Daniel- I am not sure about this guy yet, whether he will become arrogant and insufferable as the competition goes on or start lightening up. His voice is good, but I still need to hear it do other genres.
Hayley- Also not convinced with her ability to do many genres.
Chanel- Chanel seems to either be able to go all the way, or do something too unpredictable and lose the audience's interest.
Courtney- I think he will do well in rock genres but I don't know what else he can do yet.
Marty- like Courtney, I don't know what he can do but hope he can surprise us.
Amali- I can't see Amali being anything but agreeable and adequate at the moment.
Emelia- she may bring emotion, but her vocal limitations may be what stops her at some point.
Dan- I can't see him blowing everyone away, just being agreeable and genial.
Angie- she is reliable and will bring a lot of fun, but that may be what limits her. But she probably will go far.
Anthony- still needs to become a more genuine performer, but his big vocals help him.
Casey- very teen angsty. Can see her losing the goth completely the more popular she gets. Still needs more genres too- esp. uptempo.
Ricki-Lee- she is like the opposite of Casey, in that she has to sing slower songs to prove she has substance.

A good summary lot of improbables yet huh?
I stick up for Daniels tantrum as Dicko seems so biassed this year and Carlos did the same act and same clothes and was praised.

Yes, the actual process of the competition brings a lot of surprises (although Guy was many peoples favourites early on) which is why it is fun to watch. I mean, certain performers and their signature performances last year unexpectedly blew people away like Guy's 'Climb Ev'ry Mountain' and Shannon's 'What About Me'- you can never see those things coming. Also, Cosima's sex kitten image and and of course Millsy's eyeliner.
Drama should be fun esp. with the judges. Who could've guessed Mark bagging Levi (not Selwyn/Delwyn/Belwyn) after Paulini was in the bottom 2 and Dicko's comments on Paulini's gold dress.

For me there are a few stand outs.
Chanel - Obviously.
Angie - Great energy, great performer, great voice should overcome a somewhat less appealing physical look.
Marty - Dunno why he's the "rock man", he has a voice that can handle almost any genre.
Courtney - The most distinctive voice of the top 12
Hayley - Didn't really like her to start off with but looking at her group performance (back in the auditions) with Chanel, she showed she has a really interesting voice. Plus her personality is growing on me.
Casey - Very soulful voice, she needs to stop the whole surly teenage goth thing though. Haven't heard a positive word outta her mouth yet.
None of the others really do much for me... yet.

Hayley is the one who has convinced me the least as a Top 12 finalist, but that sort of intrigues me too because I want to see whether she proves people wrong again. I do think she should tone down her image a bit. Seems nice, though.
Same with Casey and Emelia.
Yeah, Daniel Belle could just be shy and very emotional. But does seem moody.
Amali is funny and seems very easygoing.
Courtney saying he wanted Angie out of the comp. (on Inside Idol) made him seem really competitive, even if he was half-joking.

After tonight's Inside Idol I have started to really like Dan (the tall one) after seeing him with his mother's cards and hearing the lovely things he said I think he's adorable!.....hope he does well! I also like Amali think she's got a lovely voice and personality and she's absolutely gorgeous looking! I think Chanel looks promising, she's a real individual and thats always refreshing! I like Angie's disco mama voice and personality she also looks promising, hope her throat gets better! I also like Courtney and think he has lovely mellow tones to his voice, hope he does well also! ;D I don't know about any of the others yet I'll have to wait and see.

of course Millsy's eyeliner. How cruel are you mentioning that. Some of us are still in recovery. I should have you banned. ;D They all sounded amazing (except Emelia)

Yes "big" Daniel is very sweet natured also agree Courtney is competitive.
Did anyone hear Courtney praise Ngaiire as the best of the wildcards before the show?

Fascinating watching their initial auditions and seeing how many only scraped in. They're all a more intense bunch than last year. The image makers are going to go to work on them earlier this year than was the case in 2003, and I think that's appropriate. In 6 weeks' time, Emelia, Hayley, Chanel will be gone. Chanel is talented, but all three will battle homesickness - that's evident already - and will get psyched out. Angie will sail through until at least the last 4. Daniel and Anthony's ability will get them through. They've both been forced to bury a little arrogance about their own ability along the way, but their faith in their very reliable voices will get them through. They'll both be in the last 5 or 6. Dan - nerves will be his problem. Looks and humble charm will be his salvation. He's the Shannon of 2004. Marty - closest thing to the Millsy of 2004. Amali - cute and entertaining personality, but the voice won't get her past the first 6 weeks. Casey - good enough voice to win, but needs more personality - Top 4 or 5. Courtney - taking a risk singing a song we've already heard him sing. Great personality - Top 3. Ricki-Lee - I'm not sure. It'll depend on song choice.

I dont agree, I like Dan, and think hes a much better singer than shannon actually all the 5 guys in the final 12 are better singers than Shannon! but will they go with distance with image/personality etc as well as talent?
