The race to the finals of the Nigerian Idols reality television show has become hotter as the top four contestants have emerged.
Following the eviction of Faith Jason, the top four contestants ― Atela Francis, Akunna, Comfort Alalade, and Kingdom ― will continue to battle it out on the Nigerian Idol stage with hopes to earn the title of the Nigerian Idol.
After the contestants had a joint performance of ‘One Love’ by the legendary Bob Marley, they all waited to find out which one of them had advanced to the next round of the live performance.
Atela Francis was the first of the five to make it to the top four. He sang Bob Marley’s ‘Nuh Woman Nuh Cry’, which earned him praises from the guest judge, Praiz.
Francis’ second performance of Marvin Gaye’s ‘Sexual Healing’ earned him more commendation from Praiz, who remarked on his exceptional versatility.
Akunna was the second contestant to advance to the top four. Her first performance was 90s chart-topper, ‘It Wasn’t Me’, by Shaggy.
