Prior to the unveil, the
question on everyone’s lips was: Who gets the Wild Card to
join the nine chosen from the Top 30 stage? Interestingly, even the judges
themselves made up of Femi Kuti, Yinka Davies and Jeffrey Daniels were at a
loss on who to pick. The reason, Daniels said, is the high quality of talent at
this season’s show, adding that this also influenced the decision to include
eight contestants instead of the usual six for the Wild Card stage of the
competition. “There was just too much talent to let go of,” he explained.
In the end, the trio of Abasiakan from Akwa Ibom state, Dani Angus from
Lagos, and Moses from Port Harcourt made it to the Top 12, while Modele,
Okeyjazz, Oweck and Micheal were evicted.
The
Wild Card votes which were audited by Alexander Forbes Consulting firm,
confirmed Abasiakan as the viewers’ choice, while the judges picked the duo of Dani
Angus and Moses.
The other
contestants who made it through to the final top 12 are Vicci from Port
Harcourt, Safeeyat from Abuja, Debie Rise from Owerri, Immaculate Victoria from
Lagos, Joe-Emma from Abuja, Kome from Port Harcourt, Efezino from Benin, Amara
from Owerri and Jay-Feel from Abuja.
The judges
encouraged the contestants who were evicted at the Wild Card stage to carry on
with their pursuit and to keep on training to better their chances in making a
successful music career

Etisalat shame on you and d organ isers. Take several seats and ,learn from mtn project fame. They help their contestants and season winners. Hook them up with relevant record labels. naija idols sound quality i wack and their back up singers so bad. Learn and improve so dat these talents can be heard and nutured. Slight improvement dis year sha !

ReplyDeletePls where is Esosa Cole?
ReplyDeleteIt is absolutely incredible that Nigerian entertainment industry which is running from pillar to post in search money to develop the industry can afford to part away with the some of $500,000,.00 to Kardashian. They were crying that the federal government did not redeem the money they promised them recently. Why are they throwing away such a sum for nothing. To me Kardashian does not worth that sum. If that amount is voted to develop the music industry it will go a long way. there are many artist looking for lesser amount to develop their music; the same people that parted with that amount will say there is no money. please us celebrate ourselves. Omotala is better than that girl. Let us stop wasting our God given wealth. Let us not continue to fill water to a pot that has already been filled (our local saying).
ReplyDeleteThey have raw talents here.I like efezino,moses and angus but the back up singers are just wack.they ruin the songs.
ReplyDeleteEfezino,moses and angus all the way.back up singers shld be gotten rid off
ReplyDeleteI Love you moses!!!! Moses all the way!
ReplyDeleteYinka Davies, why do you have to expose your breasts? Don't you know you are old and many young people see u as a role model? You were paid to be a judge (which you do not even do well) not to come and flash your boobs.
