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.

Von Sinu releases debut single ‘Thank You’
Von Sinu, an upcoming gospel musician, has released her debut single titled ‘Thank You’ which is gaining popularity on the airwaves and streaming platforms.
‘Thank you’ seeks to appreciate God for his goodness and faithfulness in her life.
In an interview with The Spectator in Accra, Von, who is also a fashion designer said “looking back at my life and what God has told me about myself, I was grateful.
She said she had to record it and later sent it to a friend who has been very instrumental in her being a gospel singer.
She said though there were other songs written and recorded, she thought it was prudent to release ‘Thank you’ as the Bible urges believers to give thanks in Psalm 92:1-2: “It is good to give thanks to the Lord, and to sing praises to Your name”
The song is available on all digital platforms including Youtube, Spotify, Apple music Deezer and Tidal.
