Nigerian Idol Season 8: I’ll like to work with Constance — Chisom

Recently evicted Nigerian Idol season 8 contestant, Chisom Obi Emmanual, has revealed that he would like to record a song together with fellow contestant, Constance. Chisom, who was part of the season’s top seven, was eliminated in week eight of the show, after failing to garner enough votes from viewers. Constance, at 17, was the youngest contestant for the season and was evicted in week seven.

Speaking in a post-eviction interview about a fellow contestant he would like to work with, Chisom said Contance will be a perfect duet partner. “Constance. I love the way she sings and her idea of music. We will definitely make good music together,” he said.

The singer described his Nigerian Idol journey as amazing but was a bit sad that his mother was in the studios to witness his eviction from the show. He said, “My journey here has been amazing. I met a lot of beautiful and amazing talents. I am grateful to God for taking me to this level. I was really not shocked about the elimination. My only pain was that my mother was there. So sad, inviting my mother to watch me eliminated.”

On what he would change about his last performances, Chisom said, “It would be my choice of song for last week.” Chisom chose to perform ‘Holiday’ by Rema in week seven, but the rendition was not able to secure him enough votes from viewers into the top six.

Touching on the major highlights of his Nigerian Idol journey, Chisom said, “My memorable performance on the show was the Asake song performance that got me the first standing ovation of the season.” The singer delivered a splendid rendition of ‘Peace Be Unto You’ by Asake to a loud ovation from the audience.

On his plan for the future, Chisom said Nigerian idol has equipped him, and the audience should be on the lookout for something special from him. “I’ve learnt hardwork, patience, and timeliness on the show. I am taking these lessons and going to use them on my next journey as a performer and entertainer. So expect something big and supernatural from me. I didn’t come here to play. This was a big platform. I am not going to take this for granted. I will make good use of it. You guys should watch out for me,” Chisom said.
