Idols SA live shows kick-off this Sunday
Mzansi finally gets the Top 16 singers who will battle it out for your votes when the live shows kick-off at the Pretoria State Theatre this Sunday.
It was not an easy journey whittling down the numbers to a mere 16 from nearly 80 Golden Ticket holders who descended on to the Wild Coast Sun in Port Edward, KwaZulu-Natal.
It was a trying week of mixed emotions – from agonising over song choice and choosing complementary singing partners, to practising at all hours of the day and night, receiving professional advice from voice coaches, and finally standing in front of the judges on stage in the full glare of television lights.
