Intrigues as judges placed all MTN Project Fame’s Contestants on probation

The judges and the faculty members in the season six of MTN Project Fame academy almost locked horns, last weekend, as the current crop of contestants, on the reality show, proved too good for any unfavourable verdicts. The excellent and magnificence performance by the contestants kept both the judges and ‘faculty’ spell-bound, as it was a difficult moment for both judges and faculty to pick any areas where contestants need to improve. As such a feud almost ensued.  

While the faculty led by ‘mum’ Joke Silva was enthralled, the panel of judges comprising TY-Mix, Ghanaian music legend, Bibie Brew and Nigerian Ade Bantu felt it was their responsibility to still address one or two flaws in the contestants’ performances. At the end of the day, it was agreed that none of the contestants under-performed.

Since it’s a norm that some contestants will always have to go on probation, the judges were put in a dilemma, on a night that had all-round exceptional performances. Interestingly, they found a way out of that critical situation. They placed all the contestants on probation.

Currently any of the ten contestants in the academy face a possible elimination this weekend. The saving grace for the contestants will be the number of votes, they gather from viewers, friends and family, all over the West Africa sub-region.

The ten contestants in the academy are: Immaculate, Simon, Olawale, David, Margaret, Niniola, Jimoh, Rowland, Omolayo and Blessing.

Meanwhile, Sound Sultan, a guest judge, on the show, was thrilled by the performances. He encouraged the contestants to put in more energy into their performances as the show is almost coming to its climax. He, however, focused specifically on David, the Ghanaian, admonishing him, to come out of his shell and take control of the stage.

 To summarise all the performance, the ‘Mathematics’ crooner said “I thought I was watching a performance at the Grammy”.
