Hmm, after the cancellation of Peter Cetera and Rihanna concerts earlier in the year, I’m unsure if this is for real, but I have a friend who works with the Malay Mail saying that it is true. 8pm 2nd July 2009 @ Sunway Lagoon Beach for the Freedom Beach Concert.
Tickets are priced at RM88 (BEACH ZONE), RM138(ROCK ZONE) and the Pitt RM188(THE PITT) (all free standing). In conjunction with this concert, Marctensia will be holding a week-long exclusive early-bird nationwide sale from 1st June to 7th June for fans to enjoy 15% off discount.
I have a love-hate thing going on with Akon. Here is my song list for the bugger should this concert take place including average but endurable tunes, in no particular order.
1. Belly Dancer (Bananza)
2. Lonely
3. Sorry, Blame it on Me
4. Sweet Escape ft Gwen Stefani
5. Bring it On ft Daddy Yankee
6. Get Buck in Here with Diddy, Ludacris & Lil’ Jon
7. Sweetest Girl with Wyclef Jean, Lil Wayne & Nia
8. Keep You Much Longer
9. Beautiful ft Kardinal Offishall
10. Dangerous ft Kardinal Offishall
11. Wanna Be Startin’ Something 2008
12. Up & Down with Young Wonder
13. Hold My Hand ft Michael Jackson
14. Angel Eyes with Play N Skillz
15. Day Dreaming with DJ Drama, TI & Snoop Dogg
16. Just Go with Lionel Richie
17. Silver & Gold with Sway
18. Dreamgirl with Tay Dizm
19. Overtime with Ace Hood & T-Pain
20. All Up to You with Aventura, Wisin & Yandel
21. Teaser with Kardinal Offishall
NO NO NO!
1. Locked Up
2. Ghetto
3. Smack That ft Eminem
4. I Wanna Love You ft Snoop Dogg
5. Right Now (Na Na Na)
6. I’m So Paid
7. Don’t Matter
Hmmm, on second thoughts, I think I’ll skip this since virtually all of the songs on the playlist above are collaborations. Bottomline, Akon on his own, is a stinker. He has that voice that can be really annoying, but when he joins forces with other artists, it strikes a perfect equilibrium.
What’s your favorite and most hated Akon songs?
I have 3 favorites – Day Dreaming, Hold My Hand and Just Go. I have 3 scorned songs – Smack That, I Wanna Love You & Right Now (Na Na Na)

Akon reminds me of whinning weasel… His voice… I dunno why

that’s what people are looking for….the uniqueness of the voice….when they hear your songs….they know it’s you….
i like quite a number of akon’s songs….the melodies are so catchy…..and some melodies are just irritating….hehe

Actually Akon is rather good live. I am not a fan, because his songs can get so annoying, but I saw him when he last came to KL (free tics) and I was pretty impressed.

I’m guessing the concert was postponed also to mark respect to MJ. He couldn’t say that for fear of being sued by organizers.

I like Beautiful, Freedom, Keep You Much Longer and Belly Dancer. I totally dislike I Wanna F* You. He’s whiny, but not as teruk as Rihanna I think. And kinda refreshing to hear a Black guy singing pop songs (Not too hip hop or R&B)

marsha – I still dislike Akon, certainly a very annoying voice in music business. Good for you though.
