Ms Ige’s class continued from
where it was left the previous day. Each of the contestants told her the things
they believed made their voices unique. They also told her what they believed
were the limitations regarding their vocal prowess. The session was an
interesting one as this provided all the contestants with an opportunity to
voice their fears. On the other hand, Ms Ige was also able to to get acquainted
with the voices of the greenhorn contestants. More so, she was able to see
beyond the things the contestants expressed as their limitations – which of
course would come in handy in training and getting the best out of the
contestants.
Furthermore, in what appeared to be a move to get the
best out of the contestants in the season 8 edition of the show, a couple of
changes were made regarding the instructors. From academy day 2, the
contestants were introduced to the new fitness instructor, and in the same
vein, a new choreographer – Lovette Otegbola was introduced to them on academy
day 3. After the formalities of introduction, the new choreographer took the
contestants through dance routines that would enhance their performances over
the weekend.
Uncle Ben’s class was the third and final for the day.
As expected, uncle Ben as kicked off with the usual intensity and drill he is
known for as he put the contestants through the wringer. The day however ended
on what appeared to be a sober note. In what he has come to be known for on the
show, Uncle Ben admonished the contestants on the need to brace up to the
upcoming challenges of the show. He told them to get prepared for the various
obstacles they are bound to encounter while in the competition. He explicitly
told them that Deinde and Anderson had a leverage over the others because they
had the opportunity of performing at the opening gala night that heralded their
entry into the academy.
Uncle Ben finished his class by telling the
contestants that “The fear factor is worse than being eliminated itself”.
