And then there were five. Last night we said goodbye to Australian Idol nice guy Daniel Mifsud.

“It’s been such an amazing time,” he said after the verdict. “I’ve learned so much.”

I don’t think anything last night came as a surprise to anyone. While Daniel started out as an early favourite, he’s been let down by some dodgy song choices. Not that making the top six is anything to sneeze at.

Natalie, Matt, and Carl all earned touchdowns for their awesome performances, so it makes sense that Marty and Tarisai joined Daniel in the bottom three.

I wonder whether the unique announcement technique, where all the Idols stood on the stage, was used to add some interest to the fairly predictable proceedings.

Next week the Idols will celebrate the ARIAs by singing homegrown hits. It’s a nice broad theme that should result in some fantastic performances. If Marty doesn’t break out some John Butler Trio I’ll be shocked and amazed.
