The top 7 contestants of Idols SA were announced. The show-stopping episode aired last night, on Sunday 2 October 2022. The top 7 contestants are Kabela, Noxolo, Mpilwenhle, Thapelo, Zee, Ty Loner, and Nozi (who recently received praise from Jenifer Hudson herself, after performing the hit single Giving Myself). Unfortunately, Ceejay from KwaDukza in KwaZulu-Natal was sent home as he did receive enough votes to keep him in the singing competition.
The night was hosted by Proverbs and started with the Top 8 contestants performing a rendition of Beyonce songs which included ‘Get Me Bodied’

It is evident, Thapelo performance was amazing as he even received praises and was compared to the born star and Venda singer, Makhadzi.
On the other hand, Nozi closed off the show with a bang as she sang a Rihanna cover. Let’s not forget how she also received a nod recently from US singer, Jenifer Hudson. Here’s what tweeps had to say about her stellar performance:
