THE VOICE: MEMORY LANE

The VOICE NIGERIA is an adaptation of The Voice of America. This is a popular American TV show which in itself was based on the original The Voice of Holland. Prior to its commencement last year, many were sceptical about the possibility of adapting something of such standard as the Voice of America to the typical Nigerian system. But the organisers, Airtel, in collaboration with Coca-cola, proved themselves capable in all regards. They successfully blended the American version with the needed Nigerian flavour.

However, it was hard to miss how the Voice Nigeria tried to emulate its American counterpart. This conclusion could be made considering the use of the same pattern of activities and the fact that the shows were not done live in Nigeria. At first, this didn’t go down well with most Nigerians. But as the season drew on, it was clear that the Nigerian version was for Nigerians and by Nigerians. The burst of energy and native indentations that emitted from the judges amassed the attention of viewers.This was mostly seen anytime they tried to persuade the contestants to be in their team. Also, several Nigerian songs received popular attention.

Vtpass.com has over the year served as a leeway enabling thousands of Nigerians to watch their favourite contestants sing. The quick, convenient payment services offered, whereby you can, from anywhere, buy your internet data and renew your data subscription has proven quite timely.

THE VOICE: SEASON ONE

The first season started on the 10th of April 2016. Four coaches were appointed to select and guide twelve singers each through the drills of the season.

The coaches included the retro song slayer himself Tuface; the vocally gifted Waje; Patoranking, the king of reggae dancehall and Timi Dakolo, winner of the Nigerian Idols season one and the king of souls. Besides the backstage selection

process, there were blind auditions where the coaches get to pick their choice contestants. This was followed by the battle rounds and live shows. After an exciting three months of good music, Arese from Team Waje emerged the winner. While Chike from Team Patoranking became the second runner up.

With the promise of a more spicy season, The Voice season 2 began on the 18th of June 2017. And so far, the show has showcased several been talented singers. This leaves one attesting to the fact that Nigeria is a bed-stone of fresh, raw potentials. Also, the judges offset a beautiful Afro-centric approach right there in their red seats. While Timi Dakolo proves to be a down-to-earth Bayelsan guy who flaunts pidgin beautifully, laughs easily and throws funny antics on stage, Patoranking has formed the habit of treating his chair like a hot seat, cheering and registering his words in our minds with slangs like Winneranking.

YEMI ALADE

Not only that, there is a new addition, Yemi Alade a.k.a Mama Africa. And she is such a natural. To say the least, Yemi Alade with her karate patterned fashion statement has become a companion to Waje. They haggle over issues together. They also contest over the amazing upstarts in brawls like typical Nigerian women do and even hold hands when touched by a song.

UPCOMING: THE LIVE SHOWS

So far, the blind auditions and the battle rounds have been completed. Several contestants have successfully been selected by their respective coaches to go on to the live show which is to start this weekend. These contestants include:

PREMIER LEAGUE: THE UPS AND DOWNS

Have you been skipping on the happenings of the English Premier League as it unfolds on the field? Then you are missing out on a lot of fun. Catch up on the subsequent matches by logging on to vtpass.com and renewing your cable TV subscription now. In the meanwhile, you would want to know what has been in vogue for the past weeks.

  1. Chelsea receives thrashing at home

For their very first match, Chelsea receives a brutal 3-2 defeat at the hands of Burnley FC. Sean Dyche, the manager of the winning club, proves that last year’s failure does not limit this year’s success. But more than this, many have hinged on this defeat saying it is more of a sign that Antonio Conte has lost his victory formula, and he is gone from being the fierce Teflon Don manager to being an unrecognisable complacent coach. Thibaut Courtois justifies this defeat, though, as a consequence of freak absences. By freak absences, he meant the shocking red cards flagged up for captain Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas. Diego Costa’s so-called exile can also be included as a resultant factor. This sped up the victory of Burnley,  getting Chelsea off to a humiliating start.

Marcus Alonso makes a big break this premier league
THE STAR MAN IN TOTTENHAM’S VICTORY
  1. Chelsea wins, the Spurs start low

Thibaut Courtois was proven right when he called Chelsea’s defeat to Burnley a wakeup call. Chelsea, in their consequent match with Tottenham Hotspur, showed they had come back stronger from their defeat. Not only did they beat Tottenham Hotspur in the match that ends with a 2-1. But they on a retaliatory note banked this victory at the Spur’s Wembley home.

All credit, however, goes to Marcus Alonso, the daring defender who brought the double to fruition. He is indeed the man of the moment. And his win is even more endearing against his unpleasant background. He was considered a mere glitch in Real Madrid. And most thought he didn’t have the guts of a Chelsea player.

This perception of him, however, is about to fizzle out. If it already has not faded away by now. While he only created goals in the past, taking little credits here and there, he has come upfront to being an indispensable scorer. The twist to this is that talks of his being replaced by other high profile players, specifically Juventus’ Alex Sandro and Tottenham’s Danny Rose had pervaded the air. But with the stunt he pulled against the Spurs, Conte will have to rethink the decision of dispensing with him. Or even forget he ever thought about it.

  1. The new ‘unstoppable’ for this Premier League

Stunning 4-0 victories in two consecutive games! Call it chance games, call it sheer luck, however way you decide to see it, this is definitely worth calling remarkable. If you have been in tune with the Super Sports channels on your DStv, GOtv and Startimes decoders, you would relate to the fact that Manchester United are digging deep for the title this season in more dynamic ways than expected. Not only have they demonstrated athletic acumen in their games against West Ham United and Swansea FC, they have also discovered new premier league goalscorers.

THOSE WHO MADE IT HAPPEN

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 110 YEARS, MAN UNITED GET OFF TO A GREAT START IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE
MAN UNITED REJOICE OVER CONSECUTIVE VICTORY
PAUL POGBA STUNS AS ALWAYS IN THIS PREMIER LEAGUE
PAUL POGBA- THE MAN OF THE MATCH

Paul Pogba has been described the man of these matches, even joining the exclusive list of Manchester United’s exceptional scorers who ended one season with a goal, and the very next with a goal too (as seen in his stunning goal in the match against West Ham). Another is Anthony Martial, who has started out on an excellent note this season by scoring two goals in two games. New upstart he may be, but he seems to be blending well on the field with the likes of Romelu Lakaku and Paul Pogba. It was their rueful synergy that offset the three goals produced in just four minutes at the Swansea’s Liberty Stadium.

He seems to be blending well on the field with the likes of Romelu Lakaku and Paul Pogba. It was their awesome synergy that offset the three goals produced in just four minutes at the Swansea’s Liberty Stadium.  While Jose Mourinho insists that Marcus Rashford still has to learn how to adapt to difficult situations and hostile treatments from rival fans, it is evident that the young chap has gotten off to an impressive start this season.

TRANSFER SUCCESSES

ROMERU SHOWS STUNTS IN THIS YEAR'S PREMIER LEAGUE
ROMELU LAKAKU- ONE OF THE TRANSFER SUCCESSES

Jose Mourinho has a lot to boast about his shrewd choices and bargains in the pre-season market. The inclusion of new players like Nemanja Matic, Romelu Lakaku and Victor Lindelof has proven to be quite tactical moves. Romelu Lakaku, on his part, is a perfect example of how a faithful never strays far from his master. During Mourinho’s stay at Chelsea, he was an abiding presence before he was transferred to Everton. Now back with Mourinho in Manchester United, he is proving to be just the striker that Manchester United needs. It would indeed appear that Manchester United is the new unstoppable for this English Premier League.

DEFENDING CHAMPION, CHELSEA, WINS CONTENDERS

As gratifying as this is, it has won Chelsea stronger contenders for this year’s premier league 2017. Pep Guardiola, Manchester City’s coach, has proven that he will be one hard nut to crack this season. Due to his performance last season, the French newspaper L’Equipe has preferred him over Conte.

TRANSFER DEALS FOR ENGLISH PREMIER LEAGUE 2017-18

CHELSEA

VTPASS WELCOMES MATIC TO MANCHESTER UNITED IN THE 2017 PREMIER LEAGUE
NEMANJA MATIC BIDS FAREWELL TO CHELSEA

The transfer deals this season has been super terrific, even shocking! Nemanja Matic, one trending midfielder of defending champions, Chelsea FC has been transferred to Manchester United after a £40 million bid on him. Most fans see this as quite a strange action, considering Matic’s remarkable input last season. But it seems Conte has his eyes on a bigger fish.  He wrestles with Manchester United over Bale, who is currently playing for Real Madrid.

Not only that, Chelsea is bidding for Southampton’s star player, Virgil Van Dijk. But their transfer deal is not about to go down without a hitch. Liverpool, Manchester City and Arsenal are also other options lined up for him. However, it is more likely that Chelsea will get Van Dijk. They have the favour of Southampton’s fans. But they are most likely to lose their bid for Bale.

MANCHESTER UNITED

ROONEY REUNITES WITH FIRST CLUB IN THE 2017 PREMIER LEAGUE
ONCE A BLUE, ALWAYS A BLUE

More so, Wayne Rooney of Manchester United has rejoined his alma-mater team, Everton, after playing thirteen years for Manchester United. This has created a yawning gap whose job to fill has been given to Michael Carrick. Thus, he is now the new captain of the Manchester United squad.
