Nigerian Idol: performance
puts judges to sleep
A humorous incident occurred over the weekend when two
of the celebrity judges on the Nigerian Idol Season 5 TV
reality show took a sarcastic nap while one of the
contestants, Iheanacho Nancy, who goes by the stage name
Nana, was performing.
Afrobeat maestro, Dede Mabiaku and R ‘n’ B crooner, Darey
‘Art’ Alade could not face the disappointing performance by
the contestant, and to express this, they decided to lay
down their heads on the table in a mock expression of sleep.
After some bland showing earlier by some of the
contestants who made the first batch of ten from the pool
of 30 contestants, the judges had expected Nana to put up
a re-assuring performance in keeping with her potentials
and past experiences on the show, having featured
consecutively in the past three editions. But as it turned,
the 23-year-old, who performed the song Bin, Bing, Bang by
Katy Tiz, failed to measure up.
“You sang like you were singing to yourself. You have a lot
to offer, not this. Even your auditions were better than
this,” Yinka Davies jibes at her.
Speaking shortly after the show, Nana, who prides herself
by her husky voice, blamed her poor delivery of the song on
the difficulty in combining the mastering of the lyrics and
delivery on stage, a task she claimed was made more
difficult by her lack of previous knowledge of the song.
Meanwhile, eight other contestants also performed in the
first batch of the group stage phase. These include,
Ogunmoyero Modolowamu (Dolu), Iwuchukwu Franca
(Franchesca), Oyinkepreye Deborah Toun (Preye), Edema
Paradise Weyinmi (Paradise), Okukusie Precious Ajiri (Play P),
Ekeoma Victor Chibuzor (Prime), Efuetanu Tobore Ezekiel
(Tobore) and Orah Ojochenemi John (Blue C).
The fifth season of the Nigerian Idol competition currently
airs on both terrestrial and satellite stations and,
according to the producers, it continues in the weekend of
April 4 and 5, across the country.
