Brammy Exits Nigerian Idol as Top 4 Shine Bright with Dual-Themed Performances

This week’s episode of Nigerian Idol Season 10 was nothing short of electrifying, as the Top 4 contestants delivered back-to-back show-stopping performances in a thrilling double-themed night celebrating “Naija Now” and the timeless groove of “Motown Classics.”

Host IK Osakioduwa opened the night with his signature charm and teased what’s ahead as fans now have the power to choose next week’s songs by voting on the Nigerian Idol website. The all-star judging panel of Ric Hassani, Iyanya, Omawumi, and guest judge 9ice brought high energy, fierce style, and sharp critiques to guide the contestants closer to the grand prize.

The tension was palpable as IK revealed the Top 4. Purp, the last woman standing, set the tone with an elegant and powerful performance of “Free Fall” by Tems that had the judges raving about her seamless blend of soft control and confident rap. She declared, “What a man can do, a woman can do better,” and proved it on stage.

Next up was crowd-favourite Mikki, whose rendition of “Commas” by Ayra Starr was packed with charisma and stellar voice control, leaving the judges and audience in awe. 9ice said it best, “You’re a great performer, I love the energy.”

Lawrence followed with “With You” by Davido ft. Omah Lay, showcasing smooth vocals and understated emotion that got the entire crowd singing along and the judges on their feet.

In a dramatic showdown between Raymu and Brammy, the final Top 4 spot went to Raymu.

Raymu delivered a tender, soulful version of “Love Me Jeje” by Tems, impressing the judges with his tone and control.

To usher in the Motown segment, the three male judges surprised the audience by appearing in full Motown costumes, dancing their way back to their seats. The energy was high, and the crowd loved it.

Here’s how the Top 4 brought their Motown moments to life:

• Purp dazzled with “Something Got A Hold on Me” by Etta James, channeling raw emotion and diva energy.

• Mikki moved the crowd with a heartfelt rendition of “I’ll Be There” by Jackson 5, with soaring falsetto and a deep connection to the lyrics.

• Lawrence grooved through “Superstition” by Stevie Wonder, blending classic flair with his own unique touch that lit up the stage.

• Raymu closed the set with “End of the Road” by Boyz II Men, pouring emotion into every lyric and earning a standing ovation.

To close the night, Brammy returned one last time with a celebratory rendition of ,“All Night Long” by Lionel Richie, turning the studio into a joyous party as contestants, judges, and the audience danced along.
