Lagos – It was surprise galore at the Port Harcourt theatre audition
of the ongoing Airtel sponsored Nigeria’s Got Talents Season 2 when
Kate Henshaw and Dan Foster, both judges of the talent show, walked out
on a young man, known as Heaven, for his awful performance.
The
dull and careless attitude of Heaven infuriated Kate and Dan who asked
him to stop singing immediately and leave the stage but Yibo, the third
Judge made some effort to listen to the lacklustre performance of
Heaven.
The slender built singer who hails from Port Harcourt, came on stage
with so much optimism and desire to qualify for the next round of the
competition, but gave an awful rendition of Asha’s inspirational hit
song “Oju Mo Ti Mo”, to the dismay of both judges.
Kate and Dan
had asked Heaven to leave the stage but Yibo had a contrary
opinion, insisting he wanted to hear Heaven out. It was at this point
that the two disinterested judges threatened a walkout if he continued
singing. He continued on Yibo’s order, while Kate angrily left the
stage, followed by Dan.
Yibo, who seemingly was having fun with
the lad, however gave him a thumps down to align with his colleagues
thus sealing the hopes of Heaven making the next round of
the competition.
Reports indicate that Season 2 of Airtel
Nigeria’s Got Talent show has attracted more contestants across the
country hence the array of talents expected to be discovered
when compared to last year’s

presenter of the reality TV show, lots of talents from across Nigeria

money and a shot for stardom.
