Tiah, one of the contestants in TV3’s popular music reality show, Mentor XI, moved the judges and patrons to a standing ovation after a powerful rendition of Diana Hamilton’s “Adom” song last Sunday, to emerge Star Performer for the Night.
Week 4 of this on-going edition of the Show celebrated legendary African Artistes including Burna Boy and 2 Face Idibia from Nigeria, Meiwey from Ivory Coast and Lucky Dube and Yvonne Chaka Chaka from South Africa on Saturday November 19 with Judges, Richie of Lynx entertainment, Reggie Rockstone and DJ Andy Dosty.
Audiences were wowed with a live show on Sunday, November 20, with a collection of music celebrating Ghanaian artistes including Stonebwoy, Samini and Kojo Antwi and judged by Richie, ace crooner, Kwabena Kwabena and guest judge Kaywa.
Kaywa, CEO of Highly Spiritual Music label and one of Ghana’s multiple award-winning sound engineers, critiqued the live performances, bringing to bare fifteen years of experience in the Ghanaian music industry.
The Best Costume award went to Rao, who performed a classic from Kojo Antwi, ‘Enfa me ko ho’.
Mask Gyal and Jamal failed to garner enough votes from the audience and had to say goodbye to the Mentor XI stage.
Week 5 promises to be another exciting night on Mentor XI as the remaining eight contestants pair with past Mentor contestants for duets in celebration of TV3 @25.
Also featuring as guest judge for Saturday judge’s choice show will be popular voice coach from the X factor talent show in the United Kingdom, Jennifer Philips.
Music lovers are expected to keep their favourite contestant in the show,by voting for them.
It was a night of intellect, eloquence and culture as contestants of the 2026 Miss Tourism Ghana took centre stage at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel for the Debate and Culture Night last Saturday.
The event, which forms part of activities leading up to the grand finale, saw the ladies move beyond beauty to battle with ideas, facts and opinions on a topic critical to the tourism industry.
The contestants debated the topic: The Importance of Traditional and Digital Media on Promotion of Tourism.
For the debate, the contestants were grouped into two teams of four, each tasked with defending a side of the argument.
It was a fierce but respectful exchange. The team arguing for traditional media described it as the trust builder, emphasising its credibility, mass reach, and its power to tell in-depth, emotional stories through television documentaries, radio and newspaper features.
They argued that traditional media still shapes public opinion and influences policy decisions in the tourism sector.
On the other side, the proponents of digital media raised salient points about its unmatched advantages in the modern era.
They highlighted its global reach at low cost, its two-way interaction that allows tourists to share real experiences and reviews, its ability to target specific audiences, and its measurable results where clicks, views and bookings can be tracked.
After heated arguments and rebuttals, both teams arrived at a powerful consensus that drew applause from the audience.
They concluded that without traditional media, tourism promotion lacks credibility and depth, and without digital media, it lacks reach, engagement and sales.
The judges and patrons agreed that the debate underscored a crucial lesson for Ghana’s tourism drive: for a country blessed with rich cultural heritage, colourful festivals, historic forts and castles, diverse wildlife and pristine beaches, the winning formula lies in combining the storytelling power of traditional media with the viral power of digital media to attract both domestic and international tourists.
The night was not only about debate, as the contestants also dazzled in cultural wear, showcasing the beauty and diversity of Ghanaian culture.
