Last week, the remaining contestants competed for the top spot, with Mr Music singing Ngikhethe Kahle and Zama, Ndizobizwa.

Mr Music again impressed with Linda’s Ngamthanda Umuntu and Amu Faku’s Into Ingawe, while Zama impressed with Jennifer Hudson’s version of  A Change is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke and Mariah Carey’s Without You.

Mr Music is already trending ahead of the show as his supporters are convinced he will walk away with the prize.

Will it be Mr Music or Zama tonight?
