The gala performance that resulted in the Top 10.

On Saturday night (30 October) the Top 15 Popstar wannabe's faced their final battle in their quest to land a spot in the winning group.

As the episode unfolded, five found themselves eliminated: Anele Gazide, Kahludi Malele, Lebogang Katane, Lefa Pike and Nomandla Mfecane.

Some took the news with a sense of zen, particularly Lefa - who was probably relieved to be returning to spliff'dom. It was more difficult for others though and was roughest for Anele and Nomandla who got so close yet so far, making it through to the Top 12.

The 12 were divided into three groups and had to go through a final audition at a gala performance. They gave their groups names and performed different arrangements of the Gerry Rafferty track Baker Street. Once they'd delivered, the judges made their final call and announced the Top 10.

In between it all, everyone got top-to-toe makeovers in preparation for the upcoming stardom that awaits them if they win. How they've morphed:

pop facts

Word from the show is that these were the tip of the iceberg. Once the group is created, they're going to go through a monster makeover, so that they suit each other and whatever the style of the group is.

There isn't a specific size that the group has to be. It could be any size. There's no ways it will be all 10 though obviously. Our guess is four or five.

This Saturday .... it's time for da Big Reveal. The judges will be visiting everyone at their homes to tell them whether or not they've made it.

Mhmmmm, the power of airbrush, I like but never watched even a single show. Marketing not enough.

I've never watched a single episode either. The so called makeovers are horrible, so there'd better be "monster" ones for the final group.

Somebody let sli on another website that the final group is made up of 2 guys and 2 girls. The person didn't say anymore than that.

I am still upset about Lefa, Lebo; kahludi and Anele not getting to the final top ten. I think their reasons for getting rid of LLK were BS. Those guys can 'sang', the only thing that I think worked against them is their age. Anele has a unique voice and I feel the judges didn't give much of a chance. But damn it I am upset.

Popstars is not getting too much publicity shame, they should have left it on SABC. I watched it for the 3rd time on saturday and again they were wasting time by having perfomances by Martin, gogo PJ Powers, Zwai, and Jamali. The poor  popstars wanna be had a few minutes to prove themselves kanti isnt it about them?

Mximm I just got bored and I will just read about them.
