SA’s Got Talent: Ian and Shado on 5FM
This morning Ian von Memerty and Shado Twala appeared on Gareth Cliff’s breakfast show to promote tonight’s final.
They said (like us) they were delightfully surprised at the extent of the talent in this country – and the variety of different fields contestants were proficient in.
When asked why Cleo was selected ahead of drummer Daniel, Ian gave the most ridiculous answer I think I’ve heard as a reason a contestant was eliminated ahead of a less talented one.
Ian said he was afraid that Daniel was taking strain. (Not that he looked like he was.) But that’s not even the kicker.
He said Daniel has had loads of opportunities already – like performing in New Orleans, USA. And he was headed to somewhere overseas later this year.
If he had all the opportunities in the world, why would the child be taking strain in a local talent contest?
Whatever, Ian!
I thought this was SA’s Got Talent, not who can/can’t take the strain in the judges opinion.
Ian also said the two favourites are Darren and George. I agree with that.
I’ll be more than happy if neither of the two children – Kalon/ Cleo wins.
For the rest, I like them all and any of them would make a worthy winner.
I will make my decision only after viewing the acts tonight though.
