Australian Idol Top 10: By The Hair Of His Flynny Chin Chin
September 24th 2006 13:30
#1 songs = brilliant right? The Crazy Frog Song, Teletubbies Say Eh-Oh and Mr Blobby are examples... so to answer the quesion, the quality of these songs completely matches tonight's 4 1/2 total performances.
Klahnssyh Keogh
Shania Twain – If You’re Not In It For Love
Klancie starts weakly but soon bucks that up to feeble. She has no Shania attitude, and considering how cutesy Shania “So you’re BRAD PITT??!?” Twain is, that’s pretty bad.
She completely lacks dynamism but in retrospect, compared with the others, she wasn’t that bad.
Marcia empty quote of the week #1: “It’s hard to move when you’re not used to moving”
Damien Leith
Garth Brooks/Ronan Keeting – If Tomorrow Never Comes
I enjoy his crisp Irish pronunciation and that he has a purer voice instead of the over-vibrato of some of the others. This one was for the mums though. It’s like that mosquito ringtone that only under 22 year olds can ‘truly’ appreciate.. but for post pregnant people.
Marcia empty quote of the week #2: “That was BING”
Lavina Williams
Thelma Houston – Don’t Leave Me This Way
Once again Lavina proves she has a voice and lungs. An X-ray wouldn’t be as loud but she’s good. She makes facial seizures before the big notes, I’d warn her about them but she looks like she might mug me then spew acid on me in her true form.
Chris Murphy
Phil Collins – Against All Odds
Chris is above average, all I was thinking during his performance though that he looks like a chunky pale Rafael Nadal.
Dean Geyer
Goo Goo Dolls – Iris
I didn’t think it was allowed to sing the same song for three weeks in a row. He’s definitely better than last year but he doesn’t BRING IT for me. What he BRINGS are Mary-Kate and Ashley DVD mysteries for tween girls.
Marcia empty quote of the week #3: “Don’t compete with anyone but yourself”
When James and Andrew tweedle deed and tweedled dumbed their way for a nasal post mortem interview, Dean said about the judges “They’re really established in their… <pause> y’know…”. If that was intentional, he just became my favourite.
Mutton
Hoobastank – The Reason
BYE BYE MUTTO. He had some nice tones in his voice today but apparently that was attributed to amassing bacteria. Otherwise it appeared even his inward rising eyebrows were trying to escape his sing-hole.
Marcia empty quote of the week #4: “I’ve sung with that voice”
Jessica Mauboy
Christina Aguilera – Beautiful
“A Touchdown” is such an American name, they should call it "A Try" or something. Either way, Holdon didn’t need to grind his joints standing up for this one. It was a really good performance but it’s an example of how the quality had decreased since previous years. Snaps to Jess in any case though.
Marcia empty quote of the week #5: “Not only do we feel you when you sing, we also hear who you are.
Bobby Flynn
Christopher Cross - Arthur's Theme
It was silly when the performance expert person was telling them how to feel and exactly how to stand. That won't improve his natural stage presence.
Bobby Flynn and his chin clearly weren’t in unison today but I think it was just a B-rate Bobby Flynn today, not personal problems. Instead, sage Sandilands starts badgering him to reveal them. I had hoped Bobby Flynn would have said “Uhhhhh yeh umm I have explosive diarrhea” in front of Australia… then James would have a reason to stare with painted-on gnome eyes.
Ricky Muscat
Chicago - Hard To Say I'm Sorry
Watch out for Ricky and his famous crazy eyes. The crazy eyes which lasted 2 seconds; once. That just shows a severe personality void when an occipital gesture has become his character. He needs to develop Lupus or something so his story arch has the roundness of a Rodin instead of the roundness of Mary Kate Olsen. (sorry I was just watching an Olsen biography)
It's funny how he looks like how he's about to cry though after criticism though.
Lisa Mitchell
Vanessa Carlton – 1000 Miles
WTF WAS THAT? She’s more distinctive than a lot of them but she thrashes around in a ankle-high mud-pool of decorative talent. She’s got something but her flap A doesn't fold into slot B very neatly, instead it leaves us all unsatisfied and ringing Ikea for spare parts. Hmm... that sentence lost itself in the middle somewhere.
Feel sorry for Bobby Flynn? Did Jessie deserve her try? Lisa: Love her or hate her? Add a comment...

One has won Roland Garros twice, the other likes denim jackets.

I think Chris is always average.
I think Bobby's problem is that he freaked having to show some real emotion. It goes beyond that crazy-hair eccentric persona which he has used to bury and disguise his unexamined issues- Is that what Kyle wanted to hear?!? Eh, what the hell do I know, but jeez, forgetting words just looks lazy. As does sounding like you got up to sing after a long nap.

Idol....hmm not sure if it is really her thing, she looks kinda lost most of the time. Last night was cool, i think she should leave and get stuck into doing an album and forget the "How to move" shit. Idol is a bit "trained monkeys" at times. Anyway its great for a bitch on a sunday night.
Love you marcia quotes.
oh side show bob is ok, at least he is different to general idol fodder, jess well she is a smiling bush doll, i think yes just to stick it to bubba, i thnk he turned that whole flabby belly thing back on her, and she let him.

I love Bobby and I think his performance was still miles ahead of most, because he's interesting, distinctive and melancholy. His act of being 'lost' is appealing - afterall with those looks what else can he be? Listen though, if you flatten his hair out he looks like that idiot animated David Tench guy. I swear to gawd!
