I agree Liban has an amazing voice.. and I agree with marsha that he can't sing in western scales.. but he is an amazingly melodic singer. I too want to know what the somalian song he sang originally was as I want to get it.. Is there any chance of getting a video of his first performance posted on this website? Australia needs to be encouraged to recognise the gifts people from different cultures bring with them, Liban is a perfect example of this.. The judges seemed disappointed tonight that he sand a western song - well why couldn't they have intervened before teh performance? Surely they know in advance what each singer is planning to do?? Poor planning by the management of the show lead to very unfair treatment of Liban - and it should be rectified by the management.. As for Dicko - I am sure he thinks Courtney is a better performer than Liban.. It just goes to show that he should not be a judge, as Liban has a unique talent, and Courtney belongs in a circus..
