The second live show of Idols SA took full effect on Sunday night with some of the contestants bringing their A-game and others not so much.

With the first elimination round just a week away, the top 12 contestants will be chopped down to 10 this Sunday.

In the past two weeks, viewers have witnessed the top 12 finalists contesting for their place in the competition at Pretoria’s Heartfelt Arena. Sowetan predicts how the top 10 should look like:

Ty Loner

The returnee has not only become a favourite for the judges but also for viewers at home judging by the reception on social media. After his first audition song by SZA titled The Weekend, JR declared that Ty had the potential of making his mark as an international artist. This week, JR echoed the same sentiment, adding that Ty shouldn’t forget him one day when he is famous. Ty delivered a stellar performance with soulful singer Presss and followed up with a solo performance of Last Last by Burna Boy. To say he knocked it out of the ballpark is an understatement.

Zee

The season’s youngest singer, 18-year-old Zee, killed her duet of Empini alongside Kelly Khumalo. Although the judges gave her thumbs up, they believed she was intimidated by the iconic songstress. For her solo act, Zee came back stronger, singing sultry tune Surprise by American singer Chlöe. In his comment to Zee, Somizi felt that she shouldn’t be afraid to unleash the beast in her.
