This year's Australian Idol final two are a counfounding pair. You'd have to be blind and deaf not to get that Matt Corby and Natalie Gauci are excellent performers and good looking enough to shift records, it's just that they're so... boring.

Dicko said it, everyone has been thinking it, and now the final two themselves have more or less confirmed it by giving the most boring interviews possible in the lead up to the big bash at the Opera House on Sunday.

That's the nature of Idol. It's a plunge into the deep end without floaties.

"People see our family, see where we live, see our bedrooms. I'm sure we haven't seen Beyonce's bedroom or Missy Higgins' bedroom," Gauci says.

There was also controversy over the singers' religious beliefs, with speculation Corby's church, Assemblies Of God, allegedly encouraged its congregation to vote for him.

Both Corby and Gauci are adamant that people's religious beliefs should be allowed to be kept private.

"What we believe is up to us," Corby says on the subject. "It's not Religious Idol."

Offers Gauci: "It's one thing to judge you for your singing, another thing to judge you for your religion."

Guys, what is this? Australia's Next Top Diplomat? You're want to be the Australian Idol, not Miss Congeniality!

In fact, we thought we'd never say it, but we're starting to miss Tarisai.

Come back you crazy bitch, all is forgiven!
