Idols
30/08/2007 12:42
I thought this guy was a fake.Nobody would be stupid enough to want rejection & be insulted again & again without being paid for it.I'll be glad if it is the death knell for Idols,most real artists have never made a start to their careers through cheap talent shows. - lily-white |

Not surprised.
30/08/2007 12:58
I thought that the whole Cliff Jennings phenomenon was too bizarre and too weird to be true. This is yet another annoyance regarding Idols that makes me even more passionate about wanting to see the end of that stupid show. It still surprises me how many ppl are keen to become an 'idol'. Try achieving that success on ur own, all you would be idols. It'll be far more rewarding+the public will respect you more. - Ca55 |

I was kinda expecting this....
30/08/2007 12:59
When I saw this guy appearing at the Margate auditions I thought to myself there's something not lekker here. But I've always wondered, how many of those really pathetic contestants are also fakes? I mean surely nobody THAT bad will think they stand a chance of making it? I think the worst of the worse was planted there to spice up the show (and goodness we need it with those pathetic judges of ours - we need to bring in the judges from American Idols methinks). - J.O |

I can not believe how desperate some ppl have become for ratings. this is a disgrace. I do have one questions tho. Were the crazy guys from cape town for real? They were hillarous!!! They should make a reality show about them! Now there's a good idea. - Fransie |

The judges has his number long ago.Every pack has it's quota of jokers-Idols just appears to have more than it's fair share.This should not detract from what all the other role players are achieving. - Andy |

Guys, loosen up a bit.
Entertainment! Mean anything to you?
Of course there will be "planted" singers... remember that all contestants have to be "pre-judged" before they get to be on TV. How boring would this be if they were all genuine singers?
I love the show! - Dave |

Cliff the Fake
30/08/2007 13:10
Good to hear that. Because really the behaviour of the judges sucked. Regardless of what this person "Cliff" did, they should still behave in a professional way, and really, Randall's VARNISH came off with "Cliff". Also though Mara was rude when she didn't want to shake another contestant's hand. What is in a handshake? Is she too important? - Bolero |

Fake
30/08/2007 13:12
what about the guy with the pieces of paper he tried to sing from, Christopher or something? Totally 'out of it'. I also believe there are more fakes than we think. They will do everything to make money. Unfortunately it IS an opportunity for someone to get somewhere in the music industry, look what Heinz achieved after Idols! - Benny |

It was obvious right from the outset that the Guy was a fake... Like Randall's Rudeness, also Faked(There has to be a South African Equivilant of Simon Cowell to make the show work)... makes you wonder tho how "real" the Audience votes/choice is at the end of the show... Do the public "really" choose the idol or is that faked too? - Mony -Mony |

Idols!
30/08/2007 13:33
Contestants should be screened and only the top 100 should be shown to the public. They throw the whole kitchen sink and dirty laundry at the viewing public which causes quite a stir with all the humiliation and derogatory remarks that go with it. Shame on the producers. Mara cannot think for herself but has to rely on Daves opinion all the time before commenting. How sad is that. Randall thinks he is Fabio and Gareth just cannot keep still. - Bhengu |

Fake Judges
30/08/2007 13:34
I think the producers are planting fakes out of desperation. Let's be honest, with that panel of judges, ratings will be going nowhere. That Randall guy is the biggest fake of them all! What a loser. Surely in a 46 million population we can do better than that selection of judges? - Stu |

What a joke!
30/08/2007 13:36
Well, i could have told you long time ago MNET were desperate for ratings. Big Brother, Idols and now survivor. These arent unique shows, so dont require much effort and they will make alot of money off them. But this latest stint comfirms it and seriously hurts their credibility. - Brad S |

Idols is a braindead programme with braindead judges and braindead contestants. This is the final straw for me. - JJ |

i must admit, the show has been entertaining thus far, and im really rooting for the little girl from cape town who's dad let her through. What a voice! I dont think this show should be cut. look at how successful heinze is, he even has his own canned foods. now that something to chew on :) LOL - Fransie |

Reality programs...
30/08/2007 13:42
...are for people who don't live. In all honesty I didn't even know idols was showing. I have better things to do with my time than listen to adverts on the radio and watch adverts on the tv. Try going outside and doing something fun! - Dillon |

which cliff?
30/08/2007 13:51
I'd recommend any of the above commentators to Ben Elton's "Chart-throb." It's a novel based on the British "Idols" and it's not meant to be taken TOOO seriously. But it gives some idea of the manipulation that takes place behind the scenes in a so-called "reality" show. Personally, I reckon "Cliff" deserves every penny he gets for the humiliation - and if Idols themselves didn't think him up, they should have done! - jeremy |

30/08/2007 13:59
I love the judges and their comments that's why I watch the show
(need a good laugh)there are plenty of fakes including the judges personalities but that makes the show and if people don't like it don't watch the show that's why we have freedom of choice and various channels and the best is it gives opportunties to people what's wrong with that.

30/08/2007 14:03
anyway, who gives a toss? Idols is entertaining, well at least when you are high on flu fever and medication, wasting your time away on sick-leave. Have not watched it since.
It is better than watching parliament TV... - Antelope |

Go Cliff Go!!
30/08/2007 14:07
When I saw Cliff turning up at the Margate auditions...once again? I knew this was a joke. But I thought it was a very clever joke and that he's awesome!!! I love watching the Idols auditions and have seen bigger losers that think they can sing and really make it...honestly don't they have any friends???? I wish Cliff's secret identity could have stayed secret just a little bit longer...he was really getting to the judges, and it was fun to watch Randall nearly burst a vein. - Willa |

This Cliff "hanger"
30/08/2007 14:10
I think they all received a pay-off to put this stupid guy on the TV.
The show has really taken a dive.... and the shameless exploiting of the obviously inept.To let them just go on and on making utter fools of themselves. Not funny. Shame on you Idols judges. You are looking for talent are you not. How did these people get thru the initial screening process? To give you a cheap laugh? Where's your pride? - Alicia |

So what if he is a fake? Is he any different from those people that walk in there with superman suites and all sort of weird getups just to get attention?

Now that someone has mentioned "Egoli"...did'nt you notice? It's slowly grinding to a halt. There are more flashbacks than present day stories. Honestly, I sit there, to rest after a day at work, go and have a look at my food, and when I get back, I don't have a clue in which year, storyline, or even century I am. I am not young anymore. I am worried about losing my marbles. Please stop Egoli all together. It's a travesty. - Alicia |
