It's season of the Idols again.
For Australia, we are currently at the Top 10, unlike in Singapore, where I understand that the battle has already been shrunk down to the Top 2.
Australia has a great mix of talent this year, from Kelly Clarkson sound-alikes to U2 sound-alikes to Kasey Chamber sound-alikes to abstract-sounding-I-have-no-idea-who-sound-alikes...from boyband to rocker to queer (and I don't mean gay)...They are all excellent.
It's just sad though, that people who rely on their looks to get them to the top, actually manage to get to the top. They can sing, just that they can't sing as well as people who are less good-looking. But hey, that's the harsh, shallow reality of life isn't it? Looks get you everywhere, no matter how much we deny it. Well, almost everywhere. And then there are the girls. Some of them are gorgeous and can sing well and can't even make it to the top because a majority of the voting audience are screaming teenage girlies who'd rather spend that 55 cents on a hot dude who can't sing as well. I don't blame them - much as I'd hate to admit it, I've fallen into that category as well. I don't vote, but I have a soft spot for Dean, one of the contestants who can't sing as well (he can sing, just not as well as the others) but is the most gorgeous guy in the Top 12. Actually, who cares if he can sing or not?! I never listen to him sing because I'm always just too busy staring at his face!!
Meanwhile...anyone noticed that Singapore Idol's top 2 is a battle between 2 guys, 1 Malay and 1 Chinese again?!
Ahhh...the power of teenage girlies. My money's on the Malay guy, even though I've never heard him sing. He looks better.
