This year, 16 musical hopefuls joined the academy looking to walk home with the prize money of 5million naira, a SUV and a recording contract, the 2nd, 3rd and 4th also have prizes to take home. For the past 8 weeks, we have watched these contestants get professional training by members of the Faculty which include voice coaching, song writing performances, mentoring by past winners and MTN brand ambassadors,etc.
They have also received accolades and constructive criticism from the judges on Nomination/ Elimination show. We have watched judges and Faculty disagree and sometimes agree on contestants performances.
We have said goodbye to some of our favourites as they got eliminated from the show making way for the 6 finalists. Gabbie, Lady J and L took a look at our top 6 contestants and also try to pick the winner of the show ( From our point of view of course). Let us also know your choice and what you think of the show so far.

#PFWA: ELIMINATION SHOW; End of the road for Simon and Jimoh

The eight contestants took to the stage to pay tribute to two Reggae legends. Isaac Gregory and Lucky Dube. They performed NIGHT NURSE by ISAAC GREGORY and DIFFERENT COLOURS/ONE PEOPLE by LUCKY DUBE.

Adora and Joseph called out the least five, Simon, Jimoh, Niniola, Immaculate and Roland. It wasn't a surprise to see Simon who enjoyed massiv support from audience/viewers in the past weeks. I think Bibi's comment played a role in it. But i was shocked to see Roland and Immaculate there.
Unfortunately, Lady J isn't available today, she'll be back as soon as possible.

#PFWA: Elimination night... Goodbye Leonard and Oluchi.

#PFWA: LIGHTS, CAMERA, ACTION & MUSIC: MTN Project Fame West Africa 6.0 kicks off in style

The MTN Project Fame 6.0 opening gala was all it promised to be - exciting, fun-filled with laughter and most of all, provided a chance for promising new talents to get into the Academy.

The show was scheduled for 6pm and guests were to arrive before 5pm for cocktails, alcoholic drinks (if you preferred that) and of course, finger foods. I got to Ultima Studios, the venue for the recording by 3:30pm - hours before the scheduled time - to do my registration and get tagged. Due to poor registration (as always in Nigeria) we had to wait outside longer than planned. They were no seats outside, and I hate the struggle life. As a proper 'omo eko', I hustled for 2 seats, for a friend and I.
