Idols SA Season 17 Kick off on a high note reuniting Mzansi viewers as the search to find the next Idol Premiered
Linathi was the first aspirant to take centre stage. Through her beautiful audition, the show was off to a great start. We got the first four yeses and first golden ticket of the judges' auditions.
Golden tickets were dished out, and more contestants marked a spot for themselves to attend Theatre Week. After some positive auditions, things started to take a different turn.
It surely would not have been a complete show without Somgaga dishing out words from his personal and unique dictionary. He used unfamiliar words such a "phelled" or "bedanger"
There was also 30-year-old Berry, who is a second time lucky contestant. She made it to the top 30 10 years ago, and wants to go far this year. Her rendition of Never enough by The Greatest Showman was declared the performance of the day by the judges.
Guest judge, Prince KayBee said, "You are the most experienced performer of the day."
Even though, the last performer did not get a golden ticket to end the day on a high. Moghel came out gun blazing, describing herself as a full package with all the qualities that makes her the next SA Idol. Wooden Mic maybe huh?
However, 20 Idols SA hopefuls got golden tickets on Day 1 and they ready for theatre week.
Catch Idols SA next week in the presence of the Gospel maestro, Ntokozo Mbambo who will serenade the judges and audience in-between as our guest judge.
Idols SA season 17 is on Mzansi Magic, DStv Channel 161 on Sundays at 17h30. For more information, visit our website: http://www.idolssa.tv
