As in eh. Most especially that DJ and the lady. Asika or what's his name,will be asking opinion from those two idiots..

I believe the organisers know better hence the reason they're chosen.

Seyi Shay, Sose and Obi Asika, how far nau...


Audu Maikori, Cobhams Asuquo and a selected few would have been wonderful.....

Just like o yes member. Once one say no others will follow.

The one with tattoo on his face asked participant if he smoked weed live. The girl is biased in her judgment.

Your Opinion Can't Be Mine! #this Guy Nawa O

The above mentioned music reality show currently running on DSTV and GOTV platforms may likely be the "wackiest" (for want of words) music reality show in recent times going by the quality of opinions thus far by the jury, made up of a 3man panel of Obi Asika; a Record Label Exec, Seyi Shay; a perpetual upcoming artiste going by the unpopularity of most, if not all her songs and DJ Sose; who at best is skillful at selecting songs that'll mostly appeal to club audiences.

One would have thought the record label executive in the person of Asika, who ordinarily should have been exposed to artistes of various kinds, will as a father figure, be in full control of the selection process, by way of influencing the opinions of the others even though the antecedents of past judges on the show clearly sets a pace for divergence in opinions that in the end, engenders a robust decision for or against the candidates. This is terribly in deficit this time on the show, as as much as a snarl from the perpetual upcoming artiste is enough influence of the opinions of two supposedly mature and independently minded men. Sose even managed to take his obvious lack of knowledge of music and consequently, a lack of sound judgement to annoying levels by always concurring to whatever Seyi Shay breathes, despite his body language telling otherwise.

All of the above is obvious in the audition of the young music producer, whose image you'll find attached to this post. I can bet that IK, the show host was shell shocked that the young man had to be turned down for no reasonable point, except for displaying his musical dexterity. If that's a crime, then pray tell me what Idols is all about?

I was part of the very first Idol show in Nigeria that produced the likes of Timi Dakolo and Omawunmi and what I can clearly remember is that singing foreign songs or even displaying your vocal dexterity wasn't a crime. If it was compulsory for candidates to do local pangolo songs for the show to be seen as "Nigerian Idol", like Miss Shay foolishly posits, then I dare the show organisers to switch the nomenclature to "Naija Oosa/Ojuju etc" and compel the judges to speak Yoruba, Hausa and Igbo.

Besides, in the first Idol show in Nigeria, the jury made up of seasoned music industry legend like Dede Mabiaku, Radio Joc; Dan Foster and a Ghanian lady popularly referred to as "It's not werking for me" had their independent opinions of the candidates even though one out of the trio always played the devil's advocate.

Question now is; who the hell is the devil's advocate that'll ensure a robust decision making process in the ongoing Idol show, when from all we see, all trio are sleeping with their heads in the same direction??

Reason the current panel needs to be disbanded, asides the joke Seyi Shay has made of the show by unprofessionally making mockery of young chaps she is meant to encourage, thereby wreaking psychological damages that may be indelible in the lives of the up and coming generation.

PS: I don't know the guy being auditioned in the attached pictures as I am speaking for countless others that are in my opinion, obviously far ahead of the judges musically, but were turned down.

You need a job! A demanding one.

So you wrote over a thousands words cos of Nigerian Idol!

Ofemmanutosure:
Think her name is Damilola

If it is Damilola, she really really did not sing that well. I think the judges, flawed as they were, gave her some sound advice, which if she follows, she should come back next year, ready and better.

SodO9:
I agree
That tattoo wearing DJ and seyi shey are biased and useless

That tattoo is a stick on one.

pickatyou1:
I know if bella shmurda, zlatan, Davido went to auditions like this, they probably won't have made it.

My own is those auditions have set their standards and can't see beyond it. Some are better than the Auditions and only need to be polished.

Shows like Idol are not for the real talents.

Of all the winners of American Idol, for example, very few of them have had lasting music careers. Anyone recall Jordin Sparks for example.?

One contestant on American Idol was knocked out in round 1.....three to five years later she and her band won a Grammy...

They are a waste of time.

Me no too sabi music, but watched once and I no just fall in love with the singers nor the judges. The judges criticism/comments no too address specifics about each artist attributes, more like broad criticism/comment

Seyi shey is only throwing her personal frustrations both in the industry and outside on people she can afford to to it to which are mostly the contestants.

I watched that guy's audition and it was wack, the guy was even very fake with his pronunciations(the judges also pointed that out)...all in all you created this thread to support the guy.

DJ sose has no business being a judge there.
Did you guys noticed how shayi Shay treated that igbo guy called chinedu?

Those judges should be disband joor.they lacked xposure and professionalism.

I swear down

Exactly my thought bro. This year idol is nothing to write home about, their has never being contention at all.
Tell me how a 3 man panel would all agree on a particular participant. They lack swag and the whole stuff is just damn bored
In a show like this, their are some things that has to be contested not when shey said no all others will sheepishly follow suit

I follow the show and as well as Voice Nigeria..... I can say most times on Naija idol, final decision are based on body language of DJ sosay, then Sheyi shay, Obi is most time not decisive.

You are right with most of your points, many people have complained about this especially on twitter.


Mistakes happen, they can't all be perfect! Some times they make a mistake of not selecting people with good voice, while going for some will worse performance.

I can remember a 16 year old girl that wasn't picked 2 weeks ago, still painful till today.... Sheyi shay outrance is the only terrible thing, we shouldn't be too emotional about this.

Unfortunately, this show has been recorded and they probably can't make amend on the correction part.

Make we manage am like that....


Compare it to the Jury of Voice Nigeria, these are guys that know music, top guys in the industry.

Nothing is wrong with the show, it's just bad selection of judges.

Stop been haters, I guess the writer of this post does not know how to handle rejection in life...

I do not see what is wrong with the ongoing selection of those making it to the next stage...

This is nigeria idols not your village singing competition. Only the best get the job.

Mind you Nigerian idols is what I mostly practically watch each day all the time on DStv


Shey shey is doing a good job , so are the others.


Stop hating because u were not selected

Far ahead of the judge musically, I'm provoked to disagree with you. I've heard a lot of criticism of Seyi Shay scathing opinion of artist on the show. Though I won't fully support the deployment of verbal assault to impact psychological damage and weaken the confidence of upcoming artist, the peculiarities of individual judge assessment style should be respected. I also disagree with those sighting Seyi Shay not-so-blossoming music career as a basis for undermining her presence on the show. A judge doesn't have to be Tiwa Savage or Wizkid before sharing those exalted table. That a singer song isn't on everyone lip doesn't make him/her untalented. Nigerian choice of music sometimes could defy every sense. There are many beautiful song that doesn't fly here and many good singers who aren't accorded due respect because they don't strike a cord with the style in Vogue.

Rotfl.

Seyi Shay shouldn't be there.

I don't know Obi Asika so I can't speak for his expertise.

DJ Sose, why is a DJ even there?

Unlike the Voice, there is no benchmark for quality on Nigerian Idol.

Today, Seyi cut corners for one talentless girl she knows claiming she will give her a chance cause she knows she can sing, even after a messed up performance.

I wud have preferred cuppy she more into artists, has worked with them and has an album or 2. Dj Sose is clueless outside handling a turn table and mixer.

Wel I don't have nothing to say. I just quoted because i love quoting

I don't like to criticize people but for God sake, i didn't understand what you wrote.

I started to have headaches as i got into the content of your writeup, it wasn't fun at all.

If i was an editor, i would have thrown this writeup into the wastebin.

Still Don't know why Seyi shay is called an artiste... I don't know who is better between her and tonto Dike

What do you expect when they have sponsors like “bigi”
