The Nigerian Idol Season 10 is at its final stretch, with four contestants fighting to clinch the grand prize after surviving elimination scares.
The live show started some weeks ago with 10 budding music acts, but last Sunday, this number was trimmed to four after Brammy was sent packing by the audience.
The programme, sponsored by Bigi and others, was energetic last week because of the the contestants delivered powerful moments and emotional performances.
The top five contestants delivered two songs each, a dynamic blend of contemporary Nigerian hits and timeless Motown classics.
Purp kicked off the night with Free Fall by Tems, showing depth and vocal range. She later returned with an electrifying performance of Something’s Got a Hold on Me by Etta James.
Mikki followed with a smooth and heartfelt rendition of Commas by Ayra Starr, and later gave an emotional performance of I’ll Be There by The Jackson 5.
Lawrence brought presence and warmth with With You by Davido featuring Omah Lay, then turned up the funk with Superstition by Stevie Wonder. Raymu delivered passion and power with Love Me Jeje by Tems, and then moved the audience with a soulful take on End of the Road by Boyz II Men.
Earlier in the evening, the results revealed that Brammy, one of the season’s most beloved voices, would be leaving the competition. But in a heartfelt gesture, he was invited back to close the show, ending the night with a joyous and unforgettable performance of All Night Long by Lionel Richie. It was a vibrant farewell that lit up the stage and left fans emotional.
The show also welcomed music icon, 9ice, a judge from Season 9, who joined the panel as a special guest.
With Brammy’s departure and two weeks left for the judgement day, the remaining four contestants are now officially locked in and battle to claim this season’s glory.
The audience can continue to catch Nigerian Idol Season 10 every Sunday at 7 pm (WAT) on DStv Channel 196 and GOtv Channel 49.
