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.
Please listen to her two new singles

Wat even enticed her into singin is wat still baffles mi.. was she sniffin' her normal dose of cokky when she signed d contract or was she lured wit d promise of gettn her some fresh weedz lol n now she must go singn by force!
Trikish Tre (TT) | 10/19/2012 9:42:05 AM |
my dear Tonto has a psychological problem to the extent that she doesn't know what to do with her time and life anymore.
Like what this man has said she thinks that being Controversial is the same as being famous she needs to take what he said into consideration when she dies the only thing ppl will remember her will be for will be for her controversy, her act of s.tudity especially on twitter
and above everything the fact that she doesn't know her limits she finds it difficult to except criticism that is why she keeps failing prehaps if she started learning how to take correction she will get better

Compared to Omotola and Stella, Tonto's attempt at singing is a parody. So it would be a waste talking about angels when the issues of mammals are up.

"O" | 10/19/2012 5:10:25 PMTonto's shenanigans are getting quite tedious but not redundant. And she's neither c***y nor insane. Yes, she's a very clued up individual who has analysed and figured out how to use the media to her advantage! It may not be working out presently as she might have expected, but will definitely get there sooner rather than later!

Why not concentrate on developing your own artistes and your directing skills which I think are not better than her acting?

Its obvious you have "bad belle" for this young girl and you didn't hide it at all. Tonto's music is not the worst in the industry and still they sell and hit our nightclubs. Why would people criticize her music so much. I am not a fan of Miss Dike but I know people criticize her music out of jelousy.
