She thought it was a joke when she learned it would be an ABBA night. Definitely a lot of personality on stage but the vocal is too theatrical. Not the most exciting Chrislyn could do. Dicko: You always gave us moments when you hit the stage, but not so much tonight. I think your horrible outfit distracts audience from your actual performance. Marcia: Well done. Kyle: Some contestants will have fun like what you did tonight, some will be serious. So it's all good but you dress up too timid for a fun song like that, and I agree with DIcko that your top shows your belly there. Vocal: 7 --- Performance: 10 --- Song Choice: 7

She decided to get rid of the keyboard intro to suit her style. She's doing the acoustic version. Marcia: You look a bit like Agnetha (The blonde singer of ABBA), you really did a good job, I really like the fact that you tend to change things around. Kyle: Now you are showing what sorta artist you're gonna be. Those who love that will love that. Dicko: You're the first interpreter of the night, I thought that was smart. It's a song about desperate for a man. So, on that song you should be more intense, but well done. Vocal: 7 --- Performance: 8 --- Song Choice: 9

He says it is his chance to show his ballad strength. He's performing with the piano. Finally what I've been waiting for from him, the soft range of his voice. Also, there was no over the top choreograph like he always did. Standing ovation from the audience Kyle: That is perfect, no cheese. It was sincere, not acted like in the past. Stunningly wonderful. Dicko: For you, ABBA night is a jackpot. Perfect song choice, you got it wrong in the past, but not tonight. Marcia: TOUCHDOWN!! Come on everybody get up ! Vocal: 9 --- Performance: 8 --- Song Choice: 10

She wants them to totally love her performance or totally loathe it. Wow, she dresses up like Betty Boob, literally sexy. She's more playful this time around like grabbing a dollar note from the conductor's backpocket and the cameraman. Glad she steps out of her ballad mode. Dicko: I saw your rehearsal and knew it was going to be like cabaret. I was nervous that you might fail to pull it off but you didn't. Marcia: Fantastic Roshani, well done! Kyle: I agree with everything being said. Vocal: 9 --- Performance: 10 --- Song Choice: 8

As a kid, he used to be in musical drama and singing some Abba songs as well. He is performing with his guitar, and it sounds generic. Once again, too 'aussie rock'. Not my thing. Marcia: That sounded like it was written for you. Courageous, well done! Kyle: That was great, I love to hear that on the radio tomorrow. I was nervous initially because it's a love song to a Spanish man. Dicko: You look like a tennis player in the 70s. You turned it into modern rock. Very clever, mate! Vocal: 7 --- Performance: 6 --- Song Choice: 8

He definitely makes the song sounds more serious. I personally like his version but I can kinda understand if many disagree. Marcia and Dicko were particularly not impressed with his attitude, how he kept sulking throughout the week about having to sing ABBA. But I hate that they judged him based on that, rather than the actual performance. I thought it was still decent. Kyle: You did a reasonable job, I know you forgot you words a bit there, but you kept going. I think you could have slammed that a little bit more. I know u were not happy with the Abba theme Dicko: You've been sulking all week. Even ABBA outrocked you, that wasn't good. You're digging your own grave. I don't like your attitude at all. You ruined it. Audience: BOO! Marcia: I think you're the bomb but don't you ever let a song on top of you. Don't ever apologise. Vocal: 8 --- Performance: 7 --- Song Choice: 8

Her vocal is a bit weak at some spots. It's really weird with the music suddenly pauses and then goes again, and then pauses again and goes again. Dicko: I don't know why you guys are so scared about tonight's theme. I think you would have done better just with the original arrangement. You don't look like 100% comfortable. It wasn't that bad but try to toughen it up. Marcia: I can see you trying to bring the clubby feeling into the song. But you don't really need to do that, you can just sing it. But you had fun, well done. Kyle: I actually enjoy it, but kinda agree with Marcia and Dicko. But I wish you should just take control. If you disagree with some of the decisions made by the musicians or stylists, take control! Vocal: 6 --- Performance: 6 --- Song Choice: 8

Well, I thought it was going to be excellent since he is practically the only person who's very vocal about his excitement doing an ABBA song. But that was mediocre. Marcia: That's the happiest and most comfortable I've seen from you. You sang it beautifully and so were the ladies (background singers). Kyle: I think you're a supreme vocalist, you're a contender popped out of nowhere. Dicko: I love the fact you're looking forward to this night, but why did you choose that song because that's one of their weakest song? ABBA even said they didn't like it. On the plus side, your voice is getting better and better. Vocal: 8 --- Performance: 6 --- Song Choice: 4

As usual, he's growling again. Finally the judges have the audacity to criticise the boredom that is his vocal. Kyle: I hated the first 20 seconds, and then it turned good but you eliminated that "A ha" part, so I was disappointed again. But it was a nice version. Dicko: You took that song into a dark place, ABBA meets Wolf Creek. But you have to discover your sweet voice, it will enable you to lift on the chorus. Marcia: You sing well, but give light and shade, more versatility in vocal. Vocal: 7 --- Performance: 7 --- Song Choice: 9 Last Edited By: kennethp21 10/05/08 6:59 AM. Edited 1 times.

I lovvved that version. I liked Mark too, the fact he threw a hissy fit over it being Abba week makes it even better. Shows that he is true rock and roll \m/ Thanh was better than usual. I'm glad they gave Luke the pimp spot cause that might be the only thing that saves him. Cause the performance wasn't very good. I think Madam will go

That was his best yet. Chrislyn and Mark were okay. Everyone else was meh or boring. Poor Madam. I didn't think it was that bad, but I think it'll send her home. Going into the Top 12, I thought it was Madam who would kick ass and Roshani who would lose steam, but I guess it was the other way around.

Why are so many people releasing Greatest Hits for no reason these days? Shannon Noll is releasing a Greatest Hits album too. He's only had 3 CD. He's had like 10 #1s or some shit too, but still.

She claimed the Young Divas were bitter when hit-maker Ricki-Lee Coulter left. Mauboy was brought in to replace Coulter, joining Paulini Curuenavuli, Emily Williams and Kate DeAraugo. "When Ricki left, there was something crazy going on. They hated each other," Mauboy said. "They were upset. She left the three of them on their own." Coulter denies the claims. Her tenure with the Divas was short-term, she said, and a solo career was always a priority. "The Young Divas was supposed to be four solo artists who came together for a tour, then went back to their solo careers," Coulter said. "People want to say we were bitchy and hated each other but, really, I knew I couldn't do the Young Divas and my solo career at the same time." Coulter said she and the Divas have not made contact since she left. Mauboy said Coulter's exit impacted on the Divas' willingness to guide their newest recruit. "They had to teach me when they'd be in a really bad mood about Ricki," she said. In August, Mauboy and Curuenavuli also left the Young Divas to focus on solo records. Williams and DeAraugo will continue as the Divas. Coulter, now a co-host on Australian Idol, will soon release a greatest hits album. Mauboy is also set to release an album titled Been Waiting. Her first single, Running Back, features US rapper Flo Rida. Greatest hits already? lol poor kate and emily not having any luck with pursuing solo career I only read this now. Poor divas. This is all Amborely's fault. It always is. She ruins EVERYTHING!

Posts: 4936 (10/05/08 6:23 PM) OMEDETO, CATHY!! Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	The odds: Spoiler [+] Madam: 4.25 Mark: 4.50 Teale: 5.00 Thahn: 5.50 Sophie: 5.50 Luke: 11.00 Chrislyn: 15.00 Wes: 31.00 Mark/Madam have recently surged up, Mark moreso. I hope Mark leaves because he's capable of a comeback. Madam is in a downward spiral and her boot is inevitable. I actually now think that Sophie can go as far as top 4. Teale, Thahn, and kinda Luke (although he's emerging) are cannon fodder. Madam is in a downward spiral and Mark is beginning his. The front runners are Chrislyn/Wes but Roshani seems to fit the mold of most the winners. So why not have Sophie top 4? This episode was forgetable. Sophie didn't moan as much through the song, but it was still terrible <3. Roshani was good but a little theatric. Chrislyn was probably my fave. Teale & Luke were too boring to remember. Thahn's was decent. Wes' was forgetable. Madam and Mark were atrocious.

Mark I think may be going because his attitude put off a lot of casual viewers. I have to side with Mark, when you genuinely don't like something, you can never fake to love it. I dont get why Dicko should criticise him for sulking, just because Dicko adores ABBA who he considers tHe leGend!11! and Mark doesn't. If Enya were an idol contestant and had to do a Linkin Park numnber, I'm sure she'll be unhappy as well.

Up in the top tier were also (I can't believe it, again) Roshani and, a distant 5th, Luke. Chrislyn was performing, but it was more like a high school level revue show performance. I do give her props for trying. It would have been more campy and appealing with a more OTT wardrobe choice. Teale--has no soul. Nice voice, no soul. Mark didn't work for me at all. It was exhausting watching and listening to him. It looked like he was running around trying to find a bathroom. Poor Madam--the competition format is not her friend. Very awkward and weak performance. I think Madam is a goner.

She says she has fun and that's the most important thing. Spoiler [+] Roshani is next. She says if this is her last time, at least she had fun. Spoiler [+] Chrislyn is the last to perform and she did better this time around. Kyle is suprised with the bottom 3.

Posts: 3592 (10/06/08 2:57 AM) Registered User Reply Quote More Recent Posts Message Connection Block Invite	Chrislyn says what went wrong was that it was out of her comfort zone so she lost her focus a bit. She was very nervous and not ready to leave. lol the mic is dead while she and the host were talking. Sophile feels great to be safe. Chrislyn's mic is back on. She agrees with Dicko that her outfit sucked last night. If she stays, she'll do what she's best at. Roshani admits it's scary to be in the bottom 3. They show footage with her struggling in her outfit, it was tight and she felt it might affect her vocal. She thinks her performance may be to theatrical and that's why she is where she is. Madam is not sure what has happened to her. Maybe she's just too happy that she can't focus on the techniques. Thanh wins the performance of the night award.

Marcia suggested him to write key words on his palms. Mark is shocked and feels undeserved to not be in the bottom 3, but excited to do a rock song next week. Dicko actually apologised to Mark because Dicko thinks he shouldnt be that aggressive to Mark. Luke apparently made up a lyric last night, but of course none of us couldn't really catch it cause as usual he growls when he sings. when he was 10, Wes sang and danced Fernando on stage, and at one point he accidentally bumped his balls against a metal fence.
