A bit of silliness . . .
So who's going to win World Pop Idol?
Anyone want to make a nice cheesy prediction?
Is it a two horse race between UK and USA?
I thought Will Young was great, but there's other songs that show his voice better. The USA girl (Kelly) sounds like she's so already a superstar and in the top bracket. Would you choose her? The Australian afro-hair singer sounded like a second Stevie Wonder I thought - incredible vocal range and control. I liked the Belgian guy (Peter) who did the Nirvana song but he does look like a fab heavy metal singer rather than a pop idol. Likewise the Pan-Arabic girl had the most wonderful voice but sadly it's very hard to compete internationally singing an Arabic song. The Norwegian bloke (Kurt - singing U2's Beautiful Day) had great personality and voice and again not the standard pop idol type. For the others, I thought the wee Polish girl was good for taking her own judge down a peg or two (shame about the song). And only Ant & Dec could get away with a joke like "They may be foreign, but they've got feelings too." :blush:
A great show though (and it's repeated 11am tomorrow 26th if you missed it and fancy guessing :nice: )
Ciao
