Salone out of Project Fame West Africa
Joecelia Gbondo, Sierra Leone’s representative at the ongoing ‘Project Fame West Africa’ star search, faced elimination last weekend after she was voted out of the Academy by her colleagues.
On the night she came from probation, Gbondo performed Bonny Mac’s ‘Baby Let Me Love You,’ which was reportedly described by the faculty as her most ‘mature performance.’
Before performing her parting song, Gbondo said she feels normal leaving the academy. She thanked her colleagues and MTN for giving her the opportunity to showcase herself. She urged all to look out for her.
In all her previous performances Gbondo didn’t seem comfortable with her body language. The judges repeatedly praised her voice but urged her to harmonise that with her emotions on stage. Pundits back home say Gbondo looked lonely, and lacked the necessary support that should have further motivated her confidence.
Project Fame –West Africa is an annual event that searches and exposes talents in the West African region.
Born in the 80’s Joecelia was inspired into singing by Madonna and Rihanna, but she actually nurtured her talent in her church choir. She studied music in secondary school and her passion led her to win many prizes during inter school music competitions.
Her breakthrough came in 2007-2008 when she emerged the star in the ‘Make Me A Star’ competition organised by the contemporary godfather of Sierra Leone music, Jimmy B.
Meanwhile, Jamal Conteh a representative of Project Fame West Africa registered his frustration to SaloneJamboree.com immediately after Gbondo was evicted. Conteh said the mobile companies, apart from Comium, were not instrumental to help Gbondo get more votes from her homeland.
