Project Fame: Eight Cruise To Next Stage

Seun Bisuga

The MTN Project Fame 7.0 competition is indeed getting to the peak, as the final elimination show was held leaving eight contestants in the race for the big prize.

Daniella, Shola, Christian, and Geoffrey (who made his first appearance on the probation list) were announced as the ones who would have to fight their way back into the Academy.

Without delay, they each stepped on stage to perform to escape elimination. Christian was up first, singing Tuface’s Africa Queen. It was obvious the young man was not about to give up without a fight. He perfectly combined his charms and skills in this performance.

Geoffrey’s second shot at Tuface’s ‘Only Me’ was so astoundingly perfect that it left the Judges at a loss for word. Daniella was up next, she also gave her best as she again performed ‘True Love’ by Tuface, a performance the Faculty described as ‘passionate and believable’.

Lastly, Shola also impressed everyone with his performance of ‘For Instance’ by Tuface. He even jumped into the audience, blowing everybody away as he delivered an energetic rendition.

Just before the fate of these four contestants were determined by the Judges, Faculty, and the contestants not on probation; Monica Ogah, Season 4 winner got everyone dancing with her performance.

After Monica’s performance came the moment of truth. Amid tension, the Judges saved Christian from elimination; Geoffrey got his second chance from the Faculty while the contestants not on probation saved Daniella again, this time chosen over Shola.

So it was goodbye to Shola aka Sholly Fresh, but the bundle of talent gave us one last stellar performance. He performed D’Banj’s ‘Fall In Love’, and this ended the final elimination show.
