MTN Project Fame’s contestants recast Wizkid &Davido to audience delights
The MTN Project Fame stepped up to a whole new level of reckoning on Sunday
when the thirteen contestants in the academy recast the two most
popular Afro Hip-Hop princes, Wizkid and Davido. With performances that
the judges tagged intense and stellar, 13 hit songs from the gifted
artistes rang through the studio and propelled the audience into unusual
dancing mood. (pictured above is Clement performing Davidos One of a Kind). Continue…

It
was the Nomination Show. It started with Clement, who, despite a broken
leg , opened the stage with a spirited rendition of Davidos One of a
Kind. Balanced on the tread of a 3-step stair, the Ghanaian was a marvel
and seemed in control of his colourful dancers. He evinced total
mastery of the song, and endeared himself to a previously doubtful
audience.
Clements
performance turned out to be the perfect opener as subsequent
performances were equally adjudged fun, amazing, decent and more. Second
was Laami performing Wizkids I Love My Baby followed by another Davidos
hit song Aye performed by Emeka.
Taiwo,
Christian, Shola, Ruky, Geoffrey, Ugo and Debbie were the other
contestants that rendered select popular songs by Wizkid. The songs
include Holla at your Boy, Oluwa Lo Ni, Dont Dull and Joy, a mixture of
hip hop and reggae performed by Debbie to an extensive applause from
participants and the faculty.
Kofo,
Flourish and Ogechi did justice to Davidos famous songs like DamiDuro,
Ekuro and All of You. The performances trumped all contentions and defy
arguments as it turned out that the artistes recast were in different
worlds and peculiar classes too close to call . That seemed the obvious
reason the judges – including a guest appearance by one of the shows
guest judges from Ghana, Akosia Agyapong – decided to put all the
contestants on probation.

Hence,
Ugo (18), Christian (1), Debbie (4), Clement (2), Geoffrey (8), Kofo
(9), Laami (10), Ruky (15), Emeka (6), Shola (16), Kofo (9), Ogechi (14)
and Flourish (7) are now on probation. The truth is anyone of these
contestants could be eliminated this Saturday
except their fans weigh in by voting to keep them in the academy.
Viewers and fans can text their favourite contestants unique numbers to
306 or 1745(Ghana), via an MTN line, to keep them in the academy.
The five wildcard entrants who performed on the show on Saturday also will need viewers votes to make the academy.
On the flip side, Melody and Lasbrey have been eliminated from the academy, after three great weeks of outstanding performances.
