This is it!

As much as I dislike sounding like the late Michael Jackson, for the remaining two Idol contestants, this week really is it, writes Jayme Jenkins.

James 'The Indestructible'

Sat, 14 Nov 2009 12:55:02 +1000

It seems that the Toby fans jumped the fence into the James camp this week and this mass shift made him more than just safe, it placed him in the top two, writes Jayme Jenkins.

Toby's bombshell, James's saving grace

Last week Toby Moulton dropped a bombshell that he would be leaving Idol and returning to his true passion, teaching. If he stayed in the competition his rating would have just gone through the roof, what woman wouldn't swoon for a man so passionate about educating the next generation, writes Jayme Jenkins.

Stan, Stan he's our man

It turns out that if you say something enough times, it might just come true. Goodness knows I said I wanted Kate to go home enough times and last week it finally came true, writes Jayme Jenkins.

Out with Kim, in with Liza

It was an all girl line up on the elimination stage last week. No surprises to see Kim and Kate there again, but the shock was Hayley Warner one of the two competition favourites. I don't think it is a reflection on her performance, it was simply that Australia forgot to vote for her, writes Jayme Jenkins.

Hmm, was I shocked this week, only a little, let's be honest, Scott Newnham only lasted this long because of some great early performances and his good looks, writes Jayme Jenkins.

The Angel Scott Falls from Grace

Sat, 10 Oct 2009 10:46:58 +1000

Say it ain't so! The early favourite and Australian heart throb Scott Newnham had a rude wakeup call this week with his shock bottom three placing, writes Jayme Jenkins.

Good bye Sabrina, Hello 80s

Sat, 03 Oct 2009 10:11:28 +1000

The less than shocking exit of Sabrina Batshon means we can finally get back to the performances rather than personalities, writes Jayme Jenkins.

Top Ten for the top ten

Sat, 26 Sep 2009 11:05:40 +1000

No surprises this week with the elimination of Casey Barnes, but what did surprise was the other contestants up for elimination. Is this a talent contest or a popularity contest is the question that springs to mind, writes Jayme Jenkins.

Australian Idol: Rock on, or be gone

Fri, 18 Sep 2009 20:53:12 +1000

This years Australian Idol showcases its usual selection of unexpected stars - Toby Moulton a shy school teacher from Adelaide, bubbly Kim Cooper a shop assistant from Townsville, but the hands down favourite is the raw talent of showman Scott Newnham, a brick layer from Sydney, writes Jayme Jenkins.
