Will you be the next SA Idols winner? Talent show announces auditon dates
Each season of Idols produces even more talented performers than the previous. Audition dates for season 15 have been announced and before entering the contest, it's not a bad idea to ask yourself: can you out-sing winners from the previous years?
Idols SA took to Twitter to publicise dates for upcoming auditions across the country.
The tryouts will begin in Johannesburg on January 26 and the last group of hopefuls will face the judging panel on March 2 in Cape Town.
Idols challenged singers to enter the competition and said: "We can't wait to see the bar raised even higher!"
Judges expect the contestants to bring their 'A' game and do better than the following previous winners, which will be no easy feat.

When the winner of the competition's season 14 was announced, Twitter went into overdrive.
Seventeen-year old Yanga Sobetwa was a favourite in the build-up to the final stages and social media gave her the thumbs up when she was crowned the winner.
