VOTE NOW: How To Vote

Elvis has left the building...

But I haven't started my recap yet...

I'll recap later tonight but let us know what you thought of this horrid horrid night of phenomenally bad performances and tear worthy notes...

VOTING NOW CLOSED!!

The Apology and Explanation:
Thanks to those of you who have been whinging that there was no update last night, I guess that I could give a huge explanation, or possibly lie about how my social life is way too interesting and that I couldn’t be here last night but that would be too much work.

The truth of the matter is that I had to work last night and when I did arrive home and watch the gig I wasn’t inspired to post anything, let’s face it there were no WOAH performances and the touchdown given to Dan was a pathetic example of how Mark Holden is trying to keep the audience interested in their show that is failing to please this year.

There'll be no live cap tonight due to me needing to do "real" work, so please leave your thoughts and opinions here, I'll post my thoughts when I get home.

• Dan England has chosen to sing Desperado
• Daniel Spillane has chosen to sing Cold As Ice
• Emily Williams has chosen to sing I'm Every woman
• Kate DeAraugo has chosen to sing Lady Marmalade

Idols cut loose

Which might explain why punk-rocker Lee Harding and Shannon Noll-lookalike Daniel Spillane used the ARIA awards to let off a bit of pent-up steam.

But we're not sure what Harding's de-facto partner of 4½ years, Nicole, would think of his pashing Big Brother bogan Christy during the cranking after-party at the Novotel.

While Harding - who didn't arrive back to the Idol house until midday on Monday - is denying his night of passion, Christy confirmed the story on radio.

Sorry about the outage today, the data centre we're on was attacked overnight and it took a while for everything to get back to normal...

But we're back now, which is more that can be said about Anne...

VOTING LINES NOW CLOSED...
Anne Robertson is now going home...

To tell you the truth, I’m a tad indifferent with tonight’s verdict only a few minutes away, I want Lee to go, it seems quite obvious that it’s his turn, but still his fanbase of stupid teenagers with no sense and even less logic than they have musical taste…

So, whatever happens tonight I’m not entirely fussed, but still, let’s see what happens anyway…

HAHAHAHAHAHA:
Tonight’s show started with The Hoff jumping on stage and welcoming everyone, after some running around and clapping of hands he introduced himself as both Andy and James and called for last night’s recap…

Tonight from 6.30pm we'll be able to see the contestants battle it out Motown style before a live audience prior to Channel 10 flicking over to the ARIA award ceremony/concert. I must admit that I’m a little Idoled out at the moment, noone’s really standing out as a great musician, Emily’s vocals have seen her become one of the best vocalists, but noone’s really grabbed hold of the metaphorical ball and ran with it yet.

This time two years ago Shannon was ripping his jeans prior to the show and Guy was dressing up in fur coats and funky glasses to entertain the audience, where’s the showmanship in this year’s group?

The up close and personal show is always billed as “your idols singing the songs of their idols

Australian Idol starts at 630pm tonight, so get your video recorders set to watch a whole pile of wannabes just before the ARIA awards celebrate that the music scene is much more than Idol has to offer...

Apologies for no updates as late, but I'f like to remind people that this is set up as a wiki and if you want to join in on the updates then please let me know!

• Anne Robertson - If I Were Your Woman
• Dan England - Reach Out (I'll Be There)
