When Idols coming back for season 19
All those judges.. I want to see their qualification from any musical school/institute.. They thought they are better… We want regime change.. Remove those judges pls.. They are wasting other kids talent…
Thembi Seete. She has always been my favorite celebrity.
All of them they are a balance. JR is a bit of an extreme hard can be u reasonably hard and unfair but for the most part is technical which brings a good balance. Somozi is a whole vibe which is entertaining, rounded abs likable while Thembi is an objective sweet heart making contestants feel at home while really also technically competent. It’s a perfect combo. They were all too hard on today’s white 29 year old boy though, it was too brutal, I felt a lack of understanding of his own cultural genre while I agree he wasn’t suitable, their comments were extremely u fair and nasty to him he may need to de-trauma/ but love all the judges…
JR Bogopa, My black brother i have been watching idols and observing how you conduct yourself when judging, stop been a jerk ass of favourism and be professional or resign and leave those who can do that job
JR BOGOPA
So glad to see back on the show.
