As the Bigi sponsored Nigerian Idol Season 7 Live Show draws near, contestants for the auditions have come to realize that exceptional talent is the only way to get the golden tickets for the music reality show billed for March 20.

It has been another exciting season of drama and rousing musical contest for music lovers and upcoming artists as Bigi carbonated soft drinks (CSD), from the stable of Rite Foods, refreshes contestants with its 13 variants that have set the pace in the industry.

Itohan, a 17-year-old student, was one of the stars of the day. The teenager thrilled the judges with her beautiful rendition of Andra Day’s ‘Rise Up’. Her performance was accompanied by the piano and got a golden ticket for her performance.   Matthew Idu, a 23-year-old student also wowed the judges with his rendition of Timi’s Dakolo’s ‘Iyawo Mi’. Idu’s rendition was particularly emotional as he revealed to the judges that he had vocal training to learn to speak again after a near-fatal accident.

Others who got golden tickets include Abigail, Gerald, Faith, Enato, Azuka, Jitey, and Chris.

There was also a handful of less melodious renditions for the night. There was Obinna, who got a ‘No’ from the judges. For Jennifer, Nicholas, Emmanuel, Clinton, Nzebuike, Christopher, Olamide, and Robert, their hopes of becoming the next Nigerian Idol crashed as they did not get golden tickets.

As the live show kick-starts in March, the contestants with the golden ticket will be showcasing their musical prowess to outwit one another to get the winning prize of N100,000,000 (One Hundred Million Naira) worth of prizes, which include a recording deal from a label, a brand-new SUV, cash prizes, and other exciting gifts.
