MTN Project Fame 6 Update: The First Elimination Show

The starting line to fame and fortune has begun…but every task is a huddle, and every song is a thin line between fame and elimination.
It’s been one week in the academy and only time will tell who’s got the chops to grab the grand prize.

It is the first in a long line of Elimination nights, when contestants on probation find out what their fate is. But because it’s been just
one week in the academy and there have been no nominations, therefore there was no eliminations. This means that all 16 contestants
performed as bonafide students of the Project Fame Academy on the show.

With all the contestants clad beautifully and gorgeously for the evening, they went straight into the business of the evening. Ayoka opened
the floor with a beautiful presentation of Aretha Franklin’s ‘Willing to Forgive’. Below is the list of who performed what :

• Omolayo sang ‘Lean On Me’ by Michael Bolton,
• Blessing performed Beyonce’s ‘One Plus One’,
• David did ‘Angels’ Wings’ by West Life,
• Gbemisola performed Christina Aguilera’s ‘Bound To You’,
• Henry took up Lionel Richie’s ‘Three Times A Lady’,
• Immaculate performed ‘Halleluyah’ by Alexander Burke,
• Jimoh did a beautiful rendition of Joe’s ‘I Believe in you’
• Johnny stunned with Lionel Richie’s ‘Do It To Me’
• Leonard performed ‘Can You Feel The Love Tonight’ by Elton John,
• Margaret Serenaded everyone with Jennifer Hudson’s ‘I’m Not Doing’
• Simon rocked the stage with Stevie Wonder’s ‘Signed, Sealed, Delivered,
• Olawale wowed everyone with Bruno Mars’ ‘Just The Way You Are’
• Oluchi took to the floor singing Toni Braxton’s ‘Unbreak My Heart’.
• Roland did a beautiful rendition of Kenny G’s ‘Even If My Heart Will Break’

and Nini ended the show with a flawless performance as she sang Celine Dion’s ‘If that’s what it takes’.

The contestants performed well on opening night, and while the judges applauded them, they did not fail to give a few
knocks here and there as they look forward to the contestants doing songs outside of their comfort zones soon.

The faculty on the other hand welcomed the contestants into the competition and to great moments in the Academy in the coming weeks.
