Australian Idol Semi Finals & Wildcards

First, I must say that I'm VERY disappointed that Lyall Adonis didn't get into wildcards. I can name 3 people (but I shan't name them here) who I think robbed Lyall of his place!

Anyways... 3 out of 4 wildcards who I predicted would get through to the Top 12 did get through!

Here are their performances:

1. My favourite female contestant: Natalie Gauci. I've liked her since I saw her audition. Hopefully the Australian public warms up to her soon.



2. Daniel Mifsud. I though he was a shoo-in to the Top 12. He has been a judges favourite from the very start. Plus, he got quite a lot of air time during the audition and theatre rounds.



3. Mark de Costa. He's the only rocker in the competition. One of the judges said that he's the best performer in the whole competition. Not exactly my style of music, but I knew he'd get in. Btw, he's the oldest in the Top 12! He said that he'll be the "father" and Jacob (the next oldest) will be the "mother" in the house which the finalists stay at! Haha. He raises the average age of the Top 12 to errr... 12? Haha! Of course I'm exaggerating! But there is one 16-year-old and two 17 year-olds in the Top 12!



I still think that 2 of the Top 12 robbed Lyall of his spot! But oh wells....


Here are some other Semi Finals videos

1. Matt Corby - I Wish. He sings another Stevie Wonder song, but I'm not complaining. How I wish (pun not intended) he'll also sing "Lately"!




2. Matt Corby's Introduction Clip
I really like what he said,

"I wasn't thinking about getting through, I was just thinking about touching people."





3. Jacob Butler. He's one of the 2 guys from the 1st Semi Final who got into Top 12. While watching this introductory clip, I had a gut feeling that he'll sing Chasing Cars - he did.



4. Lyall Adonis - Desperado

Those are the 4 people whom I'm rooting for in the Top 12! PLUS, their names rhyme! COOL, eh?
