SA Idols 6 Coming Soon!
Believe it or not, Mnet will be auditioning for the 6th season of SA Idols from April this year.
Year after year Idols come up with a controversial ending.
Remember Idols 1 had one of the least talented of the top 5 – Heinz – contestants winning.
Claims of racist/elitist voting patterns also plagued the second season when Anke won.
The third season had the sob story of the apple picker Karin from Grabouw. This story ended with murder and a damaged reputation.
The fourth season Mnet allowed multiple voting via Mxit – appealing to young black voters – unsuprisingly 17 year old Jody from the Cape Flats won.
The fifth season had the most controversial ending when Sasha-Lee was named the winner, but it was later found that she had about 200 000 fewer votes than Jason. So they were declared joint winners.
(You do the Maths.)
Seems like Mnet is as thick-skinned as Julius Malema himself.
This year judge Dave has emigrated, so we’re getting at least one new judge.
For those wishing to become the next tabloid fodder, auditions for the 6th season of SA Idols start in Cape Town on April 6, Durban 17, Joburg 24, PE May 2 and Bloemfontein 8 May.
Idols will be broadcast at some stage after the Soccer World Cup in July.

I was watching this progamme ‘IDOLS’ on MWorld this week, and I finally thought of my country Lesotho, that, we do not have such things and its one of the programmes that can help our youth here in Lesotho to develop their careers as well as to show their talents.I am actually interested in knowing or having people like you who could help us do something like these in my country. May you let us know how to start and how I can contact you personally and talk to you about it.
I will appreciate your response. God Bless
Regards

What a stupid RACIST request from Mara for the non whites to vote for the black contestants just to keep them in the competition. Is it not it not bad enough that the country is run on that system? It is a talent show not a political election. You really are a drama queen and you suck as a judge.
