It is another night of pure excitement for the audience and viewers but not so much fun for the contestants as they had to sing their best to avoid being on probation on the very first nomination show. The contestants have already spent 7 Days in the MTN Project Fame Academy. Tonight was the very first Nomination show, and so much was expected from the contestants but Ayoka (1), Oluchi (15), Leonard (11), Simon (17) and Roland (16) were not lucky enough to escape this trap.



All the contestants looking confident and ready to impress the Judges took to the stage one after the other.

Johnny was the first to perform 'If I could turn back the hands time' by R Kelly, the Judges were expecting more from Johnny they think he needs to modify the song but the faculty thought otherwise, they felt the performance was good and excellent.



Leonard performed 'Runaway' by Styl Plus, the Judges did not see confidence in him he was advised to be more focused and the Faculty agreed saying they will work more with him. Henry on his part rendered 'Unchained Melody' by Righteous Brother, the Judges noticed he was been too careful and trying to be perfect and advised him to open up more.



David took another song outside of his comfort zone when he performed 'Knock on wood' by Eddie Floyd. The Judges saw improvement in him compared to the last performance. However, he still struggles with the song- forgetting his lyrics they added that he needs to connect with his song and be passionate on stage.



Ayoka stepped on stage to perform 'Waiting to Exhale' by Whitney Houston. The Judges commented on her strong voice but encouraged her to be careful with stressing the voice beyond limits which the Faculty also concurred to. Oluchi did not so impress the judges with 'Fire To the Rain' by Adele, and the faculty promised to work with her. Aretha Franklin's 'Respect' was performed by Immaculate. The judges commended her for being able to move and sing at the same time. She brought so much pride to the Faculty with her magnetic performance.



Jimoh took to the stage all looking dapper as he performed 'You Raised me Up' by West Life, the Judges loved his performance and expect something better in his next performance. Simon hit the stage with 'Crazy' by KC & JOJO, the Judges expected him to do more with his good voice, and the Faculty promised to work more on him.



Olawale performed 'Against all Odds' by Phil Collins, the Judges applauded his confidence and the originality in the rendition of the song and the Faculty likened him to a good combo of Chidinma and Tolu of season 3. Roland did a good one with Michael Bolton's 'Soul Provider' but he did not impress the judges enough. Margaret sang her heart out with Alicia Keys' 'Girl on Fire'. The Judges commended her on good communication skill in her performance.



Niniola took the stage to perform 'I'll be there' by Mariah Carey but the Judges felt she could have done better. But Uncle Ben disagreed with them completely, commending the performance as well above average.



The show continued with Blessing singing Rapture by Anita Baker, Gbemisola rendered 'Subway' by Asa. Omolayo rounded off with a passionate rendition of 'Aye Ole by Infinity'. Both the judges and faculty were impressed beyond words and applauded his performance.



So, after all said and done Ayoka(1), Oluchi(15), Simon (17), Rowland(16) and Leonard(11) landed in probation. Their fate is in your hands, to save your favorite contestant(s), send his/her number to 306 if you are in Nigeria, Liberia or Sierra Leone. Viewers in Ghana please text your favourite contestant(s) number to 1745. All votes must be from an MTN line in Nigeria, Ghana and Liberia. In Sierra Leone, voters must vote from airtel line.



Voting lines are open right now and they will be closed on Friday at 6pm. So start voting now, West Africa because the power keep your favorite contestant(s) in the competition is in your hands.





There’s a whole lot at stake. Apart from the experience they gain from the Academy, there are mouth-watering prizes to be won. Like we said at the opening gala, cash prizes have been doubled, so this season, the third runner-up goes home with TWO MILLION NAIRA, the second runner up goes home with TWO MILLION NAIRA and a brand new salon car, the first runner up will be rewarded with THREE MILLION NAIRA and a mid-size salon car, and the winner of MTN Project Fame West Africa Season 6 will go home with FIVE MILLION NAIRA, a brand new SUV and a recording contract worth millions of Naira.



It doesn’t end there though. There will also be prizes for viewers. Every week, the viewers/voter with the highest number of votes will win LCD TVs, home-theatre sets and microwave ovens. The next five voters with the highest votes will take away Star-Time decoders and 50 other voters will win consolation prizes of lots and lots of MTN airtime. The star prize for viewers/voters this season is a fully loaded Hyundai Accent executive carwhich will go to the voter with the highest number of votes at the end of the season.



So, start voting to keep your favourite contestant and you could be a proud owner of any of these mouth-watering prizes.

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.





Tomorrow’s show will bring the first Nomination Night of the season where judges will decide on who will be placed on probation...

and there begins the journey to the top, or for some – the journey back home.



It promises to be thrilling, make sure you don’t miss it cos this season, MTN Project Fame West Africa is indeed bigger and better, in every way.
