Subject: Review of the show

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

The different broadcasters for each country edited the show as they wanted it so that is why in South Africa the South African judge's comments were shown on South African TV.

I thought Diana (the Arabic girl) was amazing, she has such a beautiful voice, even better than Kelly, so I'm voting for her. I do like Kelly but I wanna give some who's not world famous a break. But that's just my opinion, what do you think about Diana?

I have to agree with Zac on Kelly. She did not impress me, and yes I also think Anke can show her a thing or 2.

I was impressed by Diana and Kurt's voices. Very good.

Never liked Will, he simply does mot light my fire! What was he on?

Heinz was brilliant, ticked all the boxes, mine 2!

The rest was between ok and boring.
