AimzsterYour Top 12 of Australian Idol is a bit disappointing
September 4th 2006 11:15
So the semi-finals of Australian Idol are over for another year and we have our top 12. I found the Wildcard round to be so boring than the previous years. None of them took up the opportunity that it was a Wildcard round and it was their last shot to get in so they should TOTALLY change themselves. But did they listen? No, of course not. They just sang THEIR own style. One perfect example is Brendan Boney who mashed up two songs. Now, Kyle hinted the other night that they sing popular songs. So Brendan mashed up Maroon 5’s This Love and Rob Thomas’s Lonely No More. Both songs are very popular on mainstream radio so technically they are so well-known he must kill these songs even more by singing it. I wasn’t impressed.
I’m sorry, but this batch of wildcards was so mediocre I turned off the TV after Klancie Keough. Now this girl is worthy of her spot because she totally let herself go in this round to try and get in. To me, Klancie is the new Cosima De Vito, only more country. I’m glad she’s in the top 12. But one thing she can work on is her movement whilst singing. She looked a little robotic performing Gretchen Wilson's Redneck Woman.
But the new way of ripping someone’s dream away when they were so close is entertaining for us, but awful for the contestants. Seriously, what was Ten thinking? By implying that the lesser was sooo close to getting in only to be upstaged by the person standing next to them is cruel. It’s better they have the benefit of the doubt than to think the judges chose one over the other when they were close. Gosh, I feel for Chris Graffiti who was trying to keep it together in the aftermath. I bet he bawled afterwards.
And this year 2 of the contestants share the same DNA with previous Idols. If you don’t know those two in question are Lavina Williams and Chris Murphy who are siblings to 2005 runner-up Emily Williams and 2004 top-12 finalist Courtney Murphy. Now I don’t know how far Chris can get through but I can already tell there’s enormous pressure on Lavina to do well and reach as far as Emily. I hope she does though cos she’s one mixed-bag that judges are looking for.
Since the blog has taken a bit of an Idol turn, the next one will feature Laguna Beach!
Oh and condolences to the Irwin family. What a big shock for everyone.
