The competition is heating up as the contenders vied for a spot in the Top 10 on Idols Season 15 on Sunday night.
Season 15 has come with some pretty interesting twists. For the first time in Idols history, there is Top 17 instead of Top 16.
And in two weeks’ time, seven contestants will be eliminated from the show.
The theme on Sunday was “Trending” which meant contestants had to sing songs that set social media ablaze in the past few years.
Strandfontein Village’s Louise Nicolls, 29, sang Without Me by Halsey.
“It was an amazing feeling to be live on Idols on Sunday. The hype of the make-up, wardrobe, hair and everything that went into getting ready for the show was breathtaking,
“This far, this experience was the most amazing thing for me.

“I felt that I needed to give my all and show people what I’m capable of doing, it was my opportunity to show SA how I can perform pop music in my way.”
But it was again Xola Toto, 21, from Delft, who stole the show. After her rendition of Black Coffee’s hit Come with Me, the judges were unanimous in their compliments, saying she exuded confidence and sang like a seasoned performer.
