For those watching Aussie Idol.....

[cloverfdx]

Have you seen it yet Carol? *I am keeping quiet* .

[carole]

Yes I have, and I can tell you I am in mourning today, I cannot believe Courtney went, I really loved his gravely voice, I know Casey has a super voice, but I really cannot stand the girls personality, I know you like her .

I will be gutted if Anthony does not win this competition.,he is so the complete package IMO. GO ANTHONY!!!however it would not suprise me if Casey won, as the Australian public seem to really like her.

Thanks for keeping quiet all, must have been hard.

[catfancier]

how did you come up with your nickname? (just out of curiosity )

[cloverfdx]

Carol i too was sad to see Courtney go , he has an nice voice. I think Casey is finally coming out of her shell a bit, i am not sure if you see Inside Idol over in NZ but it was on the other night and Casey seemed to be loving the attention from the public and poor Anthony was mobbed by about 50 school girls LOL.

Yeah i was a little hard keeping quiet .

catfancier, i do Flyball (Dog Sport) with two of my dogs one being Clover when i joined PT she had her Flyball Dog Excellent Title so i just chose cloverfdx . She now has her Australian Flyball Champion Title.

[carole]

Yes I agree she does seem to be getting a bit better, but I still just don't think she has what it takes to be the Idol, because of that mainly, her size really does not matter, as look at Rueben and the English girl who won, (although I heard there was some trouble over the English girl) not sure what , maybe our English friends can enlighten us here. I think it was to do with her weight issue.

I just can't take to her, but she sure has the voice, no disputing that, but it is the overall package they look for really, oh well we shall just have to wait and see what the Australian public vote, and you will have to keep silent again for at least a week after the next two shows lol. pretty please.

[cloverfdx]

LOL no problems, i wont say anyting . Tonights show was realy great, i hope you enjoy. I cannot wait untill the grand final, it will be interesting.

[carole]

I have got to wait until thursday or friday for that show and then either this sunday or next for the big finale, not sure, would have to check my TV guide, but haven't got it handy right now., sure looking forward to it though.

[catfancier]

Hey Carole I know there is a live finale next this coming Sunday night, so I guess all us kiwis and aussies will see then!


Oh and cloverfdx - the reason why I asked is because I have family in Oz who's last name is clover - then I realised you were from Victoria and they are in Brisbane, and didn't own any border collies (there was a german shepherd though).
PS: Congrats on the Champion title! Go Clover!

[cloverfdx]

The grand final starts in about 2 and a half hours , i cannot wait. Go Casey!

[carole]

Cloverfdx, we are getting to see it live as well, I am just killing time until it comes on, I am so excited to see who wins, GO ANTHONY, he he.

[cloverfdx]

Yay, i wont say anthing until i know that you have seen it.

[carole]

Ah well, tis all over now, you will be thrilled your Casey won, I believe the voting was close, well she is what the Australian Public wanted, certainly not my pick, but she does have a wonderful voice and I had resigned myself to thinking she would get it, the show ran longer than it was mean't to like three quarters of an hour, and I was almost asleep, it went from 9.30 pm until 12.30, I was beginning to wish I had taped it.

I still wish Casey all the best in her musical career, I did feel sorry for poor anthony, they kinda shoved him out straight away, they did not do that on NZ idol, its like your'e a loser, so cya, bye.

I found the show a bit long and tedious.

Was good to see a female win for a change though.

[catfancier]

Yep *long and tedious* described it well - I couldn't believe how late it was when I went to bed... and i get up at 6am! Oh well, Casey won. I'm sure Carole that Anthony will have a number of singles and probably an album as well, it just won't be produced by the same people as Casey's. I hope she has the energy to keep up with the undoubtedly hectic schedule she will have to keep.
I would like to hear more from Anthony though so I will be waiting for his single to come out!

Well done Casey

[cloverfdx]

I did feel sorry for poor anthony, they kinda shoved him out straight away, they did not do that on NZ idol, its like your'e a loser, so cya, bye.

Yes i noticed that aswell, it was very harsh . And yes i was thinking it would be over in a couple of hours, 3 hours later and they were still dragging it out.

The single is being released on Monday, should be interesting.

[carole]

I heard Dicko had health problems that is why he is leaving and not doing it anymore SAD, I like that pommy, even if he is full of himself, anyone know what is wrong with him? I wonder who they will replace him with.

Can someone also tell me if Mark Holden was part of a band or a solo singer,? I remember him well, but for the life of me cannot remember those details.

Yep I am sure Anthony will do just as well, funny thing about Idol winners, you never hear much about them after it is all over and the first single is released, like i don't hear anything about Ben Lummis now do you Rochelle?

I think the new single is ok, but I won't be buying it, even if Anthony was singing it, not my type of music, I reckon its a little old fashioned for Casey as well. Just MO.
