Tonto's Terrible Tremolo by Charles
Novia.
I have restrained myself for a couple of
years from commenting on Tonto Dike's
career after my last comments about
her role in the soft porn movie she acted
in two years back, were badly taken by
her and she went on twitter to hurl
infantile insults on my person with
expletives and uncomplimentary
remarks. My reaction to such then was
just a dignified silence. After all, I had
already spoken on her stunted talent as
an up and coming actress and further
comments on her incensed tweets were
unnecessary.

All through the past few hours, the social
media networks have been abuzz with the
new singles of actress, Tonto Dike. She seems
to have joined the actors of her ilk who have
the moonlighting itch to delve into singing.
While no one can stop such an ambition by
those artistes, I do think those who surround
such artistes are their worst enemies if they
can't tell them the truth about leaving their
sometimes doubtful day job. Well, I will! I
listened to Miss Dike's two singles a few
minutes ago and my initial speechlessness
morphed to a nagging laughter and then
subsided into a befuddled anguish. I'm a
music label owner (November Records) and
have produced and Executive Produced acts
like Majek Fashek, Terry tha Rapman, Zubby
Enebeli etc. I know much about music and
the slant of commercial music. But after
listening to Miss Dike's songs, I'm inclined to
align with the majorly negative comments
about them on cyberspace. Ah-ah! Whoever
produced her knew she has a bad voice for
singing and masked our listening torture with
the Autotune effect. But even the Autotune
rejected any attempt to make a bad voice
worse and Miss Dike came out sounding like
she was in mid-stream orgasm instead of
singing! Her anguished tremolos would have
been better reserved for a horror movie
sound effect than an attempt at joining the
revered profession of music. If Omotola got
away with her last two terrible attempts at
singing, it was because Omotola is a fantastic
actress and her fans could forgive her
musical failings after backtracking her body
of work in Nollywood. With Tonto, I can't say
much either for her acting depth. She's a
one-dimensional actress in my opinion, who
mistakes notoriety for fame. She needs more
training in acting and this I say with all sense
of professionalism as a movie Director. She
might achieve greater heights in acting if she
trains more. But she has no heights to
achieve in singing. Only a downward plunge,
the stuff bad endings in movies are made of.
