Cherish Live Concert Raises Funds for Young Hospital

Some of Australia’s top entertainers will travel to the country town of Young for a charity show later this month.

Cherish Live will help raise funds for a renal unit at Young Hospital. Currently people requiring kidney dialysis must travel to Canberra three times a week for the treatment, a four-hour return trip which takes its toll on the already sick patients.

Evermore, Thirsty Merc, and Australian Idol graduates Luke Dickens, Roshani Priddis, and Teale Jakubenko will headline the charity show.

This is a really great cause, so I hope anyone who’s even close to Young gets out there and supports it.

Tickets are available online for $80 plus the booking fee.

Roshani Priddis Gets Australian Idol Chop

Roshani Priddis‘ run on Australian Idol has come to an end.

After stellar performances early in the competition, fans could no longer forgive Roshani for some questionable song choices. She found herself in the bottom three with Teale Jakubenko and Luke Dickens, but ultimately her time was up. Personally I thought Roshani did great last night, but I guess the judges knew what they were talking about. And someone had to go!

The greatest tragedy is that we won’t get to hear this pint-sized soul diva take on the songs of Michael Jackson next week. But I can’t wait to see how the other Idols go with this awesome theme!

Australian Idol Top 12 Revealed

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!
