The Voice Nigeria Season 3 is here and fans are super excited. The first episode (Blind Audition) was super amazing with the coaches giving their verdicts and turning their chairs without being bias. The audition is called “Blind Audition” because the coaches don’t get to see who’s singing.
On the new season of The Voice Nigeria, two new coaches were added and they are: Falzthebhadguy and Darey Art Alade. The sponsors of the music reality TV show maintained Waje and Yemi Alade as coaches.
On the first episode of The Voice Nigeria Season 3, six contestants auditioned by performing on stage. Only four (4) out of the six were picked and they were all females. The two young guys who performed weren’t all that good but they are still great singers.
The main host of this season is Nancy Isime, while the co-host is the beautiful Toke Makinwa. Two of the contestants picked Yemi Alade, while one picked Falz and another one picked Darey. None of the contestants picked Waje. The audition is still on, this is just the first episode.
