These Singers Can Become Kenya’s First Real Divas!

There are many who would like to believe that being a diva is about being the female version of a hustler. That lot of people believe that being a diva is not allowing any other individual onto your plane. allow me to put on this ring on my finger then slap you!

One would have us believe that being a diva is about living in South C and not having plastic money. That individual would also have you believe that being a diva is refusing to take advice from anyone. but Uncle Chim Tuna is here to say that the whole lot are wrong.

I’m here to take it back to the classics. I’m looking to the original divas for inspiration, not the corruption of the term we have prancing about. If you think Rihanna is a diva, please jump out of the window and belly flop -on the cement!

The ladies i am about to introduce to you are reminiscent of the Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Dion Warwick, Whitney Houston and Chaka Khan et al. Don’t get me wrong, the Kenyans aren’t yet at that level but with the right direction, the right team to back them and the right business apparatus behind them, they could have achieved that status.

Ladies and gentlemen i present to you:

Alicios

This lass has it all. The looks, the aura but most importantly, the voice. You can just picture the paparazzi running after her and her fans stalking her. If only she had the right management team in place and the resources to achieve that…

Amileena

Voice? Check! Grace? Check! Wardrobe? No! She looks like she dressed in the dark in her videos. I can understand that she might be trying the whole India Arie vibe but to be a diva you have to be well dressed. Everyone should be fighting to find out who designed your dress!

Neema

Not even a sex scandal could slow down this lass… And she was a gospel lass to boot! She would need someone to give her proper grounding though and she will soar like an eagle. That’s all she’d need because everything else about her is in place. The talent is undoubtedly there!

Ruth Matete

What can i say about Ruth? The lass dropped the ball if you ask me. She should have hit the ground running. She was my equivalent of Jennifer Hudson. She should have been aggressively markets! She should have been dropping hits not just leading Sunday morning worship. It would seem that for alot of this lot professional management and resources are a huge hindrance.

Miss Karun

This lass can sing. And her clean and innocent image is such an asset in a conservative country such as this. If i could, i’d market her as a prodigy. A musical and vocal prodigy. She should be the new age queen of the roost in as far as Kenyan entertainment is concerned.

Yvonne Darcq

This lass has the super model looks; legs that go for miles, that undeniable magnetism and an awesome voice to boot. If there were any recording companies in Kenya with clout, this lass would be their goose that lays the golden eggs! Her voice is so powerful that the only thing she lack is proper marketing. That push!

Mercy Myra

Mercy Myra is the Tina Turner of the lot of them. She was there to popularise Kenyan RnB but honestly has nothing substantial to show for it! She should have her name immortalised in the annals of Kenya’s Hall of Fame!

Atemi

This lady shouldn’t have anything to prove. She should just be making the glorified technical appearances. Nothing more. But if wishes were horses… i’d let her ride mine.
