I dont think the judges should look at cute faces tonight, because there are real talent out there. Cleo should not be considered cause she still needs voice training.No-one will by her cd if they hear that voice, without seeing how cute she is. My vote goes to Kalon Badenhorst. Not because he\’s cute, but because I think he was born with talent.

There can only be one winner and that is Louwtjie - he is pure genius

George baby, make me proud, second is Darren.

DARREN, Definately. For him to dance the way he does without even hearing the music is mind blowing, his moves are to the beat & it amazes me.

Darren gets my vote. Awesum and talented kid. Second goes to Louwtjie.. SA def has talent!!!

I believe Marilyn comments are based on the culture, let me remind you that it doesn’t make sense what you say…let alone the talent. Tonight Willem and Louis Van Der Merwe will definitely rock the show, however the SA people empathy might spoil the fun. I have come to undrerstand that no only tonight is the night, the fate will determine the “SA” talent for sure. I wish all tonight, the best in their way to be winners of R250, 000-00 since eberyone cares of.

Darren is an amazing artist…besides his dancing abilities, to be able to synchronize with the music and not being able to hear it blows my mind…chloe is not a cute kid but her voice still has to develop…DARREN YOU HAVE MY VOTE!!!! MAKE US KZN PPL PROUD.

i would have to vote for Kalon Badenhorst, to have so much talent at such a young age…. absolutely amazing….
November 12th, 2009 at 2:15 pm
People of S.A.. Tonight you should vote with your heads,and not with your hearts.We want the best talent.
November 12th, 2009 at 3:07 pm
My vote has got nothing to do with culture,Sello. On Tuesday I voted for Umbambano because I thought they were very good. I couldn\\\\\\\’t understand what they were singing, but just listening to that voices were enough. That is talent.
