Omawumi fans have only themselves to blame for not installing their Idol using their votes. Com'on 63% to 37% is a bloody trashing. Everyone had between 8:00 pm on May 21 till noon on May 26 to choose their Idol. Timi's fans did what they had to do. Omawumi fans kept on hating on Timi. And Timi won. End of story. No need to hate on Timi.

Timi is the best Idol this continent has ever seen. He is the greatest thing to come out of Nigeria musically. He is phenomenal. He is unique in his singing. His excellence of delivery is undeniable. Think about a recipe made of Seal, Lemar, Lionel Richie, Luther Vandross, Michael Bolton, Donny Hathaway, Bo Bice, Clay Aiken , that is Timi. Timi will take over the world. Watch out!

All Timi's fans out there, send an email to timisfan-subscribe@yahoogroups.com and join an online community of his fans.

Timi's fans are not excited about the prize money or car. They are really excited about the Sony BMG deal. It gives this amazingly talented artiste a credible platform to launch his career. It is an artiste's dream come true.

Either you love Timi or you leave him. Manufacturing weaknesses that - I most point out - have nothing to do with his craft is kind of pointless at this time. Africa has choosen him as their Idol. Period! Timi's fans love him just the way he is.

Timi is a humble, respectful, kind, gentle, and Christian young man. Character speaks for something. He has his whole life ahead of him and the whole world to conquer. No amount of hating will take that away from him.

Timi won by a great majority of votes - 63%. Coming from nowhere with no family to keep down money and vote for him like Temitayo did, it speaks volumes of the guy's craft. Timi's fans have admitted that he has some work to do on his speech, which has nothing to do with his craft by the way.

However, it beats me how Omawumi fans continue to live in denial of the issues being raised here about her lack of identity as an artiste. Who is Omawumi? Her failure to identify herself probaby cost her a whole lot of votes and made Timi a clear winner. If you read through previous posts, you'll find that Timi fans do not say she is not a good performer, entertainer, sexy, learned, etc. Their major problem with her is that she is not defined. We do not know her voice. What does she sound like?

Omawumi will most likely get a record deal and not fade from the scene. So will the likes of Eric, Jodie, Uche, Omodele, etc. But ability to define themselves, I am not talking of genre of music here, I mean their own sound will determine how far they make it in music.

I Love You by Timi Dakolo, 1st Idol WA
