The 2013 edition of the Vodafone ICONS reality show came to a climax last Thursday with an 'unlikely' candidate, Ryan Henry Korsah, walking away with the mouthwatering prize package at stake.
Ryan, beat three other hopefuls - Marion, Kelvin and the crowd's favourite Buda - to win this year's show which was dubbed the Street Edition.
The prize package for this year was GH¢250,000 for the winner-takes-competition. The package included, a cash prize of GH¢50,00, a recording contract with Universal Records, a management contract, and a brand new a KIA Sportage.
With the four finalists managing to escape painful weekly evictions to reach the finale, they knew they had to put up an A performance on the night and they did just that.
The show kicked off with a joint performance of Black Eye Peas's smash hit I Gotta Feeling by the four finalists.
Impressive finale
After that impressive introductory performance, Buda hit the stage first with his individual performance. He performed Ma Kwan by his brother Kwaw Kese and Edem.
Hi performance set the tone for what the night install. Kelvin, wearing a traditional cloth followed with an exquisite performance of Moses OJ's Maye Se Mo Pen while Ryan, backed by six dancers, performed his rendition of Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It.
The only female in the finale, Marion hit the stage with that Lauryn Hill's That Thing. She brought her rap prowess to bear on the night giving clear indication that she was equally up to the task of doing what it takes to win.
The second round saw Kelvin taking up the mic to perform Kwabena Kwabena's Aso but it was Buda performance of Edem's Bra Fremi Fremi that got one of the judges for the night Appietus to commented that, "No size....whether you win or not, you are a winner."
Marion gracefully serenaded the judges and audience with Beyonce's If I Were A Boy while Ryan capped the second round of performances with Mario's I Choose You. That exciting performance marked the end of an award streak of attention grabbing showpieces.
