Idol rumminations

By Kim Berry

So the I Blow Big Time Australian Idol website now has the final 24 up. OK, it might have been there all along.
Anyway…
I got nine of the top 12 blokes.
Not that I’m skiting, this is hardly rocket science.
I would have had ten but I forgot to include Matt (who I knew would be a goer) on my list.
The chicks I had less but that’s simply because I forget to listen. I am sitting at about 90 per cent that a guy will take out Idol this year.
My faves are Cheray, Brianna, Jesse and Holly.
Both Brianna and Cheray will probably get record deals out of this, regardless of where and when they fall and that is a good thing.

    Cheray and Husny?

    I know it’s wrong to ask, but how do those words even get to be names, hmmmm?

    (ok, and now I’m being punished for being old-fashioned by a really, really frighteningly challenging word verification: serve me right…)

    You missed Tarisai.

    I was thinking the same thing!!! Crazy names. I have only watched a couple of Idol eps this year, but I thought that the standard was pretty high.

    Cheray’s name. Mum is Cheryl, Dad is the man who wrote I Am Woman with Helen Reddy.

    CheRay.

    I like the swimming teacher dude.

    composite parent names should be banned. As in the Jonelle we had at college – pronounced John Elle. appalling. they are a whole new person, not just 50% of each parent. K

    The swimming dude annoys me. And I was disappointed they chose him over the other guy. Look at that, can’t remember his name already.

    And while I totally get the comments re weird names, THERE SHALL BE NO MOCKING THE IDOL.

    K – I knew someone who was called Keiran and his wife was called Karen, so they called their daughter Keiren.

    No, not kidding.

    We might have called our kid Grover, but I view that as just plain lazy.

  • Poppy & Mei

    The names? I say “What’s with the hair?”
