Australian Idol Top 9: Idol's choice

Kate DeAraugo - "Not that kind" by Anastacia. She was good, she's like my 5 favourite or something. The judges liked her.

James Kannis - "Love the one you're with" by Luther Vandross. Just...ew. And that's not just because I love LV. He's such a Callea copy, seriously, except he's SO BAD. The only reason I like him is because of what he did for Lee, which I'll explain later.

Roxanne LeBrasse - "The Voice Within" by Christina Aguilera. She sounds like a mouse. A mouse high on sugar. Seriously, I have no idea how she got this far, she's really bad. She's nice, but really bad. The judges liked her, but she went home.

Emily Williams - "Hero". by Mariah Carey. Also SO bad. Seriously, she's just...BAD. She's my 2nd least favourite aside from James. All the judges liked her for some reason, except for Mark who hated everything last night, I'll explain later.

Lee Harding - "Holiday" by Green Day. Lee is the just the best. He has pink and black hair with yellow sometimes and he has lip rings and like 10 stud and spike bracelets and all this rings and he's just the BEST. He wears pink eyeshadow too! I seriously love him. Kyle liked him and so did Marcia, but Mark's a stupid idiot so he asked Lee if the song actually meant anything to him. Lee says "I'm not a very political person, but I really like the song" which is fine, but Mark gets all mad and is like "What, so you just sing songs you don't understand and don't care about?" and Lee was like ummmmm and Kyle was like "It's not about the message anymore, he dug the song and did it justice", but Mark was being a bitch about it and got worse near the end of the show.

Milly Edwards - "Sunday Morning" by No Doubt. She's my second favourite, she's like Chanel from last year except she looks just like Emelia but a lot prettier, she has like bird hair which is brown with a purple stripe and she goes so well with Lee, I have this picture of them together and it's the cutest thing!! She's so shy all the time which makes her so cute! She wasn't that great with ND though, Kyle hated it, Marcia didn't like it that much, and Mark was mean like he was to everyone that night.

Dan England - "To be with you" by Mister Big. Dan's great, he like has all these dreadlocks and always wears this toque, he's my third favourite I think. The judges though he was okay, and he was.

Daniel Spillane - "If I could" by 1927. Dan is the cutest guy ever. Seriously, he just has this face, he kind of looks like a wolf puppy but not really, it's hard to explain. No one likes him so I think he'll be gone next week, but seriously he's awesome. His voice is like deeper than Anthony's. The judges thought he was okay too.

Anne Robertson - "Independent Women" by Destiny's Child. Anne's cool, she's in the middle of my list somewhere. Everyone liked it except for Mark, of course, and this is where he totally went overboard. He started saying that it was BS and that there was no attitude and that he expected a bosom shake or some other crap and Anne was like "Ummm I don't do that kind of thing" and he got all pissed and then walked out. Seriously, he got up and stormed out to backstage. Anne started crying because she felt really bad, but it gets worse.

So after the show, Mark decides to hunt down the REAL cause of his anger: Lee. Yup, he's still pissed about Lee apparently "not caring about the political meaning of the song". So he finds him and starts yelling "YOU, I'm really pissed off with" and pointing at him and Lee was like ummmm and there's a picture where Lee is just like :0. He didn't really know what to say. And then James came and was like "You can't just shut him down like that!" and then Mark ran backstage again. That's why I like James, is because I think it was good of him to do that for Lee. Apparently he likes Kate too. And Lee likes Milly or something. Inside Idol gossip.
