Mpilwenhle was the first one to get a chance to show her fans that they should vote for her. She belted Khusela by Kabza De Small featuring Msaki and Somizi gave her a glowing review after the audience chanted her name.

One, you are artistically intelligent. Two, you are a musical genius. Three, whether you win this competition or you don't, whenever you get into the studio and you have a producer. Make sure that you contribute to the song writing because a vocalist like yourself needs to be honest and what you've just done now was just honesty, Somizi said.
Somizi further said that she must not let any producer take away her honesty and uniqueness. If she is to work with a producer they must collaborate, you are what South Africa is waiting for .

Fellow judge JR Afrika said Mpilo, as she is fondly known is really good at what she does.

THAPELO FUMBLES SEASONS ON IDOLS SA The third contestant to make it through was Thapelo after Ty Loner performed Selema (Po Po) by Musa Keys and Loui. As usual, Thapelo's name was chanted for a solid minute after he tackled Lloyiso's Seasons but the judges felt a bit different from the audience.
--
JR felt that he took too long to connect with the song. Somizi said that because he has never heard the song before, he can assume that he sang the hit song better than the original.
