Last week, our Idols took their performances to new heights thanks to elaborate production and spectacular choreo much to the delight of everyone watching. It’s no wonder therefore that expectations will be runnig high when they hit the stage again. This time however, they’ll need to command people’s attention all alone yet deliver the same thrill-factor. Here are all the marks we think they’ll need to hit to steal the show.
Every brilliant performance starts with preparedness and sound knowledge of the music. Living in the digital age has made this even easier because the most memorable performances of all time are a meer search away. From Whitney’s stunning riffs to Beyonce’s burlesque inspired routines, taking a closer look at diffrent performance styles is a great way to pick up on certain core attributes that make an entertainer unforgattable. As Michael Jackson put it
Perfecting your technique and performance style might be key parts of a great performance but people also want to FEEL when they listen to music. As such, it’s important to dig deep and connect with not only the music but the audience as well. Ultimately, music is about communication and a good artist is always intentional about carrying across the message in the music. If you aren’t really communicating anything, what exactly are you doing?
Xae nana you are amazing!!! You’re going to do great things! #IdolsSA

Maturity isn't based on age…and YANGA is a perfect example of that.
I see a bit of Erykah Badu, Jennifer Hudson, Brenda Fassie, Zahara in her.
YANGA doesn't just sing, she lives in the song and becomes the song. Now that's ART. ❤?
