The Potato Might Replace Kyle Sandilands On Idol

Another day, another potential replacement for Kyle Sandilands being put forward by the press. So viewers, how do you feel about Brian McFadden’s Irish mug appearing on your television screens with alarming regularity?

Reports The Daily Telegraph:

Kyle Sandilands’ great mate and avid supporter Brian McFadden is shaping up as the most likely replacement for the down-and-out radio jock’s job on Australian Idol.

A Channel 10 insider says of all the rumoured “short-listed” contenders for the gig – including Molly Meldrum, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Kate Ceberano – Mr Delta Goodrem is the most likely to occupy the panel seat, The Daily Telegraph reports.

He would accompany Marcia Hines and Ian “Dicko” Dickson as judges following the network’s decision this week to axe Sandilands from the talent show.

“He’s an accomplished singer, he’s witty, he’s fun and, to be frank, he has nothing better to do,” our snitch said.

Witty? Fun? Well, he is Irish so in that sense, most of what he says sounds delightful. But when you can’t hear his soothing voice, he sounds like a fucking tool.

This is my favourite McFadden Twitter update of late, though.

Way to dispel any nasty rumours about your relationship in 140 characters or less, Brian! Also! I laughed out loud (inappropriately) at the “deaths and other stuff” bit – honest to god, you could not make it up if you tried.

    Just when I thought I may be able to venture back to Idol they think of replacing one tool with another. I suppose his singing credentials are as legit as Kyle’s industry credentials.
    And by that I do mean non existent.

    Someone should remind this git pronto that Aussies do not take kindly to being lectured on how we should act by pussy-whipped boyband foreigners, especially when he is defending one of the countries biggest cock jockeys.

    The question should be “will Delta allow her house husband to appear on the show?”

    I suppose it all academic as I would rather have root canal without anaesthetic over watching a season of Australia’s latest fame-desperate song assassins, but are we really that bereft of credible music talent that we need to import the likes of McWhipped?

    Mad, happy and sad. Sounds Irish to me. *nods*

  • Captain Dagnon

    I *love* how this guy tries so damn hard to stay relevant here.

    From the half-arsed soccer shows to the support act for wifey’s tour…i heard they insisted, in all the press, that he be referred to as the ‘Special Guest’ (and not ’support’) – too demeaning to be the warm-up, huh?

    I hope he doesn’t get it, I really do. There’s no need to give him any kind of platform here because as far as i’m concerned, clutching at your fiancee’s coat-tails is more than enough sir, thank you.

    Look, i’m sure Molly Meldrum has too much integrity to become an Idol judge, but out of everyone I reckon he would get my vote. Him, or Julie Zemiro. That lady can do no wrong in my book (and knows how to rock a red lipstick).

  • It looks like they’re replacing Kyle with guest judges…

    I think Brian would be a good candidate. However i have nothing against kyle, he did nothing wrong and shouldnt be punished for this. Kyle was at least an HONEST Judge where as marcia is like “That was beautiful honey” i mean please………..

    Australia and other countries are in the habit of blaming other people for mistakes and ignorantly not looking at themselves for the blame.

    GO Brian!
