The elimination show opened with Adora dazzling
in a well fitting Ankara dress and Joseph in an equally lovely black Pearl
button native outfit.
After a look at what went down last weekend and
what the contestants did during the week, it was time for the fateful event of
the night.
It has been a beautiful journey in the past five
weeks with ten contestants (including Ella-Wild Card entrant) left in the
Academy.
After last weekend's Classic African Night, the
contestants' fate as usual was determined by you the viewers' votes. And your
votes for the week landed, Musulyn, Chinyere, Sonia, Christian and Didi on
probation. And they had to sing their way to survive and escape the claws of
elimination.
So, one after the other they all came out to
perform the same songs they did last weekend. Musulyn-Angelique Kidjoe's
'Adouma', Chinyere-
Omawunmi's 'Love Nwantintin', Sonia despite her
ill health again did a good one with-Onyeka Onwenu's-'Dancing in the sun',
Christian again pulled a brilliant one with Sina Peters' 'Afro Juju' and
finally Didi performed Sir Rex Lawson's 'Adure'.
After thorough deliberations, the judges which
were Adebantu, Bibi Brew, TY Mix and Cobhams Asuquo (Guest Judge) saved
Musulyn, Faculty opted
for Christian. The other contestants took turns
to vote for their favourite, while Didi got three votes, Chinyere got one vote
but sadly this vote was not good enough to save her, thereby with Sonia
becoming the contestants not saved.
When asked to give their last words on stage; on
a sad note, Sonia appreciated everyone especially Mummy J who she said has been
more than a mother to her. 'I was healed here' was her conclusion. Chinyere on
the other hand without betraying emotions confessed she has enjoyed herself and
appreciated everyone for the votes and the platform she has been given, she
promised to build on it and be the best at whatever she does.
It's always so sad to say goodbye, but at one
time or the other, goodbye we must say. So on that note, we bid Sonia and
Chinyere farewell and they both did ‘Tell him’ by Barbara Streisand and Celine
Dion.
