Last night Australian Idol bid a fond farewell to likeable Central Coast lad, Marty Simpson. A regular in the bottom three throughout the competition, he showed his resilience to make it to the top four.
In his farewell speech Marty thanked everyone involved with the show, particularly Idol HQ House Manager Sam for his breakfast smoothies.
I know many who read this blog are happy to see the back of Marty, but I’m not one of them. Throughout the competition he’s taken every criticism under his belt, and used them to improve his performances. I love the rich easy tone of his voice, and I’m going to miss it on the Idol stage.
Next week the remaining three contestants will sing songs chosen by the voting public. I love this theme as you never know quite what you’re going to get. It should be fun!
