Who leaves Nigerian Idol this Week?
Starting from last week, ten contestants would face the viewing public each week for five weeks in the Top Fifty stage of the Nigerian Idol. Out of the ten , eight would go and two will remain. The first ten of the fifty got a chance to show their stuff last Sunday and today December 24 only two will remain in what is gearing up to be a really tight race.
The ten contestants Sadia, Joe Blue, Immaculate, Irene, Chito, AB, Ruth, Ola, Bukky and Naomi sang their hearts out to a live studio audience and the judges. But unlike in past weeks where the judges got to decide who stays and who goes,their fates now lie in the hands of the viewers who have been asked to vote for their favorite contestants via text and on the Nigerian Idol website.
After four days of nail-biting tension, viewers will finally get to see the outcome of the votes when the show airs later today.
