Australian Idol has a top 12! But just like this entire series of Idol, it wasn’t without surprises. We’re used to the public choosing two wildcards and the judges choosing the remaining two. Not so this year, with the judges deciding to put three of their favourites through to the finals. Would it have changed the results any? Who knows. I’m certainly happy with the result.
The judges elected to send star performer Roshani Priddis, “rough diamond” Luke Dickens, and quirky singer-songwriter Jonny Taylor through to the finals. Ex-pat Sophie Paterson was the audience favourite, earning her rightful place in the top 12.
So now it’s on to the pointy end of things. With such amazing talent making up our top 12, I say bring it on!
