This past week Idols said goodbye to my homie Bevin Samuels, I am yet to meet a youngster who is In love with creator. Bevin is a Jesus freak, He trusted the Lord in this journey and was more than happy to have made it to this season’s top 6.
The theme for the week had two rounds, How it should have been done for firat round and songs from music Icons was round two.
Lucia opened round one with her golden husky voice, I loved how she opened the show, I had goosebumps throughout her performance. I enjoyed how she did a quard voice interchange. It was magical. R. Kelly If I Could Turn Back The Hands Of Time was in good vocal hands.
Thami, sang Enrique Iglesias’s Hero, I feel Thami is one trick pony, I’m still waiting for him to disaply a different octave. He is certainly a strong vocalist and he sang the hell out of hero.
Noma chose to sing You Raise Me Up ka osh Groban. My first thought was “why is this girl choosing to sing powerful songs that swallow her up” . I listened with disinterest as she started the song but when she bridged the “You raise me up!” part I immediately found myseld at the Methodist Church in Johnson Road. She dlakazad that song. I’m speechless… she needs to look at her low notes.
Ed Sheran Thinking Out Loud was remade by Tebza . I did not enjoy his first verse but later caught on
And ran with it. Talented lad is this Tebza.
Terra sang Adele’s Hello, he wanted to show case his authenticity by his version that I enjoyed. Again he stuffs up the song by jumping his cueues. Terra’s head is definitely not in the competition anymore, the pressure is really cracking him up to pieces. I really really feel sorry for him he might be leaving us next week. I felt sorry for him as he is the most talented this season, the whole state theatre was not feeling his rendition people just looked at him. Shem he tried to restore himself.
Round 2.:
Songs from music idols Lucia chose to sing Lira’s Phakade my mind went straight to this year’s Stabndard Bank joy of jazz. It was perfect!
There’s no doubt in mind that Lira would love Lucis’s rendition.
James Brown I Got You was properly done with sugar spice chillies honey and everything nice. Best ever performance by Thami he was in some fierce zone he looked delicious while dishing it out too. Completely blown away by the song choice as well as the perfomance.
Heaven Couldn’t Wait For You by Beyonce felt like Noma was dedicating the song to someone. (And she was)I could not connect her performance, it was definitely a downa from her first performance. That’s all!
Asa Fire On The Mountain, was redone well.smooth smooth operator is Tebza.
If It’s Over by one of my ultimate favroite artists of all times Mimi… Terra neh
A well deserved round of applause.
