    Ah man!

    Oh man,how bad is this show?! I'm watching the finals right now,and after three months of this it has finally dawned on me that this show is not gonna get any better. I think I knew from the beginning that it wasn't gonna be as good at American and Australian Idol,but like the rest of the females in the country I just sucked it in and hoped it would get better. And worst of all,the judges don't conform to the convention of 'roles' of the Idol genre. Fiona is the meanie and Paul is sort of inarticulate. I didn't see anyone who had the charisma to be a great star. Sure some them could sing,but that's about all they had to offer and as we know a good voice is not all you need to make it in the music biz. Ooo,I gotta go-Robin's gonna perform now! I can't believe he got voted out,I honestly thought he was gonna win!

    Hakuna Matata- Michael's gonna win! Go Michael!

    The first New Zealand Idol show did really well here, with about 1.1 million viewers (considering New Zealand doesn't have 4 million people this is good). The show was Ok although I thought they tended to show a lot more of the not-so-good singers rather than the ones that were actually talented. Hopefully the Auckland show will give us a better idea of the talent in New Zealand.

      2004 Runner-Up, Michael Murphy almost didn't get past the audition stage because judge Paul Ellis didn't like his voice. He was over-ruled by Fiona and Frankie. This also happened to Camillia Temple.
