Why are they all singing again? Didn’t voting close at 7pm Sydney time? There’s literally no point in them performing again.
Guy Sebastian (ft. Sam Fischer), Delta Goodrem, Conrad Sewell, Morgan Evans + Marcia Hines are set to perform across the 2-night GF.

That’s actually pretty decent.
The three grand finalists will perform at Westfield Hurstville in Sydney’s south this Thursday (March 21) from 5.30pm.
The co-hosts didn’t say which guests would perform on which night. I guess we have to watch both Sunday and Monday nights.

Meet your Grand Finalists
Amy, Denvah and Dylan one step closer to Australian Idol dream
Tonight, Australia chose 23-year-old Denvah Baker-Moller from Rockingham, 24-year-old Amy Reeves from Broome, and 30-year-old Dylan Wright from the Northern Rivers as their Australian Idol Grand Finalists live on Channel Seven and 7plus.
The Top 6 opened the show with an inspiring performance of Giant by Calvin Harris and Rag’n’Bone man, before hosts Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie announced each contestant would perform again solo. Then, it was time to say goodbye to three incredibly talented performers.
Judges Kyle Sandilands, Marcia Hines and Amy Shark recognised how difficult it was to say goodbye, as Australian Idol farewelled 22-year-old Trent Richardson from Emu Park, Queensland; 20-year-old Ivana Ilic from Melbourne; and 23-year-old Isaac McCallum from Ulladulla, NSW.
On departing the competition, Ivana admitted: “Obviously, you want to go all the way but that’s not what this is all about. I’ve gone out there and showed Australia who I am and who I want to be as an artist.”
Amy said: “You are such a powerhouse I’m so excited for your career. Everyone watching you is so aware of how incredible you are.”
Issac thanked the judges for believing in him. “It is what it is, at the end of the day. I am grateful to make the Top 6 who would have ever thought!”
Kyle said: “You’re the one I’m most proud of… you’re the one I was most worried about, you stood up and you have shined.”
Trent said: “Idol was my first-time singing, with a crowd, on stage. I’ve loved every minute of it, I feel at home. I can promise this won’t be the last time on this stage.”
Marcia said: “There is something really special about you, you’re a beautiful young man.”
Denvah acknowledged making the Grand Finale was a bittersweet moment: “I always take so long to process; my heart just went with Ivana then. I’m so excited Australia. Thank you. I went on this thinking I’m just a country singer, but maybe I’m the country singer not just a country singer anymore!”
Denvah put her unique country spin on a moving rendition of Tina Turner’s classic Simply The Best, as Marcia reflected on Denvah’s first audition and praised her “for staying true to who she is.”
Amy cemented her Grand Finale spot after a “elegant” rendition of Gravity by Sara Bareilles.
Emotional, Amy said: “I have no words other than thank you Australia, I’m shaking like a leaf right now.”
Amy Shark said: “You really could go all the way.” Marcia admitted: “I adore listening to you.”
Dylan called his Idol Grand Finale berth “unexpected” before praising his fellow contestants who have become close friends.
After his performance of Ordinary People by John Legend, Amy declared: “I think there is no stopping you now.”
Kyle shared: “We love you every single week. You’ve made me cry twice!”
The winner of Australian Idol will receive a recording contract with industry giant Sony Music Entertainment Australia and $100,000 in prize money.
Sunday 7.00pm and Monday 7.30pm: Australian Idol’s massive Grand Finale week will see the Top 3 perform, plus the biggest names in Aussie music, including Idol legend Guy Sebastian and music superstar Sam Fisher, the iconic Delta Goodrem, country-megastar Morgan Evans, ARIA-Award winner Conrad Sewell and Australian Idol queen Marcia Hines.
Meet the Australian Idol Grand Finalists Amy, Dylan and Denvah at Westfield Hurstville this Thursday, 21 March from 5.30pm. Event details here.

That’s a very small Westfield. Not expecting a big audience? 
There was no shock though. As I hoped would happen, having the voting limit meant that the right people got through. Trent or Isaac definitely did not deserve to be in the final but clearly had a huge support base in their towns that were voting excessively.
I’ll predict that the season will pan out with Denvah 3rd, Dylan runner-up and Amy winning.

The Goggleboxers watched an episode of Idol this week and weren’t impressed with the judges not saving any of the contestants. Anastasia: “Should’ve watched MAFS”

The Australian Contestants were at Hurstville Westfield at 5.30pm. This is what the area looked like at 8am:
Pic 1: A view of the stage from behind the audience area. Stage is under the escalator. The stage was tiny. Two sound engineers were setting up (on the left of the pic)
Pic 2: The audience area is tiny. Would have fit 40 people standing (?)
Pic 3: Looking towards the audience
This Westfield got rid of the big proper stage many moons ago. And the areas looking down to the stage from above levels been reduced also.
Apologies for my poor photo skills too. Hadn’t bought a coffee yet! lol.

No Marcia Hines tonight.
Will they bring in a guest judege?
They didn’t last year when Kyle was off.
Not sure there’s enough time to find one depending on when Marcia pulled out.
Guy Sebastian I think
Hopefully Marcia will be back for Monday’s show when the winner will be crowned.
