NZ Idol Blog - for the fans

Just letting you all know about a new blog that's been set up for NZ Idol. Lots of stuff will be added as the competition nears, so check it out and if you're keen to write your thoughts up on the show, let them know :)

http://www.nz-idol.com ]

Forums: NZ Music,

Or you could just join the cool kids in the livejournal community.

If the NZ Idol Blog is "for the fans", then the NZ Idol LiveJournal community is for people who find themselves reluctantly sucked into the Idol phenomenon, unwilling victims of the mighty Idol, but who eventually find themselves lovin' it and just can't get it out of their heads.

Well, that's my plan for it.

Stop giving yourself airs, robyn, you know you're as much of a victim as the rest of us!

Oh, for sure. I don't mean to separate myself at all from the Idollers. I <3 teh Idol.

everyone in new zealand seems to know someone who's entering. how many people are there going to be?! madness...

//everyone in new zealand seems to know someone who's entering

not everyone, i have no idea who is or who aint, but again i dont follow this B/S sho i wouldnt really care myself.

....although you ARE in this forum, so I guess you care a little, tough guy.

Yes, if Luci really didn't care about NZ Idol, I doubt he would have even bothered to read this topic, let alone post a reply. I think NZ Idol is Luci's new hobby as something he can publicly obsess over disliking.

I bet you he's actually auditioning too. First person to spot him on telly gets a prize!

I win! He was representing Belgium at World Idol, right?

the belgian dude at wold idol is the best dude there. Maube its because hes teh only one who sings good music (slight bias towards rock/grunge/metal here). hehe, that polish jusge cracks me up cos he has no idea wot hes on about. i dont no y i watch that show anyway.

Apparently in excess of 28,000 applications through NZ Idol mailbox.....

When do they announce who is going to be the judges?

I think it will be announced some time after 5 January (when everyone's back from holidays), and before 13 January (when the first audition takes place).

whos the inside word for who the judges will be?

The judges are rumoured to be Ray Columbus, Fiona McDonald and Paul Ellis.

Hey there everybody. The NZ Idol judges have been named (ahh..the benefits of working in radio!) and they are: (drum roll please......)
Fiona McDonald (Headless Chickens/Straw People)
Paul Ellis - no not the guy from Shortland Street/Celeb Treasure Island, but the big recording dude
and Frankie Stevens.
Good selection I reckon.

man that was on the news last night and on this website about 2 weeks ago. (ahh the benifits of nzm.com)

Suckers!!!
Hope my friend wins...Go 'W'

Paul Ellis???
What does he know about music?? Nout.
I think Ray Columbus was an obvious choice.
Fiona Mac Donald is a good choice
The third?......

I always think that too before I remind myself that Paul Ellis as well as being the guy who played Fergus on SS and who was on Celebrity Island is also a seperate person who was with Sony Music for a long long time.

//Paul Ellis??? What does he know about music?? Nout.

Paul Ellis is the former vice-president of Sony Music Publishing.

He is not the actor who played Fergus on "Shortland Street".

Snap!

Snap my ass! I beat you by a full two minutes. I am snapping at your heels as the Queen of Idol knowledge, Robyn. Sleep with one eye open.

OMG! Idol showdown!

Obviously I'm Reuben to your Clay, but I refuse to be the Shannon to your Guy. Can I be the weird Jordanian chick to your Poland?

Ok, but only if Lucifer Sam agrees to be the Polish judge.

wtf??Nz idol is the same as every idol in teh world that wasnt the UK idol, a cheap rip off which is only there to amke fun of useless people and to make money. i dont see any money coming my way , so im not really suporting it

Lets laugh at the ugly ones, the fat ones and ones who can't sing!!! MA ha ha ha

You're lucky bruce
