Australian Idol

[zipzap]

Only just started taking an interest but Stan seems to be streets ahead of the rest - when talking he seems like a complete meathead but when he sings he switches into this autopilot mode where he just soars. The others seem all so calculating and forced in comparison IMO. You can literally hear the wheels turning in their heads as they think "One two three step...get off the stoooool...NOW! High fives to the tweens...meaningful look...one two three step...smile!"

Agree. I like my bet.

[Baron Greenback]

Stan's a tosser. I hope he doesn't win.
Hayley's easily the best and I reckon she'd go off like a firecracker in the sack too!!

He is a tosser, but a gun.

Agree, Haylie is my favourite.

Marcia Hines just put JD in his place. lol

[CoverKing]

Who got knocked out this week? I just saw TOBY singing, WTF is he still on the show for?? He is shocking ...

Still think Ashleigh Toole (girl that came 12th) should be on the show...clearly better then most (not including stan and nathan) .

[A Mum]

Kate left tonight CK.

I think both of Hayley's performances were great tonight.

I'm still cheering for Nathan and James - still loving everything and anything they do !!

Agree re Toby, although a very lovely guy, think it is time for him to go,
however he hasn't been in the bottom three?? or if he has, hasn't for a while!

My daughter says she can't watch anymore, she likes all that are left and can't bear to see any of them leave

They seem to have about 2 dozen songs to choose from on that show. Hellelujah every bloody year. Aint No Mountain High Enough again?? And what's that? Toby singing Coldplay yet AGAIN? Truly the worst season of Idol ever and a fair indication it has run its course IMO

Either that or it needs a change of direction.

Toby Moulton has quit the contest tonight, citing a number of reasons for his withdrawal. Wasn't sure that he had the passion to be a singer among them.

[A Mum]

Yes Toby withdrawing from the competition.

He has come to realise that yes he can sing, but his true 'calling' is to be a teacher.
Also saying that he felt the others left had a lot of talent and he didn't want to be there as much as they did,
So felt he shouldn't be there.
He made a really honest/genuine speech - I thought.

All I can say I hope there's many more dedicated/passionate teachers out there like him.

Gave James a life line as they said going by the 'cards' James would have left tonight.

Like all 4 that are left, I think they are all very good in their own ways.

As much as (broken record) I'm hoping for Nathan - I think Stan and Hayley will be the final two.
Stan is obviously the favourite to win,
However I think Hayley is giving him a good run for his money!

Didn't really like tonights 'theme'

My baby boy...gone

[redandblack]

Such is life, A Mum.

I think James got the sympathy vote from last week.

Stan's miles in front of Hayley and James. I thought Nathan was actually the best singer, but musical theatre might be his go.

[A Mum]

Yep - me and A Daughter will be first in line if he gets into any musical productions that hit Adelaide

Going on last weeks performances I thought Hayley would give Stan a run for his money,
But I think she's dropped off a bit.

Only two weeks left and then I can start going to bingo again on a Sunday night

[A Mum]

James gone.

Hayley and Stan left as the final two.
Either could win it - both completely different artists.

I think they will both get recording contracts no matter what.

IMO Hayley's debut single is better than Stan's though.

[silicone skyline]

You've gotta admit A Mum, my nose for this year's winner has been pretty spot on.

Nathan was NEVER going to win, Stan and Hayley were ALWAYS the best two in the competition.

[A Mum]

And there you are!

Yes SS you were right - I'm happy with how far Nathan got though.

Will keep my fingers crossed for you re Stan winning so you can collect on your $300.

[JK]

I haven't watched an episode, but have both covered so Im guaranteed a collect ... A mate put me onto Hayley and SS's conviction directed me toward Stan, luv your work people's!!

[A Mum]

If you don't mind me asking - what prices did you get CP
