AimzsterAustralian Idol 2006: Yay or Nay?
August 10th 2006 13:03
Australia Idol. Another batch of try-hards for us to endure for another year.
I just hope that those who vote this year choose someone who’s exceptional and spectacular with GOOD LOOKS. Yes, I’m pointing the finger at Casey Donovan. Sorry, but how can a girl who was barely an adult and somehow smokes cigarettes be an Idol for the youngens? I bet the voting public were all dropped on the head during the finals week that year.
Rumour has it that this year there are certain performers only making it through. Besides the usual criteria of having good looks to be able to milk it through publicity and promotions for the already number 1 single at the end, singers have to fit the ‘punk’ look, ‘dance’ or any other themes they wish to market. They’ve also attempted to make Idol look less manufactured by encouraging people to bring in their own instruments and songs to perform in front of the judges. But we all know that in the end they’ll sing pop songs and release a song penned by some European producer (like they did on Popstars by Scandal’us).
I intentionally by-passed the audition process because all the ‘lucky’ ones that make it through to the next round will be gone anyway. It only becomes good when they sing their own songs to fight for the top 12 spots. Or unless the judges can’t count they’ll include another and another to inch closer to the top 100 again because the singer that didn’t get through cannot be left behind because they were THAT GOOD (read: Roxanne).
But Idol isn’t as bad as X-Factor. Now THAT was awful.
