Last night we saw the first live show of the
12th season of Idols SA and it was quite spectacular as the ladies
took to the stage with hits of the last decade. When we first heard the theme
we were kind of confused as we thought it would be hits from 10 years ago, but
no, it is anything from 2006 to this day.
Our favourite for the night was definitely Valentine
Mathe who belted Beyoncé’s Halo. Even from the very beginning
Valentine has been our favourite and last night she did not disappoint as she
showed up looking stunning and set the mood for the evening. After her it was
Lucia who took to the stage with Adele’s Send My Love, she was good enough
for us to vote for her but we still await that wow factor from her. Just as the
night was in motion Sgherdeed was the first to drop the ball when she performed
Deep
In The Bottom by Black Coffee ft. Monique Bingham, we should be excited
that she went local but her performance just never came together and she didn’t
look comfortable on the stage. Luke one of the 4 ladies from Durban followed
suite with a horrendous song choice and a performance that lacked fire (someone
take her to Chicken Licken) as she slaughtered Janelle Monae’s Yoga.
And then the roof blew off when Noma attacked Rihanna’s Stay in a soulfully
beautiful manner which made the words sit deeper in the heart. Siyakha brought
some intense facial expression as she introduced Trademark ft Zinhle Ngidi’s Valelisa,
we say introduce because even some of the judges had never heard the song and 3
of them are radio show hosts but apparently the song spent weeks on the
charts(we wonder which charts) but Siyakha did it enough justice to for us to
like it. Amanda (not our favourite) sang Arianna Grande’s Dangerous and it was
just ayt but the disappointment of the night was Nosihe’s take on Beyoncé’s XO, we had so much faith in her
and she just let us down.
Since the viewers get to save 4 of the ladies
if it were up to us we would definitely save Valentine, Lucia, Noma and Siyakha
and pray that the judges save Nosihe
