1st Runner Up: Marvellous Odiete

Marvellous Odiete is 33 years old. He is a graduate of the University of Ibadan. His father is a pastor and Marvellous sometimes works in the church’s music department. Marvellous has a very strong voice which he wants to learn to use better.

Having done some studio gigs to earn a living, he believes it is time for him to take the bold step and do something really big with his talent, hence his participation in the competition. Marvellous says that despite his desire to win, he only sees himself as a competitive person, but not a desperate one and so he intends to do the best he can, take advantage of the platform which MTN Project Fame West Africa presents, and see where this takes him.

Is it real friendship that the contestants share or brewing love stories? As the contestants paired up as male and female in their rooms enjoying their short break and oblivious of how time had flown. They did not even know when Ige got in to the class and she had to go call them out of their rooms.

Hmmnn! Are they building real friendships, hot romance or voting alliances? Guess time will tell what actually these contestants are up to.

Getting late to classes is a very high offence in the Academy, but in Ige's usual demeanour, she pardoned this offence and continued. (Thank God for Ige, this would not have passed in Uncle Ben's class without a major eruption). Her class was quite technical. Still on the breath control exercises and proper use of vocal chords. She did a power point presentation of the importance of these exercises. 'Twas a very insightful session.

Later in the day, the contestants scurried into the class as Uncle Ben too came in for his class. Uncle Ben in his usual element got them rehearsing for this weekend's show, it was not a good day for Marvellous at all. He was supposed to sing while dancing but the two combined together became an issue for him. Well...after trying hard and couldn't pull through, he was sent out of the class.

Later in the day, Marvellous, Kemi and Didi visited Wana at Inspiration FM canvassing for votes. It was a very interesting time for them, good to get out of the academy for a while. They enjoyed the time-out, as their fans were allowed to call in. They got lots of shout-outs and then made their way back to the Academy. Meanwhile in the Academy, Kaffy came in for her dance class and got the contestants moving to their songs. It was a very interesting time for them as they rehearsed and danced till the end of the class.

To keep them dancing in the competition, just lend your votes...
