Season 2 of I Want To Sing Gospel saw one of the eliminated candidate with Samkelisiwe Mvelase rejoining the competition as a wildcard candidate. Once again Nhlakanipho Cele and Malcolm Manuel were the two with the highest number of votes. The theme: Traditional music....celebrating heritage month and the guest judges were Pastor Solly Mahlangu and Winnie Mashaba.
habani Ncube
He gave an average performance of Unamandla uJehova, and it's been downward spiral for him. He doesn't deserve to win this competition unless he improves next week.
Lindelani though "loved the transition from what he is used to"and he said it was an okay performance which could be better.
Winnie Mashaba said he did a great job, he must just balance his voice.
Pastor Solly Mahlangu...said the song was happy but he did not get the happiness from him.
Mvuselelo Radebe
Compared to what I have seen from him in the past three weeks he gave a much improved performance
Lindelani "beautiful performance, loved it"
Winnie "loved the energy on stage"
Pastor Solly "pushed the song, strong voice and strong presence"
Samkelisiwe Mvelase
She had a false start eyiloza Nangu loJesu and I was like...what's this now?, but she recovered well and gave an okay performance.
Lindelani said she struggle with the tuning issue.
Winnie said she went of tune, she must be careful of the pitch....her voice is out of this world.
Ps Solly "star quality she has"
Malcolm Manuell
First it was Charisma who performed Vrou van Samaria back in 2008 and now Malcolm copied her or is it an issue of not having Afrikaans gospel traditional songs. He did well shem even though I also felt he should not have done the U is My Heil part.
Lindelani liked his attire
Ps Solly said he has a command, interpreted the song correct and confidence is good.
Winnie said he did excellent
Nhlakanipho Cele
He could never do any wrong in my eyes or ears...I just love his unique voice. Even though it was a straight song with only one sentence I would still vote for him. He performed his own song Thixo wam.
Lindelani said it was a straight line
Ps Solly said the voice is good and there was not much he could do about the song.
Winnie...I can't recall what she said
For the second time this season, there was no elimination....the judges felt that the traditional style limits the contestants so it was not going to be fair to the contestants. Anyway, it's obvious who are the final two contestants as far as the viewer votes are concerned....they should just do the remaining contestants a big favour and eliminate them. Next week two will be eliminated and Samkelisiwe's return will be short lived...I think she is going unless mamfundisi intercede's nonestop in the next couple of hours
