Mr Philander!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What was Episode 2 going to be like if you were not in the top 30? Answer: BORING………. Kenneth was the highlight of the show.
Question: What’s your Profession Mr Kenneth Philander?
Answer : I am not working, but entertain at various churches with my other 3 band members. Tjo!!!!!!!!!! You damn right about entertaining. I would love to see your band perform. I bet it will do very well in the Pietermaritzburg Court as an opening act for Mr Zuma’s “After Court Concert”. Just before the main act – main act being Mr Zuma performing his trademark song – Mshini Wam. Wow we live in exciting times.
“Lindelani has selected his big 30” - its statements like these that will irritate me. Thabo, take it easy broer, we know uLindelani ushay’ umthetho and don’t need to be reminded every 2 seconds. Talking about Prof Mkhize, did you notice how short (oops I meant, how vertically challenged) he is? Especially when standing next to Thabo? Love your cap bhuti. The roll-call took forever – really now, did they really had to call everyone by name when they were grouping them?
Rehearsals
Group 1 with the power hungry Kenneth as a leader showed signs of being dysfunctional from the first go. Sydwell should never be allowed to select a leader because he gave “Kenny” powers to embarrass everyone from the first minute he opened his mouth (Its people like Kenny that make me think – there should have be an age restriction!!!!). Bhuti Kenny did you grew up in Mossel Bay? How can you be excited by leading wanna-be singer’s who don’t know the difference between Singing and Deborah Fraser? Group 4 was my favourite from the beginning because they had Zimkhitha in the group.
Zim my angel, uyaphapa and I doubt you will win the competition but I want them to keep you in the show because you showing elements of being the next entertainer (aka Rebecca Malope). Group 2 had issues from the word go, with Lusanda “Lucy” crying foul for not being chosen as a leader. Kwedini this is Goliwood, go throw tantrums at your mother’s house.Group 5 was the biggest embarrassment. They were the only group that started working early on their song – maar why on earth did they listen to Lebohang? Are there any musicians from Free State? If so PLEASE stand UP sik’bone!!!!!
Performances
Group 1 (they called themselves Day stars) deserved 2/5. The group was made up of guys only and I expected a lot from them.
Then again with a former sex addict in the group what was I thinking? Can someone PLEASE explain to me how can a 22 year old be a sex addict? Didn’t this boy watch the movie titled “40 year old Virgin”? Kgotso – you can sing bhuti, but do me a favour and return Jabu Hlongwane’s suits back to the Muvhango set. Damn, Lindelani was not impressed with this group, you should have seen his facial expression.
Group 2 deserved 1/5 for the effort. Ntokozo bore me to death with her constant complaints about English since she landed in Jozi. Hayi kabi my sister, what if you are asked to sing the National Anthem? Are you going to say “Hayi cha mina angiyivumi ingoma yesiNgezi?” Carl blamed Lusanda for a “wrong” start to the song. Carl at his age should find another dream because the train left him 25 years ago.
Group 3 (aka Sweet Melodies) deserved a 4/5.You really gave the viewers sweet melodies. I like Berlinda, she sings well.
My favourite group has to be group 4, with Zimkhitha, Mzoxolo, Charisma, Victor, Jody, etc, etc.
Damn I take my hat off for these guys – All of them. Vocally talented. Started the song great and Zimkhitha deserves an apology. I’m sorry sisi for thinking you would fit well with Lusanda’s group, you are way better than them and will go far as long as uhlis’ umoya on your theatrical tendencies.
Group 5 deserved a 0/5. How on earth did the members of this group take notes from a Free Stater? Which musician comes from Free State? Senyaka? Lebohang was the let down of this group, because she tried to impress by pretending to have composed(lack of a better word) the melody. Theo’s voice was too loud for Lindelani to hear the solo acts of the group members. This group pissed me off by making my fav contestant (Lee-Aan ) sound like she took singing lessons from Iko Mash, Somizi, Khanyi Mbau or 3Sum.
Elimination
Well deserving to be eliminated were, Carl (find a proper job broer), Kenneth(Zuma needs backing vocalists), Tshi… whatever your name is(home affairs is looking for you), Precious (this girl should go to HELL – she’s got a nerve for going on about being a better performer than Lee-Aan and she should see a dentist ASAP), Lebohang (wanna-be melody composer) and Zoleka.
“You need to exit the room through this door” – haybo how original!!!!!!!!!!!! I won’t blame MNET for suing SABC – Thabo’s elimination lines were taken from the same script used by Big Brother (for SABC’s sake, lets hope the sentence is not a patent – LOL).
Overall- Great Episode – Can’t wait for next week.
Idea to the PRODUCERS: Please incorporate the show with the coming Cell C Gospel Awards to be held in Durbs in 2 weeks time. It would be a great platform for these wanna-be singers to test their vocal abilities by performing at the show. Also throw in a free trip to the awards for yours truly, I promise I will say nice things about the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!
