The Nigerian Idol Season 7 sponsored by Bigi is already creating tension as the voting for a spot on the Top 8 closes today, Thursday, April 7, 2022.
Last week, Gerrard could not make it to the Top 9, bringing an end to his journey on the show and dashing his hopes of going home with the N100 million worth of prizes, including a recording deal from a label, a brand-new Sports Utility Vehicle [SUV], cash prizes, and other exciting gifts, the winner was promised.
During the live show, Zadok, one of the contestants, thrilled the judges and the audience with a standing ovation in the third week of the talent discovery contest.
The Edo State-born Idol contestant, who had long desired a platform like the Nigerian Idol to showcase his musical prowess, stated that the show has been his long-nurtured ambition, having performed wonderfully with the song Wish Me by Timi Dakolo.
Indeed, other contestants also had an electrifying gig, as Banty who narrowly escaped eviction for the second time running took the judges and audience by surprise with her rendition of Michael Bolton’s Lean on Me, which proved to her fans that she deserves their vote to stay in the show.
Similarly, the intriguing performance by Banty led to praises from D’Banj, one of the judges, who appreciated her tenacity for being able to overcome the emotional trauma of her near eviction from the competition and wish her the very best in her race to stardom.
The contestants are begging viewers for votes to remain on the show and make it to the Top 8 this weekend.
The programme will air on Africa Magic Showcase (DStv Channel 151), Africa Magic Urban (DStv channel 153 and GOtv Supa Channel 6), and Africa Magic Family (DStv Channel 154 & GOtv Channel 2) this Sunday.
Meanwhile, the Brand Manager of Rite Foods, Ms Boluwatife Adedugbe, has revealed the secrets of the 13 Bigi variants mics at the Bigi Media Lounge of the Nigerian Idol.
“As the singers guzzle their favourite Bigi, their throat is soothed and refreshed for it to let out the natural gift of voice for great performances.
“So, as Bigi goes down the throat, the voice let out the song and our consumers continue to enjoy the great products and great performance from the musical talents,” she stated.
