Idols SA Season 11 is almost halfway through the Top 10, and only 6 contestants will be left standing at the end of this weekโ€™s Spectacular. Who will it be? Whose fans did not vote enough this week? Who will become the fourth person to leave their Idols SA dreams behind on the State Theatre stage this Sunday?

The heat is well and truly on now, and with allย the Top 7 contestants born in the Nineties, this weekโ€™s musical theme is โ€œThe 90s vs Todayโ€, with each contestant performing a classic '90s hit as well as a hit from the worldโ€™s current music charts.
ย 
And here, in alphabetical order,ย is what each finalistย has chosen to perform:
ย 
Amanda Antony (22) from Port Elizabeth, who was born in 1993, chose Mary J Bligeโ€™s โ€œIโ€™m Goinโ€™ Downโ€ from January 1995 as her Nineties hit, and Siaโ€™s โ€œBig Girls Cryโ€ for her current hit.
ย 
Little Miss Dynamite Dineo Moseki (22) from Vryburg โ€“ also a 1993 baby โ€“ chose Lauryn Hillโ€™s โ€œEx-Factorโ€ from December 1998 as her Nineties song, and local outfit Beatenbergโ€™s โ€œRafaelโ€ off the current charts.
ย 
Twenty-four-year-old Karabo Mogane from Mbombela, who was born in 1991, went back to April 1995 for Boys II Men classic โ€œWater Runs Dryโ€, and from todayโ€™s tracklists he selected Hozierโ€™s โ€œSomeone Newโ€.

At only sixteenย Loyiso Gijana from Uitenhage was born in 1999, and he also chose a Boyz II Men track: โ€œItโ€™s So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterdayโ€, from August 1991. His 2015 hit is โ€œHold Back The Riverโ€, by James Bay.ย ย 

Twenty-three-year-old Mmatema Moremi from Limpopo was born in 1992, but her Nineties hit is from September 1998: Deborah Coxโ€™s โ€œNobodyโ€™s Supposed To Be Hereโ€. From the current world charts Mmatema chose Jess Glynneโ€™s hit, โ€œHold My Handโ€.

Rhema Varrie (21) from Alberton was born in 1994, and his Nineties hit from February 1995 is Radioheadโ€™s โ€œHigh And Dryโ€. His current selection is One Republicโ€™s โ€œCounting Starsโ€.
