KELLY CLARKSON
Kelly won!!! Apparently, everyone was told (in the audeince to keep quiet) once show ended - it has already been screened in the UK but the monkeys couldn't stop cheering and they blurted it all out. By the way, with the press, can u ever get out?
I do not know final placements but will post it here once done!
Once again, congratz to KELLY!!! I knew you'd do it!

Voting -- Sphinx, 23:05:49 01/01/04 Thu [1]
Reguardless of the results, did anyone else find the voting not fair? In America we only had two hours after the show ended to cast votes. In other places I've heard they had 24 hours or more. Doesn't it seem like the time allocated to place votes should be universal?

Congrats Kurt -- Janice, 19:17:07 01/01/04 Thu [2]
Kurt has a good voice. But It worries me that The public vote went against Simon wich means if he really wants to he can get the results he wants. Just a thought!
I am so glad kelly did not win.
Heinz we are so proud of him!! Just to come 4th is great what an achievment for SA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

World Idol was fab! -- David Wannabe Beckham, 19:38:22 01/01/04 Thu [1]
WOW!!! It sums up 1 hour of a great show. I must tell you that this years result show is so thrilling, and the winner Kurt was absolutely fabulous. And it keeps you thrilled 'till the last minute.
The show opened with the blasting intro of the 11 contestants, which I think was really awesome. It was great to see a recap. Than, after the intro, an ad break. After that we were treated to a performance by Victoria Beckham who exuded sex appeal in a fantastically tight maroon dress. Ahh, I envy David Beckham, his nights of passion must be awesome (hehehe-)
Anyways, her singing was okay, but her looks were better. (OKAY, I better stop!). Then, they showed the worst SINGERS of all time, which was really funny. You'll see the worst singers, a South African was voted 4th WORST in the world. She really made me laugh.
Afterwards, they showed who the worst judges were. They showed snippets from all the countries shows, and I'll leave it to you to guess who won. Ant and Dec were better today. and hey, WE ARE ONLY 360 days away from Christmas!
Yeah, they were really entertaining.
Finally, the excitement builds up with each country revealing the votes. Ryan Seacrest gave the results for America. And mind you, the results are sooo entertaining. Between first and second is only about 5 points difference. All I want to say is congratulations to our Heinz for placing so well. (4th place_) He really made us proud. But I was disappointed, one country voted him 2nd last- what a poinker! (is that a word?)- If he placed higher in this country, he would have done even better, maybe 3rd place!
Anyways, Kurt won and sang the song he sang at the contest on 25 December. Overall, World Idol was a great show, and apparently, World Idol 2 is gonna kick ass in August this year, in LOS ANGELES, USA!!! It's happening this August, so looking forward to that.

Kelly Clarkson won- Reuters -- Malcolm X, 13:30:15 01/01/04 Thu [5]
I saw on the website, that a group of cheering fans yelled the winner, despite being cautioned by producers "to conceal the revelations".
Apparently, American fans in the UK were so happy by the victory of Kelly that the press found out Kelly won. "This will now destroy the ratings on fox" a spokesperson said for FOX.
Very interestin...

How could Kelly have won? The show has not yet been filmed -- Bubbling mind, 14:18:25 01/01/04 Thu [3]
What is goinf on? I heard the show is only happening at 6pm in South African time. Now, they come up with something else...
Please help, it's now 3:18 pm in SA, 6pm is still 2.5 hours away. Is this people just trying to stir things up? But I know Jenna from America is a good source...
Very curious!

Ratings of the show all over the world -- Lisa, 09:35:19 01/01/04 Thu [2]
Millions watched, here's the ratings.
North America:
Canada: 1.9 million
USA: 6.7 million
Africa:
South Africa: 0.8 million
Rest of Africa (on DsTV): 1.6 million
Europe:
UK: 1.2 million
Norway: 0.6 million
Poland: 3.8 million
Netherlands: 0.6 million
Rest of Europe: 1.4 million
Asia:
Not many countries showed World Idol in Asia. A total batch on 0.7 million watched in Asia.
Middle_easT:
Jordan: 1.1 million
Rest of Arab regions: 1.4 million
Australia and other parts:
Australia: 2.2 million
New Zealand: 0.6 million
Rest of Oceania: 0.4 million
That means only 30.4 million watched World Idol 2003- not 100 million as the hosts said would. This is because TV is watched 40% less on Christmas Day or rather from 20 Dec- 10 Jan. People do not watch much TV during this time, I hope the organisers will choose a different date for World Idol 2. NOT FESTIVE SEASON TIME, OK?

World Idol sucks! -- Tammy, 22:56:11 12/31/03 Wed [3]
American Idol is wayyyy better than World Idol. The concept is too rushed. What a bore. Can't wait for Jan 18th- the premeire of World Idol.
To my two best friends: Brandon and Steinie- Happy New Year. Hope World Idol 2 (as I see in the logo is scheduled for sunny LA in late summer) will be a blast. And to Jenna from America, while u enjoying the snow in New York, it's just cold in LA.
See ya'll tomorrow, before World Idol results. Psst, I think Kelly won, it is a rumor.

What do you guys think of the Pan-Arab chick? -- Imtiaz, 13:43:01 12/28/03 Sun [5]
Salaams, I am from Tehran in Iran and I've just joined your beautiful forum. World Idol is great show, I watched it on TV and we are allowed to vote for our beautiful Diana. She is seen as the underdog, but I've met many people who think she's a star!
We are allowed to vote, only in Jordan they can't vote. That means over 8 countries will vote for Diana. She is truly a princess.

Step aside, Kelly ... here comes ANKE! -- Steinie, 13:09:26 12/27/03 Sat [9]
This year's World Idols is a bit of a farce due to the fact that Kelly and Will have been promoted and marketed world wide. Hats off to the other (unknown) contestants for their brave attempts in the face of adversity!
But just you wait for next year's World Idols. South Africa's newest Idol, Anke Pietrangeli, will blow their socks off!

My bets on World Idol -- Jenna from America, 17:54:58 12/27/03 Sat [3]
World Idol has been a spectacular show. Although a bit hurried, I am a great supporter and hope all the contestants best of luck. The World Idol system is awarding 627 points altogether- each country has 67 points to dish out.
12 for their own country, 10 for 1st, 9 for 2nd and so on... So, with these points, a contestant can get a maximum of 112 points, the minimum 22 points. So hopefully, it will be a tight competition.
My stakes are as follows:
11th- Alex (Poland)
10th- Peter Evrard (Belgium)
9th- Alexander Klaws (Germany)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8th- Diana Karazan (Pan Arab)
7th- Jamai Loman (Netherlands)
6th- Ryan Malcolm (Canada)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4th runner-up: Heinz Winckler (South Africa)
3rd runner-up: Guy Sebastian (Australia)
2nd runner-up: Kurt Neilson (Norway)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And the final two are: Will Young and Kelly Clarkson- guess what... find out who wins- tomorrow! I will publish my final analysis on who of these two should win. See the prons and cons of each of these two tomorrow... meanwhile, you decide. Who should win? Will or Kelly??

!!!!BREAKING NEWS!!!!!! Kelly Clarkson won the South African + Australian vote -- Catherine Lovejoy, 21:50:54 12/26/03 Fri [5]
Wow- I have looked everywhere for a decent forum on World Idol and finally I've found one. I have the most exciting news, especially for Kelly Clarkson fans. The voting in South Africa and Australia (who's lines have just closed) have been revealed by sources at dailynews.yahoo and Yahoo ads.
I am so excited by this thought. Apparently, in Australia, they did not vote for South Africa and in South Africa, they did not vote much for Australia. In SA, the three were Kelly, Will and Kurt. In Australia, it was Kelly, Will and Ryan of Canada.
I will update you on the latest all the time!!

11 Idols, 1 winner, who will it be????? -- The Hulk, 14:41:24 12/21/03 Sun [7]
I love this whole World Idols thing. I think it honestly gives each individual a chance to show the world what he/she is made of. Each representative is in his own right a winner- I mean they all had to win a national Idols competition first, before coming to World Idol, and so here are my thoughts on what will happen, come Christmas Day.
The Unfair Advantage
I think since Will Young (UK) and Kelly Clarkson (US) have already cracked the international market, they should not have been participating. But then again, everyone must participate. I think from all eleven, these two will be seen as the BIG ONES. Every contestant regards the other competitors as rivals, but these two are for sure on top of the list. I hope that the judges will be fair in their comment, although I have heard otherwise. I am sure, that despite Kelly and Will's publicity, all other nine finalists are given equal TV time to showcase their true talent, instead of wasting something so fabulous. The show should be impartial, true to viewers, and hopefully not edited to make other contestants look less demanding and forthright during the show.
Conetestant Review
Alex (18) from Poland
I reckon this girl is every bit as sexy as diva Kelly. I haven't heard her voice, but people have said it is angelic. I think her chances of winning are slim, but I hope she wows me enough to get my vote.
Alexander (19) from Germany
I dunno why, but I like this guy big time. He is very good-looking and so expect many girls to vote for him. He will have a good chance of winning, unless he kills the song he's singing and Simon tears him to pieces.
Diana (19) from Jordan
I am a bit skeptical on this one. She represented a Pan-Arab competition, thus is a well known woman throughout the Arabic region. Ok, so Jordan can't vote for her, but I bet many people from the Arab lands will ONLY vote for her. *Remember, the show is broadcast in 22 countries, despite only 11 particpating. Hope she has a great voice.
Guy (22) from Australia
I have heard reports from many that his voice is not that spectacular! Plus, his looks make me shreek! Ok, not the looks, the hair! A big no-no for a World Idol. I HOPE he messes up!
Heinz (25) from South Africa
Many said he was voted because of his good looks. Many said his runner-up should have won. Many blamed the South African show to be rigged. Many said BLAH, BLAH, BLAH! I want to hear his voice, but I bet he'd do well because I heard he sang a Walt Disney song. And his CD sales went Double Platinum... not bad at all!
Jamai (17) from Netherlands
This guy CAN really sing well. Apparently, people went crazy over him, and he got over 80% of the votes on the Netherlands show during the finale. Also, he really "makes" people love him. I can't wait to see what he got to offer.
Kelly Clarkson (21) from USA
I'm not complaining. She has a starlet voice. Amazing and pure. Her "Miss Independant" went Number One is America and Australia. "A moment like this" was also bluddy brilliant. She has many votes 'already' cast for her.
Kurt (24) from Norway
I think he'll do OK. Maybe 6th, or 7th or 8th. You'll see. This guy is destined for a middle place position. He'll get votes 'cause he's from Europe (and possibly for his voice). He won't get votes because he is the most unatractive of the bunch. And whoever begs to differ, I DARE you to!
Peter (28) from Belgium
If this competition was called "OLD IDOL" he'll definitely win it. His hair is ugly. His voice is nice. Is he a rock star? We'll have to wait and see. I think he'll be remembered for his 'different' look, but will people vote for him? We'll have to wait and see. His chances are not that strong. By the way, where is Beligium?
Ryan (24) from Canada
Rumors reckon that his performance was the best of all, beating both Kelly and Will. I'd like to see what he has to offer and if he delivers, I will vote for him. I think he'll place well. Just vote for him if he dazzles you with his song, ok?
Will (24) from UK
I've heard many say they will not vote for him because he is gay. But, hello, Elton John is attending, and he is gay. What is it about sexual preference that makes everyone so damn picky. I am a heterosexual man, and if he sings well, I WILL vote for him!
Well, that wraps us my thoughts on World Idol 2003. A review will come on December 25th and on December 29th- again on January 2nd. Happy Holidays to one and all, enjoy the holidays and stay well.
By the way, I am from UK!

Considering that kelly Clarkson, will young have already hit the world markets its a given they will win.
I support Heinz all the way, he is my Idol.
Watch out next year Anke from SA will be there and she will definilty give USA and UK a run for there money.
I like Kelly but to me if i heard her song on the radio i would not be sure if it was her or Alicia Keys or .............. I love Will he is great because he is original and different. I thought alot of the singers were terible I think we need Simon to judge in all the coutries =)

just my thoughts. -- T, 01:08:33 12/27/03 Sat [1]
I only caught the last hour of the show. Seeing the recaps made me regret that our tv guide gave the start time incorrectly, because mostly I was impressed by everyone. I wish that they would replay the show!
I was impressed by all the singers who sang in a non-native language and I thought Diana's voice was beautiful; her song exotic.
I live in the US. I sure wish that they would show some of the other countries' Idol shows here! I was in Canada for three weeks this summer and was amazed at their show -- in the US, they never even mentioned the Canadian show, and yet, the Canadians apparently got to see ours!
Anyway, given that I missed half the show, I liked the US and Norwegian contestants the best. Having seen Ryan Malcolm (Canada) over the summer, I also liked him. I didn't particularly care for the British contestant's singing, but liked his comment about how these competitions keep one from getting a swelled head.
Of the contestants that I only caught a recap of, I thought South Africa's entry was very good. I hope that they make a World Idol CD, because that may be the only way some of them get US airtime.
Best wishes to all.

Will Young is my Idol -- CrossOver, 19:22:27 12/26/03 Fri [1]
The gay community around the world are going nuts, voting for the star, Will Young. I am a heterosexual woman but will vote for Will, my ultimate favourite for World Idol. Thank goodness he sang brilliantly. And to the Polish judge who said he sings like Mr Bean, I say- you LOOK like Mr Bean, just a bit uglier.
Will YOung has a lot of support and I hope that he achieves at least a Top3 spot. I think he has an ultra-cool voice and he exudes personality. This personality is confidence (and he aint too over-confident) and he is a gentleman. If anyone told me I sing like Mr Bean, even though I know I'm world class, I'd bash back calling the bum an idiot. But Will took it in stride, replying, "Thank you very much Sir"- can one call the idiot a Sir, did you see how he was up in arms, screaming like and idiot for God-knows-what. No wonder the Polish winner, Alex is such a big mouth. I think they suit each other.
I like Simon Cowell comparing some singers on the catgory of racehorses to donkeys. I appreciate Randall Abrahams, who has immaculate knowledge on music, and what was Pete Waterman on about saying the South African Heinz lacked compassion. And doubly Simon, agrees with him, saying he got "Film star good looks, great voice, but not what the Australian guy has"- I think that was unfair.
So, I've voted twenty times for Will and five times for Peter. I voted once each for Kurt, Heinz and the Arabian gal, Diana. I think her voice is very pure...
Anyways, I hope Will takes it. He was the first Pop Idol, and deservingly should win World. I hope it happens- light my fire baby!

WOW, America WILL VOTE FOR Kurt! -- Tammy, 11:20:12 12/26/03 Fri [2]
I was absoultely in awe by the magnificent projection of Kurt. I know he may look like a "hobbit" as UK judge Pete Waterman told him, but his voice absoultely blew me away. In the end of the show, as I tried to vote for him, the fone was engaged for a full two hours before I could get through. FOX reports that viewership ratings were outstanding, as World Idol grabbed over 17 million viewers, growing on the hour to 19.6 million.
The lines are toll-free in America, so remember to vote or Text vote. Kurt will win America's leg, but I hope Kelly wins it overall!

My idols -- Sarah, 12:18:31 12/26/03 Fri [3]
When Alexander opened the show, I thought I was watching a bad soundmix-show, I hope he can do better then this, otherwise, I'm very disappointed by the Germans... Guy Sebastian and Jamai didn't impress me, Kelly and Will are obviously products of the american and brittish consumation society, easy to swallow, and I can't see what people see in Heinz, obviously bad taste...
Alex impressed me with her maturity (she really stood there!!), and Ryan and Diana were not too bad either...
But the real winners are...
Peter Evrard and Kurt Nilsen of course... They obviously can sing and they impressed by staying true to themselves... I don't think one of them will win (and honestly, I think it's better that way), but I really do hope that they will get the possibilities to make a big music carreer.
By the way, I hope they showed in every country how Peter had a reply the arrogant and subjective jury !!!

I've just checked this website the whole day and finally seeing some activity. So, how was Ryan, our Canadian Idol? -- Lacy MacMahon, 20:58:52 12/24/03 Wed [4]
Hi to South Africa who just watched the show. How was it? I'd like to know what you guys thought of Ryan's performance. He sang "He aint heavy (he's my brother)"- How did he do? What did the judges say about his performance?

Review of the show -- Brandon, 20:52:07 12/24/03 Wed [5]
Hi to the world. I am quite disappointed with tonight's show and I think Simon put it best "This is not World class"!
The show had at most 6 good singers, namely- Kelly Clarkson, Guy Sebastian, Heinz Winckler, Jamai Loman, Will Young and Kurt Neilson.
The show opened with the introduction of 11 finalists. How interesting it was to see the various shows and features. Biggest impression were Kelly Clarkson ONLY. I was surprised to learn the Canadian Idol came back to the show from the wildcard phase of the competition.
Singers:
I can't belive it. Alex was atrocious. What a beeeeg mouth. The rock star guy was nice, just nice. This is a Pop show, right? Alexander was almost chopped by a hammer, yes, CHOPPED by a HAMMER! I can't understand how some even won the national competition. It was pathetic, the performances were VERY disappointing. I have to admit that South Africa does have better performers, even the amatuers. But hey, we all differ in taste.
The Judges:
Thumbs up to Simon Cowell for telling that irritating Canadian judge a mouthful. "You are not fit to judge such a competition"- yes, I could not agree more. I have not seen such a childish, immature man as the Polish judge. Screaming, saying Will Young sings like "Mr Bean"- hello? Is he mad? I think the judge with the most professionalism is by far Randall Abrahams. His comments were fair, maturely handled and did ypu notice they showed his comments for all the contestants. His comments were well approached and very accurate. Pete Waterman was also great, and Simon very entertaining. But, that Canadian judge would have been dead if I were next to him. I could not handle the sight of his face on the TV- oooh, it was frustrating.
OVERALL:
Kelly must win. Or Will Young. Maybe Guy or Heinz. Possibly Neil- the "darkhorse" as said by many judges. But the rest have no chance. KELLY CLARKSON should win this, and she will. I've just voted 5 times for her. Her version of "Like a Natural Woman" was superb. Will Young's rendition of "Light my Fire" was very nice. He is a gentleman- very good manners.
That's my review. This year was a bit disappointing. Hopefully, World Idol 2 will be better. And this time, South Africa might have a chance with the dazzling Anke, since she has the best voice I've ever heard, even gives Kelly a run for her money.
Speak to ya'll soon,
Brandon

4 days to go!!! -- Krissy (USA), 13:30:06 12/21/03 Sun [5]
I heard South Africa is showing it on 24 December. We are only showing it on Christmas day, meaning that FOX will air the show 1 day later than South Africa... damn...!
Another question: I heard each country is gonna have a different view of the show- that's a really dumb idea if you ask me... It's also very dumb. Congratz to the Brit winner, hope she does UK proud at World Idol 2. I heard World Idol 2 happens next year in August!

The show -- Thandi Mokwesi, 21:19:27 12/24/03 Wed [2]
I was horrified by the Belgium guy. He sang horrifically, and I though South Africans were bad!!
Next year, Anke will kick ass...
Just a question: How do such pathetic wingers (apart from a few, like Kelly, Will, Heinz, Guy and Kurt) even win these contests. That must mean that singers in other countries are really, really bad! Can't wait for the results. 1 january at 7pm in SA on m-net

Websites: www.wyoung.co.uk AND www.popidolwilliam.co.uk/biography.htm

Heinz Winckler is gonna rock -- Brandon (mod4), 15:44:22 12/20/03 Sat [1]
Hi, I've just mailed the official Idols website (www.worldidol.tv) to list this site. Hope they agree!
I dunno if Heinz will win, but my second choice is definitely Kelly Clarkson with Alexander Klaws a firm fave at thrid. I don't think I'll be voting for Will Young or Guy Sebastian or even the Canadian dude- what's his name again.
Here are my fave's... (Kelly and Alexander)
How voting works:
Each country gets to vote using their own voting systems. The home contestant from each participating country (e.g. Will Young in the United Kingdom) will automatically start with the highest points (12) awarded from their own country. Viewers from each country will then vote on the remaining ten contestants and once the votes are tallied and the position of each contestant is determined (1st place, 2nd place etc.) points will be awarded in accordance with the Points System below.
Points System:
Home country contestant - 12 points.
1st place - 10 points.
2nd place - 9 points.
3rd place - 8 points.
4th place - 7 points.
5th place - 6 points.
6th place - 5 points.
7th place - 4 points.
8th place - 3 points.
9th place - 2 points.
10th place - 1 point.
The points each Idol gets from all of the countries will be tallied and added together by an independent vote management company to determine their overall position in the contest.
The show has already been held. The audience went wild, the judges were nice but some, including Simon Cowell (particularly the Canadian judge) were real sourpusses. They had nothing but trash to say!!!

Wow, just heard about your site. Guy is really gonna knock your socks off. He is amazing! Austrlia just completed Australian Idol on 19 November. I think South Africa, UK, US and the Pan-Arab as well as Guy will do really well. My bet is on Will Young, since they started this whole shebang!!!
