Recap: I Want To Sing Gospel Episode 6
August 22, 2011 by Siya Mtolo
While everyone was watching the Sports Awards I kept it locked to SABC 2 for my favourite reality show at the moment.
Ok maybe I did so because ijob yi job but ke I couldn’t wait to see who goes home this week. Sizwe Zako and Sarah Thabethe were the guest judges and the theme was Hymns. Eyi Thabo Mdluli looks hot this season, bamgqokisa kahle ubhuti. Ok back to business, the contestants did duets again though judged individually.
Nhlakanipho Cele and Thando Makhaphela
They sang Akasoze angidele and the song worked well for Nhlakanipho’s voice. I’m not sure about Thando’s phalaza though but since the stylist knows better than me I will assume phalaza is back in fashion.
Lindelani was also impressed by Nhlakanipho’s delievery of the Sotho part of the song and as usual the other judges agreed with him. Sarah is very beutiful though and she does look like Mzwandile may be an uncle soon or maybe it’s just the beauty.
Nozipho Phiri and Nqobile Ngidi
I think I’m also getting to see/hear what people are saying about Nqobile’s voice. Nqobile bhuti you cannot only rely on being Lindelani’s mkhaya. Hayike bekubethwa kwezakhe ubhuti on the tent music and he really enjoyed himself. But there was a lot of noise in their performance yho, I felt like I’m really in a tent revival. Lindelani did also pick up the “krasaring” on Nozipho’s voice and Sarah agreed. These judges may as well just say,”I agree with Lindelani” and not waste airtime repeating what Mkhize says.
Nontsikelelo Shandu and Mvuselelo Radebe
Oh Mvuselelo my Mvuselelo, God bless his beautiful voice. As usual Mvuselelo gave an amazing performance on both When Peace Like a River and Emnqamlezweni though I felt they could have chosen other songs, Mvuselelo’s voice deserves better, I blame Eva. Eish, I may have missed out on Ntsiki’s performance while busy focusing on Mvuselelo but can you blame me? Ntsiki sisi you can take off the beret now, I can only forgive a beret once. Like me Sarah “saw the heavens open” when Mvuselelo performed so I wasn’t biased after all.
Nombulelo Tshefu and Thabani Ncube
They sang intonga yam Zimi Ngonaphakade and I must say Thabani is my second favourite should anything happen to Mvuselelo. Nombulelo also sings very well and looked hot in that figure hugging dress. Lindelani said they are a “nice separate package on the competition” and Sarah said they were her best duet for the night. Hayi this year’s top ten can sing for real, it’s gonna be difficult to have just one favourite.
Sanelisiwe Mvelase and Malcom Manuel
They gave a nice rendition of the old hymn What a Friend We Have in JesOs and There is Power. Hayi nabo they made a lot of noise nje I felt like I was in those American churches. I think Sanelisiwe was generally loud in both the songs. Mkhize was impressed and said he loved the fact that they had fun with their performance and the other judges agreed.
Elimination Time
Nozipho, Nhlakanipho and Thando were up for elimination and as I had wished, Thando was the first to hang her microphone.
Nozipho followed suit, bathi ubhidwe yitent music bandla. I’m sure she already has a place in Joyous Celebration and she qualifies in every way. She really sang very well when it was contemporary music plus how was she supposed to outshine the king of tent music?
The voting continues and I will keep voting for Mvuselelo even if it’s just ngomlomo!

mina i forgot about the SASA ngathi njo kule show, i’ve got a vested interested kule competition.
Kodwa we Siya, where are the other pic manje cos now i have to think and think ukuthi konje wu muphi lo, and im not willing to bo to the other blog to check.

Oohh Ma Word Nontsikelelo’s high notes were a big No NO last nite. I love Nombulelo’s voice, and I have to agree with you Siya it’s gonna be difficult to choose a fav this season. These indeed are talented musicians.

nam for a change i watched the show. wasn’t so sure abt the faces but ke shame i liked the coloured dude, not sure if bcz of his voice or his looks or the fact that he’s coloured. but there was another dude who reminded me of ipraise and worship yaseRUCC kwezaDuets. it’s just a pity i dont remember names

Mvuselelo blesses me, Thabani is also good but angaphinde anxibe la jezi ebrown. I love the girls also but I forgert the names. Ya the competition is tight,as Lindelani would say,kuyozwakala!!!
Ohhh I looooooove Nqubeko,why did he get married
lamarOdom on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 10:07 am
Nqobile must go this weekend,he has reached the ceiling

I finally tuned-in izolo – Yippie!!! I loved Nombulelo & Thabani, ohw my Nombulelo was soo composed and had such a beautiful tone, even when she was taking them high notes, she was very comfortable. Thabani’s voice complemented Nombu’s beautifully. I’m sure Nombu will take it shem!
Malcom le Sanelisiwe were good nabo, even though Sane was louder or maybe they were singing in the same voice which made it a bit difficult to hear Malcom.
Kwaaa kwaaa LamarOdom, mara o right, his opening was shaky, literally & figuratively! I actually wondered how he got to the Top 100 nevermind 8. I guess he’s needed for the comic relief, mara hauwwa he’s taking up space for pure talent.
I was disappointed to see Nozipho go, she has a strong voice, even though she was loud at times, i felt she could control her voice. Mcim, i’m sure someone will find her and polish her for some backing gig or something.
I loved the show, but was bored by the judges’ comments. Mkhize sounds like Peter de Villier’s brother, they have the same voice minus the accent.
Sarah umuhle, pregnancy suits her. Kusho aku dlalwi emshadweni neh.

My girlfriend offended me so much izolo by saying Nozipho looks like Ntokozo Mbambo. Her eyes need laser surgery shem!
NozDee on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 11:10 am
I agree that Nqobile must go now! in this competition he cannot only rely on umculo we tent. He needs to be versatile. All he does ukumemeza nje, haai we’ve had enaf now!
Biskiti on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 11:14 am
Iyho, ivayi-vayi yaka Nqobile***Claps hands once*** and i thought Mam Yvonne was bad, tent of nie tent-voice bhuti has overstayed his welcome. They are busy stringing him along only to drop him next week. Who’s looking after his business while he’s busy serenading aboLindelani?
JEJEYAM on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 11:55 am
I loved Nombulelo and Thabani and ofcos no Mvuselelo … Hayi hayi unqobile needs to go yena hayibo he has overstayed his welcome akakwazi kucula tuuuu
Mabhebeza on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 11:59 am
Somebody please remind me why Nqobile is still in the competition?!!
snapshot on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 1:36 pm
@Mabhebeza,Jejeyam,Biskiti &Nosdee, you guys will be surprise, Nqobile usazohlala especially now that our R2 are talking, phela i Durban is up in arms ithi vote Nqobile, already i’ve seen some status abantu abaku denial on my fb wall bathi vote Nqobile, for wat cos the dude akakwazi ukuculu, this should not be another lesson we need to vote, but honestly i won’t vote, i’ve never voted, angidlali kanjalo or don’t have the time and i forget,
Really now why did they pair isdudla no Nqobile, vele they wanted to sabotage uNtsiki plus i saw uLindelani abambi corner yase Diepsloot on friday i guess he’s doing it for the not so lucky in life.
Fab Tee on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 2:42 pm

Lela on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 4:01 pm
LOL, true that Snapy we know how Durbs does it with their favourites. UNqobile will win while people are busy voting ngomlomo.
Makgotso on Mon, 22nd Aug 2011 4:29 pm
I only saw Mvuselelo’s performance blame the SASA, ubhuti can sing bandla pity he is taken ngabe ngiyazila manje ngiyavakasha nasekerk yakhe ukuze abe uvukasicule wami, LOL
As for uNqobile angazi nje usabekwelweni lapha at least uNtsiki is still there my friends are happy they are voting for her non-stop kwazeke phel waseSkhawini.
