Meanwhile, multiple Grammy Award winner PJ Morton wowed the audience with a performance of his new single So Lonely, joined by rapper Maglero Doe Boy, later expressing his admiration for the abundant talent he witnessed. The international star also took on the mentorship role this week, guiding our Idols towards their finale aspirations.

Setting the tone for the evening, the Top 5 entranced audiences with their harmonious rendition of The Beatles' classic Come Together. This was followed by the Top 4 delivering two awe-inspiring performances each, first from a playlist handpicked by PJ Morton and later, channelling the romance filling our screens, with their renditions of iconic love songs.

TOP 4 WOW JUDGES Princess began with Erykah Badu's On & On, receiving standing ovations and praise across the board. Somizi ecstatically expressed, This performance was smooth and jazzy. You've won a fan in me. Her follow-up, Shayizandla by Naima Kay, resonated deeply, with JR Bogopa saying, You have given this song a rebirth.

Next was Nkosi who chose John Legend's timeless Ordinary People and, despite being urged to connect more with his audience, was praised for his growth. However, his interpretation of Ringo's classic Sondela brought mixed reviews, with JR saying, You had an opportunity for a home run there, but missed it.

Faith began with Musiq Soulchild's Love, inspiring Somizi to remind him of the looming finish line. Yet, his performance of Bekezela by Bekezela saw the return of Faith, with Thembi Seete happily commenting, This was amazing. Welcome back.
Thabo left the audience roaring with Prince's Kiss and received rave reviews for his second act, Ndinike Indawo by Jaziel Brothers. Somizi, thoroughly impressed, said, If there's one person that deserves to win this competition, it's you.
Unfortunately, Niikiey's impressive journey on the show came to an end.
With the finish line in sight, anticipation is soaring. Cassper Nyovest is scheduled to light up the stage in the upcoming shows, and PJ Morton will return for what promises to be a grand finale.
Idols SA airs every Saturday at 18:00 on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161).
