NAIJA SINGERS SHOULD LEARN FROM THIS!!

Many Nigerians have seen the spectacle that was served up early this morning at the half-time of the Super Bowl 50, which held at the Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California, on Sunday, February 7.

From colourful costumes, catchy dance routines and attention to detail, the 13-minute duration of the show packed a lifetime worth of entertainment from Beyonce, Coldplay, and Bruno Mars.

Here are 5 things Nigerian artistes ought to learn from that performance.

Employ Creative Direction

From start to finish of the performance, you could see the work put into every detail. The creative direction was evident, as everything flowed seamlessly, from the stage setup to the entrance of fans, the timing, the syncing of stars, dance and every aspect of it. This was creativity at its height. Not one star just came out to perform. There was a vison, and that was executed.

Engage In Rehearsals

What great feat was ever carried out without practice and rehearsal runs? Super Bowl performance was near-perfect, with so many elements flowing in and out of view effortlessly, it seems like everyone was on autopilot. That’s because the rehearsal for the show, inclusive of sound checks have been done. Every move on that stage took months to perfect.

Foster Collaboration

How many times have you attended a concert and seen three lead acts collaborating for the entirety of the performance? Almost never. What we get in Nigeria is the insistence of the headlining act to go solo, while calling on others as backup. Also we have the clash of egos coming in the way of true artisty. At Levi’s Stadium, none of that mattered, as all acts worked together perfectly to create the ultimate artistic experience.

Proper Performance Structure

Chris Martin ushered Coldplay in with the opener of openers, Viva La Vida, which came through with a full band involving percussionists, Violinists and many more. Beyonce came through with her dancers (all black women), and Brumo Mars gelled it all up with his egotistic miming. That’s performance. That should be emulated.

Timing

All the trifecta of stars needed for that night was 13 minutes. 13 paltry minutes contained that eternity of happiness and artistic beauty. Every act was contained into that set time and everyone went home happy. That’s what we should learn. Short, but rich in quality.

BEYONCE ACCUSED OF PROMOTING RACISM!!

Beyonce is currently at the center of a race row after her fierce all-black performance at the Super Bowl 50 Halftime show on Sunday, February 7.

The chart-topping star, who joined the likes of Coldplay and Bruno Mars for the halftime show, performed her new single 'Formation' with backing dancers dressed like the activists from the Black Panthers, while also giving a nod to Malcolm X.

Some viewers were less than impressed with her making such a political statement, after also dropping her controversial video for the song. Former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani branded it "ridiculous" and "anti-police" after the set at the Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara, California.

"This is football, not Hollywood, and I thought it was really outrageous that she used it as a platform to attack police officers who are the people who protect her and protect us, and keep us alive," Giuliani told The Times newspaper.

One Twitter user blasted: "What is the NFL thinking when they permit Beyonce to sing some race baiting rant at Super Bowl 50?"

Another  wrote on Beyoncé's Facebook page: "As the wife of a police officer, I am offended by this entire video. Rise above and stay above the strife. For a girl who grew up in a privileged, wealthy family, she has no business pandering to those who didn't."

Meanwhile, others thought the performance for the Black Lives Matter Movement was incredible after the 34-year-old star was previously accused of shunning her black heritage and staying silent when Black entertainers were voicing out about the #Oscarsowhite issue few weeks ago.

One wrote on Twitter: "Beyoncé just gave America a Black history lesson this week. Black panthers, Hurricane Katrina, police brutality, Afro beauty...come on B!"

ANTI-BEYONCE RALLY AT NYC!!

Just last week, Beyonce haters were shutting down the Internet and talking about how they were going to shut her down with a protest in New York but even they didn’t even care to show up to their own anti-Bey rally.

The conservative anti-Beyonce rally was scheduled to go down today in front of the NFL headquarters in New York City, but from the looks of pictures around the web, no one who was “outraged” by Beyonce’s “anti-police” Super Bowl performance actually showed up to their own event.

The only people who took time to show up were pro-Beyonce supporters, who were disappointed when they realized the opposition failed to appear.
On Monday, Queen Bey also faced criticism from the New York Police Department (NYPD). According to Michael Palladino president of the Detectives’ Endowment Association, Beyonce should get into the Ghetto and get her message delivered to where it's needed the most.

Last night in a series of tweets Peter Okoye 34, ranted against his older brother and manager Jude Okoye while remaining loyal to his brother and singing partner Paul Okoye.

It seems it is about to be over between Peter Okoye and Jude Okoye.

"I don't have a problem with Paul but the management" tweeted Peter Okoye. "My loyalty for psquare and the fans still remains 100%" he stated before adding "A manager is been employed by the artiste not the other way round. #truthBeTold."

The relationship between the brothers Peter Okoye and Jude Okoye has broken down to the extent that the singer tweeted a disclaimer stating that whoever does business with North Side Entertainment on behalf of Psquare is at his or her own risk.
