Natalie wins!

by Cellobella on Monday, November 26, 2007

(Despite some pretty serious wardobe malfunctions… and by that I of course refer mostly to the dress she arrived in. That was a toilet roll cover if ever I saw one.) You see I was going to start this post with some remarks about Natalie’s choice in clothes tonight but then I saw Shallow Hal [...]

Fashion flashbacks to the eighties

by Cellobella on Sunday, November 11, 2007

This Sunday on Idol, was it just me or did you think the stylists took inspiration from the nineteen eighties fashion wise. First Natalie singing Ray of Light wearing what appeared to be a body stocking?! Either that or a very high g-string. I was surprised Kyle managed not to comment! I’m not fussed on [...]

Go Natalie you good thing!

by Cellobella on Sunday, November 4, 2007

It’s big band night on Australian Idol.  It’s supposed to be Carl’s night but it’s Natalie who shines. Carl sings Me and Mrs Jones wearing an untied bow tie and a shirt so thin you can see his shoulderblades.  “Cheap shirt” says Groover from the not-so-cheap seats, not now that we’ve got surround sound.  And [...]

Thank you Marcia

by Cellobella on Tuesday, October 30, 2007

Those fateful words are probably what sealed the deal as far as the voting public were concerned.  Miss “I’m not fake!” Tarasai who stomped her pretty little feet and pouted her lips to an unimpressed judging panel then thanked Judge Marcia Hines for saying nothing. You are pathetic! Cried the watching audience throwing soft furniture [...]

The great, the bland and the angry

by Cellobella on Sunday, October 28, 2007

I can’t compete with Bland Canyon so I’m not reading her wrap of tonight’s Idol until I get my thoughts down. Matt – The first thing that struck me was that he’d obviously had some fashion advice since last week and had ditched the floral prints and lederhosen.  Good move Matt!  The song was something [...]

Daniel has to be gone now… doesn’t he?

by Cellobella on Sunday, October 21, 2007

I coped through Fragile – coz it’s one of my favourite songs – but oh dear.  To The Sea made me want to go there.  Anywhere.  Away from the telly.   It’s time to go… Daniel. Or Marty.  I didn’t mind the second song but he’s just so boring to watch. Carl I liked this week.  [...]

Shock on Sunday Night’s Idol

by Cellobella on Sunday, October 14, 2007 · 2 comments

As regular readers of SultanaBlog would know, I’m not the biggest fan of Marty or Carl. Prepare yourselves for a shock. Ready? I actually enjoyed both their performances. Marty – if you closed your eyes and didn’t watch him mooch about the stage – sounded pretty good, Carl didn’t sing swing. It was a scat [...]

Australian Idol review – Top 8

by Cellobella on Tuesday, October 9, 2007

The fabulous Meg over at Blogpond has summarised this week’s Idol so well that I only need to add my postscript… It’s been a couple of weeks since I last posted about Idol. My Melbourne trip came in the middle. I wasn’t unhappy about Mark leaving but was gobsmacked that Marty survived… and this week [...]

Idol judges under review

by Cellobella on Sunday, September 23, 2007

So a quick wrap of tonight’s Disco show: Tarasai – great performance… didn’t like the jeans… her performance was a bit straight… could have done with a bit more sizzle as Mark puts it. Don’t like it as much listening back as I thought I would. Ben – pretty good. Nice voice. Holding the notes [...]

Which Idol Judge do you most agree with?

by Cellobella on Wednesday, September 12, 2007

Yes this is my new poll and the reason I’m asking the question is that I’ve been gobsmacked at how I’ll say to Groover – “Gee I don’t like that outfit” or “They’re not moving around enough” etc – and this particular judge will say exactly what I’ve just said. It’s not what I’ve said [...]
