Siblings Esther and Ezekiel Mutesasira who recently won the hearts of fans across the country following their performance at East Africa’s Got Talent, are hopeful to lift the country’s flag into the grand finale slated for October 6.
The two talented stars, children of legendary gospel singer Julie Mutesasira, set off for Kenya recently ahead of the live shows, and will have to bring out their A game in order to convince the whole East Africa to vote for them.
“I had a great time coaching these two special kids for this next round and I’m 100% confident that they’ve got real talent,” remarked their coach Hum Kay.
Adding, “Let’s back them up with our support so that their talent can hit the next level.”
Other semi-finalists from Uganda include Jehovah Shalom Acapella. The two groups will compete against among others Leyna Kagere, Rwanda’s Peace Hosiyana, who received a golden buzzer and Intayoberana boys’ dance troupe.
According to sources, the grand finale has four slots to which the first two were taken by Kenya’s Yada Yada and Janelle Tamara following the first semi-finals last Sunday.
Voting process
Voting starts as soon as the performances end and lines are open for an hour. In the grand final, juries and viewers from all participating countries will vote again for their favourite contestants into the final stage of the show.
Once the voting window has closed, the presenter will ask the judges to reveal their points, and the viewers’ points will also be announced, culminating into revelation the winner.
The grand finale will take place on Sunday, October 6, at 7pm (local time), and will be broadcasted live in all participating countries; Rwanda, Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania.
The winner of East Africa Got Talent 2019 will walk away with a $50, 000 (about Ush183,000,000) cash prize and other goodies.
