The very first
elimination show for the season started in a grand style with group
performances from the contestants.
While the Female
contestants did a beautiful ensemble of 'Don't Let Go' by En Vogue and the boys
taking up the challenge with Backstreet boys’ 'Don't Leave Me'.
As Joseph Benjamin
unavoidably absent on the show, Adora seamlessly hosted the show and introduced
the fifteen (15) contestantswhose fate in the Academy would be determined on
the show.
With rising
perspirations, Adora invited Yeside Oredugba of Alexander Forbes who came
prepared to present the list of the five (5) contestants
with the least
number of votes and who would have to perform their way out of the claws of
probation.
So, the contest
took a different dimension as Joshua, Tega, Edward, Oyinkansade, and Chinyere
took up the task of proving themselves in the face of elimination.
They repeated the
songs they sang at their last performance, but this time around the fighting
spirit in them came to bear
as they all did
their best with Joshua doing 'You go kill me o', Tega again performing Wizkid's
'Love My Baby', Edward did Tu Face's 'African Queen', Oyinkansade-As You See Me
So also by Tu Face and finally for the evening with a loud ovation from the
audience, Chinyere nailed Asa's 'Fire On The Mountain'.
The judgement time
came and these contestants were arraigned before the judges. Based on their
performances, the judges without doubts saved Chinyere, faculty saved
joshua and
Oyinkasande narrowly escaped elimination with the other contestants' votes
leaving Tega and Edward as eliminated.
When asked how
they felt about their eviction, they individually confessed that though it's
painful to leave at this point but
they are grateful
to God for making it this far and their gratitude goes to the Faculty for
bringing out the best in them. Edward especially thanked God for making it here
finally after trying out in four previous seasons, guess he will go back to
Sierra Leone a fulfilled man.
With thirteen
contestants left in the Academy, the race toughens...Who is going to go next...
your votes decide....
