Thought you’d seen the last of Australian Idol loudmouth Tarisai Vushe? I know I had, but it seems this pint-sized pop diva is determined to make it in the music industry. She’s handpicked a star-studded backing band, and is currently preparing for her first big […]

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 […]

Australian Idol Top 6: Judges’ Choice

The Idols have faced harsh criticism over their song choices in recent weeks, so it must have been a relief to hand the control over to the judges. At least for half the night. Last night our Australian Idols sang a song picked by the judges, and another of their own choice.
It proved to be […]

We’re getting to the pointy end of Australian Idol. Our final seven appear calm, but the same can’t be said for the judges. I think the contestants all gave solid performances of songs released in the year of their birth, but it just didn’t seem to be enough to impress these tough critics.

Ben McKenzie was […]

Australian Idol In Acoustic Mode

I’d been really looking forward to Australian Idol’s acoustic night, and it definitely didn’t disappoint. There was only one touchdown but several other performances that probably deserved them. One even moved me to tears! Of course, all this isn’t surprising considering the Idols had some help from Australian music legend, Ian Moss. If you’re going […]

Lana Gets The Boot

After consistently bad reviews, Lana Krost bowed out of the Australian Idol finals last night. Her performance of Moloko’s “Sing It Back” was undoubtedly her strongest, but it wasn’t enough to convince Australia.
The pretty Perth teen took the news well, declaring “I’m going to look […]
