TGMA 2025: Two 'flopped' performances that got social media talking

The just-ended 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs) has become the talk of the town, with music lovers and entertainment critics sharing their opinions across social media platforms.

The article from GhanaWeb discusses two performances at the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA) 2025 that became topics of discussion on social media due to their perceived shortcomings. The first performance was by singer Efya, whose rendition of her hit song was criticized for being off-key and lacking the energy expected from a live performance. Social media users expressed disappointment, with many suggesting that she needed more practice or better vocal coaching. The second performance highlighted was by the dance group DWP Academy, whose routine was described as uncoordinated and failing to meet the high standards they had set in previous shows. Netizens on platforms like X (formerly Twitter) and Instagram were vocal about their dissatisfaction, with some calling for better preparation and choreography in future performances. Both incidents sparked debates about the importance of thorough rehearsals and the pressure of live performances at major events like the TGMA.
