None of our idols seem to go anywhere though ... maybe a year or two tops of activity - and then they just fade away. Beyond Karen Nortje and Heinz Winkler I can't remember any of them.

And Karen I only remember because of all that fuss that was kicked up about her boyfriend's escapades.

That is a strange statement from her as I have tended to regard her usual opinions as being biased by race and sex.

I remember Anke, but the last I heard she was singing at a bar/club in Blouberg in Ct.

Heinz is the only one you hear about nowadays. He's an actor in Binnelanders as well.

Oh, Jacques also has a few singles playing on 5fm at the moment. And that one idol is pretty big in the Afrikaans music scene - can't remember his name.

Heinze for me is the best idol, he had a few albums and to be honest had a 3 or 4 really good songs.

Pop Idols has no relevance in South Africa when more than two thirds of the population have never heard of any of them/

I really think Winkller is a great performer, he sings well but yet he also has a great presence.

I only watch Idols for the first stages when idiots try-out. Don't those people have caring family and friends who could stop them from humiliating themselves on TV? Once it gets to the stage stuff and the finals then i switch off.

Last's years was unbelievably painful, why they're even doing it again I dunno. SA pop isn't even viable unless you're really really huge.

apparently this year they'll be allowing singers to audition while playing their own instrument (if they can play)

Apparently a bunch of them have already shot themselves in the foot while trying that - some of the ones who could sing, sucked at playing ... and then there are those few who can't sing or play ... :D
