National Women Development Center, Garki had an influx of hundreds of ‘wanna bes’ last weekend (Sept 3rd). These hopefuls were all in their best elements in a bid to give stardom a chance.
Very early in the morning, the gate of the venue was opened to as many as would want to give fame a chance. With tangible excitement, ‘state-of-the art’ swag, crooner’s voice, participants in and around Abuja trooped out en-mass to the venue to show what they’ve got.
Â
Recently aired, the Abuja audition had a really glitzy opening, from the pristine audition venue to the arrival of the judges in style; one of them arrived in a Hummer Limousine. That day was in fact one of the judges’, Matilda’s birthday and she got a cake and lots of love on set.
Â
There was a big crowd of contestants and the judges had a filled day as usual with the good voices, the not so good and the downright injurious. Did you see the guy whose singing was like an angry cat meowing loudly? Shiver my timbers; or the guy whose self composed song was richly interspersed with shouts of ‘danger’?! Whew. A big relief it was for the judges when Kamar came in with his guitar and serenaded their souls with music so beautiful, they didn’t want him to stop playing. Altogether, I guess you’d agree with me that Abuja auditions rocked!
The search for the next music mega star continued as the train finally pulled to a halt in Lagos.
Trust Las Gidi Peeps!!!
