Pfffft even more reason not to avidly watch the show every week. First JPL leaves and I practically lost entire interest, but now George has gone I'm right to pissed off. Him and Diana shud be top 2. Most people would disagree with me because they are Fantasia and Latoya fans but I'm sorry its just that I think those two bring something different to what we are ALREADY seeing on the charts. Plus they seem like the nicest people So anyways even though I seriously seriously doubt she'll make the top 2... go Diana! ;D PS- Its times like these that make me miss Australian Idol even more than usual! Australia wud neva have let this happen! lol. Well atleast I hope they wudnt have let it happen.... From what I have read you guys let it happen with Paulini. Apparently, she was a great talent and got voted off early. And they signed Millsy to a contract be she got a contract!! So....I don't know!!

I think that's exactly what Idol Obsessed is talking about, Reggie... The 'already in the charts' comment was talking about the 'usual' beautiful voices that we hear on the radio. I think Fantasia also brings something different to the charts, but Idol Obsessed has a grudge against her, so eh.

But Paulini would have brought something different to what is already in the charts here. Particulary as an Aussie artist..I am sorry but I don't think that you guys have voices like Paulini's in the charts here already. I have heard her downloads and I really can't think of any Aussie talent that sounds like her, or her style that is on the charts in Aussie (with the exception of Guy who can sing EVERYTHING!). So that fact that you all voted her off, to me at least, is similiar. And in fact even more so because we have lots of singers in America with voices like George (Less so with voices like JPL). She has a great voice and it is different to the type of music that seems to be popular here amongst the Aussie talent and Aussie fans. Sure, in America we are used to voices like Paulini (soulful, r and b) but I don't see that represented that much here. So to me Paulini would have brought something different to Aussie and "what is already in the charts". Just like Guy does. And she was voted off. Are there any others? Maybe I just haven't heard them! Would love to know!! Anyway, Fantasia is great. I think that she will have a great career even if she doesn't win. Go Fantasia and Latoya!!!

Hey Reggie, I agree with you! Paulini had the most beautiful voice (she's been signed to Sony now, and will be releasing an album of covers - I also can't wait for that), but in Australia we've got this latent anti-US sentiment... not because of the war, but because there's a view that America is taking over our culture, our TV, our language, etc. So Paulini and Guy's R&B styles actually worked against them a little, and it's why Guy (and Paulini) has an uphill battle to establish himself in Australia after the Idol hype dies down. If I could count the number of times I've seen "We don't need another R&B American wannabe" on the old boards... Add to that the tall poppy syndrome, and the frontrunner will not always win. And going back to other great voices in the AI contest, of the ones I heard, Paulini's voice was pretty unique in tone (in Aust at least!). You can try downloading Brielle Davis' "Even God Gets the Blues" - understated, but she has a very pretty voice (Top 40, group 4). Peter Ryan is also really good (Top 40, group 1; Top 12, 70's hits), but might not be to your style. www.idolonline.org/music5.htm

Reggie, I agree Fastasia and LayToya should be the final 2 in American Idol - best voices. La Toya has the strongest voice, really amazing - yet Fastasia holds her tune the best all the way through in a song. La Toya occasionaly goes a bit sharp or flat - but with her voice this can be easily worked through.
Re Paulini - I didn't watch much of ozidol until close to the end - and have only recently heard a string of her singing different styled tunes - have to admit it is a shock, now, she didn't make it to the final 2, not that I minded who Australia chose - they chose their style, and ozstyle if definitely 50/50 rocknroll/country to hip hop R & B - but the fact is, all the other 12 finalists' voices have improved consistently since AI, no? Paulini's happened to be that good DURING though - WOW. Cle's was amazing too.
Did Paulini leave after the comments on ''that dress"? Just wondering.
Too late - in a way, I think Paulini will be able to get good terms on her contract, and sing the sort of songs she wants to.

She was in the bottom 2 the week before 'the dress'. The week she wore the dress she got masses of publicity and wasn't in the bottom 3. The week after that she was out (I think).

Thanks superc - ah well, our 2 boys have proven to be great ozzie reps.
Paulini will do well, I am sure.
