Tshidi voted out of Idols contest

House DJ Black Coffee and Tumelo opened the show

Thokoza's Tshidi Tenyane (29) failed to get enough votes to stay in the competition this week, and since the Judges' Save was no longer in play, she had to bid farewell to her Idols dream , organisers said in a statement.

House DJ Black Coffee and Tumelo opened the show to rousing applause, but the festive atmosphere didn't last long last night. There was serious business at hand and before long Idols host ProVerb had to start breaking the bad news.

Pro divided the Top 4 into the two duet pairings from this Sunday's Top 4 Spectacular: Monde and Tshidi, and Khaya and Melissa.

At this stage Randall thought Tshidi would be the one to go home, Gareth Cliff would not hazard a guess, and Unathi Msengana refused to predict on the record which contestant she thought was guaranteed a spot in the final.

Judge Randall Abrahams, the MD of Universal Music, who will sign the winner to a recording contract, said any one of the Top 4 would be a pleasure to work with. "They’ve been really good, consistent and hardworking," he said approvingly.
