Idols SA judge, Somizi Mhlongo has landed himself in hot water with the viewers of this music contest show.

On the episode that aired on Sunday, the 23rd, one of the contestants who is loved by many, probably a fans favourite, Thapelo, performed a song, Seasons by Lloyiso.

Lloyiso is also a former Idols SA star that has now gone international with his music.

 

 

 

 

Viewers of Idols SA quickly got angered by Somizi’s remarks in his judgement to Thapelo where he undermined Lloyiso, in his praise to Thapelo and frankly, viewers did not share the same sentiments than him, infact they opposed exactly what he said.

In his remarks after Thapelo’s performance, Somizi said his performance of Seasons was way much better than Lloyoso’s version.

That did not settle well with viewers as they quickly headed to Twitter and told Mhlongo to respect Lloyiso’s vocals.

Mhlongo said Thapelo’s performance was so fire and better than Lloyiso’s.

In one of the tweets, people asked why Somizi and Thembi are lying? Maybe they were intimidated by the crowd but to be honest, Thapelo’s performance was not good at all, it was all over the place and just not good.
