Oluwakemi Out Of Glo Naija Sings

Top favourite Oluwakemi Adimula on Sunday, 9 October became the next evictee as she was evicted from the television talent hunt show, Glo Naija Sings.

As the third season of the show hots up, the top 9 became top 8 as the Abuja based music wannabe got the least amount of votes and had to leave the stage to become part of the voting public.

During last week’s show, the contestants were asked to perform international pop and rock hits. The host, Darey, set the tone with his pop-rock style. He was dressed in a red tee paired with a leather jacket.

Oluwakemi was sent off the show even though she gave an average performance to her swan song. Other contestants also had their day. Tee Songz performed Daniel Bedingfield’s If You’re Not The One.

Judges’ favourite Vicky dazzled the audience in a gold sequined dress while she belted out Shania Twain’s hit single Still The One. It was definitely one of the top performances of the night.

AmOK came on stage in a Silver sparkly dress as she performed Tina Turner’s What’s Love Got To do with It. Oni really knocked it out of the park as she delivered a very polished version of Christina Aguilera’s Infatuation. She definitely got the audience hot.

Before his performance, Precious had a chat with backstage host Denrele and shared that he is a fan of rock music. So he didn’t have to look far off for inspiration for his performance. Precious performed Daughtry’s most successful single Home.

Mattade celebrated birthday this past week and the birthday boy really gave us some of his birthday love by performing Phil Collins/Mariah Carey/West Life’s Take A Look At Me Now. It was a strong and emotional performance that had most of the audience in awe. Christian who has been named by the judges as one of the top vocalists, really didn’t give the audience exactly what they expected from him. His rendition of Lighthouse Family’s Ocean Drive was ok but we expect so much more from him.

Lynn performed Cher’s Believe, she was on point this week as she made very good use of the stage, something that she failed to do in her last performance.
