For the contestants on Naija Star Search talent hunt show, the fear of eviction is the beginning of wisdom.
Recently, the show reached an unprecedented height when eviction fear drew the best of new Afrobeats sounds from contestants.
Battling hard to evade eviction, episode eight of the weekly show had evoked brilliance and raw talent from Kachi, Sparrowh, Tomz, Skimzo, MB Dre, Melo, Greysky and Eniola.
With a whopping cash prize of N10 million, recording contract, and a lifetime opportunity to be a global star, the four contestants channeled all their arsenals towards evading eviction.
Tomz was smoking with lyrics, as she expressed hope and future possibilities of where her career was going despite hurdles in the carefully composed song, I Still Dey Ok.
Her performance aroused the judges, who couldn’t help but nod in acceptance of her delivery.
Next was Skimzo, who left the judges and studio audience singing along to his catchy hook on Money. Though, his performance started low, he ended it with everyone in the studio singing along with him. Even VJ Adams, the show host, couldn’t help singing along too.
MB Dre, who performed the song, Ama Ri Rawa, clearly informed the audience and judges of his penchant for love theme. He sang joyously to arouse affection from judges and the studio audience, who listened and watched his performance with rapt attention. Unfortunately, his beats couldn’t take him to the next stage, as the judges axed him.
For Eniola, it was a sound that warmed the heart with powerful lyrics. He left ID Cabasa dazed with her ability to switch between genres of music without losing the flow, attention, focus, and song theme, Supernatural.
Naija Star Search, a collaboration between StarTimes Nigeria and Kennis Music, airs every Sunday at 8pm on StarTimes channels: ST Nollywood Plus, ST Nollywood, and ST Yoruba.
