There’s something going on here: Ghana’s ‘Menn On Point’ have made it as part of the final 12 to X-Factors’ Live and they’ve also changed their name from ‘Menn on Point’ to just “Reggie n Bollie.”

A few minutes ago, the duo managed to steal a spot as part of the final 12 with a lousy performance of  Beatles’ Twist & Shout—but as we all know, it’s the X-Factor and not the Voice.

GhanaCelebrities.Com has already mentioned that Reggie n Bollie are lacking behind when it comes to real talent and the Telegraph agreed with us today.

“The third spot could be controversial – it’s gone to Reggie and Bollie, formerly Menn On Point. Clearly the duo has been chosen for entertainment value as opposed to actual talent. But hey, this is the X Factor, not The Voice, and for that we’re all very grateful,” the Telegraph wrote in their live coverage.

Bollie and Reggie’s journey started when they won the attention of the X-Factor judges with their first audition, performing their own song. In the X-Factor house, the two performed Cheerleader from OMI a few weeks ago, which was really not great but their energy was enough to push them through.

Today, they’ve made it again to the most important stage of the competition with their unique style.

As to why the two stand out, they’ve  said: “Our genre of music is completely different from what everyone else does – urban reggae. We are totally set apart from the other bands”

Currently based in the United Kingdom, Ghana’s hit solo artistes-Reggie Zippy of ‘Adoma’ fame and Bollie, ‘You May Kiss the Bride’ who recently made a disappointing entry into ‘British Got Talent’ returned with a shocking but amazing performance on UK’ 2015 X-Factor—with all the judges calling them the best of the day.

Wearing red denim, the two Ghanaians who for sometime have been living in the United Kingdom in search for education, greener pastures and a musical breakthrough were dedicated enough not have made their failed ‘British Got Talent’ dream kill their aspiration—and their return on the packed X-Factor’s Week 4 audition was MEGA.

It was not only a musical extravaganza for the judges and the crowd, they indeed brought that Xtra Factor; their dance moves and pre-recorded footage were as funny as hell.

Having performed on some of the biggest stages in Ghana was definitely a bonus for their stage craft—they had no worries and knew exactly how to get the attention of the judges which worked perfectly.

Even if the judges did not like the style which was not the case, they couldn’t have frankly ignored the over 4000 people who jumped and shouted in excited; “Menn on Point” were really on point and they kept Ghana on their lips, making us all proud.

When they walked up the stage, they mentioned “world domination” as their aim—and from what we saw, they can surely dominate with this sort of Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” hit style of music. People want to be excited musically because the world has enough misery and “Menn on Point” brought that to the X-Factor stage.

After the panel of expert judges and audience were left fearing the worst, “Menn on Point” came to savage the situation with their own original song-Turn It Up—which intend turned the whole place up.

Rita Ora took centre stage from where she was seated and danced as much as she could—with Nick Grimshaw pushing himself up with excitement. After their incredible performance, Rita declared; ‘They’re actually so musically relevant right now.”
