Adekunle Gold has come under harsh criticisms from his fans over what they describe as dry performances on stage.
Adekunle Gold
Fans have come for Adekunle Gold, calling him a dry stage performer and asking him to put more life in his stage performance.
There is absolutely no doubt that Adekunle who is new YBNL signee, is highly talented. This can be seen in the way his two songs, ‘Sade’ and ‘Orente’ are doing quite well, and his future in the music industry looks even brighter.
However, with the current turn of events, it is obvious he and his handlers have to pay urgent and special attention to his stage performances.
A Vanguard report has shown that many fans complained after several shows that he is usually boring on stage, and sometimes acts as if he doesn’t really even want to be there. Being a slow-tempo song, it is his performance of it that is supposed to give the number a lift and the needed blast.
He was at the 2015 All African Music Awards (AFRIMA), last week, where he picked up the award for Revelation of the Year, and he also performed, but many of the guests in attendance complained openly that his performance was drab and lifeless.
Instead of performing with a live band, all he did was mime and barely moved his body to the music.
‘This performance is so boring and I’m so disappointed in him. No doubt, he is talented, but he has a lot of work to do in terms of carrying his fans along whenever he is on stage. If he continues this way, people will easily get tired of him,’ a fan commented.
This was also the same scenario that played out at his performance at the recently concluded Felabration where many fans complained that his performance was colourless and dry.
