With the X Factor singing competition drawing to an end, the atmosphere at Dream studio during the penultimate Result Show recording was unusually cautious. Head or tail, it was always going to be a bombshell. It was either Pheel, Vicky, DJ Switch, Princess Pat or Eshun to go home! And any of these can also win the star prize.

“It’s always hard seeing acts go home, what’s your frame of mind this evening?” show host Toolz asked Onyeka.

“It’s very sad because the contestants and judges have worked so hard. They are now international. We advise them to be strong,” Onyeka said. MI added, “I agree with Onyeka. These guys have made it this far out of thousands of talented people. Anytime, anybody leaves, it’s sad.”

“Reggie, you are the only judge who has all his contestants gone, and who would be the deciding factor tonight. What would you base your decision on?” Toolz asked Reggie. “I’ll base my judgments on entertainment, quality and the X Factor. I’m going to be fair because I have the swing vote. I ask for Solomon’s wisdom,” he finished thoughtfully.

Just as the audience was eager to know the bottom two contestants, Toolz announced a surprise performance by Glo ambassador Irene Logan. The Ghanaian entertainer delivered a very powerful performance that had the audience reeling under the power of her voice.
