Your EYES!!!!
Oh dear, I’m terribly sorry. The blog host had a lie down over the weekend, and I’ve had the flu resulting in prolonged exposure to Paris’ faux boobery.
And I haven’t even got a proper post written, I just had to move it all on down the page a little. Tell you what though, Australian Idol this year is totally awesome! Last year sucked! It took Owy and I fifteen minutes to remember who won last year! But this year! WOW!
I heart Bobby! I totally hope he comes second and builds a sustainable career for he is a true genius! I am off to centrebet now before the odds crash!
And Ricky is too cool for the factory! Save him from Werribee!
And little Jessica! Lovely! Can genuinely sing really good!
Oh Damey Boy, I heart you, as you are a bit of a dag and can sing your head off.
Klancie sings Dolly Parton! Yay! With less boobtacular outfits! Yay! But has no chance! Yay
Dean appears to be creaming the adolescent girl vote and fair enough too as the man has bone structure that would make a supermodel weep!
Lavina! Not just Emily’s sister! Can also sing and prance around, even if (as Kyle said) her hat made her look fat!
Mutto. Meh. But, in a change from previous years, he is not by any means terrible.
Chris. Meh. But, in a change from previous years, he is not by any means terrible. Also with a sibling finalist, Courtney. Still, I think it shoulda been the Other Chris.
Lisa is not “the best thing musically to ever come out of Australia”, at least not for a very long while. I also find her slightly Yankesque intonation a bit irritating and sense I shall weary of her far earlier than many others. But shucks, she’s no Hayley.
Reigan. Parents can’t spell. Keeps picking tricky tricked up songs and is a bit up herself. But can sing.
Joseph is 18, loves his mum a great deal, and can sing and dance a treat. And has dimples. The Nanas of Australia could get him over the line if only they can work out how to send a text in time. Also, must stop calling him “Chocolate Gatehau” out loud.
Even the judges are better this year. Kyle has spoken some sense and is keeping the misdirected and overdone bitchslappin’ under control. Marcia has developed another vertebra or two. OK, Mark did say someone’s outfit “sent a fire down my wire” which made me sick up in my mouth a little bit, but when is anything perfect?
Friends, I don’t know if I shall speak often of Idol, but it’s important people know where you stand and the fake boobs had to go.
For myself, I am hoping from further updates from the hilarious Bland Canyon, and give thanks to comicstriphero for sending me there.

I liked the country girl singer doing “Joelene”.
“Joelene, Joelene, Joelene, I’m begging of you please don’t take my man”. Such fun.
I liked Bobby doing Chisel, but….
My friend volunteers at folk festivals and Bobby was her assistant at the Dreaming festival. The words she used to describe him were “hippy trippy”. Like she can talk (Love you, June).
I think Ricky is too much like so many others we have heard before. Mutto should be put down, and the others. Yeah, I like whiny girls with sensitive voices, but Lisa’s version of Crowded House was blah!!!!!!!!!! Oh Dean brings out the rampant middle-age heterosexual in me (she’s been hiding for a bit, so thanks Dean).
Was devastated that girl ruined a George song. Awful.

Joelene is a genius song to pick – not just because Dolly Parton is a genius songwriter, but the White Stripes have done an uber-cool cover recently.
As for Dean, hearing him thank God and reading about his virginity on the cover of a supermarket tabloid mag settled me down a little. But I know what you mean! Although I’m a little bit surprised that your fires could remain unstoked while being referred to by Andrew Bolt as “lustrous”.

My big three are Bobby, Lavina and Lisa. Although I thought she did a great Joelene, I totally do not like Klancie as a performer. Yik. Dean can’t sing, which, I know, I know, is the wrong criteria. Ricky is fab. Damien is fine, but really – who cares? The rest are fine without being either/or.
But those top 3 are great.

Haven’t watched it this year. Only one reason for that: Kyle Sandilands. The man makes me want to throw the nearest brick through my telly. Bring back Dicko!

Oh, he’s much improved Kate. They must have given him bile pills or something. Also, you can now text your own anti-Kyle bile* to 199-judges for some poor monkey to read.
* heh

Goodness, what a fangirl you are (not that I can speak after last year).
We are all going for the Territorian here…it’s exciting for us!

Kyle still pretty, although at least he’s honest, unlike Marcia.
As for my fires, stoked or otherwise, I think we will leave them alone.
September 12th, 2006 at 4:54 pm
I didn’t mean to say Kyle’s still pretty. Gosh, what a mistake. He’s still pretty crap….
September 12th, 2006 at 8:00 pm
Klancie for me, or Lavinia. The rest of them I can leave happily. Although I do like Courtney’s brother, obviously just not enough to remember his name though. Lisa just doesn’t do it for me at all.

It was Mark Holden who was the cause of my not watching this year. A couple of really nasty comments during the first couple of auditions were enough for me.
I realise it’s ‘show business’ but he probably gave a couple of kids psychological problems they will carry for life.

DARLENE SAID KYLE IS PRETTY! And she likes Barnaby Joyce, so I find her denial unconvincing.
Ron, I agree, there has been some really thoughtless nastiness from Holden this year.
September 13th, 2006 at 5:58 pm
Kyle has really found his stride this year. Mark Holden is just wrong in too many ways and Marcia needs to be less blandly encouraging. These people need constructive criticism otherwise they will keep doing what they are doing, ie: getting nowhere.

In alphabetical order: Bobby, Damian, Klancie, Lavina, Reigan, Ricky. The rest of you may go. (Even if you are nowhere near as ordinary as last year’s top twelve.)
I would like a real musician to win, which narrows it down to Damian and Reigan.

Zoe, you minx?
By the way, is Zoe is the sexiest minx on the blogosphere?
Vote for Zoe if you love Zoe.
September 14th, 2006 at 1:48 pm
That was bad (see Zoe, I don’t think Kyle is pretty, I just write too quickly).
I meant to say, “Zoe, you minx and by the way is Zoe the sexiest minx…”
September 14th, 2006 at 1:54 pm
‘sokay Darlene, I have that effect on people …
September 16th, 2006 at 7:44 pm
which one is the virgin?
September 17th, 2006 at 9:03 pm
Dean, the one with the bone structure and seth efrican eccent.
September 19th, 2006 at 8:14 am
I can advise that I’m over Dean. He’s all dreamy eyes and no substance. Lisa has proven that she’s only good for one genre, which is fine but not for Australian Idol.
Loved the country girl again and the way she subverted the traditional gender mores of that song she did. Yee haw.
September 19th, 2006 at 9:35 am
Well, and ta-ta Reigan. Not surprised, but a little disappointed. I thought if she could get over being cool and up herself she could do something interesting – she can certainly sing. Agree re Dean and Lisa (whose “whoo-ho-ho-hos” were sonambulant). LOVING Ricky this week.
