Thevoicenigeria: Epic Way To Kick-start Season 2

THethrill and excitement of Thevoicenigeria hit fever pitch as the show returned on Sunday, June 18, exclusively on Africa Magic Showcase (Dstv 151) and

Africa Magic Urban (Dstv 153).

The coaches, Waje, Patoranking, Timi Dakolo and newest in on the show, Yemi Alade (aka Mama Africa) got the show underway with a medley of their individual tracks and this set the tone for the contestants’ blind auditions which followed.

Though it is the first episode of new season, the coaches are all fired up for the competition. Waje, the winning Coach from Season one is looking to make it two for two but her fellow coaches might have other ideas, and their opening performances said it all.

Timi Dakolo kicked off proceedings by walking on stage singing the lyrics to his now familiar hit single, Medicine. His performance was such convincing, almost as if he was sending a veiled statement of intent to his fellow coaches as to what kinds of talents he would be looking for this season.

With the medley to medicine fading off, the winning coach, Waje struts onto stage in time to the tunes of Konko Baby. The warm reception from the audience seemed to spur her on as she delivered what may be considered a flawless stage performance and laying down the marker.

The self-appointed leader of team skylevel, Patoranking, decided to show the other coaches that he had the unwavering support of his fans as he popped up in their midst delivering the lyrics to his new hit single, Thiskind Love.

Not to be outdone by anybody, the sound of the buzzer and her swivelling red chair unveiled the new coach, Yemi Alade. She belted out the lyrics to her hit single Charliee as she sashayed on to stage to join the other coaches, all the time keeping in tune with her performance.

With the performances from the coaches done, it can be safely said they (coaches) have all laid down their markers and pretty much intimated as to what kinds of quality they would expect from the talents on display.

At the end of Sunday’s episode, first time coach, Yemi Alade signed on her first three talents as Ifeoma Onu, Jahnomso Ilem and Olanrewaju Omowa joined her team #Teamyemialade, while #Teamtimi signed on Emmanuel Precious and Jahtell Ilem. Favour Idugbe who got all four coaches very excited and Afolayan

Adeleke joined #Teampatoranking, while #Teamwaje signed on Zorah Julius.
