The show producers say that as a means of paying tribute to the late
king of pop, the contestants will on Sunday perform select songs from
Michael Jackson’s rich collection.
Since the show entered its final leg, the contestants have followed
different themes for their performances. From disco to Movie Soundtrack
to Abba, and now Michael Jackson, the producers say this is not the end
as plans are in motion for a full week dedicated to African music!
“It’s
been such a privilege being a judge on the show, and I really look
forward to seeing the contestants perform Michael Jackson’s songs this
weekend, I really can’t wait” Jeffery Daniel who was a mentor and choreographer to Michael says
Obviously the highlight of the evening will be when Jeffery mounts the stage to do the world- famous moon walk!
In
a short frame of three weeks, six contestants with the lowest public
votes have been eliminated from the contest and as the show gets hotter,
the reality is beginning to dawn on contestants that if they don’t sit
up, eviction is inevitable.
Just
like the premise of the original show Pop Idol, Nigerian Idol is a
television reality show with a nation-wide search for Nigeria’s next
solo superstar, which will offer one young hopeful the opportunity that
raw talented singers have until now, only dreamed of. Nigerian Idol aims
to find the best singer in the country who can be defined as the
“National” singer, and International Artiste. One contestant will win a
top quality management deal and a recording contract with an
international record label, setting them on the path to stardom.
The
stiff competition this year began with ten thousand contestants
slugging it out for a grand prize of 7.5 Million Naira, a car and a
record deal with Sony BMG.
