Thousands upon thousands of aspiring singers queued in
cities all across South Africa early this year for just a shot at competing and
this week, live at the State Theatre in Pretoria, it all comes down to just two
finalists.
Vincent Bones (30) from Pietermaritzburg is among the
finalists who have been working hard all week to prepare three songs each for
Sunday’s Top 2 Spectacular of the historic tenth season of Idols South Africa.
This Sunday, (November 16), the Top 2 Idols Season 10
finalists will each perform the brand new hit that has been written especially
for them; a song that the judges, Randall Abrahams, Unathi Msengana and Gareth
Cliff, chose for them; and then a new and hopefully much improved interpretation
of the song with which they originally auditioned.
The title of Vincent’s original new song is Let Me Love. The judges picked Ringo
Madlingozi’s Sondela for him and his
audition song is a mashup of Eminem’s classic Lose Yourself and Adele’s Oscar-winning Bond theme, Skyfall.
The Top 2 Spectacular goes out live on M-Net and Mzanzi
Magic on Sunday, November 16, at 17h00, and fans can also look forward to guest
performances by The Graeme Watkins Project and Season 9 runner-up, Brendan
Ledwaba.
