If you were rooting for Tebogo Louw to win South African Idols then you\u2019ll be shocked to learn the singer himself wasn\u2019t rooting for himself. \u201cI never wanted to win Idols,\u201d says Tebogo Louw.<\/p>\n

The singer told Drum Mag how he only wanted to get to the live stage and perform in the top ten just to make people familiar with him.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI wanted to go to the Top 10 so I could be able to sell my voice using the Idols platform and I achieved just that. On the show I had to be careful and not show my real personality. I am \u2018crazy\u2019 and there I had to be tame. Now that I am exposed, people will enjoy the real me,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The 25-year-old says he wants to bring back the funky Motown sound and high-pitched voices. \u201cMy upcoming album will be titled The Age of Tebogo and I will sing in both vernac and English.\u201d<\/p>\n
