The show itself lived up to expectations. Sean Tizzle was a
handful as he used his gift and stage craft to hold the audience spell-bound
leaving no one in doubt that he is made for greater things. The crowd
comprising largely students of the two tertiary institutions in the ancient
city was pleased by the MTN brand ambassador.
One of the students at the concert expressed his
satisfaction with the young artiste’s performance saying, ‘Sean Tizzle is more
in tune with the desire of the youths and I’m happy to see him perform live’.
Chidinma Ekile, the ‘Kedike’ crooner delivered a gusto
performance. She started by urging a minute silence for the singer, Keffe, who
was reported dead that morning. The mood occasioned by the departed songstress
gave way for a lively and engaging performance by the petite songstress.
The icing on the cake were performances by D’Prince and
Sound Sultan. D’Prince was hilarious. He exemplified what every Mavin act
epitomises: stage craft and energy. Sound Sultan showed up with his full band.
They were a marvel all through the night.
There were great performances from Project Fame’s past
contestants such as Adetoun and Omolayo. The two lived up to their rising
profile: the former as the ‘next Waka Queen’, the latter, the next classical music biggest artiste.
Meanwhile, the auditions to select a new batch of
contestants for this year’s Project Fame academy also took place in the city,
precisely at Kwara Hotel. Hundreds of youth trooped out to audition for the
reality show. Also in Abuja, report has it that the audition staged in the
nation’s capital was well attended. It was reported that an enthusiastic youth
population came in droves to exhibit their talents for a chance to be famous
and rich.
The next auditions will take place in Port Harcourt and
Ibadan. That will be a week from now. The next concert will be held in Lagos,
exactly two weeks from the last concert in Ilorin. The venue is the LTV Lagos
premises. According to the organisers, it promises to be fun with MTN
ambassadors and Project Fame past contestants in attendance.
