The Icons: Diva Edition hits TV screens

Posted on by under Entertainment, Ghana

The much-anticipated Icons: Diva Edition (Organized by Vodafone Ghana) hit Ghanaian TV screens (hard!)  at 2000GMT this evening. Just like all other auditions, there were some serious ‘flopees’(bad nuts) then some ‘real good voices’. My favorite was the lady teacher…

The selected ‘divas-in-the-making’ (from the semi-final auditions), would undergo voice training, fitness regimes and some other important bla bla bla’s  before the final auditions. Sounds like a long process but then, in the long run, I guess it would be worth it ;)

The grand prize at stake in the ‘ICONS: – Divas Edition’ reality show includes a major recording deal, cash package yet to be disclosed and an exclusive performance at ‘020 live’, Vodafone Ghana’s annual musical fiesta.
We’re all watching to see how things go! (of course *wicked smile* but *good intentions*) ;) so far so good

David Oscar and ‘Laugh a Minute’ on Viasat1

Intro: I always laugh anytime I watch ‘Laugh A Minute’ on Viasat1, not because the show is funny but because of the hullabaloo concerning the presenter of that show.

Seriously, I thought I was the only one who did not find anything David Oscar does funny! I feel no strong urge to state what I personally think about him! So I compiled a few comments from around gh..

Comment:Ghanaian Comedian David Oscar Is A Complete Joke

All that you’ve said is true. I think he’s been faking to be funny whilst he’s not. In fact, his show is the most boring  show on Viasat 1. David, STOP FAKING AND BE REAL, IF YOU ARE NOT FUNNY NOBODY IS FORCING YOU TO BE A COMEDIAN! STOP WASTING PRECIOUS AIR TIME.

Comment:Ghanaian Comedian David Oscar Is A Complete Joke

The guy is not articulate, he talks so fast one can hardly understand what he’s mumbling. He’s not funny. He doesn’t have the traits of a good comedian. You don’t learn to be a comedian. It’s talent given by God. The programme is just plain boring. Full stop!

Comment:Ghanaian Comedian David Oscar, Banned Forever!

Comedians are naturally gifted. If u have it, u have it and if u don’t have it, u don’t! David just doesn’t have it.period!!! I think he should consider another profession.

U see?? I really didn’t have to state my opinion after all!! They’ve said all but one…he lacks originality :)
