Fate of the Unfaithful; What a Fuckery!

blank

This should have been a review but it’s not! It’s more of a rant. The truth is I can’t get over the fact that I wasted 30 minutes of my time watching that “fugly” train wreck excuse of a movie called ‘Fate of the Unfaithful.’  I didn’t finish the movie nor was able to bring myself to pay close attention to write what would have been a review. Instead, I have decided to write what I have aptly dubbed ‘WARNING: This may hurt your eyes.’

Confidence Haugen; Do Not Judge a Book by Its Cover

blank

Describing Confidence’s sense of style as haute will be far-fetched; however, catastrophic does spring to mind immediately, especially considering the responses it provokes. Confidence may have stepped on some toes with her daring style, which has well, drawn some harsh criticisms. However, whatever the reasons behind her sense of fashion, it appears she has had her fill of the negative publicity surrounding her.  It’s about time the public shift its attention and focus on what she is least known for-her numerous charity works in Ghana.

Jackie Colors Colors Appiah

blank

The desire to standout is just human nature. Unfortunately, some try too hard and end up committing silly mistakes. It happens with everybody. However, the same cannot be said of habitual fashion offender Jackie Appiah. Recently, Ghanacelebrities was heavily criticized for including Jackie in our first annual best dress list (2008). The disapproval sent our way by some readers is completely understandable. She made that list based on her style off set which is best described as pleasant.  However, Jackie’s onscreen looks over the years have slowly morphed from being fairly chic to disastrous; her onscreen style can be described in one word-tacky, with one hell of a capital T.

Jackie’s onscreen color scheme is usually off and does not relate to the occasion or environment.  She is usually decked out in vibrant coordinating colors more often than not accentuated with drag make up. The most irritating aspect of this is her penchant for tying huge scarves and flowers that belong in a vase around her neck-can she even breath with that suffocating thing around her neck all in the name of fashion?

Essien’s ex Dela; A Perfect Picture of Woman Scorned

I have been familiar with the whole Dela-Essien-Nadia triangle for quite some time now. Matter of fact,I considered blankdedicating an entire article to the ongoing fiasco in the past. For a long time, I resisted the nagging urge to honor this mess a space on my hard drive, let alone waste my precious energy writing an article on it. What prompted me to finally give in to the urge is that the whole fiasco has taken a turn for the worst. Contrary to what was reported earlier, it was Dela who took Essien to court and not the other way round. Dela recently dragged Essien to court over failing to compensate her after “their divorce.” DIVORCE!? Hold on a minute, when did the alleged nuptial take place?

Obviously, there may be more to this story as there are more sides to every story. In the beginning, I sympathized with Dela. Of course it hurts to be scorned, especially by someone you deeply care about; it becomes even more painful when everything is played out in the public eye. However, whatever dignity Dela had throughout this saga is now in shreds given her recent behavior. Her behavior irks me beyond reason; it appears she has this sense of entitlement to Essien’s money. Sometimes, I get the inkling the law she is studying in London triggers her sometimes erratic and irrational behavior, but then there may be other ulterior motives; could it be greed? Desperation? Vengeance? What is it?

Is Kumasi’s HipLife Dying?

 

blank
Reggie Rockstone

When the 90’s ushered us into the era of Hiplife , Kumasi became its beacon. Oseikrom was massively behind Hiplife’s success. I still remember the days when musicians, producers, sound engineers constantly said: “if your song is accepted by Kumasi, then it has been accepted by the whole nation”. Kumasi was the kingmakers in dictating which musician worn an award. I still remember those times when Hiplife musicians used to launch their albums in Kumasi. That is certainly not the case today.  For instance, it was surprising to know that Praye’s “Angelina” was really popular in Accra weeks before people in Kumasi even recognized. Some few weeks ago, majority of people in Kumasi did not even know who Sarkodie was.

Ghana Movie Fashion Shows

One of the overlooked elements in terms of making a movie (as far as most African movies are concerned) in its entirety is the WARDROBE. Though awards are handed out for doing an excellent job of finding or creating precisely the right clothes for the cast of a movie, it seems movie makers and actors still do not grasp the significant role a wardrobe plays in the overall quality of a movie. Why this article? It appears more and more newly released movies are becoming more centered on fashion taking away from the movie concept. The problem with this ongoing “Fashion Shows” is that, they are not complimentary to the movies.

Do Gospel Musicians Pay Payola?

Ohemaa Mercy
Ohemaa Mercy

The above named question sounds like a million dollar question but trust me am not that dumb to ask such a thought provoking question. I decided to write this piece because the question ‘do gospel musicians pay payola’ has been with me since I was that little-fun-boy and now that I have grown up and almost going bald. I get confused anytime I ask that question because I do not get the answer I was anticipating, and what answer was I expecting? Read on.

I ask that question because I have observed over the years that it is only in Ghana Music Chart (I stand to be corrected if am wrong) that you see only the music we call secular (worldly) music always topping the chart at the expense of the gospel musicians and it is even more strange because Ghana has a lot of gospel musicians and the number keep increasing day in, day out.

What is Hip Life At All?

Reggie Rockstone
Reggie Rockstone

Reggie Rockstone has been acclaimed as the originator of hip life music in Ghana but it is very astonishing up to date to vividly understand and unquestionably know what song falls in the genre of Hip Life. The definition of hip life seems very controversial as much as who started it.

I can boldly say without contempt that, the Ghana Music Award Committee even cannot clearly distinguish between a hip hop and a hip life song. The Afro Pop musician, Wanlov the Kubolor recently expressed his distress about the named committee categorizing his song “Konkonsa” as Hip Hop whiles he believes the song is more Hip Life than most that were selected as hip life.

“Ghana Music Awards Is Too Commercial” – Kojo Antwi

blank
Kojo Antwi

Ghana Music Award Artist of the Decade, Kojo Antwi has described the GMAs as too commercial, saying that he wished that Charterhouse/planning committee could a separation between making profit and rewarding excellence. He said this on TV3’s Spotlight when he was talking about how he feels about winning the award.

He said he wished that the artist of the decade was not a competitive award, and that instead the organizers should institute a system for rewarding lifetime achievements in the music industry, as it done all over the world. He also added that it wasn’t right for Charter House to measure the achievements of artists like himself, Ambolley and others by the achievements of the GMAs.

Black Rasta Must Step Aside

blankI write to welcome the news of the disqualification of reggae artiste Black Rasta; of course this news was long over due.

Black Rasta, who is also a radio presenter on an Accra FM station, has no right to insult the Ghana Music Awards Organisation, and Charterhouse, the organizers of the awards just because of his song ‘Barack Obama’ was not nominated in the ‘Most Popular Song of the Year’ category, so far as am concerned Black Rasta does not merit to be nominated in any category in the first place not to talk of the Most Popular Song of the Year. He was even lucky to have been considered by the Planning Committee in the ‘Reggae Song of the Year’ category.

Beyonce: the President Daughter; a Rip Off?

blank
Nadia Buari

The Ghanaian movie “Beyonce: the President Daughter “was a hit across Africa, outside Africa it was especially a hit in the Caribbean. The movie has won many critical accolades and is credited with not only contributing to the resurrection of the so-called dead Ghanaian movie industry, it also lunched the booming careers of two Ghanaian movie stars Nadia Buari and Van Vicker. Matter of fact, so huge was the buzz surrounding this movie when it made its debut back in 2006, I scrambled my very last dollar, drove my broke self to the nearest African movie store and got me a copy (that was a lie, watched the flick for free online).

A TWO WAY THING: Keeping your end of the deal

blank“… you should know what you’re worth. You should know that, the producer is trying to make money out of you; the same way you’re trying to come out and be famous and act and maybe… you want to act and all of that. You should know that the producer is also using your face or using you to make money… so you should think of that, its not like a one sided thing.

Who Is Even Paying This Payola?

Reggie Rockstone

When you ask any of our Ghanaian Musicians about some of the major problems that curtail the growth of the music industry, all you hear is PAYOLA PAYOLA! I have heard Reggie Rockstone the Godfather of Hip life says” Fuck Payola, Payola is Bullshit”. A recent interview on www.ghanacelebrities.com with top music stars like Kwabena Kwabena, Wanlov the Kubolor, Mensa, etc brings to light that, our music industry is dying out of payola though every artist seem to have a different perception on the effects on Payola.

Ghana Movie Industry vrs Nollywood – who is under threat?

blankThe Ghanaian movie industry has at this point not announced and official name for its Ghanaian film industry as with the case of Americas Hollywood, India’s Bollywood, and Nigeria’s Nollywood, and co. For that reason, in this article Ghanaian actors and actresses are referred to as exactly that, instead of a representative name.
May the public be aware of proposed names as; Gollywood; Ghollywood; Ghallywood; and Ghanawood. None of which has been used as the representation of Ghanaian movie industry in this article… It made producing this article a long process (an example as seen with the above title).
