Australian Idol 6, Wildcard: Girls Night Out?
September 7th 2008 09:12
The seventh person through to the top 12 is…………………………..Brooke Addamo!!!.
The eight person to advance is………………………..Madam!!
First choice for the wildcard is chosen by Dicko. He thinks this person needs to know how to pick songs better, and it's Amanda!!!! I love her. Amanda said try not to be so paranoid and care too much. She is singing Tina Turner's Simply The Best. I didnt expect that. She definitely moves more freely and a lot more relaxed.
Dicko: That was a great start, you always performed very well on stage. That was a perfect song choice for you, not too obscure. I think you connect with the public.
Marcia: I'm not gonna judge tonight, leave it to the Australian public, but I think you did a very fine job.
Kyle: You look great, you have a very strong voice. You gave 110%. I give you a little bit of respect. Good luck to you. Just so you know, one time I was staying at a hotel room next to Tina Turner's room and hear her rehearsing this song. This is a sign!
Vocal: 8 --- Performance: 10 --- Song Choice: 10
Second singer is chosen by Marcia. She believes this person really deserves another shot, and this person will accelerate with the musical team. Nicole Banks is welcomed! She is singing I'm Not Gonna Write You a Love Song. This is definitely a smart song choice. I think she was off on some parts. I don't know if this will be strong enough
Marcia: I'm noticing something, you did a lot of licks. Keep it simple stupid. Not everybody is good enough with licking. But well done.
Kyle: You're wearing the pleasing top for the Father's day. I think still you're thinking too much, not so much emotion. Good luck
Dicko: A great song choice. In terms of performance, you didnt really get it. I agree with Marcia, keep it simple. I think it's still too juvenile.
Vocal: 6 --- Performance: 7 --- Song Choice: 10
Third wildcard is picked by Kyle. He said there's never been a singer like this before. He picks Luke. I'm dissapointed. He is singing Robbie WIlliams' Angel. Oh my god, what a horrible start. Shaky. It sounds like a gimpy old man singing while defacating. I'll be shocked if that gets any praise. What a waste of space.
Kyle: I think you sang better. I still believe you're an honest bloke. I'm not sure if you pull it off.
Dicko: You are a rough diamond. You're a great story. Not sure if you can handle the top 12. I think you're tremendous when release the big note.
Marcia: Allow me to simplify that. You need to learn how to control your voice. If you get through, ask all questions.
Vocal: 3 --- Performance: 5 --- Song Choice: 8
4th singer to be up is chosen by Dicko. He said this singer has got a great energy and lights up the screen, and it's of course Roshani. Singing If I Aint Got You by Alicia Keys. Oh why oh why, she sucks when it comes to picking an interesting song to sing. She sings better than last time, but I wish she's as funky as she in the audition or top 100 episode.
Dicko: Finally she's back! The vocal wasn't 100% but your heart was. Well done!
Marcia: Congrats on overcoming your nerves. You're a storyteller. Stand up, girlfriend!
Kyle: Wow, I think your vocal is like sexual chocolate. Nice work!
Vocal: 9 --- Performance: 8 --- Song Choice: 5
The fifth singer to hit the stage is chosen by Marcia. She said this person is a very strong person. Something incredible has happened to him. It's James. Another disappointing choice. He is probably picked to fit the Father's Day theme. He is singing Superman by Five For Fighting. Admittedly, his vocal is better than last time, but just can't stand watching him.
Marcia: I think you've listened to our advice. Good job.
Kyle: I agree with Marcia, I enjoy it. Half of me likes you, half of me thinks you have that crazy eyes going on there.
Dicko: Definitely good improvement, but from a marketing perspective, I don't know where to put you.
Kyle: All the lonely ladies is his market.
Vocal: 8 --- Performance: 7 --- Song Choice: 5
Kyle decides the sixth performer. He said this next singer is easy to watch, easy to listen to. It's Brooke Schubert! I like her too. It's Trisha Yearwood - How Do I Live. WOw, what a beautiful start. Wow, the voice is literally flawless. She better get through. Chills, chills, chills. Clear, pure, crystal voice. Oh my, the ending. Man, I really hope she gets through.
Kyle: You did everything right, there;s nothing not to like. But I don't know if I care enough,
Dicko: I do like you, this competition needs you. As strong as your singing was, I still think you need to set your benchmark. I really want to help you.
Marcia: I love the storytelling of country music. So, stick to that. Just need to stay true to yourself, and you will do very well in this.
Vocal: 10 --- Performance: 9 --- Song Choice: 10
7th performer of the night will be chosen by Kyle. He said the judges have mixed feeling about this guy. It's Jonny back in the mix. He's singing Let Her Cry by the Hottie & The Blowfish. I like this song when I was younger, but he made it sound boring. There's nothing amazing about the vocal at all.
Kyle: You got that honest way about you. Fantastic song choice. Hope you get through.
Dicko: I think you need to build foundation so people understand who are you as an artist
Marcia: You sang a song that suited you. You keep it real and you'll be fine here. Congratulations.
Vocal: 8 --- Performance: 6 --- Song Choice: 8
The final opportunity, introduced by Dicko goes to....Sophie. Wow Natalie didn't get picked, but she looks okay though. Fair enough, while amazing, Natalie seems she can only sing songs from Dreamgirls. Sophie is singing I'm Yours by Jason Mraz. She did some scatting on the song. It was kinda boring actually. She doesnt deserve the pimp spot.
Dicko: I'm thrilled with how you're developing. Love how you interpret current songs. Will be a crime not to put you through.
Marcia: You got a great voice. Good luck.
Kyle: Nice to see a lady dresses so well on stage. Vocal was great. You're cool and quirky. Keep doing what you're doing. Good luck.
Vocal: 8 --- Performance: 7 --- Song Choice: 6
