For the group of four boys singing under the name
SmoothBoiz, it was indeed a smooth sail into the next round of X Factor, the
singing reality show brought to Africa by Globacom.
The group, made up of 25 year-old
Victor, Festus (24), David (23) and Peter (25), was one of the highlights of
Episode 6 of the show broadcast last weekend. Their superb performance got the
three judges saying “Yes, Yes, Yes”.
Singing “Little Boy” by Paul Simon,
the group got a standing ovation from the audience and left the judges
momentarily speechless.
“I had just died and gone to heaven.
Oh boy, this is what it is all about, this is why we are here,” Onyeka
declared. Rockstone said of the group, “You are blessed. Talent! Amazing!” M.I.
also shared their sentiments. Shaking his head in admiration for a few seconds,
the rapper stated, “It is a big, big yes for me. See you in the next round.”
But it was not just their beautiful
rendition of “Little Boy” that caught the attention of the judges and the
audience. One of the boys, Victor, stood out not only because of his good
looks or because he was the lead singer.
It was rather for his artificial
right leg which was obvious from the way he walked to the stage. The handsome
and smooth singer had lost one of his legs when a lorry ran over it a few years
ago and now uses a prosthesis but this he says has not affected his
determination to make a career in music.
Victor,
the rest of the group said, was a major motivation to win the X
Factor N24 million prize money. “We want to be able to buy him another
prosthesis,” they stated.
Meanwhile, a major highlight of
Episode 6 of X Factor was the inspiring story of 21 year-old blind mulatto
singer, Mary Musa Owoyemi.
