Welcome to the south-africa-auditions.com .I’m not the biggest fan of Idols. In fact, I’m not a fan at all. But unfortunately, it’s Idols season in the tropics and life, as we know it, was never going to be the same again, beginning Sunday 6th April. Early Monday morning, my boss—yes, contrary to perceived impressions, I hold a day job—asked me a seemingly innocent question: “Did you watch Idols Africa?” And before I could share my weekend’s experiences, he retorted: “It’s not good, man!” I think it was in the Kenyan auditions. Then there was the twerp in the Tanzanian auditions who, despite the most repugnant rendition of Jim Reeves ever caught on camera, did not see the irony in the judges applauding his performance, and even gleefully approached their table when one of the judges admonished him to “Come on”. But I digress…
If Idols Africa won’t bring us the “next big thing” it promises, then it has succeeded beyond doubt in riskily exposing us to Africa’s deadly talent, in addition to the biggest bunch of weirdos in African television history since Ofunneka drunkenly shagged Richard’s leg on that Saturday afternoon in BBA2. I remember seeing, to my consternation and distress, a grown man with a three day old beard and a badly thrown on blonde wig attempting to sing in a falsetto and generally carrying himself like a woman, minus the boobs of course.
