June 2008
The finishing line may be in sight for our IDOLS Top 10, but 9 of them will not reach it. There’s only space for 1 Idol at the top! The elimination process kicked off Monday night on M-Net (DStv Channel 101/102). Africa voted, and decided that Christine (Kenya) didn’t make the grade.
The judges dished up their verdicts in video inserts at the start of the show, and found it tough to choose between Christine and Cynthia as the weakest contestants from the first Spectacular. Ultimately, they unanimously decided that Cynthia was their pick to leave on the night – but Africa still had to vote.
Host Lebo Mzimbi dimmed the lights and cued the infamous IDOLS mood music. He summoned Eric first, but sent him to the ‘safe’ side of the stage immediately. Ammara and Trinah followed quickly.
Faycal must have been hoping for a similarly quick trip, but had to wait as he was told he was part of the bottom 3. Wild Card Mkhululi was sent straight into the Top 9, and Adiona followed after a dramatic pause. Not so lucky was Christine, who was sent to join Faycal. Lebo called Cynthia and Nicollette up next, sending Cynthia to safety but asking Nicollette to stay as the third member of the bottom 3.
Lebo made Faycal, Christine and Nicollette sweat for a bit, but ultimately Christine was sent packing.
That leaves 9 contestants in with a shot at the ultimate prize of US$ 80 000 and a recording deal through Sony BMG. They will battle it out at next week’s second Spectacular show, broadcast on M-Net (DStv Channel 101/102) on June 8. After the show is screened on Sunday, Africa has the power to choose who stays in the competition so get your vote in!
