Madam Parker Sent Home from Australian Idol

by lkatulka on October 6th, 2008

Australian Idol 2008 Top 12 Finalists

Madam Parker is the latest Australian Idol contender to get the chop from the reality TV competition. The soul star found herself in a surprising bottom three with Roshani Priddis and Chrislyn Hamilton. All three gave solid performances in the “sing for your life” round, but Madam was ultimately sent home.

I think ultimately her undoing was her lack of versatility. We saw her do soul great, but when we stepped outside that genre she fell into a heap. She’s got bundles of potential though and I do hope she pursues her musical career after this.

Next week our Idols prepare to rock with the help of mentors Kirk Pengilly and Tim Farris of INXS. I can’t wait!

    I agree she wasn’t good outside r&b, soul but boy was she good when she did sing that stuff. I was really hoping she would stick around. sad

    She sure was Lenora. I’m not normally a fan of that kind of music, but when she did “Closer” it was my favourite performance of the night. When she was good she was very very good. Idol’s just so competitive though this year … I’m starting to feel like I don’t want anyone to leave!

    She was really good and when she did closer she was the winner on the night,but it was up to everyone to vote for madam if they wanted her to stay in the show just dont talk about it do it. I personally think that she was actually one of the better singers on that show, but it wasn’t only up to me.

    I was sad with her leaving but since “Closer” she just was going down and down with her performances, and Dancing Queen kick her out of the dance :(

    But she should go on with House, Dance, R&B, Soul kind of music for her album, i’ll love it
