Congrats to Ganesha and Mrs Ganesha - It's a girl!
Fans of RealityCast might be interested to hear that Mrs Ganesha gave birth this morning to a baby girl! Both mother and daughter are well, and Kram is pretty excited.

Not sure if Ganesha will be available next week to record a show, so you might just all have to put up with another Kram solo cast.

Hi guys, apologies if we have suddenly disappeared from your subscribed list in i-tunes. We are still there, just now under the old name idolsparks thanks to the naughty people at Libsyn. Rest assured we have sent our hate mail to them and this will be rectified shortly. You can still get our latest episode under the Idolsparks option.

Wednesday nights BIG show - our faith restored.

Ok Ganesha, calm down, have a cup of herbal tea.

Big post - It is the morning after and we are still in awe of how the left of centre singers are kicking the same old singers arses. GO BOBBY and thanks Australia for getting it HALF right. How is this happening? I have four singers I love this year. That has NEVER happened before.

So lets have Kram give us the run down of last night, because frankly I couldnt care less about any of them except Lisa. I will talk about her at the bottom.

Rachael - drunken karaoke.
Lavina - very professional...nice. Lets not leave out the R&B guys.
Rebecca - OMG, she's so stunning, but so terrible. She should never have been selected as we have previously stated.
Jess G - Wow that was a shame because she's a great character and has proven to be a unique alternative singer in the past.
Lisa - (Krams take) Shame she shied away from the camera ...a little bit too underplayed for me...but she's got charisma...she's fascinating.
Lydia - Mark was spot on about the musical theatre comment. You do have to compare her with this group.

Ganesha, me thinks you've been too pessimistic about the people who vote...2 of your wildcard predictions got through on the popular vote!

Here is my take on my new favourite - Lisa may sound a bit like Missy Higgins but her voice is a hell of a lot more original. Her tone and the way she plays with the sound of the words is world class and shows a greater complexity than Higgins or Kasey Chambers. I listened to her and thought, Jesus, this girl could stop learning today and still be better than most of them out there.

She is NOT a 60's singer, those comparisons are just on the surface. She is a modern voice, an Australian voice that you can draw more comparisons to the Bushwackers (old colonial folk music) than Joni Mitchell. I have always found Higgins accent a little contrived and forced, whereas Lisa does it so naturally. I have never seen someone on this show more comfortable and naturally gifted.

watch lisa's audition (courtesy of youtube)


LOTS more talk about how these gifted songwriters are possible taking over the show.

Tuesday nights show
THE GIRLS
Reigan and Jessica are through as expected. Jessica, you better do some serious thinking. Stop being an imitator.
We will be holding daily prayers for Amanda to get the Wildcard.
 
THE BOYS
Ricky - Nice job. He has a great raspy tone to his voice. I liked this performance. Didnt know the song but i was humming the melody during the break which says something about his performance. He should go through.
 
James - Awful, just awful. I think he probably gave some kids nightmares. He looked like he was going to go the cameraman with an ice pick any second. No musicality, his screamed his way through an awkward agressive performance. Go away.
 
Chris G - Like Atlanta he has an attitude problem. He should pay attention to what Mark has to say. Its the only constructive criticism he will get. He was all over the place. Sloppy.
 
Bobby - After his performance all i wanted to do was record a Podcast entirely on this guy. I have calmed down a bit since. He was great television, a great voice, a snappy dresser and an obvious lover of good music, unlike many of the contestants who have appeared on this show. Such a unique thoughtful performer. I would love him to be voted in because i dont trust these judges to put him in as a Wildcard. Best of the night.
 
Joseph - Ganesha Snr believes that he will go through. If he does it will be because he is cute, because that was one of the worst performances i have ever seen on this or any other show. He needs more live experience.  
 
Guy - Ummmm, oh i dont know. He was good. Perhaps a bit polished and scripted for my liking. I just dont know about this guy yet.
 
Who will go through - Ricky and Joseph
Who should go through - Ricky and Bobby
 
Quote of the week -  TQ from Inside Idol sent me a message last night after Kyle once again humiliated himself with his comments on Under The Milky Way - the message was this - "Kyle is a complete fuc#wit". Also Bazza recommends you all go compare the Punk Rocker song with Rock and Roll (you gave me the best years of my life). Plagarism?

Quick roundup of Monday nights show
Thank god they had the thought to combine the results and the performances. Having to sit through a whole long drawn out results show is annoying.  
 
THE BOYS
We were very happy to see that the adult vote is going to have an impact this season. Damien being chosen was the best indication of this. You were spot on Kram.
 
On the flipside lets not forget the all powerful young female vote. Dean Bon Jovi was the second male to go through, proving that talent is not the only thing people vote for.
 
We predict Nathaniel and Chris M will be chosen for wildcard.
 
THE GIRLS 
Lyndelle was OK, nothing to write home about. 
 
Atlanta - Yes she is a very good singer, professional and reliable. However she needs an attitude adjustment. She is clearly singing from behind layers of repression, her eyes show a blankness that comes from years of shutting people out. She may be suffering inside however a great artist lets it out at risk to their well being. I hope she gets to read this. Its time to break down the wall Atlanta. Go listen to Tear For Fears - The Hurting and The The - Infected. 
 
Jessica - Yes she can sing, outstanding voice actually. However she does not have the depth of character yet to really warrant keeping her. She is too young in the heart if that makes sense. Come back in two years.
 
Klancie - All the girls can learn a lot from her performance. She was open to the moment, showed herself to be a deep and emotional person. Her vocals were sometimes a little off however on a whole she should be going through perhaps as a Wildcard.
 
Amanda - I have liked her from the start. Smart, sexy, great raspy voice, lots of fun. Balance this with her being a Mum and a dedicated dance teacher. She will do wonders for this show. Akin to what Lee Harding did last year, except with talent. She MUST move through.
 
Reigan - Yes it was an awful arrangement, i blame the drummer. This song is a beat driven song. This girl is a real find, she seems to be able to cover all facets of this show. Beautiful yet a bit daggy, she can sing classical, folk and r&b with ease. I see her in the top three if she keeps this up. The only thing she needs to be mindful of is that there is a career after this show and she needs to ensure that she makes it clear to the retarded record companies out there what her audience is going to be. The people get confused with singers who can cross genres. Eva Cassidy couldnt get a decent record deal...... need i say more!  
 
We will post more comments for Tonight and Wednesdays shows and be back in full force for Thurday night. Followed by Sunday night.
