Australian Idol

Tonight’s episode of Australian Idol was an odd one. The cast from US hit series Glee appeared on the show, in the audience and they then had to suffer through the whole episode with barely a word from any of them. I was following Twitter during the broadcast to get a general consensus of what […]

 
I’ll admit I’m not a fan of either and Delta’s recent stint as a guest job on Australian Idol did nothing but cement my view that if she were chocolate she’d eat herself. It would seem - at least according to Twitter - I am not alone in this view and in fact, some hold […]

 
As with American Idol, Australian Idol has had its judging panel reshuffled due to the exit of Mr Nasty Kyle Sandilands. They’ve replaced the outspoken Sandilands with record exec Jay Dee Springbett, but what do you think about that?
I wasn’t really a Kyle Sandilands fan, I always found him to be obnoxious and full of […]

 
This seems so unlikely, but here goes. Rumor has it Paula Abdul will be replacing Kyle Sandilands on the Australian version of American Idol. Various sources are stating the singer is presently in talks and that an announcement will be made on August 23.

Australian Idol returned to Channel Ten Australia tonight with poor ratings, little excitement and no real plan for the future. The show dropped around 12.7% on ratings compared to last year and was even beaten in the early 6.30pm timeslot by Nine’s Domestic Blitz and Seven’s Dancing With the Stars.

Grant […]

Thank you to whoever had the idea to bring Cyndi Lauper onto Australian Idol as a guest judge and mentor for the week. The show was more interesting in the last two episodes than it has been the entire season.
Lauper joined the remaining contestants as a mentor, giving them helpful tips on how to improve […]

Don’t you just hate it when these people who get booted off Idol start saying how it’s a better move that they did because it would have probably ruined their musical integrity if they’d progressed in the competition?
Whether it’s the Australian, the American or the original UK version, there’s always one uppity little idiot who […]

 
If any of you have been watching the new season of Australian Idol, you’ll notice that there are changes in the judging line up this year. Oh yeah, it’s not that there’s new judges, although to be fair there may as well be.
Marcia Hines, the usually congenial fence sitter of a judge has come out […]
