However, his recent song choices and performances left the judges underwhelmed and receiving the least number of votes for the week.<\/p>\n<p>But it was not all doom and gloom. The Top Four enjoyed a 72-hour whirlwind visit to the Big Apple last week, where they took on the sites, rehearsed and met American Idol judge and talk show host Harry Connick JR.<\/p>\n<p>Former Idols contestant Shekinah returned in front of the judges as an award-winning vocalist, performing Black Coffee\u2019s the chart-topping track, Your Eyes. It was a site to behold!<\/p>\n<p>Back on to this year\u2019s contestants, Tebogo and Thami opened the show with a duet of Don\u2019t Let the Sun Go Down by George Michael feat Elton John. Noma and Terra Cox followed with Hurt You by Babyface and Toni Braxton, shortly before the voting results were announced.<\/p>\n<p>This week the Top Three performed twice more, and their spirited acts showed how much they were fighting to get to the finish line.<\/p>\n<p>Tebogo led with Ngoma by Zahara, followed by Michael Jackson\u2019s You Are Not Alone on piano. The judges were bowled over. \u201cYour range is extraordinary,\u201d declared Gareth. Somizi proclaimed: \u201cYou have done your best and your best is good enough.\u201d Unathi followed with \u201cYou are making all the right decisions at the right time.\u201d And Randall announced that \u201ctonight you have made the right choices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Thami followed with an emotive To Make You Feel My Love by Adele and channelled his inner Motown funk with Let\u2019s Get It on by Marvin Gaye. Somizi told him he deserves to be on that stage as part of the Top Three, while an impressed Gareth showered him with compliments and called Thami \u201can old soul\u201d. Randall also added his accolades. \u201cThis is testimony to how hard you\u2019ve worked and how much you want to be here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The last woman standing, Noma started off with Kelly Price\u2019s As We Lay by Kelly Price and closed the show with Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s Daddy Lessons. While Randall and Gareth were underwhelmed by the first song, Unathi showered her with compliments. \u201cYou killed it! I\u2019m proud of you, you are deserving to be here. Randall and Gareth did not like the first song.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the race to the finale as tight as a drum, Randall reiterated that this is anyone\u2019s game.
