I was a little sad that no Spargosity entered the Top Twelve, but in part because they spent fully five minutes at the end of the show telling all the performers to come back next year, and he wouldn’t be able to because he’s 30. 8 Days without naming your son is a bit odd, though.

Awful lot of blokes with no discernible personality, though.

Please complete this sentence: ‘I first realised I wanted to become a professional singer when…’
I listened to Rick Price’s voice for the first time and craved to be able to sound so good like him and to do the things he can do vocally.
What is your favourite song? Please tell us why you love that particular song.
My favourite song to listen to is Incubus “Are You In”, I can never skip it no matter what mood I am in. But, my favourite song of all time, for all reasons is Rick Price “Heaven Knows”.

Ba-bow.

It’s all about Thahn I reckon. I am hanging for him to sing ‘Take The Pressure Down’ in Australian Chart-toppers week (or whatever variation of that theme they come up with).
And he will undoubtedly belt out ‘You’re The Voice’ on the Opera House stage.

Also, Spargo, I miss you, I love you, we barely knew ye. :(

Some I really like, some I was really disappointed because THEY got in, and my choices didn’t. But I’ve got a thing for Wes, hope he can keep growing and improving. I’m not a big Idol watcher, mainly listen to others and if they start to get excited (really excited I mean) I might give it a glimpse to see what the excitement’s about. But I did see and hear Wes and was totally impressed. But now its time for pressure and whether they can cope with that.

The domain names thing… well that’s understandable, because of what happened in the 2nd year There were problems re a COUPLE of domain names there, so SONY obviously want to go thru those again. Axle did good. Nice to see Carl, Guy Sebastian’s guitarist there too, clutching the guitar given to him by Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn, Lester Snell and Steve Potts when they were touring with Guy earlier this year. (Nice to know that there is much more to come on that score)

I think I already dislike Madam, which is what my mother used to call me when she was really angry. There are spots ready and waiting for Sophie and Madam in the Young Divas.

I think Roshani is this year’s Chanel Cole: ie, the person who irritates me immensely yet other people inexplicably like her self-conscious, determinedly mediocre stylings.

At this stage I am most interested in Thanh and Jonny.

Wes – Yup, another of my faves, but everyone who loves Wes is too old to know how to use those newfangled sms machines…

Thanh – Agree whole heartedly with you – an Asian Farnham.

Tom – pfffft – OMGZ WE LUV YOU TOM!!!!! SMS SMS SMS

Mark – Mark has great potential, like him muchly.

Teale – Once again, in agreement with you, extremely forgettable.

Madam – Love her voice, but can’t get the image of those blowfly sunglasses out of my head.

Brooke – She’s got the look and the voice, I’m liking her more each week (despite the cutesy twitchy nose, not because of it).

Roshani – She’s got the voice, but for some reason I’m reminded of Apu from the Kwiki Mart every time I see her.

Luke Dickens – Loved the last song he sang, hated the rest. Time will tell.

Sophie – Sorry, I can’t stand her, but it looks like I’m in the minority. Couldn’t understand a word of her last performance, in the words of the immortal Holden, it was “goony goo goo”

Jonny – I was pissed when he got through, ’cause Nicole Banks was sitting behind him oozing talent and destined for nothingness. jonny-teale-mark-luke is too much testosterone for one show. Bring back Brooke Wilkie and Nicole Banks…
