Get ready for the excitement of Nigerian Idol Season 9! After weeks of impressive and hilarious auditions, we're finally about to meet the top 10 contestants. The live shows kick off on 26 May on Africa Magic Showcase (GOtv channel 12) and Africa Magic Family (GOtv channel 2). Plus, catch all the auditions and behind-the-scenes action on Nigerian Idol Extra, airing daily on GOtv channel 49.
Nine contestants have secured their spots, but the final top ten spot is still up for grabs. Viewers now have the power to vote for either Japh Kenti or Lammy to join the live shows.
The top nine contestants have wowed the judges throughout auditions and Theatre Week and are ready to shine in front of a live audience. Last week’s episode featured some familiar faces, with Obi Asika stepping in as a guest judge and past winners Victory Gbakara and Progress sharing their insights.
Chioma was the first to clinch a spot in the top 10 with her stellar performance of Jennifer Hudson’s "If This Isn’t Love." Mira Clear followed with a captivating rendition of Bob Marley’s "No Woman No Cry," and David Garland impressed everyone with Marvin Gaye’s "What’s Going On."
Other top contenders include Lady Ruth, Stevie, Maio, Gracia, Jennifer Igomu, and Chima, who earned their places with outstanding performances. Chima, a platinum ticket winner, redeemed himself after falling short last season with his rendition of Giveon’s "Stuck on You."
Unfortunately, the journey ended for talented contestants like Mikki, Tari, Sapphire Whinnas, Teddy, Alfred Greatness, Japheth, Dakor, Victor Annie, JayB, and Sammie Voice, whose performances didn't make the cut.
Now, it’s down to Japh Kenti and Lammy for the final spot. Japh wowed with Mario's "Let Me Love You," while Lammy delivered a unique performance of Teni’s "Case." Viewers can vote for their favorite on the Africa Magic website or mobile site, or through the MyDStv or MyGOtv apps.
Catch all the live performances starting 26 May on Africa Magic Showcase (GOtv channel 12) and Africa Magic Family (GOtv channel 2) at 7 pm WAT. Don’t miss a moment of the action and drama on Nigerian Idol Extra, airing daily on GOtv channel 49.
