Note : These posts are just copy/pastes of what I post to australianidol.

Wildcards are always interesting. Who you loved previously drops a bomb and people you didn't think much about amaze you.


Song Choice
Doobie Brothers - Long Train Running
I have a friend (who has tried for Idol twice) who sings this song a lot at karaoke.
Singing
He really needs to articulate a little better.
Wardrobe/Styling
Those shoes, the spac dancing, hrm...
Stage Presence
That dancing and head tossing bugs me.
Overall Performance
There's something about Jack that really weirds me out. Tonight was better than his previous performance but still, not for me.


Song Choice
Oh Husny, I so wanted you to do Michael Jackson or Prince.
Singing
What is this? His singing isn't that good, which is why the dancing and look makes it all cool. Just standing there doesn't suit him at all.
Wardrobe/Styling
Give that man a yellow guitar, ala Prince.
Stage Presence
Where's the funk?
Overall Performance
What! WHY did he bow to the judges?? He should have done something funky. :(


Song Choice
Swing is funky, but he can't win Idol only doing swing.
*Chorus starts* OH THIS song! Never heard it as a swing song before.
Singing
Hrm. Mostly good, but off in a few sections. The song isn't awfully melodic.
Wardrobe/Styling
Skinny tie!
Stage Presence
He's in his element. But the air-trumpet was a bit weird.
Overall Performance
Maybe I shouldn't have an Overall Performance section.


Song Choice
Candyman...
Singing
Would be nicer if there were a few more lyrics.
Wardrobe/Styling
The outfit was appropriate. ;)
Stage Presence
Yeah, she had it.
Overall Performance
Wow. Swing and Boogie-Woogie Bugle Boy, I like these theme.

Re: Singing Mum crap - my ears are now bleeding.

Song Choice
Dolphin's Cry. Interesting, and better for him methinks.
Singing
He's a good singer.
Wardrobe/Styling
He looks a lot more relaxed tonight.
Stage Presence
Rockin'
Overall Performance
Big improvement.
And it's nice to see he's well spoken. Unlike some of those already in the Top 12 who are all umms and ahhs.


Song Choice
Lay Your Love On Me - I just find this song itself incredibly boring.
Singing
Doesn't give me the shivers.
Wardrobe/Styling
I like this new look where the hair isn't a mile high and he has a scarf.
Stage Presence
Daniel has stage presence by default due to his looks. The bouncing is a bit spaz though.
Overall Performance
He'll get through.


Song Choice
Feeling Good - WOOH! I love this song.
Singing
It's a good song for different kinds of singing and she nailed them all.
Wardrobe/Styling
Boob dress!
Stage Presence
Lovely
Overall Performance
I love how this song builds up. It's a good showcase.


Song Choice
Evie Part 1 - I reckon he can pull this song off better than Chris Murphy managed it.
Singing
He's gonna bust his voice up pretty quick I reckon. He's already losing bits.
Wardrobe/Styling
He's a rocker, he propels that.
Stage Presence
Great.
Overall Performance
I wish he'd done the last verse, but thank God he only did Part 1. :)


From tonight's performances I'd put through - Sarah, Dave, Natalie and Daniel
Overall I'd put through - Husny, Dave, Natalie and Carl
Who will go through - Daniel... I don't want to make calls on the others.

I'm still shat that Cheray didn't get in. :(
