Updated Wouter site with the winner's name and pictures and stuff. I know I'm supposed to be doing my homework right now but it'll only take me a little while and plus it's gay. Okay well it's not gay, but I just felt like saying that. I'll start it at 8:30pm.

I was going to talk about Jonathan, but now it's like 20 to nine and I have two poems to write, but maybe I'll just type them up/write them while typing. I love Jonathan.

Okay, i'ts now 10:33pm, I finished all my homework about half an hour ago, so now I've got half an hour to listen to Guy Sebastian and study Buddhism at www.buddhanet.net. Ahaha man walks on moon. Sorry.

So I phoned Jonathan's grandparents on December 1st, and they said that he was definitely coming back, so I gave them my new phone number.

He's coming on the 17th. EEK that's only 14 days. Eek 2 weeks. That's when we get off from school. And that's when Lemony Snicket's movie "A series of unfortunate events" comes out! I am SO seeing that! I meant to see it on the day it comes out but my sister's working that day so we're seeing it on the 18th, so that's good. Unless he wants to do something on that day. In which case it won't be. He always comes when I'm doing something! This is probably more important though, I mean like it's my boyfriend that I haven't seen in like 3 months. Over 3 months. And by the time it gets to the 17th it'll be almost 4 months. I am SO making him write to me next time. Stupid Jonathan. Sweet Jonathan. I love him.

They're having another Claremont Idol. The auditions are till next week. I want to audition, but I have to wait till I'm not sick because I'll sound crappy otherwise. Even though I already do. It'll just make it worse. If that's possible. I'm trying decide between Evanescence "October" "Imaginary" "Tourniquet" and "I must be dreaming" and maybe "Give unto me" but I don't think so. And also maybe "Even in death". This is what I've worked out so far:

October - Probably the best song but it makes me cry because of Jordan.
Imaginary - Second best to October but it gets a little too loud at partsIt and I dont' want to blow my voice.
Tourniquet - A good song but not one of my favourites and it just sounds okay, plus it doesn't mean that much to me.
I must be dreaming - Another song that gets too loud, but it's allright.
Even in death - I'd put this right below Imaginary, it's an awesome song.

So this is what I've narrowed it down to:

October
Imaginary
Even in death

I just downloaded Harry Potter 3 and me and my mom are going to watch it at 10 but she's watching TV right now and I have to phone Calum and read my Buddha book and medidate and listen to Evanescence in my room.

Happy late birthday Clay Aiken!! Yesterday he turned 26 but I remember only when I went to bed so I didn't have time.

December 8, 8/7c, NBC, Clay Aiken Christmas.

EEK Evanescence rocks. Sorry. I updated my Wouter site with the song choices for next week and pictures. www.xanga.com/Merrill1345.

Updated Wouter site with picture and HUGE review of tonight's show. And results. And stuff. www.xanga.com/Merrill1345

My nephew Gavin is sitting on my lap right now while we're listening to Evanescence "I must be dreaming".

But now I have to go do Math and French and I love Jonathan and Vote Wouter.

I'm on MSN sending someone Guy songs right now. I voted for him in their hottest Idol guy poll on Idolforums.com, and they said they liked Guy at World Idol and wanted to hear more, and I have probably have the most Guy Sebastian songs a Canadian fan could have along with videos, so I invited her to add me to MSN. So far I've sent the songs "Anthem of why" and "I wish" which are the best on his new album. I'm listening to "Wait" which is another amazing song. She said he sounds like Terrance Trent D'arby. Who now? Beh.

GUY WAS AT THE FINALE!! They were singing some freak slow version of "Waltzing Matilda" which was started off by Ricki-Lee and Angie Narayan, and then suddenly the judges stood up and clapped and then Guy walked out and I screamed and almost started crying because I was so surprised and happy because I love him so much.

Now we're talking about what a loser Jonatan Cerrada is and she said she's never heard Thierry so I'm sending her a song of him because he's amazing too. Now I'm saying that Courtney should have won Australian Idol 2 because he's amazing too!!!

Now I'm listening to the Kjartan Salvesen song she sent me "Trust fate" he's the winner of Noweigan Idol 2. He sounds like Millsy from AUI1. He's really really good, better than Kurt.

I am waiting for Mr.Worthy to phone me back. I got a bunch of new clothes from Martha today. Hannah and Gavin are here. I'm not randoming, seriously. Slananananananana...boosh. Sorry.

We had a party today in French class for no reason, and after like 30minutes of listening to ACDC, who I want to kill, I put on Kalan Porter's "Born to be wild" and then stupid Liam Kelley turned it off saying that Kalan was "butchering the song" and I was like "I'm gonna butcher you, you retard!". So then I put it back on afterwards. Kalan ROCKS, kay?

Clay Aiken is going to host his own Christmas Special show on December 8th, 8/7c on NBC. WATCH IT!! He just got over a cold and sinus infection from his "Joyful Noise Tour" where he plays with a 24-piece Orchestra and tries to sing over it, which means that he strained his voice and needed medicine from the doctor for it and had to cancel about 4 of his tour dates. Silly Clay.

Ruben Studdard is in the hospital with pneumonia, which was caused from exhaustion, which put him in the hospital in the first place. He's going to be in there all week, because they're not sure how serious his condition is. He should give performing a rest, it's been hurting him for a while. He also had to cancel some of his performances at local schools in Alabama. Hope he gets better soon!

I updated my Wouter site. With the theme and song choices for this week. And pictures. The person I'm talking to just said she'd add me as an affilate on the front page. And I'm going to do the same. Now I'm listening to Kurt Nilsen "Before you leave". He wrote this song about his girl. That's sweet.

I just remembered the time me and Jonathan were at the rock and I was trying to tell him that I liked him and I kept like smacking the rock because I couldn't say it and he started laughing and was just like "You get embarrassed so easily, it's just...fun!"

And then when I was talking to him on August 19th at Martha's house and it was when we were talking about what person he was to me and I said I didn't want to say just in case he thought I was stupid and he was like "Well, it could already be two ways...1) I already think you're the stupidest person in the world and nothing you say or do could make you any stupider or 2) I don't think you're stupid and never will think you're stupid no matter what you do" and I was like "Yeah, there's that" and he's like "Well, it's the first one." that is so sweet! Only 4 days till December eek!

And then there was last time I talked to him on August 21st at Martha's house where I was saying about how he didn't like me and he said he did and I was like "Oh yeah, that's why you kept staring at that chinese GOTH girl when we were out together!" and he's like "I was just teasing you!" and I was like "Oh SURE you were!!" but seriously he would not stop staring at her it was so annoying he was like "I've never seen a chinese goth before. She was rather...intriuging, wasn't she?" but I do believe he was just kidding, he wouldn't do that.

I just finished watching Guy's finale video of "Angel's brought me here" after he won and he was like crying and Marcia was like crying and there were inside fireworks raining down and confetti everywhere it was way better than this year's finale. EEEK GUY. Sorry.

Maria Haukaas Storeng is amazing! I just got a bunch of songs from her from Sandy, the new girl I'm talking to on MSN from Idolforums.com. Maria's from Norway Idol.

I'm going to the store now so I'll just end with this: I love Jonathan and BM!

Casey won. I accidentally went on MSN today at Sarah's house and my Australian news box popped up so I was like oh crap. But I'm happy. I didn't think she would. I'm still going to watch the finale, though.

I'm just listening to Evanescence and working on my medieval triangle. It's where you write abracadabra so one letter disappears with each succeeding line till there is nothing left, and the misfortune around you will disappear just like the word. To make misfortune go away forever you have to throw it in a river, but as a believer in Buddism I think that part of life is suffering, so people shouldn't try to rid themselves completely of it, so I'm just trying to keep it away from me most of the time.


Oh thank god blogger doesn't let you close your page without asking you if you really want to or not. My computer was just messing up so I went to close kazaa and accidentally clicked on this but it asked me if I realy wanted to so I clicked no and I was like oh thank god blogger doesn't let you close your page without asking you if you really want to or not.

My computer is really really screwing up so I think I should just post this and ahahahahaha Born is gone.

Australian Idol Top 2 show: (shut up, it was actually worth watching)

Anthony - "Listen to your heart" the new Idol single. He was pretty good. There were no judges comments tonight.

Casey - "Take me as I am" it was a pretty good message song. It was like I am who I am and if you don't like it, go stuff it. That's actually what Casey said in her intro. They showed a throughout-the-competition video thing for both of them. Casey looked so awesome at the auditions the judges were like what the hell is this.

Anthony - "Walking away" by Craig Davids. Grrr. This is one of my favourite songs, and as usual, Crystal has to go and add some stupid parts that weren't even there, for like half the song! Plus he was like dancing around on the stool and it seemed like he was going to fall off!

Casey - "Hello" by Evanescence. Oh. My God. Serious, honestly...like whoa. I almost cried. It was just...oh my god. So beautiful. The high notes were just...wow. I wrote an apology to her in my planner today in French. Like it was in French class, and the message was in french. It said this: JE REGRET QUEL JE PARLE, CASEY. TU EST STUPIFIANTE ES TRES UNIQUE. TA CHANSON "HELLO" EST MAGNIFIQUE ES TRES TOUCHANTE. JE PLEURE QUAND JE VOIT TA REPRESENTATION. Wow, that rocks doesn't it? My french owns. Shut up!

Anthony Callea - "Glory of love". LOVE this song! He was really good. But the same as usual. Anthony has one of those unique voices where he can sing anything, but he can't sing anything. I'll leave you to figure it out.

Casey Donovan - "Listen to your heart". She put more emotion in it than A did, and she was awesome.

In the middle of the show James spat half a gummy snake into Mark's cup while he was talking and they all went hysterical and Marty Worrall was clapping.

At the end of the show they played rock paper scissors to see who would sing first at the finale. For the first 5 times they kept putting the same thing and Anthony was like "We planned this before the show!" but then finally Casey beat him with scissors to paper. And then just before the show closed James was like "So Australia, who is it gonna be...Casey or Courtney?" and then Casey was like WTH and Andrew was whispering "ANTHONY" and then it showed Anthony's face and he looked like how could you confuse me with that loser?!

The whole top 12 was in the audience, except Angie. Marty and Courtney were sitting right behind Dicko like loners, and the rest of them were farther up. I spotted Amali right away because of her huge mouth while she was cheering. Ricki-Lee was harder to see because she dyed her hair dark brown. And then I finally saw Chanel with her Mickey-Mouse-On-A-Bad-Acid-Thank-You-Very-Much-Mark-Holden hairstyle. I could see Hails beside them because of her blond hair, and then Dan and Dan were in front of them.

I hope Casey wins. For good reason this time. Only 5 days till the results. I have to download the finale because everyone's gonna be there and Sarah's going to come over and we're going to have a party and watch it even though she doesn't care. She said she'll come if it's full-screen. Beh.

Updated Wouter site with song choice for this week and info about the main site videos. Updated yesterday with the results. www.xanga.com/Merrill1345

15 days. I'm listening to Wouter "Je Hoeft Niet Naar Huis Vannacht". Very loudly, too. Now Laura Ramaekers. She did awesome this week.

I was so bored in French class today because the class was playing some cheap game that I wasn't playing because it's cheap so this is what I wrote in my planner:

I love Courtney Murphy. Wouter de Clerck is hot. C'est un bunny day! Lalala bunny day. Go Casey Donovan. Ahaha Crystal. Shut it. Guy Sebastian eek. Mon nouveau guitare acoustique est Chanel Cole. Eek Johnny. Kalan est chaude. Stupid Usher. Diana D rocks. Randomness, much!

At the AMA's last night Usher won like every single award I hate him so much! He won the award that JOSH GROBAN should have got "Best male artist". Stupidhead. Kobe Bryant was booed. John Mayer's mic was messed. Anna Nicole Smith was drunk, and some woman tried to marry Clay and he was like get away freak.

That's all I have to say for today.

Updated Wouter site. www.xanga.com/Merrill1345. There's extra information and stuff that I got today. And pictures.


http://users.skynet.be/wouterdeclerck/Boekenbeurs/images/wouter2.jpg

EEEK so cute!

I got new pictures for my binders...two of Wouter, one of Courtney while he's sleeping, and one Ricki-Lee jumping on Courtney's back at the bowling alley.

18 days. Eeek.

November 11, 12:28am [Happy Birthday Kalan Porter :)]

So tired. But so in love with Johnny. Oh crap, I did NOT just say that. I'm at Sarah's house. I was so hyper earlier, we have like 3 videos of me singing songs about him. Mainly about how I need him and how grateful I am to be with him and about how we're meant to be together and how I can't live without him. Jeez Rebecca, obsess much? It's less than a month till he comes back, and I am freaking out. It's just that I've missed him so much and I'll have so much to say that I won't be able to say anything at all. Just to be around him again is going to be so wonderful, I just hope I don't cry. I only when I see Courtney or Guy, so that would mean a lotI just hope he hasn't changed that much, he's got one of the best personalities I've ever known, honestly. He's probably still got that undescribable effect on me where he looks at me and it's just so totally, oh my god. He knows he does it, but I'm not sure if he knows why it has such an impression on me. It's his eyes, I know it. They're just so caring and gorgeous and so easy to get lost in. If I look into them enough, everything else disappears and I can see everything he feels but isn't brave enough to say. He also has this way of making everything better by just saying something sweet. It's the way he says it, I can always tell he means it by the soft and gentle way he speaks it. I can't even begin to say how that makes me feel. If he were to get me lost in his eyes until I couldn't think properly, then whisper something so sweet that I couldn't help but take his hand, and then kiss me, I don't even know what that would do to me, I'm not even sure if I could handle that! He just has a way of brining out the emotion that I don't want anyone to know about, and then he understands exactly where they come from because he feels the same way.

----------------------------END OF REBECCA'S LOVE LIFE--------------------------

I wrote that last night. The videos are hillarious, I'll upload them when I can. I got like 3 emails today from people in Belgium who saw my Wouter site and want to know how someone in Canada knows him, and one of them is the person my mom met yesterday who knows about me but obviously didn't know that was me. So that's cool. I updated the site yesterday and am going to today, with his song choice for next week. And other stuff.

Yes, I know that entry above was retarded, but I was thinking about him all last night! I can't help it. It's 19 days till December. 19 days. That's so close. EEK Johnny. Sorry. I just stapled that note thing into my Johnny scrapbook.

I've been writing since 5 but I never posted. I'm dumb.

Australian Idol Top 3 Show: 70's night:

Courtney Murphy - "Somebody to love" by Queen. He was amazing, especially the last high note. HE GOT A TOUCHDOWN!! I was so happy I almost cried.

Casey Donovan - "You're so vain". It was way too overexaggerated, she looked so ulgy! But it was funny at the end when Andrew asked her who it was about she was like "Honestly Andrew...you." and then so he's like "So it's over?" and she like pretended to turn away and cry and was like "Yup!" Ugh, she got a touchdown too.

Anthony Callea - "Hold the line" by Toto. It was good. He's so short! Lol he's like 5'1. I always noticed but this week it seemed even more noticable. The judges thought it was okay.

Courtney Murphy - "My love" by Paul McCartney. He was really good, but the song was a little cheap. The chorus was like "bahbahbahbah" seriously, it wasn't even words. The judges liked it too.

Casey Donovan - "Misty Blue." She was really amazing in this, but of course the judges didn't like it. She was better than R&B night, and that's saying a lot. That is such a good song.

Anthony Callea - "Bridge over troubled water" by Simon & Garfunkle. He was so cheap. Like I thought maybe it would be as good as Clay's, but it was really boring. He got a touchdown for it though. They all got touchdowns! Stupid Mark. Lol Marcia held up a sign that said "Shut up Mark" it was hillarious, and I hate Marcia.

Results:

First in the finale....

Casehead.

Second in the finale...

Yup, you guessed it. Crystal.

I should have known, but for some reason I thought that Courtney had a chance of getting to the final two, but now I remember that Australia's stupid. They vote out the best people (RICKI-LEE).

Okay, so this is the final two: The girl who's stayed exactly the same from the beginning, doesn't listen to criticism, totally forgot the words and got Ricki-Lee kicked out, and doesn't even care enough about winning the competition that she would ever *gasp* CHANGE something about herself!! Like OH my GOD, what a thing to ask!

And then the guy who's always known that he's going to win so he knows he doesn't NEED to change anything about himself to win.

But the man who has the biggest music appreciation and knowledge out of all of them? The man who listened to criticism and tried to do everything he could to be better so he could have more of a chance of winning because it actually MATTERED to him? No, he doesn't deserve to win. I already posted this on IDF.

Apparently when it was down to Anthony and Courtney, Court looked really sad because obviously he knew.

I'm not recapping next week, I'm not. I'm not even going to watch it, I don't care. I actually hope Casey wins, I really do, because then Australia will have a crappy Idol who's career goes nowhere and maybe then they'll know what a mistake they made. Coming in third is good though, Cosima has her own recording company and has a best-selling album. Neither of these two could follow up to Guy, though, nobody could.

13 minute recap, sweet.

Check out my new Wouter site at www.xanga.com/Merrill1345. It rocks. I love Wouter. EEK!

Australian Idol Top 4: Big Band:

Anthony Callea - "Fever". I thought he was just okay, I couldn't pay that much attention because it was Halloween and I was getting ready to go out (the show only took 3 hours to download because I guess all the North Americans were busy) but the judges agreed with me.

Casey Donovan - "Why Don't You Do Right". She was just okay too, Ant was better. The judges liked her. Dicko said she needs to learn how to answer questions properly or else if she wins her CD will be called "You know" and he asked if they could make a deal about that and she's like "Meh..." and I was like what a loser she doesn't care what they say about her! And Dicko's like "No, I'm serious, this is a big issue that we NEED to sort out" so finally she agreed. She doesn't even want to win, she won't even change the slightest thing about herself, people aren't doing her a favour by voting for her anymore.

Hayley Jensen - "It had to be you". She sang it for her husband Tim who was in the audience. She was good, Jason was better, but still. The judges thought she was allright too.

Courtney Murphy - "For once in my life". I don't know how this got from a Motown song to a Big Band song, but whatever. Just like the others, he was just okay. That's an awesome song, but I prefer it in Motown.

Anthony Callea - "Route 66". This was AMAZING. Like seriously, whoa Crystal! He was one of the best in the second round. The judges loved it too.

Casey Donovan -"Come Fly With Me". She was absolutely horrible in this one. I didn't even remember what she sang because it was so horrific. Just...ugh.

Hayley Jensen - "Nature Boy". Seriously. Kalan's best song. Hayley was...interesting...with it. It was very good, but just very strange to watch. Mark said something about each line being the same with her or something, I don't know.

Courtney Murphy - "Don't get around much anymore". EEEK! He really brought it back in the second round, he was so my Courtney! HE GOT A TOUCHDOWN!!! His first ever from Mark!!! We were so happy! Me and Courtney, that is. And the best thing is: Casey didn't get one.

Results show:

Bottom 2:

Hayley
Casey

Out:

Hayley

Stupid Case-head. Ha she was in the bottom 2 AGAIN. Courtney was safe! I didn't read my mom's note till after school on Monday and it made no sense because it said Anthony and Courtney....NOT bottom 2 and then Hails and Case-head so I was like WHAT! And then it said out and a part of it was folded over and Hails' name was on the other side of the fold but I couldn't find it and then when I did I was like DAMN IT!! And I was like "Stupid Australian Idol..."

Sorry my recap took so long to get up, but on Monday I was with Allard, Tuesday I was with Allard, Wednesday I was at work from 9-5 boxing bread crumbs and cleaning windows (don't ask) Thursday I was with Allard, and Friday and Saturday I was filming "La revenge du la phantom lapin" (don't ask, I was the bunny). So in other words, today was really the only day I could do it.

So anway, here's what they sang last night, but the show's not up for downloading yet:

Casey - You're so vain (as much as I hate her, this might be a good song for her)
Misty Blue (beh, whatever that is)

Anthony - Hold the line (might know)
Bridge Over Troubled Water (don't know WHAT he's thinking, that was practically Clay's winning song from AI2, he'll be killed)

Courtney - My love (beh?)
Somebody to love (Ahahaha the ogre song from Ella Enchanted)

So I'll put the recap up as soon as I see the show. And BTW (no, not Crystal) only 23 days till my baby comes back! I'm talking about Jonathan, duh. I have to phone his grandparents at the beginning of December because I have no phone so he won't be able to phone me when he comes back. Like I have a phone, but people can't phone it. Because it's Teresa and Trevor's. But if it's important (which obviously this is) then I can give it to people, so I guess that's what I'll do. I still have about 3 weeks to decide though, I don't need to phone them like RIGHT on December 1st, probably like the 5th or something. But EEEEK it's so close to him being home! I really have missed him so much. But no, Johnny's my boyfriend and that's all there is to it.

I'm drinking a mixture of Coke and Dr.Buzz and it actually tastes really good. Crap. My cat just threw up on the floor so I had to spend forever cleaning it up. Okay, I'm good now. I'm listening to KIL "Rock slide". KIL is Kovered in Lies, Billy Klippert's old band. I miss them. Stupid Billy. I was listening to his CD the other day, it's my favourite. When my discman worked I used to listen to it every day, like 3 times a day. I need to fix my discman.

Oh, more Idol news, I found a list of all the AI4 top 100 contestants that returned from last year and the only people that we know are:

Bao Viet Nguyen (my mom's favourite from last year)
Cassie LeBeau (she was stupid Kelly Clarkson girl from texas, I think she messed up in the "You can't hurry love" group songs, I remember her trying to ad-lib and failing)

I'm mad because Michael Keown and Nicole Tieri aren't there. I don't know if Nicole auditioned again, but I know for sure that Michael at least auditioned, he promised last year that he would come back, and he's not the type of person who wouldn't.

I'm going shopping with Stephanie and Sarah at 1:30 today at Mayfair. I don't know WHY I do, all they do is look at clothes and not video games like me and Johnny! I love Mayfair though, it's where I met Johnny the first and second time. Especially the SECOND time, whoa. That like, killed me. I honestly could not believe that it had happened, I kept looking at my phone number written on my hand (written by him, of course EEEK) like all day, just to make sure it wasn't fake. It's still hard to believe, actually. Like seriously, how. That's so messed. Well actually, most people would prefer to call it fate, but fate is messed, so.

I just finished listening to the main song by KIL "Kovered in lies". It's the most awesome song ever, but you have to be careful which version you listen to, some people might be offended! I have like 5 different ones, I never remember which one is which, but this one just now was the bad one! Oh well, I'm by myself. Ooh yay, I've had 10 visits to my site today! Hopefully I'll get more after this! Honestly, I have people going into the archives, I have no idea what they're looking for, probably AI or CI or AUI stuff.

EEEK I LOVE WOUTER DE CLERCK!! Sorry. Belgium Idol 2. It's in the top 6 or something. He rocks he's so cute and I love him! He's 21 but he looks like he's like 16!! They're having a show tonight actually, I need to get it! They sometimes sing in English, but sometimes in Belgian, or Belsh, as I like to call it.

Okay, I should go now. Stupid IDF isn't working. I love Johnny. EEK Wouter. Vote Courtney.

Australian Idol: Top 5: R&B night:

Chanel Cole - "Hit 'em up style" by Blu Cantrell. I actually DO know this song very well, it's been around since the 90's. She was my favourite of the night, her hair was really funky, sort of like it was on Beatles night, and she looked good too. None of the judges liked her except for Marcia.

Anthony Callea - "Back at one" by Brian McKnight. He added runs at the beginning which weren't there, and his high note was Gary Beal's "Unchained Melody". In other words, there WAS no high note, he held the low note his way out of it, which to me is cheating. He was really good though, and all the judges loved him. Dicko said that the Gay Community would be supporting him and we were all like WHAT because Anthony has already said that he's not gay and he has a girlfriend, and then they all laughed.

Casey Donovan - "Beautiful" by India Arie. This was the only song that I didn't know. I actually wanted to listen to her this time, so I didn't look at her, I stared at the floor, because that's the only way I can just hear her, and she did pretty good, but when you look at her it just turns you right off the song. She got a touchdown from Mark.

Courtney Murphy - "What a fool believes" by The Doobie Brothers. I actually DO know this song really well too, I hear it all the time! He had a really hard time with his falsetto, which Mark nailed him for, but the verses were great. It was just that the entire chorus was high and he's not used to that, plus I can tell he has a cold even though he totally denied it when Mark asked him. He acts so sad when they don't like him, he seems to think that means Australia won't vote for him. He's made me cry the past two weeks, especially last week with Oh Sherry, and only Guy can make me cry, I never thought anyone else would but I LOVE COURTNEY!

Hayley Jensen - "Ain't no mountain high enough" by Michael McDonald. Hate. This. Song. She was actually the worst of the night, not just because I hate this song but because there were times where she went so flat she was actually talking. She looked like she was having fun and she seemed happy with her performance, so that's good. Mark pretended to like her by saying "You did the best you could do" because he's insulted her so much he doesn't see the point in it anymore, he's obviously never going to like her.

They all got to go for Rolling Stone Magazine photoshoots. Chanel's was the best, Casey looked sickening, Courtney's was funny, Hayley didn't like it, and Anthony is hot.

Results show:

Hilary Duff performed there. Someone should have told her a bit about the show beforehand, because when they asked her she thought that last years winner was a guy named Sebastian. Seriously. I love Hilary, but ugh.

Bottom 3:

Chanel
Hayley
COURTNEY

Back first:

Hayley

Out:

Chanel.

That. Was. Way. Too. Close. GET OUT OF THE BOTTOM 2 COURTNEY!! I'm so sad Chanel is gone, but how could Courts be there! When Chanel's name got called she was all like "WHAT?! I DEMAND a recount!" so that was funny, she took it well.

So the top 4 is: Hayley Jensen, Anthony Callea, Casey Donovan, and Courtney Murphy. Beh.

Next week's theme is Big Band/Swing, and I'll find out what they're singing later this week.

I have math to do, so I'm going to go now. I just thought I'd get this done with. Wow, it only took 18 minutes.

PS: Ashlee Simpson was caught lip-syncing on Saturday Nigh Live, when they played the wrong music and it had her voice in it. She didn't know what to do, she just danced around like a retard and then walked awkwardly off stage. Sucker.

My internet was down for a week so I couldn't get the last two recaps up, here's the one of Beatles Night:

http://au.australianidol.yahoo.com/recaps/sunday_oct_10.html

http://au.australianidol.yahoo.com/recaps/monday_oct_18.html

Australia seems to be on a stupid run. First RICKI-LEE, which I still can't get over, last monday I watched the results show from Beatles night and I started crying because it actually hit me that she was gone.

NOW MARTY?! Ugh. Now I no longer have my three amigos, which were my 3 favourites from the very beginning: Courtney, Marty, and Hails. Now Chanel has moved up into Marty's spot.

I only just watched the 80's show yesterday, and my favourites were by a MILLION miles COURTNEY!!! And Anthony. I love Courtney so much, he's actually starting to make me cry, and only GUY can do that. Anthony was really amazing too. Chanel was good, Hayley was good, and shut up Casey I hate you you got Marty got kicked off and haha you were in the bottom two so stop trying to act nice because everyone hates you already. Pig.

Next week is R&B Night, and here are the song choices:

Hails: Ain't no mountain high enough, by Michael McDonald. UGH. I HATE THIS SONG!! I honestly think she's going to get kicked off for this, even though the show's not till tomorrow, this is the worst song ever. AND I HATE MICHAEL MCDONALD.

Casuck: Beautiful, by India Aries. Haven't heard it, don't want to either.

Channy: Hit em up, by Blu Cantrell. I haven't hear this, but apparently she's jazzing it up a bit.

Anthony: Back at one, by Brian McKnight. Lol. Sorry. It's just funny, I love this song, and it's been done so much, but he should do good with it.

Courtney: What a fool believes, by the Doobie Brothers. Beh.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK GUY HAS A NEW ALBUM OUT!!! It's called "Beautiful life". I haven't been able to get any of the full versions of the songs except for "Out with my baby" which I still can't believe he did such a horrible video for, but the song is awesome. You can hear samples from the other songs here:

http://music.ninemsn.com.au/artistfeature/default.aspx?aid=52

That's what I'm doing right now. My favourite songs are:

Wait
Anthem of why
How
Make heaven wait
Fiend for you (yes, I spelled that right)
Oh oh

Anthem of why is the sweetest song ever. For a little while, Guy was trying to become some rapper freak which is why he did that degoutant video of Out with my Baby, but the songs that I just mentioned totally bring him back to who he is, even if he does have a song featuring "Rahaan" on the title track of the album. I'm looking for full versions of songs on Kazaa but I can't find any, maybe because his album only came out two days ago. In his song "Story of a single man" he sings about this girl called Emily. She better be made up I was like beh who's Emily.

Shannon Noll visited the Idol Mansion this week as their suprise guest. Okay so first Guy, now Shanny, who next, Cossie? That would be awesome, I love her. Now I'm listening to "Oh oh". I love this song. My mom wants to get this weeks edition of Inside Idol, because she wants to see Shannon because she loves him so much. But first we have to get last weeks Inside because I want to see Ricki-Lee. I had a Science test last month and I had to remember the word Incisors so whenever I forgot it I just thought of Inside Idol, hahaha!!!!!!11111oneone lyke omg. Lol sorry, people on TWOP do that all the time to make fun of the bad spellers on message boards, and I hate bad spellers, so it's funny. But that seriously is a really good memory hook.

EEEEEEK I FOUND SOME SONGS!! Well I haven't downloaded them, but they have full versions of How, Fiend For You, and Oh Oh on Kazaa!! And they're all remotely queued, typical.

I have 3 names. My real name, Rebecca, my french name, Monique, and my science name, Ricki-Lee Coutler. In French class we all chose french names so that was mine, and in science there's another Rebecca so I just changed so Ricki-Lee. The guys get so annoying they always call me Ricki because they think it's only a guy's name but then I ignore them till they call me Ricki-Lee. It's awesome being Ricki-Lee. We got to dissect a pig's heart yesterday, me and Steph had so much fun, except when I had to clean the tray under the sink and I accidentally got pig blood on my face. We had the best heart out of all of them, ours was cut so perfectly, that's because all the other guys were just stabbing theirs and my and Steph were the only girls cutting because all the other ones were losers and crying so Ms. Shuck yelled at them!

Now my loser brother wants to do something so I have to make sure he doesn't close Kazaa because I love Guy.

Oh, and PS if ya'll are wondering why I'm not at school it's because there is none today.

Song choices for Beatles week:

Hayley: Yesterday. Carlos sang that in the top 32, he was the guy who sounded like Guy and didn't make it and was a wildcard but blew it by singing "Senorita" by Justin Timberlake.

Chanel: Across the universe.

Anthony: When I saw her standing there

CAsuck: Eleanor Rigby

Ricki-Lee: We can work it out. She's singing a hip-hop version of it.

Courtney: Got to get you into my life

Marty: Oh darling. He's having a bit of voice troubles, strains have come in a bit but he's allright when he sits down. The false is hurting him a bit. I hope he recovers by tonight's show.

The show is on in 3 hours there, so I'll post it tomorrow when I have it. All the shows and extra shows can be downloaded from www.suprnova.org, just go to Search and type in Australian Idol and click TV shows, and then left click the most recent one, the same with Inside Idol. For the performance shows it usually takes about 10 hours, depending on how fast it's going, the most it can take is 12, and the results shows and Inside Idols usually take about 5, I downloaded an Inside Idol today and it was going amazing fast so it only took 3 and a half. Good luck with that!

Australian Idol Week 5: Contestants Choice:

Ricki-Lee Coulter: "I have nothing" by Whitney Houston. She was one of the best of the night, at first I thought it was a little boring when then when she got into the second chorus she picked it up and she got an up yodel in the end which was totally amazing. She looked great too, her dress was really nice. The judges loved her, Dicko said the show is basically about her, and everyone says she's going to win. I wouldn't mind that.

Marty Worrall: "Broken wings" by Mr.Mister. I know this song really well, he did a good version of it, but it wasn't amazing. Dicko didn't like it.

Hayley Jensen - "Release" by George, a girl rock band. She was my favourite of the night along with Ricki. It's such an amazing song, she built up to this uber note in the middle that was so awesome, the judges loved her too. She always sings these girl rock songs, she's got good taste like that and she's 21. She's married, by the way, her husband Tim is really nice, I saw him on Inside Idol.

Daniel Belle - "Your song" by Elton John. He totally messed with the arrangement and added bits that never were in the song and he was way too loud. I was actually starting to like him because I got to know him a little bit from Inside Idol just like Emelia and like her Daniel wasn't good but he was funny. But seriously, he was trying to show off too much. The judges didn't like him. Mark said he was just lazy with his paraphrasing and he didn't even try and stuff.

Chanel Cole - "Constant Craving" by k.d. Lang. It's so weird, they all sing songs that I know so well! I love this song too. Chanel started it a little slower than it is, but she was awesome, she yodells up really well and down too, this is my second favourite performance of hers, the other one was "Walk on by".

Courtney Murphy - "God only knows" by the Beach Boys. I know this song really well too, except I always hear a girl's version of it, and Courtney's version was a bit faster but he did really good, he has such a soulful and meaningful powerful voice, I love him so much. Dicko said he's been cruising lately and he doesn't think he's trying hard enough.

Casey Donovan: "Special ones" by George. Yup, typical, steal the band Hayley's singing, copy much! And she even had one with a high note in it too, just like Hayley. Hayley's high note was way better though because she worked up to it starting low and going up high until she hit it, Casuck just went from like "You never get through to MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" and it was so horrible. Hayley's song was better too, even the judges knew it!

Anthony Callea - "The prayer" by Celine Dion and Andrae Bocelli. Beh it's all in Italian! Well, most of it anyway. He was really amazing too, he's got such a powerful voice which my mom said she just noticed but I knew it all along!!! I was always a Callean except when he sang "The reason" because he doesn't have the right type of voice for that but whatever. He gets a little annoying when he does freak faces and flicks his eyebrows up really fast which my mom said I do when I'm singing but I so do not. The judges loved him everyone was crying and standing up.

Bottom 3:

Hayley
Chanel
Daniel

First back: Hayley

Out: Daniel. That sucks for Chanel because they were planning to get married on November 22nd, but me and my mom were happy. Well she was happy, I don't really know what to think. Like on one hand he sucked was so annoying when he sang because he tried to be all opera Shane Wiebe and it SO wasn't working for him but then on the other he was so funny and he jumped on Courtney's bed and made him swear at him.

The next week is Beatles. I'll probably know some of the songs that they sing, I love the Beatles, but I hate John Lennon's song "Imagine" except for J.Hud's version, that rocks because she does. Okay then. I'll be back sometime this weekend to say what they're singing, which they'll show on Inside Idol which I might download today and it's Thanksgiving so there's no school on Monday so I might be back here sometime to say what happened on the show and if I'm not there on Monday then it'll be later next week because I have homework and friends and Nick Gait and stuff. Whoops.

I'm totally bored. Okay well I'm not, but whatever. I barely ever write about anything anymore, because Australian Idol is only once a week and I have nothing...else...to write about it. I'm at home by myself listening to Melanie C's second self-titled CD that came out in June 2003. I have both of her solo CD's, she was my favourite from the Spice Girls and still is. It's at her song "Lose myself in you". I like being at home by myself, especially at night, then I can do whatever. There's nobody good on MSN, so I'm just talking to people who I only talk to when I'm bored.

I'm thinking about Jonathan right now. It's only about 75 days till I can start to think about him coming back. Well I think about him coming back all the time, but you know, till he actually DOES come back. YES SANDY'S ON!!

So anyways, I really do miss Jonathan. A lot of people think it gets easier as time goes by, but it seriously doesn't. And people don't really seem to understand how hard it is. I always go through my website archives to read what he's said, and I do think about him all the time. But I do make the best out of the situation though, I mean at least he's coming back soon and the days are going by really fast because I'm really busy with school and musical theatre and band and recording songs and watching Australian Idol and homework and stuff, so it's all good. There have been times recently that I've said to myself that I'm not going to make it, but I think that if I really try then I can. I'm keeping a scrapbook of all the things that I've written about him and things that I've made since he left, so I work on that when I can and I'm going to give that to him when he comes back, and I also keep a diary of the more personal things that I've written, and that's for him too.

I'm really tired so I'm going to go to bed now, but I'll just post some of the songs for this Sunday's Australian Idol show (Contestants choice) that I got from Inside Idol:

Marty: "Fly" by I think Shawn Smith or someone, it definitely is a song I know but I'm not sure if it's the same one.

Chanel - "Constant Craving" by Annie Lenox. I love this song. Channy's really mad that there won't be any BV's (background vocals) this week, so's Courtney, because it really helps with the song.

Courtney: Something by the Beach Boys that I know really well but I've heard this girl version of it but I love it and I think he'll do really well when he sings it, I think it's called "Without you".

Anthony - "The prayer" by Celine Dion and this Italian guy. I'm pretty sure I've heard it before, Anthony's singing it to show his Italian heritage, it has a lot of Italian in it.

Ricki: "I have nothing" by Whitney Houston. I. LOVE. This song. SO much. I love Whitney Houston, and Jennifer Hudson did SUCH a good version of this, I'm sure Ricki will do too, I'm really glad she's singing this.

As for Daniel and Hayley, I'm not sure because I couldn't recognize the tune while they were practicing and they don't actually tell you the name of it, you just hear it while they rehearse. Hayley's has something with the word "Ready" in it a lot, and as for Daniel, I can't remember at all.

I don't give about Casey. She's such a loser, when the other Idols were at the Piano writing a song about each other, she wasn't even there, and Chanel even wrote a verse about her! She doesn't like any of them, and she never hangs out with them during group hangouts or anything, she's such a loner and I hate her.

Courtney really misses his girlfriend, he spent like an hour and a half on the phone with her this week, sometimes not even saying anything, he was just really happy to have her on the line. That is so sweet, honestly, and he doesn't have any other family to turn to, that's so sad. I feel like I can totally relate to Courtney, I love him so much.

I miss Emelia. She was so nice.

Edit: Daniel's singing "Your song". I thought that's what it was, but I wasn't sure and I didn't want to say because that's such a big song and in case I was wrong then people would be mad.

I don't have time for my own recap today because I have a TON of homework and I just got home from Musical Theatre and going to the store for 2 hours so I'll just give you the links for the official ones:

PS: Go Marty and I'm sad at the results because she swore a lot and she was funny in the bowling alley.

Australian Idol Week 3: 60's night:

Marty Worrall: "Satisfaction" by The Stones. He was good, the judges hated him though. I like Kalan's version better, but that's agiven.

Hayley Jensen: "To sir with love". She was really cool, that's a nice song and she got some good yodelling in there. The judges didn't like her either.

Courtney Murphy: "Spinning Wheel" by Blood Sweat Tears. I love this song. Lol Ted Senecal on Group 4 results show in that cheap bar thing. Sorry. I love Courtney! He was really good and he was dancing retardedly and the judges all like him except then Dicko started talking about his weight and about how the magazines would rip him apart about it and about how everyone who doesn't really know Courtney calls him the fat guy and if he was okay with it, and Court says he didn't give a flying ------ what people say because he's happy with himself.. But then they mentioned Rick Day or May or something and they said about how he was overweight and he was one of the greatest singers of all time, and then Mark goes "But it killed him. So we're not concerned about your image, it's your health". That's so sad, they think he's going to die or something! Courtney isn't even that big. No one ever said that to RUBEN on the show or BRANDY and they are SO much bigger! And even Casey's bigger, and no one says anything to her. No, but I'm really worried now, do they know something about Courtney that we don't? Like is he sick or something? Why would they say something like that out of nowhere? And it's not like he can't breathe when he's singing or something! Look, here's a picture:

http://au.i1.yimg.com/australianidol.aunz.yimg.com/2004/photos/ep13/ep13_7.jpg

See, he's not that fat at all! Shut up, judges!

Casey Donovan: "Somebody to love". Ugh, she's so ugly. She's not even that good. Her hair is disgusting. I'm not sure what the judges thought because I turned it off so I wouldn't have to look at her anymore, it hurts. Seriously, look:

http://au.i1.yimg.com/australianidol.aunz.yimg.com/2004/photos/ep13/ep13_11.jpg

Gross.

Amali Ward: "Say a little prayer" by Dionne Warwick. As much as I don't care about Amali, it was really bad. I could hardly even recognize what song she was singing. The judges didn't like it either.

Emelia: "Anyone who had a heart". Kim Locke's version was a lot better, but Emelia's growing on me a little. The judges liked it.

Anthony Callea: "Gimme some lovin'". He was always my fourth favourite, but I was watching some videos of him today that my mom must've gotten (major good quality, much?) and he is just SO hot, I guess I didn't know that before because the videos on the site aren't that great and they're only like 30 seconds, but his video of "Ignition" is really awesome, even though I hate that song. He's like this years Millsy, only better and hotter.

Daniel Belle: "He ain't heavy, he's my brother". Ugh. This kid has a major problem. He only got into the top 10 by yelling at Dicko, and now he's trying to be all Shane Wiebe and it is SO not working. Plus you can't sing that song, it's Ryan Malcolm's.

Ricki-Lee Coulter - "Proud mary" by Tina Turner. Love her. When the judges were fighting in the first week she's like "Children, children!!" and yesterday she called Dicko "boyfriend" and she was making of Mark. LOVE her. She's my second girl favourite to Hayley. She's sort of like Cossie from last year, as I may have mentioned.

Chanel Cole: "Walk on by" by Dionne Warwick. Jeez guys, do enough Dionne Warwick much? I like this song. Kelly sang it in Season 1 of AI, but Chanel did it better of course. It was also a little more normal than most of the stuff she's done. She's sort of like the girl version of Jacob, and that gets a little annoying sometimes, as I'm sure everyone knows.

Bottom 3:

Marty

Amali

First back to the couches:
Marty

Out: Amali

I was really happy when I found out, my mom wrote me a note last night when she found out, so I could read it on the way to school like I did last year, and when I picked it up on my way out today I accidentally looked at it and I saw the name Marty in big letters so I was like OH CRAP but then when I got to the bus stop I read the whole thing and she kept writing on different sides of the paper it was retarded! That scared me though, Hayley coming that close. I would have preferred Casey to go, but at least we got one cheap person out of the way.

I'll be back next Monday for performance and results. They have the songs on Sunday and results on Monday in Australia but I don't get the songs usually till Monday when I find out the results or late the night before, so.
