Let the critique begin!

[gemfyre]

Live across the nation my arse - all this happened 2 hours ago for us on the west coast!

The critique starts... now. Eeeeeeeeee!

Haha, I have a crap TV too so high definition/surround sound... what? Hey, it's in colour, what more could I ask for?

Why is Corby wearing a blanket around his neck? Looks more ridiculous than Daniel's scarf.

Song choice

I Wish... AGAIN? Is this a standard for top 24 rounds now?

Singing

Big pass, lovely. Love the sweet notes.

Wardrobe/styling

No, hang on, it looks more like a picnic blanket, or a large tea-towel. WTF is that?

Stage presence

Yeah, he had some. Nothing spectacular.

Overall performance

Gotta see others before I can rate it.


Dicko's shirt is awful, he fails at wardrobe points.

Song choice

Interesting. I seem to like Pink songs, even though it takes me a while to warm up to them. He didn't do too badly at it.

Singing

Articulation dude... But nice.

Wardrobe/styling

I don't have anything nasty to say.

Stage presence

Surprising, he's not bad. (Meh, excuse the blah comments).

Overall performance

Yeah, average.

Agreed, it can't be directed at anyone - it's clearly written to Dubya.
Mark's comment - yes, no oversinging is GOOD!


****
Song choice

I don't know this song.

Buble, how predictable ;) I wanted to hear him do Feeling Good. I feel like such an old lady liking this music so much these days.

Singing

Okay, a guy who can go from playing brass to singing will have awesome technique. The breathing required.

OOh, I am impressed. Best so far.

Wardrobe/styling

Spiffin'

Stage presence

Simple but effective.

Overall performance

Way best so far. I wasn't expecting him to be so good.


***1/2
Song choice

Ooh, a good Aussie tune. Suits him.

Singing

Despite him doing rock songs, I can see him being quite versatile.

Wardrobe/styling

That damn scarf returns. And what's with the mile high hair?

Stage presence

He has it. The bouncing and the George Michael look are a tad scary though.

Overall performance

It was a bit, "read from the script".


****
Song choice

Don't know this song. Dicko was right, I had no idea that was rearranged.

Singing

Nothing technically brilliant but it sounded great.

Wardrobe/styling

OMG! The cassingle around the neck. He gets major points just for that. I adore his 80's flavour.

Stage presence

My gosh, what a performer. I hope he didn't push it too far. That head flicking could get annoying quickly.

Overall performance

Wow


***1/2
Song choice

I was wondering how long it would take until someone did this song. But it was good, this is a good song.

Singing

Yep, tick. Sung beautifully.

Wardrobe/styling

Cute.

Stage presence

Started boring but at least he took it somewhere.

Overall performance

Pretty average, but most have been tonight.


I'd put through - Carl, Husny and Jacob - because they're all interesting.

Who will get through - Matt, Daniel and Husny. Of course Matt and Daniel will get the pre-pubescent teen girl vote. It's Dean disease all over again.

carl has to get through because he is hot. hot hot hot hot hot!

husny i think may not get through because people will stuff his name up in the sms's and he will miss out on votes. he should get through because he ooozes personality... to put it diplomatically

junior was my friends fave, though i didnt think highly of him. she also liked jacob and said his choice of a more recent song would get him through.

matt was good, but i think he as later overshadowed by everyone else being good too

daniel sounded too much like diesel.
