well well, kenyans can sing, but they don't waste their time with the idols thing, unfortunately. those who do are either high school kids and the likes. the lawyerchap idiot seems to have a personal dislike towards kenyans. calling them rodents was crap and shows that he's a local SOB who's not travelled anywhere. but fact is kenyans sucked, maybe because the idols thing was not well advertised there. but Zambians seem to be stealing the show

And don't give us that crap about Idols not being well advertised there. So how come the wack singers got to hear about it and turned out almost one thousand strong?

LOL,help me ask am!

Well said Beamer, and i agree. me i'm enjoying the show so far and am looking forward to the last auditions and the next round.All good fun

Well well well. Isn't it always great to check out opinions of those who sing in the shower and end up breaking all mirrors then sit up and say: These guys are whack.

Come on guys. The show is at the auditions stage.

It follows the same theme all over from AI to Idols West Africa. Show the comedic auditions first, then when the contestants move on to the next stage, you will get a chance to see how they got there by viewing a clip of their first audition. If you only showed the contestants who went though, surely that is not good TV.

Whilst some of you will froth and rail at the Judges or even the Contestants, those of us who don't take life that seriously are just having a good time laughing at the comedic value of the Auditions. We are also feeling good that at least we are not the worst singers in the world, (shattered mirrors in the shower, notwithstanding)

And those who sit on the high horse and say: Idols West Africa Auditions were better, well, you need to have your ears checked. And whilst at it, get some glasses too. Coz we watched the same show, friends, and if you need prodding on your Memory Bank, then you can visit,

So whilst Idols East Africa will show you the man with the wig trying to match his hair to his voice, Idols West Africa will show you the half naked man trying to imitate Femi Kuti. Its all part of the fun.

A good panel is made up of the bad guy, good guy and indifferent guy routine so Dede is just doing his thing though he's a bit over enthusiastic at times.
Idols WA is the most hilarious thing on tv of recent, really give it to those peeps who come on air and sound like broken records esp the dude who told Dede after he tried putting him down that he'll wreck more ears!

After watching the charade going on in the name of WA idols, i have come to the conclusion that the quality of judging is a greater let down than the quality of the contestants. To me, Dede is simply put, an unmitigated disaster!, where does he get off judging other people? what is his claim to fame? what is his musical pedigree? why must he be so foul mouthed and uncouth? is he the best that we have? and he has the audacity to call someone with the determination to be original a disgrace to musicology? wasnt he a loafer in shrine leeching off fela till he was kicked out? Its a crying shame that like in our political life we have once again put our worst foot forward in the competition.

Can anyone tell me if they have discovered any discerning criterion to selection by the judges? because i havent, I hear voices that i think yeah! only for those guys to just shoot them down. Why must dede come down so hard on young people whose only offence is that they dared to dream? If its not too late, i strongly urge the organisers to kick him off the show ASAP.

My verdict on the other judges. Nana is there to oil her lips and gaze into space while letting dede bully her while Dan Foster just salivates after the pretty girls.

So its not that bad, people! Its always the same thing.

Even American Idols has some of the funniest auditions, This Season, my Best was, Let My People Go!

But we know that as the show progresses, the wheat is separated from the chaff.

Call Scar a Simon wannabe but the boy has some quick spit-fire quotes.

I think you shouldn't sing to your boyfriend, he will think there is another man in the house.

Angela: What is that tattoo on your arm? A scorpion?
Contestant: It is a scarab
Angela: Scarab
Contestant: Yes, it is an Egyptian beetle.

Contestant sings

Scar: You should have let that scarab thing sing

That voice belongs to the trash, and that is where you should leave it.

To a contestant who had travelled a long distance by bus for the auditions
Step back on the bus and go back home

To a contestant who did a modelling thing before the audition
Your singing is just like your modelling, It's terrible.
