Historic first for Idols!For the first time ever in its seven-season history, Idols is holding auditions in Soweto this weekend. Auditions will take place at the Dobsonville stadium on Saturday, 26 March, and those talented performers who make it through the first round of auditions will be called back for another round on Sunday, 27 March.
“It’s the first time ever that Idols is going to any township, let alone the biggest township in South Africa, so the question is, do you want to be a part of history?” says Idols judge Unathi Msengana. “Don’t sleep on your dreams,” she cautions. “Imagine if our next Idol comes from right under our nose in Dobsonville!”
Gauteng auditions continue over the first weekend in April, with the final auditions for Idols Season 7 being held at Montecasino in Johannesburg.
The crème de la crème of the Soweto auditions will go straight through to the Montecasino auditions the following week to sing for the formidable Idols judging panel of Randall Abrahams, Gareth Cliff and Unathi Msengana and special celebrity guest judge, HHP.
These two Gauteng audition sessions are the final auditions for Idols Season 7, after a countrywide audition tour that took in Cape Town, Durban, and in another historic first, Polokwane.
So far 64 Golden Tickets have been handed out for the grueling Theatre Phase of the competition at Sun City next month. Does Gauteng have what it takes to match the impressive numbers tallied up in the other cities?
