After eight intensive weeks of competition, the finalists,
among whom the latest superstar will emerge, have been announced.
The power now lies in the hands of the viewers and the fans of the contestants to select who they think deserve to be the real superstar of MTN Project Fame West Africa Season 7.
Meet the contestants...
Emeka (6) – A student of Abia State University. His slow
start notwithstanding, he has put in so much work to become a true contender
for the ultimate prize. He had one of his best performances when he rendered
Flavour’s ‘Ada Ada’.
Left: Geoffrey (8) – He stands out for his vocal
quality and commands the judges’ respect for being able to deliver almost
perfectly every song. He showed mastery and character that astounded even Paul
‘Play’ Dairo who described him ‘a superstar’ the day he performed one of Majek
Fashek’s hit songs.
Right: Christian (1) – Except for the votes that have
not been coming his way – God knows why – the Ghanaian is truly an entertainer.
His calm is almost ingenious and, besides that, his character is outstanding.
He showed that last Friday when he performed once again Tuface’s ‘African
Queen.
Left: Ugo (18) – The judges never stopped mentioning how
hard this lanky young man works. Ever since he sang ‘Under the Surface’ and
came in for the judges sticks, he seemed to have improved with every
performance.
Right: Ruky (15) – This lively Port Harcourt lady is
incredible. Whether she is rendering a song by Kcee, Tiwa Savage or Tuface, she
never allowed herself to be intimidated by the demand of each song. She is
always on point. She has done so well and has never been on probation.
Left: Debbie (4) – She had a rough time last week when
she sang Tuface’s ‘If Love is a Crime’ but she made up for that on Sunday.
TY-Mix remarked that the ‘slim-shady’ is still searching for her true vocal
range. With a place in the finals already, one only hopes she finds that.
Right: Clement (2) – A lot of people wish this lad from
Ghana did not sustain the injury that confined him to the wheel-chairs for
weeks. Though he walks on crutches now, his determination is enviable. He
provided sufficient cover-up, in terms of vocal dexterity, for his disability
and roused the feeling of sympathy when he sang Michael Bolton’s ‘Back on My
Feet Again’.
Daniela (80) – If only those who couldn’t make it
through the auditions would embrace the Wild-Card. It was first Ella but this
extraordinary lady is charging up to beat the record. Having spent lesser time
in the academy than the rest of the contestants, a place in the final is
already a big leap for her.
Viewers can text their
favourite contestant’s unique number to 306 or 1745 (in Ghana) to help boost
their chances of winning the competition.
