For this performance, we sang YOU GOT ME BY THE ROOTS. In my opinion, this performance wasn’t our best and we need lots of practice because each of us need to improve our parts. For example, I need to learn the lyrics to the song and to sing at the same time as they play. I also need to learn the melody when the female singer is rapping but mostly I need to learn how to pronounce the lyrics and I need to make sure I won’t forget them or sing my part wrong. Additionally, as a band, we need to all learn our individual parts but mostly make sure they all fit and we all play and sing with the right timing. To achieve we need to practice a lot and learn how to work together as a group.
After Rahkeem left we changed the song and cut out nearly half of the lyrics this was because we didn’t have a replacement for a rapper. During these weeks it was very hard for us to add something new to the song and therefore I decided to improvise on the chorus and only sang my rap part with it.
