Idols South Africa auditions will be held once again in Port Elizabeth following intensive lobbying on behalf of local artists by Algoa FM.
“Two years ago we spent many hours lobbying hard to bring the Idols auditions back to Port Elizabeth. It was such a success that we are happy to announce that the Idols judging team will be back in Port Elizabeth this year,” says Marketing Manager of Algoa FM, Toinette Koumpan.
The auditions for entry into the eleventh season of the popular M-Net and Mzansi Magic Idols SA will be taking place at the Boardwalk’s Amphitheatre on Tuesday, March 3 from nine thirty in the morning.
Judges for the first round of auditions will be Algoa FM presenter Charl Leslie and KayCee Rossouw, Director of Two Tone Music, Ulagh Williams, and Managing Director of Radio Active Productions Publishing Bronwen Nel.
“Make sure you get to the Boardwalk early if you think you got what it takes to be the next South African Idols winner says Koumpan.
The second round, which will consist of 70 contestants chosen by the judges, will take place on Wednesday, March 4 from nine in the morning in the Boardwalk International Convention Centre.
“Only three of the 70 contestants will go off to Johannesburg to show the rest of the country what we already know – that the Eastern Cape has talent,” says Koumpan.
Those who make it through to the second round will be judged by Algoa FM Presenter Mio Khondleka, Idols SA Voice Coach Malie Kelly, Idols SA producer Anneke De Ridder and Lani Lombard HOD for their Publicity and Special Projects.
In the past years Port Elizabeth’s very own Christina Williams made it to the top six of the 2013 M-Net Idols competition and the year before that Melissa Allison was the season eight runner up.
“If you think you have what it takes to be the season eleven M-Net Idols winner then be sure to be at the auditions on Thursday,” says Koumpan.
