What will they get out of winning this anyway?
Exposure internationally. Well they are all going to get that anyway.
What is the prize?
I think Just seeing Guy up there a lot of people will sit up and take notice.
Even if he doesn't win it will be really good for him.

I agree it will be really good for him and he will move people through his voice and presence and what a joy that is |

This board is dominated by Australians, so I think its a bit bias. Wasn't talking about this board, and the people stating that Australian idol had the best group of singers (with regards to the final 12) were NOT from Australia. |

From a large number of people I have talked to, there was a consensus that GUY and PAULINI should have been in the final (based on singing ability). Now Paulini (being another female artist, would definitely give Kelly a run for her money), but Guy - well there just isn't another male (or female) competitor that comes within a mile of him GO THE FRO :-)

just remember that kellys had 12-18 months head start on guy and has released some successful records around the globe. she's definitely hot favourite to win. however, guy needs awareness in the european countries... once they hear him... the rest will be history. canvas the euro idol fan boards if you can and guy'll do the rest.
the europeans tend to stick together as shown in the last eurovison contest with the uk coming last.

From people who've heard the audio of Kelly's performance at World Idol, the majority say that she was no way near her best (coming from Kelly fans even) so I think it's anyones title now (preferably Guy's) Lol

I was listening to the Hot 30 a few nights ago and they said that according to the latest stats Guy and Kelly have an equal chance of winning.

here's why i think kelly will win besides her talent: -she's already a household name in many countries No offence to any Americans, sure more of the counrty would know about Kelly more, but hey? Thats only becauses she has been around much more longer than Guy! Guy has only JUST started touring in Australia, and had some troubles along the way so he had 2 cancel about half of them!!  Oh, and sure she might be a house hold name in many counrties, but they might only know her name,... they mighn't actually go for her. And... we know that alot of countries have a problem with America... (no offence ) but it is a fact and they might have a problem with that. I don't know much about Kelly, but i have heard her and she is a great singer, but i don't get a very good impression from her fans... alot of them judge the other contestants before they know get 2 know them  Some of them also judge the countries just because of the performers! |

The reason why i think this has been such a big "cat fight with claws out" moment is because alot of people are either going for Guy or Kelly. All this is, is a title... just like becoming Pop Idol, Australian Idol, or American Idol! ... it only gets their feet through the door a bit, but it is up 2 them 2 do the rest |

It's far more complex than World idol. The title guarantee’s Guy NOTHING. BMG are responsible for churning out Guy's hit's so he doesn't simply melt into the background as soon as A2 begins. I'm so concerned that there will not be enough time producing good songs to publish. His album is fantastic and currently Channel 10 are doing a great job of promoting his next single 'all I need is you' but the ball has to keep rolling. Sadly the music industry is fickle and so are the fans. I for one am a total victim of the Australian Idol phenomena and can't get enough information. I'm hanging out to see W1 and turn down social engagements to catch a glimpse of the Fro Bro on the Television. I've bought any magazine that has a story on him and even stooped so low as to buy the best bits DVD. So no one can say I'm not a fan, BUT Guy hit's you like a tonne of bricks IF he sings the right song, otherwise your so fascinated by just watching him (cause he's got this funky, different look) that you just might miss him sing (although it's pretty hard). So how, when he is singing wonderful world (not much room for his exceptional vocal acrobatics to be displayed) are people going to recognize him as an all out favourite over some other very powerful competitors. More importantly how is he going to keep the momentum of his career with American idol 3, A2 and various other talents quests going? I have to say I'm a reality TV show freak, I love it, I can't get enough of it but I've never felt such a sense of ownership as I do with Guy, I feel like I know him, voted for him and therefore help make him and am painfully bias towards him. Damn reality TV, but thanks too cause we got Guy out of it. This fascination will die down and he has been terribly over exposed, will he be able to maintain everyone’s interest. I think what makes Guy is the fact that we can see him, can watch him, he does have awesome stage presence so when he only brings out videos once in a blue moon and has the odd clipping in the paper or magazine over the next couple of years are you all still going to love him AS MUCH?. I will always buy his music cause I love that funky motown vibe he's got and always have bought that style of music but what about everyone else? I don’t know, I worry for him, hope he makes it huge, I think he's so extraordinary that it would be a shame if the down side of over exposure (the show that made him) were also responsible for breaking him. Go the Fro in World Idol  |
