other hopefuls also looking for their ticket to fame and stardom.

impressive performances for an opportunity to win the hearts of both the judges
and the viewers at home.

songs from international artistes such as; Rihanna, Pharrell, Tyrese, Justin
Timberlake, Jill Scott, Usher Raymond, Sam Sparrow, Labrinth, Emeli Sandé and
Avicii, the first group of 10 had four golden tickets recipient from the audition
phase.
Unfortunately,
only three of the acts in the group were able to impress the judges. When asked
to sum up his experience for the day, Multi-talented entertainer and King of
R&B, Darey Art-Alade said, “Evelle, Daniel Buba and Elvis Jay, were the
three contestants that did it for me tonight.”

of viewers at home will determine who goes home or stays back to battle for the
most coveted Idol crown,” he added.
