MTN Project Fame Day 25: Elimination show 3 (Joshua and Grace bow out)

It’s was another elimination night and five contestants with the least number of votes went on probation again. It can also be said to be a night of mixed feelings where two contestants sadly left the Academy and one fortunate candidate got in from the Wild card contest.

The show began on a beautiful note with the two wild card entries Henry and Ella who had the highest votes performing, Henry started off with Michael Bolton’s ‘How Am I Supposed To Live Without You’ and Ella did Boyonce’s ‘I Was Here’. After their beautiful performances, it was time for the Judges to pick the better contestant, Although TY Mix was absent Cobham was in as the guest judge, they unanimously chose Ella after thorough consideration. And so for first time in PF history Ella became the first contestant to join the others in the Academy mid-stream.

Who and who then will leave at this moment? The time came and Yeside Oredugba of Alexander Forbes was invited. She stepped out with the envelope containing the names of the five contestants with the least votes. Chinyere, Joshua, Adetoun, Grace and Didi sadly landed on probation block and had to repeat the songs they performed last weekend. After their performances, the Judges saved Chinyere for bringing the extra factor into her performance, faculty saved Adetoun whom they felt had been on top of her game. Didi escaped elimination with the votes of the contestants not on probation. Who ever thought Christian would save Didi? What happened to his profession of love?

For Chinyere, what will happen to the feelings she shared with Joshua with his elimination? Guess love is tough in a competition.

With Joshua and Grace left out as contestants not saved by any one, they both performed for the last time on the stage. Grace performed Yvonne Chakachaka’s ‘UMQOMBOTHI’ and Joshua rounded off beautifully singing ‘AHUKEWU’ by VIP.

When asked how they feel about their elimination, Grace with teary eyes appreciated the faculty and everyone who voted for her. Joshua also appreciated the judges and faculty and counted it as a honour to have been on the stage and for making it to ‘Naija’.

At this point all we have to do is wish them the very best and the sky is their starting point.
