 With two elimination rounds already gone, everyone is in suspense as to who will win the title and walk away with the prize money of K10, 000 plus a recording contract.

The winner from elimination round two, Greg Aaron from rainy Lae, gave a hyped-up, mind-blowing performance as he belted out a country number from Keith Urban, Love Somebody during the live performance at Port Moresby Country Club (POMCC) last Wednesday.

The song got the audience roaring with excitement and even a guitarist up on stage in an impromptu performance which won the judges’ hearts to announce him the winner on the night.
