Reflections on a good person

I went to Matt Price’s funeral today. It was beautiful. St Josephs was decked in Christmas decorations and white lillies and the sun shone sweetly in through the stained glass windows. I sat towards the back of the church and I couldn’t see the band but they had live music playing some beautiful music. He was a man who liked his live music.

It was a who’s who of politicians and media, familiar faces both, but they took second stage to Matt. It was, as the priest said – Mattstown.

I’m finding it hard to write about. I feel I can’t do him justice. What effrontery! Attempting to match him with words. It ain’t going to happen. 🙂

I didn’t know Matt well. He didn’t know me well but I felt I owed him the respect of being there. I wanted Sue and her children to know that he was worth making time for. They do know that of course. And I wanted to support my colleagues who did know him well.

Death is the great leveller. As we filed into the crematorium I found myself walking in just in front of Kevin Rudd, who was just one of the hundreds, there to say farewell to a great Australian.

And Matt’s legacy? His writing? His books? Film of his television work? No. I think it’s love. Shining strongly from his wife and his kids, his family and friends. They are his true legacy.

Natalie wins!

(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 and I decided no.

I thought Natalie performed the winner’s single better than Matt and that in the end is what got her over the line. It was her voice that I noticed when I heard the ads over the week.

So now we’ll see if she is an Australian Idol. If her success continues past the winner’s single and “The Journey” tour. And we’ll see whose career takes off.
The FDA said patients taking this pill ought to see a sexologist, which is canadian viagra samples learningworksca.org bad for sure.

I’m curious to hear her originals (and wasn’t that gracious of Matt to mention them).

I’m also curious to hear Matt’s first album.

And I’m going to have to think of a new thing to write about on Sundays…

The final two

And the penultimate Idol post. You may be relieved to know.

Well.

On tonight’s performances. I think Matt will win.

The Wolfmother performance was pure class.

I did like Nat’s Kate Bush song but it was not as good as Matt’s Wolfmother number.

Here I Am is the name of the new single. Another BIG YAWN. I’m so sorry Matt and Nat that they put you through that. I’m even sorrier that we had to listen to it.

This viagra mg informative site medicinal device helps with the treatment of such unpleasant conditions fortunately helps you to get better results.

I thought Natalie did a better job but poor her for having to finish on such a crappy song.

So Opera House next and Matt should win.

Natalie had three wardrobe malfunctions – but without Kyle to call them so the show lost its edge – Now we know why we have judges!

I’m so bored with this series. Last year we were downloading songs and singing to them on the way to work – this year meh.

C’mon Ten, get it over with already!

Fashion flashbacks to the eighties

Natalie in a body stockingThis 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 the song but it sounded alright to me. I didn’t pick up her nervousness and thought she sang it really well.

(that said I was distracted half-way through by my daughter telling me she could see worms in her poo! Quite frankly anything would have been a relief after that!)

Carl’s first performance I missed because I’d raced out to the chemist to pick up some worm tablets for everyone. No I didn’t buy the chocolate ones. I just get too disappointed in the erky chocolate flavour. It just doesn’t taste right to me. Groover said Carl did alright though. And he sounds okay in my headphones as I type this. He needs some dance moves though and not the one he didn’t quite land.

I saw Matt singing It’s Too Late as I was changing the duvet covers and pillowcases of my kids’ beds. I don’t like the song much but Matt did well. Sounds great in the headphones.

Part 2

Natalie Chicken FeetNatalie’s second song by Pink was great I thought. Bit more serious. But knickerbockers!? Yes it’s back to the eighties for the second time. Kyle went on and on about her little bootlets – he called them chicken feet. I liked them. What do you think?

She nailed the song.

Go Natalie!

Then we come to our THIRD fashion flashback to the eighties. I refer of course to Carl’s leather tie. A red one no less in his second song.

I remember my boyfriend in the eighties had two. A pale pink tie which he used to wear with a black shirt. (sharp eh?) And a black tie which he wore with a black and pink checked shirt. (oooh baby!) I can remember grabbing hold of the black one at roller skating and snapping it. The things I did for fashion, people!

Car; Leather TieNow where were we… oh yes the leather tie…

Meh.

I thought he sang this just a tad too low. He was a bit breathy a bit all over the shop. The high note at the end was AWFUL.

But the judges didn’t pick up on it. In fact did they say anything?

Yes Marcia we know you love Carl… anything else?

And then we were ready for Fashion Flashback Number Four!

Which was… the Boy George hat. Yes yes I know Dicko tried to make it sound like a Peter Doherty look but the smokescreen didn’t work! “Matt is what Peter Doherty would look like if he’d just say no.” Or something like that. Look, he’s 17 and a good boy. Goes to church regular as Monty Python might say.

Matt's hat George's hat

He was good but I wasn’t that keen on his song choice… anyway he’s a cert for the final.

This week it’s between Carl and Natalie – and without Mark’s big push can Natalie do it? I sure hope so.

Go Natalie! (oh yeah… I said that.)

TV

Go Natalie you good thing!

Natalie in an orange dressIt’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 isn’t it worth it to hear the tenny-boppers screaming from behind us…

Then Marty whinges about this not being his night and slurs something that sounds a bit like music into the microphone.  He gets praised for trying.  He’s very trying.

Matt goes for an Electric-shocked-Elvis hairstyle and sings, well really it doesn’t matter the girls go mad.  I liked his silver jacket.

Then our girl stands up in a pretty weird dress it must be said… which doesn’t quite work… but sings out of the park a Natalie Cole song… Under an Orange Coloured Sky. Wham Bam Thank you Ma’am.  She was outstanding.

Part 2.

Carl sings Kiss Me.  Meh.  Okay he knows how to work the band.  The waistcoat hid his shoulder blades but he looked worried half the time and I just didn’t dig it.  You know what ah’m talkin’ ’bout?

Marcia breaks the records for the most number of “digs” in one sentence.  Groan.

Marty gets on to sing Light My Fire.  I wish someone would set him on fire.   Can he really be a contender?  Awkward, laboured and largely pointless says Dicko.   I tried says Marty.  No you didn’t!  You chose non-big band songs, and slouched your way through them.  It’s beneath you to even have a go?  If you had tried, I might be feeling somewhat sympathetic because it is not your natural style but. you. didn’t.  So don’t give me the I tried…  Go back to the beach and pull your finger out.  

[I go and collect my cushions from where they have fallen after bouncing off the screen, get myself a cup of tea and settle back for Matt and Nat.]

Matt in braces Joe McDonald - Thanks to the Melbourne Herald Sun

Matt sings Beyond the Sea.  Not sure the Joe McDonald braces work.  Not with jeans that tight.  OMG he skats!  Don’t scat Matt.  Let me tell you something about braces… fat people wear them.  Fat old men.  Think union officials.  Think Santa.  Still we love Matt and he does an okay job.  

Natalie in redHow high the moon?  As high as Natalie is after her brilliant second performance in a better frock.  I didn’t even mind the scatting when she did it.  And that’s saying something because as you know, I don’t like the scat.  She scores a touchdown and a desperate plea from Mark Holden to the voting audience to keep her in the competition.

He knows what we know.  She is vulnerable.  She stood on a piano and still got in the bottom two last week.  My fear is that despite her doing brilliantly  – beating Carl at his own game – she will be out this week.

If life were fair it would be Marty.

TV

Thank you Marcia

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 at their television sets as they settled back to watch Carl reminisce about his winning form that took him to the top two this week.

Shit.  Natalie thought as she stood next to Tarasai.  WTF do I need to do to impress these people.   Surely standing on the piano in four inch heels was enough?!

No Natalie, despite your touchdown performance we were only impressed with you until Dicko pointed out that Chrissie Amphlett would have leapt onto the baby grand without the aid of steps – and she wouldn’t have accepted help getting down either just by the by.  (I thought you was robbed!)

Matt – we thought you were going to cry – we weren’t about to say goodbye to your lovely green eyes…

And Marty.  As the others implode around you – you have become the Steven Bradbury of Australian Idol.  Enough said.

The great, the bland and the angry

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 by Thirsty Merc (can’t remember… I’m not as diligent as Meg is in taking notes… you’re so good Meg).  He sat at the piano and sang it to the keys.  Didn’t see his gorgeous eyes once.  But nicely sung.  He said afterwards that he had problems playing… I didn’t notice it.

Natalie – scored a touchdown for her song All the Boys in Town by The Divynals.  She started at the piano and then rocked out totally.  Loved it as much as the judges.

Marty – sang These Days by Powderfinger.  Apparently it meant something to him and his mum.  Good on him.  I found it dull.  He might sound good in the studio but I look at him onstage and say – pull your bloody pants up.  In fact “pants” just about sums up what I think of him.

Tarasai – sang something angry by The Veronicas.  Song was okay.  She threw her mike stand on the ground.   Ooooh you angry little muppet!  She’s gone back to those horrible jeans after the dress didn’t work out for her last week and got the GHD irons onto her hair – which looked pretty good I thought.  The judges (mostly) thought she was a fake and she spent a few minutes trying to convince us that she’s not and undid it all by saying “Thank you Marcia” in that pathetic little girl butter wouldn’t melt in your mouth way she has after Marcia said she had nothing to say.  I suppose “nothing” was a relief after what Dicko and Mark said.

One more reason for its popularity is its capability to viagra 25 mg http://www.learningworksca.org/item-2464 fight multiple male sexual problems.
Carl sang Reminiscing by The Little River Band which I thought was okay.  He’s growing on me now that I no longer have to throw cushions at the tv to stop him scatting (not that it works).

Last week I confidently predicted Daniel would leave the competition and I was (thankfully) right.  This week I’m thinking Natalie, Carl and Matt are safe.  The bottom two will be Tarasai and Marty… and I think the time has run out for… actually this is tough.  

Okay okay… I’m going for Marty to leave as I think the audience might be keen to see Round 2 of the Judges v Tarasai.

Just sayin’…
