Thank god Noora is gone.
I guess her enormous fanbase is not enormous enough.

So they pushed this out before the voting closed and the bottom four locked in?

No, the stories went up immediately after the show finished.

The tagline and timing suggests differently.

Ohhh sorry yes it was. I thought you were talking about the viewers choice stories where viewers pick songs.

Yep, winner gets a recording contract with Sony Music and $100K !

The real prize is the $100k with an option for Sony to actually do something with you if they feel you’re worth doing something with.

I'm guessing nowadays a "recording contract" amounts to a studio session recording a handful of songs and the company sticking it on Spotify/iTunes.

Seven should just be honest and say the prize is a failed pop career and an audition for Home and Away.

The contract is only there to make them seem legit. I’d say most are better off as independent artists and in our current landscape there’s never been a better time to be one.

I happen to know that being on Home and Away gets referred to as "jury duty" by Australian actors. Everyone has to do it eventually 😅

Home and Away

You mean Sand Sluts

 

[Sephrenia]

Sorry, very late post as I've had severe internet issues for weeks and really could do very little online.

BUT I love One Nation and in particular Ryan Tedder

OK...I'm going to bed!

[Sephrenia]

I ALWAYS do that! Nation/Republic seem to just meld into one for me 🤣

There's always a judge who has to complain about a song not being "reworked"... are they saying it just because they can't think of anything else to say? Cause maybe it's those particular judges who need to come up with something new.

Fuck me dead.
How about just shortening the show to an hour instead of this absolute TRAIN WRECK they’re currently producing to fill time.
HCJ doing a shoey? No thanks.
This is fucked.

 

[Coppelia]

Far out, this shoe thing. HCJ is a good sport and all, but seriously... why is Australia like this?

 

[bleachy_dude]

Nah that actually made me give HCJ a few points back.

C’mon. Tim tam shoey slam is kinda funny!
