Greeting to you all bazalwane in the Name of my Lord and Saviour Jesus Chris...it is once more with great joy and love to bring you this week's recap of I Want To Sing Gospel. Due to some unholy circumstances, I could not write last week's recap...enough about me I have prayed and fasted the whole week and all is forgiven.
Last night, like Lindelani I felt the competition coming to life. I felt the electrifying dynamic connection to God due to some wonderful praise and worship dished out by the contestants. In my unholy situation I felt holy again, the anointing in those voices...even those who were eliminated should be proud of themselves.
As usual the group, they had to perform a song to test their vocal abilities *very predictable if you ask me*. They were ofcourse fighting for the top 10 spot. The guest judge for the night was Idols Sindi Nene who looked more blonde than the word blonde....unlike Miss Hanekam, she knew what she was talking about, made some pretty good comments.
Here's how it went down:
Group1 - FOR HIM
This group sang Uthando Lukababa, a song chosen by Sthembiso. Poor Malcolm had no choice but to compromise and learn the song and they did well and they also sang Jesu is Love. The only weakest link in this group was the lady in pink...Andile ebekhenkceza yedwa shem.
Lindelani was proud and highly impressive by their performance and liked their contrast of the song. Sindi said they worked well as a group and it was an amazing performance.
Group2 - UNLIMITED
Lindelani Mkhize felt uneasy about their song choice and they had to change it as they were not blending. Well they performed Kuyabonelelwa.
Lindelani - "lovely awesome performance"
Sindi - "worked very hard as a group"
Group3 - PRAISE SAINTS
This group sand Lapheng'iholela khona, shoot me for being a pessimist but I felt nothing special about their performance, they might have sang in Afrikaans but they were just all over. I guess Rozanne lives to sing another day.
Lindelani said it was a nice performance, they had a false start and their chorus was unconvincing.
Sindi said they had powerful voices, impressed by the Afrikaans part even though she couldn't understand the words "talk about being blond"
Group4 - TESTIFY
Somebody shout Halelujaaaaaaaa....I felt heavens open, and I was flying with angels...no I was an angel myself. They sang eGolgotha and Awesome God...spiritually, there was a connection with what they were singing, they were innovative and I was impressed.
Lindelani loved their arrangement and the way they were supporting each other.
Sindi said they did very well.
ELIMINATION
I wasn't happy with Karabo's elimination, Nqobile had to go but who am I? Oh I felt sorry for Anele who was so heartbroken...apparently she has tried 5 times to win these competitions...maybe she should try modeling.
I am so looking forward to next week, the remaining Top 10 will perform and then they will feel our wrath.
