I hope Husney goes though. He's different and I'd like to see how he tackles all the genres. I have the feeling he'd throw himself into all of them. It could be fun to watch.

Predicatably Tablecloth Boy (aka Matt) got through. A teenage girl's wet dream. Personally, don't like his looks - too girly.
Jacob hmmmm. I guess it would have been too cruel not get into the final 12.
I hope Carl and Husny are chosen for wildcards.
The girls seem to be stronger than the boys this year. Except for the final two - warbler girl and school girl, they were all pretty good. Faves were Natalie and Tarasai (sp?)

LOL Tablecloth Boy. What is up with that? *shakes head* But I guess I can't say I don't like the "girly" looks though, seeing as I'm a Noel Fielding fan, hahaha... *realises no one else will probably know who the frick he is so moves on* I hope Carl and Husny are chosen for wildcards too, I'd really like to see how they'd go with the themes of the comp. Didn't care much for many of the girls, but yeah Tarisai definitely has a voice on her. Just not so sure I'm bothered with it though. I think I'm a fan of the weird and quirky finalists this year

'Tablecloth boy' comes from that tablecloth looking scarf he wore. It was large and checkered.
Know what you mean about Tarisai. We've had too many 'divas' over the years. Good voices are relatively common, originality isn't.
Intriguing what Dicko said about only one record deal from SonyBMG this year. To deter those who shy away from actually winning, or too many Idols on their books? It seems they don't know what to do with Emily, Kate or Jessica other than put them in a girl group. Dean Geyer had an album out, but I don't think it did well. I didn't notice it, anyway.

Yeah I know, I was just wondering why he was wearing the tablecloth scarf Trying to go for some weird style I spose Maybe they won't get deals with Sony, but another company might pick them up - unless what he meant is that only Sony will offer a deal which cuts the others off from getting one at all (with anyone else), at least for a year or so? Hm...

One would hope he was styled, because if he chose that himself *oh dear*.
Yes so far again so lacklustre. It seems bloody annoying these guys have the greatest voices and have no idea what songs to sing. The only girl i really kind of thought hmmm she's different is the child care worker blonde. Song choice was terrible on both rounds.
No stand outs

Hopefully once the Final 12 is established they'll get more direction from those helping them, especially regarding song choices. And... yeah, clothing style

Choice picks from the last group of girls - Holly because I liked the song, Brianna because she's different and Sarah because she has an OK voice.
Not feeling the enthusiasm so far. Hopefully it will get better.
Best thing so far is the bickering between Mark and Dicko but that could get old very quickly.

Im a huge fan of Husney too! I love his originality and "quirkyness". He's just really cool...
Oh and Carl is one of my faves too.....and he's from the Gold Coast! Woo go Carl! I'm liking Brianna in the girls group. Didnt at first but loved her performance at the semis.
Still, I dont feel as enthusiastic about idol this year as i did last year. Hopefully it will get better.
PS: Damiens debut original album went to number 1! Woo.........!

So, what do we think of the Final 12? I'm glad that Daniel and Carl got through tonight. I was hoping that Husny and Sarah would as well though, but never mind! At least 2 out of the 4 I wanted made it

There's a mixture of different styles I suppose. But no one I feel enthusiastic about yet.
I'm interested to see how Lana does. She's the Lisa Mitchell of this series. Very genre specific and doesn't come across as being very versatile.

I am all for Ben and Briana. I loved Ben's Mad World and Briana is just very strong in character.
Go them.

Brianna has to be very carefull not to 'quirk' herself out of Marcia's favour like Chanel. Had a moment of cynicism when Marcia said she likes 'theatrics'.
Latest news about Casey - due to release EP later this year and album early next year. As you may know, Casey has been training with Guy Leech and the weight is gradually coming off. At the moment she looks almost back to AI size. She doesn't expect to reach her target until this time next year. She's sung two of her new songs (Help Me and Stay) on television in the last week, so stories of an EP release appear to be accurate this time (there's been false alarms in the past). To hear two of her new songs (Help Me and Shattered) go to Casey's myspace. Or hear the full version of Help Me on youtube. I'll just get the links. Hold on, I'll be back.
