Wes Carr has been crowned Australian Idol 2008. He defeated Luke Dickens at the Sydney Opera House tonight.

Australian Idol’s 2008 finale got underway outside the Sydney Opera House tonight.
Under rainy skies, it was the first time the show had staged an outdoor finale. The very first shot of the Opera House was through raindrops on the camera lens. The opening number ‘Can You Feel It’ probably had dual meaning to the soaked crowd in the Opera House forecourt.

Competing for the title were musician Wes Carr and shearer Luke Dickens, both from New South Wales. As with the first year of Idol, they were two males from the city and the bush.

  1. – Kasey needed eyebrows to balance her dark eyeshadow. The dress was lovely.
    – For a musician, Wes’s thigh slapping was rather out of time with the music – probably because of his ridiculous technique.
    – I felt sorry for Jess Mauboy’s dancers – one of them almost took Jess down when she slipped on the wet stage.

    I’m glad Wes won. Not because I like him, just because I hated the other guy. Why so damn serious, mate?
