Press Release
 
Meet the Top 11 ...


 
 
Idols fans have voted in their hundreds of thousands and made their voices heard, and – with a little help from the judges – the Idols SA Season 10 Top 11 finalists were announced in a spectacular 90-minute Idols show live from the State Theatre in Pretoria last night.
 
The first two Top 11 finalists, 25-year-old Vincent Verhoog from Cape Town and 24-year-old Ivan Roux from Centurion, were announced last week already after an on-screen communication error.
 
Joining them from the Top 16 Group 1 that performed on 31 August are, in alphabetical order: Bongi Silinda (23), a professional backup singer from Nelspruit; Cape Town student London Louw (24); and Vincent Bones (29), a worship leader from Pietermaritzburg.
 
The four contestants who garnered the most votes from their Group 2 performances on 7 September were Kyle Deutschmann (27), a chiropractor from Pinetown; Lize Mynhardt (21), a B. Comm student from Stellenbosch University; professional singer Musa Mashiane (24) from eMalahleni; and Tumi Morobane (21), a first-year Musical Theatre student at the Tshwane University of Technology, who hails from Vosloorus.
 
And the final two spots in the Top 11 lineup were filled by Idols judges Randall Abrahams, Unathi Msengana and Gareth Cliff, who exercised their Wild Card privilege and picked two Capetonian ladies: Durbanville singer Demi Lee (24) and 20-year-old Roxy McVean, who is studying music at COPA in Cape Town but originally hails from Durban.
 
“You will know that I am not frequently impressed,” Randall noted, announcing their choice, “but you should know that it was very, very difficult this year.”
 
Aside from the privilege of competing for a chance to become South Africa’s next Idol, the Top 11 tonight also walked off with a spectacular prize package comprising:  
o   a brand new Samsung Galaxy S5 Mini Smartphone each on a free 24 month contract, with 100 free minutes, 50 free sms, and an extra 50GB of data, courtesy of Telkom
o   a personalised set of luggage courtesy of Ford
o   Truworths fashion to the value of R5 000 each
o   a Shure GLXD24E/SM86 Digital vocal wireless system valued at R10 850 each
o   plus vouchers for a Yamaha PSR-E443 keyboard or a Yamaha CPX500 guitar for each Top 11 finalist.
 
The Top 11’s long journey to the Idols Season 10 finalé will kick off with a two-hour live show next Sunday, 21 September – with some expert guidance from this week’s musical mentor, American singer-songwriter Gordon Chambers, who has written hits for the likes of Usher, Beyoncé, Whitney Houston and Aretha Franklin.
 
Tickets for that show are on sale now from Computicket and the show goes out live on M-Net and Mzanzi Magic next Sunday at 17:00.
 
In the meantime, some of the Season 10 singers who are memorable for other reasons are starring in the “Wooden Mic Special Edition” show every Tuesday at 18:30 on Mzansi Magic – along with some never-before-seen footage from the Idols Season 10 audition road show, when the judges thought the cameras weren’t rolling!

Disappointed that Rowan and Celine aren't there, but well done on the rest.
