THERE was no stress over eliminations on this weeks of Idols SA Season 15. After a challenging week for the idols team, all Top 4 contestants proved why they were still on the show. With the high school hits theme, the show was opened with the top 4 performing Bastille’s Joy. They each chose hits they loved when they were still in high school and also, those hits that were played by their parents in high school. First to perform on stage was Nolo with his mother’s favourite high school track ‘Let’s groove’ by Earth Wind fire. Somizi said it was a great performance. If you did research on the meaning of the song, you could have rolled on the floor because it is a groovy song,” he said.
He then rendered a fun and energetic performance of Bruno Mars’s ‘Lazy Song’. Unathi said she was happy with both his performances. Somizi said the last performance was cute. Micayla took the audience on a trip down memory lane with Roxette’s ‘It must’ve been love’. Unathi said it was a perfect song choice. I think you need to thank the love of your parents and that you are here because of this song,” she said. Somizi said he hopes record labels are not sleeping on her.
“You are what the industry needs,” he said. She also did Ariana Grande’s ‘Dangerous’.
Somizi said he didn’t have a clue what the song was about. You gave the song what it needed and it was beautiful,” he said. Unathi said the performance was very powerful. Luyolo lived up to his name and gave the audience joy with a performance by The Commodore’s ‘Nightshift’. Somizi said he is charming.
“You are the epitome of what less is more, you are perfect,” he said. Randell agreed with Somizi that he was perfect. Sometimes when you sing softly people listen,” he said. He then got the audience on their feet and made them roar when he performed Usher’s ‘OMG’. Randell said he had a good song choice. Somizi said he had his heart on the floor.
“You did what I have been telling you,” he said. Sneziey brought her personal touch and re-imagined Black Coffee’s Superman. Unathi said she must be careful not to take away the original song. Don’t lose it so much from the original. As you start performing your own songs don’t forget that in your arrangement to bring audience to sing with you,” she said.
Somizi said the performance was a flop “I am glad to see that you can off ramp because it makes you human. It’s okay, people will look back on how you did on your other performances and forgive you,” he said.
