For the first time in seven seasons, Idols SA crowned a queen as Pietermaritzburg's Noma Khumalo was named this year's winner!
In a tight race
against fellow KZN rival, Thami Shobede, the substitute teacher was
announced the
ultimate Idol after a record vote that saw over 83 million
votes cast throughout Season 12.
Mzansi Magic viewers were treated to a spectacular high-octane showcase. Carnival City's Big Top
Arena reverberated with screams of excitement, loud applause and name
chants as the live audience - and TV viewers - were treated to one
sensational act after another. There were pyrotechnics, a laser light
show and some of the best live music in Mzansi today.
The thrill-a-minute showcase got off to a dazzling start as this season's Top
10 reunited on stage, performing This Is What You Came For by Calvin
Harris feat Rihanna. The fireworks continued as AKA blessed the country
with an exclusive Idols debut of two new singles, all while standing on
top of a grand piano. It doesn't get any more Super Mega than that!
Romance was the
order of the evening as the Top Two performed Afro-soul love jams with
local superstars known for their top-charting, heartstring-pulling
tracks. Noma paired with Nathi for the track Noma Kanjani, while Thami
sang Sobabili with a pearl-draped Kelly Khumalo. The audience
delightfully lapped up every single minute of the performances.
More entertainment
came in the form Season 11 winner Karabo, Idols judge Unathi who
reunited with her kwaito collaborator Zola, the Top 10 again with
Beyonce's Flawless as well as this year's Wooden Mic winner Mbishop
Shezi performing an operatic duet that had the crowd their feet.
The last week of
being an Idols SA contestant was anything but relaxed for Noma and
Thami. Last week they recorded their singles, and this week shot the
videos which were debuted on the show. The highlight for the crowd?
Finally seeing Thami with his shirt off!
