Clemour continues to rise

 

On Sunday, the 24-year-old Limpopo star, Clement “Clemour” Ngobeni, put in one of the most powerful performances yet during the first live television broadcast of The Voice South Africa.

The young man from Waterval blew away the competition judges and the audience with his brilliant rendition of the Joan Osborne song, One of Us. The song was a fitting choice for the artist who grew up singing gospel music. In a very brave and bold move he added his own identity to the song, transforming it into a powerful message.

Clemour is currently studying Film and Television at the University of Johannesburg. He was invited to enter for the competition and in the first round competed against hundreds of other artists. During the blind auditions he managed to get three of the four judges to turn for him. He chose the Parlotones' frontman, Kahn Morbee, to be his coach.

A few weeks ago he passed with flying colours during the “sing-off” stage of the competition. He literally roared with enthusiasm while he performed Katy Perry’s song Roar. Clemour describes his style as a “mash-up of electro-blues” and he feels he brings along “a different feel in South African music”.

During Sunday’s live performance, Clemour did not disappoint. In this part of the competition, each coach has four artists performing and then selects one to “save”. The remaining three need to rely on votes from their fans to proceed to the next round.

Coach Morbee commended Clemour and said that “listening to Clemour's big powerful voice is like a reminder of singers from yesteryear.” Unfortunately for Clemour, he did not get a “free ticket” to the next round and now has to put his trust in the fans to help him go forward.

The voting ends on Thursday night (21st) at 22:00 and fans have three ways in which they can vote. The easiest way is to SMS Clemour’s unique number (09) to 33692. Fans can also download the WeChat app on their phones. Simply add the ID mnettv and vote up to 100 times for free. The final option is to register on the website, http://thevoicesa.dstv.com/ and vote. Users can also vote 100 times and registration is free.
