Wake up Australia! Shannon as the 'Australian Idol'? What a joke! Look I have nothing against the guy, he sounds like he's really down to earth and he is the best looking out of the bunch. But its not about looks, its about talent!! And shannons talent is limited to pub singing. His voice is only suited to country music. He is not a performer. He cant even move. Dicko's comment that he looks like he's moving up the deli queue was spot on. Its not a dancing competition but a good performance is more than just singing well. His only good performance was 'what about me' and its all gone downhill fast from there. As for the comments about his problem being bad song choices...Bon Jovi's 'living on a prayer' could've been a huge hit but he bombed. His voice is very limited, and he doesn't have a lot of range. A truly exceptional artist should be able to perform a variety of musical genres....like guy! He is the only contestant who really has what it takes to be a musical legend because he has genuine talent. As for all the girls who are voting for Shannon coz of his looks. Wake up he is married with 2 kids!!!!

He isn't married - hasn't married his g/friend yet (shotgun weddings must not be as common in the country as they once were ) As for Guy being versatile, it will be interesting to see how he goes in next week's "Rock songs" theme. I don't think I'd like to buy a rock tune sung by Guy. If he picks "I was made for Loving You" by Kiss he should be safe (it calls for vocal aerobics in that song towards the middle of it) but I'd hate to hear him attempt any Van Halen or Billy Idol!

Whatever...married or not my point was that the public should not be voting for looks but talent. And do you seriously think Ripley that Shannon is even in the same league as Guy?? Maybe rock is not Guys specialty but I am sure he can pull it off. His voice IS versatile. I think he could easily do a Billy Idol song coz he has a strong voice that can be deep or high depending on whats required. As if shannon can do rock, we all heard his pathetic attempt at Bon Jovi's 'living on a prayer'. Guy would've kicked his ass with that song. You obviously don't have an eye (or ear) for talent. At least Guy can actually write his own stuff and in my opinion to be a serious artist, you need to be able to write your own stuff. Otherwise you are just a puppet. Shannon should stick to pub singing or karioke coz he doesn't have what it takes to be a 'star'!

It's what you like. I don't like vocal aerobics - hate Christien Aguleira when she pads out her songs with wails and yeahs, ruins every song that she does. Her attempt at pop rock was awful (Fighter). Guy has a fantastic voice but I don't like that style of music or his voice but he does have so much more range than Shannon. Guy sounds like Terence Trent D'Arby and Terence sucked when he tried to sing INXS songs at the football a few years ago. He ruined them! Hearing him do a Billy Idol number would be a slow form of torture for me, he doesn't have the testosterone. He will win Idol though. I'm going for him second simply because he seems like such a great person. I don't think his voice is any better than Paulini's or Cosimas. Shannon will be out tonight, then I'll be gunning for Guy. For Nena who said Shannon is a peasant - are you Italian or Greek? Most Italians and Greeks out here were originally from peasant stock you know - if you want to insult the guy, he's a "country hick" ok? No, I'm not convict stock either, my grandparents are Swedish.

What is the point in completely bagging out the contestants you don't like, when no-one's ever gonna change their opinion based on what you say to point out the faults in the one they like? It's pointless, but fun, which is why I'm here, obviously. To all the people who are bagging out Shannon, get a life, and try doing what he does every week, then see how much you want to bag him out

If you like another contestant other than Shannon, go to the topic that deals with them. Why do you have to put one singer down to make your's seem better. I think the fact that Shannon is good looking is working against him. If he was ugly, then I am sure a lot more people would think he could sing. If I just heard him on the radio and never saw him, I would still think he was brilliant. He has a great voice. He sang What About Me really well, but did anyone hear his songs before that? They were also brilliant. I find it funny that someone says we don't need anor Jimmy Barnes, not that he sounds like him, exactly where did you make the connection then. Get your votes in for Shannon.

To Guy Fan - if you think Shannon should stick to pub singing, then perhaps guy should stick to Church singing. I am not trying to put guy down, but he has a voice that suits different songs and so does Shannon. They could both outdo each other in certain areas.
