A budding singer, Savy Henry, became the latest contestant to leave the Nigerian Idol Season 8 after he failed to secure enough votes from the viewers of the show last week.
In the preceding week, he wowed the audience when he performed Enrique Iglesias’ Hero, but his inability to garner more votes from the viewers let him down, failing to reach the top 5.
Speaking after his eviction, Savy Henry said his journey on the show was amazing and was happy to have made the top 6.
It would be recalled that Henry auditioned for Nigerian Idol season 7 but failed to make it into the live show.
With his eviction, Ose Daniel, Victory Gbakara, Goodness, Precious Mac and Quest emerged as the top 5 contestants of the season, and they produced some exceptional performances on the special episode themed Showstopper.
Precious Mac performed Rockabye by Clean Bandit, Victory gave his rendition of Locked Out of Heaven by Bruno Mars, Goodness sang We Found Love by Rihanna, Ose Daniel performed Adekunle Gold’s High, while Quest rendered Freedom by Beyonce.
During the live show on Sunday, the anchor, IK Osakioduwa, disclosed that two contestants would be evicted this week to leave the top 3 to battle for the main prize.
They would be decided by viewers via their votes on Africa Magic website, mobile site, MyDStv or MyGOtv app. Voting closes Thursdays at 9 pm.
To enjoy Nigerian Idol and other amazing shows, viewers can download the MyDStv or MyGOtv app to reconnect, stay connected, and upgrade their subscriptions.
