Are Australians only voting who they think should "look" like someone from Australia? Why has all the mind-blowing talent been of people with colour.. ie Islanders, etc, yet, they have all been voted off, BUT still standing till the end was Rob, who should of been out weeks ago, and this week, Shannon- white guy with little talent compared to Paulini, Levi, Bek, Cle.
Are you entangled within your own judgemental, enviromental programming? Don't let Australians be steriotyped. Close your eyes next Sunday, and let your ears choose.

This is a singing contest vote for the one who can sing and perform ! |

How pathetic is this thread? Alot of 'white' people were voted off well before Paulini, and she made the top 4 - which included Guy (Malaysian backround), Cosima (Italian backround), Shannon (Australian backround) and Paulini herself (figian backround).
By looking at the last 4 Australian idols, I don't think we are a racist society, it was just unfortunate that she got voted off.
Racism is just an easy excuse - start blaming yourselves for not voting enough.

Why so harsh on Shannon? The 'Australians are racist' tag is so insulting and used as an excuse. When Lebanese gangs rape Australian girls "Australians are racist against Lebanese" calls are in the media. As previously stated, in the last four one was Anglo-saxon the other three were not - but hey, I thought migrants and children of migrants were Australian - this country is made up of racial mixes. It seems to me the comments are racist against Anglo saxons. It is a weird competition. Cosima has been unappealing for the last couple of weeks but she is still there (she has an Italian background). If Robbie Williams is appealing to some, I am sure Shannon can be as well with some more training. Personally I think Guy will win, and if he does what does that say about the voters? Well, they are not racist, they love a good Christian boy (part of the God Squad) who sings in the church choir. No one could accuse Australian voters of an aversion to ugliness (stare at him and note his physical features) and that stupid gollywog hair - it is soooo outdated (even Lenny has cut his back). He does have wonderful musicality and a lovely voice though. Honestly - is he really cool? or a try hard who has a few strange dance moves and that is all he does. It is working though. He has poor diction, He sings 'What a wonderful worl..". Groups like Cold Play or Lincoln Park have clearly audible lyrics. I am sad Paulini was voted out - she could have been really good (I know she can sing fantastically). I think the stylists made a mistake and groomed her too well,she looked best when she was funky with her hair frizzy - not smooth like a cabaret singer. Cosima has improved out of sight but they have sooo much make up on her now - she is starting to look like Courtney Act. The last 3 are not what I imagined a pop idol would be. Although the Male Artist of the Year was Alex Lloyd - that must say something about us all. No one was near the quality of Delta were they!  |

I am sick of all the racist talk. If people come to Australian and become citizens they are Australians. If they didn't want to be, why would they leave their own country. Obviously they think Australia is the best.
Right? That is how is goes, doesn't it? If we did not want to be Australians, we would go to Fiji, or Italy or Ireland (I think that is Shannon's background) or the Phillipines etc. Racist talk to inflammatory and diversive.
I am disappointed in the finalists. I think Guy will win but he is tries so hard to be 'different'. Do people really think he is cool - meaning modern and up to date and original.
I liked Paulini the best and voted for her.
I think a lot of people like Shannon because he just seems to enjoy himself and do his best. Everyone says he is lovely and he and Guy are best friends - which I guess means Guy is lovely as well. So go the guys - or the males. I liked Shannon singing in the lower key of the big band songs - he sounded better than that Jimmy Barnes type pitch. He does have a lot of talent he just hasn't had the opportunity to discover it before.
I think they groom them for 3 months before they are set on the public - they could do a lot with him in that time. Good on him for trying to take this opportunity to make a good life for his family after the bad times he has had.
I hope one of the guys - or males - win. But Cosima seems to have a big fan base. I predict she will win, she takes it all so seriously not leaving it up to chance.
And is she really on with Andrew G? That could have caused friction in the house.

Sorry Megan, but Bek & Cle - cmon! No argument about Paulini though.
Cle was just average and Bek couldn't cut it. Bek sang one or two songs well but made a complete mess of the rest.
Plus her love act with Paulini when she was cut from the show seriously made me want to vomit.

The only racist people, are the ones saying rob and shannon were talentless little white guys.. it seems like your looking for an excuse as to why your precious paulini was voted out. Its coz you didnt vote enough! You are the ones being racist to the white people by saying that we should've voted for the darks because they had talent and white people dont.. has it occurred to you, that just maybe, Paulini and Guy didnt entertain and work the crowd as much as shannon did.. Nope, it has to be racism coz skin colour matters SO much with their talent..   whatever keep your mouth shut if you can only talk about racism. |
