The Idols contestant Dave van Vuuren in the 7th season of the reality show on M-Net is very clearly by far the frontrunner to win this season when it comes to talent.
Dave van Vuuren's rendition Sunday evening of Sex on Fire by Kings of Leon not only elicited effusive praise from all of the Idols judges but a massive crowd response including thundering applause, screams and a standing ovation from the in-studio audience.

The 20 year old rock savant's performance and voice on Idols is in a completely different class and far outperforms any of the other 9 contestants now trailing far in Dave van Vuuren's wake.
''It's amazing,'' said a smiling Gareth Cliff of Dave van Vuuren's performance, that elicited massive screams and a standing ovation from the audience. ''It's kinda like Groundhog Day, it's kinda like deja vu; this is your competition to lose Davey Dave. The best!'' said Unathi Msengana. ''You did a brilliant job, you connected with the crowd so good. Beautiful job man,'' said guest judge Ziyon.
Even the harshest Idols judge Randall Abrahams had nothing but pure praise for Dave van Vuuren. ''Dave, there are some performers in the top 10 who tick all the boxes. They can sing, they look good, they choose the right song. But you and Kelly are in your own special boxes,'' Randall Abrahams told Dave van Vuuren. Idols presenter ProVerb called his performance ''electricity''.
The first top 10 contestant will be eliminated in the first live Tuesday Idols elimination results show this Tuesday at 19:30 on M-Net.
