MTN Hitmaker: 5 kicked out of competition
It was a usual eviction night, but what viewers
and contestants of the MTN Hitmaker Season 3
witnessed over the weekend on television was
unusual.

With three wild cards, Emperor, Kwaku Samson and
Abigail, contestants who couldn’t make it into
the final 12 but can still possibly be brought in
to compete with the contestants – performing,
the battle lines were drawn.

After breath-taking performances, great reviews
and comments from the judges, five contestants
including two wild cards were sent parking.

Unfortunately, Samson B, Ink and Fameye had to
exit the competition paving way for Emperor (a
wild card) to be a part of the eight contestants
who have made it to the next stage of the
competition, which is truly heating up.

Songbird, Raquel, passed through as guest judge
and noted that the hard work of these contestants,
week in week out, was impressive.

“These guys are really tough. Writing, recording
and producing a song every week is not an easy
job. I salute each and every one of them.”

Evicted contestant Fameye, who couldn’t believe
his fate, broke down in tears and had to be
consoled by his teeming fans backstage.

On the night, R Tay won Best Performance whiles
Torgbe won Best Dressed and Dikoder won Best
Production with most interactive fan going to
Sharon Asamoah.

Visit to the maestro’s studio

After all the pressure had died down, the
Contestants had a time with the music maestro,
Kojo Antwi, at his studio where he mentored them
on various aspects of music such as the business
aspect of music.

He also touched on the need to have a purpose for
each song composed, ways by which they can survive
in the music industry and being original even in
the kind of lyrics that they create.

He further had a session where the contestants
were given the opportunity to ask him questions
and he on the other hand answered them
appropriately.
