If you watch SA Idols you would know by now that time for voting between Noma and Thami came and passed, the question would then be did you make the “right” choice. LOL.
If I were a voting person I would have voted for Valentine and Tebza but they both did not make it to the finale. It’s funny how I was convinced Noma was going home last week kodwa ke abahlali base Durban always come through for their own. The sad part is when their own is not deserving *sigh* *gets off the lemony bus*
Congratulations are in order to Thami Shobede, Nomalungelo Noxolo Khumalo for making it to the finale and to SA Idols for changing their show format by affording Joseph Tebogo Louw and opportunity to have his first single out for public consumption.
I think last week’s was most LIT, the talented Bucie came out blazing hot, baby bump on fleek and ENGAGED. She felt to mention she is pushing dates for the release of her new work because her “burning” project. I love Bucie as underrated as I feel she is, she is one hell of a vocalist. She is right there with abo Simphiwe Dana nooThandiswa Mazwai in my book.
From her blazing performance Trompies re-united and kept us dancing to their golden oldies bavala with Uncle Bae of the South ubhut’ Mdu Masilela naye wasi jaivisa reminding us of the good old days zooGibela phezul’kwendlu ubatshele umazola seka daar! An amazing line-up of performance and the finale is promising to be even better.
An unidentified member (at this stage) of Trompies felt the need to say “somebody say scream!!!”
Idols felt the need to feed us with hogwash as REAL reason why Gareth Cliff was leaving, I mean hello!!! siphi na apha? I must say I found the clips of him since season 2 amusing though, but I think the REAL reason is Gareth was done with Idols even before this season begun. After proving fools of Mnet by winning the “hate speech” case earlier he never felt at home, I suppose anyone would feel or even see a bit of hostility from abaqeshi bakhe after such.
And it hit me when I saw bhut’ Zwai Bala with the audience that maybe just maybe he would (will) be Gareth’s replacement for the new season. Zwai is more than fitting, he has the appropriate experience and expertise to judge, he would be just perfect nje for the job. infact, I can’t think of anyone fitting at this point than him. I like his demeanor I mean he was one of the people that turned down Simphiwe Dana on Coca Cola Pop Idols and told her that the show is not for her… or something along those lines… Moreover, now that SA Idols is on Mzansi Magic they don’t need to replace Gareth with a white person, right? RIGHT!
At this stage I feel have done adequate yapping about Thami and Noma’s singing capabilities for this season, so it’s up to you South Africans to choose your Idol! May the best voted person WIN! *in RuPaul’s voice*
