Following the conclusion of votes last
Wednesday, the first three contestants for the top 12 stage of the on-going
season five of the Nigerian Idol TV reality show have emerged.
Show anchor, Illrhymz, announced the winners
during the Eviction Show held at the OMG Dream Studios last week. The
contestants are Preye, Dolu and Prime. Those who dropped out of the race
include Nana, Aisy, Tobore, Paradise, Blue C,
Francesca and Play P.
The emergence of the three was true to the
prediction of the judges who had singled out four of the contestants for their
exceptional performances during the group stage performance. It was however a
suspense-filled moment for the contestants as none of them was sure of going
through. The situation got worse when Dede took to a song in Pidgin to remind
them that seven of them had to leave.
Prime was the first to let off the hook followed by Dolu and then Preye.
“It was a torturing moment for me. It was
pretty much, and I was at the point of ‘if it happens, so be it,’” revealed
Dolu.
Speaking about his ouster, Play P who was
tipped to scale the top 30 admitted his disappointment, but expressed optimism
in making the number through the judges’ wild card door.
“I feel disappointed because I have
sacrificed enough to be the top 30. This would be my third attempt on the show
having been here in the last two seasons. This season, I came with a game plan
from the start, so I am very certain of a wild card spot,” he said.
Ten new contestants have been put up for
eviction in what is the second batch of the group stage performance.
