‘Excellent job as a judge,’ Mzansi praises Idols SA judge JR Bogopa for his extraordinary judging skills

As usual, Idols, SA is trending after heralding its latest episode on Mzansi Magic Channel 161. The show announced their top 5 this night, and Mzansi was curious about who was going to kiss goodbye to Idols SA. Idols SA is becoming a tough competition as all the contestants are energetic performers with melodic voices. To help and nature the contestants are the judges’ JR, Thembi Seete and Somizi Mhlongo. The judges have played a significant role in nourishing the talents of Idols SA contestants. However, the new judge JR Bogopa has impressed Mzansi with his extraordinary judging skills. His craft can never go unnoticed as he is stealing the light from other judges with his professional judging prowess.

JR is doing an excellent job as a judge 👏🏾. He’s a musical genius. He knows exactly what he’s talking about, from technical to the do-re-mi-fas of the song. He’s perfect for this job #idolssa pic.twitter.com/n2mjHl43HM

JR Bogopa is a man of few words, but when he judges, he details the technical skills the contestants need to apply to win. Twitterati posted:

Other Idols SA viewers came to the post to acknowledge that JR Bogopa understood his assignment as a judge and is doing wonders. Mzansi compared him to former Idols SA judge Randal who was also a master of his craft. However, it’s hard to compare JR Bogopa to Randall Abrahams, as he is still a newcomer in the world of judging. He is a stranger to the judges’ chair and needs to gain rich experience before Mzansi raises comparisons against him and Randall.

JR Bogopa on finding his spot on Idols SA

When Idols SA introduced a new set of judges for season 18, many thought JR would not replace Randall perfectly. After Idols SA aired its first episode for Season 18, the show was topping the trends on social media as Mzansi demanded Randall back and accused JR Bogopa of being too soft.

JR was still trying to find his spot as a unique Idols SA judge, and we can all agree that he has found his mark and is doing his job excellently. He is an excellent judge who takes his career seriously without taking sides.

Three Times JR proved he was the judge that Mzansi signed up for

1. His comment to Nozi when everyone thought she did her best.

Nozi relies a lot on high notes, she’s starting to become too predictable and a bit stagnant.

2. JR’s comment to Thapelo after he performed with Joyous Celebration

This is your calling, this is the music genre that you’re going to use to make money. Gospel is your thing

3. His  comment to Ty Loner when he performed his one rendition of Locked Out Of Heaven by Bruno Mars

        You really took charge of that performance! Flawlessly
