It was not a pleasantly memorable night for some of the contestants notably Solomon, Meyar and David. Expectedly, there was a rain of knocks from the judges. 

 “They cliq you enter, but instead of you to cliq yourself in, you choose to cliq yourself out. That’s what is called sacrilegious. That ojoro no go work,” stated Dede while commenting on Solomon’s performance.

On his own part, Darey had this to say about Meyar’s performance.  

“You expression was incredible, but wrongly directed. You had a slippery start. Your delivery of that song should have been more subtle, but you took a harsh, piercing approach.”

Speaking further about the overall performances on the night, Darey had this to say: 

“This set of eleven is not bad at all. They tried their best to put in the work-some of them sleepless night and over singing killed them today, but some really came shining too. Some of them took the songs that did not suit their kinds of voice, but that happens, and it’s a competition. Somebody must make mistakes for somebody else to win. It’s not always in the winner’s hands alone, it’s a mixture of things such as wrong an opponent’s mistakes, wrong choice of songs, etc.”
