Ho hum another boring introduction from the judging panel - they want to hear people who are going to" rock them" and take it to the next level beyond the last forgettable evening.
This group was a definite improvement from last week but the types who have no concept of the difference between karaoke play offs and a recording career were still content on belting out their own peculiar brands of pathos. So without further ado lets' rip into them!
MARCUS
Marcus was OK (karaoke talk) but visually he would be best described as "just another yobbo face in a footy crowd". Born 4 Ewe a very boring karaoke effort with a stupid pitch change in the latter part of the torture . Marcia suggested in her polite way that he should have done something different - her way of saying "why did you turn up?". Major concern was this guy's eyes - conjured up thoughts of sacrificing chickens and a person that might have their bedroom walls covered in Nikki
Webster photos. A 5/10 effort.
BEN
Introduced himself by telling the viewers that his parents were singing stars in Indonesia - terrific but I still don't have their albums. Gets the award for the worst fashion of the night - wearing a red and black checkerboard jumper that would have gotten him refused entry at most decent RSLs. The song was crap and his performance was karaoke sub-standard. The judges once again lost the plot with Marcia thinking him "lovely". Dicko said it was a wasted performance - it was merely sleep-inducing - better singers at most Bucks Fizz retro gatherings.
4/10
ALEX
This chick started off with a spiel about how she didn't want to be perceived as a blonde bimbo. After all that nonsense she didn't sound too bad. Dicko reckoned he wanted to see more of her personality while Marcia thought she was good. Well she WAS good/ok but as far as idol quality doubtful. 6/10
ANTON
Anthony should have been shot by the judges for choosing to sing this appalling non-song "End of the Road". Absolutel crap. Boyz to Men are trailer trash and not very good at that skill. Anton was superbly dressed for Friday night at the local RSL - and sang as if he was suffering from haemorrhoids for the most part of the song. He sang with his eyes closed so obviously he had even put himself to sleep even before the suffering audience. The consistently inconsistent judges reckoned he was ok but it was a boring performance. 4/10
STU
Pass me the anaesthetic! - a Tom Jones tribute - stated that he wanted Marcia's undies - fortunately Marcia has a lot better taste than this NARCISSISTIC fool and the judges responded likewise - just a Tom Jones copy artist - no original voice - and hence the criticism. Confident performace 5.5/10
PAULINI
Was worried when the girl said she loved Mariah and Whitney - those girls pre wanking good singing aside. Paulini - very good looking and sang really well with "Somewhere" - A 7 out of 10 performance although Dicko wanted to see some personality which was a fair point but the girl's singing was really good. The judges remain perplexing - surely Marcia could have commended the girl's voice instead of saying that the girl was beautiful. Perhaps they're bored? 7/10
RODNEY (COURTNEY)
The drag queen Rodney produced a good effort but this is what these drag queen/gays excel at - they are in touch with their effeminate side and they are really good copiers. Rodney performed brilliantly but its just Priscilla Queen of Lakemba - this is not Idol material. For one the singer needs to esablish the gender and then get on with it. Good entertainer but not Idol material. This show is for males and females -decide what you are which is usually given by the appendages between the legs then sing your song. Good show though 7/10.
RON
Ron met the criteria that all the judges are looking for - had the looks - personality and sang very well. Sang Robbie Williams song very well - nothing better than B grade karoake but good enough to be one of the people to go through. 7/10
Can't remember my marks now as I'm a bit pissed but to go through I'd say Paulini, Rob and Alex.
n.b. I wish Marcia (I love her) would stop telling some of these dreamers that she/he has "one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard". Marcia doesn't drink as far as I know but when she says this so often I think she should start considering it.
