Hot on the heels of M-Net’s versions of Survivor, Idols and Big Brother, comes the sizzling Naija Sings, a ‘never been done before’ competition for Nigeria’s brightest and boldest vocal talent...
What comes next for a television company that’s progressively pioneered its way into African television history for over a decade? What do you do when you’ve already successfully produced some of the world’s biggest television formats?
The answer for pan-African television operator M-Net is to create their own, brand new, exclusive and original, music reality series and launch it, right here, in Nigeria!
Hot on the heels of M-Net’s African versions of Survivor, Idols and Big Brother, comes the sizzling new series Naija Sings, a ‘never been done before’ competition for Nigeria’s brightest, and boldest vocal talent.
And the best part? Naija Sings is open to a wide range of musical acts, so whether you’re a sensational soloist, or part of a divine duo or even if you’re part of a group groove (of 5 persons or less), you too can enter.
At stake for the winner or winners, is a cool USD 100 000 and the opportunity of a lifetime…the chance to join some of Africa’s biggest names and to perform at the 2009 Channel O Music Video Awards!
“To say that M-Net is incredibly excited about Naija Sings is putting it very mildly,” says M-Net’s Director for Africa Biola Adekanbi from her office in Lagos.
“We just can’t wait to get out there and start rolling out this new series country-wide. Nigeria is the perfect place for a series like this – astonishing music versatility with an undeniable passion for song and a pure determination to succeed.
She goes on to explain that, “Naija Sings is a completely original format, so that in itself, says how committed we are to this market – we’re actively going out into the country and creating major customized series that best fits the culture and audience demand here.”
Produced for M-Net by Storm 360 Ltd and NeverMachine, Naija Sings is set to hold auditions in seven cities (Abuja, Bauchi, Calabar, Enugu, Jos, Kaduna and Lagos) and would-be entrants need only be over the age of 18, and in possession of valid proof of Nigerian citizenship to enter the competition.
In line with M-Net’s fresh approach to a brand new show, Naija Sings will have no audition judges, so there’s no nerve-wracking wait to hear the judges’ comments at your very first audition for the series.
Simply head out to an audition venue, step into one of the custom designed audition booths and sing one-minute of your selected song, without using backing tracks or instruments.
Your audition will be taped and shortly thereafter, if you’ve been successful, you will be called to advise you the details of your next stage performance. It’s that simple.
Finalists who make it past audition one will then be invited to perform at a Regional Final where three celebrity judges will evaluate their talent once more. Two contestants from each region head into the TOP 14 at which point audience members take over the judging.
Then it’s all up to the audiences to vote to keep their favourite finalists in the running and to take these performers all the way to the biggest show in town, the Naija Sings Final, fittingly set to be recorded on Nigeria’s Independence Day, October 1 and screened on October 3.
But for now all eyes are turning to the first auditions in May and entrants are urged to keep watching M-Net and logging on to the website for audition details and more information on the series.
Meanwhile, DStv audiences can get ready to see all the Naija Sings action and attitude, including footage from the auditions, when the series begins on M-Net on July 11. Each week a different musical genre will be profiled including Afrobeat, Fuji, Afro Juju, Naija Classic Pop, Naija Contemporary Hits, Highlife as well as International R&B, Soul and Motown Classics and audiences can look out for special celebrity guests performers!
So if you thought that you’d seen it all and heard it all on TV, think again.
Naija Sings has begun!

This is the show of Africa!!! Nothing like this anywhere but on MNET Africa.Its hot,mature and fun.Not too serious and just for everyone in the family,old,young. I love it and i wish something like this could come to Cameroon. Its amazing. I loved Angelic Voices,voted for them but its sad they got knocked out of the show.They were second on my list coz wonderful,excellent Jon was first.He is a very good and talented singer.He has the charisma any artist is supposed to have.Good job MNET Africa. |

tarila's got the voice, but he does not have the charisma that Jon has. I'm talking about total package and not only the voice. An artist needs to have a personality and a good voice. But seriously Tarila is lacking in the latter. |

I don't know what happened to Jon last weekend, his performance was not impressive. I don't know... maybe because he was at the bottom two. Anyways, If i've not seen his other performance before, I would have thought otherwise, but he still got my vote.
Tamara was off the hook!!!
Tarila Tarila, that guy does not have any charisma at all and his performance was dismal.
Riola's performace is not it
Victor was good in his 2nd song. He got into the song at the middle/end of it. |

Victor Riola,are trying though but Tamara stands out high from crowd. She is so gooooooooooood and matured on stage.now am xpecting either john or tarila to be out all d same victor needs to be careful and he shuld learn from ovie's eviction he shouldnt be too relaxed abt wat d judges are saying cos he mit be the next to be evicted

tamara has been a back-up singer for so many artist. she has trained her voice over the years. I believe she should be waxing her own album by now and not competing with people in naija sings. I believe it is cheating. Look at Ego that used to sing for lagbaja, she left Lagbaja and pursued her own musical talent. I believe that's what tamara should've done and leave the talent hunt for people like Jon and the rest. |
| 55 |
 |
kelly24:
16/09/09
kokolet aw many times av u seen tamara take lead in lagbajas song so forget dis one u are talking about she is still new in d industry its not what u think.she is still a young chap |
| 56 |

kelly24:
16/09/09
ego as spent 15years with him but tamara is just about 4years |
| 57 |
 |
kokolet2:
16/09/09
Kelly24, it seems u don't understand what I'm saying. Tamara like u said has spent 4 years with lagbaja, she is also a backup singer for tosin martins, that means she's got the voice training over some years. But others in the competition have not done any professional singing like tamara so you can;'t compare the two. I still maintain that tamara shoul not have been in that competition. she should have left it for the undiscovered talents. |

IN THE WESTERN WORLD, TALENTS ARE CELEBRATED AND NOTURED WHEN FOUND INSTEAD OF KILLING THEM. BUT HERE IN OUR AFRICAN WORLD WE FIND, CRITICISE AND POSSIBLY KILL BEFORE LIME LIGHT. IN THE U.S.A AND EUROPE, THERE ARE SO MANY YOUNGER TALENTS THAN JON. BUT THEY WERE HARNESSED INTO PROFESSIONALISM AND MADE THEIR COUNTRIES PROUD. THE JACKSON FIVES, LIL BOW WOW, MASTER P'S SON, AMERICAN IDOLS, CHRIS BROWN, SHAUN KINGSTON, ETC WERE YOUNGER THAN JON WHEN THEY BECAME STARS AND MADE MILLIONS IN DOLLARS. |

holiness:
20/09/09
WELL, IF TAMARA HAS BEEN SELECTED BEING THAT SHE IS ALREADY AN EXPOSED AND EXPERIENCED SINGER AS A BACK UP FOR OTHER PROFESSIONALS, I THINK IS TO SET A STANDARD FOR THE FRESHERS BUT THAT SHE IS NOT DOING AT THE MOMENT BCOS THE FRESHERS ARE GIVING HER A VERY TOUGH AND HOT TIME IN THE COMPETITION. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGING AND SCREEMING, TAMARA SCREEMS. SHE SHOULD HAVE JOINED THE PROJECT FAME WHERE SHE COULD HAVE MET GOOD SINGERS AND SHE WOULD HAVE BEEN EVICTED AT THE FIRST ROUND.

What is this thing about Project Fame? Are you saying Poject Fame Provides stiffer challenge! Rubbish! The quality of contestant we have on Naija sings is incomparable. In fact the worst here is better than the best in any of the musical shows ever produced in Naija. of course excluding West African Idol. Timi is Genius! |

If you think Tamara shouts, have you thought of the Inconsistency in Jon? He breaks sometimes you know. in fact He himself admitted at a point he didnt do well, because he didnt like doing a particular song. Tamara did every song better than the original singer. I doubted her not when she said she will like to do Beyonce better than Beyonce! |

Why are you not takin on Tarila/Riola. Others have had more Highlight than tamara. What make you think Tamara will win the competition, and if you think not, then don't just kill yourself, tryin to pull someone down so that you can get sympathy vote for Jon. Terrible! |

I hope Riola isn't feeling too bad about her eviction? She should be told that it wasn't really her singing that got her this far but her Charisma, otherwise Ovie should have being in the top 3, but she lacked Charisma! Tarila also lacks Charisma and that is why Jon is beating him to it, otherwise I think Tarila MAY just be better. Tamara got it all! Everything! No story! |

aramyde1:
28/09/09
anyway now my comment.... i agree, i do blv it was riola's charisma and not voice that got her this far.be that as it may she still got my vote over and over, cos her voice may not have been as great as the others..,tho it is still good) but she was able to do more with it than those with just raw potential...

i mean, imagine having all d ingredients to a great meal mashing it all up with no spice or salt and serving it in a plastic plate. then having maybe 60 - 70% of those ingredients, cooking them just right, with appropriate seasoning and serving in a beautiful ceramic platter..now that's wat i'm talking.. well she's gone now, i'll shift to tamara even tho she's more experienced and so seems to have an unfair advantage. but let's face it she's good . after her, jon. tarila, u need more GINGER!
|
| 95 |
 |
positivekay:
28/09/09
Aramyde1, you are very correct! the ingredients are of course part of the recipe of delivering a good song. Riola has got all the recipe! She is scintillatingly lovable! (permit me). She got my votes also you know. Yes she's got the GINGER the SWAGA! |
| 96 |
 |
positivekay:
28/09/09
Aramyde1, talking about "unfair advantage" the organizers determine what unfair advantage is therein in the contest. There were rules and requirements stipulated by the organizers b4 u are allowed even to participate in the audition I think, so if Tamara satisfied all the conditions, I wonder wherein the 'unfair advantage'. |

on a scale of ten,tarilla- vocally 8/10,charisma-2/10;jon vocally 6/10, charisma 9/10.my vote goes to the swagger king of naija sings: jon.
do not see a reason why an experinced singer, judged by her boss in the preliminaries be allowed to be in the competition.i think she should come 3rd. |

Adee, shirley009ish, I feel 4 u guys. I guess u probably dont knw dat these guys ar all experienced, except that one is more experienced than d other. Ask Jon how many times he's been practicing singing, even in church, he would tell u how his Church choir master used to drill him, same for Tarila, and Tamara, Ovie etc. Are u guys thinking it's a joke 4 someone to sing on stage hitting high notes! without practice overtime. That Tamara is more experienced I think is the problem. can u blame her. |

Now For every game, there are rules, terms and conditions. Here d rule does not say an experienced back up singer does not qualify to participate I think, in fact Tosin Martins during the auditioning confirmed that Tamara backup for him, no big deal! I am sure d rule will frown at an experienced lead singer who probably had produced or recorded an album, but Tamara never did!. |

The rule just like in most of the shows disapprove the experience of a lead singer who had recorded an album but definitely not the experience of a back up singer. If you watched American Idol Season 6, a lady by name Lakisha I think, referred to by Simon as "Small tiger" was a back up singer, she wasn't disqualified, or seemed to organisers as having unfair advantage. I will advise that b4 you start campaigning here for Jon please read Comment No.89, maybe u'll av a rethink. laugh?! |

Campaigning for Jon? Read COMMENT NO 89. Poor Lad! All the girls are gonna vote for him. Most of we guys for Tamara, and then maybe a few for Tarila, since the girls would say He doesn't have "GINGER" haba! I hope this GINGER thing does have to do with looks! It appears it's gonna be Pretty Face or love struck Females versus Genuine Males. I hope we have enough males! Anyway our girls go give us their votes, join am 4 Tamara! |

PositiveKay - Check out the Polls and you will understand their Frustrations. It's only natural for them to react that way, how come they did not say all these stuff about Tamara, why now? Frustrations in the air Bruv - People are going with the truth, and the truth is Tamara 'THE QUEEN OF NAIJA SINGS' Let's stay out of this page for now till Tonite, the page is only meant for distraction, we need to dedicate more of our time voting for Tamara and Let the Anti-Tamara Groups continue de Struggle. |

In all fairness, Tarila sounds better than Jon, Jon's first performance was superb! I love the guy. Tarila seemed 2 av improvd even on his Swagger trying 2 add "GINGER". Jon is a young lad,fun 2 be wit as attested 2,even by Queen Tamara. But...Hmm... The trouble I envisage in both Jon and Tarila is their not been able 2do songs dat are not purely American style or R&B. When they tried doing Naija songs they came too refined, not raw as it would be expected. Did u listen to Kokoroko! by Tamara! |

Tamara is the best of the 3.ther's nothin wow abt Tarila..as for Jon,he's gud,knows how to carry the audience,has the looks,at a very young age he's singing like this but somtyms goes off key..sincerely I must commend him.But there's a wide gap btwn Tamara and Jon..Tamara is far better,she's always on point,striking the correct note..I mean,you need to listen to KOROKO again..that has been the best performance on the show.Cheers to Tamara;Naija sings winner in advance. |

Yeah! I noticed Tamara and Jon are always sitting so close together while Tarila resorts to fate...hearphone. What do they have in common that is cutting off Tarila? Anyway, may be it is the GINGER thing or what else could it be? You know they both have... while Tarila does not. I hope this young Lad is not trying something here! If Tamara wins and Jon wins Tamara, who wins eventually Jon! osanabua! |

As at the last day of voting, the opinion poll indicated Tamara almost doubling Jon's. Also the opinion poll on who's to perform also clearly confirmed TAMARA superiority. These votes were online and the results almost in real time. The real Voting was not though, and if something happened to have upturned TAMARA's votes (about 65%) on opinion polls in favour of JON then it could only have been a "GINGER"! This is may be another case of EKITI state RE-RE-RUN! |

JJ-KBOSSUO, see what you have caused.Hmm? I suspected it was going to be FEMALE VS MALE, love struck females could be very committed to their itinerary, while Males could only boast. I am sure those committed, love stricken females delivered for JON. In all fairness TAMARA was far better. I will please encourage the organisers of Naija Sings to see how they can produce TAMARA big time! She is a bundle of talent. Quote me; She may be better than even Beyonce! |
