Once again, watch and decide. Reports are biased, use your own judgement. (Unlike some Kelly fans who are already preparing the champagne)

I only wish that I wasn't surviving on a dial-up connection and am so afraid of SPAM that I've set my cookies meter to the harshest possible restriction - it's so difficult to download even partial tracks that I haven't bothered to try.
I would really have liked to seen the various idols perform more than the one song, as in one specific performance the performer might not shine, but that might just be because they were down with a bug (best wishes to Cosima - has anyone heard anything lately?).
Being able to view a number of performances with varying song genres would give me a better all-round idea on that performer's talent - case in point would be Guy's finals series song choices.
By the way - I heard mention that when Guy was in his early teens he had this performance that ended up having the entire audience in tears - does anyone out there know what the song was or if its downloadable from anywhere?
...continuing on: take Kelly Clarkson as an example. I hear that on WI she struggled, but I also hear that she had a bit of the flu (and Guy struggled when he had the flu). I've heard some of her releases (love Miss Independent) and she sounds fantastic, but is this because it's been mixed to perfection by the recording studio? I heard her live presentation on a radio program when in Australia promoting her material, she didn't sound on the mark that much, but was that because she had screaming fans all around her and wasn't able to hear her own voice?
I haven't seen enough of Kelly Clarkson live & in top form to know how much of a talented performer she may or may not be. When it comes to the other world performers (besides Guy) I haven't heard diddly at all.
Note: I hope that when the middle eastern idol performs they have subtitles for the lyrics - it's so difficult to get involved in a song if you can't understand the emotion/feeling that's trying to be communicated.
If World Idol producers happen to read these forums please take note: if I don't feel confident that my voting will be relevant (even though one vote is only a miniscule thing in the broader scheme) then I won't vote.
I agree with Guy - World Idol should be about the performers that have made it this far, it shouldn't be about the judges. At the time of year World Idol is being presented to us I would much prefer a joyous presentation (no religious connotations meant) than a spiteful one.
I would much prefer that the producers of World Idol ditch the judging component altogether and simply add a 5->15 min collage of each idol to that idol's World Idol stage performance.
Make it about what matters - the music and the community who want to celebrate it.
Ditch the Bitches.
Finally, what I wish for most of all is that I could hold a tune at least well enough to be able to communicate in song the same way that (I assume) all the idols can.
Good luck to all the idols.
(!go Guy!)

.... Jeez. Just realised how off the ground my " if I don't feel confident that my voting will be relevant " comment truly is. ... I do apologise.  |

Thanks for posting that, Canadian Ryan Fan! Since I have already decided against voting for Kelly or Will I appreciate info on the other contestants. I didn't realise Ryan's quite a newbie, like Guy, only having been the idol for a couple of months. He seems cool, and I have heard good things about him being versatile with different styles of music. It's unfortunate that we won't get to see his full range in World Idol because they only get one song. Now I shall just have to hunt down some clips ...  |

I can't wait to see all the world idol performances......I'm sure all the contestants are really talented......if they weren't they wouldn't of gotten the votes to be there! I personally won't be voting though.....I'm saving my money for Guy's next album!  ;D GUY will totally rock the world in world idol...and by the way...his arrangements totally kick butt! ;D |
