Oooof the performances have been terrible and the people getting through are laughable… I’m barely hanging in there as a viewer.
Meghan and Amy both said this kid was better singing with his brother. And they miss the double act. Then why did they put him thru (twice) as a solo act?
I also get the feeling Harry is not going to use his Touchdown just because he doesn’t want to.
He does use it. Very soon.
Yah. Proved me wrong haha. Good moment tho.
Ps. Were u there this night?
Were the acts better in real life than what we are seeing?
Im getting so sick of hearing “performing live next week”. Stop lying!!
Sam here. Everyone in here knows its not gonna happen. But their persistence with saying Live Next Week ad nauseum is bugging me so much
The word ‘live’ has been thrown around so much, it’s lost it’s meaning. It’s like the boy who cried
wolf.
The performances have been so bad. Definitely not a lot of talent. No standouts at all.
Jasey? Ridiculous. Sara was ten thousand times better.
Jasey and Harry have no place in the top 12. They’re awful. Poor results.
With Jasey. And the Freddy wannabe from last night (I can’t even remember his name) I don’t understand the narrative the producers are pushing.
Such a shame.
I really think the age limit has screwed over the success of Idol. It’s evident these kids don’t have what it takes.
The promo that just aired said
“Top 12 perform will perform Sunday 7pm”
“Then Monday LIVE Television is Back”
So at least they are being accurate with voice over
The performers can sing in tune, that’s about it to be honest. No one of Nollsy or Guy Sebastian or Jessica Mauboy level of talent.
The whole “LIVE” thing is quite annoying. But does the regular viewer notice / care as much as all of us on here?
I think you are missing the point.
The general audience probably don’t realise it won’t be live. That’s the issue here. The lying and dishonesty.
I think they’re mostly good singers and performers, clearly quite competent, but no one has the X Factor as yet… oh that’s another show! ![]()
Actually, Angelina is “The Only Exception” (see what I did there?!
)
The dynamite dozen
Australian Idol Top 12 prepare for the Live Shows
The final night of Top 24 week proved fierce as eight contestants conquered notes and nerves to score one of four final places in the Australian Idol Top 12 tonight on Channel 7 and 7plus.
Melbourne rose farmer Josh Hannan stepped onstage without the comfort of a guitar or piano to captivate the audience with his raw performance of Joji’s Glimpse of Us.
Dance teacher Jasey Fox showed off his pipes and energetic dance moves as he took on Grace Kelly by MIKA.
Noora H, 27 from Sydney, overcame her nerves to bring the house down with a performance of Olivia Newton-John’s Hopelessly Devoted to You.
But it was 15-year-old Angelina Curtis’ performance of The Only Exception by Paramore that captivated Harry, who gave her the final Touchdown of the week.
Softly spoken Peter Kara delivered with his rendition of Diamonds by Sam Smith, while Sara Houston brought the house down as she performed Nelly Furtado’s I’m Like a Bird.
Meanwhile, Sharin Attamimi took on Gloria Gaynor’s I Will Survive and Bobby Homes emulated Bruno Mars as he performed Locked out of Heaven.
With only three spots remaining in the Top 12 after Angelina’s Touchdown, our all-star judges granted Josh, Jasey and Noora the final places in the coming live-to-air shows.
