Channel 24 loves #TheVoiceSA and we love their tweets! They kicked off Sunday nightโ€™s conversation with a gif of former The Voice US coach Christina Aguilera doing a massive yay, with the caption, โ€œIt's @VoiceSA time! #TheVoiceSAโ€.

Then it was on to the performers. Anchen impressed Bobby and was greeted by our host Stacey Norman, who posted, โ€œWelcome to @VoiceSA S2 @AnchG13.โ€ But Stacey was also getting plaudits, notably from fellow 947 on-air personality Philicity Reeken, who wrote, โ€œYou know Sundays consist of, kids, snacks, @VoiceSA, and watching my mate @staceynorman owning it.โ€

SA Celeb Tweets were in on the action again, and embraced second talent Tender to the show with, โ€œWow what a Tender voice! #TheVoiceSA @VoiceSA @MNet 3 Turns! Welcome to #TeamLira, Tender! @Miss_LIRAโ€. Lindoโ€™s song choice caught the attention of Zama Mvulane, who tweeted, โ€œ#Lindo is doing a #Burnout @VoiceSA #TheVoiceSAโ€. Meanwhile, Miracle Shumba had noticed another aspect of the show weโ€™re proud of: โ€œRetweet if you also appreciate the way @VoiceSA treats all contestants with such respect and honor. How refreshing!โ€ Truth!

Jacquelineโ€™s performance got the attention of all four coaches and plenty of you too. Keanu B offered, โ€œYas girl slay on #thevoicesaโ€ while ObiwanJacobie picked up Kahnโ€™s peach of a pitch: โ€œYoh!!! "You wanna win? Guess what I won this last year!" #DropTheMic #Fire #TeamKahn #TheVoiceSAโ€.

Chadโ€™s version of Matthew Moleโ€™s โ€œAutumnโ€ impressed Bobby and Lira โ€“ he opted for the former โ€“ and Stacey, who tweeted, โ€œ.@chazzywick making @MatthewJMole proud on @VoiceSAโ€. And Fatman caused plenty chatter with his chilled brand of silliness and his voice, with Channel 24 calling it out: โ€œFatman is definitely one of our favourites. His voice has such a rich tone. @VoiceSAโ€. His coach however seemedโ€ฆ Scared! Kahn wrote, โ€œ@VoiceSA @MNet If I go missing, look in Bela Bela please.โ€ LOL!

Final talent of the night Marco had all four coaches turning - and you tweeting! Notably it was Kahn again who chirped, โ€œ*in a high-pitched voice* Jealous @bobbyvjaarsveld! Maybe I shouldnโ€™t have said Marco looked like an accountantโ€ฆ #TheVoiceSAโ€. Maybe not, bud!

A special shout out to Sheila Grobler, who was with us all night and tweeted some gems, including a pic of her daughter sitting backwards on the couch with the caption, โ€œ@VoiceSA #TheVoiceSA my daughter being a coachโ€ and the perfect wrap-up: โ€œaaah another superfast show done & dusted. Wish time went a little slower while The Voice is onโ€ with sad face. See you all this Sunday!
