Cool

In a country where there is

1.Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

2. Nigerian Idol

3. Cowbellpedia

4. The Voice

The youths choose to throw their weight behind a certain useless and uneducative show... Can such a country be said to have a bright future??

This episode has brought out some interesting talents especially that little girl Blessing 18 that lives in Port-Harcourt

Dbanj no just get time. Anybody wey perform gets his approval

Simi is a good judge and I think the other judge, Obika or what is his name is a very very good talent analyst

They are all better than last year judges of Seyi Shey and DJ Sose

Why was Seyi Shay exempted from being a judge this year?

I sincerely do miss her on the show.

Okay.

Like for Simi, Share for Seyi Shay.

What reward? A show that have the already selected few. i wonder how it rewards real talent. pls tell nairalanders how Nigerian Idol rewards true talents when the winners are already selected before the show.

Or maybe the season 3 and 4 i participated in was fluke while this season 7 is the real deal?

Abeg make we hear word! its all arranged. Hustle your thing and pray to God until you make it.

Simi nice

There are more talented folks in MTN project fame and The Voice Nigeria compare to this Idol.

Last year own was kinda boring.

They Should Bring Back Sheyi Shay!
