Idols show 22nd April 2007

Heya, this is such a late Idols update, but you know what they say, better late than never eh? Let me give you the rundown of yesterdays' show....

Yesterday, we had some oldies from the contestants...Mercy was first with ‘Part Time Lover’ by Stevie Wonder, Omawumi followed with ‘The Rhythm of the Night’ by Gloria Estefan, Timi was next with ‘Stuck on You’ by Lionel Richie, Jerrilyn with ‘All By Myself’ by Celine Dion was next in line, Eric then wowed us with ‘Killing me softly’ originally by Roberta Flack, and most recently by the Fugees, Jodie performed Tina Turners hit ‘What’s Love Got to Do With It’ and finally Temitayo closed the show with Irene Cara’s ‘What a Feeling’ (remember FLASHDANCE anyone?)

Anyway, they all generally did well... My opinion may or may not come to pass, but hey! I think Jerrilyn is the one to say Goodbye tonight.... It's always a close call for her and Mercy, and you never know what the voters are thinking.... I am sure she has the benefit of being the only one from outside Nigeria so all the Africans in the diaspora who watch may just be rallying their votes solely for her... this is what I think though... it's either her or Mercy, but I admit Mercy did quite well compared to other Sundays this time...

For Omawumi, I feel it's now all about her perfomance, you lose yourself in her perfomance so much that you may forget to listen to the voice and for me, yesterday was not so spectaculare for her, voice-wise if I may use that word...Temitayo also upped her game from last week and everything generally went well for her, and Jodie did not surprise me with her good perfomance... Eric with his good voice generally chose a song that's well suited to his voice and the judges complained about it, but well, I guess everyone has to do what works for them... I mean, better a song that's easy for you to deliver than a hard song that you fail to deliver on abI??? Anyhow, that's the way I see it...

Now to Timi.... That guy pulled all the stops.... he finished the song, I mean he wowed everyone present so much that Nana even had tears in her eyes... i gave him a standing ovation from home... That boy is the shizzle for hizzle ma fizzle....now, that's me tryna be funky!!!


The results are going to be out in another 20 mins so lemme rush home for the live show.... Who do you think is off tonight Who's not gonna be in the Top 6???
Take care guys!!!
