The real Australian Idol

Not a big fan of the show or the concept but wanted to comment on one Bobby Flynn who was voted of this evening much to the shock horror of all 3 judges and the 2 hosts.

I should say i am shocked but know that most votes are cast by the teenage girls and lets just say that Dean Geyer and Ricky Muskat should be very thankful; they must find out that musics not about good hair, acrobatics and a cute face.

Bobby is more than just a distinctive voice, I suggest to do a search and have a listen if you can (im not sure how to post a sample). I found his originality helped him to stand out but his passion and energy captivates you and draws you in. Its not often you feel someones voice travel up your spine and and your able to feel the song someone sings but for me Bobby has done this.

The songs he has chosen i have heard probably 100 times before but never with as much spirit however it was not just the music. When most people are faced with their elimination from this show they shed a tear and seem devistated... Not Bobby, he smiled and said "im sure this aint the last you have heard from Bobby Flynn" and then gave an awesome performance of of Fleetwood Macs "Rhiannon" with the Bobby twist.

I will definately be looking for his first album.

I went searching on the net tonight for a photo to add to this post and found out that Bobby almost made the finals for "Rockstar Super Nova"... Not sure how he and Tommy Lee would have mixed but hey... read the article!!!

Australian Idol

I am happy Bobby can do it on his own and "does not fit the template" that is Idol
