I hope you mean her hair? If so, probably, yes!
Yeah, I did mean her hair (if that's what it actually is... it kind of looks more like a hairpiece)
Caught up on last nights idol UP UNTIL the callback bit. Now I gotta watch survivor so will watch the last part after haha.
I’m not sure I like this format tweak. It’s basically just moving one of the boot camp rounds into the audition round. But it loses the impact of getting 3 yes votes from the judges. If it means we get more live shows as a result then perhaps it’s worth it.
My thoughts pre - callback (or whatever they are calling it)
Dylan singing Better Be Home Soon for his mum. He is a potential star. A great story teller with some very nice tone in his voice. Great performance. I would vote for him.
️️️
Ivana - If I Ain’t Got You - big voice, perhaps a littler overcooked. But certainly has potential with some technique and control.️
Jamie - Somebody Like You - something a bit raw with his voice. Almost sounds like his voice would work better with r&b or pop. Oops I wrote most of this before the votes. I assumed he was going to make it through. I agree with the judges. Come back next year.
Ripley - Mamma Mia - there is something special about this kid. Young, but has got a couple of years experience gigging and it shows. He knows what to do with his voice and where to add runs to make it interesting without overdoing it. I hope he goes very far in this comp.️️️️
Arena - no doubt there is some talent there but I’m just not sure it’s the right fit for Idol.️
Luke - Jonny B Good - I feel like he doesn’t need the whole one man band thing. His voice is good enough.️️️
Both of Marcia’s wildcard boys. Neither really stood out to me, the auditions actually felt a little awkward. Not sure whether that on the contestants or the situation.

So I’m just now watching the last bit. I thought they all sang again. I don’t like this at all. It’s stupid at this point, it takes away from the excitement of getting 3 yesses, and this is just pointless.Caught up on last nights idol UP UNTIL the callback bit.

Ripley is probs gonna win the whole thing.
I am a bit surprised they didn’t let Luke through.
Right choice taking Ivana over Arena.
Amy - Natural Woman - beautiful tone and control. She’s got the kind of voice I think does well on shows like these, but not sure how marketable she is? But very much deserves a spot ️️️
Tyler - Lonely Boy - nice rendition of the song, he’s a story teller. I feel like the song didn’t stretch him too much though. Will be interesting to see other sides of his voice and capabilities.️️️
Natasha (Red girl) - Hands to myself. I actually kind of agree with Kyle that you need to show that you can sing current pop to really make the most of being on Idol. Not sure that I loved this performance, but at least it was current.️
Trent - Bless the Broken Road- sounds a bit green (lol I wrote that before Amy said it), but there’s something in there. With a bit of work he could be something.️️
Conor Smith - classic - Interesting voice and choices made with performance. Not the strongest vocalists but he is very marketable.️️️
Cynthia - something’s got a hold one me - there is something about the tone of the voice that didn’t exactly grab me. But she is talented and has some big pipes.️️
Saskia - House of the Rising Sun - singing in italics is not my thing. But she has talent.️
—- golden ticket section.
Amy was well deserved. Natasha was lucky.
Saskia and Cynthia. Neither voices really appeal to me, but I also would have gone Cynthia over Saskia even though she is a bit nasally for my liking.
Only 30 proceeding through the auditions means they can’t really take a chance. So I get why they couldn’t take Conor but I really thinkhe deserved a shot, I think he showed real potential and raw talent. Given the numbers, Tyler made sense. Trent less so, but I guess they need a country voice.

Saskia's manner of singing might not have been my cup of tea, but I must say that was a pretty harsh gig for her. They pretty much plucked her out of Western Australia and flew her to Sydney to tell her she's not in, and then I assume they put her on the next plane back to WA.
