The next stop on the Idols SA season 12 audition round was the capital city, Pretoria.
In all honesty we were never ready for what PTA had in store for us: there was cake, explicit lyrics, Wooden Mic gold, original ''hits" and the return of bad Randall.
By the end of a long day, the judges issued 21 Golden Tickets.
Here is how it went down:
First contestant in the audition room was Ongezwa Matshoba, she said it was her first time ever performing in front of people. We must say she was really good; in fact, the first four contestants were good and walked away with golden tickets.
Then things started getting awkward. We met Eugene from Bloemfontein, his performance was touching. Anyway, Eugene attended a music school for a year and a half and he actually paid for it. The judges thought he was bad, but he wasn’t having any of it; Eugene says he will try again later this year on The Voice. Good luck Eugene, we hope you make it.
Thokozile Ndimande, who loves cooking, baking and singing, brought cake for the judges. Somizi, being the good cook he is, could not stop looking at the cake; in fact, he judged it more than her voice. “Slow down on the cream honey, it’s too much,” he said before he buried his face in it. At least she got the golden ticket, and ProVerb ate it.
And we met the performances of the night; Amos, Petrick Mashumu and Ayanda Ntame. These are people who make Idols SA what it is – the real performers who will stop at nothing to get their wooden mic.
Things started off on a bad note for Amos when he could not hear the buzzer instructing him to enter the audition venue – it had to go off a number of times before he realised the judges were ready for him. Somizi saw an opportunity to be a pastor or prophet for the night and grabbed it, shem. We must say he performed better than all the other ones we have seen on TV. From calling the devil a liar to asking Amos to touch the TV screen – he did it all. Here we were thinking Somizi was a child of the light.
Soon we will be addressing Petrick as a hit maker, Bless My Sweating was indeed a hit, and the message was very good. We hope one of our talented DJs does a remix with this one because it promises to be a summer jam.
If we could all be as determined and hard-working as Ayanda, we would be far in life. Ayanda auditioned for a wooden mic in season 10 of the show and sang the hit song Orlando. Idols was kind enough to remind us, and, we must say, he did put up a performance and definitely deserved that wooden mic, though he said he never got it, as it got lost in the mail. So, he came back to defend his title and sang “wash me nene”.
Not even Keletso, who apparently sang massage music from the Far East and sounded like a whale, could match Ayanda’s talent. We’re not sure who is better though; Mbishop or Ayanda? You be the judge.
Me after voting for ANC on the 3rd of August - "wash me wash me". Meaning "watch me" 💚 #IdolsSA pic.twitter.com/1uKZxSQNVU
