Ghanaian Movie: The Perfect Picture

I just watched the famous Ghanaian Movie "The Perfect Picture".

I am very much impressed by the overall quality of the movie. The choice of songs is very good, the actors, including some of the most popular in Ghana at this moment (Jackie Appiah, Chris Attoh, KSM) are excellent.

The scene I enjoyed most is the one where the Doctor (KSM), advice the young couple to spice up their sexual life by doing unusual things like playing roles before making love. At the beginning of that scene, Chris Attoh has a look on his face that I could not understand.

To Shirley Frimpong-Manso and your team, you did a good job. Thumbs up. :)

"I AM NOT MARRIED, I’M STILL SINGLE "– EAZZY

News breaking from unknown sources and speculations on marriages amongst celebrities is no new phenomena but when it is accompanied by pictures, it becomes somewhat controversial, especially when some very trusted individuals confirm such stories.

 Unfortunately the recent outbreak of a story which indicated a secret marriage between Producer of the year, Richie and first and only lady of Lynx Entertainment Eazzy has been finally cleared out by the management of the record label as a total lie and a misrepresentation.

Speaking to C.E.O of Lynx Entertainment, Richie Mensah who was clearing the air, “The pictures are from a video we shot of Eazzy’s “One Gal” song which features me. We have remained silent this long because we didn’t want to disclose the concept of the video until it was almost ready but as it stands the video is nearly done and would be released soon”.

 In regards to these recent developments, Lynx Entertainment would want the general public to know that there was no such wedding and that the pictures were from a video shoot, they would also want to state that anybody who validated the story spoke for himself and is hence responsible for his words.

In a related development, the video promises to be a ground breaking one. The song, an exceptional masterpiece is my favorite on the Twinkle album. The song is receiving massive airplay and deserves its place. Eazzy spoke to Quame Junior and had this one thing to say “I have never been married, and I’m still as single as ever”.

REGGIE ROCKSTONE & GYEDU BLAY AMBOLLEY LEAD MUSICIANS TO SAVE A HEART AT MUSIC FESTIVAL

It was fun for funds at the Accra International Conference Center on Saturday when some of the finest music stars in Ghana including Tic Tac, Reggie Rockstone, Tinny, R2Bees, Praye and Gyedu Blay Ambolley poured their hearts out musically to support The Golden Heart Trust to raise funds to facilitate the well being of the teeming number of children with heart disorders.

Although the Dome wasn't packed to capacity on the night, the audience had a rollicking time as most of the artists gave off their best making it a night to remember not only as a fund raising night but a fun-filled one as well.

Tic Tac, the Ambassador of the Trust, gave revelers a good reason why he is goes by the signature phrase 'The Most Wanted” by churning out an eclectic collection of his crossover hits including Fe Fe Ne Fe as the crowd yearned for more. “Tic Tac rocks”, a member of the audience exclaimed in an interview after the show. Gyedu Blay gave off his best but took the crowd though his predictable arrangement of songs which seem to be almost the same at all events lately including Citti FM's MOGO concert.

When, founder of Hiplife, Reggie Rockstone mounted the stage, all pointed to the fact that show had reached its climax – his appearance, the flow, charisma and prowess blended to set the tone for an awesome performance that would linger on the memories of the patrons.

Former Joy FM Dj turned Pastor; Azigia Jnr was there with Doreen Andoh to anchor the charity show which organizers say could turn an annual event.

All net proceeds of the event are going towards heart surgeries for Ghanaian children suffering from a variety of serious heart conditions. According to the organizers, approximately 200 children in Ghana are diagnosed with heart disorders every year. The proceeds are yet to be announced.

To date, Golden Hearts Trust has sponsored the open heart surgeries of over 35 children. All surgeries take place at the National Cardiothoracic Centre. Linda Oppong and Josephine Boahemaa are kids who have so far benefited from the Trust, having successfully undergone open heart surgeries at the center.

YAA PONO’S 2011 “FILLA SONG”, THREATENS ASEM

Yaa Porno the uptown energy soldier from Pigen Music world has released a new single with direct fingers pointing to ASEM, the alleged rapper rapist in the music industry.

In the song, Yaa Porno made known that, from the very beginning of ASEM’s “Give me Blow”, the artiste from the lynx camp knew he was going to be rapping ladies.

Yaa also added that, ‘no wonder he said “Wobe da ntem” (Literal meaning you will sleep early), so when we sleep early you rape little girls’.

The uptown energy rap soldier called for the arrest of ASEM by the police or else he will rape all the ladies in Ghana.

Is funny how lyrics of musicians can tie them down, Yaa Porno who said he heard it in the news and is only giving his filla for 2011 just like how ASEM did in 2010, hence has nothing to do with the story formation.

Is this a case of laughter, revenge or a test to see how close our Ghanaian musicians are?
