big suprise, 13 year old girls prefer anthony to the other two
they do the voting, their idol wins

So its not who the better singer is but who can spend the most on SMS messages.... :roll:

Not everyone who votes for Anthony is a 13 year old girl :roll:

I actually quite agree with the setiment of the article that skeepe posted. Of all of last year's Idols, I have only bought one of their cd's (Levi's single) and dont really like any of the stuff they have put out. it seems Idol has quite a stranglehold over the Aussie music industry though. its quite disheartening to think that Aussie bands out there doing it tough, constantly touring playing gigs, are really just getting nowhere. Seems there are two scenarios - those who get their 15 minutes of fame and make a quick buck and those who struggle, but have longetivity in the industry. Which is better?

Never said that everyone who votes for him is 13, however the majority of that age group will be expalining $500+ phone bills to their parents.

But I do agree with the sentiments of both yours and skeepe's posts. I feel that Idol is a blight on the Music Industry but they are only really out to make a quick buck through record sales and a percentage of the telephone and sms profits....

Anthony's not bad, his version of Hold The Line was quite good. But in my opinion, Ricki-Lee was the only one that deserved to win, and it's a shame that she was voted out.

i agree

did you see how anthony apparently got 1400 messages of support whilst courtney got like 5 or something

:clap:
:lol: :lol: :lol:

Courtney was making a joke when he said he only got four messages, it shows the intellectual capacity of the average Anthony fan if you thought he was serious!

I reckon the final will be closer than people think, I reckon most of the Courtney fans will vote for Casey in the final, and she'll give Mr. Plastic Fantastic a run for his money.

i knew it was a joke

it shows your intellectual capacity if you couldnt see that i was joking


however they say that with every joke there's 50% truth

and i think with this joke that is the case


courtney's fan mail probably came to about 50 :)

Comparing the average Anthony fan to dimitri is unfair on the average Anthony fan.

Yes, it would be very surprising if Casey got more votes than Anthony.

Why would it be ???

She relates to people, unlike Anthony who was manufactured from Birt as a so called boy band idol - I bet his family are fuming right at the moment and are far from looking forward to recieving their next bill from Telstra :lol: :lol:

Oh darn what a pity he came second, the poor little midget - Maybe he could make it into the musical of Snow White and the 7 Dwarfs ;-)

Anthony has tonnes of talent and will still do well when his CD came out. I can't wait!!!!!

Shannon's album came out in early February, so it shouldn't be too long. :)
