The final contestants on the Nigerian Idol show are out to make a mark in entertainment. The last show, which was themed, The American Legend Show’, witnessed the six finalists perform hits from American stars through the years — Elvis Presley, Donna Summer and lots more. It was a night of excitement.
Nigerians are excited at this too. According to Tiwa Medubi, the show’s project manager, the response is awesome. He said, “the massive popularity of Nigerian Idol continues to astound us. We are receiving feedback everywhere in the world.”
To set the ball rolling was Najite El-David, aka, Najite. Age 25, she is said to have begun to sing at five. With a dream to have her name as a household brand when she becomes an artiste, the friendly and down- to- earth girl is the one to beat. There is no doubt she is one of viewers’ choice what with the manner she rendered Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Diana Ross. The performance turned out to be her most powerful yet. Even the judges paid compliments.
Next was Stephen Onochie, 26, with a heart-warming performance of Bette Midler’s ‘Wind Beneath My Wings. His performance was impressive. Stephen hails from Delta State and is no stranger to a musical competition reality show. He has previously attended several musical competitions.
Lynda Giami, rendered Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got to Do With It? Her performance was not a surprise judging from the fact that the 23-year-old comes from a family of musicians.
Joe Blue must really want to become Nigeria’s Idol. He performed Cher’s Believe and even sprayed the audience with pixie dust. The Akwa Ibom born is said to love mixing his music with other forms of performing arts as well as fashion.
Mercy Chinwo, 20, said her inspiration came from her father and since his death about five years ago, she had taken her music more serious than ever. She performed excellently Donna Summer’s She Works Hard For The Money. With her stunning black dress, charisma and strong vocals, she left the audience stunned.
Honey Adum, 27, performed Elvis Presley’s Fever. The passionate self-tutored guitarist is into interior decoration and the show has been an exposure for him and he intends to take full advantage of it. The Abuja-bred looks up to the likes of Wyclef Jean and Lagbaja as role models as he intends to be an Afro-soul singer.
As the Etisalat-sponsored show continues to grow in popularity, Nigerians wait in bated breath who emerges winner come April.
