I really love all the perfomers this year and it really feels like time is running out very quickly, we only have 12 of the best and I really mean the best, it came to that time that I think I have to vote for who I love not for the talent the performers have because every one can see that South Africa has huge talent

Good luck for Monday Martin Bester. If you find Randall does'nt chat much...give him fruit. Really sweet ones. That should get him to be a lot NICER ;) ALSO- good news- it seemslike some of the Wooden Mic entries has reached as far as London!! Someone sent it to my phone from the North. - You are Super Famous. Elana xxx

I think that all the idols are doing very well. Lendel's the man and I my vote is for him. I think that he is going to be the next idol, well the first Indian to win the idols. You are great man, keep up the excellent work. Make us "CHAROS" proud.

Hi there, I am so proud of all the Idols. You have all worked extremely hard. I must admit though that my loyalties lie with Sasha-Lee, Jason and Thembi. You guys are awesome.

go lendel..go lendel....rap or sing or play your guitar...u gr8 man.....all the best.........

13 Daled:

rowanm how much is lame lendel paying you to say nice things about him - or are you just tone deaf......

Elana Afrika should be the Idols presenter. She's articulate, entertaining and polished without being artificial

15 jklona:

Tembi was not suppose to go. Lendel Was suppose to go Thembi Is a far better singer than lendel. Thembi will go very far and u will be very succesful. U GO THEMBI U ROCK!!!!!

16 jklona:
(13/04/09)

THEMBI has Great tellent go THEMBI!!!!!!!!!!!

17 keyur:
(13/04/09)

The Indian community feel that Lendel should have gone weeks ago. This is definately not fair. he does not deserve to be here.

18 keyur:
(13/04/09)

Thembi will be far more successful than Lendel. This was not a fair vote!!!

19 keyur:
(13/04/09)

The voting system needs to be changed. The judges should have at least 50% of the vote. This system is not working.

20 keyur:
(13/04/09)

Why don't we have a vote AGAINST a contestant rather than For them. This way, we can elimanate the least popular contestant. In this case it should have been LENDEL.

21 keyur:
(13/04/09)

The organisers need to listen to South Africa. We are not happy with the system. We can't support idols if this continues. It is NOT FAIR and NOT WORKING. If you want to keep the interest...change the rules NOW.

22 WENDYCON:
(13/04/09)

I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN TONIGHTS PROGRAMME AS THEMBI HAS BEEN VOTED OUT - HOW CAN THE PUBLIC SAY SHE WAS NOT THE BEST. IT APPEARS THAT THE VOTING METHOD THIS TIME ROUND IS TOTALLY UNFAIR AND THE JUDGES SHOULD HAVE HAD SOME SAY LIKE THEY DO IN AMERICAN IDOLS. THE BEST TALENT HAS ALREADY BEEN VOTED OFF AND YET SOME OF THE WORST TALENT STILL REMAINS.

23 COUSMOM:
(13/04/09)

The system is a farce. I am a Jason fan and I think he is by far the best, but I would not have minded him coming second to Thembi. There is definetly something wrong. Thembi you rock...... But Jason you rock more.

24 Witch101:
(14/04/09)

I really think Lendel should be a gentleman and back down, COS HE CANT SING!!!!!! This is totally unfair, that someone as tallented as Thembi was knocked off. Really Lendel, you know you cant sing, so please tell your so called fans, to stop making a fool of you. This season should have been called Flop Idols. The judges should have more say, coz it is clear that certain nations are voting for their nation, even though they cant sing. very very sad!!!!

25 Crooner:
(14/04/09)

I'm an Indian and I detest the notion that all Indians are voting for Lendel and keepin him on the show. Hellloooo, we have the power of discrimination and it's as clear as daylight to me and many other Indians that the guy is NOT up to scratch. I think Tembi was awesome and shall be boycotting the show on account of her untimely exit! The voting system needs a re-think.Lendel, YOU are the weakest link. Goodbye....No wait, voetsek!

Why is there no Videos to download of the top 5 show. On the mobi site? I WANT LOSLAPPIE of Graeme.....

31 246:
(20/04/09)

Crooner, you can't be an Indian, if you are you would be voting for Lendel. And so what if all Indians are voting for Lendel, we are proud of him and we want him to win. You must be confused ...This is not the WEAKEST LINK, and where Indians come from we don't use the word 'voetsek! So we are proudly SA and even more proudly Indian. So go back to where you came from!!!!

32 Jugdeo:
(20/04/09)

Sasha-Lee, girl you really rock! I bet if you were to enter American Idols, Paula Abdul and Simon will be blown away by your voice! Our judges could really learn a lot from them!!!

Sasha: I hope that you get to see this, You have a 3yr old FAN who Absolutely loves you and was near tears at the thought that you could have been voted off leave last week...

39 ANNETTEVS:
(24/04/09)

this is going to be a nail biting ending!!!! But I think Jason is the winner. Randal must keep up his appearance I mean he can't smile it would ruin what people think of him - that frown!!!!!

40 mmdmm:
(26/04/09)

Hi guys hope that you will all rock please can you tell mara that mmdmm love her and that she must not listen to the other people. You knou there is a saying in Afrikaans if you talk about me don't worry but when they don't talk about you then you must worry. So mara you musn't worry you are main "man".

41 TaraLouise:

Guys, seriously, it's just a competition. The winner gets to make some cool music and have their face on some CDs but after that they're going to be in the same boat as everyone else, and they're going to have to make their own careers, using the exposure they've gotten from the competition. For all of them it's been more than they can dream of, and the important thing is to continue to support your favourite through whatever they do afterwards, be it wining IDOLS or not.

Elana i tried to phone on Monday night but cant get through want to wish goodluk for Creame for his future its so said to not see him again on stage perform but there can be only one winner .Elana you are so sweet on go extra

43 gingerj2:
(30/04/09)

Thanks Sasha-Lee, saw you at Media 24 today, you sound great in person, i can almost say better than on tv. Just keep a cool head on Sunday. Good luck

44 Dawza:
(30/04/09)

Leave Randal alone, that's just the way he is. I should say having watched Idols from season 1, I appreciate him for his honesty and consistence, and he is not easily swayed by the wind. He is also encouraging in a way to all the contestants, doesn't pass comments that influence the public's vote and is not biased like some judges I know. Gareth is also upfront in his own way, he doesn't let emotions rule his head. I need not talk about the other two, Sasha-Lee made it and we're rather proud!

45 scratch:
(04/05/09)

Randal not biased, you have to be joking. He has never been more biased ever, he was totally into Sasha Lee, she was the only one he could smile for. The only one he praised consistently.
