I Want To Sing Gospel 2, Episode 6 Recap

Last night’s episode of I Want To Sing Gospel, themed “Open Hymn Book,” featured some of the well known songs and Lindelani was looking for “interpretation of these old songs”. This time Lindelani was joined by Sizwe Zako and Sarah Thabethe (not Ngobeni anymore) as the judges. 

Thabani who is appearing to be the frontrunner at this moment had the highest number of votes, and the unfortunate bottom three were Nozipho, Thando and Nhlakanipho (I need to start voting I don’t want to see him go yet). 



Malcolm, Thabani, Nonsikelelo, Mvuselelo, Samkelisiwe, Nozipho, Nqobile, Nombulelo, Nhlakanipho and Thando

The finalists gave it their best shot in their duets once again and here’s how it went: 

Thando and Nhlakanipho 

They sang Akasoze Angidele / Le Feleng Mo Ke Tsamayang, well Nhlakanipho started very well but his partner just disappeared into thin air, it was obvious she was the weakest link. She completely lost it and she was not strong vocally. Lindelani liked the way Thando matched Nhlakanipho, and I disagree….Thando had no control. Sarah and Sizwe were impressed and loved Nhlakanipho’s voice. I am voting Nhlakanipho 

Nozipho and Nqobile 

After an awful performance last week, Nqobile managed to get more votes than those who were in the bottom three, and once again he sang so bad I felt sorry for him. I just don’t understand why Nqobile is still in the competition. Anyway they sang Ekusho Enyukela / Everyday and Every Hour, You Are Faithful….Nozipho did well but it wasn’t good enough to save her and the less said about the one dimensional Nqobile the better. Lindelani said they were “showing why there were there”, Sarah felt they “performed quiet well” and Mr Zako said they were “sounding very wonderful and very commercial”….Oh puuu leeeez 

Nonsikelelo and Mvuselelo 

Here is another duet that started very well and then lost it in the middle and never recovered. They performed It is Well / Emnqamlezweni. Lindelani “loved the performance”, Sizwe “great future for gospel music in our country” and Sarah “loved it, and felt they were both amazing”. I was not impressed especially with Nonsikelelo….she is in the bottom two for me. 

Nombulelo and Thabani 

The strongest duet of the night and clearly the frontrunners sang Kubo Bonke oThixo / Morena wa Marena, all the other contestants have to do catch up because these two are just flawless and they sang beautifully. Both are very strong vocally and have the stage presence and the character of their voices is distinctive. Lindelani said they are the surprise package of the competition, Sarah “felt like she was watching a performance” and Sizwe said “nivelaphi maan”. 

Samkelisiwe and Malcolm 

They were the final performers and they gave it their best with What A Friend / There is Power / For It Reaches. I enjoyed their performance, Lindelani “they were having fun and very innovative”, Sizwe “very dynamic and powerful” and Sarah “perfect choice of song”. 

In the end, Thando Makhaphela and Nozipho Phiri were sent home, leaving the top eight finalists. Next to leave should be Nonsikelelo and Nqobile, it's time I start voting for real, I can't bear to see my favourites and those who are vocally talented leaving the show early. I am enough with the duets now, I want individual performances now. What's your pick?

Nombulelo and Thabani did it for me last night especially coz they performed Mzoxolo's song, kubo bonke ooThixo. And by that of course I mean one of the songs that Mzo performed so well last year.

Nqobile is still in bcoz of his background just like last years winner forgot his name. He has a fruit n veg(street) at the workshop in durban, n was taken to the auditions by that lady we joyous so that I think also count. He cnt sing I wanda how he managed to stay in this long.

I couldn't even look @ the tv screen maobane, Nqobs must  go shem....  the noise was just 3much...
The other couple that was making too much noise for me( despite all the praises they received 4rm the judges)  was Thabani & Nombulelo.. aa.. they didn't do it for me
Mvuselelo on the otherhand... was the guy for me... that man has a voice JD... I'm voting for him & Nhlakanipho.... no doubt

@ Sbam....Mvuselelo has the voice but it isn't pleasant to listen to him when he hits the high notes.

I've been voting for Nhlaks on that 0839134709 line and it's boring listening to that lady going on and on.....to vote for Nombulelo press 01, to vote for Nhlakanipho press 02. Mind you, I have to wait until the lady reaches number 10 then I can vote for my favourite.

Have you noticed that the judges seem to praise everyone they hardly give the true judgement they need to bring in simone cowell or randal

@ swazzy....I've given up on the judges, they are always praising even when the performance is bad.

Nqobile can sing but not as a lead singer . He could be good in a group.
