She is not a performer – Jerusalema vocalist Nomcebo Zikode disappoints Fans

She is not a performer – Jerusalema vocalist Nomcebo Zikode disappoints Fans! Jerusalema star Nomcebo Zikode’s performance at the grand finale of season 16 of Idols SA on Sunday seems to have underwhelmed and disappointed fans.

The finale which took place in Pretoria at the State Theatre was won by 18-year-old Zama Khumalo from Mpumalanga. The star-studded show featured performances from Cassper Nyovest, DJ Zinhle, and Nomcebo Zikode.

However, it was Nomcebo’s performance that attracted attention, and not for all the right reasons. Some of the fans were disappointed by the vocalist’s performance and opined that while she is a great singer, she is not a great live performer. Others said that the Nomcebo’s sound engineer should have changed the song key from the studio version to one for live performances.

Some viewers were more critical and accused the musician of lip-syncing her own song. However, not all the comments were negative. Some fans defended the musician saying that ‘Jerusalema’ has a slow tempo and that people should not expect an energetic performance when the song is being played.

Below are some of the comments from social media:

Thanday Ma’Keabetswe Mamakhe Mabona wrote: “She’s a great singer but live performance showed her flames”

Thato Sydwell Mogotsi said: “Nomcebo should know that as a singer your sound engineers must change the song key for live performances. Key shouldn’t be the same as the one from the studio version, I mean she sounded weird like she couldn’t catch the key. Haven’t they learned anything from Beyoncé”

Siphesihle BG said: “Live performances will humble you shem 😂”
