Awwww home again home again! That's adorable!
I don't know this song. But god Nathan looks funny singing while dragging along a stool. Holy crap, is that a harp in the orchestra? JIMMY MY BOY!!
Hayley my dear there are more holes in those jeans than there is denim. And stop it with the arm would you, please. I love you, but really.
LOL WELL TIMED MOSH PIT.
Aw, Kate, snuggling up to everyone. Stan, you sound terrible falsettoing up there. Is that Kate doing the girly undertones? That was okay.
Lol Kim the pop princess; that's adorable.
... What is Nathan wearing? Is that a tunic under that hoodie?
"I lose a fortune on the Spring Carnival; I'm the worst tipster in Australia!"
OHOHO, guessed wrong, Dicko. And DON'T YOU DARE PICK ON MY BOY JIMMY
I really wish it had been Stan. :(
Awww, she took off the hat at last.
"Oh, no, you're the one that sang; I just stand here and read phone numbers!"
Did Andy just call Kate one of the best in seven years?
Ricki! Your sleeves are adorable! ADORABLE!
JIMMY~
"I don't think I've been asked how I am in about..."
CHRIST HE'S SO CUTE ;_; Awww, he performed live on the radio! That's so adorable how gobsmacked he is by everyone who loves him.
Mercy. It's been transposed well, his voice is rockin' it. Oh my god, why is he so cute babyface and his dancing
"GO JAMES~"
"Shut up!"
Dicko's got a point on smiling through the angsty song, though.
I hope Toby got to see his kids again. ♥ AWWWW THEY SANG TO HIM
OASIS. ♥ Don't Look Back in Anger. He's not putting enough power into it, I think. But, uh... Is he trying to put in some of the Irish twang of the original? :/
Observation: The judges get video screens of what we get. Huh.
What the hell, Marcia, you've never seen him teach. I think JD's right about Toby being rock enough, though. He really does need a better genre though. Acoustic pop, maybe?
Awwww, Nathan getting swamped at a primary school! It's almost getting to a politician kissing babies kind of campaign. :S
That guy next to Andy is dressed exactly like Nathan.
Makes Me Wonder. Mic swing, shot! Haha, nice full stop censor there. Wardrobe, can you dress this boy a bit better? Haha oh wow I love how he's still not used to the ear pieces.
I love the Maggi Kiwi dip ad and its gender reversals. And I love the casual trans-Pacific rivalry of the Mitre 10 "DIY: It's in our blood" campaign.
Hayls, my darling. That's so sweet, her parents missing her and tearing up. SHE SKATES?! Awwww, Bleach Academy. ♥
"Thank you everyone for coming, this is really embarrassing..."
Killers! Brilliant! Toby could take lessons from Hayls on rock. That key change was somewhat clumsy. :/
"Hayley is a stone cold Idol"
"You with the glasses, shut up!"
Did Dicko just call Hayley cool.
Ooh, tough question from Dicko on solo vs. fronting a band. That said, Daughtry went through Idol and then fronted a band, yeah? All those kids coming through Idol and finding themself in front of the nation kind of break my heart though.
Ha, thanks, JD, for validating my concerns about the key change.
I... can't find it in me to be surprised that Stan has over nine thousand relatives. He's Maori. Of course.
Aha. Ricki loves Stan because she's fromt he Gold Coast too. I forgot about that.
Gosh, I'm glad they're playing the original of Single Ladies instead of his shitty version. LMAO they're trying to fill his spot at the shop, that's brilliant. He seriously dresses so Kiwi. He could be any Rongotai boy.
Sigh. Hallelujah. I love this song, I love that they put in a harp, but I hate Stan. A shame that this beautiful arrangement is wasted on him.
I admire JD's self awareness of his unpopularity :D Damn right Stan's gotta work on his articulation.
Jimmy boy ♥ Awwww, he's finally playing on the show! I don't know Kings of Leon at all. Is that a Rhythm and Vines shirt? Hm, he really is a really smiley performer. Aw, damnit, why did he even bother starting with guitar if he's going to elt it go? Aya Hirano, I'm looking at you.
HAHA at the girls in the audience looking back at the camera.
"When ___ gets behind the microphone, it's like raw sex. That was like a cup of tea behind the microphone."
Acoustic all the way would have worked better, actually.
LIGHT AND SHADE, SKULL.
Marcia interrupts politely. Huh.
Coldplay on Idol. Huh. Oh, Toby, you and your bizarre song choices. You're not playing the game right. Nice "open up your eyes and give me love over" bit there, though, good work up in that higher register.
"Mate, you're a pain in the ass, but I love you for it."
Nathan, my lad! Why do I feel like we've had Mad World already? Oh, boy, I see you fixing your pants there. What is that shirt doing.
LOL at the girl trying to start a sway - oh, and she's got at least one more person!
Holy crap, Nate's falsetto amazes me every time.
Whoops, Ricki got cut off by the ad break.
Hayley, my girl. Paloma Faith, Stone Cold Sober. That sign earlier suddenly makes sense. I don't know the song at all but it's working for her. And is she not in jeans?! Dress and leggings works for her! Thank you, stylists.
I love how long it takes Dicko to shut up the audience after Hayls sings.
"Hayley Warner! Making the band earn their money! I like that!"
Oh god Michael Buble at the finale adsihoasdio
Hi Stan. :| I may rant about Toby not playing the game but Stan is just a walking cliche on one hand and what on the other. And standing with the backup singers is how not to get yourself noticed. Whoops, the falsetto on "just as fast as I can" fell down there.
"I'm not quite sure how we're going to fit five people behind that desk; someone will have to sit on someone's lap."
