Vote for the winner of The Voice SA NOW!<\/strong>
\nCaroline, Craig, Fatman, Josh, Luke, PJ and Samantha need your support for next week\u2019s grand finale<\/strong><\/p>\n

After a dramatic week on The Voice SA in which M-Net became aware of alleged paid-for marketing efforts (boosted posts) in previous weeks which could have impacted the voting results, no-one from the Top 5 left the show tonight [Sunday, 2 July]. On top of that the two talent who left the competition during the weeks of the boosted posts, #TeamLira\u2019s Luke Lovemore and #TeamKaren\u2019s PJ Pretorius, decided to accept M-Net\u2019s invitation to return to the show.<\/p>\n

This means that fans\u00a0are now voting directly for the singer who they want to see nabbing the title of the winner of The Voice South Africa Season 2 and, this vote is equally important for the celebrity coaches, Kahn Morbee, Karen Zoid, Bobby van Jaarsveld, and Lira, who all still have talent in the competition with an equal chance of winning the title!<\/p>\n

Josh Ansley (31) from Johannesburg kicked the show off this evening on a high note with the Toto classic \u201cHold the Line\u201d. \u00a0Kahn compared it to Michael Jackson and Lira thought it was the perfect opening to the show. \u201cSuper, super proud of this guy!\u201d Coach Bobby said happily. \u201cSouth Africa deserves someone like you to represent our country in the world,\u201d he told Josh.
\nJosh\u2019s voting number is 15<\/p>\n

Samantha Leonard (24) from Kimberley performed the Alicia Keys hit \u201cGirl On Fire\u201d and Bobby said it was an appropriate song for her. \u201cYou are probably one of the most consistent performers in this competition,\u201d Kahn said, and Sam\u2019s Coach Karen thought she nailed it. \u201cYou are my Number One!\u201d she said.
\nSam\u2019s voting number is 08.<\/p>\n

#TeamBobby\u2019s Caroline Brussow (32) from Bloemfontein took it back to the Eighties with the Bonnie Tyler hit \u201cHolding Out for a Hero\u201d from the movie \u201cFootloose\u201d. \u201cYou don\u2019t need a hero, you are a hero,\u201d Karen told her. \u201cI\u2019m sometimes at a loss for words,\u201d Lira admitted, \u201cyou keep getting better and better.\u201d Kahn said what impresses him most about Caroline is her character and her attitude behind the scenes. \u201cYou look like a Grammy tonight!\u201d Bobby joked. \u201cIf I had a Grammy I would give it to you.\u201d
\nCaroline Grace\u2019s voting number is 13.<\/p>\n

#TeamKahn\u2019s Craig Lucas (23) from Cape Town selected The Police\u2019s \u201cEvery Breath You Take\u201d for his final competition performance and earned a standing ovation from his delighted Coach. \u201cYou\u2019re amazing, never forget that!\u201d Lira told him. \u201cI thought that was indescribably wonderful,\u201d Karen said. \u201cYour artistry is amazing,\u201d said Bobby. \u201cI think you\u2019re going to do extremely well in this country.\u201d
\nCraig\u2019s voting number is 01.<\/p>\n

In the second song from the movie \u201cFootloose\u201d tonight, The Pride of Bela Bela, #TeamKahn\u2019s Fatman (41), performed the title track, \u201cFootloose\u201d. Bobby didn\u2019t think it was Fatman\u2019s best performance but Lira disagreed. \u201cYou\u2019re an all-round entertainer, baby!\u201d she said. And Kahn pointed out that Fatman is a larger-than-life character, \u201cbut behind all that character is an abundance of talent,\u201d he noted.
\nFatman\u2019s voting number is 02.<\/p>\n

PJ Pretorius (26) from Secunda returned to perform Green Day\u2019s \u201cBoulevard of Broken Dreams\u201d. Bobby remarked that the most important thing a singer can have is tone, and that PJ has that, and Kahn said he was just happy to get to listen to that voice again. Karen commented that she appreciated the lyrics about \u201cwalking a lonely road\u201d, because PJ had learned through the competition to be himself and \u201clive his truth\u201d.
\nPJ\u2019s voting number is 07.<\/p>\n

#TeamLira\u2019s Luke Lovemore (23) closed the show with \u201cBest of You\u201d from The Foo Fighters. \u201cI think we got the best of you tonight,\u201d Karen told him. \u201cI think some people are scared now!\u201d she added. Bobby said Luke brings something special to The Voice SA. \u201cThis is the you-est you I\u2019ve ever seen on the show,\u201d he said, and Lira thought that was the best compliment. \u201cThis was the best version of you,\u201d she agreed.
\nLuke\u2019s voting number is 10.<\/p>\n
