Diary Of A Vocal Coach: Training Sessions Audio (Part 5)


In this tape, Melissa John--Airtel Trace Music Star Tanzania Winner 2016, is rehearsing License To Kill by Gladys Knight, for Airtel Trace Music Star Grand Finale that was to take place in Lagos, Nigeria. Paradoxically, when Melissa arrived in Lagos, however, she decided to ditch her entire repertoire--songs I had selected for her AND ones she'd undergone rigorous voice training to perfect--for some half cookie songs, one of which--Summertime, she neither knew the arrangement nor the lyrics to, and yet still went up on stage to perform. And so as a result, she DIDN'T win the competition! So that's how Tanzania lost the Pan African competition to Zambia. So much for knowing-it-all, hey? Had she stuck to our plan she would've won the competition. Absolutely no doubt about it.

Kwenye audio hii, Melissa John, mshindi wa Airtel Trace Music Star Tanzania, anafanya mazoezi na wimbo License To Kill wa Gladys Knight ili kushindania tuzo la Africa uliokua ufanyike nchini Lagos, Nigeria. Chaa ajabu, Melissa alipofika Lagos aliamua kutoimba nyimbo zile ambazo nilimchagulia na alizofanyia mazoezi, akachukua nyimbo zingine alizojiamulia yeye mwenyewe huko Nigeria, mmoja wapo--Summertime, ambao wala hakua anajua mpangilio wala mashairi yake, lakini alipanda ivo ivo jukwaani na kuimba. Matokeo yake hakushinda shindano hilo, na badala yake mshindani wakutoka Zambia alichukua ushindi. Hivo ndivo Tanzania ili poteza kirahisi mno ushindi wa Airtel Trace Music Star Africa 2016. Faida ya ujuaji ndio hio, au sio? Angefuata orodha ya nyimbo kama tulivopanga, angeshinda hili shindano kabisa!

You are the instrument, learn to sing like a pro!
