Shock as Valentine leaves Idols SA
The heat was cranked up a little bit higher in last nights' live episode of Idols SA.
In what host Proverb called a shock result, one of the favourite contestants, Valentine, received the least number of votes from the Mzansi public.
But before the inevitable sad exit, the Idols Top Nine brought magic to the South African State Theatre in Pretoria with the help of last year's winners of Clash of the Choirs.
First to make up the Top Eight was Thami, who opened the show with a spirited performance of Stevie Wonder's "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" that had the crowd on their feet chanting his name and Randall raising his hands to "testify". It was an explosive start to the show!
The State Theatre went into a frenzy when Terra Cox sang Michael Jackson's "Will You Be There".
Unathi sobbed throughout and could not utter a word afterwards.
Somizi ran on stage to tightly hug the contestant, while Randall said he had nothing to add.
Gareth - who seemed to be the only one who could string a sentence together - simply said: "You are really unbelievable! How did we wait so long to meet you?"
South Africa was also introduced to top Idols SA superfan Roger Quan, who has been attending Idols SA live shows since 2009. Could this be why this learning materials designer is still single? We'll never know!
