Tears flow for the again idle
October 8, 2003
REDUCED to tears again on Monday night when another two hopefuls were given their marching orders, sensitive Australian Idol judge Marcia Hines was back on form yesterday.
"Monday's verdict, I hate it. I've never been such a cry-baby," she said.
"But those kids are braver than me. I couldn't do this."
Hines hopes that the elimination nights will get easier from next week, when just one contestant will leave each week until November's grand final telecast.
"I just hope the public keeps voting for the girls," she said.
"There's only two left. I'd like to see it come down to a boy and a girl and then ... whatever."
As for Hines, who will also be lending her skills to the Rugby World Cup entertainment, she'll be showing what she can do and what earned her a spot on the Idol judging panel when she performs at the ParaQuad (Paraplegic & Quadriplegic Association of NSW) Independence Gala Dinner.
"It's a great great thing to be involved in," she said.
"You want to talk about bravery? Honey, this is never say die.
"I really dig it."
Tickets for next Thursday's dinner at the Westin Hotel can be purchased by calling www.paraquad.nsw.asn.au or call 02 8741 5622.
