The 20 year old student, felt disappointed at herself and her
performance of Rihanna's song, 'Man Down.' "I really don't know what happened, I just let myself down," said a teary Barbara.

"Barbara thank you but you are definitely not ready for Nigerian Idol," said Dare. Boy did he speak the truth!
