Who Said Autotune is Dead!!!

Well whoever said it (hem hem Mr Z..) I beg to differ,

T-Pain is definately gonna be killing it for 2010
He has taken a lot of stick, even had a funeral for his big ass chain, and apologosed to Jay - Z over the whole Death of the auto tune response thing..something i dont think he should have done..but hey..it is clear u cant really come up against Jay Z unless you are willing to take on the masons as well..thats whole nother blog..but as far as i can see this man single handley changed the way many many people make music not just with hip hop / r&b but cross genre. He's making great music and isnt that all that really matters?

This Tune is absolutley Massive!

Figa Out - Blush Comedy Jam Feb 09

Event: Blush Comedy Jam

Venue: SU bar Keddelston Road University February 09

Packed Hectic and Hyper Merriment! That’s how I would describe the Blush Comedy jam of February 09. Definitely worth every single hard earned credit crunched penny!

The luxurious and spacious S.U bar in Derby, set the ambiance and mood of the evening. An excellent turn out coupled with high energy tunes as guests entered the venue ensured that everyone was hyped and ‘up for a laugh’

I laughed so hard I nearly cried from the moment the show started till it finished 3 hours later. All aspects of the show were quality driven from the comedic acts through to the musical performances . It simply worked.

Victor Daniels was definitely the host with the most! No one including myself was safe from his unique sense of humour, and off the cuff jokes. Even those at the very back of the bar were pulled into the fun as some people actually got called on stage, they were brilliant sports.! It was A truly Interactive experience, with both comedians and musicians connecting with the audience and making everyone feel welcomed. We left feeling almost like a huge dysfunctional comedic family.

London’s J Wills also did a PA, and he honed in on an unsuspecting young lady and serenaded her beautifully making ladies in the audience swoon. His live rendition of his forth coming single Déjà vu was exceptionally received with whoops of glee from the audience. This young man is definitely a star to look out for in the future.

Littleman brought the house down immediately with his dancing as he entered to the old garage classic ‘littleman’ –it was a good choice. His renditions of back in the day young love and general funniness was met with the sounds of hysterical laughter. He is definitely set to be a comedic giant. Kevin Jay played up to the ‘white boy’ in a ethnic environment excellently! Mimicking different cultures brilliantly and more importantly convincingly! He does a mean Nigerian accent …

The evening flew by! Each comedian was special in the their own way. The legendary Felix Dexter did not disappoint and for me more than lived up to his reputation. He actually educated the audience and made some very funny and insightful observations.

I would most definitely recommend Blush Comedy Jam as an alternative night out.

Of course the icing on the cake was the sounds that accompanied the evening brought to you by the illustrious Blush DJ - yours truly aka Figa DJ.

The after party was simply of the hook. We Laughed Hard then Partied Harder! DJ Excell and Fire starter where on fire! (I made a quick appearance at this bit too).
