I
am sorry but the contestants will not be voting to save anyone tonight. It is
unfortunate but the road for the two ends here...”
Her words pricked not just us as the audience, or
those at home viewing but also the two contestants on stage up for eviction. Voice
coach kavutha, on behalf of the faculty said they had come up with the
unfortunate and tough decision to evict both Angel (Tanzania) and Jennifer (Kenya)
from the academy for lack of seriousness.
As she made the announcement sadly; Judge Ian’s arms
ironically were up as he welcomed the decision wholesomely and with great joy.
With the axe falling on the two; Kenya’s Fess
brought the house to its feet with a high voltage performance that saw East Africa
in return vote to keep him in the academy.
Another exemplary performance that got a positive
remark from judge Ian was by the Rwandese diva Phionah whose performance
entertained as he engaged with the crowd and judge Ian.
The Saturday night live recording at the TPF Dome
studios saw a surprise audience attendance of both Gor Mahia Football Club and
Tusker F.C fans of both teams had their fair share of mingling with teams and
taking pictures too.
The night too had its fair share of drama as Hisia
and Angel engaged in what was perceived by many as a romantic fling on stage,
when the other contestants were bidding the two goodbye.
I did ask both Hisia and Angel if what we saw on
stage was anything to write about but I ended up getting two opposite and
different scripts. Hisia said, “I have nothing to hide. What you saw is
what you write,” pressing on with that topic he said, “I guess
it’s for me to know and for you to find out!”
Angel did note that what happened was a show of love
and solidarity from a fellow country-man. “Hisia and I are close!”
Both Angel and Jennifer noted that their future
ambitions include going back to school and sticking to what coach Kavutha said
and that is to not stop singing. Jennifer said she will forever remember the
superstar treatment, security details everywhere (even when heading to the loo)
and the shopping sprees.
Angel said she will on her part hold and cherish the
hospitality she got at the academy, “for me it was a home far away from home.”
The two later were treated to a v.i.p party at the
K1 Klubhouse; where they met their fans, sang their hearts out once again and
danced the night away.
11 contestants now remain, with their eyes focused
ultimately, in the end, to make their own reality.
