Siki Jo-An - The African Queen

In 2019, South Africa brought an exceptional performer to this global franchise. Siki Jo-An , a 25 years old musician from Kwazakhele, owned the stage week by week, introduced people around the world to the Xhosa "Click Sound" and stunned audience and coaches with her diverse musical talent. She finished the competition on the 3rd place, but her charismatic and life-affirming performances will be remembered for a long time to come.
Thank you for this fascinating journey...

I've been confused asking myself if she was in a competition or she was called to perform because she is above and beyond the level of competition ❤

[@SaaharaGlaude]

So were Susan Boyle - Fantasia - Kelly Clarkson!

[@adewirasanjaya]

good question. In the recent competitions, the team usually opens application for any talents. Another way is the team contacts and invites potential talents to join the audition.

I’m dumbfounded. Her talent is off the charts and it’s her African songs that give me chills. Her styling is off the charts. I loved her outfits, makeup, and accessories. Just an all around pleasure to watch and enjoy. Her beautiful, interpretative voice is a gift from God.

When they sang R.E.S.P.E.C.T together, it didn’t seem like they were in competition at all! Just two queens knowing how to share the stage and give a hell of a performance. Some of the shows they are trying to ousting each other they forget about the performance and the song itself , this was amazing!

She's got me wanting to learn South African just so I can understand the lyrics. You don't need to win to know you're the winner!
