ausculture.com Successfully Picks Tonight’s Winners

Yay for Amali!I talk out my arse most of the time, so imagine my surprise when all three of my top three picks made it through to the Top Twelve! That’s right, Amali, Daniel and Angie will be appearing on our screens sometime soon, with single mother Liza just missing out. Liza didn’t appear overly fussed though, and even teased Yasmine about how at least she made it into the Stool Gang. Probably not the best name, especially with much of the nation of the opinion Idol contestants are complete shit, but the point was valid.

I have to say, I really do love Amali now. She looks so delightfully mildly disinterested in proceedings, and her obvious awkwardness with hand movements just endears her to me. Don’t worry Chanel, you’re still ausculture.com’s Number One Gal, but Amali is running a close second. I might mention that Angie’s performance was rather good tonight as well, but then she was always a shoe-in to make the Top Twelve so I shouldn’t be surprised.

Meanwhile, Daniel looked gutted after making it into the Top Three and surpassing Liza, who he realised had out-performed him on Sunday night. Still, I’m quietly confident we’re going to see some good stuff from Daniel as long as he learns to pick songs that suit his ability and doesn’t just kowtow to Dicko’s whims.

The big question this week is - when will Marcia give Maxwell Sheffield his hair back?

ausculture.com Readers!
If you were able to pick a song for Daniel Belle to sing, what would it be? While we’re at it, feel free to suggest songs for other contestants as well. I’d be interested to see what you think.

Claire and I have just spent 20 minutes discussing that VERY subject. We've come up with:

Boys & Girls - Blur Parklife - Blur Fit But You Know It - The Street Dry Your Eyes - The Streets Can't Touch This - MC Hammer

Among others.

"Dry Your Eyes" by The Streets intrigues me, yes indeed! Though judging from Daniel's surliness on Sunday night, perhaps a Korn song is more appropriate?

Ahem. Actually, there's a Robbie Williams song I think Daniel could possibly pull off - "Something Beautiful". But I could be making that up because the song is in my head at the moment.

I think you're right Jess. Korn could be a goer. Maybe "Got the Life".

I've come round to the conclusion in edition to some great geezer rap, he should also do Bitter by Jill Sobule...or at least, it should be played over a Daniel montage...

"I don't want to get bitter I don't want to talk cruel I don't want to get old before I have to"

If he sang THAT in a sulk, I've give up supporting Chanel

Haha! Touche!

Or what about the other classic whinge anthem "Insensitive" by Joan Arden (I think). Sung directly at Dicko, it could really have some power!
