Kenya (Meru, Nakuru), Rwanda and Burundi

We all remember Alpha, a very energetic, kind and loving personality who won TPF 3, from Rwanda so we all know what to expect from Rwanda. Apart from great talent, it always has beautiful ladies who already have a starry look, or is that just me?

Well, Diana Tete go the first yes for a really great start. Nina Fatuma, with Lauryn Hill and the Fugees' Killing me Softly was also great and after a few performances I was wondering what happened to the guys in Rwanda, a few other yeses were recorded in Kigali and Rwanda has a good number, congratulations.

The Tusker Project Fame is expanding and for the first time ever, Burundi is participating! I like that. And to keep the standards or rather, set them, Ian Mbugua was the judge. You might know Burundi through the famous Kidum. The first ever yes for Burundi was through Pacifique who gave a really great performance that would pass for a yes from any judge! Gabriel got a yes though half heartedly from Ian who for the whole time showed that Burundi did not really impress him. Could it be because Pacifique set a higher standard for all that came after him? Samantha came out really strong and probably changed Ian's thoughts, that is a hard thing to do but Samantha had done it. Marcel provided some comedy representing the older folk. Good luck to all the pioneers from Burundi,well done.

Off to Meru, Kenya... this was a really great step for TPF going to other places in the country apart from the bigger cities. And sure enough, with the success of Faith, Angela and Elizabeth, Meru shows some promise. At Nakuru, Joel provided the occasional, much needed comedy with his "Are you laughing because am good or...." But he knows that he's got a talent, he can be an entertainer. Edwin did not make it but went on to Mombasa to audition once again. Nakuru did not start off at a good note but it caught up with a couple of yeses.
