Bevin gets axed from Idols SA
The race for becoming South Africa's next Idol is on, while the road ended for 19-year-old Bevin Samuels from Port Elizabeth, who did not receive enough votes this week to keep him in the competition.
After last night's performances, the Idols SA Top 5 contestants were announced and they are: Lucia, Thami, Noma, Tebogo and Terra Cox.
Like last week, each contestant performed twice with different themes. Round One's theme was How It Should Have Been Done and saw the Top Five picking butchered songs by Wooden Mic performers. Round Two was called My Idol, and contestants chose a song by their musical inspiration.
Lucia was up first, singing R. Kelly's If I Could Turn Back the Hands of Time followed by Lira's Ngaphakade. Gareth gave her a glowing report, praising her consistency and "beautiful" performances. "You deserve to record your own album and conquer the SA music industry," was Somizi's take. Randall agreed, saying no matter what happens in the next weeks, Lucia has a career post-Idols.
