Australian Idol 2007

Holly's downfall is that she chose a song no one's heard of. She was pretty good though, so if she gets voted off because no one knew the song, people are voting for all the wrong reasons. I think she might be safe though, because the trumpeter guy will probably go. The JT song was pretty shit. Hahah. The first six or so were all bad. Even the rock dude. I thought he totally blew on that U2 song. I didn't even recognise it for about the first half. Who did The Killers? He was good. Natalie is hopeless.
 
That "rock" guy is terrible. He has no balls to his voice, and is not really rock at all. Weak.

I actually really liked the arrangement of Cry Me A River, great use of the band.

At this stage I agree about Turisai, the only one with a voice that should go beyond the competition.

I didn't realise the song Holly did was obscure, as I have heard it heaps, but then I listen to a bit of triple j. Oh well.

The faggy young kid does have great potential.

The guy that did Coldplay wasn't that great.
 
The thing about Turisai is that she has no imagination whatsoever. She just sang Alicia Keys like anyone with a half decent voice would sing it. Almost all the others are trying something a bit risky. This is part of the reason why former Idols never seem to get anywhere. Just being a singer isn't enough. You have to have some imagination to develop your style.

Holly's song wasn't that obscure, but it was certainly the least-known of any of them. And Brianna needs to listen and watch more Bjork to learn how to progress beyond being a kewpie doll.
 
There are no standouts this year at all. Everyone's quite boring.

Does anyone else hate Marcia? Her comments are useless. Even when Kyle's being a knob end his comments are something you can act on. Marcia's all "keep doing what you're doing, and you go girl." The three others can all be bagging the shit out of someone, and all have very good points, and Marcia will just smile and say she liked it.

She pisses me off, and is becoming the reason I don't watch it.
 
She's been useless since the show began. Kyle's a fucking knob-end but at least he has a commercial radio presenter's idea on what makes a hit (unless it's his own girlfriend. Then he's utterly clueless). Dicko's the gun though. He's always spot on and he's never afraid to speak his mind. This will be the last season of Idol I reckon. Dicko's already confirmed through some of his comments that BMG doesn't really have its heart in it anymore*, and the quality of contestants is pretty thin.

*And who could blame them. The only finalists who've been that successful are Shannon Noll, Damien Leith and Anthony Callea. All the rest have pretty much either vanished or been one hit wonders. The women were so successful that their record company had to make them into an ensemble just to make back the money they'd spent on them.
 
I hate that chick who fucking murdered God only Knows.
I love that song... I really love it.
It isn't meant to be that cutesy pie shit that she turned it into.
It's quite an emotional, beautiful song and she added those god damn doo doo de doo cutesy shit.
Totally outo f place. Fuck off.

I used to hate Kyle on the show, but now, even though he's a fuckhead, I think he's a good judge... when he doesn't just go along with the rest of them and sound like a knob that thinks he knows what he's talking about, but doesn't really. When he simply states whether he likes it or not is when it's good, because he obviously doesn't know shit about singing, he just knows what he likes, that combined with his radio gig gives a good impression of how something will go on the radio.

Kyle does have an intrinsic feel for what is massively popular. He has no idea about musicality and is all at sea regarding most music that came out before the mid-80s but he knows what the masses like. That's why he's there and he should not pretend there's any other reason. There isn't. If his show bombed in the ratings or he got shafted from 2DAY, he'd be out of that chair like greased lightning.
 
Everyone here knows what an Idol tragic I am, but to be honest I really don't want to watch the show anymore this year. Last night was AWFUL.

The only performances I liked were Carl the trumpet dude and Natalie Gauci who sang the Powderfinger song (why do they call it "On My Mind" when it's called "(Baby I've Got You) On My Mind"? Don't you say the bit in brackets? They've done this in previous years too). Mark who sang the U2 song was quite good last week, but he wasn't quite good this week.

I'll give them one more go, but last night was just painful.
 
Having unexpectedly enjoyed American Idol when I was overseas, I gave our version a shot, but unfortunately just found it boring, so stopped tuning in. :(
 
Since I refuse to watch the show, I can't remember the names... but I read a story this morning that apparently the youngest bloke on the show was found "canoodling" with Brianna (I think that was the name) in the spa of the "Idol House"
 
Hehe, he wasn't that bad. And he gets bonus points for singing a Led Zep song that wasn't Whole Lotta Love, which so far as been the only one anyone has ever performed (as far as I know).

Everyone else has been woeful so far.
