IDOLS SA SEASON8

South Africa’s biggest reality competition, Idols, is back again. For over a decade, the South African version of Idols has been one of the country’s biggest shows, always full of curiousity, scandal and above all, singing. The show's speciality is forging superstars from raw talent and it has consistently launched the contestants to the top of the pop charts.

IdolsSA season promises todeliver yet another amazing show.

Season 8 Idols promises to deliver excitement and an interesting journey for both the audience and the contestants. Thousands of hopefuls auditioned in the hope of being crowned SA’s newest singing sensation. The numbers were reduced down to 89, then 50, then 34 and currently standing at the Top 10.

This season’s judges are Randall Abrahams, Unathi Msengana and Gareth Cliff who are searching for sensational talent and shatter misguided music superstar dreams. Unathi Msengana, the host of the breakfast show on Metro FM is an established recording artist, songwriter and African Renaissance woman. Gareth Cliff joined Idols in Season 2 and has general knowledge regarding the music entertainment. Randall Abrahams is the judge that everyone loves to hate, as well as the judge everyone wants to impress.

The Top 10 Spectacular phase is currently underway and kicked off to a fantastic start. We cannot wait for more and more singing from the Contestants. The first round of performances impressed everyone. The theme was "Old School / New School" and we loved the fresh spin put on to classical songs.

We are waiting with curiosity and anticipation to know those who will make it through to the Top 9. Your votes will decide. Keep voting for your favorite contestant to help grow the South African music industry.
