I thought I might start a World Idol thread. So here it is.

I'm sure you all know Kelly will be representing the USA. The contestants get to perform a song from their original contest run. I'm crossing my fingers for a "Stuff Like That There" repeat. If not, my second favorite is "Think Twice." Okay, I don't have any more thoughts right now.

Hi there. Someone wanted to know if countries that are not participating in World Idol will get to see it televised. The answer is a definite yes. I am from New Zealand and our NZ Idol is not starting till next year so we were too late off the mark to get into this years World Idol.

I must say that I would have loved to see Clay Aiken (America;s runner up this year). I'm sure he could give them all a run for their money

Will you be able to vote, though?

Big thread on it here Jess

Looks like you cant vote for your own country, but you lot get Simon as your judge!!

Reply to NoDoubtJess.

I'm not sure. I certainly hope so as I'm sure to have an opinion lol. I know that for Australian Idol we New Zealanders couldnt vote. Somehow I had just assumed we would but one should never assume eh?

And to Tallys message. Simon cowell should be renamed Simon Cruel. I thought that aussies 'Dicko' was going to be as bad but no he had at least some positive things to say.

Awww, we love Simon.

He gives humour to the whole show.

You should see the true Dick-head we have in our alternate to Pop Idol- Fame Academy....he really is cringeworthy, think Simon with NO humour.

Thanks, tally.

I'm happy Simon is representing the USA. We won't have to listen to Randy's "dawg" and Paula is just an embarrassment.

i'm ova in n.z and i'm really hopin dat world idol will b screened ova here...i havn't seen any advertisements 4 world idol so i'm not 2 sure if they will screen it but if they do i hope new zealanders can vote coz i no who i'm gona vote 4...GUY!!!!! guy all da way!! go da fro!! he is SUCH an amazin singa and i hav heard will young and kelly clarkson and no offence or nething but i think they rn't DAT good...dats onli mi opinion...wen kelly clarskon sang miss independent on austrailan idol she couldn't get da high notes and i thought it was a very husky performance from her...once again dats just mi opinion so plz dn't bite mi head off for sayin this...i started likin guy wen he sang 'everything i do, i do it 4 u' i was seriously blown away! i wasn't really a guy fan coz i really liked kelly cavuoto! she was an awesum singa and i was very sad and shocked she left so early in da competition...so afta dat i started lookin out 4 guy...and i was blown away by his amazin voice...i was pleased dat it came down to 2 great blokes who were both genuine but i was glad dat guy was gona represent australia in world idol....

GO DA FRO

marcia hines-i think ur voice is the most beautiful instrument i've eva heard
dicko-ur the best unsigned talent i've heard
mark holden-ur the supreme interpretar...

(all comments towards guy)

please make it stop

I glad too

Plus we (UK) get Pete Waterman, this guy is funny. He thinks he knows everything and him and Simon fight a lot, but it's all fun.

Also Ant and Dec are hosting the show for UK & US, these guys are the best. You should like them. For the American Idol 1 thats y u had 2 presenters, but it just didn't work.


Not sure about this but i think the voting works like the eurovision song contest.


Each country votes(not for their representive) and then the the person with the most votes gets 10 pts, then 9 then 8 and so on.

PS. From there own Country u automatically get 12 pts.

Jess is from Texas, you think she's going to understand a word they say?
