Australian Idol: Celebrating Mediocrity Since 2003

Not only did we finally get rid of Toby, but we also learnt that Kate Cook recently dropped her girlfriend only to hook up with the girl’s sister. I swear, this blog just writes itself sometimes…

Toby Moulton

Toby, mate, I could have saved you a lot of time by telling you that your future lied in teaching and not singing WEEKS ago. The fact that you had to come into my lounge room and BORE ME SENSELESS with you dreary, lifeless “performances” for the past few weeks to discover that for yourself says a lot about our celebrity obsessed culture. Toby will now become famous for being the singing teacher, who wasn’t really a very good singer in the first place.

James Johnston

And you have to feel sorry for young James. He would have got kicked out if Toby hadn’t self-destructed. But like the trooper that he is, he got up there and put in a couple of pretty good performances. The John Mayer track was BORING but he did OK with the Rob Thomas one. I think his future now lies in becoming a spokes-model ASAP.

Nathan Brake

Nathan cried whilst singing this week. I did too. His pitch was appalling… I think it could be his last week.

Stan Walker

OK, this is how weird this competition is… Stan sang a Miley Cyrus song and he was the highlight of the night. Pretty smart move really. All of Miley’s fans are the ones who are voting anyway so why not give them a song they all know?

Hayley Warner

I shouldn’t be too harsh on Hayley, being the only girl left and all… but she’s not much chop. And what’s with the hand movement? I thought she was having a stroke at one point.

I am trying VERY hard not to judge the judges…but seriously, Marcia, if all you can say is “thank You” all the bloody time, you ain’t really doing much actual “judging” are you?
