The Voice SA: Amanda Faku gets a "four-chair-turn"
Amanda Faku has never set foot on a stage but last night she knocked the socks off the judges of The Voice SA and Lira happened to snatch up the extraordinary singer.
The 23-year-old from Port Elizabeth, who received the fastest four-chair-turns from the coaches, performed John Legend's "Ordinary People."
To make matters even more unbelievable, it was the first time that Amanda had ever stepped onto a stage to sing.
Like so many "ordinary" people Amanda grew up singing in her family's home church and was studying towards her qualification in accountancy - just like Lira did before she became a super star.

But as Karen pointed out to Amanda, her performance was "anything but ordinary." After all four of the coaches literally begged her to join their teams, it was soulful songstress Lira who Amanda picked to mentor her further in the competition.
