Australian Idol - Final 7

It was a national disgrace last week that Lavina was eliminated from the finals. She was easily the best and most skilful singer - singer - of the entire lot. It just goes to show how twisted and wrong the whole phone-in and SMS-voting system is.

And then, to make matters even worse …




I could sense Bobby was going to be sent home this week. I could just sense it. Particularly after it was announced. Then it was really clear.

But even beforehand, I knew the idiotic teenage voters were going to be keeping crappy Lisa in there over mega-talented Bobby. Pfft.

Last week, Dean did a somersault and a handstand to prove that he was versatile. This week he sang a song again. Yawn.

Damien was excellent, Chris was actually pretty good, and Jessica was great – again. Ricky was crap-crap-crap (and knew it), and should have been the one to go.

But as it was down to Lisa and Bobby, it was obvious what was going to happen.

The good thing about it is that Bobby’ll have no trouble landing a recording contract, now. Or an audience to buy his albums. So he’s sitting pretty sweet, really. Lisa (the one-trick pony) needs to get further through the competition to help people remember her. So maybe it worked out better for everyone.

Except for the Australian public, that is.
