@peterodei5155 I was just like you, some time ago. I always criticized him. I never liked his style of singing. After watching this particular video of his performance, I have grown fond of him now. Especially his 'TRANSITIONS' from 'Ghanaian Highlife-Chorals' to 'World-Class-Recitatives' There are are standards, but his styles are for entertainment purposes., therefore the subject of standard 'gets lost' here. For example; Sammi always recomposes his songs differently on every stage he mounts, depending on the 'Immediate Audience'.
Hello Maestro Addaquay! Wonderfull performance on this lovely Ghanian traditional gospel song. Great! Played with Joy. Expressfull! beautifull variation and modulation. You make people love the song you play! Congrats Sir!
Wrong singing technique, especially the vibrato and phrasing!!! In the country of the blind the one-eyed giant is King. Using solo voice to interpret music which was written to be sung by full choir and with harmony is an aberration; and sadly others will copy and we will make laughing stock of ourselves on the world stage. And I am told that he is very arrogant, disrespectful and big-headed. Those of you who are hailing him for his, undoubted, talent must also advise him to be humble, adhere to singing and playing norms and stop mis-educating the public
Hearing people say is different from seeing it yourself. Yes there are standards but you can do your own variations to be out of the norm. Don't you think so???.
This is all you have to say about this? You didn't see anything to commend before criticizing? You are told he is arrogant etc? Hear say,That means you are not sure. Please go and sing your own and stop hating. If you want to advise him then do it in a decent manner. It is called constructive criticism. He has a right to create his style of music, how did Handel and Mozart start? You can't be outstanding if you always conform to the norms. The man is praising his God and you can't see that?
This is totally uncalled for and a kill-joy spirit oozes out from you. Is it that nothing was good in all he did and nothing worth commending? You just chose to trash all his efforts, gifting and grace into the trash; if only men were God then you would have sentenced him into oblivion but my brother, God pass you. I'm because someone mentioned him and i chose to search him out. Please do better next time even if you know better. Regards bro.
