Perfection:2face and MTN project fame contestants offer splendid renditions of 2face's songs

 
African music legend  2face Idibia was a guest judge on Music reality show Project Fame West-Africa and it was a night to remember as each contestant performed their own renditions of 2face's songs. It was a night of laughter and great music as 2face couldn't believe what the contestants were doing with his songs. He had great remarks for every one of them.   


Whether it was Christian’s rendition of ‘African Queen’, Daniella’s emotionally laden ‘True Love’, Ruky’s ‘See Me’, Geoffrey’s ‘Only Me’ or Ugo’s ‘Implication’, the energy and vocal dexterity put into each performance was incredible. As well, there was sheer grace in Clement, Emeka and Shola’s deliveries and Debbie who seemed to have more work to do. The approval from the judges, however, confirmed the contestants are finally emerging true stars.

When the ‘living legend’ himself took to the stage, he sang with such ease and mastery – such that, for once, music became a piece meal. With every lyric, the audience seemed to leave the shell of their bodies and become as one with Tu Face Idia. It was a great night. One that Flourish, who was eliminated a night earlier, would have missed.
