With weeks of
shattered dreams for a lot of contestants and a few closer to their dreams of
becoming the next music sensation, last week saw the last set of 3 contestants
qualify for the Top 12 round of the Etisalat Sponsored Nigerian Idol.
12 contestants were
recalled for the Wildcard round, and the judges had the responsibility of
picking the best 3 contestants to make it to the Top 12.
All the recalled
contestants gave their all to impress the judges, but Pscholes, Modele and
Sther emerged victorious. However, the Judges placed Preye and Precious as
stand-by contestants, as they both impressed the judging trio.
In an unexpected
twist of fate, Tama Nisa, a contestant that had scaled through to the top 12
two weeks ago, decided that she would be leaving the competition due to health
reasons. This opened up a free spot in the top 12 and the judges decided to
give it to Classiq Tunez after his riveting rendition of Robbie Williams’ ‘Angels’.
Manager, Youth
Segment, Etisalat Nigeria, Idiare Atimomo said “The Nigerian voters and Judges
have made their decisions and they have kept faith with their favorite
contestants. We are happy with their favorites and confident that they will not
disappoint.’’
So there you have
it folks! The contestants who have made it thus far to the top-12 stage include
Preye, Prime, Dolu, Brenda, Nex 2 and Classiq Tunez. Others are Ayoka, K-Peace, Uloma, Pscholes,
Modele and Sther.
The show is heating
up and it is clear that the grand prize is up for grabs for one of these lucky
twelve.
This season’s
winner will go home with N7.5 million cash, a brand new car and a recording
deal with Universal Music Company worth N7.5 million, among other prizes.
