Singer Pia Pounds found herself at the center of attention when comments made by media personality Eddie Ssendi during his YouTube talk show struck a nerve. He openly expressed disappointment with Pia’s recent stage performance of her hit song “Tupaate” at the Neyanziza Concert. He claimed that while she might shine with her looks, her vocals fell short, suggesting that she needs serious vocal training and more stage rehearsal.
Pia, known for her vibrant energy and distinctive style, responded in a series of heartfelt posts on Twitter, now X, candidly sharing her feelings. She admitted that Ssendi’s comments hurt her deeply, not just because they were critical, but because they came from someone whose opinion she had always respected. The words echoed within her—wounding, yet pushing her to introspect.
Instead of retaliating or showing bitterness, Pia chose to take the high road. She shared her understanding of the many factors that can affect a live performance. In her posts, Pia explained how being on a big stage can sometimes overwhelm an artist; the sound can be overpowering, with instruments drowning out the vocals. This struggle often leads to vocal strain, something even seasoned artists can fall victim to.
While acknowledging her shortcomings, Pia was determined to take this criticism constructively. She vowed to work on herself, to train harder, and to make her performances shine not only visually but vocally as well. Pia’s story became more than just a response to criticism—it turned into a message about resilience and growth, showcasing the grace with which she intends to improve, not just as a performer, but as an artist committed to her craft.
