This extraordinary performance secured her a spot in the subsequent rounds and propelled her into the competition’s finals.
Kechi’s journey to fame is nothing short of inspirational. Before her captivating audition, she courageously shared her harrowing experience as one of the two survivors of the tragic Sosoliso Airlines Flight 1145 crash on December 10, 2005.
Despite enduring severe burns and undergoing numerous surgeries that left her body marked with scars, her indomitable spirit remained unbroken, leading her to pursue her passion for music on the grand stage

Funke Lagoke
Funke Lagoke, a previous winner of the Miss Nigeria USA pageant, elevated Nigeria’s presence by successfully advancing through the auditions of the 19th season of American Idol in that particular year.
She showcased her talent in a duet with Ronda Felton during the Hollywood week of the show.
Regrettably, nervousness overwhelmed her, leading to a collapse and loss of consciousness while receiving feedback from the judges. This incident prompted her immediate hospitalisation.
Marvin Achi
Born in Rivers State, Nigeria, taking the spotlight on season 17 of America’s Got Talent, he, unfortunately, missed the cut to secure a spot among the top 55 acts for the semifinals..
During his audition, he presented the judges with a unique experiment. A mishap caused chemicals from one of his beakers to spill onto his shirt, prompting him to remove it and groove to Yello’s “Oh Yeah.”
While Howie Mandel’s enthusiasm was lacking, Heidi Klum, Sofia Vergara, and Simon Cowell all cast positive votes, propelling him to the next phase of the competition.
