Australian Idol graduates proved they’re tops with teens, taking out several major awards at last night’s Dolly Teen Choice Awards in Sydney.
Dean Geyer was named hottest music act, a title that may have as much to do with his looks as his talent. Last year’s third-place getter was thrilled to attend the awards show with his lady love, Lisa Origliasso of The Veronicas.
“This is the first awards night we’ve been to as a couple – it’s awesome,” he told The Daily Telegraph.
Guy Sebastian’s Close to The Sun was named most popular album, and Anthony Callea’s “Addicted To You” was the most downloaded ringtone. No, I can’t believe there’s an award for that either.
Australian Idol host James Mathison showed up his sidekick Andrew G by taking home the coolest VJ title.
Dan O’Connor showed his move to acting was a wise one by winning the King of Teen crown. Dan was the second top 12 competitor ousted from Australian Idol 2, but he’s stuck around a lot longer on teen soap Neighbours.
But the comment of the night has to go to Aussie Idol judge Dicko’s daughter, Edie. It seems the 14-year-old felt her daggy Dad was far too old for the Dolly awards.
“I brought him with me, he’s got too much grey hair to be here,” she said. Nice one Edie!
