Well Liza with a Z not with an S was slurring some of her words & I to couldn’t follow what she was saying half the time. But she is still the greatest in days gone by.
The show isn’t the same with JD, his voice is the same as Dicko’s.
Stans version of All the single ladies was scary to say the least, but I still like him.

Although it’s great to see the guest judges, I find it really limits what the male judges say. If they say something negative they are given a hard time by the guest judges ( as well as Macia). Are they going to have a week where there are no guest judges, so that Jaydee, especially can feel free to say what he feels?

Out of all the Idol contestants, only Ricki-Lee has done anything truly impressive, I can’t stand Guy and never could (totally overated), Anthony is great but most of what he has released is too “middle ground”, he needs to do a true dance/pop album with someone like Darren Hayes … the rest are forgetable …
and no-one will care less about this year’s bunch of unripend fruit when it is all over …

@bette streep, since when did Guy not want to be associated with Idol? I recall last year he was a mentor and guest judge even.

Liza was so great on Idol last night. She’s getting on in age, but that woman owned the stage. Her personality, charisma and humour came roaring out in the performance.

Those contestants need to understand the Enormous opportunity they are being given with these world class performers mentoring them.

For gods sake Toby, move your body and don’t just stand there like a stunned mullet.

@Better Streep “but former contestants like Guy, Lisa, Jessica refuse to come on because they don’t want to be associated with it anymore.”

Is this true or just speculation? Can’t say I blame them if it is true. I continue to watch only to see how much more of a train wreck it can be each week. But I really hope this is the final year of Idol (or rested for a few years so that people learn to miss it and maybe some proper talent will grow in that time) – I won’t be back next year if it is, and save myself up to 2 days of my life into the bargain.

They really have managed to stuff this show up, I only caught the middle bit and it was like watching Comedy Inc doing a parody of it.

Seriously who is producing these shows??? The contestants have about as much personality as the Rice Cakes I snack on during my work day.

I have a theory, in that if the wrong person wins a reality show it ruins it, Idol never ever recovered from Casey Econovan beating the much more talented Callea in 2004.

Big Brother never recovered from the Logan twins winning in 2005.

And the producers of Masterchef will get a nasty suprise when next year the figures aren’t as (g)astronmical as Julie winning totally and utterly ruined the integrity of the show.

Guess we will watch and wait.

Somebody please put this old dog out of its misery….

Not a fan of Liza but her live performance was amazing. Unfortunately it clearly highlighted the total lack of talent on the show.

Liza was amazing as always … these amateurs had an amazing opportunity to learn skills that could sustain them on stage for years to come … and it seems most of them wasted the opportunity … yes, I did watch the show because of Liza, but found the contestant performances to be mainly excruciatingly painful! As was some of the judging …

Watched some of the show after weeks away & came to the same conclusion….absolutely embarrising all round. Liza put on a brave face & as usual came out shining.Time to go Idol.

I thought Liza was brilliant last night.

Didn’t watch the rest of the show because I just felt anything after that performance would have been such a huge let down.

Such a shame that Idol has had some really great guest judges and performers like Liza, Suzi and Harry – but former contestants like Guy, Lisa, Jessica refuse to come on because they don’t want to be associated with it anymore.

I didn’t watch the show so may not have a proper grasp on the theme ‘Stage and Screen’ but Powderfinger’s ‘These Days’ was written for the film ‘Two Hands’.

I only watched half but agree with the comments re not sticking to the theme and it’s getting annoying. These Days is a great song but didn’t fit the theme. Oh and I think Circle Of Life fitted the theme being known from film and not as a pop song.

And yes last week was the same ,on big band night Beyonce??? C’mon how about some Sinatra? Don’t just pick your favorite song and try and fit it into the theme.

Liza was fantastic btw!
