Your not the only one who finds WI a crap idea. They only did i think for money! I think that Peter dude was actualy ok!... he was just singing Nirvana... and it is obviously rock so maybe some people aren't really into rock music  But i think Nirvana does sound better of course  And remember alot of the worlds population is into rock music, including me... so they would be voting for him. Oh, i didn't vote though. I shall finish my statement by saying... YES!... THE WORLD HAS GONE MAD!! |

I am totally laughing at you two. Seems like you two are bitching because Guy didn't won. Well grow up, so what, the Americans aren't bitching as much about Kelly losing to Kurt too.

I thought Peter's performance was really good and was rapt with his top 3 finish. It just goes to show that no matter how much manufactured pop you put out there that rock 'n' roll will never die!!! There, I've had my little vent.  |

Yeah but that's the way the world is - when you're on a good thing flog it to death.

I don't think i'm "bitching" at all thankyou every much! All i said was that i like rock music and i though Peter did ok, that i think they didn't really need 2 be a WI, whats the point? And i think that the voting was a bit strange! I mean, not everyone would of voted just because they are a great performer!! And i'm actually happy that Kurt won!! Where in my post did i say that i WASN'T?! I'm happy 2 say that i never was mad at anyone because there were infront of Guy! I'm proud 2 see him get this far and know that he is an amazing person!! |

first of all, as a reasonable person, i dont think guy actually got the "look", he doesn't look attractive to girls at all, as simon said, he looks "weird" at first glance, we dont see this way because we've been with guy for more than half a year and we know him very well and no long judge him simply by appearance. as for personality, well, the people from other countries got only couple mins to know him from the show, what do u think? stunning voice.....hmmm, he surely got an unique voice, but in comparsion with kurt, who has a voice that touches peoples heart the moment he opened his mouth, guy isnt that great at all..... |

I've always thought Guy was gorgeous, even before I fell in love with him as a singer/person. And anyway, being an Idol is more about charisma than looks. If it were about looks, do you honestly think that Kurt would have won? No way in hell, sweetie, but like Dicko said, there is an honesty in him that you can't help but see and like. Being an Idol is about the X-FACTOR... You don't always know why you like them, but you do. |

Oh come on, get over it...
Firstly, Kurt rocked. I thought he was way better than Guy, and he is amazingly talented. How about less of the sour grapes, people! The person who won was the person who performed best on the night, that was the point of it, after all. Secondly, I don't think WI is a joke at all. I got to meet all of these amazing singers from around the world, and I'd go out and buy Kurt's CD today if it came out in the stores. That makes it well worth it for me. How about you just deal with the fact that other countries have different ways of doing things, and different ways of judging talent. Just because it's different, doesn't mean it's wrong. It is WORLD Idol after all, not AUSTRALIAN Idol, and it's only fair that the rest of the world gets a voice. And they overwhelmingly choose Kurt, and I, for one, am happy with that.
Some of you people should really grow up.

I believe they picked the best! He certainly has a terrific voice and has had to overcome huge handicaps such as, well, looks?, not belonging to a big country, being a father, etc etc.
Guy's OK, though, and will be all the better if he's learned a bit of humility about his talents, and will now be prepared to listen to advice. - I understand that during the heats he would not even be guided as to what to wear, etc.

most of us are very happy that kurt won... what bugs us is that guy came 7th instead of 2nd!

I think Kurt winning was a classic example of everyone rootin' for the underdog and wanting to see said underdog win.
Seriously, if you had the chance to see each of the idols performing their own concert/extravaganza/spectacular, would you choose Kurt over everyone else?
I sure as hell wouldn't pay money to see him if I could see Kelly, Guy or even Will, instead. Kurt would be as boring as bat poop.
Kurt had a good voice, granted. But that was it. He didn't give me anything new. His performance was a complete imitation of the original U2 song.
My question: What happened to looking at the whole package?

But i think Nirvana does sound better of course 
And remember alot of the worlds population is into rock music, including me... so they would be voting for him. Oh, i didn't vote though.
