It was a night of brilliant music and amazing performances as Nigerian Idol joined the global music industry in paying tribute to the late pop legend, Whitney Houston.

The finalists rendered the late singer’s popular songs like ‘I wanna dance with somebody’ and ‘saving all my love’ while judges including guest judge Lara George nodded in approval.

Also one of the Judges Yinka Davies, co-host Tiwa Savage and music directorKehinde Dacosta teamed up to bring the show to a final end with Whitney’s ‘Greatest Love of All’.

It was however not all rosy as the number of contestants was also cut down to 10, with A.Y.O and Ibinabo’s elimination.

In April, a new winner will be announced at a grand gala show carting home a prize worth $100,000 and an SUV.
