Idols SA Season 4 Voting Results

M-Net followed up on its promise to release the voting results for the entire Idols SA Season 4, verified by Alexander Forbes.

M-Net confirmed that Idols SA Season 4 was more successful than the previous three seasons, with a total of 17,960,686 votes cast over the entire season and an astonishing 7,803,990 votes cast during the grand finale week alone.

The Season 4 results which appear on this page are based on votes received from the public via SMS, landline, MXit, and on the Idols South Africa website, consolidated with the judges’ rankings.

The judges ranked the contestants directly after the recording of each Idols South Africa Spectacular on a Friday, and their votes were combined with the public votes when lines closed on Monday nights.

For Season 4, M-Net also made voting possible on the MXit platform for mobile phones and it had a very positive effect on voting volumes due to the sheer size of the audience already on their platform, 75% of the season’s votes were on MXit.

However, the high volume of MXit votes was not advantageous to any of the two finalists as only 6% separated them on MXit votes.

Jody had 53% of MXit votes and Andriëtte had 47% of MXit votes.

For the Group 1 episode (Top 12 boys), 560,915 votes were cast.

For the Group 2 episode (Top 12 girls), 632,475 votes were cast.

For the Top 14 show, 871,735 were cast.

For the Top 12 show, 778,847 were cast.

That brings the total votes just for just the Top 24 stage to 2,843,972.

10,156,696 votes were cast from the start of the Top 10 voting up until the voting lines closed for the Top 3 Results Show on 3 December.

A further 7,803,990 votes were cast during the Grand Finale week, bringing the total votes for Idols SA Season 4 to a spectacular 17,960,686 votes. That’s an impressive 75% improvement on the 10,232,283 votes cast across Season 3.
