The first elimination show of the Project Fame Season 9 featured the exit of one contestant and the entrance of another two who got admitted into the Academy via the Wild Card contest.

Benjamin and Blessing, who were part of the four contestants eliminated at the Opening Gala (Top 18) got a second shot at the competition for garnering enough views and likes on their performance videos.

On the other hand, Kingsley, Amanda, and Israel who walked the 5900 audio/video audition path to fame were also short listed because they got highest video views and likes.

So to start the evening, these five Wildcard hopefuls- Benjamin, Blessing, Kingsley, Israel, and Amanda battled it out on stage for the last 2 slots into the Project Fame Academy. In the end, the Judges picked Blessing and Benjamin.

The moment of truth also came for the contestants on probation- Dapo, Favour, Oluchi, and Yusuph. While the Judges commended their improvement as they each performed the songs that got them into probation again, the fact remained that one person still had to leave. The surest and easiest way out of probation is through the viewers’ votes- Yusuph was the lucky one who took this way out. Oluchi on the hand was saved by the Faculty while Dapo was given a second chance by the other contestants. Sadly, it was the end of the road for the beautiful and talented Favour who performed one last time before she took a bow out of the competition.

The ongoing show is being featured on some local and continental TV stations.

Moving on from the emotional chapter of having to say goodbye to one of their fellow contestants- Favour, the remaining 15 contestants showcased their vocal prowess as they entertained everyone with some all-time best songs from the pop music genre.

In the second nomination, the Judges faulted some of the contestants based on their lack of stage presence, emotions, and clear understanding of their materials/songs.

Hence, Mirabel (10), Pere(13), Solomon (15), Winner (17), and Yusuph (18) were placed on probation, and they will now be counting on the viewers’ votes to sustain their stay in the Academy.
