Finally, an election in 2004 goes the right way.

It's still on TV over here... but I couldn't be bothered with it... I hated both Casey and Anthony more than anyone else in the Top 12 so I couldn't give a shit who won.

It will be interesting to how many of those people voting with some kind of agenda (those who thought it was time to have a girl, or a non-attractive non-stereotyped singer, or whatever other motive was involved in not voting for the most marketable, talented or career-promising artist) will follow through with a purchase. I don't see sympathy votes or agenda-motivated votes translating to sales over the long term, although I'm surte the instant success factor will be great for a while. I personally feel that Australia has just voted the next Scott Cain and not a career-sustaining artist. I know that 14 years old girls at home probably don't concern themselves with such things, and I'm sure I should give up my long held notion that talent warrants reward, and lack of it warrants work, not recording contracts. I feel certain that a loss would have inspired Casey to work hard, dig deep and work on all her flaws as a performer, but with a win does it not send the message that everything's great as is?
The lesson, kids, is regardless of how hard you work, how talented you are, how marketable you are or how much better you suck up the nerves and deliver quality performances night after night, if you don't draw in the public and make them your bitch, someone with less of all those things with rip out the rug from underneath you.

Casey has more talent than Anthony, easily. She may not be as marketable or as good looking, but she consistantly blew him off the stage every week.
Even that crappy single sounds better when Casey sings it. The right person (out of the two who were left) won.

Chris, her album will go multiplatinum in about a week. Nobody is suggesting any of them will have massively long careers, so it doesnt matter who wins.
Anthony had no more going for him than Casey did IMHO, and while I hate both versions of that song they recorded, Casey outperformed Anthony every week except when Anthony did The Prayer.

Anthony is a way better singer than casey.
Rikki Lee was the best though. She was fuckin perfect for that comp and left way too early. I have no doubt that she would have won if it was her name that Andrew G read out as the winner
