I tried Facebook. I found 4213 and added her as a friend. I don't know what else to do with though.
This whole season is a right-off. The only entertainment left is in watching to see how truly awful it can get.

Yeah I was like that with FaceBook as well. Signed up, added a few people... now what? I'm using a fake name on mine as well so I'm surprised that the people I've added actually found me, LOL. So true... Any idea what the next theme is for Sunday yet? I miss Inside Idol actually, I used to like watching it because it gave more of an insight to the contestants themselves and what their personalities were like. That might be why I'm not getting as into it as I have in previous seasons.

I just can't get into facebook or myspace. I just don't have the time to be honest. And I wouldn't have a clue about posting there. I created a myspace account, but..... And I wouldn't have a clue how to use MSN. *shrug*

Tis cool, it's not for everyone.
Oh and I found out what the theme for this week is - Judge's Choice. Should be, er, interesting...

If you get an account we can be friends, Zeds. It just looks like an internet linkup. I'll explore it more later. Got other things to do in the meantime. I have a myspace account but only because someone on a forum had some juicy gossip they didn't want to put on the board but placed in on myspace instead. So in order to gain access to this juicy gossip I had to get a myspace account and apply to be her friend. Well, I got the juicy gossip and I haven't used it since.
Matt's doing Music from the Night from Phantom of the Opera. Interesting.

It's an Instant Messenger service. I use it, occasionally. I tend to just log in but not talk to anyone (you can appear as being "offline") because it distracts me too much Meanwhile. I think my new favourite is Carl now He's just been improving more and more over the weeks. Matt was still bloody impressive though... to sing so well at just 16. He can only get better with time and experience. Out of the girls, I prefer Natalie, but still they don't really do anything for me - they don't "grab" my interest. Marty is boring and Daniel didn't perform too well at all. And I had to agree with Kyle on the wardrobe department last night, WTF was going on there? That thing Matt was wearing, was just weird, he could have done without that. And the girls looked pretty awful too I have to say.

I think the only online communication I really like are internet forums. It's more like being in a room of people where everyone can join in, or not join in if they choose. But I guess facebook etc have their uses. I like email. More convenient than the telephone.
I think Matt murdered Music of the Night. I just had a listen to my cd of Phantom of the Opera. He wasn't ready for it. Too young and inexperienced. Shows promise though. I didn't like his other choice. He needs to mix his songs. The slow ballads are getting boring.
Carl was better not doing swing. Now he has shown that he does have versatility. Still have doubts about the strength of his voice. I like his style and stage presence.
Tarasai seemed subdued last night. I wonder if her voice is worrying her. Marcia commented on the raspiness and said a couple of weeks ago that her method of singing won't do her voice any good in the long term. In any case, both songs seemed flat.
Marty - can't be bothered. Same with Daniel.
Natalie my favourite from the contestants left. Still not at her peak, I think. Needs to get into the song more but I really like her voice.
I think the wardrobe people must hate the girls. Nearly all Tarasai's outfits emphasise her saddle bags and Natalie's her thick legs. I don't know about the bums since the camera was rarely on them.

Hmm... Bye bye Daniel... Damn that's another piece of eye candy gone I loved the hug between Carl and Matt though, so cute! Glad they're still in with a chance. I wouldn't mind seeing those two in the Grand Final now.

They're certainly pimping Matt to win. It should have been called the Matt show, the interview with him was so long. Plus, the idol extra interviewer went straight to Matt.
What was that horrible thing he was wearing? It made him look like a girl. More than usual, that is.
Marty survives yet another week. It would be a scream if he won.

I know, what was up with that top Matt had on? Legos or something. It cracked me up though, he's got such a weird... style If Marty won... I think the only thing you could to is laugh... And anyone who's betting on him to win would get a truck load of money

Yet another "meh" kind of night... Natalie and Carl were the stand outs to me (if you could call them that). Matt didn't go so well though... Meanwhile... I couldn't help but laugh at that whole Tarisai kerfuffle, bloody hell

I don't know what was wrong with Matt. It seemed to be more than his performance that was upsetting him. However, an OK performance.
Natalie - the most deserved touchdown this season.
Marty - hardly understood one word. Why is he still there?
Tarasai - wig, chucking down microphone stands, it screamed fake and OTT. And listening to the words it's not just about anger but heartbreak too. I think that's why it didn't come across as genuine because whatever rage Tarasai was acting out, it didn't relate to the song. Felt a bit uncomfortable about Tarasai getting laid over the coals but she's had it coming for some time. And it was she who brought up the fakeness thing, so not much sympathy from me. Tonights show should be interesting.
Carl - he has stage presence etc. but not much of a voice. But then, lots of successful performers don't have great singing voices.
To go - Marty. Please.

Yeah there seems to be a bit of discussion going on about Matt possibly being upset about something that might have happened behind the scenes, but that's just peoples' opinions really. I guess we won't know unless he reveals it on air. I know! I couldn't understand what he was saying either, and it seemed such a shame because in that clip beforehand, of him rehearsing with Mark, he didn't actually sound as bad. Carl doesn't have the best voice, but he does have more stage presence, and he sort of knows how to "entertain" more, which is good. He always seems to take on what the judges say as well, and accepts the criticism with more grace, rather than snapping back and getting all defensive. He obviously realises he's "not all that" so he knows not to make it seem like he is. Unlike some... *cough* Tarisai, looking in your Bratz Doll look-a-like direction
