Yusuph, Oluchi, bid Project Fame goodbye

With Steve and Gabriel’s exit last weekend, the Project Fame competition paraded ten contestants. This week, two contestants were hit by the eviction hammer again as the competition gets hotter.

No doubt, the contestants’ wonderful group performance brought   tension and suspense that is characterised by the elimination shows, the reality of the dire situation settled on everyone when the moment of truth came for Pere, Yusuph, Oluchi, Winner, Dapo and Mirabel who were the contestants on probation.

While Pere was revealed to have had the highest viewers’ votes hence he was not required to perform again, Yusuph, Winner, Oluchi, Dapo, and Mirabel had to fight for a lifeline back into the competition with their performances.

Winner thanked her stars as she was saved by the judges; Dapo on the other hand got a new lease of life by the Faculty, while Mirabel was voted back into the competition by the contestants who were not on probation.

Sadly, Yusuph and Oluchi had to say goodbye.

 Yusuph bowed out of the competition singing the late Nomoreloss’ hit track ‘Iyawo asiko’ while Oluchi paid a tribute to the late Keffee as she performed ‘Kokoroko.’

Meanwhile, the sixth nomination night was a beautiful one which saw the contestants paying tribute to music legends who left indelible marks in the sand of time before they went to rest.

The series of tribute performances was opened by the Academy Music Director himself, Ben Ogbeiwi, aka Uncle Ben who paid tribute to the late Fela Anikulapo Kuti by performing the Afro legend’s song titled ‘Water no get enemy’. His magnificent performance was indeed a delightful surprise to the audience who didn’t see it coming!

The delight continued as the remaining eight contestants delivered mind blowing performances that probably got the late original song owners smiling down from heaven.
