Let's face it, she only got through because the judges gave her a 2nd chance. Perhaps some of the blame here in lie with them. I believe that Paulini was robbed, she was by far on a par with Guy as the 2 standout talents of Australian Idol. The only reason Cosima got to the final 3 is she rallied every mobile happy wog in Australia to vote for her.
What happened on Monday night has done nothing for the credibility of the show. I will leave you with this thought, if Shannon placed 2nd due to votes then there would have been no need for Cosima to read her bullshit, sob story.

Totally agree tewrex!!
I found it interesting that she only read it when it was between her & Shannon! Paulini was a much better singer than Cosima ever will be!

Ecxuse ME! "The happy wog vote". How anglo you must be mate. What about Shannon and the racist white yobbo ozzie voters. Leave her alone. Just because she knows what she wants and is sooo going to get it doesn't mean she deserves to be shat on by the likes of you. Cossima is a great talent and a clever young woman. Shannon is no doubt thrilled to be where he is because as we all know he aint there for talent but for voters like you.....some of you folk on these message boards are a real worry...

Racist garbage in almost EVERY thread. Unflipping-believable.
Where there's no argument there's racism as a back-up. Credibility at its best.

lol that comment about the mobile happy wogs really made me laugh cos I have a friend who is Italian and his whole family is obessed with idol, including his mum, dad and three sisters. However, the dad has banned them from voting unless they vote for cosima because quote "she is a good italian girl."
By the same token im sure there are many white-australian country voters voting for Shannon.
Thus the comment is not about rascism i think, but its got something to do with identity and alliegance. Think of the way Western Australia and Perth have rallied behind Cos, because they identify with her, shes like their unoffical spokes person. Same with the Italians probably, they see her as their ambassador because they share something in common.
Again, it's not a rascist thing, but more of a tribal thing. And if Cosmia's tribe is the strongest then she deserved to stay in idol, because the comp is (sadly) about popularity rather than anything else. Whoever has the biggest fan base or tribe, wins. its as simple as that.

OMG Cosima is a total nutcase, she is such a bitch if she new that she was going to leave why didnt she say something b4, why wait till that time to say something. I reckon that if she got in instead of guy then she would never have pulled outa the comp. She only did it because she might get voted out (thats what i think anyway). She should give everyone who voted for her their money back outa her own pocket! thats what i think

 There is an equal number of stupid and intelligent people on the board. Face It! Paulini is gone Cosima didn't steal her place you sill anglo. It took alot of bravery for her to go through with crushing her own dreams. As for other questions; Cosima had no control over when she announced her wothdrawl, the producer topok over. As for why they let Guy be announced through, this is because Andrew G and James Matherson were told that Cosima had something to say in the add break between Guy going through and the second finalist going thorugh. It irritates me to see racists ignorant fools. I am Italian aswell so don't insult them and DON'T CALL ME A WOG!!!!!!!! Or my knid for that matter. Thank God there are some realistic people in the world.(Loren) And paying for the ophone calls out of her own pockets, what a stupid, stupid comment to make you unrealistic, most likely racist, unintelligant D**KH**D!!! ~bye!~

I re-watched it again last night, looking for obvious signs. I had the distinct impression that Marcia knew. It looked to me that Cosima had made a statement to the effect that if she did not get picked first she was out. As Guys name was read, Marcia with a look of dread on her face, looked up above and rolled her eyes, as if to say here it comes. When Cos got up to do her little Diva speech, there was a very hateful look in Guys eyes (I didnt think he could be capable) when he looked over at Shannon and Shannon looked pretty angry and nodded at Guy. I dont know if those two knew, but I think they were pretty pissed off with the timing. Did anyone else notice these two points?  ? Also Cos sister in the audience had a tissue in her hand wiping her eyes before thead break to reveal the winner!!!!! |

i dunno if it was hatred but i dont think they were happy . her timing was pathetic i admired her up until that night if she was going she could of done it b4 the show or b4 the bottom 2 were read. she new she was goin so she took a way out that was easy and so that she didnt have to say she was voted out instead she says she withdrew . it kinda took the excitement away from guy and shannon anyway the best two got through to the final anyway

yeh i watched it (on tape) after i already knew that she was leaving. I didn't catch that anger thing but i did notice that she was trying awfully hard to hold back tears all night. I think she knew from the start of the show because every time one of the hosts metioned someone was leaving that night she kind of looked away and got all fidgety and uncomfortable.
But who cares any more it happened its old news now lets just focus on the final!

get over it
it wasnt Cosimas fault she did what she thought was best for the competiton, it wouldnt be right if she sang at the opera house and sucked, the poor girl might have to have a operation and all you care about is that she robbed paulini or whatever, i do however think it was wrong of her to let guy through and make poor shannon stand there feeling like he didnt deserve to get thru. If they didnt say Guy could get thru then it would be ok but it is unfair for shannon. And i dont kno what you are all going on a bout saying stuff that we are only voting for shannon coz he is a pure aussie bloke well im not because of that, i am coz he has a great voice and a huge personality not just because he is a pure aussie alright? geez get over it, really it is just a reality Tv show.the person who wins will be just as good as the ppl who lose anyway.they are all gonna become famous no-matter what they do.
So stop abusing people you dont even know because you wouldnt like it if you were them, it goes for any artist out at the moment.

My post by no mean was a directed racist statement. And for the record i agree that Shannon is a talentless, redneck, country hick.
But you would have to agree that Cosima is very lucky, her "crocodile" tears when other contestants when being voted off just added to the whole charade that is Cosima.
Personally i think she is "tainted meat" and any record company that signs her up is insane
