Thank god the dull as batshit Big Brother is over and something good can start, Aus Idol.

At least this show is about talented people doing interesting stuff, not untalented people doing boring stuff.

Who else is gonna be glued to their telly on Sun nights?

Maybe not for the first few weeks. I think I'll join in when the final 12 have been selected. The less I have to see of Dicko and Kyle, the better my sanity will be.

I have a theory that they will dump Kyle at the end of this series, and just move Dicko back into his place so it will be just 3 of them again. Mark my words.

Kyle is a fucking psychotic deadbeat, I hope he gets killed during the season.

Oh and for the presenters, I saw the one with the eyes popping out of his head emerging out of the toilets at the Lowenbrau wiping a white powder off his sleeve.

I couldn't have said it better myself Jackie!

I'll be watching for sure! So You Think You Can Dance is starting again soon too - can't wait!

I just really hope Dicko and Mark both gang up on him and he cries and has little tantrums all the time... that'll keep it interesting through the boring bits and the sad ass theme nights!

Yes, a Dicko vs Kyle fight is going to be fantastic.

Dicko will verbally beat him any day, but Kyle will just hurl a schoolyard insult back.

its one of the only reasons im going to tune in...

I've never watched it. I will only watch such talent shows if they bring back either Pot Luck or Ford New Faces. Somebody please resurrect Bernard King only he can save us!!!

I probably won't watch ... then again ... watching people make complete fools of themselves seems sort of satisfying. And a dicko vs kyle fight ... hmm I'm almost sold.

All I can say is: thank god Big Brother is finished for the years (and hopefully it never comes back), and there is now something interesting to watch on Sundays. Idol is hot!

I haven't watched this season at all... Sunday night is movie night at the wallis residence

Watched last night and found it so hard to follow who was being chucked out at each stage due to the crappy editing. I mean that first group with the whingey girl from NT who was going to quit and then mark managed to persuade her to stay and then they performed and they were just crap. Then as far as I could see they were told they were staying! How is that possible? And then they said it was down to 68 but you couldn't tell who left from the group stage.

At least tonight it should be pretty clear when they tell them all. I just wish they would focus more on the good singers so that we can see each stage of their audtions so that we can start forming views on them all.

Kyle is useless and demonstrates that each time he opens his mouth and reveals that he knows nothing about music apart from the songs which are on high rotation at 2Day.

I'm hoping when it goes live Dicko and Mark expose his lack of knowledge live on air.

Some of the guys look good. I like the guy who wears make-up who was arguing with the guy with bleached blonde hair. He seems interesting.

I value my sense of hearing, so I shall no doubt watch with the set on mute and the latest Paul Van Dyk album on rotation. The wailing budgies (australian idol) and charismatic voids (big brother) series are just starting to get tedious.

I really really don't like Dicko.
In fact i don't really like any of the idol "Judges"
Mark is lame - i mean the whole touchdown thing is so cringeworthy!!!!!!
Dicko is a wooden as Pinnochio
Kylie is just mean for mean's sake
And don't get me started on Marcia Hines.
The one woman self promotion team - I wonder if she'll have another album out this year to promote?????

im so excited bout idol
looking forward to all the ups and downs
i cry at least once a year when one of the performers does really well
(like last year with damien and nessun dorma)
might actually go to a show this year so my clapping and chearing that goes on wont seem so outta place.
i hope that NT chick gets in, so far her attitude has been a little on the crap side, but god can she sing and will do really well.
just hope she wants to

Saw it last night and most of the final 24 I agree with and they look pretty strong.

I had hoped the 19 year old guy with the dark hair had of gone through as he was awesome. The judges said he was too young but then put through 2 sixteen year olds. The trumpet playing guy looks a bit naff to me.

I'm already hooked - so much talent, so many hotties, so many arguments between the judges!

3 words for you - MUST SEE TV!

What's the name of the 16 year-old guy? Matt Corby I think?

I'm picking him as the winner already. He's as pretty as Dean Geyer but he can actually sing!

I just hope he's not another bible basher.

What is it with australian idol and in your face christians anyway?

This is Matt Corby if you haven't seen him yet.

Same Same Media Player

Matt Corby Audition - YouTube

I knew that guy would end up on samesame haha

haevnt been following yet, he is good

Yes, he is very good.

Christian: let's get an interview with him!

Yuck, he's from Cronulla as well, he probably also performs in his klansman outfit

he is v good but I don't think he's a pretty as Dean Geyer at all.... some very cute boys tho!! Am looking forward to next week - 4 shows in a row, YAY!!!

Feeling very idolish today as off to see Lisa Mitchell from last years idol at the hopetoun tonight. I'll report back tomorrow.

Ah wicked, she was never quite the Idol mould, but such a unique voice.

I loved her, thought she was really pretty and with a fantastic voice, far too good for idol, i'm glad she's still around and from what i hear, getting a lot of newspaper space....

Yeah apparently she has been writing her album with paul mac, ben lee and a few other reasonable names so I have high hopes for her material.

I'd love her to play her version of Coldplays 'See you Soon' too as that was one of the highlights of last years Idol for me.

Wow, that's a pretty great pedigree to write your first album with.
