I think Roshani was the standout performer from tonight and will go into the top 12 one way or the other.
I am happy that Brooke Addamo qualifies for the finals and Sophie performing tonight
And is it just a coincidence? Nicole sang Sara Bareilles' Love Song on Idol and 30 minutes later, the real Sara performed the same track live on Dancing with the Stars.

THERE SHOULD BE MORE GIRLS GO THROUGH!!!
GIOOOOOO AMANDA AND SOPHIE

I thought that it sucked that we only get to choose one, but atleast this way, with the judges choosing, there will be a better chance of good performers getting in, instead of people voting because of how good looking they are and stuff like that.

I would like to see Sophie, Roshani, Jonny and Amanda get in.

I hope Brooke Wilkie auditions again next year..

I'm a little sad Kayla didn't get another chance


I wouldn't mind those either!

weagree

Although I'm getting sick of the James story. With the son. I know it's a big deal and stuff. But it's just bugging me!!!

I really want Roshani in...

VOTE FOR AMANDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sms amanda to 191010



if she doesnt get through to the top twelve, im never doing my homework again

i mainly say this to convince teachers to vote for her, BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

OMG JUDGES HAVE HORRIBLE TASTE!!! DUMB JUDGES - THEY SHOULD GO AWAY... They are picking people who will be voted out in the first round! So what's the point? To waste spots?

SERIOUSLY

AHHHHHH THE JUDGES ARE FREAKING IDIOTS

GAHHHHHHH I WANTED AMANDA AND SOPHIEEEEEEEEEEE

I think Sophie has got Australia's vote!

But seriously! Luke WILL (I repeat WILL) not make it to the Top 10!!! HE'S A BOGAN!!

I'm kind of over the Idol Hype.
I may still watch it - But it just bores me.

very surprised about luke! and i really wanted nicole to go though but i'm sooo happy about sophie! i think i'll be following sophie, tom and teale

im following brooke 1# and sophie 2#

So do I Was disappointed Nicole did not go through

i cant wait! it would be good to see them finally start the comp! haha

its gonna be a great group this year!

i go for Madam, Brooke, Sophie and Roshani!! love there voices!

the guys are ok! i'll have to watch sunday to see which ones my favourite lol

Jahan xx

i dont think any of the guys are as good as past years

I find it weird that the judges casted their votes before they announced the Australian public vote, For all they knew, Roshani (for example) could have got the most votes. The public vote should have been put through first, then the other 3 with the judges votes.


I was pretty happy with the 4 wildcards, i had wanted Roshani, Jonny and Sophie through.

I'm shocked with Luke, he's a pretty cool guy, but i can't see him doing all that well in the top 12. Tbh, i couldn't have even seen him in the top 12 if the judges didn't put him there.

I'm upset that Amanda didn't get through, i think she would have done heaps well!

Hopefully we see a few of them back next year, i personaly would like to see Brooke Wilkie back and Amanda, also a few others, but them two mainly.

im soo annoyed with the judges choices.. luke will NEVER sell records!
wasted spot!
Roshani and Sophie are good tho!

i agree...the some of the judges choices were crap! i wanted nicole n brooke to get through luke and jonny didnt cut it for me sorry!

is it just me or is there only 5 females? and 7 males?

yeh i no i think thats how it was last year aswell its not fair really..n personally i dont think the guys are that special this year..there were some amazing girls this year that didnt get through

I missed it tonight, but I can see that Jonny got through, awesome.

Okay, my favourites so far are Mark & Sophie.
but mainly mark
I can't beleive Johnny got through, i loathe his singing.




Has anyone else noticed that Brooke really looks like Michael Cera?

Not only will he not sell records, but he's only just doing this singing thing for a laugh. He doesn't seem to be into it that much.

It's like he just decided to pick up a mic on a whim! From what I can tell anyway.

What a wasted spot.

And Jonny wont last long. The main demographic that watch this, wont vote for him. So I think he'll be gone in the first few weeks too.

Personally I think the judges should have picked people who are going to create more entertainment, and therfore more votes, rather then just trying to pick people from all different groups.

I think they've f-ed up big time.

So glad Roshani is in!!!! yeeeeah!

She went to school with 2 of my friends from uni, and she's really good friends with one of them...so i said i'd go for her. She's got a really good voice!

wasted spot seriously

amanda should've got through

who do you think got the 'wasted' spot?
