Thousands of singer wannabes wanted it, 74 got golden tickets and now only five remain ahead of the Idols SA finale on November 27. And the remaining contestants - Lucia Jakeni, Tebogo Louw, Thami Shobede, Terra Cox and Noma Khumalo - are pulling out all the stops to ensure their fans vote for them.For Louw, 24, from Stellenbosch the strategy is to remain "humble".He has a lot to lose as it's his third attempt at the coveted title and this time he's certain he will win the ultimate prize."One can never know how to react. You're happy, people think you're arrogant, and when you're shy, people think you're boring."So I've been constant to keep them wondering about what's there for them," said Louw.Yesterday he said: "I told people I'm confident I am going to win Idols but I never said what year."And this year I feel like this is it."Louw vows that, once he's won the competition, people will see his "true potential"."There's so much at stake. We all want to win but the truth is there's only one winner."My strategy remains mine and if this doesn't work I will only have myself to blame."Those who know me, know that there's more to Tebogo than just a scared looking guy," Louw said...
