I don't get this Casey thing. She sings Ok (sometimes) but is nothing exceptional. She is not just overweight but horribly obese - what kind of a role model does that make her? Don't get me wrong - I don't beleive you have to be thin to be an idol but she is just gross. I think she must be getting the votes from all the hordes of overweight Australians because she is like them and not because they really think she is the best singer. It wouldn't be so bad if she at least had some personality but she doesn't even seem to have that.She never smiles, always looks sour , her hair and clothes are awful............. And when she opens her mouth to speak not too much is said. And how come Courtney can be called overweight by the judges and she can't. What is this reverse sexism? Oh I forgot she's only 16 so we all have to vote for her because of that. I don't think so! How can people vote for her above Anthony who has a voice to die for and is well presented? If she wins then it will be a joke and heaven only knows what the world will think at World Idol. Yes Michelle McManus from the UK is also obese but at least she is attractive and appears to have some personality. My cats have more personality than Casey!

Hi Dr Kat - no prizes for guessing why you don't like this post (or are you a cat lover too?)

I could have just as easily said she has less personality than my dog.Would that have made a difference? It doesn't change the content . I still think a lot of people are voting because of her size and not her voice. Everytime someone phones in to comment on mix its " I'm a big girl too and I think she's wonderful............" etc

I'm a fairly lean to average seventeen year old male. I think Casey was the second best of the year (alas, Chanel was not to be). Not because she was sixteen. Not because she was overweight. Because she had the best range, one of the most powerful and the most emotionally charged voice of all on the show. Chanel was a better showperson, and I prefered her taste, but Casey has two of those three aspects over Anthony (he's more powerful, undoubtedly), plus I think she'd be a better showperson, but they're both lacking in that aspect. However, I feel she gives off a natural warmth despite her lack of interview skills and he, while professional, is rather bland and uninteresting in interviews.

How can you say that Casey is not attractive? She may not be thin but in my opinion she's a beautiful girl, both inside and out.

ignore Lynn she is obviously just an agry sore courtney fan who couldnt handle the fact that he was rejected.
i am a size 10 18 year old female and i think casey is a beautiful girl. who cares if she is obese you dont know her life story now do you lynn . she could be that punk gothic overweight look due to an unhappy upbringing (not that she was) . i think people like lynn should just face the facts that their idol is gone and the 2 best ones r left. and with all respect to courtney i dunno what your on about lynn if courtney got through he is just as big as casey or pretty close to it . therefore in your opinion they both shouldnt of gotten this far . so who should of then?

Well I am a 40 year old size 8-10, and it bears no difference to me what size Casey is. I think her voice is awesome. She will do well, whatever path she chooses - music or not. She is 16!!! That is amazing!!! To take on that initial commitment, to make the challenge, deal with the pressure and get to where she is now is truly admirable. I take my hat off to her. Truly amazing!!

Idol should be about why someone should win not why someone else shouldn't.
I don't think that it matters what size someone is if they are talented they should win. In idol that talent has to be fairly all encompassing. The winner requires a great voice, a good personality, style and marketability.
Let's get behind the person that we feel best fits the idol bill.
Lynn if you don't want to vote for Casey no-one is going to force you to but writing about her size is just mean spirited. So many girls have weight issues, any size can be beautiful and to me that is not a judging criteria.

I was under the impression that this was Australian Idol and people were voting for the performers talent, not a beauty contest. Does it really matter what size or shape a person is I might not vote for Anthony because he is short in stature. Maybe I wont vote for Casey because she has dreds. Courtney definitely had to go, maybe he needed a few highlights in his hair. Now people dont get sidetracked here I totally agree that the best presented person should win on the night, dont worry about their talent, just chose who looks good. So therefore I will be voting for Dicko, I reckon he looks good in a t-shirt
