We finally have the top 16 contestants from season 16. What has been dubbed the final judgment over the years was handed out by the judges of Idols, Unathi, Somizi and Randall to 31 applicants tonight.
While 15 contestants, including DJ Zinhle’s favorite Matevhu, learned that it was the end of the road for them, 16 of them came out of their misery when they were given the news that they will be among the top 16. contestants who in the coming weeks they will fight for the first definitive prize.
“This year’s competition has been intense for our contestants with all the changes they had to face in theater week. The fate of the contestants is now up to you, the viewers at home, as they will be relying on your votes to ensure they progress to the next round, starting with our male contestants next Sunday, ”says Nomsa Philiso, Director of Local Entertainment Channels on M-Net.
Matevhu, who performed Jazmine Sullivan’s hit song I Need You, was the first to go.
“DJ Zinhle said he wants to do a song with you. That alone is a kind of victory. The competition is very tough. It is difficult for us to choose who passes and who does not. Unfortunately, this is the end of the road for you when it comes to Idols SA season 16, Askies! “Somizi broke the news.
Matevhu was disappointed, but she had made room for these kinds of mishaps. But all was not lost for her. “Obviously I feel sad, although I expected it because of my performance. I forgot the lyrics. I’ll keep pushing. The good thing is that DJ Zinhle said she wants to do a song with me, win or not. So at least it’s a good opportunity, ”she explained.
Twenty-year-old Ntokozo was the first to reach the top 16, followed by Zama, the youngest contestant in the competition this season, who seemed too nervous to face the judges.
The judges had their doubts, but her group and solo performance was solid enough to convince the judges that the teenager was ready for the big stage.
“You have to want to win it. It is not easy to take risks. But we want to risk you. You’re in, ”Unathi pronounced Zama’s final judgment.
However, 15 people had to go home and 16 – eight ladies and eight gentlemen – remain to fight for the number one spot.
