Expectedly, Temitayo George was booted out of the show last Monday. Of the three contestants, Temi’s performance was the least appreciated. It didn’t come as a surprise that she garnered the least audience votes.
Meanwhile, Temitayo might have missed out on her chance to be the Idols West Africa winner, but she’s still basking in the light of her Idols glory. On Sunday night, which was her last time on stage, she sang two songs – Mariah Carey’s I’ll Be There and the Diana Ross number He Lives in You. Whilst her performances were good and judge Nana described her second performance as powerful, it was Timi and Omawumi who really dazzled on Sunday.
Singing Lemar’s If There’s Any Justice, Timi opened the show and gave a controlled, versatile performance that saw the judges, the audiences and fans singing his praises! He then sang Bryan Adam’s memorable classic Everything I Do, I Do it For You; and again, he received encouraging comments from all the judges and made his fans want to do everything they could for him!
Not to be outdone, Omawumi rocked the reggae smash hit I Don’t Want to Wait in Vain, and kept fans screaming for more with a performance that paid tribute to the reggae legend Bob Marley. She then closed off Sunday’s show with an emotional, polished performance of the Christina Aguilera hit, Ain’t No Other Man.
The question now is: Can the big song maestro Timi win against the gorgeous and gifted Omawumi? Or will Omawumi be the darling of audience votes ahead of talented Timi?
Many believe Timi is just the guy to beat. He has proved it time and time again that those who chose him to be a part of the competition did not make a mistake.
In fact, his greatest challenge was Jodie, who was voted out three weeks back; since then, it didn’t look as if anybody could beat Timi.
However, Omawumi has her own numerous fans who simply love her. In recent times, she has exhibited so much talent that many never knew she possessed. Like she said during the last eviction, “If I am in the finals, I will bring out my best trick to make sure I emerge the winner.â€
Nobody knows who will take home the recording contract prize from Sony/BMG Africa International, the Kia Picanto from Nigeria’s Dana Group, the USD 10,000 from Ecobank, and the ultimate viewing experience of a 26-inch LCD TV and I-Pod from the show’s headline sponsor Celtel. Time will tell.
