Hi People, how is the week going so far? Remember the video I said I was trying to make 2 weeks ago? Well this is it below. It is my first Spoken Word video ever, so please, go easy on me o, lol.
The second video is the same Poem, but it was a live performance at the March edition of the Loud Thotz Open Poetry reading. I put it up because I remember promising that I would do better the second time around. So you guys can compare the second video to my performance here. Please, do not mind the weight loss, I already told you guys that I was ill am still recovering.
As for me, I prepare the made video to the live performance. Enjoy

Delete1) OMG, I shuddered while i was watching the first video! Very powerful images and soo apt. I remember Niran :( very sad. I also got goose while watching both vids.
ReplyDelete2) I could totally feel the passion in the second video. I think your hand was just hanging in some places but it's waaayyyy better than the last vid ;) good one Atilola.
1. Wow. So you know Niran? He was my colleague. Saw him the Friday before the weekend we got missing.
Delete2. Yes o, we get better as the day goes by. Thanks
Yea. I knew him from school. I still find it hard to believe
DeleteNow, I know the school you went to
DeleteYou have passion for what you do!
ReplyDeleteI had observed that from your posts, but seeing it live, convinced me.
Weldone sistah, more inspiration to your ink :D
Eeeya, thanks so much. I really appreciate the comment
DeleteI like the live version, very passionate. :)
ReplyDeleteReally? And see me thinking differently. Thanks
DeleteSuch passion..
ReplyDeleteI can't remember the last time i crammed and recited anything like this. Maybe secondary school..

Crammed ke? Lol. I didn't cram o, the poem was too long to cram joo. I was reading it out from the screen
Deleteits really a fallen world. those words are deep, very deep.
ReplyDeletewelldone
Yes it is. And sadly, we can't do anything about it.
Delete"this is not a consolation but a reality"... I LOVE this line! It's amazing how comforting faith in God can be in this troubled, fallen world
ReplyDeleteYes o. That line carries so much weight. Without it, we are hopeless. Thanks
DeleteOh yes, the words are dealt with so much passion, its infectious!
ReplyDeleteI appreciate poetic peoples much cos im just a dork when it comes to poems.
More grace sister!

ReplyDeleteThanks and thanks for dropping by
DeleteSo passionate! The words, the presentation, you just can't miss the feeling
ReplyDeleteReally? Wow. Glad you felt it. Thanks
DeleteYour passion certainly shines through. Live version any day.
ReplyDeleteThanks. So you prefer the live version
DeleteGreat performance......the first video gave a visual to your words making it more powerful because it gave a face to the destruction. One suggestion-lower the music so it’s just background acting as a backdrop to support you and allow the power of your voice and words to resonate and reverberate through the piece.
ReplyDeleteWell done sister xox
DeleteHmmmm. I will use the suggestion when I am making my next video. Thanks
DeleteThanks for always stopping by my blog, you delivered a great performance and I loved it. xoxo
ReplyDeleteAww thanks so much. I appreciate
DeleteWonderful performance.

ReplyDeleteWow, I thought the live performance was emotional until I watched the first one. Beautiful words Miss, beautiful. And for the live performance, I see you made use of hand movements, and such. Very good.
ReplyDeleteReally? Aww thanks so much for the encouraging comment
DeleteWow! The renditions were awesome! The first one actually blew me away, with the graphics, the sounds and the powerful lines. Felt like I was watching a live documentary. Gurl, you made sense . . . and the second rendition was definitely a massive improvement on the other one you posted some time ago. Thumbs up, sis!
ReplyDeleteYaaaayyyy, thanks o. We have no choice but to keep getting better
DeleteITS DEEP..... VERY DEEP.
ReplyDeleteAMAZINGLY DEEP.
THAT ALL I CAN SAY...
