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.
