I appreciate the moderator here stepping in about calling Marcia’s remarks racist but it is not the first time she has made a racial remark on the show.

Todd, if the phone lines were still open when I got my SMS confirmation message, I wouldn’t have been concerned about the very delayed response, acknowledging my vote(s), but since voting closes at 3:00am now, around seven and a half hours before I got my response, it just made me wonder if my votes for Marijana even went through…

Anita the same thing has happened to me after voting for people… I wouldn’t worry about it.

I noticed a couple of times this week he said “I’m Andrew Günsberg and this is Australian Idol” instead of the normal Andrew G title.. perhaps he really is coming into his own? I wonder why he would have thought his surname was so ‘uncool’?

I voted quite a number of times for Marijana during the show on Tuesday night, yet, it wasn’t until the next day, at 10:36:20 am, that I finally got an SMS message thanking me for my vote… I should have got it straight after my first vote for her, on Tuesday night… The date and time of the message makes me think that maybe my votes for her weren’t even counted…

Andrew was fully right to question her. She made a racist statement and just because she is marcia she got away with it. She absolutely hates being wrong so when she was proven wrong she couldnt take it. Look at what happens when a female performer gives a good song, she will usually act jealous just because she cant take it. You just not that great marcia and dont get me wrong your a nice person but learn when you are wrong just admit it. Good for you Andrew G.

Andrew G is fantastic. As is Marcia Hines – I honestly dont know how the contestants and viewers would cope without her kind and supportive words. I enjoyed the argument, entertaining!

And Idol should really stop promoting certain contestants (cough cough hot brickie/tradie guy that has never sung). Annoying.

I thought she said that because Dicko was saying how Aliqua’s motives for singing soul were for the wrong reasons and that he had no feeling for it. So she said that to say no he’s “white” of course he likes soul for the right reasons because it is generally a “black” genre. I must’ve read the whole argument wrong. O_O

I don’t watch Idol, but good on Andrew G for taking the helm this year, and Marcia, as always, for being a humanist…

@Kate.”her.styling over the last two nights made her look like a transvestite” lol! Thats what I was thinking. And not the good “is she or isn’t she a tranny” either. She looked like a man, which is a talent in it’s self I suppose.

I can’t believe Idol still allows under-18′s to compete. They are not emotionally mature enough to handle the pressure and stress of the competition.

I thought their banter they’ve been having is really good and opens up a bit more in depth discussions and judging on their performance, because the judges just aren’t given enough time to explain themselves for some things and we need arguments like this so the full message can be put across.

three points…1. the show should not have under 18′s – they are not emotionally prepared for the reality and pressure. 2 .I dont mind Andrew G spicing it uo, but he has to be careful and 3. bring back Kyle, at least he was game to argue.

Marcia looked foolish last night because she wasn’t given the opportunity to finish the point she was making. Andrew G needs to be careful because let’s face it he’s no Einstein. I wish Kyle was there to throw in his opinion at least with him you weren’t left wondering.

Marcia is the correct one here. How dare some loser like Andrew G (who is trying to be as funny as James Mathison) argue with Marcia?
