Here's where I admit to being a fan of Australian Idol, despite myself... Did anyone here catch the Australian Idol Beatles special? There were some absolute atrocities committed - Anthony, Casey and Ricki-Lee were all terrible. I usually think Casey's alright, but she stuffed up big time with Eleanor Rigby. Anthony and Ricki-Lee showed the originals absolutely no respect and I hated them for it. Everything Dicko said about them was right. The one who stole the show for me was Chanel's gorgeous "Across The Universe" - made it her own while respecting the original. It was just brilliant and won my vote. That song is one of my favourites, and seeing it performed so uniquely and respectfully almost brought a tear to my eye (yeah, I've been getting emotional about Lennon lately, what with his birthday yesterday and all)... Anyone wanna comment? Anyway, what really matters is that there are so many fab fans in Australia, it'd be a real pity for Paul not to bring his show here next year. Bring it on, Pauly! Do the Oz!!!

I didnt want to watch it, but I end up doing it. I didnt see that girl sing 'Acoross the Universe". I thought Courtnee did alright but everyone just made me mad. Mark was cute in his SGT Pepper outfit though.
-
Yeah, there were three acts in particular that made me mad, but I was pleasantly surprised to see some of the contestants actually respect the source material. Across The Universe was the highlight of the show - it was too good for Australian Idol. Come on Paul!
-
I think while I hated her "we can work it out", Rikki Lee was robbed! It wasn't nearly as disgusting as the butchering of "Eleanor Rigby", that verson should be against the law! ps paul in oz

I actually liked, I think it is Marty, with "OH Darling". A very difficult song to sing well and I think he did a good job. Courtney was pretty good except he sang and extra bit that nearly stuffed it up. The people who were Beatles fans before, showed a respect for the songs that the others didn't. I must admit I cringed a few times. C,mon Paul. Come and show these guys how it should be done!!!! PAUL IN OZ Cheers Chrissie

Only saw the very end of it. Wanted to actually make this one the first one I've ever sat down and watched from beginning to end, but forgot about it!! As I only really saw the two songs at the end in full, here are my thoughts: "Gotta Get You Into My Life" - RIIIIIIIPPIN!!!!! Really cool version. Ya could tell that the dude meant what he was singing here. God forbid I'd almost be interested in a download of this!!!! "We Can Work it Out" - ABSOLUTE SHEEIT. And I don't dish out a call like that lightly. Anyone who's up there making music has my respect for that alone if nothing else. This version was just horrible in every sense. It doesn't matter that she didn't grow up with the band like she said. Doesn't excuse trashing all over a great song. Can't say enough bad things about this. From the snippets of the other guys, gotta say I'm really happy that the other guy did "Oh Darling". GREAT song. Would've been interesting to hear the whole thing. On another note, did everyone hear about Brian Wilson's Aussie Tour?? http://www.coppel.com.au/flash/BW04.swf Shows are starting to roll in - I love it. Got Tommy Emmanuel tix yesterday. Hopefully Tea Party next Tuesday
