World Idol

[Portmagpies]

Can't say I'm looking forward to seeing Guy butcher 'What a Wonderful World.'

Louis Armstrong's classic, as well almost anything by Frank Sinatra, should never be sullied by karaoke singers. No make, that by any singer (Tom Burlinsone excluded).

World Idol TV

Idol On Fox

great - 8 guys, 3 chicks

and one's a boombah

might be more to look at with some of the female european judges. how come 90% of the contestants, hosts, and judges are male. WTF?

and Pete Waterman is one of the judges!

 

[PrideofSA]

Guys win more often in those things because the voting audience is predominatly female......they care more what they look like, than how they can sing....just look at that Shannon guy.

 

[Portmagpies]

Anyone catch him on Today Tonight?

Wooden.

 

[red+black]

it's sad that teenage girls vote for the young guys. what about their talent not their looks?

if it was up to me, i would have voted for chicks. for their singing abilities of course

Is this gonna be another 8-9 week event or is it just a one off show?

If Guy Sebastian gets just one kid to listen to Louis Armstrong sing What a wonderful world because he has sung it, even out of curiosity i think it is fantastic that he does it. How else is the younger generation going to even find out about such jazz classics?
I'd rather him do old classics then **** like 50 Cent.

World Idol - What a load of manufactured trash!!

 

[benny's buddy]

hehehe...makes me laugh how many posts are put up by people who 'don't' watch any of these type of shows.

seems like more posts from people who don't than people who do.

 

[Nic]

These judges freakin rule.

 

[Squeak]

Poland must be a zany place to live.

 

[Kid Dynamite!]

Every time I hear Will Young, I'm tempted to throw my tv or radio out the ****ing window.

I’ve reduced the list down to four realistic “World Idol” winners.

1) Representing the USA: Kelly Clarkson
2) Representing Canada: Ryan
3) Representing Australia: Guy Sebastian
4) Representing England: Will

My heart says Guy, but my mind says Kelly.

Guy makes me extremely happy to be an Australian. Australia is a very successful country for its small population. No matter the outcome, Guy is a winner in my eyes.

For sheer entertainment value the judges get my vote.

hey xbox

I agree with you about Guy, Kelly and Will. I thought the 4th best was the Norweigan guy Kurt who i thought was heaps than Ryan Malcolm

I too was extremely proud of Guy. Considering he was the last Idol to be selected and has had the least amount of time being an Idol he was amazing!!!!

Agreed, I couldn't stop laughing every time he spoke, but the only thing I can remember him saying was that he'd sue Will Young if he was a relative of Jim Morrison...can anyone else recall the stuff he said?

I think Kelly Clarkson will win, Guy had the potential to but needed a song he could really belt out imo.

He just went on about being an assasin killing this guys talent haha

Then speaking to Heinz Winkler he goes
"im only staying here due to gravitation and the conversion of the euro and the fact my plane leaves tomorrow"

So very much agree with you! I loved Kurt, Kelly and Guy, and I also didn't mind the rock guy - he had the guts to be different

And also interesting to note that by world standards, the Aussies are pretty smart!

Well that was a dull performance. Crap arrangement of a lovely song, and really didn't show off his true ability at all.

 

[ant]

Guy was definitely one of the better singers on the night, he performed excellently and showed off his charisma and charm as best he could. However, his song was a bit dull, mellow, and as one judge said, didn't really allow him to show his full abilities....basically, it wasn't a showstopper, and while most people would have Guy in their top bracket, he couldn't/didn't really knock their socks off. Hence, I don't think he'll win, though I'd like to be proved wrong.

Someone like Kurt from Norway would have a big chance, he's a bit of an underdog (the fact he's not 'good looking' will work for him), he's from an unassuming nation, his judge wasn't outlandish in his comments and most importantly of all, his performance was very strong (particularly of a song that would be hard to sing, I'd imagine?).

If I was gonna vote, it would be for him for sure.

The other thing I wanted to ask was whether anyone knew if the idols were going to sing again during the results show on January 2nd?

 

[wellsy]

A quick question, if we got someone from the UK to dial 00618 then the number of Guy would the vote count as you are dialing into australia and not using the uk number?

They would have something to stop that wouldnt they...well you would hope so.

I dont see how the amount of time hes spent being an Idol has anything to do with anything really.


Kelly was good as expected. Guy was alright. I thoguht the best one was the 2nd guy, Jamai will be glasses. He had an awesome voice.
