68 contestants proceed to Nigerian Idol Theatre Week

After 4 weeks of excitement, the auditions for Nigerian Idol season 6 came to an end last night with 14 contestants receiving golden tickets to proceed to the Theatre round.

Winning admiration

One of the performances that stood out from last night’s auditions was from Winner, a 22-year-old producer, who performed a self-written song much to the admiration of the audience and Judges. Another outstanding performer was Faith Jason. Faith’s rendition of ‘All Time Low’ by Jon Bellion was so good that Seyi Shay stood up to personally hand him a Golden Ticket and named him one of her favourites this season.

Not their lucky night

Some contestants had a night to forget as they were unable to impress the judges. Mufidat's performance fell short of the judges’ standard as she was visibly nervous throughout her performance and Virginia, a professional singer was also let down by her voice.
