Who do you think will win? Countries cannot vote for their own contestants which should make things interesting.

My dibs are on Kelly Clarkson and Guy Sebastian, as are Centrebets.

Where\'s the Danish Idol? Not that I remember who won...
-
What a terrible photo that is.
I liked American Idol, and I\'d rather see World Idol if it had Clay Aiken in it. Kid can sing.
-Eik
-
Will Young from the United Kingdom.
Now is that the :ghey: one or the one with the stutter ?

Definitely :ghey:
-
that polish chick looks about 10 years old.
-
Clay Aiken isn\'t in it? I guess they just wanted one person from each country.
Woah, nevermind. Clay didn\'t win. I forgot about that.
I heard his new song the other day. Pretty gay. Dude can sing, but they need to get him a real producer. THose songs he is singing are so cookie cutter karaoke.
-
Yea his album pretty well sucks, but he kicked out a few winners during the show.
-Eik
-
That dude from Belgium looks like someone from a death-metal group.
I vote for him.
-
I think i speak for everyone when I say Al Sharpton should be America\'s idol
-
Was I the only one who had nothing better to do and actually watched this monstrosity? :o
Simon said something like Kelly was the race-horse and the rest are donkeys, and it really couldn\'t of been more true. She really has an amazing voice and charisma and I wouldn\'t mind bending it over and RAAR RAAR AAH...yeah fat trunks are nice.
One of the bitches didn\'t even sing in english, laughed throughout that one. The British UK who sung Light My Fire was just the biggest fairy I have ever seen and really wasn\'t impressive at all. Just utterly annoying to watch. The 10 year old girl had NASTY teeth. I enjoyed that guy from Belgium, did a good job of doing Lithium and was shocked when Simon made a good point of him conforming and being a sheep for singing it when rock isn\'t about that. Go Nirvana. The Canadian guy sucked. The Norway guy was too ugly, couldn\'t watch him with those two front teeth being a mile apart. Everyone besides Clarkston was really just a bore to watch, only enjoyed hearing the judges comments.
Again, bend over Kelly.
Also, the fact that everyone sang someone else\'s song was pretty discouraging. Way to get famous off of having a good voice you bastards.
-
i watched it, personally liked the Norway dood and Guy (aussie) Hell even the judges preferred them over everyone else...
-
I thought the Norway guy as ugly as he is had an awesome voice. What\'s funny though is that he did that song just like Bono and SImon didn\'t call him a comformist.
I thought they all sucked except for him and Kelly. The dude from England was downright pitiful!!!!
-
Based only on looks I want that guy from Belgium. And that prolly wouldn\'t change after listening to people either. He looks bad ass. Someone get a pit going when he starts singing!
-
If this was "Bug\'s Bunny Idol" my vote would go to Norway. :D
-
i was forced to watch this cause i had made my girlfriend sit through a few hours of the history channel
from what i could gather its pretty much just fogieners bastardizing american songs
the british fruit who did the doors song should be shot and i thought it was funny when the heavy metal dude was talking about all his "hommies" knowing where he comes from and how he\'s keeping it real
-
I think only Kelly and Guy have a real chance of winning. Knowing who votes for these kinda things, there is no way the ugly guy will get it.
Will Young was crap. He is so gay (literally) and just SUCKED. The Polish chick was a mix of Anastacia and Bjork, and THAT judge, what a quack!
-
Who is Guy? If you say the Aussie I am going to cry. He blew nuggets.
-
not as much as kelly did ;)
-
I really liked the Norway guy, he looked like a hobbit! Had a great voice too! I hope he wins, he\'s got my vote (not that i\'ve actually voted)
-
I voted 5 times for the little hobbit.
-
I\'m not gonna vote. I never got into the whole American/World Idol craze. I saw it once and turned it off.
-
Titan = Teh Cool
-
Ain\'t I? :)
You were being sarcastic, weren\'t you?
-
What was wrong with Guy? He should have sang a better song, but vocally he is one of the best.
Him and Kelly actually have talent, unlike, "She\'s a maniac, maniac, on the dance floor, Oooooha".
-
He is the dude with the F\'d up hair right?
What is up with that?
I could only bare to listen to Kelly and the last Norway dude.
-
vid, thats a bit harsh.
Kelly, Guy, the Norway dude and the chick who sang in Arabic were the only ones in my book who sounded like they had real talent.
The Canadian guy (as well as the judge) was really stuck up and thought he was great (I think it was just Canada trying to get noticed for something) and that guy with the glasses was really crap too. The Sth African guy was a pretty boy and Will Young was just crap. He would have been better if he did a better song but I just didn\'t buy into that whole \'Light my fire, light my fire\' crap, plus he is gay, so he should have just sang a song about a guy instead of trying to be something he isn\'t.
Vote #1 for GUY!
Download some songs of his from Kazaa (ok, Im not encouraging piracy) and I think you\'ll be impressed with his vocal abilities. His album is called \'Just As I Am\' and its already gone 6x Platnium in Australia within like 3 weeks (amost 500 000 units). I suggest anyone with a fast cable connection who cares to download "Climb Every Mountain" which was live from the show (available readily on Kazaa) It is just simply amazing".
I think he is great, as is Kelly, though I have heard her sing better.
-
what fif I say that was harsh? You said worse about the guy with the glasses. Although I agree with you.
-
You said he had f\'d up hair; its not that bad.
-
the hobbit owned, and kelly is over-rated. I\'d hit it, but as for vocal talent she is subpar when it comes to being a profesional (She\'s a hair above other teenie bopper artists).

I say this dude has F\'d up hair....

and I am harsh??? I mean, he\'s no freestylah, but damn. That\'s F\'d up...
-
he does...
-
New Zealand Idol is yet to get underway I\'m sure we have a shiploads of good talent here to take it on.
-
This looks really :ghey:. Should be fun. Anyway, Studdard i think can blow much better than Clay, not that he cant sing or anything. I gave up on these shows after a while. I only watch to see the people act like fools and then dissed so bad that they start crying like 5 y/o girls.
Greatests memory of last AI was the fat kid that did "like a virgin."
Talk about flaming.
-
The Hobbit won, good on him, he indeed had a good voice and he choose probably the best song of the night. :) But when it comes to talent, guys still my fav. He was the only one to sing the song in hes own way, not another mimic... :)
-
Go Norway!
-
Kelly should of won, but go ugly people I guess. The metal Nirvana guy came 3rd, that was nice, since he was pretty damn entertaining.
-
I wanted to smack the dude from England. Every time his name was called they went to him and he had to have a face every single time. Did the dude actually think he was good?
And what a boring show....
I liked the dude who won, but didn\'t he just do a real good karaoke version of U2?
He did it exactly like Bono. Big Whoop.
-
Oh man, I missed the show. Didn\'t know it aired last night.
-
It blew. THey just went through each country and each country\'s host read the winners. IT was extremely dull.

yeah but you missed what happend AFTER the TV show finished.
here is a story form the SUN
HOBBIT lookalike Kurt Nilsen last night beat Will Young to the World Idol title — then branded the British hero “an a**hole.”
Norwegian Kurt, 25 — from the land famed for getting “nil points” at Eurovision — left Will trailing down in fifth place on the ITV show.
When hosts Ant and Dec announced his victory with a score of 106, the ex-plumber blubbed: “This is totally amazing” and said to his rivals: “I love you guys.”
But he later told a newspaper from his hometown of Bergen: “Will Young is an a**hole.
“He didn’t want to shake my hand and say hello.”
Kurt had been branded a hobbit by Aussie judge Ian Dickson because of his startling resemblance to Lord of the Rings’ Sam Gamgee.
Fellowship ... Will and Kurt on Idol sofa before outburst
Simon Cowell, acting as the US judge, told him: “If this competition had been on radio you’d walk it. The problem is you are ugly.”
But Kurt still polled top points from nine of the 11 countries taking part — including BRITAIN — with his version of U2’s Beautiful Day.
One-time favourite, America’s Kelly Clarkson, 20, was runner-up with 97 points for Natural Woman.
Will, 24, managed only 72 points for his version of Light My Fire.
Dad-of-two Kurt is now set to release his single She’s So High in the UK.
It managed huge sales in Norway, staying at No1 for nine weeks.
Meow !
what got in to her...did they run out of Woo Woo\'s And Sea Breezesat the after shoe party ?
-
what about her? what about will, he wasn\'t exactly sporting himself.. Friggin stuck ups. They all pretty much copied the original, although wills light my fire was so much more upbeat :rolleyes:
-
I found it totally hilarious that most of the countries votes were very similar, ie Kelly, Will etc at the top of the votes all the time, then when it came to the Pan Arab vote, it went;
11 Kelly USA
10 Will UK
09 Guy AUS
That was funny.
-
I liked the one country who had the pan am chick way up there. FOrget which one, but there was one country who was a totally different order than the others.
