The last battle for the Nigerian Idol season 2 crown sponsored by etisalat Nigeria was fought on stage this week between two giants who emerged finalists in this year`s Music TV Reality Show. The two finalists are Mercy Chinwo and Joe Blue. They sang their last songs of the competition that will fetch them the crown if the votes favour them this week. Both of them sang three songs each. The first they chose for themselves, the second was chosen for them by their Music director and the third was a Nigerian song that they chose for themselves. The studio was filled to it`s capacity with some friends, family members and well wishers of both contestants putting on the T shirts of their contestants and some carrying placards that displayed the name of their favourite contestant. The tension for the audience was high as they wanted to watch the two finalists perform. No sooner than expected, the show started with Joe Blue. The people who had been expecting the show to start screemed as Joe Blue mounted the stage. Joe Blue`s first song was Whitney Houston`s `ONE MOMENT IN TIME` no doubt, he did his best. Jeffrey Daniels, who is one of the Nigerian Idol Judges in his comment after Joe`s first performance said he started well but later lost the key but no matter what, Joe is a creative and entertaining performer he said. Mercy then took the stage and the crowd started shouting Mercy! Mercy!! Mercy!!! And immidiately Mercy started singing some people started appaulding, and as she got into the middle of the song some stood up to dance and some screemed, calling her name. She sang Withney Houston`s `I LOOK TO YOU`. Joe`s second song was `REHAB` by AMY WINESTONE and his third song was `IFEOMA ` by Felix Liberty. He did the songs well. Mercy`s second song was `ONE THING` by AMERIE and her third was P Square`s ` CHOP MY MONEY` which she did to the satisfaction of the studio audience. The results will be announced next week and the big question is who goes home with the one hundred thousand dollars prize, the SUV Jeep and the recording contract? Will it be Mercy or Joe Blue? The voters will decide that and Alexander Forbes the reliable company that collates the results will unveil the winner to us. The second winner will go home with 1.5 million Nigerian Naira which is about Ten thousand US dollars while the third place winner(Stephen Onochie) will go home with One Million Naira Picture above is Joe doing `IFEOMA` by Felix Liberty

His first son, Femi Kuti was invited as the guest Judge. After the contestants had finished thrilling the audience present in the show with Fela`s songs, Charly Boy who happens to be one of the Judges, used a paper to jokingly make what looked like a Marijuana (IGBO) but not a Marijuana it was only a paper to signify what the late was known to smoke durning his days on earth. Above is Fela`s son Femi Kuti left, with a lighter joking with Charly Boy`s paper shaped Marijuana at the Nigerian Idol show.

The four contestants left in the season 2 of the Nigerian Idol show sponsored by etisalat Nigeria, are, Mercy Chinwo, Najite El-David, Stephen Onochie and Joe Blue. They performed two foreign songs each this week. Joe Blue opened the show with the song FINE TO RAIN by Adele and his second song was REHAB by late Amy Winehouse. He did fantastically well expecially in Rehab that he got the standing Ovation of the audience. Charly Boy described him again as Hurricane and Tsunami Blue and openly explained that the reason he loves Joe is because of the Charly Boy spirit in him. Without being asked, he explained the Charly Boy spirit himself. According to Charly Boy, Joe Blue contested for Idol last year but got nowhere, this year he contested and was booted out but since the judges had the power to save contestants they felt were good, he was saved and since then he`s been doing great. I want to believe that`s the Charly Boy spirit. Nagite was next in the show with the track No One by Aliciakeys and her second choice of song was Rihanna`s Umbrella. Najite gave her best but the winner of West African Idol Timi Dakolo who performed in the day`s show before sitting with the others judges as the day`s guest judge was not too satisfied with her rap in her umbrella song. The next person to perform was Stephen Onochie. He sang two songs too. The first was WHEN A WOMAN LOVES by R. Kelly and the second was OH MY GOSH by Usher. Before Stephen started singing, the crowd had started appaulding him and chanting his name. Steve went on and he did not disappoint his fans. Dakolo, praised Steve`s vocals and Jeffrey Daniels observed that Steve was bigger and better than his second choice of song which Jeff beleives his old schooled Mercy`s first song was Beyonce`s Halo and her second song was Amerie`s One thing. Mercy gave her best that the audience gave her both a clapping and a standing ovation after her wonderful performance. The guest artiste of the day and the winner of West African Idol, Timi Dakolo who was one of the day`s judges was impressed by Mercy`s performance that he openly requested for Mercy`s friendship. Charly Boy said that the stage is Mercy`s home and that she didn`t need any dancer to dance for her. The contestants actually used dancers in their second song. Charly Boy ended with the statement that you know I told you that you will be in the final two and you know what that means.if we have to go by Charly`s word`s, then Mercy is already in the Top two. But last week`s result has proven that the Judges and the studio audience have no say. The voters have the final say. The judges over rated Mercy and Joe last week but when the result was released, Najite and Steven came first and second respectively. Obviously they are all stars but sadly one person must leave. Who will that person be? Picture above shows Joe Blue doing late Amy Winehouse`s `REHAB`

The result of the last performance of the five contestants in the ongoing Nigerian Idol season 2 music reality TV show proudly sponsored by etisalat Nigeria was annouced amidst tension as Honey Adum was voted out of the house. Honey who in his last performance performed two Nigerian songs namely African Queen by Tuface and Fall In Love by Dbanj could not convince the audience who are the voters to keep him in the contest as he was annouced the person with the least votes. Most people who witnessed the last performance of the contestants in the studio had thought that Mercy who one of the Nigerian Idol judges, Charly Boy had said is charge of the stage would score the highest number of votes did not. Suprisingly, Nagite did who was not well rated as Mercy did score the highest number of votes this week and Stephen whom Charly Boy`s juju had forecasted to be in the top 4, actually scored the highest number of votes to beat Charly Boy`s favourite Joe Blue. Joe Blue was described by Charly Boy as Tsunami, Hurricane e.t.c., despite all these descriptions, those who were not eulogised came out tops leaving a clear message behind that of the four left in the house none is a push over. Picture above shows honey Adum bowing out of the season 2 Nigerian Idol show.

The five contestants left in the Nigeria Idol show, sponsored by etisalat Nigeria, did their very best on stage to stay in the competition. The contestants sang two Nigerian songs each starting with Mercy Chinwo who Jeffrey Daniels, one of Nigerian Idol season 2 Judges openly said will be amongst the final two. Mercy sang the song titled`Igwe` by mid nite crew. Mercy did justice to the song with good dancing skills and stage performance. Her second song was P Square`s `I GO CHOP YOUR MONEY` which she all did very well that the guest artiste of the day, Sir Shina Peters, commended her and also said that the song she sang was a song which portrayed her real person and that she`ll definately like to swindle men. Other Judges, Jeffrey Daniels, Yinka Davies and Charly Boy, gave it all up for mercy Mercy`s performance.
The next to perform was Honey Adum. He performed Tuface`s African Queen and Dbanji`s `FALL IN LOVE`. He didn`t do badly either. But from the way Charly Boy, one of the Judges spoke, he might not make it to the final four. What did Charly Boy say, Joe Blue is a Tsunami, Mercy is good, I see Najite to be in the top three that was after he had consulted with his sets of rings and he told Stephen Onochie that he doesn`t like the looks on his face on eviction days and that he loves his smiles. He ended up by saying you will be in the top four, I will see you here next week. It`s a red card for Honey Adum, but the audience have the final say because they are the voters and not the Judges.
The third contestant to perform on stage was loverboy Stephen Onochie as he is called. He sang two songs the first was `EGO` by Djinee and the second was `SWEET MOTHER` by Nico Mbanga. Stephen did so well that the audience gave him a standing ovation. He had his parents in the audience and his choice of sweet mother was a dedication to his mother who while singing the song, he embraced.
After Stephen came Najite. She sang two songs too. `MOSE ORIRE` by IK Dairo and `IF YOU ASK ME` by Omawunmi. According to Najite`s interview with Tiwa Savage on of the anchor`s of Nigerian Idol season 2 show, the choice of the first song she sang `MOSE ORIRE` is a thanksgiving to God who has seen her thus far. After doing her best in the stage, Charly Boy, predicted that she`ll be in the final three.
Joe blue performed two songs namely `OLORI OKO` by a group called infinity and `FEVER`. Joe thrilled the audience and the Judges that one of the guest Judges, Sir Shina Peters predicted that in a couple of years from now, Joe Blue and himself will meet on stage. Charly Boy, told Joe`s mother who was present in the show that he did like to adopt joe blue. The theatre arts undergraduate of the University of Lagos is no doubt a bundle of talent. Voting has started. Who will be evicted this week? Voters are advised to vote wisely. Above is Mercy Chinwo
