Idols Is Back! (East Africa)

Kenyan auditions are not the worst, its the one for Malawi. Terrible singers, no one of them were given the golden ticket, Its like they don't even think before going for the auditions.

d only judge i admire is tk.angela is begining to upset me,big time.i mean wats up wit d meaningless scar kiss.and i hear she is married.nawahoo!!and scar,my God,sometimes i wish i culd enter that audition hall,and plug his heart wit a knife.God i hate him so much.but then the east african idols in general is below average.and the judges suld stop talking nonsense about stiff competition because i don't see any competition at all.and after the malawi audition,i choose to reserve my commentsssssssssssssss.but i no my eyes bled at the extreme lack of talent among the malawian people

hey guys, do i seem to have missed something?? on which channel did they show the top 24 thing?? i've been glued to channel 198 on dstv but i have seen anything worthwhile,

Most of those guys can't sing to save their lives i really can't blame some of them though because their accent really can be twisted sometimes is  but i also think the judging is whack they always seem to concur with each other too much i really can't stand that

On a lighter note they have some chicas there and to think i always under-rated their babes.You need to see the big fat booties and juicy titties on some of these chics

Same question I was asking myself.

How do you perform so badly and then go through to the Top 10.

Like LC said up there, Ammara and Samantha were the good voices. And they sang well even on Sunday. Well, Mukuni tried and so did Priscilla but they couldnt hold a light to Ammara. Meeghan and Cynthia, well, sucked, big time.

Judge Kaweesa tied to guide the voting but as usual the public got it wrong.

Which is what I had predicted at Post Number 27

Come on Akowonjo, these Judges are human.

Whilst we are busy judging the judges, we should remember that voters quite often get it wrong too.

Sometimes even voting on racist grounds?  http://www.buzzle.com/editorials/6-16-2002-20565.asp

So it will be terrible if we had very good singers and got confused on who should be the Idol. If the Judges let a few rotten eggs through to the next stage and let a few very good singers out, it is all part of the excitement. Its what can make you vent on this forum. It is the same argument people use to say referees in football should not use video evidence. The Idols concept is good if we have a few mistakes here and there. Mistakes by the contestants (eg wrong choice of song), mistakes by judges (passing on good talent) and mistakes by the viewers (voting out people with talent).

Sometimes I blame ourselves too. I mean, sometimes we do not vote in some of these shows and hope that everybody who votes gets to be reasonable.

Well, shock on you.

Lawyerchap, una don come here again.
Good to see you with you insightful analysis. How did your "Call to prayer" pitch do last year?

Lawyerchap, good to see you here, Looking foward to your analysis

one of my colleagues came in to work the other day and started singing,
"Some people want, fame and and fortune" using a "particularly-idols east africa" format. we all just started laughing.

i love the lilogwe auditions. kept me laughing during those bad days

Hey people,
Been offline since the weekend due to some small illness. Will be back to full strength by tomorrow. Meantime, Cynthia Kuto in the Top 10? How on earth did that happen? I so did not feel her performance on the night. But she sure looks great. Great eye-candy for television, but the singing? It totally didn't 'werk' for me. Even priscillah was way better. But perhaps Priscillah isn't built like an idol and so she didn't make it. Much the same way the albino with the goosebump inducing voice didn't make top10 in the west african edition.

But Ammara! Oh Ammara. I fear that girl. And i fear for that girl. As at Sunday, she appeared to be losing her voice but she still blew the competition away. Thankfully she will have about a month to recover it before the top10 starts to perform. I fear for her because she is so good that people will become complacent and neglect to vote for her, much like happened to Jodie. But she is clearly the best in the competition.

Singing next week are Katungulu, Trinah, Faycal, Penjani, Irenne and Alice.  Penjani won a local version of Idols in her country and actually went to canada to record an album. It never materialised and she came to audition for East African Idols. At her audition i didn't think she was up to scratch but she got the gplden ticket and made it into the top24, so she must be doing something right. She will be one to watch, just because of her background story.

Not too sure if Katungulu is the shorthaired chic who sang the zulu song at the auditions, but if she is, then i think she's got a great chance of making the top10. Faycal will be holding it down for the guys and i wish him luck.

Well, let's see how this goes, shall we?

Peace Out.

 
@Uchetobi
Great to see you here too. Looks like its going to be a great ride.


@Adechuks
Thanks bro. Call to prayer went to another agency. Thanks for all your support. How you doing?

Hi guys hook up with friends on face book and check out the MUSIC UNITED group

Boring ?
Are you kidding, it's hilarious!
But seriously, it's a lilttle drab,but a few talents here and there.
Lets see how it goes in the end.

u should watch, a guy called Erick, with a big afro, I think he's from Zim. I saw him at the auditions stage and he made it to the top 24.

Well, it seems the Penjani who made the Top24 was not the same one who won the local version of idols in her country. But despite her very best efforts singing Celine Dion's "It's all coming back to me now" on Sunday, she was still the first person to be kicked off Idols last night.

Irenne the mouthy had to eat humble pie last night as she also got the boot after an anemic performance of Celine Dion's "Declaration of Love" on Sunday. Independent judge Kaweesa summed up her performance by saying she left him just as she met him. In other words, her performance had no effect on him. And i agreed with him, though i probably would not have put it quite that way.

Trinah Chisanga was the highpoint of Sunday's performances. Clad in a striking white and black hips-displaying ensemble, she did magical things with that venerable ode for pining lovers "When i need love." Her performance was a clear statement of intent to everyone who would make it into the top10: Trinah is here to win this thing. It was thus no surprise when she became the third person into the Top10.

Goofy Katungulu, winner of catwalk Kenya and the last person into the Top24 put on quite a display with her rendition of Gloria Estefan's "Rhythm of the Night." But the beautiful dance moves and the shoes weren't enough to convince Africa to keep her in the Top10. Well, i guess its back to scissors, needle and thread for the gifted kenyan designer.

Alice was completely forgettable in her performance of "Thunder only happens when its raining" while Faycal's rendition of Michael Buble's "Crazy Little thing called love" didn't exactly have me jumping up and down in excitement, but it was apparently enough to get him into the Top10. Personally i think they went for gender balance with the choice of Faycal, because i think that generally Katungulu's performance was more enjoyable than Faycal's.

Group Three perform next Sunday as Doris, Chibwe, Nicollette the concert violinist, Eric of the big afro, Adiona of the beautiful eyes who belongs to a musical group with members older than her father and Simukeliso take on the Idols stage.

Does anyone know Miss Zulu Song's name?

Peace out.
