BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Listonixio Fresh and Exciting
StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
WakenPayne Australian Idol, The One Show That Was Once On Australian Television That Shows Just How Much We Are Prepared To Listen To America's Taste And Copy It, I Won't Complain Whenever We Become Independent Its Visa Versa.I Just Have To Ask One Thing, Who Has Actually Been On This Show? I Am Trying To Figure That Out "Who Has Become Famous In Australia Yet Alone Worldwide Off This Show?" At Least With Ida Madsen From Denmark's X-Factor Her Record Has Gone To #1 In That Country And With Good Reason, In This People Sang And Won Then They Had To Deal With "Who Are You Again? I Think I've Seen You Before?" I Know No Artist Will Stand The Test Of Time(Thats Right, None.) But You Expect Someone To Last More Than Overnight.Overall If You Want Good Australian Talent I Suggest Listening To The Metal Band "Sick Puppies", Those Guys Are Fantastic.
exoticmonkey I love Australian Idol and if fact auditioned for it myself this year. It is a really great program and always gets an emotional response, even if the performances are verging on the banal. Each week you are found cheering for your favorite contestants on Sunday night, crying when they leave on Mondays (which from experience is even worse when viewed in the live audience) and learn more about them as people on Inside Idol on Thursday nights. I thoroughly recommend this fantastic display of human emotion. Enjoy the soaring heights that gain touchdowns and the shattering lows that show people the door. In 2003, Guy Sebastian was crowned the Australian Idol as was Casey Donovan in 2004. This year we have some real contenders with Anne Robertson, Dan England, Daniel Spillane, Emily Williams, Kate DeArauge and Lee Harding still in the competition after the shock departure of James Kannis (and all his lovable "Greekness") from the competition tonight. Enjoy the rest of season 3. In my opinion, this show is a lot better run and much more entertaining than other shows in the same genre like 'Popstars' (which was a huge flop in Australia) and 'Starsearch'.
lunchbox_snoogins Hey all, Im a big Australian Idol fan. i was just wondering where in Australia is everyone from, i come from Beenleigh (its between The Gold Coast and Brisbane) I so hope Guy wins and am so glad Cosima has left. i was so annoyed that Matt Chadwick didnt get further (he was 12th i know him and hes so sexy and talented.
twiggysayshi Here in australia we only just recently got our version of the "idol phenomenon" and it's gotten us all hooked. Sure there's the bad few apples that still think it's karaoke, when u can see the band every episode! This, like the other 'Popstars' and 'starsearch', is just a way of manafacturing pop artists, but it's gotten so much deeper than that with seeing the contestants perform on stage everyweek and have their songs touch us or make us cry, and we get disappointed when our favourites leave, or get in the bottom three. It's become such addictive viewing they need it on everyday of the week to keep our household happy!The show is much more than a reality tv karaoke, if we wanted that we'd switch over to channel 31 and watch 'Kangaroo Karaoke' ps GO MILLSY AND PAULINI!
