Here is the highlight of the best moments of the 4th episode of the second season of “The Voice Nigeria”.
The first talent of the night was #Sandra Osamor, a 25-year-old Covenant University Alumnus classical singer with a unique song choice. She said she discovered music when she was young and took notice of her unique song choice in secondary school. She sees herself as an isolated classical singer in the world of R&B and pop singers. Feeling excited and nervous simultaneously, she delivered a beautiful and “goose bumps giving” rendition of “The National Anthem”. Undoubtedly, she got four chair turn from the coaches. “Smart move singing the national anthem”, commented Waje. She chose Timi as her coach and they left the stage proudly Nigerians. The Voice Nigeria shared her audition on YouTube, where it has received over 80,000 views. “This Sandra girl should sing at the opening of every national event”, commented one YouTube user.
#Kessy Mbonu, also called Kessydris is 25 years old. She not only sings but leads her own band. She is a recording artist and runs a successful catering outfit with her mother to help fund her music. According to her, being selected for the battles isn’t a do or die affair, she would enjoy every bit of her audition. She sang “Jangilova” by Seyi Shay, and just at the last minute, Patoranking turned. She quickly directed the song to him singing, “The love I get for you o!” She got the second turn from Yemi afterward. While choosing her coach, Kessy said, “This song is a love song and I’m already in love with Patoranking”. She not only got a spot on Patoranking’s team but a hug as well. “She enjoyed herself with the song”, was her coach’s comment to her.
The next talent that graced the best moments of the night was #Blessing Isaac, a 25-year-old singer, and performer who gets a recommendation from other bands because of her outstanding performance. She grew up listening to her parents sing and her parents are her biggest inspiration when it comes to music. She sang a soulful rendition of Alicia Keys’s “Woman’s Worth” which landed her on Patoranking’s team by default. Patoranking opined, “You are in Winneranking”.
Up next was a 30-year-old teacher from a Christian family. She seeks to pursue her passion for singing and to make a career out of it. In her younger years, she had to struggle to get her father’s consent to delve into music, an approval she has since gotten and is really trying not to disappoint her father. Hoping her uniqueness distinguishes her from other talented contestants, #Makepeace Shapera passionately sang “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga, which ended in a- 3- chair turns from Timi, Waje, and Patoranking. She chose to be in Waje’s team after Waje commented, “The minute I heard your voice, I spotted a beautiful range, confidence, and attitude”.
