Mmmm donutAnd then today, I tried to listen to the videos on the website but alas, the internet connection is just ridiculously slow. Ang, ang, ang!
A giant FAIL for me.
Say it like you mean it
I did however, see some pictures of Marcia wearing a puffy shirt:
Strut it, work it, own it.
And heard that Chrislyn got a touchdown from Guy Sebastian, the motown guest host. Even though she is having a 'hard time' on the show and was allowed to leave the Idol house to visit fam - "Hamilton was given special permission to travel home to Brisbane to be with her family and friends after concerns were raised that she felt lonely and ostracised from the other contestants." Harden the fuck up - puh-lease!
And Wes/Son of God/Jesus apparently rocked it. Marcia-God said: as a singer, you are a story teller. You tell stories. You have so many textures and colours in your voice. Boyfriend you have it down pat.
I shall save this show from' jumping the shark' if its the last thing I do.
Anyway, on the basis of next to zero knowledge, I hope Teale/Jabba, Monkton no 2 and Shearer are in the bottom 3. With Teale to go buy-bye.

Here are my 2 bobs worth:
The girls are starting to dive. Soph looks so pretty, but sounds damn awful most of the time. Big contender to go tonight.
Other bottom 3's are teale - who tried to sex it up....but ah....best you stand still and try doing a bit more falsetto - it worked for tic tac teeth irishman 2 seasons ago, so it may just work for you.
And, the spano-man was a bit of a surprise. maybe it was because you went first and everyone forgot just how middle of the road, so-so you really are.
of course, krisslyn did get a touch down, after her brief respite during the week (btw, good to see that you're relying on the Sun-Hun for your news these days Kid A.)
and, i hate to say it, she was pretty good - thankfully she didn't take the ever-maturing and less annoying than i ever remember him Guy S's advice - which was to dance - because for the Big K, it would have bean more of a wobble than a dance. i must say, i think she has put on more weight since the show started. Clearly, in today's pc world no one has the guts to take her up on it. Come on Kyle, throw yourself in some hot water. Use the excuse that youare concerned about her health.
But for mine, teh show highlighted just how far ahead of the pack monkey man (Wes)is. "Spellbinding" was the word Marcia used. and i was actually entranced too - the boy with the golden locks is GOLD!
The only thing that will stop him could be if one of the other hacks gets better and pips him at the opera house - so, who could that be?
Big K - no.....she's too hit and miss.
Shearer boy - the loveable larrikin is clearly the judges favourite (sounded so avg, but got kudos for going out of his comfort zone). and he doesn't seem to fall in the bottom 3, so i'm tipping he could go close.
Rashani - sorry sister....you were abysmal last night, but glad to see you avoided bottom 3, as you i think you could be the real deal if you just stopped with all the 'vocal gymnastics' as our judges would call it.
Soph - so cute, shame to see you go having made the trek from London, but let's not forget this is a singing contest after all.
Teale - sounds crap and looks so uncomfortable on stage, will australia plz send you back to outback qld where you clearly belong.
spano - every season we have a rock dude, and every season he leaves about 5 weeks out.
have i forgotten anyone? well, probably, but only coz there's not much worth remembering anyway.
look fwd to your wrap next week
Thanks anonymous.
191010 Wes I say. I have a feeling that Fatty is almost certain to get no 2. Recall that Casey Doona van - the BIG winner of Season 2, aka the golden ages of AI - also was quite patchy, like Chrislyn (see last week's ep for the Don't Speak performance, now known as Don't Sing PLEASE). Doona Van's patchiness was most clearly illustrated on Beatles night where she did a literal 'lah lah lah' rabbit-in-the-headlight-I've-forgot-the-words to Eleanor Rigby. How could one forget about the great works of Father McKenzie??!
Anyway, the problem with people who are good that throw in the odd woeful performance is that the 'sorry' factor kicks in. Sometimes its not a bad thing - e.g. Celebration by Damien Leith in the resurgence days of season 4, who then went on to win (eat turd pie Jessica Mauboy). But sometimes its a very very bad thing - e.g. Rock DJ by Daniel Belle in golden ages rock night - grrrrr you were on my screen for way too long.
Anyway, I've gone off track a bit. My point is that Wes and Chrislyn are going to be at the opera house. I can smell it.
In other news, Ricki Lee is getting a divorce. I note that she doesn't look particularly sad about this?? She was only married for two seconds anyway.
Till next week!
