Australia, meet your Australian Idol finalists. Last night we welcomed the final four members of the group to the fray, and prepared for the business end of the competition.
Daniel Mifsud and Mark Da Costa were the audience favourites, scoring the highest number of viewers votes after their performances on Sunday night. I was disappointed, but not surprised. I was sweating on Husny scoring one of the spots, knowing Mark could never convince the other judges to back him, but it was not to be. There’s been so much hype around the other boys though, the result was a little predictable.
Not so the judges’ choices, which came after a sublime performance from last year’s oddbod, Bobby Flynn.
Carl Riseley was the first judges’ pick, something I really didn’t expect. I know he did quite well on Sunday night, but surely one good performance isn’t enough. The judges’ second choice was a lot more obvious. Natalie Gauci has been such a consistent performer throughout this competition, and she certainly deserves her place.
So what did you think? I’d love to know your views on the wildcards, and the top 12 generally? Who shouldn’t have missed out, and who doesn’t deserve a top spot?
