Title: Australian Idol
Post by: ##RaCeR## on November 17, 2003, 11:41:05 PM
The Australian Idol final is on tomorrow night (Wednesday, 19th November) at the Sydney Opera House. Its going to be a great night. Its come down to two guys, Shannon and Guy. I am hoping Guy will win because he has alot more talent then Shannon and is a much better singer. A lot of people want Shannon to win though because they think he is a true \'Australian\'. The final three included Cosima DeVeto, who I thought was the standout performer of them all (Just think voice of Celine with the booty of Beyonce). She decided to pull out of the comp. because she had become pretty sick and her voice just wasn\'t doing her any favours. She isn\'t overly pretty, but she knows how to shake her ass.

Anyway, thought some of you\'s might be interested.

Here are some links to some performances.

Riiight. Ok, perhaps Australia, but otherwise... no.

Unfortunatly crappy TV is crappy TV all over the world. We have Big Brother, Popstars and Idols like everyone else, but it only runs on those crap channels that most everyone doesn\'t bother watching anyway.

GUY WON!

I am very happy.

Spudz, yes, Australia is a US ass kisser and I don\'t think it really apologises for it either.

Yanks are just as obsessed with Aussies and vice versa.

The UK had pop idol before the US. Simon Cowell and Simon Fuller sold the idea around the world for big bucks.

Just out of curiosity was Simon in the Aussie version of American Idol?

And yea Spudz get your facts straight, lol.  Just about every popular reality show first began in the Uk.  Statements like that is why many think we Americans are arrogant.
Title: Australian Idol
Post by: ##RaCeR## on November 21, 2003, 03:45:15 AM
No, Simon wasn\'t, but we had our own version of Simon... DICKO.

The judges were Ian \'Dickhead\' Dickson (Head of BMG records AUS, lable IDOL is being signed too)
Marcia Hines (Aussie diva)
Mark Holden (70\'s popstar who everyone has forgotten)

Just about every country wishes to be like America.

Its as simple as that. They want our government, our riches, our power, our army, our lifes. Look at Japan, they worship us.

Why would I need to?

America is the most powerful country in the world, and every country wants to be in that throne, correct? We are so powerful, that we can ignore our own problems, walk into someone elses life and disturb it.

We (Hate using that term, yet it is the only one) abuse power. We have all these nuclear weapons, and tell other people they cant make them. Yes, but its perfectly fine for US (No pun) to have them.

In case you think Im serious; I think you should get your head checked. America is a powertrain with broken rails.

Spudz, just because America has "power" doesn\'t mean every country in the world wants it. In fact most countries avoid conflicts, even against countries that have lower "power".  
Why is America branded as arrogant.. Look in the mirror dood.

What makes you think you\'re the only country with nukes. I\'m sure lots of countries have them. It\'s the ones that could USE them thats the problem.

Remember, you\'re overall score on an IQ test will generally be higher than what you really should be.

It was a hard test. Last year I got 130 and have done countless others on the net and have always got around 120-130.

Internet IQ tests are a joke, too.  Most of the time they\'ll give you a much higher score than you deserve, so as to sell you some kind of complete personality kit, or something to that effect.

I just did the test then, BTW.  125. :)  Wasn\'t all that hard of a test.  A couple of the questions I got incorrect were ones that I wrote down the correct answer for and then changed it. :mad:  And it\'s not a very comprehensive test.  Only 66 questions, none of which are all that in depth.

Oh wells, enough bitching. :)

Nope.  From what I heard, most people scored much higher on last years test than this one.

Did you apply for Mensa after your score on last years\'? ;)

Do you realize how many different ways America has copied other countries?

Even if you aren\'t serious..Well, you\'re still an idiot.
