For the first time ever Cape Town will not have a contestant in the Idols final this year, after the lovely Chloe Kiley (23) had to wave her Idols dreams farewell.

The Top 8 Idols were mentored this week by J-Something from the SAMA-award winning house group MiCasa, who were in the house to perform their hit song “La Vida” at tonight’s live Results Show. J-Something confessed that bubbly Sheki Donnell (17) from Durban delivered his favourite performance in the Top 8 show and the voters agreed – Sheki was safe for the next Spectacular.

Idols judge Gareth Cliff said he could not make a prediction about the Bottom 3 based on his 5FM listeners.  “I’m getting the feeling there is no clear winner,” he commented. Unathi Msengana said her sense from her Metro FM listeners was that Dominic Neill had redeemed himself in the Top 8 Spectacular. But Randall Abrahams suspected that Dom would be in the Bottom 3 for a third time.

And he was right. For the third straight Results Show Dominic Neill (19) from Johannesburg found himself in the hot seat in the Bottom 3, and this week he was joined in the danger zone by Monde Msutwana (30) from Pretoria.

This week’s Top 7 Spectacular will be recorded at the Home Of Idols, the Mosaïek Teatro, on Friday, 24 August, and broadcast on M-Net, M-Net HD and Mzansi Magic at 17:30 on Sunday, 26 August.

Tickets are available from Computicket.
