Tiah wins Best Performer for the second time in a row to book spot in semi-finals
• Tiah
TV3 Mentor XI’s Tiah, for the second time, has emerged the star performer.
In a performance celebrating TV3’s Silver Jubilee, Tiah joined forces with AJ from last season’s Mentor X to present a duet of Donnie McClurkin’s gospel hit, “The prayer”, last Sunday.
The night also saw Brenda, donning a white two-piece Jasmine inspired gown with matching accessories, pairing with last season’s Ely to perform “A whole new world” from Disney’s animated feature film , Aladdin. She also won the best costume award.
Unfortunately, week five of Mentor XI was the last time Rao and Wilsin hit the Mentor XI stage to thrill their fans as they were both caught up in eviction.
Currently, six contestants, Tiah, Too Spyce, Herby, Marckel, Kweku Wina and Brenda have made it to the semi finals, but only four will make it to the finals.
The final knock-out stage, the semi-finals, comes off with a preliminary show on Saturday, December 3, 2022, depicting the journey so far and a live show on Sunday.
Unlike week five where contestants were joined by past Mentor prodigies for duets, the semi-finals will see contestants battle it out head-to-head for a spot in the finals with two rounds of performances for the live show.

He said, like what happened last year, a lot of miracles will take place.
In a related development, Prophet Atarah also commissioned a new studio for rehearsals and live recordings.
This, he said, was not limited to him, but open to every musician across all genres.
