Winky D did it again! The dancehall chanter has a history of outclassing international acts and he was in the same spirit on Saturday when he outshined Jamaican artist Beenie Man at Alexandra Sports Club. Winky D proved his prowess as he managed to put up a top-drawer performance. Donning a red leather outfit, Winky D made a grand entrance with “Mudhara Vauya” which drove the fully-packed ground crowd into a frenzy.
He then dished out some of his hit songs both new and old such as “Bhebhi Rinobhowa”, “Not Nice”, “Photo-Life’, “Controversy”, “Disappear” and “Musarova Bigman” among others.
What made him steal the show again? He managed to interact with the crowd and could explain the next song he was about to sing, preparing fans for the next hit of his playlist.
The dreadlocked musician later did his rendition of English writer, Ed Sheraan’s song, “Shape of You” and sealed his dominance of the night.
Although he had warmed up the stage for Bennie Man, he set the bar too high for the Jamaican artiste.
Bennie Man, who was clad in an African piece suit, did injustice to the fans as his performance was poor.
The “Girls Dem Sugar” hit-maker, who began his act up with a freestyle track on Zimbabwe, could not maintain the happy mood in the crowd that was shocked by his dull performance.
It seems people still had the memories of his 2010 show when he performed in Harare and left lasting impressions.
They were expecting the same act, but this time it was all disappointment.
Beenie Man failed to rekindle his relationship with his long-time fans.
