Australian Idol: It Can’t Be Long Now Before Things Actually Get Interesting, Right? Right?
Last night’s Wild Card episode wasn’t enough to keep me in the house, the lure of Japanese food and my friend Booky’s text message stating “You know Idol is shit, come to tea” overpowering my original desire to remain couch-bound and Marcia’d up to the eyeballs, but thanks to the wonders of technology, I was able to view the performances once I got home and I’ve gotta say…
I’m not overly enthusiastic about any of the singers (James Spargo makes me want to go a little punchy actually, ever since the audition episodes where he cried at the drop of a hat) but if Roshani doesn’t make it into the Top Twelve, I will boycott the show for the rest of the season*.
Watch her performance, and soak up more vapid thoughts from Your Editor, after the jump.
*Note: When push comes to shove, I probably won’t stand by this vow.
I really quite like her, although I am fairly certain the Wes Carr train will be hard to stop on its way to Victory Station, but if anyone can derail him, it’s Roshani. Also, let us hope and pray I never ever try using another rail-based metaphor around these parts ever again.
“Thank god, it’s important you stay ‘on track’, Jess!” – You
LOL, you wags.
I did enjoy Kyle critiquing young Nicole Banks’ performance of Sara Bareilles’ “Love Song” by piping up with something incredibly insightful along the lines of “the emotion just rolled along really… emotionally… and it was really emotionless.” Erm, WHAT?
And finally, I may have just made this up in my head, but has Marcia taken to finishing up her judgment of performers by simply emphatically saying the word “Welcome”? Because I swear to god, I heard her do that with Nicole. Strange, but Marcialicious, and I think I approve.

Sorry, I just can’t support someone whose moves include MicFellatio™ and Poo On The Stage™. Plus, I giggled like a schoolgirl all the way through James Spargo’s performance – he has an uncanny ability to find and stare down whichever camera is on him.
I’ve lived in 11 major countries, and I am passionate about radio. This is the worst radio station, I must admit, in the whole wide world I’ve ever come across.
The lady host admits having sex at the age of thirteen on air. Nice example being set for our young kids and coming generations.
The male host has no control over his mouth, and usually poo comes out when he speaks.
I really hope there is at least one person, not full of shit at the Australian Media & Broadcasting Authority who takes appropriate action, making this an example for others to learn from, as a good lesson.
Shame on The Australian Media & Broadcasting Authority to still let this be on air. UNBELIVEABLE.
