Cina Soul tells Abiana: Shouting at Mentor auditionee was harsh
As a judge, Abiana shouted at the young auditionee to walk out when he started singing KiDi’s 'Mon Babe'
Ghanaian sensational singer, Cina Soul has criticised songwriter Abiana for ordering a young man off stage during the auditioning for the TV3 Mentor XI show.
As a judge, Abiana shouted at the auditionee to walk out when he started singing KiDi’s ‘Mon Babe’.
According to a section of the public, Abiana was dismissive of the young man who wanted to showcase his talent and to secure a spot in the competition.
Speaking on Asaase 99.5 Radio’s Between Hours show with Naa Ashorkor, the ‘Ojorley’ hit maker said, “I have also been to an audition before, and it was the scariest thing I have done in my entire life.”
“I can imagine the nerves that the boy took to that audition and sincerely that was a little too harsh,” Cina Soul added.
“There is a way to correct people and there is also a nicer way to say something,” she said. “Yes, she [Abiana] was employed to be a judge that you can give a good or bad criticism, but there is always a nice way to say something to just criticise someone.”
Abiana later explained that there was pressure on the judges to see to the over 500 candidates auditioning for the reality show.
