Idols East Africa

Well well well, to prove that an idol mind is the Devil's Workshop, Kenyans thronged to the Kenyatta International Conference Centre and tried their best (or worst, in most cases) to show case their talent (or lack of it).

This picture post brings you the images that put smiles on Kenyan watchers of the idiot box and made April the funniest month in the year (cabinet naming coming a close second)!



The rendition of 'Try It On My Own' brought the Conference down. She should have been afraid to really try this one on her own.


Lebo wasn't impressed. But the show must go on.


David begged but was shown the door


Behind every could, there is a sylvia lining, not!


Linda wanted you... and you... and you


She left on the upswing


Bob looked out of place


Baker wanted to show off his dental formula


Bertina's voice let her down


Ken was complimented on his style but... nothing else


Katung's voice was designed for this competition


And this is Akorino Idols...


Amazing Grace? No. Amazing Maureen.


Irene boasted she had the beauty...


She had a beautiful voice


Gail got up and stoop up for his rights. Oh so wrong!


Yup! Yup! Yup!


Zaddock didn't even get 15 seconds of shame


Joel James? That is like Jeff Anthony?


Magero just wasn't being felt...


Just why wear Delilah's clothes and wig?


Kevin noticed Angie smiling for the cameras


Or was she smiling for the money?


Clearly this is how you change the world!!!


Now you see my eyes...


Now you don't!


New York Minute!


Cilla made the cut


Tutuma did not


Doris breezed through.

That was it for the edited version. But I could not resist bringing the uncut version pics.

And some advice for those who wish to make the cut next time.


Show some nipples...


And keep smiling.


Show some ATT


Show some hair...


Show some...


... ass


Show some smile


Show your memory size


Play your guitar


And sing beautifully...

End of Lesson

Moving on...


No comment


Is she an Air Hostess?


Isn't she my son's teacher?


Is she singing 'Kwaheri' by Jua Cali?


Is she looking for the exit?


If shoes could sing...


... she would have gone through


Shoes or no shoes, he went through


Good pose


Good top


Good hat


Good try


Very likeable


Very happy


Mbili Mbili Kama Kawaida...


Please Forgive Me...


Style


And more style


And less style, Stevie Wonder!


My top matches the background!


On no...


OH NO!!!


Oh oh


Much better


If your hat is not in it...


... let your soul be in it!


We wrap it up with our national anthem. Altogether now:
Eh Mungu Nguvu Yetu
Ilete Idols kwetu
Haki tulicheka sana...
