For almost a decade, the South African version of Idols has been one of the country\u2019s biggest television shows and Ford has been proud to be a part of that success,\u201d says Ford Marketing Manager, Gavin Golightly. \u201cFor some years now there has been talk of a music video and this year Ford decided to sponsor the production of the two videos in order to ensure they are available immediately after the announcement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Finalists Melissa and Khaya have already captured the imagination of the public and felt right at home in front of the camera as they went about shooting the music videos for their new singles, \u2018I could spend a life time\u2019 and \u2018Move\u2019 respectively. Also making a staring appearance in the productions is Ford\u2019s popular Fiesta, which the winner will drive away in.<\/p>\n<p>The videos were shot at Joburg hotspot, Tokyo Star in Greenside and various hotspots in New Town. Nevermachine, who have worked with star\u2019s like Lira and previous Idols winner Elvis Blue were responsible for directing the videos, which have been generating quite a buzz ahead of the big announcement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe end result has been fantastic. Both Melissa and Khaya are consummate professionals, no matter who goes on to win, I have no doubt we will be seeing and hearing a lot more from both of them in the future,\u201d concludes Golightly.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!-- Start Shareaholic LikeButtonSetBottom Automatic --><!-- End Shareaholic LikeButtonSetBottom Automatic -->\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Melissa Allison As tension mounts ahead of the announcement of this year\u2019s South African Idols winner this evening, the finalists have performed their singles and their respective music videos are now available to the public.
