should not sing along to with your earphone on.

1.Céline Dion – My Heart Will Go On

Please and please, do not sing this song with our without your earphones on. Except you are an experienced singer, even experienced singers find it hard to do justice to the song.

2.Whitney Houston – I Will Always Love You

Let’s all just respect ourselves please and respect legends too. You won’t only be annoying the people around you, you’ll be annoying Whitney’s spirit too.

3.Beyoncé – I Was Here

You really don’t have to announce your presence by singing a Beyoncé song aloud badly. Please sing it in your mind.

How many times are we going to say please in this article?. There are songs you can sing along, this isn’t just one of them.

5.Rihanna – Love On The Brain

Even Rihanna struggled on this track, talk less you. Just avoid singing along, it’s titled ”Love On The Brain” not ”Stress on the brain” please be warned.

6.The Greatest Showman Cast – Never Enough

Look, your vocal capacity isn’t enough for this song please, sing it in your mind or in your bathroom, just do not sing it aloud when you have your earphones on.

7.Ed Sheeran – Thinking Out Loud

Do not think out loud, please dear, think inside your mind. Thanks and God bless.

8.Tiwa Savage – Olorun mi

So this is a spiritual song and we feel somehow about telling you to sing along to it in your mind, but please sing along in your mind to avoid disgrace.

9.WAJE – MOUNTAIN ft. LIRA

10.Davido – D & G

”When I look into your eyes, all I see is your waist”

Beyonce isn’t the only one paying homage to the goddess Osun.

This choir, the London Lucumi Choir, specializes in songs for Osun, the great Yoruba goddess.

The songs are sung in Lucumi, a derivative dialect of the Yoruba language.
