Entertainment

Entertainment is described by the Oxford dictionary as "an action of providing or being provided with amusement or enjoyment." It also went further to describe it as "the action of receiving a guest or guests and providing them with food or drinks". These definitions clearly explains what entertainment is but i will further explainit to includes anything that brings joyto the heart and most time bring smiles to the face of a person or can cause laughing and happiness.

When we mention the word entertainment, people are quick to drift their minds towards music. It is true music is a form of entertainment but its actually not tge only form, just like football is not the only form of sports. It spreads wide into acting, comedy, dancing etc.

In this article, I will narrow it down to just our music and movie industries. Lets take for instance, in Africa today its no news that the quality of works put out by most of our A-list artists are substandard when it comes to content. Most times we find some of our favorite acts, especially musical artists, putting out records that are different from what we knew them for. Don't get me wrong, change is essential because "variety they say is the spice of life" and I'm in no opposition to that, but the big question attached to change is: "Do I really need to change into this? Is it better than the place i was before?" If the answers are no then forget it.

We havev lots of artists, producers, directors and actors but only a few have been consistent, determined and dedicated to putting out good works for their fans as well as critics. But don't you think there's something making almost all the big names in the industry switch up when they get the fame? Oh well, i think so.

The truth is, these entertainers don't just wakeup in the morning and decide to switch up, because I don't think any person will like to stop chasing their dreams or sell themselves short especially when they are already at the top. We complain alot about crappy songs and movies in the industry, but nothing is going to change unless we the audience begin to entertain our entertainers.

Thank you all for reading. This is all for today. Have a good day all. And be safe.
