Since his emergence as winner May 22, fans of the TV show have continued to praise the Delta-born singer, songwriter, performer and music minister.
The visit by the music Idol and other 11 contenders of the show, Thursday, 26 May, 2022, was intended at appreciating Bigi’s immense support for the show and in creating a platform for showcasing his talent which was demonstrated in the 10-weeklong performances that led to his victory, after being refreshed by the brand’s inimitable flavour.
The 21-year-old singer won after polling more fans’ votes to beat fellow finalist Zadok in a record-breaking voting season. The top-2 secured 45 million votes in the finale week alone and over 220 million votes all season long. IK Osakioduwa revealed this in a celebratory finale episode on Sunday.
Although she is out of the competition, the Warri born singer can look forward to a studio session with D’banj, as the Kokomaster said.
Despite the record-breaking votes from fans and music lovers across the country, the Bigi Nigerian Idol journey ended for Debby
Zadok opened the show with his performance of Wizkid’s Back To The Matter. It was a prelude to the glorious performances to come. His performance was followed by Debby’s cover of Brenda Fassie’s legendary song, Vulindlela. She gave an outstanding performance and complimented it with her shimmering gold dress. Simi mentioned that she reminded her of Yemi Alade.
Debby, Precious, and Joel – all put their best foot forward. The 12 of them gave us vocals, awe-inspiring performances and Vogue-worthy looks.
The contestants gave it a whirl in their separate performances in an attempt to woo viewers and fans for votes as the two contestants with the least votes would be eliminated in the next round. Abigail opened the floor of the evening with an astonishing rendition of ‘Rain on Me’ by Lady Gaga. The highlight of her performance was the uniqueness of her voice that synergized with her backup singers.
The live shows will begin on Sunday, March 20, 2022, and all 12 finalists will be competing to become the next Nigerian Idol and walk away with N100 million worth of prizes. The promise of winning the largest ever prize for a music talent show in Nigeria means that all 12 finalists will bring their A-game, and the show will get hotter.
As the judges stated at the show’s beginning, it was a tight list that only the best of the best could make. Unfortunately, a contestant like Collins had to go home because his last performance wasn’t ‘good’ enough to earn him a spot on the top ten list.
The auditions will be held on December 4, 2021 at the Colossus Hotel, Ikeja, Lagos.
