Zoe steals Idols Top 6 Showstopper!

Written by Tazteeq from the blog Opinion Ramp on 28 Oct 2013
Favourite this post


The explosive showcase started with the fiery Top 6 showcase of Fall Out Boy’s “My songs know what you did in the dark”. 



The song choreographed by Somizi was a perfect start to a sizzling show of music and dance. Let’s take a look at the front runners and the followers. 

Zeo steals the show: 



I could swear the screamometer reader broke after Zoe’s performance of Jessie J’s “Wild”. Amidst an auditorium full of avid #TeamMusa stans Zoe still managed to get insanely loud appreciation. Her stage presence and entertainment factor defeated everyone’s. She allowed her energy, fire and passion to take centre stage. She brought everything and conquered.

Sonke’ star rises 



Zulu-crowned Sowetan with a golden-voice Makhosonke stole what Zoe left for the rest. Sonke took on Mafikizolo’s mega-hit “Khona” and slammed every bar that makes up that song. His performance which was further spiced by choreographer Somizi joining in on stage left every hand clapping, every mouth screaming and shouting with excitement.

Musa goes via Orlando 



One could have sworn the entire auditorium was a political canvass of dedicated #TeamMusa cadres. The groups spread across the venue sang and shouted Musa’s name throughout the show, while holding up banners showing the Idol’s face. Musa who chose the flamboyant Dr Malinga’s popular song “Via Orlando” made the vocals sound easy. He avoided the infamous Malinga kicks and stage jumps, but threw in a few teases of some of the wild Malinga moves which further excited his many fans.

Bunny raises the bar 



If you thought Bunny was just a big girl with a big voice then you haven’t seen nothing. Singing Pink’s number “Raise your glass”, she jumped, hopped, danced and SANG. I equate her performance to Musa’s. One would think she’d run out of breath and mess up the vocals but she maintained her tone and stayed afloat… I would still like to see her through the Top 4 mark but having seen everyone, Bunny might be in the bottom three.

Brenden’s fading continues 



This is one contender I never thought he’d possibly fall in the bottom three, but after his performance of Zahara’s “Lengoma” I became worried. While everyone went on stage with blasters, it looked like the Witbank-born Idol took it easy and went the safe route. I’m not sure if Brenden’s curtain is slowly falling off the rail, but he needs to stay consistent and bring the funk back. He MIGHT possibly join Bunny and Crystalene.

Crystalene drops the ball 



Dressed in a black sexy short frock and hair resembling that of a popstar, Crystalene could have owned the night. She had a powerful song with good choreography but performance-wise her version of Rihanna’s “Right now” failed to dazzle. She should have brought Riri’s sexiness to the stage but she went way too safe and as a result, she might be in the bottom three and possibly go home.

Who was your favourite? Did you vote?

Grear  review TAz:::: Zoe's stage presence is very much refreshing however vocally i hate her vibrating voice. My TOP 3 Sonke, Bunny n Musa. Brenden's voice is letting him down big time, but luckily for him his FANS dnt hear wat some of us are hearing. Im voting 4 my Top 3. Crystalene is mostly leaving 2moro........

I must have been in a bad mood yesterday...i just felt like the Showstopper theme did not live up to my expectations..compared to past seasons!. I still remember Lyod Cele's Showstopper performance..sizzling!

Ben 10 was a disappointment, he tried too hard...over sang!

That said, Zoe and Musa's performances were my favorites...

The Gupta gal shd go.

Bunny was awesome last night. Absolutely awesome. Sonke and Musa never disappoint. I wish some of Musa's confidence could rub off on Brenden, it's quite sad to see him slowly fizzle out. Hawu Ben10 bathong...lol

Zoe needs to calm down a lil, he is shouting too much and comes across as very aggressive....... that said she is a brilliant performer and is looking hotter and hotter each week....... Somehow I did not feel Sonke I thought the song was just too complex for him, but I think everyone else thinks otherwise so I will leave it at that Ben10 I think did a very good job and kept it simple and entertaining, but then again everyone seems to think otherwise...... we shall leave it at that............ Bunny was lukewarm........ I am getting bored sisi......... really bored........ Crystaline it was a pain to watch.......... The sooner she leaves the better.... Hhayi Kabi......... Musa was just OK, he is too churchy for my liking....

Yes; this wasn't as good as last year's showstopper theme since everyone played it mostly safe with song choices and choreography. I think Sonke's performance was overrated since his voice strained at certain parts of the song. Musa & Brenden's performances were also safe since there wasn't enough dancing and/or staging going on. Zoe was the definitive performer of the night, whilst Bunny did pretty good although I still think she chose the wrong song. Crystalene looked great, but the singing... Not as great.

Sonke and Zoe slayed, shame Crystelene lacks sex appeal very painful to watch. Brenden had a bad week I hope he survives. Bunny did well and she wasn't too tired after her performance.

Sonke all the way, as much as I loved Zoe...I don't vote for her. I just wish others vote for her for the entertainment. I was moved by Musa's performance....but, would I vote for him? The answer is no, its obvious him and Brenden have more fans so I don't bother. I will only vote for till he wins this thing, for the next coming week I will be voting like a mad person. I need to download mxit now just for voting Sonke

Hehheheeee rather late than never...i downloaded mxit after seeing Sonke's performance in the Top 10 when he sang Rihanna's shine bright like a diamond. I downloaded the app on my handset and tablet (two seperate accounts), my mom's phone and my husband. I have a niece and nephew that i transfer moola to every week for additional votes.

Like you Sobza...i am no longer going to vote for anyone from now on but Sonke. I used to feel sorry for others and donate a few votes, not anymore!

Let me go see who else i can recruit to download mxit. Maki am also getting rid of it as soon as Idols is over!

Great review, but just one point of correction Tazteeq, Brenden is a Graskop Born fellow. Musa is the one who hails from Witbank. I am huge fan of Brenden, but i must admit that his performance was a bit dissapointing. I wish that he could have chosen a better song. Coming to Sonke, mmh i agree with Tizoz and Darren24, i think that his performance was just overated. He didnt do the song any justice. It was just horrible. Bunny was absolutely fantastic. Her voice was perfect and so was her dancing. She really rocks. Would some1 pls tell Zoe to stop screaming during her performance and to stop acting all trashy and ghetto. Oh but then again, she is from the Cape flats, she reminds me so much of the young Pam Andrews when she was a popstar. Her English is also very Cape Flats. One more thing, she must just stop vibrating please. And coming to Crystalene, pls go back home and stop torturing us with yr bad singing as well as stage performance. Amen.
