I called it last year that there’s conditions to be met in order to be eligible to perform in stade de France, hence he kept playing back to back concerts and U arena was the final stage
You did say that and it's true looking back.

lol is sebene not a part of the genre? At least give me something. I understand the state the genre is in, that’s why my standards and expectations have dropped significantly. But just 5 minutes of sebene wouldn’t be bad these days but he cant even do that! If you go back to his concerts even in 2018, there was something at least. It feels like I’m watching a concert from a different genre these days

Again I don't know what you've been watching because he does play a lot of sebene in his concerts. I'm not saying every single one of his concerts are amazing far from it but you're just exaggerating by saying he doesn't play live sebene because he does. He even gave you a sebene song in formule 7 titled Zany and added Sebene at the end of 207 which is more then the rest of his colleagues in his generation have done and yet you're still complaining loool

You're not lying lol to say he doesn't give 5 minutes of sebene is crazy and just a flat out lie. U Arena was great and I'm sure this concert will be great. Like JV said a while back He put more effort in U Arena and Wembley because he had to with the Belgium and Lyon ones not so much because he had nothing to prove in those cities but he had to strengthen his CV to be able to perform in Stade de France

I know about those tracks and those were ok, but they weren't as good and memorable as the seben/generiques he did a decade prior. Concert-wise, his sebene is subpar if not nonexistent compared to his peers such as Ferre. He has the catalog and talent to do it but he just doesn't do it. I have no problems with him as a rhumba artist, my only critique of him is the sebene.  If I'm missing something, please point out the recent concerts where he does perform decent sebene.

The Debate will end here, after his Stade de France. as the Greatest of all time to have come out of Congolese music in the last 30 years and the Goat of Anglophone-Francophone Africa.

This is a debate that will never end...on this forum we all have our favourites and will defend them even if they produce shit............even on this thread alone you can see people who wait for you to say anything about Fally and they defend without logic or facts. They can never see anything wrong in him. So you will never convince them that of late Fally has degenerated(which is also a subjective opinion). That goes for fans of the other artists as well. They will always defend their favourites even without facts. An example is the recent argument about Ferre-Werra beef. 90% of members here dislike Werra, and even where there is evidence that Ferre may have also contributed to the beef, maybe more than Werra, they will always spin it to look like Werra the 'vieux Jaloux', is the aggressor. Then we have the 'paid activists who fuel the beef. in the Congolese music scene and even in this forum. When evidence points in a certain direction, you will see them pull interviews or rumors that will steer the debate to paint the other party badly. Once you realize that, you will know how these streets work.

It’s a great initiative and good for our music. However, it’s surprising to see him schedule it for the first week of May, while most events at Stade des Martyrs usually take place in June. Did he do it because everyone will be focused on the World Cup at that time ? Is it that the stadium being cheaper to rent in that period ? Because I saw Ninho also doing his double Stade de France in the first week of May. Or is it that Fally has also the ambition to perform at King Baudoin Stadium in Brussels showly after Stade de France ? planning it for july 2026 and wanting to use the same trick he did at U-Arena, by coming with a short-show to lure people to ING Arena, which he announced the following day ?

I remember Fally in 2009, just after the release of Arsenal des Belles Melodies, that he on skyblog wrote down his objectives. Having already done Olympia, he wrote down that he would do Zenith, then Bercy and also Stade de France, but Stade de France having a question mark. Back then, I believed that Zénith de Paris and Vercy were feasible for him, but not Stade de FRance. I thought that he was crazy and way too ambitious and I neverb eleived he would ever reach the level of fame needed to fill 50%. But look at him today. All what I can say to him is good luck. Fally should normally receive a medal for all thing he had done for our music, like the way Franco, Tabu Ley, Simaro, Papa Wemba, Koffi Olomidé, Emeneya and co all received.

Burna Boy didn’t sell out the Stade de France. Different African Instagram pages were praising him for performing there and claiming that he had sold it out, along with some YouTube videos, but in reality he didn’t. French-speaking people who were at the event shared videos on TikTok and Snapchat showing empty seats and how the stage had been pushed forward compared to when other artists perform there. As further proof, the official page of the Stade de France never shared a picture to congratulate Burna Boy, while they did so when rapper Ninho sold it out two days in a row, when Maître Gims performed there and for many other artists. The truth is that English-speaking Africans dominate social media and show more solidarity. Because if Burna Boy had been Congolese, Ivorian or Cameroonian, you would have seen multiple videos with titles claiming that he had failed.

Right after the event, a debate immediately started among French-speaking youngsters about whether Fally could do better or not. Most were backing Fally, while others argued it would be too much for him and that he isn’t at the same level as Burna Boy, given the difficulties Burna Boy faced. But those backing Fally  insisted that people shouldn’t underestimate his strength and the power of the Congolese diaspora in France

No artist will ever sell out a venue for 100%. You can sell 100% of the tickets you have but at the end could only come 90% to the stadium. Because 10% won’t ome anymore or some bought more tickets that they need because they wanted to resell it. This is the typical problem with american concert.
