Australian Idol: What The Frock?

SPIEL #1 - I'm quite glad that the judges on Idol have actually addressed their issews (or rather, Mark's issews) regarding Dicko and the supposed superfluousness (superfluity?) of the fourth judge concept. Mark, this entire series, has proven himself to be a massive whiny bitch, and I personally believe that the competition could stand to lose him as a judge in the future. I get that Mark has certain legitimate criticisms of Dicko, but really, Marcia isn't being stupid and pathetic about him, so why can't he just get over it? It's like Mark is some little kid whose dad left him one day, and then came back years later, and he still has residual trust issues. Issues which manifest themselves in blatant acts of famewhoring, namely, going to the media to drum up support for his pointless crusade.

Eff off Mark, right now.

SPIEL #2 - Can we talk about the Young Divas? Apart from having the most laughably stupid name for a girl group ever, they're also a little bit like the adult version of High-5, except with perhaps less music cred. Just like High-5, you can replace any one of the "divas" and nobody really knows or cares.

Being serious for a second, I feel for the ex Idols, whether Diva or otherwise, and I think that Idol should be more of a contest to win money or other fabulous prizes, rather than a serious search for the next big Australian musician. I absolutely love Idol, but it taints the whole experience when you look at the cost of people's dignity at the end. Not to mention some of the truly awful music that we have to listen to.

Rexona Girl Deodorant commercials - I challenge the theory as espoused by Amali Ward that a simple anti-perspirant can "get you through" a competition such as Australian Idol. Really, these ads are so, so stupid.

The results - no surprises there with Daniel Mifsud leaving the competition. I still am bitter about Marty still being in the competition, but at least we don't have to type 'Mifsud' anymore.

(Matt Corby is wearing a clown-pattern mini-dress tonight. I am dead serious.)

What got me were those itty bitty chest hairs just sitting on Matt's pale, scrawny boy chest. Boys at that stage of development should not be showing off their chestal regions. So many different flavours of ew.

Thirded.

And what was with that neckline? If you chopped off his head, he looked quite like Great Aunt Gladys. But she could be excused for a top like that, because she's gaga.

Chesty - Chest hairs? I wasn't looking that close.

How about when he, like, started getting undressed whilst talking to the camera? I felt like we were violating his personal space just by watching it.

Meva - heh. It did sort of look like a moo-moo on him.

Actonb - I would love to see him groomed and dressed normally. Like, just once. Is that so hard to do?

Hey Jacob - I've seen him well groomed, in the flesh even... It does make a difference!
