Blu3 Burn in the Basement
MY mum doesn’t know how I do it,” Lilian Mbabazi told excited fans who turned up at the Club Beer-City Beat party at the Basement Discotheque on Friday. Only those who attended the party got the feel of what a Big Brother Africa house with the three girls would be like.
It is not clear whether any of them would shower before the cameras, since they are not comfortable with the shower hour. But Lilian stated it clearly that she would not have sex. “Not when my mum is watching because she does not know how I do it.”
Although Lilian’s mum may not know how she does it, Lilian, Cindy and Jackie showed their lucky fans how they do it. Instead of the fans getting to them, they got to the fans. That is how Jackie easily convinced the City Beat editor, Kalungi Kabuye, to get down to the dance floor.
Each of the girls revealed how they deal with the rumour mill, understanding that it is only the stars that are talked about.
But Jackie, who was once married seven times in the seven days of the week, went straight to the point. “Sometimes, those stories touch your soft spot,” she told her fans. And from then, the girls touched everyone’s soft spot, finally leaving the stage to mingle with their fans.
Jackie and Cindi would be the surprises since they cannot predict their actions. For a time, the girls did not mind the audience as they argued amongst themselves on a number of issues. But that is how it has always been with them.
There were also disagreements amongst the winners. When asked who of the three is best, there were as many varied answers as the girls.
The lively chats went on until Cindi’s interruption when she revealed the lowest moment in her career. “It was during the second album launch. I was on stage and all of a sudden I started missing my dad who died when I was only two. While on stage, I just moved towards Jackie and squeezed her hand,” she emotionally told a motionless audience.
In performance, they brought the old and new. With the old, you would not help feeling guilty at the fact that we did not reward the group with any award, while the Kenyans were offering them two awards. When joined by Chagga on Ndibeera Nawe, it brought the lady fans to the forefront, chanting away to the end. Against the very musical backdrop of CDs, the Nsanyuka Nawe rendition was more for the ears (listening) than waists (dancing).
The winners took home Nile Breweries goodies, Blu*3’s Burrn autographed CDs and posters.
