South Africa Idols Judge Leaves South Africa

5 May

So Idols is no more? Just as winner Sasha-Lee Davids enthuses about her new career, the show seems to be falling apart, haveing barely made it through this current season.

Idols Judge, portrayed as this super talent spotting mogul for Sony BMG was actually unemployed?

Beeld reports that the FORMER Idols judge Dave Thompson is unemployed and has left South Africa.

Dave Thompson, was the marketing director at Sony BMG and has now emigrated to Australia.

Helen Smit, the head of M-Net’s local production, said if there was another season of Idols, Thompson would have to be replaced.

Beeld was informed that Thompson wanted to emigrate to Australia sooner and he would initially only have appeared in the first auditions.

He then stayed until the end of the series and left for Australia the day after the last episode.

Seems to me like rats from a sinking ship. Whens Mara leaving?

    Eish….Dave's one of many who have chosen that route – Good luck to him.

    No wonder Dave seemed so disinterested. You could sense he was just going through the motions

    Good riddance to BAD RUBBISH. This whole thing with the joint winners has just matters worse. If Jason won by 1 vote or 1 million votes he still won!!! What a crock of crap, I am so happy this show is on the edge of getting canned. Good on Dave for leaving, I wouldn't want to associated with anything as fubar as this.

    My opinion on this whole saga is that Sasha -Lee should relinquish her title and let Jason be the only winner of Idols. He is definitely idol quality – with such a beautiful voice and an Idols look. If she is traumatised – that is her problem – she must accept that she is not the Idol and won it thus far by a huge mistake of 200 000 votes. Wow! – that is quite some winning. Good for you Jason. We love you in Port Elizabeth.

    Hopefully if there is another Idols – this mistake will never happen again – the first in the history of Idols world-wide!!!
