Omah Lay should have catered to his audience
In an exclusive chat with Legit.ng, Abisola Alawode, a multimedia journalist and digital producer, shared his opinion on why Omah Lay's show in France flopped.
According to him, the singer probably did not do research on his audience.
In his words:
"You could argue that the audience did not know the song, hence the response, and what efforts did Omah Lay put into making sure the performance translates well to the crowd? This is not Eko hotel. It also boils down to the managemnet, how can you bring your artiste to a place and people won't follow through? Sometimes, performance takes more effort, if he had been more deliberate, it might have been different."
