HOWEVER, I only ever wanted Bobby to come second as the idea of squeezing him into an Idol-winning-popstar world did not bear contemplation. I think he's taken all the good that Idol had to give him already.
(But Ricky's not so terrible, Pav. Idol has more to give him - he'll go on to be a minor recording dude (even if he wins) but at least won't have to work in a chemical factory anymore.)
All true, Z -- but I'm thinkin' strictly musical talent here for the moment. Ricky is sweet but is now well out of his league musically. Reigan did indeed seem a pain but had a fantastic voice.
I thought the James Taylor group number was really interesting in what it revealed about the various musical skills or lack of -- Irish Dude aced it and Lisa was also v. good, maybe the song suited her voice. Jess was carefully not given any harmonies -- and it's now clear to me that she's not capable of carrying them -- Erina (sp??) was right, the poor child really can't sing reliably in tune. Nor apparently can she finish a sentence, or eat without ruining her ("her") clothes. Neither bodes well for stardom.
Littlefaeriegirl, if you realise your dream and get close enough to Dean to find out, I want you to come back and tell us what he's got in his hair.
Pavcat, as a sign of my great respect and affection for you I shall undertake to hunt down the answer from the colleague of mine who watched Sunday's show with Chanel (who has just moved in with his mate).
Might take a while, but I'm sure we'll find out. I get determined about the serious stuff.
Good golly, PC! You watch Idol? I thought you were above such things! (I'm not above such things, since I've barely missed an episode - sob! so many hours of my life I'll never get back!) If you haven't already found it, visit Petstarr at http://blandcanyon.blogspot.com.au for ze best line in Idol wrap-ups.

Oh, and Reigan sang truly awful songs and was up herself. IMHO.

Remember that most original singers get the flick on Idol by about round 5 or 6. Lee harding only got to 3 because of the Wiggle factor.
Yes, El, quite right. I am monumentally p*ssed off about Chanel Cole (#5) to this day.
Does anyone know what the real story was with her and Marcia?
'Do do do do'?

"And just in case you still thought it had anything to do with talent ..."
No, never. I always thought it was some kind of showcase for the judges. Not that I've actually watched anything more than the ads. Life's too short.
I thought you said you weren't going to watch this show anymore...
Hope you're not watching the "Idol's Choice" show that is on as I type.
Idols are singing their own 'songs'. Seems to me to just be 3 chords each and some bad teenage poetry.
Snore.
Idol's nothing to do with ability - its a popularity contest.

Redcap, there is very little that I am above, and a great deal that I am beneath.
I have had the honour of making PetStarr's acquaintance, and she is as much fun in person as she is en blogue.
