[quote author=ssc board=1 thread=5508 post=45012 time=1335035677] I wouldn't call this struggling..
Real fans of Werra know that Werra ,Adolphe & Masela didn't find it easy building their band,they had no money,JB left with almost everyone and everything and he was doing bigger shows at home and abroad with his new band just like Papa Wemba advised him whilst Werra and company were still playing low level shows in Kin,it took time to put things together before all these shows you're seeing as ''Premiere concert du Wenge Musica Maison Mere'' could even take place.
...what a pity; JB thought he was the iceburg to sink the Titan...on the other hand it takes time and wiz to build a winning team.
the reason why young and upcoming look-up to Werra and will always line-up to audition @Zamba...
No,they queue up because they know at Maison Mere people don't stay so there are always vacancies!
...the point is not to fill up the stage and yell sultan son of man ; but rather to put the best on it. so you'll have to earn and maintain your spot; remember the boss is a perfectionist

Kaisari, You make a very compelling argument, if I were an upcoming artist I'd knock on Werra's door rather than JB's but Werra's "added-value" is debatable as I would already be an accomplished singer or instrumentalist! Showing Cus & Iron Mike was a good ploy!!!
ps:how do i add a signature pic?eg how did fpk add franco & pepe kalle?

showcasing Cus and Iron Mike was to stress the point that the latter was never the same after Cus left us. The same can be said about the other Mike; no Phil no 6 championships for Jordan even though they both will swear to be talented and accomplished athletes. Show me highlights of Cus and or Phil as athletes and it would be nowhere near both Mikes but yet they added value to the two champs. As for the signature pics I would refer you to the best trainer, Yemima.

The fact is the titanic went down the day Masela and Adolfe Left WMM......during captain Adolfe and Masela, it was sinking slowly. No wonder you will never get beautiful songs like Koffi Ayana, Chantal Switz, Tete Tumba from Werrason.......those real Werrason fans know this fact very well.
JB Mpiana on the other hand is not the same as the days he had Makaba but his small boat has not sunk at least we can get good songs like Zadio, Francis Solution, Bea Zodeguem......all songs which have a Wenge touch...
I am not disputing the fact that WMM is good at concerts and performance but if you objectively look at the flow of their music, JB Mpiana is better. Kindly listen to generiques like Mpunda...although spoilt by inadequacy in sound, the song is good.

Kaisari, Point of correction:the old professor didn't leave but rather passed away before Mike became world champ! Nevertheless,you're right in that Iron Mike lost direction once the old man was gone and things worsened for Tyson after he disrespected Cus's proteges:Teddy Atlas & Kevin Rooney -the very same people who gave him the belts!!
Though I remain an ardent JBphile,I appreciate your point about artists shining while under the tutelage of Werra only to go in obscurity once they leave or are forced out of WMM.
Anyway,let's just enjoy the music coz all the artists work hard to entertain us!

All these people you've mentioned started elsewhere J3 was with Tonya Tonya,JDT Mulopwe was with Wenge El Paris and so on,they all just pass through Maison Mere.

...Whats not beautiful about these songs...
What is not beautiful is that they do not sound like the songs he sung with Adolfe, Masela etc with the help of Japonaise's Wenge Musica adopted solo (sebene) part of slow songs. Werrason abandoned that style after Solola Bien to sound differently from BCBG. If you take for instance JB, even after Makaba left, Ficare and Patou still give us such sebene.
In his most recent auditions, Werrason recruited a new animatuer called Mafuta Grenade...The guy impressed all the WMM top hierarch and the fans who attended the auditions were so impressed. He is the closest to Bill in my opinion but not a photocopy as Bill puts it. He has his own style and reminds me of young Bill Clinton. He is a good dancer too! He flows. Werra should pair this guy with Diego and Brigade with Lobeso.
He doesnt need hundreds of Atalukus. Four in my opinion are ok. Lobeso doesnt have a good voive but the guy is craetive. Brigade is the face of WMM's animations and has proven he is capable. He combine well with Lobeso. He has shown he can thrive without trying to sound like Bill.
Yes and that's why you should accept that Werra cannot train anyone to sing coz he can't sing himself,he's got a good ear to pick the best that's all,anyone can do that,it's money which ''talks'' even you Kaisari can assemble a band and recruit good singers and instrumentalists,it's that easy when you've got money.
