Meet the Top 10 Contestants

1.      Savy Henry

Savy Henry was the first Contender to find out if the Judges were pleased with his performance of ‘Para’ by Davido. When he got in, the Judges commented on his performance and how they were pleased with it. This was especially important to Savy Henry who was cut off from Nigerian Idol last Season at the last round of Theatre Week, Fortunately, Savvy Henry did not face the same fate as last Season because he got a smooth pass into the Top 10 for the Season.

3. Precious Mac

Not long after the episode started we had the first casualty of the night. It was Arite whose energetic performance did not please the Judges well enough to get a spot in the Top 10. Arite’s rejection opened the floodgate for rejections as Sapphire Whinnas, Amaka, and Akinwande all fell out of the show right at the doorstep of the Live Shows.

Then came the moment for Precious Mac to find out if, like her sisters Naomi Mac and Faith Mac, she will be stepping onto the Nigerian Idol live stage. Her performance of ‘Ayo’ by Simi, fortunately granted her the chance to snag a spot in the Top 10.

5. Victory

Next to get sad news from the Judges was Eloehi whose performance of ‘Fantasy’ by Niniola did not sound too convincing to the Judges. Her duet partner, Victory, did not suffer the same fate as her because the Judges were super amazed at his performance of ‘No Shaking’ by 2Baba.

6. Ose Daniel

A slew of ‘Nos’ came up again as Daniel, Sir Danny, and Soultunes all had their dreams of being on the Live Show dashed by the Judges who were not impressed by their performances. Then came the time for Ose Daniel to know his fate. Fortunately for him, his performance of ‘Catch Me If You Can’ by Adekunle Gold was highly rated by the Judges who then gave him the good news of his spot in the Top 10.

Goodness came up next on the block but instead of being chopped off, she received the good news that she will be moving on to the Live Show due to the positive feedback from the Judges about her final Theatre Week performance of ‘It’s About Damn Time’ by Lizzo.

The good news continued as Abraham also snagged a spot in the Top 10 because the Judges all agreed he has had a good run so far and his performance of ‘Under The Influence’ by Chris Brown was also commended. Reigny also came up on the string of those who snagged a spot in the Top 10 as her performance of ‘Karma’ by Summer Walker received positive reviews from the Judges.

9. Quest

The good news took a slight pause as Busayo failed to get a spot in the Top 10 after her performance of ‘One’ by Tiwa Savage didn’t get the response she would have wanted from the Judges. Her rejection soon paced the way to a happy moment when Quest was informed of her place amongst the Top 10 for Season 8. Her performance of ‘Flowers’ by Miley Cyrus was accepted with full arms by the Judges and dubbed one of her best performances.

The two had to find out together as they were both ushered into the Judges’ arena to find out their fate. After careful analyses of Chisom’s performance of ‘Unholy’ by Sam Smith and Smartlily’s performance of ‘Hrs & Hrs’ by Muni Long, the Judges decided that the final spot be filled by Chisom who was having a second chance at this same spot after being rejected from the Live Show last Season.
