We love you Keziah and Peniel❤❤ don't listen to the judges... You have a great voice don't stop singing
@@AmandaKay-in2rw exactly
Thank you ❤️
Never stop please..
they sound good
Bring back peniel otherwise this show wont be competitive
The guy is an icon
Lets vote here to disqualify those judges from the next round
@@MICapitals I agree! They are so unprofessional. Kazadi needs to watch AGT or BGT Simon cowell is the boss among the other judges but respects the other judges opinions. Kazadi is so rude and unprofessional
Please please please encouraging the participants will build them 😢
Kazadi we love you 😍 but please be more accommodating to the artists and fellow judges.
I'm in it
@@KalungaBwalya
IKR, I don't get why there has to always be that one rude judge for no reason.
I honestly think the whole rude judge is 2003, I don't get it.
Get a judge thats an actual rapper in Zambia to be able to judge the rappers correctly. You should’ve gotten Macky 2 or something
U are right.. thats what they do in any talent show. you bring a rapper judge and singer judge..
Yeah
I think Kazadi knows it all!🤣🤣 Even if a well-established rapper were brought in as a judge, I'm certain Kazadi would end up arguing with them, just like he does with Kidst. It almost feels like the competition is more about a judge's ego than the actual singers. As a former music producer and composer, I believe only Ballard has a good ear for music and notes. But it seems no one can challenge the Boss. Yabaaa🤣🤣🤣🤣 The hardest person to convince is someone who believes they are always right and know more than others. Regarding the competition, I firmly believe Peniel is far too talented for this small contest.
Thank you for speaking my mind 😊
Salute @@kaspachessofficial
I hope to see macky 2 on the road as one of the judges cause mahn in as much as they are courageous enough to sing the comments and how they're reacting can kill someone's spirit to sing or rap
Overall it's a good competition just not getting on the judging part😓
There’s no need for the unnecessary rudeness from Kazadi. Let’s not make the people feel inferior
@@tiongekanche4121 exactly! It’s unnecessary. He’s so rude even to his fellow judges. He’s coming off as being condescending and mean and making the show hard to watch.
You're right.Their laughing is so so annoying
Imagine.....the gee is too rude nd kaya che ati ba judgev
@@user-fl5xy6nn6bevery annoying
Kazadi can't change,Ali kula kale icipuba
Come on Zambia, we are watching but the judges are disappointing. Love from 🇿🇦
Very much disappointing, they don't know how to motivate people
😂😂😂😂
It's sad that even someone whose not Zambian can see that the judges are so disappointing and rude even though they call it truth
Keziah. If you see this comment, this us a yes from me. Forget ba dresscode and 22years. You're a star
THank you
She really is a star
Keziah nailed it..That's talent right there
Thank you
Absolutely right these guys Bena kazadi are what I call perfectionist mentally plus know it all when a person has talent what comes next is to perfect it so that it's refined not to start roasting a person and make them feel worthless awe well done keziah you got talent..👍
Please u should pick cleo and mag 44 to be the judges or macky 2
Yes
Yes yes
Kidist should relax it's not about how one looks it's about what they're able to bring out....we all come from different walks of life....she was there to judge her voice not her outfit 🙄😒
Kazadi ull never be Simon from AGT so stop the sarcasm.ba kidist naimwe mind how you comment these are human beings with feelings too.i love how mr Ballard and mr mwewa are handling things,with maturity and sense of humor.
Thank 🤌
Someone had to say it
Thanks you for this comment, very unnecessary from him
It's the first time i'm commenting on a RUclips video in years and I'm still finishing the episode. But nah Kazadi and Kiddist you guys need to be called out on how you did Keziah. If this show is about talent then let it be about talent, the last judge was right, she hit all the right notes and she is very talented, it doesn't matter how she dressed or whatever. Y'all missed the mark on that one. Let's rate based off talent, thats a more fair way of doing this. So many people may not be privileged or able to do the aesthetics in Zambia and y'all should understand that local dynamic. I don't think I'm the only one feeling like this.
Keziar has an angelic voice❤ this just broke my heart... why judge someone by the looks?
My thought too
Thank you
Imagine aai useless kiddist
keep hope alive, you have the voice and talent. Much love girl❤
@@prudencekakumba801 These guys are the worst judges I've ever seen
The judges need to ton it down a bit. Kazadi is demarketing himself and the show. The judges lack approachability, feel unrelatable to their audience. A free tip as you judge the contestants, the audience is judging you, your energy, your empathy, your music knowledge. A positive the guy interviewing the contestants is doing a stellar job. He gets my vote. Ballad Zulu gets my vote. Kidist and kazadi unfortunately it's a no for now, if you follow the advice there's hope for you next time. Otherwise looking forward to the next episode.
@@ckashi1203 I totally agree! They are showing just how unfit they are for this, like can we get actual singers and rappers to replace Kazadi and kidist. They are being unprofessional and Kazadi is unnecessary rude.
Somebody give me this so called kazadi's email I drop him am email,this guy is the worst thing to ever happen to this show and No this show can't go international with such judges . I wonder how modercai manages with such a self centered human like him
These judges are unprofessional, otherwise assertiveness theliz no...
Keziah got NO NO NO and the guy sang don't go away got two yes you must be joking 😀😀😀
Can you imagine.
Like seriously I was shocked 😢
@@JulietMuzeya The girl has an angelic voice there just judged her by the appearance
Imagine... it's really sad the judges are not fair enough.
Ifi fyabupuba guys just do your music never give up don't let this judges make you lose interest in what you do I guess they're here to discourage you
I feel like the girl with the baby had a chance,but the don't go away guy got 2 yes's not just that girl but watching this episode made me get more disappointed cz the judges keep interrupting the singers very unprofessional
I just want to know the criteria used for picking these judges coz they clearly don’t understand music except for Ballad Zulu atleast.
Exactly what I thought
Maybe music talent is now 6ually transmitted to wives. 😂. Really kaya.
I agree 😂😢
I tell you bro, they absolutely know nothing
The show is a disgrace
The judges have to acknowledge the fact that it takes alot of courage to participate on a show like this. A good number of these contestants did not perform well not necessarily due to lack of talent but external pressure and nerves played a role.
On that note, I feel the judges need to be judicious With their choice of words, lest they injure these young contestants' esteem. There Young People guyz come on!
We know they (judges) also want to shine in the eyes of the audience, but theres no need to be harsh! Take It Easy!!😅
The real world doesn’t care about nerves. That’s the sad truth. You have to give it your all whenever you get an opportunity and usually only 1 chance at each opportunity. So hope they learnt from this one and can do better when another opportunity calls.
@@elijahexploits2523 exactly, you can give someone the truth with being harsh. Kazadi is being unnecessarily harsh and it’s coming off as being rude and arrogant. To some extent they are acting unprofessional.
@@KalungaBwalyaYoure Absolutely right.
I partially agree not saying I'm an expert but the judges can do better and offer words of encouragementnot putting the contestants down like how they are .
That girl took her talent there😑😑noti ifyo ati "tausakwile imishishi"
Imagine,was it a job interview or talent show?
I know right, so upsetting!
@@sitanimezisimataa5491 they should bring new judges
@@graciouskabungo2934 they're judging contestants according to their looks
My 4c hair got me a no
Right contenders,Wrong judges 😂😂🥲🤦🏽♀️
Peniel was really good😢 awe
Am not impressed with how they judged pineal😐
Peniel is very good!!!
I was heartbroken when he was rejected. Like what!!!
I wonder as well🤔
But in this life never let someone's critic make you lose yourself
Peniel is the next big thing 💯 🇿🇲
Keziah please don't stop singing.. you have a nice voice girl
Thank you
@@Keziahtheeblackbird-f1p
You are welcome dear
They should have let her do another song, I feel sad for her..just letting talent go just like that.
@@bethkunda5042 imagine sure.. I felt bad too
Judging someone based on their hair and shoes smh . 😢
Imagine 😭
Justice for Penel guys😓
The duo in red and black who grew up in ngombe should not listen to the judges they are good has a duo
Exactly
Really good
That's true they were amazing it's the judges they are the problem
Let's put pipo who have actually done music and understand music
Some body to explain why the first guy made it to the second round... And KEZIAH got rejected 😮😮😮
Because the judges didn't know the song 😢
@@Cnms-24love😂😂🤦🏾♀️
For real.Make it make sense
So the first guy gets through while peniel gets denied the opportunity to get to the next round. Unfair world
Very unfair
Am sorry but David is quite arrogant..Seems he is the only one in charge. The rudeness on this show is unprofessional and honestly insane. 🚮🚮
@@tinatrascarlett7397 I was literally frustrated with Kazadi through the screen. He’s demeaning the contestants and his fellow judges. Just pure arrogance
Penile was good❤
The icon Zambia has to advertise the position of judges because I'm not impressed by the judges...they should unveil the talent in the rawness
The girl you judged that she wasn't dressed well actually she's got a very good voice. Otherwise am not pleased the way kidst is judging 😡
Am just wondering how they even qualified to judge
The fact that the guy who sang don't go away got two yes's and the girl who sang mr jailer got denied didn't add to me
@@user-mb3kk1by2p exactly! The fact that the first guy who sung got a yes then the singer from the great 8s was rejected and they kept the rapper while rejecting the lady who sung Mr jailer shows how incompetent this panel is.
That girl had the voice😢
!!!
Songs have picks and lows allow the contestants to finish their songs so that you can actually judge properly after listening the entire song.
Peniel You have a great voice
This show will go no where!
Both the rapper and singer were dope! Didn’t have to split them.
My thought exactly.
I think Kazadi knows it all!🤣🤣 Even if a well-established artist were brought in as a judge, I'm certain Kazadi would end up arguing with them, just like he does with Kidst. It almost feels like the competition is more about a judge's ego than the actual singers. As a former music producer and composer, I believe only Ballard has a good ear for music and notes. But it seems no one can challenge the Boss. Yabaaa🤣🤣🤣🤣 The hardest person to convince is someone who believes they are always right and know more than others. Regarding the competition, I firmly believe Peniel (20:26) is far too talented for this small contest.
I completely agree with you 💯
Justice for peniel
I agree with you know it all mentally ibi even if he can be kinda exposed na kufyalo we don't look down on there's talent..🤔
Ballad Zulu you do better judging than those 2
I think Ballad has more experience when it comes to ifyama talent my boy kazadi needs to tone down if not be replaced..🤔
When does dress code matter when it’s a music Audition some people can’t afford those clothes that you want to judge 183 with
Just imagine
Imagine that's my surprise too
“You’re being an ass, David.”😭 31:02
I think the laughing part from the judges while the singer is singing looks unprofessional please work on that in the next round
Am here for Mr mwewa
Ballad is a qualified judge he knows music well those 2 are learning
Honestly that girl was good...how can kidist judge someone based on her hair not talent? You need to tone down Kazadi what ever they call you..have humility in your commentary, don't try so hard to copy Simon Cowell
She's not gud
I feel they need to get another judge with a music back ground like mr Zulu , I didn’t know kazadi can be this rude damn
Get Slap Dee on this for a more holistic review on rap talent
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 The judge on the middle is trying so hard to be tough 😂😂😂, maybe he thinks he is Simon cowell
The problem with talent competition shows in zambia is that the try to imitate others create something will really help people .
Stupid people deserve nothing but disrespect
Man I don't understand why bro is being rude or a wannabe Simon Cowell whoever choose the judges must have been on drugs for real
#musula shenu
😂😂😂😂
@@MbileMagret-li1zk it's too much mwandi 🤣🤣🤣# musula shabo
😂😂😂😂
David Kazadi Simon Cowell from Temu😂😂😂
@@jnrtheglobalreporter I swear 😂🤣
You guys don't know what you are looking for, pineal was really on point his music is really good.
That peniel guy was way better than the first contestant I think the second time he was judged based on David's ego because at first he said no and he didn't want to Change his mind otherwise that guy is talented
@@sharonphiri8282 exactly! He can’t admit he’s wrong so the easiest thing was for him to deny someone who deserved an opportunity than look bad.
So if yo maps was auditioning he could have gotten the yeses?😅
My question exactly
And I qoute," you are being an ass David"
This kazadi guy thinks his Simon Cowell 😂,
He is so rude i dont like him at all..
@@WendyMukuka exactly! Elo ninshi Simon knows how to spot talent well and has changed over years.
The show is on his channel and if you've followed this guy time time, he wants us to to talk about it like that for the views if you know what I mean
Aaahh ayende uko
Kazadi has a bad character
Keziah you are a star and for coming with a child good job mama ❤forget these bullies of judges
Me trying to understand how the first guy went through 😂💀💀
Bruh! This isn’t serious
@@thokozilen it should be comedy aii 💀😂cause most of the singers who went through didn’t even deserve the spot..if it was idols SA they would have been wooden mic contestants 💀💀
@@clarisarchabala6865fyakubantu😅
@@clarisarchabala6865 the math is not mathing
@@KalungaBwalya True…The way he was singing as if he just went to make them laugh 😂and he went through…A panel of judges who are jokers💀😂
To the judges, stop talking while contestants are singing....its distracting
Yah very disrespectful
I don't know why 31:02 was so satisfying😂😂😂😂
U understood the assignment 😂
Very true infact he was being a Dickson jay jay..😂😂
I almost flipped when I saw Tasha 😮😅 been following her for a while, honestly Kazad didn't know what he was talking about
Tasha was my classmate in primary girls had a golden voice since she was young
imagine... I hope she comes back stronger in the next round
Artist was rhyming, stars mars, scars and bars are rhyming words what am i watching. That guy will make it despite the show.
True 🙏
Let me grab popcorns for this! Excited to watch this one!😁😁😁
He was like when you started I knew that you're going to annoy me
David needs to CHIIILLL🤣🤣 the way he made that decision to split that duo on his own without even asking the other judges what their opinions were, BIG LOL-because it was so clear that the singer was better, but he was in too much of a hurry to be Simon Cowell in that moment…
Also, the judges need to stop with the snickering, it’s juvenile and distracting.
Mwebantu the joker who sang don't go away got two yes's but the keziah who did Mr jailer got three no's 😏😏😏 is it adding up surely ... .I think the only judge qualified here is ballad zulu abashala kaya how they qualified to be musical judges
,,find judges who hv a clue about music kazadi was in movies ,yAlifye kazadi films then he got interested in Mordecai then he came up with kazadi music records or Shani uko then he qualifies to be a musical judge😒😒😒 ,kidist is the wife to yo maps ,the most happening musical export mu Zambia but she has no musical or entertainment history apart from being yo maps wife but apa niba judge 😏😏 ,ballad zulu is well known mu zambian musical circle ND u can see he knows what he's doing ,nangu alepela no he gives a no then advices wr the person should work on not just saying no try to find something else to do ,get yoself a job music doesn't fit u,takwaba give advice not just saying try next year.honestley speaking kazadi na kidist balefichitilamo ,they are our zed icons though they don't fit to be our zed musical judges ,let zed music judgement be for pipo who understand music eg bena wezi Mahone,Micheal zulu,mampi ,jk,tk,kb,smooth ik,mutinta(chungwa),Judy,slap,MK2,zonefam,rufkid,sister d, ND many more ,the idear is good but the planing was swift.
0146 was just nervous but you can tell she has a lot of potential 🔥 sweet voice
The great 8s are good.
Peniel is sooo good keep going guys don't listen to this judges
Jailer by ASA. kezia was nervous, Her looks are not a problem bana mulenga
On nigerian idol they have picked people based on the fact that they look like stars. In short looks do matter. Keziah can really sing, we need her back that peneil guy too
@@nzomiekopakopa9624 I think kazadi will bring some of them back
WHen I was walking in I left my 6months old baby’s crying husband lungs out and it broke me
@Keziahtheeblackbird-f1p are you the Keziah I feel Kidist related when you said you were with the baby. Otherwise you are really good. Also try to look like a Star as you go just in case you are recalled. The looks is what also disadvantaged that singer who was with the rapper. The look brings in the star power effect. If you watch idols you have seen how people brand themselves when they come back a second time. All the best
@@Keziahtheeblackbird-f1p don't give up on your dream 🤗 keep practicing consider what others have said about your looks. For me looks don't matter ❤
David said "maybe a little bit of substance abuse"💀💀
😂
Kazadi and kidist dont know what they are doing pènil was in my top3 singers for the day
If there’s a next season please pick better judges the legend Mr Ballad Zulu boss teach those two younglings what music is.
Kazadi makes it so apparent that he's in control. And he rushed into wanting to have the duo split up. It was great how Kidist gave it to him by changing her decision. Question is are looking to help hone one's skill or you're only looking for shining light on someone already made? We understand the judges are new to this, this should also understand the contestants a little bit more.
Very good show otherwise 💯
Blown off by Mr Mwewa's handshakes also, that hand did all the work 😂
😂 Evelyn cracked me up!
Imwe you people are violent 😂😂😂 she even closed her eyes
Potential should get you past the first round being an icon should definitely blow us all away but anyway it’s not my million Kwacha
If i can rejected like that by the mean judges, i would like to have uncle Simon speak some nice words to me like he does. Thank you uncle Simon🙏
kidist u were right about Peniel at first dont be unstable, Peniel had the best performance in this episode. Judges u are also embarrassing us as Zambians, we will also be saying that Zambia has the most biased judges, we are not stupid or fools to be seeing u misusing your powers. Mr Ballad u did a great Job, a big thumbs up to you. The others are just imitating some crazy judges they saw somewhere.
Good to see Tasha Chilufya❤
The only judge that gave technical feedback was Ballard.
Kazadi’s feedback was just surface level stuff that he was saying with a lot of bass and speed. Someone please tell him to talk less. He knows much less than he thinks he does, the talking too much is revealing that.
Also he’s portraying himself as boss, showing that the buck stops at him. It’s disrespectful to the other judges.
Kidist’s judgement actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be. Loved the little moments she stood up to David😅
@@chinanazimatambo6064 couldn’t agree more. He’s exposing his lack of knowledge and really undermining the other judges like his opinion is the only one that matters.
I like the encouragement from the man outside
Winston moyo,maiza chipenzi,ezreal and the wife these are good candidates to be on that panel of judges.
lets compare the first guy who sang "don't go" and Peniel, i'm beginning to think this is rigged. let the people vote
Joseph actually did better than most and the two girls😢
Wow good to see my baby girl Tasha. Go baby, you're a star.
Excuse me ! Are we judging based on looks or the voice ?
Now she's Mrs mulenga but her popular name is kifle
This is comedy
Something fishy is definitely going on, I'm not a professional in entertainment production or any related fields but I honestly think the judges panel has to be changed if they want this show to stand or at least just work on their work ethics. Keziah & peniel you guys did good from my perspective, with a little practice you'll be great..
Otherwise peace and love y'all
this is good big ups to kazadi and team..now lets have this show yearly and make it big
Justice for penile
Yeah I feel He just picked the wrong song
@@Thaclearview yes even with the wrong song choice he sounded good
@@kundamunsele6833 but the judges are too tough first round has to be easy it gets tough as the competition goes on even the other lady that came with a child did well even lanji they were suppose to make it to the next round like alot of talent was let go because of pettiness
Yah justice for him
Vaupuba
The judges should have been something like
Jay Rox
Pompi
And another person, anyone but these people .
Remove kidist there
The guy that sang don’t go away got two yes you guys must be joking we need good judges on the panel
We need macky2 , Wezi and maintain zulu
Serious the guy that sang don't go away is a joke
Kidist is actually a good person
There's everything wrong about the two judges Kazadi n Kidist. Ballad is the only true professional judge.
The mistake made is allowing the sponsor of the show to be a judge lol zambia is a comedy channel zoona
On the part of judges, I think Kidst was brought there not because she understands music but because of her influence on social media which David felt could help the competition have a wider reach. Otherwise it's okay
Yo these guys need to watch more of these type of shows, you are going to judge someone off what she got on, 183 had a nice voice
Contestant No. 154 - Kazadi the essenceof rap is to rhyme I didnt hear any....
The Flow: I Know I'm the next Icon and I feel like the moon coz we have too many STARS, Tell me you know what I know but these Nigga's be trippin thats why I keep dropping these BARS, Careful the people you keep anybody can change Leave you with SCARS, always keep your head up, every body reaching the sky and I'm reaching for MARS.
bro you cant hear it? 🤣🤣🤣
Imagine 😅
The girl with the baby she was better than most of the people who got yes
Kenzie did the most than even the guy don't go
Am actually impressed you judges are tough,so anyone coming through needs to understand they have to give it there whole cos its a competition. This isnt a feel pity and win competition, we wana see some A game talent ✊🏾
