Omawumi will go far - Reggie Rockstone

The guest Judge at the Idols West Africa Grand Finale says Omwumi was his favourite for the night.

He says his choice of Omawumi is because he strongly believes that even without the Idols West Africa title, the lawyer from Delta State is a diva to be reckoned with anyday, anytime.

Mid-way in the show, when he was asked to address the two finalists, he told Timi that his wife loves him very much.

The acclaimed founder of Hip-life (the most popular genre of music in Ghana: that is a blend of High-Life and Hip-hop) voices that Idols West Africa is a grand experience he will live with forever.

He showers praises on the organizers of the competition for putting on a remarkable show.

Rockstone urges West Africans to participate more in this kind of show in future, so that it does not look like a Nigerian thing.

He also implores the organizers to take the show into other parts of West Africa, so that the other parts of the region can have a feel of this wonderful experience.

He hopes that in the future his own musical genre, Hip-life, will boast a showcase like the Idols West Africa competition and he enjoins Hip-life lovers across the world to give the genre support.

He jocularly says that a Hip-lifer cannot win the Idols competition because Hip-life is rap oriented, while the Idol has to be a pop star.

He tells the world to wait for an explosion from the Hip life world and that West Africa has not disappointed the world with the great showings of contestants in the competition.
