Carl Riseley Bows Out of Idol Contest

In one of the closest verdicts this season, Australian Idol viewers sent home likable crooner Carl Riseley.

Just four percent separated Carl from remaining Idol hopefuls Matt Corby and Natalie Gauci. Despite coming so close to the Idol crown, Carl was gracious in defeat.

“Man, I am so thrilled for these two,” he told the studio audience. “These two are the most talented guys I have ever met.”

Next Sunday Matt and Natalie will perform three songs including the winner’s single “Here I Am.” Then they’ll head to the Sydney Opera House on November 25 to learn who will be our next Australian Idol.
