Sweet Lawd Geezus! How bitterly unpredictable was the elimination show last night? The shock drove my jaw straight to the ground! If you are still in the dark about what I’m nit-picking about, it’s the Shekinah exit! I for one thought Sheki was one of the contestants who deserved the “save”. Now the question remains, who are they saving “The golden save” for? Khaya? Like he’s gonna ever need it after the hype built up around him…
On the extravagant-dance Showstopper night, Sheki delivered a not-so-bad rendition of Britney Spears’ “Til the world end” which looked to me like a license for her to the Top 5. Boy was I wrong. Am I the only one who’s sad about the judges not using the save? Especially since they have until next week to use it – apparently the “Golden Judges’ save” only lasts until the Top 4.
On Sunday the Top 6 pulled their last muscles when they each took to the stage with dancers. The standard was set so high that it was utterly impossible to predict who would go home.
After Monde’s jumpy rendition of Usher’ “Scream” I started questioning his presence next this week and I wasn’t shocked to see him in the bottom 2.
Tshidi’s interpretation of ‘Crazy in love’ was fresh and not exaggerated; she literally took over the song.
Melissa doing Rihanna’s “Where have you been” like she penned it was just remarkable. I knew the minute she finished that she is not going anywhere.
Khaya’s wicked vocally-slaughtered execution of Neyo-Kerri Hilson “Knock you down” knocked me down for real and for once I considered casting a vote for him.
Simphiwe dropped the ball with Chris Brown’s “Turn up the music”. Personally it was standard and got me worried about his safety. All in all they all pulled the stops!
Some of the interesting faces I spotted at the show include Idols’ alumni Noluthando Meje who spotted a yellow mini dress. Gurl looked yum! Her current song ”Feelings” with some DJ is enjoying a lot of airplay.
Last year’s Top 6 contestant Kelly Fortuin who got saved in the Top 8 level was there looking fab too. Glad she hasn’t disappeared after her exit. She’s had 2 of her tracks played on 5fm too.
In a Rolling Stone theme, the Top 5 take-on two songs each on Idols next week Sunday. Recharge your phones and ready your thumbs to save your best…
Did you want Sheki to go?
Did you vote for her?
Who do you want gone next week?
Vote Vote Vote!!!
