The latest episode of Idols SA brought the beloved show closer to the end.

The final  Idols SA top 10 were unveiled in a live show that featured soulful and vibey performances.

The five ladies and five gents making up the season 19 top 10 are: Nkosi, Lungile, Faith, Sena, Niikiey, Envic, Princess, Thabo, Lungelo, and Thando.

Sadly this marked the end of the Idols SA journey for Neve and Sipho.

The top 10 each take home an impressive prize haul: R5,000 from Mzansi Magic; a Huawei Nova 11 smartphone and Huawei GT3 SE smart watch; a R2,000 beauty hamper from L’Oreal, and; R5,000 worth of fashion vouchers from Truworths.

The performances were themed "New kids on the block", which saw them perform the hottest hits from the newest and hottest artists.

Nkosi kicked off the top 10 show with Ami Faku’s Ubuhle Bakho, impressing the judges.

Somizi Mhlongo said: “You are a very simple guy but you have proven simplicity can be very effective.”

Wrapping up the show was Thando with a rendition of Lady Amar’s Hamba Juba to mixed reactions from the judges.

“Yes, it’s a competition and you’re trying to show vocal gymnastics, but it didn’t go as well as I would have loved it to,” said Somizi.

Idols SA announced the show is canned by taking to its Instagram timeline in February. 

“Have you heard the news? The upcoming #IdolsSA season 19 is the final one. Watch this space for updates about how to audition,” read the post. 

Idols SA airs on Saturdays at 6pm on Mzansi Magic (DStv Channel 161), and on Mzansi Wethu at 7.30pm
