If you ask award-winning duo, PSquare, their most memorable birthday celebration, they will probably tell you their 31st birthday. The talented artistes spent that day on stage performing for an excited audience at the Amstel Malta Showtime event, held at Harbour Point, Victoria Island, Lagos.
The Lagos show was the last leg of the event that moved across three cities, Owerri, Enugu and Abuja, exciting audiences in its trail. The grand finale in Lagos took the excitement a notch higher with an impressive list of music stars and aspiring talents. P Square led the array of established acts, alongside rave of the moment, Wiz Kid, and top rapper, Ice Prince, to thrill the audience, which kept asking for more.
But it was not all about music. The audience reeled with laughter as comedian, Buchi, dished out hilarious jokes. While the established acts had their time on the stage, the upcoming ones were not left behind as they slugged it out in singing, dancing and comedy competitions.
While the singing competition was won by Sandra Orioha, Jesse Charming emerged the best dancer while Aderombi Adedayo was the best comedian of the evening. The first prize winners in each of the competitions went home with N100, 000 shopping voucher, a laptop and an all-expense paid weekend in a luxury hotel in Lagos. The winners also had the opportunity of performing alongside the top entertainers for the night.
The runners up were not left out. The first runners up in each category got a shopping voucher worth N50,000 while the second runners up got shopping vouchers worth N25,000.
Explaining the reason behind the event, Adedoyin Owotomo, Brand Manager, Amstel Malta stated that Amstel Malta Showtime provided a unique opportunity for the aspiring superstars to showcase their talents.
Amstel Malta Showtime kicked off in Owerri in August this year with M.I, Ice Prince and Jesse Jagz of the Chocolate Boiz fame in attendance along with Nabania crooner, Flavour. The next stop was in Enugu where P Square and Naeto C were the main acts for the night. Abuja was no less exciting as M.I, Banky W and Whiz Kid treated the audience to exciting musical performances.
