Although I think paulini should of been top 3 i dont think her voice matches the versaility or flawlessness of cosima's and guy. Out of those ud have to pick cosima's because of her ability week in week out to create the perferct performance, stunning voice, and knows how to work a crowd.

MARRY ME COSIMA

In terms of consistency - paulini is Mrs Consistency she never had a shit performance .. the only one i wasn't impressed with was when she sang "fields of gold" by sting at the charity concert night since it was a pretty dull song in terms of range .. but obviously the song is one of her favourites or has sentimental meaning to her, hence why she sung it.

Imo, Cosima wasn't convincing at all on the big band show, and the week before that when she tried singing "R E S P E C T" it was shocking .. her voice wasnt suited to that song, it just didnt seem powerful enough in that situation (i think only black women could sing that song ) . I think she's great, but i reckon Paulini had the better voice, even dicko said its just assumed each week paulini is gonna put on a flawless vocal performance.

euphoria has the idea
its all about ratings and cash
one hit wonders never last (although i will be proved wrong)
off the top of my head i cant think of any band/person (besides the spice girls) that had any lasting ability

/edit i watched one and i remember only stickin around to hear paulini...that girl can sing

i like you

Nah i dont agree, i think marcia has a problem with white people, hence her preference for paulini and guy. I think cosima rocked respect, and last week did a performance to show her wide range of abilities. As for Paulini, i found her to have a big head, just cause u got judges support doesnt mean u got crowd support, and u werent all dat. Take it as a lesson, the judges dont mean shit, its what the public think.

Looks like Guy won (also looks like I went through the entire series without seeing a single show). Love the song he's gonna release though - almost makes Gareth Gates look hardcore. :-/

Reckon he'll have the longevity of Bardot and that other group?

Yeah, "other group" were wicked.

Ahh the memories.

So anyway.... anyone still give a shit about idol?
I sure don't. Man the audiences at their performances made me fucking sick. It's disgusting that there are that many people with such empty lives.
