She is okay but not as wonderful as people think she is. I feel that instead of pleasing her crowd, she is only in it for herself. I used to be a fan but quickly realized that her music doesnt deliver and at the end of the night i feel like i was cheated.</p> <p>Not to mention- who doesnt have music that is extremely popular and is requested by several different people at several different times during the night? Especially when that song was requested 2 weeks prior to an event.</p> <p>then there is her ridiculously annoying mic speeches that are intolerable as is her attitude. If you are going to spit and scream on a mic- then at least have something worthwhile to say.</p> <p>heres an example of what i heard last night: "If you dont know, then you dont know. But if you do know than you know. And nobody knows what i know. Because what i know is what i know and if you know then you know. But if you dont know, then you dont. But i know what i know. ya know?"</p> <p>She annoys me and she spits when she talks!</p> I have to say in my honest opinion that DJ Rekha is not that great.
