Australian Idol: Top 8 - Disco Fever IN THE AMPUTEE WARD!
October 9th 2006 01:20
Sorry yall, this recap is a bit rushed because of pressing uni work
Chris Murphy
Wild Cherry – Play That Funky Music White Boy
Chris does his usual limp weight-shifting around the stage. The song’s appropriate because it quantifies Chris’ lameness. It was almost as embarrassing as Ricky Muscat's tragic Land Down Under.
Marcia empty quote #1 – “You performed it!”
Latifa Williams
The Emotions – Best Of My Love
Lavina piles out from the side in an outfit which has her piling out from all areas. Her performance is a mess, she sounds strained and looks to be in sweaty pain.
Andrew G mentions that everyone was on their feet dancing, but maybe they were all doing awkward double-takes to get up and help her evident suffering. The real high point of this performance was Marcia:
Marcia empty quote #2 - “So nice to see you enjoy”
Marcia empty quote #3 – “Just sit back on it more”
Marcia empty quote #4 – “Your head opens up and notes come out”
Ricky Muscat
Cool And The Gang – Get Down On It
Ricky comes out with a belly shirt and a rainbow flag singing the usual aRgh&Bland, He’s pretty suited for this genre, in that he has little depth and he’s everyone cringes a little when they hear him. He’s my pick to go, Kyle compliments his appearance for the 5th week in a row and the oracle offers her usual pearl.
Marcia empty quote #5 – “All that you’re putting into it and all that you put into it was dynamite”
Damien Lieth
Cool & The Gang/Kylie Minogue – Celebration
“That was the worst thing in the world I’ve ever seen in my life ever” – I said when Kyle’s face appeared on the screen.
Damien jumps around like it’s boogie fever night in the amputee ward. It’s not awesome but it’s not as horrible as the judges make it out to be.
Marcia empty quote #6 – “Damian needs to find the performance that will make the song”
Marcia empty quote #7 – “All you can do is the best that you can do”
Lisa Mitchell
Blondie – Heart Of Glass
Here’s Lisa looking obese in horizontal stripes. She potters about and is clearly just thinking about GUITAR week when it's her time to shine. It’s embarrassing to be upstaged by backup singers. Not to mention even if she survives this week there’ll be huge expectations on her next week. So she’s setting herself to underwhelm.
Marcia empty quote #8 – “It’s in the era of disco and the same years of disco”
Dean Geyer
Gloria Estefan – Turn The Beat Around
Dean pulls out some flippy crazy gimmicks and it works like a charm. Even Kyle was getting out some spoons and tapping them against his fibreglass head to the rat-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat of the drums. I just hope he has enough bells and whistles in his South African bag of tricks to get him through longer. He COULD win based on the decreasing ratings leaving only rabid tweens voting (SEE: BB6 Jamie)
Marcia empty quote #9 – “Dean’s biggest problem is getting on stage”
The Giant Chin of Bobby Flynn
Rick James – Super Freak
REVOLTING PIDDLING MOUTH DRIVEL EQUIVALENT TO A GROANING DRUNK TRANSEXUAL STUMBLING THROUGH ITS BROKEN HOME IN THE DARK, STEPPING ON HER SQUEAKING CRACK-ADDICTED BABY’S TOYS WHILE ITS OTHER CHILD WEEPS OPENLY IN A DISTANT CORNER. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING
plus he looks like Elaine from Seinfeld dancing.
Jessica Mauboy
Yeah pretty good but WTF?? ?BOBBY FLYNN GETTING A TOUCHDOWN, MORE LIKE AN ANTI-TOUCHDOWN. EVEN SEIZURE JOE PERFORMS BETTER THAN THAT... Did I miss something? Were noise levels in my house dramatically distorted and what I saw was just that "BEEEEEEEEEEEP no signal noise" while Bobby actually did a phenomenal job???
I'm sure the judges are just trying to raise some excitement for show by running to extremes whenever they can. This is shown through Bobby Flynn's touchdown the massive panning of Damien plus letting the rest of them get away with absolutely lacklustre performaces.
Does Blobby Flynn deserve Mark Holden's standing up?

Damien's effort was bad, but it wasn't as bad as Kyle and Mark made it out to be. At least he gave it a go.
Lisa - I cannot stand her. I've yet to see her do anything even vaguely worthwhile. She better be amazing with her guitar.....though I doubt it.
Ricky was actually more likeable doing disco than he has been throughout the entire competition. I'd rather stab myself in the head with a fork than have to hear him do another RnB tune.
Chris - I don't really get why the judges love him so much. But I liked his version of Play That Funky Music. I thought Kyle hit on it perfectly when he said that Chris was channelling Jack Black. It kind of worked for him.
Lavina - perfect voice, but that's it. There's nothing likeable about her
Dean - nice to see him sing something other than alt-rock tunes. The 13 year olds will be sending their parents bankrupt voting for him.
Jess - Yeah, she was pretty good. Bad dress though. She's always pretty good if you ask me. And she's the only girl left that I actually like.
Guess it's a little late to protest that I don't watch the show isn't it???????

lol...good overview. I didn't think that Bobby was that bad but wasn't outstanding either. Loved the Marcia quotes. I actually thought Dean was okay even though I don't like him normally. it musta been the backflips.

This sounds like something at a poetry reading Bobby Flynn would attend for the sake of "the art".
I missed the show. I was getting drunk at a pub! (No I am not a drunk transexual...yet). Now I've felt I've missed out on Damien's dancing and Dean's backflip.
