Was Brooke robbed of her place in the next round of Australian Idol, asks her local paper Wyndham Leader:
Brooke Addamo’s Idol dream in tatters
by James Twining
HAS singer Brooke Addamo been robbed of her Australian Idol dream?
That’s the question hundreds of passionate Idol fans are asking after the Werribee schoolgirl was voted off in Monday night’s eviction show.
Brooke, 17, received the lowest number of telephone votes, but frustrated viewers have told how they weren’t able to vote for the Werribee starlet because the phone lines were jammed.
The show has already suffered difficulties with its voting system, with fans last week receiving an automated text message saying previous evictee Johnny Taylor wasn’t in the bottom three, despite him being so. Fans were forced to pay twice to vote again.
One fan wrote he tried 15 times to vote for Brooke on Monday before giving up.
“Brooke’s line kept saying that it was closed every time you SMSd it. I received the message like 15 times before I gave up voting and that was all before 7.40pm,” he wrote.
A Channel 10 spokeswoman said there was no discrepancy.
“There were no technical problems with the Idol voting system last night. All votes received by Be.interactive prior to 8pm were processed,” she said.
“All necessary information regarding the Idol voting system is accessible on the Idol website in the Terms and Conditions and a user-friendly guide to the new system.”
Brooke’s father Carlo Addamo said she was devastated after last night’s shock result. She will return home to Werribee soon.
“Firstly (when she gets home) I will tell her how proud I am of her,” Mr Addamo said. “She couldn’t have done anything different.”
Mr Addamo said he would await the outcome of any investigation into the alleged voting bungle.
Brooke’s eviction came as a shock after she was considered a big chance to finish in the top five, following in the footsteps of previous Wyndham idols Anthony Callea and Ricky Muscat.
The Idol judges were full of praise after Brooke’s Sunday night performance and appeared surprised to see her depart.
“The most solid and aggressive I have seen you. You did a great job,” judge Marcia Hines said on Sunday night.
Co-judge Kyle Sandilands said: “That’s the first time I’ve ever gone ‘Wow she’s real good’.”

Former Savage Garden frontman Darren Hayes is disappointed with how his London audition contestant Sophie Paterson is going in Australian Idol.
Paterson, has been in the bottom three for the past two weeks, and according to betting websites is the favourite to be booted next after teenager Brooke Addamo was voted off.
Hayes said he felt "quite protective" of Paterson, the 23-year-old Victorian born singer, who was chosen by himself and Tina Arena in the UK audition.
But believed she had become too caught up with being "slick".
"I feel like maybe the process has overwhelmed her a bit," he said.
"I can understand there's a pressure to conform - you're surrounded by a lovely wardrobe and stylists ... you've got all these resources at your hands, you can be very slick, but I don't think that's what she is."
"When friends at home said she was in the bottom three I was a bit offended, I took it personally."
Paterson was working in a bar when a producer came in to hand out flyers for the first-time London audition.
"The person that we saw was sort of frail, introverted, tiny little Joni Mitchell, who came in with her acoustic guitar and she was very unassuming," Hayes said.
"If she gets voted off for the girl that she was in the pub in London I just think she'll feel better about herself."
Hayes, now based in the UK, is mentoring contestants this week, and will be a guest judge on Sunday.
He said he didn't believe he could survive such a competition, and wanted to help the singers be "performers" for Aussie Hits week.
"I don't think these shows should just be a machine that takes someone who's a diamond in the rough and spits them out all shiny," he said.
"I want people to have their angles and their flaws and their scars."
Hayes said he was impressed with Roshani Priddis and Wes Carr, and had glowing praise for Chrislyn Hamilton's latest performance of True Colours.
"The way she looked at the cameras and the things that she said, maybe it's because I'm a gay man, but I related to her feelings of unworthiness," Hayes said.
"And I think that thing when you really expose yourself as a performer, to me that's what makes a star."
Meanwhile, a disappointed Addamo also tipped Carr or Priddis to win.
The Melbourne school girl vowed to continue her music career.
"I had a pretty good run, but it's more than the judges comments, it's the public voting and the popularity and things like that," Addamo said.
"It must have been just my time to go."

SHE HAS BEEN ROBBED
SHE DESERVES ANOTHER CHANCE
I swear if the TV get a hold on this all hell is gunna break loose
I really felt like ringing australian idol and complaning cos i swear no matter how many people voted for her monday night and sunday night IT WOULDNT GO THROUGH
Its idosl fault the line was stuffed up NOT HERS therefore she deserves anotherchance
I tried voting on my mobile and home phone, my mum's mobile,my grandparents home phone and mobile,my cousins mobile and my auntie's mobiles and got the same message.
And my whole neighbourhood was voting as well monday night (because i told them too
) and they all couldn't get through either. I tried like 100 + times and spent like probably over $200 credit trying to vote for her but kept getting the message saying either the voting lines were not open or that she'd already been eliminated centerbet also had brooke up at 2pm to go as well on monday afternoone which i dont get how they'd know unless it was rigged because the voting lines DONT CLOSE TILL 7PM MONDAY NIGHT for sunday night's performance
this has happened with big brother also a few years ago when they stuffed up the voting.
^ thats why i rarely vote in such shows 
its always rigged. I never 100% trust, nor will I ever trust it.
But thats ridiculous!!!! My vote didn't go through, and I was wondering wtf happened. I hope this does get exposed - it should be.

Something Wrong On Australian Idol?
Sep 25 08:31am
The father of ousted Australian Idol contestant Brooke Addamo is investigating alleged betting and voting peculiarities in the lead-up to her surprise elimination on Sept. 22. After belting out 'Bette Davis Eyes' on the Sept. 21 show, 17-year-old Brooke was showered with praise by the judges.
So it came as a shock to her adoptive dad, Carlo Addamo, that by 2 PM the next day, the school student from Melbourne's Werribee was the favourite to go, according to Australian betting outlets. Says Carlo, 44: "Something wasn't sitting right."
At least one betting agency was puzzled, too. "All of a sudden, [bets] came rapidly," says Centrebet spokesman Neil Evans. "They backed [Brooke] and no-one else."
There's also anecdotal evidence that Brooke's supporters were unable to vote for her. Network Ten and Fremantle Media, who produce the show, deny this. "There were no technical problems with the Idol voting system this week," they said in a statement to WHO. "All votes received ... prior to 8 PM were processed, counted and independently audited by Ernst & Young." As for the suggestion anything untoward occurred: "The system is designed so that it cannot be manipulated."
Carlo remains doubtful. "It's hard for me," he says. "Because she had done all right so far. Something's terribly wrong."
Australian Idol: Brooke Addamo Says Goodbye
Sep 23 08:57pm
Melbourne balladeer Brooke Addamo, 17, was a surprise eviction from Australian Idol on Sept. 22 but she is grateful. Grateful for the experience, grateful for the boxing lessons from guest Idol mentor funky, crazy, Cyndi Lauper and grateful she doesn't have to do her final school year - just yet.
Any judge's advice you wish you hadn't taken?
No, I think the judges were right. They did push me in a couple of early episodes, but it was good I got to show off other sides of my performing. But I do wish I would have stuck around to sing a few more ballads.
Best Idol experience?
Definitely meeting Cyndi Lauper, she was amazing and great. And I will take her advice with me forever. She's not very tall, I think she's about my height but she had heels on so she's probably shorter. But she was really lovely. She spoke to us backstage and she was really cool.
She was getting you to push her around during your one-on-one session. Is it fun beating up celebrities?
Yeah, I love bashing up celebrities (laughs). No, I think she was basically trying to get me to have a different edge and just get a bit angry with the song [Bette Davis Eyes]. It really worked, I think. It was fun. (laughs)
Are you going to finish school now?
I think I'm just going to take a week off and then after that start writing again, gigging, getting my name out there. Because I really want to use this opportunity, the little bit of exposure that I've had, to try and get my name out there. If nothing comes of that, I'll definitely go back and repeat next year.
What kind of music are you looking to do?
I've learnt a lot through Idol so I want to write some new stuff. Of course I'm going to have ballads but some funkier stuff, some acoustic stuff. I just want to go and brainstorm.
You look gorgeously healthy now but you weren't always so slim. How did you start to lose weight?
I used to eat to compensate for things. It was a family decision, just changing the foods that you eat, changing your outlook on life. Getting involved in singing really helped my confidence and helped me not be so shy and timid. I don't really go to the gym or anything. I just keep fit. I go on the treadmill and try and not eat too much junk food and stuff like that. I'm not really a health freak but I do like to be healthy 'cause it makes you feel better. Especially if you're a performer, if you eat lots of crap foods and don't do any exercise then it's not going to benefit you.
Have you heard good rumours about yourself?
Yeah. I had a few rumours that I was connected to Hillsong. And that my dad took out a mortgage to vote for me. That made me laugh. But I don't really read the blogs or anything because, I don't know, I don't want to read terrible things about myself. I just stay away from negative things.
Have you met your celebrity crush, radio host Hamish Blake?
No, I haven't, I haven't! I was looking forward to, that maybe if I got further in the competition I would get to meet Hamish. He's really funny. But I haven't. It's a bit sad. Hopefully in the future.
When you get your first single out!
Hopefully! (laughs.)
Anyone else in here who voted for Brooke PM me because I have something that I need you guys to do

Generally a solid performance tonight, but I think we may have a new person in the bottom 3: Madam Parker. She had an explosive start performing The Veronicas' Hook Me Up but struggled for the rest of the song.
Tom tried his best singing Evermore's Light Surrounding You but he also struggled.
And how did Roshani and Wes found those classic Aussie hits?
andrew dont you think sophie killed the potbellez song dont hold back? its not a ballad its a dance song she totally ruined it
I am not Andrew but I have mixed feelings on Sophie's rendition of Don't Hold Back. On one hand Sophie ruined the song and it was Darren Hayes who suggested that she sang in this way. On the other hand Sophie is fighting to survive in the competition so she has to try anything to impress the audience. If Sophie bows out tomorrow I will blame Darren for it.

i hate Don't Hold Back, so I think Sophie improved it
But Hook Me Up was horrible! Shame for Madam... her voice would've suited a song like Untouched which is higher and faster then Hook Me Up.
totally agreed! it was horrible!!
sophie did a beuatiful job on that song.
My favourite's tonight were Roshani & Chrislyn & I think Sophie will go (she should've gone last week).
My Top today : Sophie
Bottom 3 : Tom, Luke, Thanh (and Madam)
