UPDATES
In this episode, we are introduced to a new judge who happens to be one of the best male gospel singers ever Pastor Donnie McClurkin. The guest judges are every singer’s favorite singer Kim Burrell, and Muyiwa Olanrewaju - a Nigerian CCM artist from the UK.
Over a thousand Nigerians came out to audition for a chance to compete in the U.S. for Sunday's best title. The audition was held at Eko Hotels and Suites Kuramo Waters, Victoria Island Lagos, Nigeria.
There were a couple of not-so-good performances and some did wonderful. Muyiwa (according to many viewers) came off a bit harsh. Although 4 females and 3 male contestants made it to the next round, only 1 person will qualify to represent Nigeria in the US. Tune in next sunday.
