Longing for the day ...

Idol moments #2

OK, so, Angeline, Liza, Amali and Daniel. I'd give myself 2.5 for that.

Angie was no surprise - she was the pick of the night and will only get better with practice.

Amali I picked as well, actually, I wrote this bit between hearing the result for Angie and Amali. I still think she needs to do more to get further - especially about her movements - and go for some big notes.

Daniel - well, I don't think I've ever been happier about being wrong. I think it was probaby, as Mark said, that people felt sorry for the mauling he got. I'd rather he went through than Adrian, anyway, but I didn't think people would go for it ...

Adrian - well, OK, white boy soul was a big ask. Perhaps he's just too cliched. He certainly didn't stand out from what was a rather forgettable evening.

Things that stand out at this are that the voters are going to character and talent over flawless performance. I think that's a wonderful thing for the future of music in Australia. There's far too much "flawless" music around that's not worth hearing.

Can't wait for next week ...
