Solange's music is one of sophisticated types , that is mostly understood by musicians and artists, as a result I'm not surprised that she didn't get the best of responses from the crowds. Put this girl in a room full of poets, musicians and artists, and make her perform this song, this would have been the highlight of the evening. Well done Xae, I hope she sticks to her artistry despite not being completely understood. That's how Solange has kept it, odd and absolutely tasteful and amazing!

Xae is so much more than just a singer. Shes a performer. This was incredible.

Y'all saying that the song was not right choice or it does not suite her have you listened to the actual original song . It takes passion and talent to perfection a piece that is not yours. She made the song her's and it suited her voice and personality. Thank you Xae's fans.

Her vocal range my goodness😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

This rendition was absolutely amazing, its a shame the song isn't commercial enough for her to get the praise she deserves...still voting ❤

I see myself in Xae when it comes to music taste... may not be everybody's taste but damn I connect with this a lot

Xae is so vocally talented and sophisticated she shouldn't worry too much about winning votes, Idols is the right platform for exposure. She'll still be big with or without winning Idols.

She has a beautiful voice honestly. Unfortunately South Africans tend to not vibe to this type of music. Specifically, music they don't know, music that doesn't move them off their chairs. Hopefully someone will pick her up.

she's got the voice, she will definitely make it, idols or no idols

Put Xae with SZA, H.E.R and Lauryn Hill ❤️

Give it up for the band. We often forget the amazing work that they do. As for Xae, my babe, you sing so beautifully ♥

your voice control girl, its on point!!!!!

Xae is one of the best singer SA has ever seen, After Idols you will here from her, Amazing voice, Cant wait for the show stopper this Sunday show, that all the people can see what Xae is all about

To sing that type of a song it takes a person who is gifted, listen to the song, you do not have to know the song in order for you to judge the singer, I personally think that she is the best because that type of a song needs a professional to sing it. the other competitors are not going to be able to sing that type of music except for her. WELL DONE GIRL. I am not a judge but you are already a winner to me

Solange💜 you did the song justice bae💛

I'm a big fan. You have arguably the best vocal capability above the others. I can feel your vibe. I think you have a big decision between stick to your style versus try win over the crowd whilst losing yourself. So far you are staying true to yourself and i support that very much. Those who don't like you would just have to go somewhere else. If you think of singing songs that people know and be a crowd pleaser then do that and with your vocal capability you would be number 1 by a long mile. You do your best no matter what.

This girl is a fantastic vocalist. Listen to the way she uses different registers with a voice. Confidently. Great job darl

Great song choice for your voice baby girl🔥💯

OMG...Xae killed this over and over. Pure raw talent that is currently on the global standards 🤗🤗🎉🎉🤗🎉🤗😍😍😍😍🕺🕺🕺...I see her with artists like SZA,H.E.R...and Jorja Smith 😍😍

wow she has the elegance to sing and performed I love the person she is

Your voice gives me chilled vibes... I just love you Xae😍😍😍

I was listening to this performance with my eyes closed... her vocals take you emotional journey.. this is the type of music that doesnt entertain you but makes you think and feel the emotions of the performer... was a very good performance

with or without idols you are a star xae

A very well done Xae!! You delivered!!! If one doesn't understand the art of music then they won't understand you, qhuba gal stay true to yourself, we love you!!!

This was actually a very beautiful performance 😭🔥🔥 and she took a risk by choosing a song that was never sang before on idols

Season 14 winner😍

Wow she's amazing her voice

Im still voting for u Girl u can sing 💓 banyise

Xae ❤😍you just perfect dear ❤ clean voice nd everything is in order

No man this performance 😭💫 I'm crying

This was a perfect performance. It is on point in technique and in performance.

It's unfortunate that people like Xae with extra ordinary talent are so underrated because of her choice of songs😕..listen to her vocal range and voice please..

Incredible performance, she will gain more as an artist by continuing to be true to herself and respecting her craft the way she does.

She's definitely unique.

Xae is playing it too safe...but she's mos def a classic singer! Timeless! Chilled vibes.

I like how you spiced up my favorite song💕✨

My fav for the week. u did guuuuuuuuud Xae

This was a difficult song to sing and perform. And she gave it her all

Yesssass ....thats my girl......

i love you Xae your music just makes my heart skip jump jump

Xae is the Idol we deserve

No no no! Xae is the idol of 2019

Can’t belive I missed this performance.Job well done. I’m glad that she showed some layers to her voice and not give us what we see every year ❤️

Girl you on fire

She'd nail tomorrow by Brandy! So so Beautiful😍😭👌

I wish Solange can see this...

Your voice has some awesome and unique ingredients that it automatically qualifies for international competitions

Very flexible vocally 🔥 she'd nail jazz

This make me cry every time I watch it ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭

Thank you for staying true to yourself

Why isn't this performance on idols global🙌

Xae has won idols sa😁❤💯

Lol so people won't vote for her coz she sings songs y'all don't know? Ahw TBH it's annoying to hear the same songs over and over again and to be a performer or entertain you need to be versatile, yes you need to know what suits you but again we don't want one dimensional singers who we'll get bored to hear at some point in time. Don't kill me for writing this but it's the truth.

Amazing

Beautiful ❤️

I still love this 😍😍😍

Thumbs up....... dear keep it up

Goose bumps

Yes ma'am 👏👏👏

Bring her to the USA...please, she would have the music companies at her feet

She makes me like songs I don't know. I believe she is the breakout star this year.love her.

Wow!

Mmh that's what we call singing

i love her

WOW!!!

I feel like this was thee best constant🤞🤍

Don't get why she didn't win Idols 2018 ...was the strongest contender

💖 solangè

11/10 💃

yessss

goosebumps😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

Xae😍

You good...respect

Interesting rendition. Still love solange version. But you did this one well

I wonder why her theatre week solo performance cannot be found anywhere

Musical brilliance

Eish song choice. But you will get the votes. A brilliant vocalist you are.

Song choice knocked her out of the running. She went for these songs that aren't very famous and easy to sway with.

love you

i still feel u letting us down...

Also if people really understood music they wouldn’t need to know the song in order to enjoy it. 🙃

Still Amazing

Woooow

Cranes in the sky..... My song.... Yohhhh
