Aussie Idol 2007
I only just started watching Aussie Idol'07 today (beginning of Top 12), which is saying a lot since I usually start watching from beginning - where they start from all the crummy people in the ridiculous costumes screaming like banshees and what not. But I'm getting old and the show is getting boring so I cannot take all that nonsense anymore so I thought I'd wait for the Top 12 to be uncovered before I committed myself this year.I was surprised this year because the Top 12 all have different personalities and they are extremely diversified in their singing styles & genres. It is quite interesting really. There are even a handful of 16/17 year olds who are pretty talented.My eye is on Matt (17) and Tarisai (20) at the moment based on this one performance that I've seen...although most of the contestants were pretty good. Matt has this X factor and calmness that is very credible for a 17 year old. Tarisai is awesome. Her voice is unbelievably powerful and she hits every note on the dot, no matter how hard it is. *All the contestants actually look much better on tv than in their pictures *lol*Matt
Tarisai
I think Lana (17) is so beautiful and her voice is very sweet but she has no stage prescence, which is unfortunate. Compared to the other girls, her voice is rather weak & she looks nervous all the time.Lana
I think I know who the bottom 3 will be: Carl, Marty & maybe Lana...the last one is hard to tell because Lana is pretty so people will be voting for her but this bottom 3 is based on the 3 people who gave the worst performances for me. I think Ben (17) is a hot contender as well. He's got a cute smile and nice eyes and he sings pretty well (though I was shocked to hear his voice cuz it really sounds uber feminine).Ben
I think a good performance comprises of someone who has great stage prescence, creativity, a great voice and good clothes.All in all, today's performance was pretty good - I'm impressed. The contestants seem to get better each year. Hopefully it continues to gets better from here.
