@u4me I am a good singer in the shower so I am going to get a confirmation from Gareth,Unathi and Randall about my singing talent.

But all in all thanks to Mnet for finally recognizing our province and city.

It's funny that every year they go to Jozi but no one from there even makes it to the top 5.

Why don't they cancel the soweto auditions and go to PTA, Kimberly, Nelspruit or Rustenburg instead, because soweto is already in Jozi mos..

@joyous beast, blacks will vote if, and only if they allow them to send callbacks, that's the only way they will recieve many votes from them.

I just like the idols auditions, they make my day...I can't wait to laugh again..any way, makisto when will they be aired on TV..

If the show was about the talent we would have black winners but its obvious its all about the looks and the color of the skin. take Adeline for instance, she was just a pretty face and her looks took her a long way... its most unfortunate that most blacks do not have dstv, and we are colour blind. believe it or not you will find there are lots of blacks voting for whites bt less whites voting for blacks. another thing is, we are divided. some voted for Cindy and some for Bokie and we wanted both of them to go thru and all white votes were taken by the white boy....... whats new?
