Monday Weekend Wrap Up- Reviewing the weekend that was
There is never a dull moment in South Africa, there's always something brewing. And this weekend was no different. I have reviewed some of our favourite Sunday shows as well as events that took place this weekend.
This week saw the charismatic Lindo leave the competition, contestants this week were accompanied by the lovely voices of the Soweto gospel choir. They added much needed volume to the performances. Going to get straight to my favourite performer of the evening, which was Botlhale he gave the people what they wanted which is passion, he has undoubtedly improved from his audition performance to singing his rendition of 'sedilaka'. He took us to church and showed us why he deserves a place in the top 4 next week. He got ravishing reviews from the judges. The one that stands out is that from Somizi who said that his performance was the best of all Idols seasons. He is a hard working and hungry to get to the top, if he carries on like this he may just take the title home. I don't know what happened to Mthokozisi this week, he was not the same person he was last week. Especially on the first song I didn't necessarily feel the fire from him, something was missing. However he did try to rectify himself with the second song, singing RKelly's anthem ' Storm is over' that is when I could feel the passion from him. I really want him to pull up his socks because he has the voice he just needs to keep focused . Some of the ladies this week didn't do it for me except Paxton who week in and week out does the damn thing. Something went totally wrong with Faiths performances, she was off tune, off key in act all offs in my opinion. I wouldn't be surprised if she goes home this coming Sunday. As for Phindi she was okay for me nothing to write home about,she's skating on thin ice in my books.
OPW never disappoints and this week was no different, meet Betty and Neo who met on social site WeChat. Betty decided to take matters into her own hands and sent Neo an invite and of course Neo accepted the invite. He requested to meet her and indeed that took place after Betty sent him her location. 3 days after dating there they were living together, 15 days later they applied for a house together. Talk about taking things to the next level. It does not end there, she asked for a promise ring, seeing that Neo was not really catching on she decided to go buy herself a ring and asked for her money back from Neo. I'm sure you're probably wondering why you have deleted the APP clearly things happen there. Now let me get to the actual wedding, Betty had more than one dress to wear on the day, I must say they all looked great. Her bridesmaids wore Yellow dresses, the décor was on point. Betty truly embraced the saying ' always go for what you want, no matter what'.
I can never watch an episode without being distracted, thinking that this week would be much different and more exciting. I watched and there were some scenes that were worthy such as the chase between the detective and the criminal. There are some things that are very questionable for me such as how the husband hasn't realised or discovered that the women he has been sharing a bed with is not his wife. Clearly he doesn't know his wife because there are some smaller things he should be noticing such as habits only unique to his wife. Mantwa is so loud I wonder if she can tone down the 'Kasi lingo' a bit because at this point it is sounding a bit forced. I am willing to give them another episode I'm just waiting for the Climax of the show, where I will be glued to the screen and wish that it played for more than hour.
However the twitter streets had a different opinion to mine, here are some of the reactions to last nights episode.
What did you do this weekend ? Let's share :)
Could Botlhale be the underdog? #IDOLSA
