Performances on July 8th.

I hope you did not have to wait too long but here are some videos from the performances of the 8th of July:

Tonight TPF had some amazing performances and good shockers.... For the first time ever, Doreen is not on probation!! Is it because she was good in her performance? Certainly this time one could hear her words. But she may have been safe because some performers were just not up to task.

Jackson was a real shocker and he had an amazing performance that ensured that those who came after him had a hard time living up to his first grade performance! He did a reggae song with a twist of country music in it, now how good is that.

Now the other thing is that  Nancy is on probation the second time over, and Joe is on probation, surely I did not expect that. Ruth did an awesome song and an electrifying performance - fantastic.

Probates:
Nancy
Joe
Sharon
Steve

I think that this time around, the judges had an easy time determining who goes on probation... but now who do we save?

Vote result update:
The first vote I put up was asking who among the two South Sudan contestants would go the furthest and Nancy won with a huge margin - clearly.

I am putting up a vote to decide who to save from probation among the above 4 probates - get voting!!

Next show, you can catch all the action  here.

3rd Nomination Night Performances

With this year's theme, I would say these performances lived up to expectation especially considering the fact that this was pretty much the third time the contestants performed on stage coupling choreography and singing. As Jackson said, the challenge was keeping the singing and the dancing in a perfect balance!

The theme of this TPF 5 is "Showtime"! Great theme I would say, because it means that we as the audience are in for a energetic and entertaining treat. 

If you did not watch them perform, here are the links:

Nancy came out strong and I have to admit that I love her choice of songs, she did an awesome job with that song. Now before I spoil the excitement, go ahead and watch the performances and leave your comments below.

You can catch live TV here

Just in case you were wondering, these are the songs that were performed by the contestants. They had great song choices, most of them classical, and for most of them that worked out well because it did not get them into probation. These were live at the Tusker Dome in Nairobi.

Nancy - Yeke Yeke by Mory Kante.
Nancy is just electrifying, so much confidence and self belief you can see it on her forehead!! She's something.

Joe - Fresh by Cool and the Gang.
Some how Joe always chooses these kind of songs , I think it is because he has the looks for the songs and that makes his performances seem so natural.

Ruth Matete - Anytime You Need a Friend by Mariah Carey.
She did a great job with the song and the crowd was bringing down the roof, they must really like her!


Sharon - Ndihamba Nawe by Mafikizolo.
She made it as natural as she could and it was a great performance

Jackson - Moyibi by Pepe Kale.
As Sheila said, it is hard to believe that he was struggling with dancing and singing at the same time.


Eunice - Love Me by Tiwa Savage.
Juliana wasn't impressed by this performance especially with the vocals. She has had better performances previously and things are not looking as good for her. Get texting if you want to save her!

Steve - Sina Makosa by Les Wanyika.
His performance was just fine, nothing really captivating.


Allan - E no Easy - P square featuring J. Martins.
Personally, I don't think the performance was as electrifying... That song has so much more potential and with a theme like Showtime, this song would give you some highlight reel... He had to do much better than that I believe. As Juliana said, he needs to add some twist to his performances. Gerrard nailed it with his comment that this song is a powerhouse, with African rhythm.


Samantha - Nadina by Mbilia Bel.
Now for those who did not understand what Juliana was talking about a twist to songs, this is an epitome of it. Take the song and sing it like it was your own. She owned it!

Doreen - I'll be Your Babe Tonight by Whitney Houston.
And she does it again, she chooses a song by Whitney Houston, I think she does so because she believes that she has the voice to match Whitney's. Somehow she's always having some trouble with the judges and from Ian's comments, I think she's just not audible enough. She however did a great job.


Apart from the contestants' performances, there was Jackie Chandiru from Uganda performing Gold Digger, awesome performance and also a good word of advice to the contestants. Thanks Jackie.
