After months of intense searching, the curtains have drawn on the first phase of Nigeria’s biggest music reality show, Nigerian Idol. The last two days of auditions saw the show hit the bottomless talent pools of Benin city and Lagos giving fans some of the most exciting auditions of the show yet. And now auditions are over, the tension is building as Idol moves to the next stage of the competition that is always make or break for many hopefuls—the elimination rounds.
“The competition is beginning to unfold as the best of the lot go head to head,” said Tiwa Medubi, the Nigerian Idol project manager. “The grit and tenacity that the contestants show is unbelievable and you cannot help but watch to see what happens next. These contestants leave absolutely nothing to chance; they believe that they are the next Nigerian Idol and it is just spectacular to watch and listen to them all give it their best shot.”
