Not the Idol choice
September 24, 2003
AND then there were 10. The countdown to announcing the winner of Australian Idol officially began on Monday night when the 12 finalists were culled to 10.
Cut were NSW pig farmer Peter Ryan, 27, and Queenslander Matt Chadwick, 21.
With a day to come to terms with their loss, both were a bit upset and regretting their final song choices.
"I could've done a different song, it looks as if the guys that did the ballads went out," said Ryan.
Chadwick also felt the same.
"I would've chosen another song, I had to work with what we had."
Despite being overcome with emotion after finding out they were eliminated, both put on a brave face and sang for the Australian Idol audience one last time.
"We were all dreading it but the emotion and the adrenalin kicked in," Ryan said.
Chadwick said "considering I get really bad nerves, I was quite calm and relaxed, I feel I performed better on Monday night than I did on Sunday".
Both are now planning on pursuing their singing careers.
