TK,what is your recording label called again? dude you clearly dont know what you want and what a good singer sounds like.

Angela,ohh my God!!!you are definitely at the wrong place i need to know the criteria they use to select judges.

Scar,you are deef my brother,maybe thats why you'r a rapper .Stop trying to be Simon cause you look pathetic.Half of the things you say dont make sense and my little bro think you can learn a thing or 2 from our own HHP.

Hi all Idols fans, read Idols fans, not judges. Commenting on the judges : Angie, beautiful and probably the only music expert. T.K. I dont know of any great Zambian producer. You like a puppy behind Angie, when she says yes you also say yes, toka wena. The man from Botswana, come on, since when can a rapper sing or have a ear for melody and music??? There is so many music talent and judges in Africa, why take a rapper? Scar or whatever your name is, go back to Gabs and rap at the university, dont make beautiful Botswana's name bad. Angie, i like your Swahili and your manners, but then ,all Kenyans are well mannerd people. By the way, i am white, but i luv African talent and sponsor some people in West Africa. Angie, nakupenda sana. Take care. PP

What was the name of the guy with a big scar on the side of his face again??? Did I hear SCAR? The guy sucks!what does he really know about good music and by the way anybody can rap.

Will someone pls tell me, why people must sing in English to become idols; Arent Africans proud of their heritage? Music started in Africa. Its funny that to become an idol you must sing like Celine Dion, Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross! How about singing like Miriam Makeba, Franco, Papa Wemba, Kofi Olomide or even Fadhili Williams!!! I think we are lost!

The 3 Judges are a bunch of ignorant,arrogant and rude novices in music! Who picked them???? Angie is a radio presenter who didnt even study radio presentation and music! TK simply owns a music enterprise and does not appreciate African music no wonder Zimbabwe has nothing to offer in the music scene. This guy should be on the forefront promoting Zimbabwean music! as for SCAR, I have no words he should have stayed at home, no wonder he thought they were jinxed in Malawi! Gosh! its annoying.

Bet you are the experts,who sit on the side lines and bring poeple down, yet you have no clue in the music industry whatsoever. I can bet a million dollars you can do a crappy job as a jugde on idols

the judges i think they are cool. Angela is too polite and sometimes she does'nt trust her own judgement,TK is cool but his judgment is not always good. Scar! well he is hash but i just love his judgement. he is the best, most of the times Angela makes Scar look as if he does'nt know what he is doing but his judgement is the best. he should never doubt himself. I mean realy from Kenya! what kind of a judge will one get, those poeple can'nt sing so everything sounds good to Angela. Scar is the guy and the judge. without his coments, i wonts enjoy idols.

the stupid idiot who says that kenyans acant sing should first of all tell us what she can do. why dont you just comment on angela if that is your beef with her and stop including the rest of us you must be extremely stupid or uneducated to make such a comment!!!! and in my opinion the judges are fine considering what they have to work with, i mean our brothwers and sisters are good but i have an issue with the fact that they have to sing in english it really is not fair. we are african and we should embrace that!!!

Well from what i have seen so far, this east african judges are the worst judges i have ever seen in the idols competition worldwide.They actually do not know anything about music especially TK and Scar. I wonder what criteria they used in selecting this judges. They are really inexperienced and have an extremely bad way of analysing music. Personally, i feel Scar is extremely rude and arrogant and should be cautious of the fact that he's been watched worldwide. i really think TK and Scar especially should not be signed up for the next east/south african idols.Judges that are very good analysers like dede, nana and dan foster of west african idols and also people like simon, randy and paula of american idols should be sought for. I am an expert in analysing music and i can tell that TK and Scar really do not know what they are doing. Please change them. Africa should not be disgraced.

I must commend all the 3 Judges of the Idols East & north Africa cos i think they are doing a good job so far. I love Scar ! Ur doin well, and Angie..i think ur pretty, and intelligent. However, i was not pleased with the judges decision on the Twin Boys who were auditioned together. No two contestants should be auditioned together, whether they are twins or not. I think they are seperate individuals and should be treated that way.This was the reason why the judges had a basis for comparism.I believe if the boys had seperate auditions, his brother would have made it as well. Angie's decision of having both boys in, was the right one ! Go Girl ! From Sotonye Charles, PortHarcourt Nigeria.

Well,I think the judges are cool.Lets hope that they are fair in judgement.Judges,why can't you let guys be who they are rather than ,making them emulate other musicians?? Angie,you're cool but sometimes your judgement comes from contestants looks,what they wear ,rather than their actual perfomance. Scar,man you're doing a great job,though you're too mean in your statements.Actually to an extent of being rude.This is a competition and not a prison camp!watch out what comes from your mouth coz at times...it's really off!Generally,i like you coz you show some real talent when it comes to judgement.Big up bro. Tk,oh..i like you coz you make me laugh.

Hey! i think Lusaka has got a lot of talent, but our judges kind of looked for a ready made idol there, if i could i will take Tanzanian golden tickets and give them to those Lusaka people, and yes the twin judgement was'nt faer at all. Besides that the judges are still cool, but i wish Angela could stop degrading Scar's judgement because she's making it hard for him to judge hornestly and yet his judgement is the best living aside his hash comments. Scar you rock. Never doubt your judgement and forget about Angela.

P.S: pls,nobody should blame Scar,lets blame the Stupid people that chose him to be a judge.how on earth would U choose pple dat dont know shit about music.k,can someone please tell me if Scar can tell the difference b/w pitch,key or loudness,...well,d answer is NO!!!!!!! and they used him as a judge.damn!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanna say the people incharge of pickn dese judges are very stupid.The competition is meant for people below thirty and none of the people there is above thrity. o.k,lemme analyse it: Randy Jackson - ios an accoplished music producer. Simon-an accomplished radio personality. Paula Abdul-A legend when it comes to music in America. ALL HAVE BEEN THERE FOR CLOSE TO 3 DECADES,IF NOT MORE

let's come to West Africa: Dede-an all round entertainer:music,drama,evrything. Nana:A legend in Ghana... Dan Foster: U cannot mention anybody on radio without mentioning Dan Foster in Nigeria,its just impossible. All these people are legends in their own way.

Its a miracle for Africa to ever be where America is,when we have the opportunity,we should make the best use of it,not just be mediocres.

If the criteria was awards,why dint we use: 2face(first African to win an mtv award),D'Banj,and other young lads,who have won Mtv awards.BUT THEY ARE NOT LEGENDS AND DEFIONITELY DO NOT HAVE THE RESPECT REQUIRED TO BE THE JUDGE.AND MUSIC IS NO MORE AS IT USED TO BE,NOW EVERY MEDIOCRE CAN SING AND MAKE MILLIONS(e.g Scar)..see

Am nt from U guys side,but I klnow of some1 like Yvonne Chakachaka,why dint U use someone of that calibre,U are tryna say the old ones are fools or what.U guys suck big time.

I AM POLITELY SAYING FUCK YOU TO ALL THOSE THAT CHOSE TO PUBLICLY DISGRACE AFRICA BY PICKING MEDIOCRES AS JUDGES. THANK YOU...

I love the Idols show. I love Angie, she is reasonable and very encouraging. Keep it up sweetie. As for Scar, I think although harsh, he is also quite reasonable. TK....... I feel he is over critical and most of the times does not realize talent when he 'hears' it! All in all, I think the East Africans are not as well endowed musically as their West African counterparts (West African Idols). There is lack of good talent so far and there are alot of embarrassingly primitive/bad looking people coming for auditions. I wish everyone all the best.

oh, one more thing. I feel that some of the people who have gotten golden tickets did not deserve them. E.g. the girl who wore two different long earings and something on her head. She sucked!!!!!

I dnt even know where to start with idols.....

TK: who is this guy? Im from SA so maybe im just ignorant! Angie: if she is not kissing Scar she is commenting on the untalented people's clothes,shoes,legs,eyes,hair..need i say more?! Scar: I mean the guy is a rapper! what on earth does he know about singing? He raps, as in...make rhymes! The guy is honest and all but they should have gotten professionals who know what voice control & off key is. But then again maybe the producers new that east africans are peeps who cant sing to save their lives! Have you eva seen an idol show without a top 100?they only came to 65! And the judges keep telling the other hopefuls that the bar is raised so high...who raised that bar because i have just heard people who are average!? But its not all bad, at least the show has provided me with a lot of laughs...some people cant sing for shit!

Generally, those who cried mayb they deserved a chance to sing. Those of who were turned down (very many of them) by Scar mostly, they deserved it but not the bad comments that came after.i think Scar is ok for shortlisting candidates , he is blunt and thats gud but he showed tone down a little.

Angie, radio personality i dont know jus becoz she plays music on radio who is she to judge a gud singer. TK has no comments of his own. wat makes Scar think he can judge a singer, he raps for crying out loud wat does he know about melody??

Can somebody save us from the painful experience known as Idols East and West Africa! Gosh it has never been so gross. It’s bad enough watching some of the contestants wail, murmur and do everything but really sing; however the real pain is watching such inept judges utter rubbish day to day. If only they make constructive criticisms that have to with the songs. How can any one take them seriously when they cannot even be analytical apart from asking almost every one to sing “I will always love you”- Whitney Houston. Must everyone have the same tone, must they all sing soprano? What a shame!

If only they could be humble about being so mediocre. No! They go one to make fun of people when they themselves are so below average! True, there is a lack of good talent in the region but those in glass houses should not throw stones.

So far it’s only Angie that makes some sense. A case of in the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king. Scar is rude and deaf quite alright but who gave him the right to run people down the way he does? If he was to stick with critiquing the songs, it would be fine but then he goes on to talk about their lives. None of your business, boy! Besides, no one has ever heard about you and you are clueless. I won’t dignify TK with a comment here. Please don’t tell me these are the judges to judge the entire contest Please? Is somebody sleeping?

NB: I hope the judges will read this?

Anela is doing a good job as a judge. I urge her to continue. I do NOT agree with those that said she is not suppose to be amonge the judges because she is not a musicain. TK, Scar and Angela are doing good work.

My advise for Trinah is that she should not be carried alway by Eric love. Love can wait after the context, the contact is already established. This is the time to concertrate. I am one of you fan; keep doing the good work.
