The Showstopper Night was a spectacular two-hour show dressed in all the glitz, glam and dazzling lights befitting an Idols SA stage!<\/p>\n
However, before the sweat had even dried on the contestants\u2019 foreheads after a sensational opening performance of Say My Name by Destiny\u2019s Child, host Proverb had the lights dimmed to announce the one who had received the least number of votes and was on their way out.<\/p>\n

Twenty-nine-year-old Nosihe Zulu became the latest casualty of a lack of votes, making her the contestant exiting the Idols stage. The singer, who first impressed at the Durban audition with her little brother taking over the judges\u2019 table, was this season\u2019s Afro princess and her dazzling smile and powerful voice saw her push this far.<\/p>\n
To bring the mood back up, the Mabala Noise crew including Du Bois, Gigi LaMayne, Nasty C and Ricky Rick took over the spotlight to do what they are best known for \u2013 lots of awesome local noise.<\/p>\n
Showstopper Night is about the contestants showing they deliver the consummate triple threat of showmanship \u2013 singing, dancing and performing.<\/p>\n
Noma was first up and tapped into her inner Sasha Fierce to bring Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Sweet Dreams to life. \u201cYou nailed it! You outshone the dancers and I was just watching you. You deserve a whoooo shem!\u201d was Somizi\u2019s enthusiastic verdict. The performances were off to a good start.<\/p>\n
Next up was Bevin with Michael Jackson\u2019s Rock With You. He sang, he danced, but forgot one crucial thing \u2013 to do the moonwalk. However, that didn\u2019t take anything away from the act. Randall waxed lyrical. \u201cI\u2019ve seen people try to do Rock With You, but I\u2019ve never seen anyone actually DO Rock With You!\u201d<\/p>\n
Keegan tapped into his sensual side, seducing the audience with Daddy\u2019s Home by Usher \u2013 complete with a golden throne and not one but THREE beds! Randall called it the consummate performance, Unathi loved that he didn\u2019t hold back and Gareth declared: \u201cWhatever you\u2019re doing, keep on doing!\u201d<\/p>\n
There were mixed reactions to Lucia\u2019s performance. She went local with Malaika\u2019s Destiny, adding some kasi flavour to the night. Somizi didn\u2019t mince his words; he hated it. Unathi and Gareth said they liked the maturity in the performance, and Gareth said it could have done with some energy.<\/p>\n
Terra Cox put on an entire production with an Emergency Room theme for his performance of Love on the Brain by Rihanna. Somizi called him authentic. \u201cYou are definitely here to win it; you are not here for any games. Your head doesn\u2019t get any bigger, only your hair does!\u201d<\/p>\n
Thami promised an epic performance and (almost) delivered. He sang Neo\u2019s club banger Closer. Somizi could not fault his vocals, but encouraged the young man to let himself go. Randall concurred, saying \u201cIf you\u2019re here next week, you\u2019ve got to give yourself. Not your best; yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bringing the show to a close was Tebogo, with a hyper-energetic performance of Treasure by Bruno Mars. Even when his mic got switched off, he still went on with the performance like a consummate professional. The judges were extremely impressed. \u201cThis isn\u2019t anyone\u2019s game yet, and that\u2019s what makes this so exciting. Great performance,\u201d said Gareth.<\/p>\n
What a way to end the Showstopper Night!<\/p>\n
