Speaking about the Auditions and what the expectations are for the viewing public, one of the celebrity Judges and Hit maker, Darey ‘art’ Alade noted that the increase in level of competition makes the show all the more interesting.

His words,

“There is a lot of competition-new voices, new faces, I can’t wait to hear them blossom and go up the ranks I guess top 100 as we whittle down to the finalists later on as the weeks go by.” 

Also speaking on the quality of talents unearthed at the auditions, another Judge on the show, Dede Mabiaku assured on the readiness of the participants to offer viewers quality entertainment

“Wonderful talents,” he began. “more prepared minds because based on how we are going with it, the talks we had with some of them will empower them to keep working on themselves before they get to the top 100. So I think that is what we should expect, more quality this time,” he concluded.

Nigerian Idol is in its fifth season after a successful debut in 2010 won by Yeka Onka. In the following years which saw the emergence of Mercy Chinwo, Moses Adigwe and Zebili Evelyn (Evelle), it has grown in popularity and followership on the basis of the unique platforms it offers to young Nigerians with exceptional music talent. It is the only music TV reality show in Nigeria with a global appeal that currently cuts across 46 countries.

Nigerian Idol focuses on discovering Nigerian youths with talent in music and giving them a unique platform to take shots at stardom. The eventual winner goes home with N7.5 million cash reward, a brand new car, a recording deal worth N7.5 million and some high-end devices.
