After some truly breathtaking performances, Holly Weinert and Brianna Carpenter took their rightful places amongst the Australian Idol top 12 last night.
I was so thrilled to see these girls make it through. They bring something truly unique to the top 12, and I can’t wait to follow their progress in the competition. You know, with so much talent amongst the Idol ranks this year it’s going to be really difficult to vote people out every week!
Before we do though, we’ve got the wildcard round on Sunday. Last night each judge chose two people to have a second chance at Idol glory. I was thrilled that the judges did it this way. It’s allowed us to have a very different bunch of contestants - not the contestants the majority wanted but the contestants that one person believed in enough. I’m also glad the wildcards weren’t chosen on the basis of gender. It seems crazy to me that Idol franchises seem so concerned with an even gender mix.
And so, Australia, your wildcard contestants are: Daniel Mifsud, Husny Thalib, Carl Riseley, Natalie Gauci, Mark Da Costa, Jack Byrnes, Dave Andrews, and Sarah Lloyd. It’s really a mixed bag, isn’t it? I’m thrilled that Husny, Daniel, and Natalie have another shot at making it through. I’m also expecting big things from Dave and Jack. Bring on Sunday!

You never know shonac. I know that a lot of people feel the way you do, but there are also a lot of people out there who really dig what Husny’s about. The audience reaction reminds me of the Bobby Flynn phenomena last year. There were just as many people hating on him as they were going crazy for him.
Maybe I’m just a bit left of centre. I really loved Bobby and I’m as excited about Husny this year. I think he’s a strong singer, a passionate performer, and he’s the only singer that brings real drama and theatre to the comp.
I don’t see what Marcia sees in Carl, but maybe there’s someone else out there that thinks he’s the best thing since sliced bread.
I’m just happy to let Australia decide. I know plenty of Husny fans, and I know we’ll be voting. :-)
