There is music everywhere in Nigeria, from classical to contemporary, from gospel to secular, from live performances to videos. Mercy Chinwo is one musician among many who has recently generated a lot of buzz.

Mercy Chinwo made a striking entrance as she was carried onto the stage from a box.

Her dynamic performance mesmerized and enthralled both the judges and the audience; she held the audience's attention the entire time.
