The search for who continues to stay in the Mentor 2 house is still on just as the fear of who would be the next evictee keeps rising among the contestants.
Last Sunday?s eviction process was brief and exciting as presenters Fiifi Ashun and Anita Erskine expertly managed to tone down the usual anxiety and suspense associated with that aspect of the show.
This time, they did not call the contestants one after the other but would collectively command about three or four of them to leave the stage because they had been maintained in the house.
Though they made it obvious for the audience to know those who would stay in the house, the MCs saved them from the extreme shock usually experienced when the evictee was eventually announced.
Fiifi quickly came in with the sad announcement and swiftly followed it with a friendly smile and said ? In any case, the evictee did put up a good performance as well as all the others. Please give them a round of applause.?
Seth Adams, 21, thought the judges? criticisms and instructions to work on his ?childish, nasal voice? was encouraging but that did not guarantee him another week in the house.
His performance of American gospel musician Michael W. Smith?s This Is My Desire unfortunately failed to impress the judges and the general public.
His ambition of becoming a Marketing Executive looks brighter since he is currently pursuing a Marketing Course but he is now left with the decision of whether to forget about music as a career or forge ahead despite his continuous failures in that field.
Seth was one of the contestants in Charter House?s Stars of The Future, another talent hunt show held earlier this year. Though he managed to pull through to an appreciable stage in the competition, he could not make it among the final six.
Mentor 2 offered him the chance to improve on his singing abilities but the judges and the voting public did not seem satisfied at the pace of his progress and had to vote him out of the house.
However, the fun and excitement felt in the studio was not only due to the contestants? performances of foreign gospel songs but also the two guest judges, gospel musicians O.J. and Akosua Agyepong.
Akosua thrilled the crowd with her appearance clad in a black outfit and a black hat with a black mask over her eyes.
Her costume was reminiscent of the American adventure movie The Mask of Zoro, starring Antonio Banderas and Anthony Hopkins, in which the hero, Zoro, normally wore the same costume.
?Mentor is a big show and I just wanted to look extraordinary for the event.? She told Graphic Showbiz in an interview.
O.J. also shook the studio with a powerful performance of his Obi Nya W?aye song. Viewers at home missed all the liveliness in the studio as everybody got up on his or her feet to dance along with his performance during the commercial break.
Their comments as judges were also fair and good. In O.J?s case, he had to be objective and very professional despite his close relationship with one of the contestants, Sandy.
O.J. revealed to Graphic Showbiz that he met the Ashanti Regional contestant, who is popularly called Obolo, in 2000 when they backed one Pastor Kwame Nti at Abnat Studios in Kumasi.
He later featured her on one of his songs titled Kosoa Na koso and had been working with her ever since.
According to close sources, Sandy confronted him after last Sunday?s show and complained that he acted like a total stranger to her during the programme to which he replied ? I was there as a judge, not as an acquaintance. I had to be professional.?
O.J. is currently working with Prince, winner of Mentor 1, in rewriting and arranging the songs on his album which is to be released soon.
Meanwhile, come next week, the public would face the task of voting one of the first three evictees, Anita Nageh, Michael Ashong and Seth Adams, back into the house. Who would it be?
