It was a day of mixed
feelings, tension and surprises, as the first three contestants to make it to
the Top 12 in the Etisalat-sponsored Nigerian Idol season 4, were chosen by
viewers. The lucky three: Lisa Omoregebe, Jesse Okonkwo and popular Elvis
Ejiro, were among the first group of 10 who slugged it out last weekend during
the first Top 30 stage performance.
The results of the
first voting stage however left judges Dare, Nneka and Dede shocked at the
audience’s decision to vote out some of the contestants they saw as promising
talents.
Reacting on behalf of
the judges on the evicted contestants, one of the Judges, Nneka Egbuna, said
that the eviction of some of the contestant is the biggest surprise she has
witnessed so far on the show. “Frankly speaking, I am very surprised with the
result of the votes gathered. I am really shocked seeing some real good contestants
leaving the show today because they got few votes. We will do all we can to
bring some of them back using our wild card.”
Nneka went on to charge the audience to vote for their
favourite talent as this is a critical stage for the contestants.
The second set of 10 contestants in the top 30 stage
performed on Sunday. There were impressive performances from Jahtell, Eye-D,
Shola, Henry Mc-John, Nex2, Xolani, Joy, Victoria, Dawn and Miss Oge. The
judges spared no words as they urged the performers to exercise more enthusiasm
and stop “playing safe” with their performance, commending Eye-D, Henry,
Xolani, Victoria and Jahtell for an impressive performance.
Now that ten more contestants in the top 30 group have sung
for the world to judge their talents, the decision on which 3 moves to the next
stage is left for viewers to decide. To vote, viewers simply need to dial the
number of their favourite contestant on an Etisalat line or send the
contestant’s number to 33680 via SMS.
