Just wondering...

If someone was born overseas, raised overseas, has an overseas accent, was musically trained overseas and resided overseas until as little as 5 years ago, do we have any right to claim him as the next Australian Idol? Is that weird to absolutely no one else? He's barely even lived here long enough to grab citizenship and he's already on Idol. Next

Oh you mean the Irish guy? Yeah I don't think that's fair. I mean UK had Idol, and he was certainly old enough to audition when it happend,right? We had the same thing, well something similar here in the states back in 2004. A girl was born in Fiji, moved to Arizona..not sure if she was a US citizen probably had a greencard or something..auditioned..got in the top 32..

Maybe it's me but I think an Idol should be a natural born citizen of the country.

lol I was talking about thid guy we have on Australian idol who only moved here from South Africa in 2001. He sitll has his accent and everything, it's odd. But yeah, the Irish guy is probably around the same thing. I'm just waiting for what South African dude is going to do for Australian Hits or Australian Numbers Ones.

Maybe it's me but I think an Idol should be a natural born citizen of the country. Exactly! It's a little weird to me tjhat someone can win and we go around claiming them as the Australian Idol when the extent to which he is Australian is debateable. *nods*
