Idols SA 2021 will have a completely different composition for season 17
auditions.
The current status quo does not allow the show to do things the
traditional way. Therefore, to keep up with the spirit of staying apart so we
can be together again, the Idols auditions this year
will deviate from the culture of hosting auditions in four big
cities, namely Johannesburg, Pretoria, Durban and Cape Town.
For season 17, there is a positive aspect in the restrictions that come
with Covid-19. All eligible hopefuls from all corners of our country can enter
without worrying about getting to the audition’s venue.
However, there will be strict rules to adhere to in order
to have a successful submission for the SA Idols online auditions. The
video must be 30 seconds long of just singing. All other information
will have a part where it is catered for on the entry. It is important for the
participants to prepare their 30-second-long clip and all the relevant
information before they log on to submit their entry.
This
exciting new format gives people who could not get to the designated venues an
opportunity they have been dreaming of but could not access due to limited
resources.
The Online Auditions platform will open at 09:00 on Friday, 29 January and
close at 22:00 on Sunday, 14 February or when the show reaches the 15 000-entry
limit, whichever comes first.
Furthermore, the judging for the online
auditions will commence on 1 February and conclude on 1 March.
This new format encourages a greater variety of entries
and it will ensure that the show goes on despite the pandemic.
