Unathi Replaces Mara On Idols

Oh to have been a fly the wall when these proceedings were going on ...

We always know that things behind-the-scenes on TV can be crazy-ass, yet when you hear about the results of all the "unseen" conversations that have obviously gone on one can't help going OMG by how much chaos there actually is.

The latest on Idols:  various news reports are saying that Mara has left the show after seven seasons. You may remember all the controversy surrounding her headline comments last season when she said that Idols is racist. Word is the relationship between Mara and M-Net collapsed after that.

Her replacement: Metro FM's Unathi Msengana

It's official. Idols judge Mara Louw is out and Metro FM radio personality Unathi Msengana is in.

This follows reports yesterday that Louw would not be a judge in the seventh season of the singing competition.

The decision came as no surprise to viewers who had called for Louw's resignation last year after she was reprimanded for mixing painkillers, vodka and Red Bull before a show.

The Soweto-born singer was also involved in a racism scandal after she said the show should be moved to SABC3 so that a black person could win Idols, as many black people did not have DStv and could not send hundreds of SMSes to vote for their favourites
