My Star: Kagiso Survives By A Whisker - Again

Botswana's decisions always come as a shockwhen it comes to voting for My Star contestants, something which might see the popular show producing below par winners, and as a result reducing its chance of unearthing the best talent the country has to offer.

It becomes a question of do we vote for talent or we simply vote for the one we love, because if it was talent, Kagiso would be the one heading towards the grand finale rather than always being at the bottom and having to battle for a spot.For many reasons I find Kagiso a well-rounded performer and a likely ally to other contestants in the competition which should give him a chance to win the competition.But this might not happen by the look of things because he seems to be getting less votes each week, forcing him to miss the exist door just by a whisker.
He has for the past weeks given sterling performances and according to the judges is one contestant who is good in song writing and mastering, which should be a bonus towards putting him ahead of his counterparts, but it is often by a whisker that he manages to get one more shot in the competition, a thing that sometimes pushes him to perform better than the rest of the team. Yet another week he still finds himself at the bottom.

For many who watch the show on television or visit it at its weekly premier location, if at all they know what talent is, they would agree that it is amazing how Kagiso often finds himself having to battle for a place in the competition when he should be the one leading the pack.Without the judges' input Kagiso would have long gone by now despite having the talent to go all the way or even to win the competition and on Friday it was no different, as he impressed the judges with his task song after they saved him from elimination.
