Peak of success perhaps, although definately not musically.

The jumpsuits give them super powers!

INFERNAL METHOD

ASTENNU!

 

[mattt]

Blitz, your added to my hitlist..

you say how much you love Guy and i can't even say i don't like him, i don't like The Beatles, i feel that they are extremely over-rated, so fucking what? I can't say that? Blitz you are a disgrace to the human kind.

goodbye motherfucker

 

[spawn]

He is sleeping with Nintendo too!

 

[Blitzkrieg]

I don't love Guy, I am not really even a fan, but most people will agree that he is an obvious talent, and that is my same opinion of The Beatles. I don't care what you like, but it is ignorant to say that such people like The Beatles are shit. I think they are overated too, but they are still very talented, and that is why I have respect.

If you had have said, 'Guy's vocal stylings aren't my cup of tea', then I wouldn't give a shit, but you didn't.

 

[spawn]

Notice how he conveniently skips over his torrid affair with Nintendo.

 

[mattt]

what does is matter how i said it? I have the right to an opinion and just because mine differs from yours, it doesn't give you the right to speak shit.

OK, I'm going to say two things. First of all, Nirvana ruled back in the day. for Nirvana.

Second, Haupy. It's about time we discussed this. Nobody has a problem with you expressing your opinions, and nobody has a problem with your opinions disagreeing with everyone else's. What people (well, me) have a problem with is that you make these extreme statements, and then don't back them up. That sounds obnoxious and rude to some people. If you said you hated the Beatles and then explained why, then we could all deal with that and carry on. I'm not trying to gang up on you or anything, or have a go at you, I'm just trying to explain why I assume some people react the way they do. Whether you change your way is entirely up to you, and I respect your decision.

So yeah, Nirvana ruled back in the day - - and Haupy's opinions are valid. There.

Just call me Spiffo McGandhi.

Why? You're not scottish.

I hated Peter's voice coz I can't stand that style of vocal but he did that style well for what it was. I agree with Sydo that he was very smart in getting 100% of the minority vote. Every alternative/grunge/rock type listener who voted would've voted for him because he was the only one doing it. Except me (though I don't count in that group anyway except for the rock part) because I didn't like his voice. I would've voted for the guy who sang Aerosmith. Even though he needed more grit in his voice, I love the song so it was my fave performance, and it isn't a competition to sound like the original anyway, he did pretty well and did it justice imo.

I'm glad Kurt won. He was cool, would've been my 2nd choice. I'm shocked that Will did well at all. He SUCKS! That was the worst performance of the night, even the German who sung Maniac and danced like a poof was better than Will. In addition to having a crap voice, doing an AWFUL version of the song and annoying me with that "light my fire light my fire light my fire!" part, he stood behind a mic stand!! How boring can you be?!? At least the German was funny with his awful dancing haha!

 

[Spiff]

Well, Will Young (and Kelly Clarkson) already have a fan base outside of their respective countries, so they were always guaranteed some votes. I'm surprised Will didn't do better than he did.

I'd like to hear Peter do another song - it's tough to judge his voice based on one song. He sounded pretty good in the clips from the Belgian Idol show.

We had this discussion before, but that was back in the day when most of Haupy's posts were " uke: " , so I've just considered myself lucky that we got as far as we did.

I know you're all criticising Will Young, but I really liked him. He has a beautiful presence and a charm that made my heart flutter. I really enjoyed his song. He's got that extra thing that you need beyond good looks and a great voice. Maybe guys can't see it like a girl can. Then again, maybe he's just my kind of guy.

Xena, did you like Will Young?

Actually sorry Moony no I found him boring and lacked conviction!It may have been the platform he was singing on and didn't care.I have heard and seen his 1st single and thought he had a great voice but that is all no real presence!

 

[The Amazer]

The Belgian guy came third, so that's cool.

Fuck that Norwegian was an ugly bastard though, hahahaha, Dicko said the funniest shit about him. "If this was middle earth idol you'd win" HAHAHA

 

[Spiff]

The ugly hobbit guy gives me hope for when I audition for Australian Idol this year!

Catfights marred World Idol
By Toby Forage
January 05, 2004

BRITISH World Idol contestant Will Young earned the ire of his fellow contestants after behaving like a prima donna behind closed doors at the singing contest.


It has emerged the chart topper did everything he could to distance himself from his fellow competitors in an immature display of petulance that angered Norwegian winner Kurt Nilson.

The 25-year-old former plumber branded Young an "a--hole" after the British star refused to shake his hand following his victory, according to news reports from Norway.

Australia's competitor Guy Sebastian, who finished in the middle of the field, concurred with Nilson's story.

"I don't want to say anything bad about anyone, but Will made it pretty clear he wasn't into it," Sebastian told NW Magazine.

The gossip weekly also claimed Young, a gay icon in the UK, snubbed a dinner for the 11 contestants on New Year's Eve.

Only 10 of the 11 Idols got together in their hotel for a bash that last until 3am, with Young nowhere to be seen. It's thought he was seeing in the New Year among more "worthy" company.

Prior to the competition going to air, Young reportedly felt he had been forced into the World Idol contest against his will, and was not keen on being involved what he deemed a "tacky Eurovision-style" song contest.

Those that saw his performances in the UK's first Pop Idol had no doubt he had no interest in vying for the world crown. His version of The Doors' classic Light My Fire was far below the sensational standards he set to win the inaugural Idol title.

Young, though, may soon be forced to fight it out directly with his Norwegian nemesis. Nilson's single She's So High is about to be released in the UK. Nilson - a father of two - spent nine weeks at No.1 in Norway with his smash, and if his popularity in World Idol is anything to go by, he could hit the top of the charts in the UK, too, a chart that Young has ruled many times.

 

[JonBonJovi]

Yeah stick up the wanker Nilson!
I hope he does outsell the pompous git!

 

[Lord Tim]

Wow, pop stars are so fickle these days! Yes, I *am* looking your way, Tania! HAHAHA!

 

[Goreripper]

I can understand his reluctance at appearing on the show considering he's been the UK Idol for 3 years or something by now, but it smacks of hypocrisy when he calls it a tacky contest. I wonder if he thought that when he entered UK Idol in the first place?
