With the shocking departure of Loyiso Gijana last Sunday, only four Idols SA Season 11 contestants are left rehearsing this week. For once, all four of them will get a chance to perform on Sunday before they have to bid farewell to yet another friend.
ย
The songs for the Top 3 Spectacular at the State Theatre this Sunday (8 November\)ย were chosen for the contestants by the Idols SA band, and will kick off with two duets. Twenty-four-year-old Siphelele Ngcobo from Inanda and 24-year-old Karabo Mogane from Mbombela are teaming up to perform Lโloyd Cele and Loyiso Balaโs hit โThandoโ. The only woman left standing in this competition, 23-year-old Mmatema Moremi from Limpopo, is singing Ariana Grandeโs โLove Me Harderโ with Rhema Varrie (21) from Alberton.
ย
There are also spectacular guest appearances this week by the South African group Gangs of Ballet, andย the Motswako Originator himself, Khuli Chana, along with Patoranking.
ย
But as much as it is a Spectacular, it is also still a competition;ย and the contestants are also preparing two individual songs each with which to impress the judges and, more importantly, the fans.
ย
Karabo is preparing the Al Green classic โLetโs Stay Togetherโ and, taking a leaf from Sipheleleโs playbook with a South African hit, Zaharaโs โUmthwaloโ.
ย
Mmatema is working on Chaka Khanโs anthem โIโm Every Womanโ and Mafikizoloโs โHappinessโ.
ย
Rhema is singing the Jackson Fiveโs โI Want You Backโ and the Miguel hit, โAdornโ.
ย
Siphelele hopes to impress with another Luther Vandross classic, โDance With My Fatherโ, as well as ZamaJobeโs โNdawo Yamiโ.
