The performance of the group tearing the heart of Timi Dakolo. Coach Timi supported by her talents, and Jahtell Idylle, gave an emotional performance of her new song "Find You It" dedicated to the memory of Eric Arubayi and BELEMA. From lyrics to delivery, we were reminded why Timi is still relevant for the decade later after bursting into the music scene through a singing competition.

The hosts. Ik Osakioduwa and Stephanie Coker Aderinokun were in great shape. They watched every inch of the game with two custom modifications. Their delivery was friendly and synchronized. Each of them worked the camera with their infectious personality and its flawless presentation.

Production values. From stage to studio audience, 'The Voice Nigeria' scored an A + in the delivery of a superbly produced show. The live show was on the point and maintained in time.

The Wow version of 'Fairy Fairy' by Phyno. Just like his name, I marveled the audience with his energy performance that kept everyone standing and singing. An entertainer at heart, this is only the beginning of great things for this consummate musician.

Idyl. The man of the night remained faithful to his sound with great choices of song; 'You Suppose Know' by Bez ft Yemi Alade and 'This Time' by John Legend. His vocal interpretation of the two songs showed Waje's words: "Idyl is the real deal".

Misses

Choice of song. Syemca performed "Back to the Matter" by Maleek Berry ft WizKid, while Ebube sang "Come Closer" by WizKid with Drake. While these are superb songs in their own right, for the final of the season, the competitors had to show their vocal cuts, the show after all, it's all the voice.
