Here’s why Nigerian Idol Season 10 is the most iconic yet:
With Ric Hassani, Iyanya, and Omawumi at the helm, contestants are getting top-tier feedback from industry powerhouses who know exactly what it takes to succeed. Together, they reflect the diversity and depth of Nigeria’s music scene, offering contestants real insight and fans authentic, engaging commentary.
This season’s lineup of guest judges has been nothing short of brilliant, adding a fresh wave of excitement and unpredictability to the competition. From industry icons to contemporary stars, each guest brought their A-game, offering sharp critiques and meaningful insights that kept both contestants and viewers fully engaged.
This year’s contestants didn’t come to play. Each singer has brought something unique, from soulful storytelling to daring vocal runs. Week after week, they have proven they are not just talented singers but full-fledged performers in the making.
From Blockbuster Night and Naija Music Night to Classic throwbacks, each theme has tested vocal range, performance versatility, and emotional delivery, and the contestants have risen to every occasion.
The stage design, lighting, wardrobe, and sound have all been elevated this season. Each episode feels cinematic, with aesthetics that heighten the drama and magic of every performance.
From heartfelt contestant stories to emotional eliminations, Season 10 has been a rollercoaster. We have seen contestants cry on stage, receive surprise hugs from their families, and earn standing ovations that left everyone in awe, including viewers at home.
Nigerian Idol Season 10 is dominating online conversations every Sunday. The conversations around each episode are massive, from viral clips on TikTok to trending moments on X and YouTube. The fandoms are real, loud, and loyal.
This year’s talent pool has been exceptional, bold, expressive, and competitive. With live bands, backup dancers, stunning visuals, and slick choreography, some of these performances wouldn’t look out of place on the main stage of a music award show.
Ik’s experience shines through every episode. He balances humour with heart, knows how to comfort a teary contestant, and can flip the energy with one witty line. His presence anchors the show and makes every reveal, especially eliminations, feel both intense and human.
There’s something different about this season; you can feel the hunger of the contestants. They are more focused, the judges are more invested, and the fans are more vocal than ever. Nigerian Idol won’t only crown a winner but shape the next generation of stars.
