Did You Enjoy Chris Brown’s Performance On Idol Last Night?

9:23AM Jess McGuire | Well, did you? Personally I find his music stunningly dull and I cannot fathom why he’s sold Dido-esque numbers of his album to my fellow countrymen, and I thought his live performance took crap to new heights, but what do I know? Nothing. I don’t even know why I’m here. I think my parole officer arranged something with the internet. Anyway, turns out one thing that most definitely is impressive about Chris Brown is the size of his… entourage. Recording his appearance on the Channel 10 talent show, Brown turned up on set with an entourage of 36, including his own barber, a trainer and even his mum (who doubles as his manager). His mother is his manager? Oh, that’ll end well. Right, Usher? More »

Australian Idol Round-Up: Final 10 Week

10:00AM Clem Bastow | Another week, another round of Australian Idol, this time with bonus Darren Hayes goodness and a bunch of “Aussie hits” (except when they were from New Zealand). What did the Final 10 sing? What did they wear? What did James Mathison have to say? What of Andrew G’s hair? For all this and more, let’s jump together into our traditional Monday discussion session. More »

Australian Idol Round-Up: Australia, This Is Your Final 12

9:11AM Clem Bastow | While it took team Defamer a little while to get over the tragedy of a) James Spargo not getting through to the Top 12 and a.i) James Spargo actually turning out to be a bit shit (although he gets points for saying his baby son could “put it in lots of different holes” when discussing what genre he tends towards), last night the 2008 Final 12 was revealed (eight of them have already been bought domain names by Sony BMG) and, gee whiz, what a bunch of champeens they are. (Also, the Cadbury gorilla ad ISN’T FUNNY ANYMORE, so imagine what it’ll feel like in two months’ time!) Let’s hold hands and head over the jump to discuss their prospects, shall we? More »

Australian Idol: It Can’t Be Long Now Before Things Actually Get Interesting, Right? Right?

9:15AM Jess McGuire | 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. More »
