Here in australia we only just recently got our version of the "idol phenomenon" and it's gotten us all hooked. Sure there's the bad few apples that still think it's karaoke, when u can see the band every episode! This, like the other 'Popstars' and 'starsearch', is just a way of manafacturing pop artists, but it's gotten so much deeper than that with seeing the contestants perform on stage everyweek and have their songs touch us or make us cry, and we get disappointed when our favourites leave, or get in the bottom three. It's become such addictive viewing they need it on everyday of the week to keep our household happy!
The show is much more than a reality tv karaoke, if we wanted that we'd switch over to channel 31 and watch 'Kangaroo Karaoke' ps GO MILLSY AND PAULINI!

Seen ads for this show for years, finally decided to watch an episode. Low, sick 'entertainment' that is completely devoid of 'reality'. Basically a show that preys on low-talent dreamers and dangles a carrot in order to humiliate them for viewer entertainment while throwing Chemist Warehouse ads at viewers
in the break to make a shameless buck. These contestants have 0 chance of making something of themselves and everyone involved in the production of the show knows it. Maybe the worst culprits are the viewers that support this crap. Shame on the producers, has-been judges and sick viewers. The world would be a better place without this show and all it's vapid clones.
I refuse to watch anything with that hideous creature Kyle Sandilands in it. What a hideous excuse of a human being he us. He should be in jail, not on the television. Boycott this show to let the network know you refuse to support someone with such a cruel and awful attitude.
I'd be interested in watching if they got rid of him. I love Marcia Hines, but she has lost a lot of respect from me just by associating with Sandilands. In fact, everyone involved in the production of this series should be ashamed that they involved him. Stuns me that they are giving legitimacy to the human equivalent of a tapeworm.

Hey all, Im a big Australian Idol fan. i was just wondering where in Australia is everyone from, i come from Beenleigh (its between The Gold Coast and Brisbane) I so hope Guy wins and am so glad Cosima has left. i was so annoyed that Matt Chadwick didnt get further (he was 12th i know him and hes so sexy and talented.
Australian Idol is currently in it's second series and growing from strength to strength. With the appeal of a variety of song genres and a showcase of raw Australian talent, it is easy to see why this show is fast becoming a "must-see."
This year we've had genres such as Pop, R & B, Big Band (my personal favourite) and Australian- Made and of course the 60s, 70s and 80s. All of these genres have allowed us to realize the potential of these amazing performers (GO ANTHONY).
Not that this year hasn't had it's controversies. Few expected the departures of Daniel and Ricki-Lee in consecutive weeks earlier on in the season. Dicko also has had his fair share, announcing his planned departure as judge at the end of the series. All of the controversy, however, does not lessen the appeal of "Australian Idol", rather increasing it.
Overall, this year has been excellent, even better than last year.
