After weeks of uncertainty and emotional upheaval, tonight\u2019s episode of Idols SA was a bit of a breather for viewers and contestants alike. With the theme: Classic R\u2019nB hits from the 90s, tonight was all about love.<\/p>\n

Keegan set the tone for all things hearts and roses when he opened the show with Luther Vandross\u2019 The Impossible Dream, hitting high notes that had the judges dispersing the compliments at a dizzying rate. Randall even said hotshot Keegan had set the bar so high, it was going to be almost impossible for the other nine contestants to follow.<\/p>\n

It was up to Lucia to prove him otherwise, as the next contestant to step up on stage. Singing Never Gonna Let You Go by Faith Evans. This proved to be right up her alley, as she comfortably breezed through the performance. The judges were impressed, but Unathi urged her to \u201cnot be afraid to leave your emotions on the floor\u201d.<\/p>\n

Sanele\u2019s song choice was the favourite Boyz II Men sing-a-long, I\u2019ll Make Love To You. According to Unathi, he started off shaky but made up for it later. But Randall was not so accommodating, and bluntly stated that \u201cthe train has come off the tracks\u201d with Sanele\u2019s performance.<\/p>\n

The train came back quickly back on the tracks with Noma\u2019s rendition of Whitney Houston\u2019s My Love Is Your Love. The judges agreed that she had taken that popular karaoke staple and turned it into her own hit. \u201cIt was great!\u201d enthused Gareth.<\/p>\n

Bevin put extra slo-mo love with Robbie Williams\u2019 Angels. While the crowd ate it up, Gareth said this was not the best song choice and was a little dry. The rest of the judges concurred, so it\u2019s now up to the public to make their opinion known via their voting thumbs.<\/p>\n

Consistent favourite Terra Cox had Unathi jumping up her chair when he serenaded the viewers with Tell Me What You Want Me To Do by Tevin Campbell. Somizi went one up on her when he strutted from the judges\u2019 table to give him a standing ovation. He called it \u201cthe best performance of the night thus far\u201d. To the crowd\u2019s delight, Randall pronounced \u201cYou channelled El DeBarge\u201d before breaking into song!<\/p>\n

Nosihe changed things up when her turn came. Playing the keyboard like a pro, her crystal clear voice rang out as she sang I\u2019m Your Angel by Celine Dion feat. R. Kelly. Unathi called it powerful, Randall didn\u2019t like the song choice, Gareth said there were times he felt she was shouting at them, and Somizi said it felt like being at a government official\u2019s wedding.<\/p>\n

Tebogo sang Jodeci\u2019s Lately. Randall didn\u2019t mince his words; he told Tebogo he is in danger. Gareth complimented him on his voice but felt he was emotionally disconnected from the song and interpreted it as if it was a protest song.<\/p>\n

Toni Braxton\u2019s Unbreak My Heart received the Thami treatment. Unfortunately he forgot the lyrics an stumbled on the song. The judges\u2019 opinions was split in the middle \u2013 two sure that the voting audience will forgive him while the other two questioned his longevity on the Idols stage.<\/p>\n

Valentine closed off the show on a high note with Whitney Houston\u2019s I\u2019m Your Baby Tonight. Her spirited performance had the crowd on their feet screaming their lungs out. \u201cI was born during this song! Hallelujah!\u201d declared Somizi!<\/p>\n
