They have enough drive to get into the Idols SA Top 3 – but how does it feel? And can they actually drive that Toyota Starlet away if they win?

If you want to have a “Showstopper” of an episode, you need to bring songs that are up to the task; from Whitney Houston to Rihanna, Makhadzi to Beyonce, the Idols SA contestants plan to bring down the house.

Yoh! We appreciate the effort, but not the execution. Passion might get you to the race, but it won't win it for you.
