Episode 16 had all the makings of a Showstopper episode! From the ever-so-talented guest judge; actor, singer, CEO of KEG, Khaya Dladla! To the incomparable feature of the Mzansi Gay Choir in the second segment of the show – ‘Impersionations’. To the absolute brilliance of the band, the stage set-up and chosen Top 5 finalists!
Emotions were high on Sunday making this one of the most intense ‘Top’ anything reveal shows! We got to meet Season 17’s Top 5 and enjoy two performances from each of them, but, we also had to sadly say goodbye to another talent, which is never easy but is after all the nature of the beast.
In the spirit of keeping the Top 5 theme, we’ve identified Top 5 tweets for each finalist, bonus tweets and some shoutouts for the Mzansi Gay Choir and Khaya Dladla. Press play!
(Please be advised that ratings are not based on the actual Top 5 finalists' but purely on the number of likes allocated to the spotlighted tweets)
A tweet that stays on repeat for the slept on talent! Wake up Mzansi, Daylin Sass is a force to be reckoned with!
One of the greatest of all time type tweets for Karabo because, she stays killing her performances!
You know you’re good when you’re getting co-signed by exceptional artists that are paving the way in the music industry for you! Here’s a co-sign for S’22kile from Donald!
Many released this type of tweet for Berry on Sunday and this one did the numbers!
Another co-sign from an exceptional artist (from a different practice) for Kevin Maduna (from Jessica Nkosi). Well-deserved!
Bonus Tweets: For Nqobie & from Donald
The Mzansi Gay Choir really were the berry on top of the whole evening! Like any good feature, they added that thing that just made everything that much better!
We’re proud to proclaim that our guest judge releases this season have not disappointed you all. Don’t believe us? The tweets are our ‘credits’!
