LOVE and s-e-xy music was the theme of the night as contestants serenaded the audience with soothing love songs. South African Idols season 15’s live show held at the State Theatre in Tshwane on Sunday evening, was opened by a performance from Simmy with her new single Ngiyesaba.
First to hit the stage was Soshanguve’s Nolo, who gave a rendition of Close the door by Tony. The judges were impressed with his performance.
Unathi said he literally spoke to three generation. I was saying to Randell that this was your best performance this whole season. I love that song and you were phenomenal,” she said. Somizi said the song reminded him of his times. You killed it. I kept on thinking what your name stands for and thought it stands for Nyising Over, I love songs ikokoto,” he said.
Virginia kept it safe with Linda’s Yomithandayo. Unathi wasn’t happy with her performance. I don’t think you did that song any justice. It feels like you haven’t been here in the past weeks – you need to fight to be at the end,” she said.
Somizi on the other hand enjoyed it. Do you know what I loved about this? You were gentle, now you understand what we mean when we say not every song has to be out there,” he said. Randell said Virginia didn’t reach out to the audience.
