Fair dinkum.
Im gonna go out on a ledge here by saying that of all the contestants thus far,
Courtney the transvestite had most "star quality"
Everyone else is like a whipped dog too frightened to say boo.
LMAOOOO"Thanx for the criticism dicko" - LMAOOOOO.
This is the deal.
Anyone who receives x amount of media xposure via Australian idol directly or indirectly is basically owned by BMG wether they become a finalist or not.
The singers are sent overseas to work with writers and producers that write formulated "hit" songs and more often than not
are yet to experience chart success.
The songs are credited as co-writes but the artist will find that he or she will only receive 10-20% of the writing royalties
which isn't a bad deal considering all they really do is think of words to rhyme with whatever the chief writer has alredy
penned.
eg this is the first line of the song,
Baby it's been a long time
Since u went to heaven
I Been married six times
Now im going for number ______
What will happen here is the producer/writer will say,"hmmmmmm,I dunno what to say here"
and after some serious thought the act,in a shaky,mouse like murmer will pose the question. "...........seven ? ? ?"
Bang -writing credit.
Over the last 20 years the influence of stevie wonder on vocalising and Quincy Jones on pop arrangements has been far-reaching and everlasting.
Now everyone is trying to be Black.
ADVICE -MOVE ON!
At the end of the day Rock n Roll is king.
Its the attitude that one speaks of when refering to the rock n roll thing,the type of attitude that none of the soft cox on idol posess.They need to get a drug problem for afew years,battle with addictions,catch STDs and urinate down aisles of aeroplanes before they
can get serious about their careers.
Until such a time as these pre-requisites are met you will be subjected to more of the camp musical arrangements,more of the Cabaret strutting and even more of the egotistical dominance by dicko and holden.
Enjoy the program.
