the Australian Idol thread

[Spruce Goose]

Yep, I agree spawn. Anthony has to win. He is not my favorite out of the final 12, but he is the only one left that would fit the bill.

I have lost a bit of interest in the last few weeks. My 2 favorite.. daniel and Rikki Lee were kicked out in back to back weeks. Bah

 

[spawn]

It would be interesting to see one of the others win it, but I cant see it happening, they will probably rig the vote anyway with all the money riding on it, Anthonys a dead set, odds on special

Of course, if he crashes out tonight, ill retract my statement tomorrow

 

[Blitzkrieg]

It is a strange final 5, but if Ricki-Lee and Daniel were there instead of Hayley, and perhaps Casey, it would be a lot closer running and a lot more interesting.

I agree with Chris about Casey, she is good now, but when she matures and such it may do wonders for her.

I liked what Holden said to Hayley, only because I completely agree with him, and if he is going to get condemned for bagging her out like he has in past weeks, he needs to find another way to put his opinion across, and that is what he did. I didn't like the way he treated Courtney though, but Chris is right, Courtney should be picking songs that suit him rather than just old classics.

Chanel really did look silly didn't she? That outfit may be her demise. Hopefully it is Hayley though...hopefully.

How funny was it when Holden said it was Anthony's competition at the moment, then Marcia butted in and said no, that is what people said about Ricki-Lee, and it isn't over till the fat lady sings. Then coming up, was Casey, hehe.

I really want Anthony to win. I don't like him all that much, but he is the best person for the job now that Ricki-Lee is out of the picture.

 

[Goreripper]

It's interesting reading all your thoughts on Casey. Her family have been entertainers for three generations, and she just won an award for Best New Talent. The maturity aspect may be relevant, but she's hardly the youngest person to be attempting to make a career when you look at how young Christina, Brittany, Jessica, silverchair, Sunk Loto, et.al, even Michael Jackson were when they started making records. She's a far better singer than Hayley, who's six years older. Courtney was terrible last night.

 

[Cooperman]

And I don't know why people are bitching about the quality of the talent. Sure most of them aren't what you'd call spectacular but do you remember who came second last year? I would go as far as saying everyone left in the competition has a better voice than Shannon Noll.

I'll tell you what the problem with the people in it this year is. They are all fucking boring. None of them have any personality. Especially Anthony. Add that to his pussy R&B Enrique crap he sings and that's the reason I don't want him to win.

Assassins!

 

[Chris Brooks]

Ooh, she's gone! Can I be the first one to say (snigger snigger) Chanel: Number 5.

EDIT : ooh she just said it herself.

Hardly looked disappointed did she?

 

[Celestial-Todd]

Why would she be? She's got the publicity she wanted

 

[Spiff]

She was expecting it, I think. And she's not someone who will blame everyone else but herself like Ricki-Lee.

Oh well.

 

[Goreripper]

How do we all think Hayley will handle singing a big band song? *sniggers*

 

[Spiff]

I thought she'd be gone after week three or four. At the rate she's going she'll win the comp.

Interesting thing to note: tonight's bottom 3 were the finalists from group 1.

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I am fucking sick of seeing Hayley dodge bullets. She sucks. Sucks. Chanel's performance at the end just proved how much better she is than Hayley, and she wasn't even near her best.

Courtney did deserve to be bottom three, but it was his worst performance thus far. I think he will bounce back from it.

Casey is a strange one, she has character, but really lacks in personality, if that makes any sense.

I was wondering, when will they start singing 2 songs each? This week, or when it is down to three?

 

[Chris Brooks]

Why would she be? She's got the publicity she wanted

One would assume she entered for a record deal.

 

[Spiff]

I think Casey can be hilarious sometimes. I was cracking up when Andrew was asking her what happened after her performance. "And people were like..." "Like what?" "Like, you know." "No, like what?" "...You know."

I think they'll do the two songs thing starting next week.

 

[Goreripper]

Xena almost chucked the remote thru the TV when Hayley got through. Why does she keep getting through? It's obviously not on her ability to sing or dance and she's incredibly reluctant to show any flesh if her photo shoot is anything to go by.

 

[Spiff]

Yes, it's quite baffling.

I wonder where Angie would be if she hadn't left in the first week.

 

[Cyclonus]

Hayley should have gone.

The final 3 should have been Chanel, Casey and Courtney.

Courtney should win.

Stupid Idol...

 

[Blitzkrieg]

Bum bags aren't thrash.

[spawn]

I think Hayley has a great voice, I dont know why you guys think she is so bad, she isnt a Celine Dion, but she can more than hold her own

Why are all the judges playing favorites this year? Its a crock. Dicko and Holden loved Chanel, Marcia hated her, Holden fellates everything Casey does and blatantly attacks anything Hayley does.

Chanel took it pretty well, I was expecting her to break down like a big girls blouse but she held it together. Oh well, Anthony has it in the bag id say, though Courtney is the dark horse...
