EIGHT contestants survived the heat and are up for viewers’ votes as The Voice Nigeria, Season 3, held its second live show over the weekend. This followed energetic performances of various songs and display of raw talents by vocalists in a bid to outdo one other as the world class talents reality series glitters to the grand finale.
To keep your favourite contestants on the show, viewers have to vote by dialing *894*7*talent’s code#.
Full details of the voting code of all contestants can be gotten in the video clip below:
Four talents, including Kitay Naomi Mac, Eazzie and Esther, who were earlier saved by the four
celebrity coaches cum judges following the first live show were joined by four other saved by
viewers out of the eight up for votes. The lucky ones were Anu, Dapo, Nuel Ayo and Kpee who
returned to team Yemi, Falz, Waje and Darey respectively for a chance to perform courtesy of
viewers’ votes as verified and endorsed by the highly respected KPMG.
Toeseen, Tamara, Inioluwa, and Jeremiah have now dropped out of the very intense
competition.
The last eight contestants all performed during the second live show to the excitement of
coaches and a small audience in compliance with Covid-19 protocols. Following the show, all
eight now depend on the viewers’ votes as the coaches can no longer save anyone and only the
top six with the highest votes will perform at the third live show.
Meanwhile, all eight talents gave great accounts of their artistry with scintillating performances
of various songs at the second live show.
It was team Yemi that opened the second live show kicking off with a natural performer, Kitay
with a cultural performance of “Ada Ada” by Flavour followed by the soprano singer Anu with an
assertive delivery of “This is Me” by The Greatest Showman.
Team Falz then took over the stage first with Naomi Mac who wowed the audience with an
emotional delivery of Whitney Houston’s classic “I Will Always Love You” followed by Dapo who
sang Dbanj’s “Fall In Love”.
It was soon Team Waje’s turn to dazzle with Eazzie’s soulful performance of “I Want to Know
What Love Is” by Foreigner, then Nuel Ayo delivering Asa’s inspirational song “Eye Adaba”.
Esther’s beautiful rendition of The Greatest Showman’s “Never Enough” ushered in Team
Darey, followed by Kpee’s awesome close out with Rema’s dance song “Lady” which got all
judges on their feet.
With an electrifying mix of pulsating musical performances, music training, glamorous fashion
and life-enriching entertainment, The Voice Nigeria 3 continues to dazzle to the very grand
finale.
Scores of vocalists have performed on the highly competitive show but dropped outgoing
through the Auditions, Blinds, Knockouts, Battles, and Live Show stages.

Communications, Folake Ani-Mumuney, reiterated that The Voice Nigeria 3 is a Reality-TV
