Contrary to many people’s thoughts at the beginning of the finals & pretty much throughout until this point, Tarasai Vushe has been voted out of Idol 2007. We think a lot of people, judging by what the polls were saying & the general attitude throughout, thought that Tarasai would at least be in the final 2 if not take the title this year. But we had a feeling that she wouldn’t make it. Whilst she definitely has the singing talent, hers is an attitude and a personality that doesn’t sit very well with the Australian public. We think she’d appeal more to the Americans than here in Australia.
Did the judges comments have anything to do with her being voted out? Its a controversial question, but we’d be naive not to think it had some impact. However, in the scheme of things, we believe that she sealed her own fate, especially with her behaviour after the show which widely publicised especially on the Dicko & Holden show on Nova. Australia usually cuts down “tall poppies”.. its our way of keeping the playing field level. This is probably why Marty is still there - he’s the good old down to earth Aussie bloke.
So there you have it boys & girls, our top 4 for 2007. If we had to put our money on top 2, we’d go with Matt & Nat although Carl is a big possibility as well. Marty will probably go next week..

Thanks for your comment sol but we disagree.. we don’t think racism played a part.. if it did, then we’d have to get rid of Natalie as well as she’s not “Australian”. Or do you think its more of a black versus white thing? Our thinking is that it was all about how you put yourself out there. Australians generally don’t like people who are too sure of themselves. That sort of thing DOES play well in America, but not so much here. We think this is what turned the judges off too, although we think its unfair that they took it to such a personal level & didn’t focus on her talent.
