All roads in Lagos and its environ led to LTV 8 premises on the 9th and 10th of September 2011. It wasn't a National Conference neither was it the venue for a Governor's town meeting, it was the audition venue of Project Fame West Africa 4. 

Very early in the morning, despite the rain, thousands of music star hopefuls flooded the gates of the audition venue in a bid to sing their way to fame. Lagos babes and guys,decked to the teeth, with top notch swag, all with just one aim, to impress the judges. The venue was great,the weather was cold and wet but the contestants were more than ready. To add colour to the event there were side attractions as some contestants  thrilled their fellow contestants with impeccable dance steps as the DJ dolled out tunes while others engaged in a rap battle. Freebies were available for the contestants also.

Tension, excitement, thrills and drama all laced the air as the contestants filed in to see the judges. while some wowed the judges, some could not perform up to expectation and of course the judges felt some other people don't have business being in the singing competition in the first place.

 

Stunning performances, the frenzied dancing outside the audition halls, and yes we discovered enough talent in Lagos. The judges were wowed; but on the other hand, we had the wacky, the unbelievably ridiculous, the lost and those living in the past. Judges must indeed be blessed with a lot of patience. One of the contestants from season 3 who passed through the Academy and made it to the final 6, Uchuko was around to encourage the contestants and give them some tips to help them impress the judges. One of the contestants was interviewed, who had gone round four audition states, Lagos being the fifth, in an attempt to get a ‘yes’ from one of the sets of judges in one of the venues!!

The days came to a halt when,despite the huge turn-out,all the contestants have been given a chance to sing for the judges.
Some got a YES,some NO while some got a "please look for another profession" verdict from the judges.

For those that got a YES,the battle has just begun...

MTN PROJECT FAME WEST AFRICA, WHATTAAAA FEEELINGGGGG......
