It’s taken some time, some tears, and some tantrums, but Australian Idol 2007 has been whittled down to just 24 competitors. If you believe the hype, and the comments on the blog, the one all the girls are watching this year is Matt Corby.
But don’t think this 16-year-old is just a pretty face. While his piercing blue eyes and shaggy hair may have sent hearts fluttering, it’s his soulful voice and guitar skills that saw him cement a place amongst the best of the best.
But the road to Idol fame and fortune won’t be easy for Matt. He’s in one of the toughest semifinal groups this Sunday. So how will he fare against fellow glamour boy Daniel Mifsud, former X Factor contestant Jacob Butler, swing king Carl Riseley, 80’s loving oddball Husny Thalib, and islander underdog Junior To’o? Remember kids: the only way to ensure he makes top 12 is to vote, vote, vote!
And now, as requested by some of Matt’s biggest fans Stacey and Mikaela, here’s a video of the man himself!
