In this weeks episode of
I WANT TO SING GOSPEL, we were introduced to the Top 31 and the judgse were Lindelani Mkhize, Nkqubeko Mbatha and top 3 finalist of season 1 Charisma Hanekam.
Immediately Thabo Mdluli told them that 7 will be eliminated...o fcourse I expected divine, entertaining and inspiring music from the contestants since this is a competition, but no, we had to endure horrible singing with some bullies.
The contestants were divided into 4 groups with each group having 8 singers. Lindelani Mkhize wanted someone who will blend well in a group and also shine within a group. They were given 1 hour to rehearse and to sing in harmony.
Group 1
The first group was bound to flop from the word go, there was no cohesion and top it all, they were all talking at the same time and then entered bully by the name of Rozanne Seims. She is a control freak who never knows when to shut up.

Shaking my head*
Well, they did perfom what Lindela termed and ordinary song....the were (krasing) makin noise. One girl who stood out for me was Nombulelo Tshefu(Handkerchief) from Cape Town.
Group 2
The second group made things worse, they were not sure who was to start the song, disorganised and they had their own bully by the name of Ruth (don't know her surname yet).
Ruth....the bulldog
He he he...she killed me when she said to some girl "I can't sing next to her". The girls felt that she was "rough". They performed Oa Halalela, a very simple song I must say, they lacked creativity shem....all they made was a lot of noise. Charisma was "blessed with the way they worshipped"
Group 3
I wasn't convinced with the way they sang, but they were united, they chose a leader (forgot his name) who lead them. Lindelani thanked them for "saving the day" and they were the first group to get a positive comment from the judges.
I liked them...even though I wasn't sure about their song
Group 4
This group was mostly made up of guys and it had 1 girl by the name of Thando Makhaphela who was the third bully, she was bossing the guys shem. The guys sang a medley and they were bimbing....tjo. The harmony was really bad, Lindelani frowned and I thought he was about to hide - then they sang Wahamba Nathi....the first 2 guys who took the song....beautiful voices and I hope they maintain the standard.
Elimination
Lindelani felt that his job was made easy and it was not difficult for him to eliminate. So 7 contestants were shown the exit door and 24 are left. Next week another 7 will get a chop.
Poor girl....she had stomach cramps, all she is thinking about is that R150 000
