I wouldn’t be writing this if Jackie O had not featured on the same song with the Gud Lyf: “Pollination”. Why choose a melodic magician like Radio to be on your song if you can’t really sing…???
Pollination is a song that is loved by almost every Ugandan because it’s Love and statistics show that 95% of Music in this world is Love Lyrics. It talks about a gal who wants to be with a guy yet the guy wants to be with another Gal.
I first watched the Video and I was really taken up by the Location – J & M Hotel on Ebb Rd, the Attires, Camera Angles, Brilliant Editing, Lighting and everything about it is just great. Talk about the Audio Production, the Beat is so lovely.
But watching the Intro of the Video, I saw: Radio and Weasle ft Obsessions…!!!!. I saw Jackie O, then waited to see the Big Brother Representative Sharon O but she was no where to be seen. So, why call it Obsessions when it’s only Jackie O who’s appearing… Huh…!!!!
Let’s put the Video aside and talk about the Vocals…
Radio kicked of the Song in a Fantabulous Line: “When you really Love somebody…” followed by Weasle spicing it with a bit of Jamaican Flavor. Radio then opens up with the Chorus: “Njagala kubeera wooli”. The way Jackie O backed him up was so FABOLOUS in a way that I said to my brother, Juliana should step aside and Jackie O takes over as the Queen of Melody in our Banana Republic.
I enjoyed Radio’s Verse plus Jackie’s back up Voice anxiously waiting for her Verse. But when her Verse came up….Grrrrrrrrrr….Eeeewwwwwwww….. I lost my Fried Fish appetite instantly.
The Voice was so crooked, Rough, No key at all and it took away all her Beauty she portrays in the Video. When you compare Radios smooth voice followed by Jackie’s non-key voice, you can even break the CD and throw all the pieces away for Good.
Question for Jackie O:
Why do you choose a Magical Melodic Voice like Radio to team up for a collabo…huh…???
Sometimes I question the Ambitions of our Artistes. They Lack Vision and they don’t know where they are going. Both Jackie O and Sharon O should rejuvenate OBSESSIONS back to its Dance Origins, and this also goes to you Ronnie-C.E.O of Obsessions.
FINAL VERDICT:
Jackie O should quit Singing. If not, let her stay as a back up Vocalist. We have so many artistes who would love your services. E.g.: Bebe Kool, Jose. C, Bobi Wine. I hear even DJ Michael wants back up vocalists.
But don’t you dare try approaching Juliana, you’ll get a Heavy Slap for nothing yet we still need your Beauty in Ugandan Music Videos.
Watch The Video for your self.
