Reality Ravings

I thought I had not done much that was festive on Reality Ravings. So I found footage of Season Five's Australian Idol runner up Matt Corby playing at a Christian festival at Easter this year.

I love the haircut. Someone must have videoed it on their phone so keep the volume down as there are a lot of screaming girls.

So You Think You Can Dance Gossip and this is getting into the banal - Jack nearly arrested in New York.
In TV Week Jack reveals he was busting to go to the toilet when he was on the Subway.

"I got off at the next stop to find a bathroom, and after I found one, I started walking around, not really knowing where I was.

"Suddenly, this van drove up on the footpath and almost hit me! These cops jumped out and arrested two guys, who were standing next to me, for dealing drugs. They asked me, if I was part of it and I said no and took off!"

The other riveting piece of information in TV Week was that Henry used to be teased when he was young for dancing.

Todd McKenny is a lush.
Todd McKenny a judge on Dancing with the Stars was found guilty for drink driving and was banned from driving until July. The full details are here. What I found interesting that he only copped such a small penalty when he was already on a good behaviour licence. Methinks if he wasn't a celeb a much harsher penalty would have been given out.

Guy Sebastian reveals Matt Corby to be his Wedding Singer.
Those who pray together, sing together. Guy Sebastian has revealed Matt Corby will be his wedding singer at his May wedding. They apparently met last year and became friends when Matt was in Australian Idol. Full story here.

Australia's Next Top Model winner Alice Burdeau shows there is careers after reality tv.
Today it was revealed she will be heading to London to shoot an ad campaign for Dolce and Gabbana. This campaign will be shot by uber famous photographer Mario Testino. This is on top of modelling for New York fashion week. I don't think we will be seeing her home anytime soon.

Full story here.

Jessica Mauboy has auditioned for a musical.

Website TV Tonight is a font of information today saying Jessica Mauboy has auditioned for a lead role in the Aboriginal musical film, Bran Nue Dae.

Good luck Jessica maybe she will have a career outside of the Young Divas.

I was looking for some concert reviews of Matt Corby and Natalie Gauci's concerts.

I found one on a fan site http://forums.nataliegaucimusic.com/index.php?showtopic=520

Which gives the big thumbs up to Natalie.

I will keep on searching for more.

In a little article from the Brisbane's Courier Mail, it states that Australian Idol runner up, Matt Corby, has been talking up his music independence to a Melbourne music writer. He was gloating about how he rejected an offer from Sony BMG and was in fact his own man!

I thought he had signed with Sony BMG a few weeks ago. Which is what the article states and that he is expected to release an album later this year.

This guy has such an over inflated ego - why do all the teeny boppers love him so?

Article here.

It would appear from a report in the today's Daily Telegraph that Matt Corby has not as yet signed with Sony BMG.

The newspaper report said:

But a SonyBMG spokesman said it was decided not to rush Corby into the
Australian music industry.
"We have an arrangement with Matt that will give
him plenty of space to develop and find his own thing.
"Looking at a record
is way down the track. He will take his time and we will have another meeting
when he is ready to show us what he's got," the spokesman said.

Maybe they want to see what his music is like before they sign him. But what happens now - if he wants to can he sign with another label or have Sony BMG optioned him?

Or maybe Sony BMG want to see what his songs are like before stumping up the cash. Apparently Matt's songs are more roots, and rock based rather then pop based.

Matt Corby, Australian Idol runner up will be signing with Sony BMG this Tuesday.

Apparently Corby had been in talks with other record companies but eventually settled on signing with Sony BMG as they have agreed to give him artistic freedom.

I had always thought the Idol contracts stated that Sony BMG had first choice of the top 12, then other companies are free to negotiate with them.

Maybe those clauses were unenforceable.

If you are wondering what to get for a Natalie Gauci and Matt Corby fan for xmas a DVD will be released on the 17 December called The Final 2.

The blurb states "The DVD will feature all of the best performances from the show by the final 2 contenders of the 2007 series - Natalie Gauci and Matt Corby!"

So I doubt the infamous rock night performances will be on there. The Idol franchise is looking to squeeze as much money as possible from this poor year of Australian Idol, and must think by having Matt Corby on the DVD as well will boost sales.

Here is the link to the live blog Natalie Gauci did the other day on the Daily Tele website/

Nothing salacious or revelatory on it, unless you are interested about the fact she used to have a dog who pissed on her couch.

In other news in todays paper, it said the Idol's North Qld gigs had been cancelled due to give Natalie and Matt Corby a rest! Is this code for poor ticket sales? As I have said previously in a pre-christmas, high interest rate environment, the ticket price seemed a bit high.

If you want more information on the cancelled concerts here is the link

Natalie Gauci this years winner of Australian Idol has hit another first since being the first winner who was a 'judges' choice to take out the title. She is now the first Idol's winner whose single has NOT gone to number 1.

This maybe because not as many people this year are watching the show therefore not as many will buy the single.

Or as the Daily Telegraph hypothesises that it may be due to the fact that the Idol's especially Matt Corby dissed the song.

Natalie gets to do the "The Winners Journey" tour around Australia over January and February as one of the prizes/obligations of being this years Australian Idol.

A list of the gigs are here For Sydney fans Matt Corby will be also be playing at the two Sydney gigs on the 4 and 5 of January at the Star City Casino.

Just an aside - Natalie may be pleased that she achieved some international blogging attention, however it was for all the wrong reasons. She made it onto the very popular and addictive Go Fug Yourself.

This season's winner of Dancing With The Stars, Bridie Carter, decided Channel 7 is going to be her new home, after burning bridges with Channel 9 with bitchy comments about McLeod's Daughters the show she starred on for five years.

She said:
The dancing diva yesterday launched a stinging attack on McLeod's Daughters - saying she "wasn't at all surprised" by the recent axing of the outback drama series which catapulted her to national fame.
Despite her status as one of McLeod's longest serving members, Carter trod all over cast and crew on the eve of the series demise, saying she won't even watch it. "I would look at it and think 'Who are these people in my loungeroom?", said Carter.

Not knowing when to shut up she continued with:
"I don't want to mar McLeod's, but not everything was as it appears. I find it strange that not one of the original cast members is left.
"Perhaps they should have tried harder to keep people. Blue Heelers lasted 11 years and there were people on it for the whole series."

Channel 9 and McLeod's Daughters were not going to take this lying down when they responded:
"Bridie is completely up herself and everyone was thrilled to see the back of her when she left the show," a source close to the McLeod's production team told Confidential.
"But I can't believe she's bagging the program that made her famous - there's no way she would have even been on Dancing without it."
"Good luck to her, she's an absolute nightmare."

Should we lock Bridie and Matt Corby in a room together until their ego's deflate?

In an interview with Holly Byrne Matt Corby still appeared to be sensitive of his treatment by Mark Holden.

In summary Matt Corby said:

"He wrecked a few peoples careers. Look at Tarasai. (The comments) were
hard to swallow."
Being told, when you're 17, that you're a spoilt brat, well, it isn't nice
to hear that,'' Corby told Confidential. "I don't know what I did to hit such a
bad chord with him,'' he added, "but I shook his hand. Now I don't really
care.''

He also made further comments about the winners single:
Corby revealed he'd actually come to terms with the winners' track, which
many said didn't suit him and spoilt his chances. "I wrote a better version
of it but it was too late to lay it down. If I had three more days, it would have worked," he said.

This kid really needs to learn some modesty. He makes it seem he a just 17 year old boy had to polish up a song that highly professional songwriters had written.

I am looking forward to hearing some of Matt's original stuff. Will his songs live up to the hype?

The campaigns had finished, the votes had been counted, the crowds was cheering, and all of Australia wanted to know the result. Who was going to win the election whoops I meant Idol?

At least the bookmakers got the election right however they got it resoundingly wrong with Idol paying $2.35 for aNatalie Gauci's victory compared to $1.57 for Matt Corby's. I knew I should have put a lazy $50 on bet on her.

Channel 10 were continuing to trying to keep the money rolling in by enticing us to vote during the show by saying there was less then one percent between them. This must have been to pay for the extravagent fireworks display they were going to unleash. I wonder if we are the only Idol country who puts on a spectacular pyrotechnic display over our iconic harbour.

Tonight it was a contest between the wog's and the white breads with the contrast apparent when the camera's threw to the supporters parties. There was ethnic Melbourne compared to the anglo-saxon shire(or as the Shire residents like to say - God's country) in Sydney.

But first there were hours to fill before they would announce the winner, there were former Idols to perform, and other Channel 10 shows to plug, and of course the ubiquitous Final 12 performance medley's to sit through.

Chris Murphy interviewing on the red carpet made a nice change from the blonde buxom women who usually are given the role.

Guy Sebastian must have thought he was on Rove answering his standard question "Who would you turn gay for?" when Guy revealed to Chris Murphy when he looked into Matt Corby's eyes he felt a little attracted to him.

The one weird thing was Casey Donovan was there with her personal trainer Guy Leech, but they did not let her speak. Apparently she has lost 20 kgs with more to go.

Young Divas were the first to perform on the outside stage at the opera house with there new single a cover of Turn Me Loose. The dangerously close camera angles going up Emily Williams, and Paulini dresses which made James Mathison quip "The shows classification rating nearly was changed" If either girl had been going commando it would have been tears before bedtime."

James was on fire tonight with witty one liner after another.

Damien Leith performed his new single, and he is continuing to build on his post Idol career with Andrew G revealing Damien's tour has sold out.

He actually looked pretty cute in his glitter suit and skinny tie. Has he had his teeth done?

Channel 10 then did some flashbacks to some humorous (read really bad) contestants from the yesteryear's of Idol. Though the only horrifying thing was Dicko's mullet, and Mark Holden's cow licks.

The much hyped up Divinyls were next up and for the viewers at home we got to watch it twice, as the first time the feed cut half way through and they went to an ad break. So once they returned they replayed it.

Chrissie Amphlett has shown how to avoid botox as you hit your middle years, just grow a fringe that goes to your nose so no one sees your forehead or eyes.

At this point Reality Raver must confess to being a huge Divinyls fan and have seen them in concert a few times. Loved the song, loved the singing, but her continuing to do the sultry sexy young pouty look whilst performing made me cringe a little. I think people should age disgracefully but she was taking it too far. Personally I think she should hire a movement coach to see how they can change that part of the performance for their upcoming tour.

I see they got around that problem in the Divinyls new singles video clip by just having animation.

Also if anyone can interpret her answer to Andrew G's question of what advice would you give these two idols I would really appreciate it. I had presumed she was over the drug phase of her life by now. Even Andrew G looked confused, but as the consummate professional managed to segue it into a promotion for their new single.

Shannon Noll was up on stage next. He is probably the most successful former Idol, but I don't understand, who does he appeal to? I thought his song was particularly ordinary.

Next up was the first time I had seen the Australian So You Think You Can Dance judges together on TV. Bonnie Lythgoe, Matt Lee, and Jason Coleman were saying our auditions had elicited some amazing dancers.

The final 20 for that show must now be finalised as they then did a dance on the outside stage. It was so exciting, and there seemed to be a great mix of dancers. The dance was just high energy with lots of different styles. Unfortunately we will have to wait until Feb to begin watching the series.

The Mum's That Rock competition winner was on next. She was ok as she channelled Janice Joplin, however she will never get an invitation to join the Young Divas as she can actually remember the original versions of the songs they cover.

Natalie Bassingwaite, who is also host of the Australian version of SYTYCD, had her other hat on tonight as lead singer of the Rogue Traders.

She roared onto stage on a motorbike looking hot and started pouting and singing like Wendy James from the Brit pop-punk band Transvision Vamp. The song ended with kung fu fighters coming on stage and doing routines from a bad B grade '70's kung fu movie.

Then it was Natalie and Matt's big moment, they arrived at the opera house in stretch porsche. Matt was wearing a blue velvet suit, and Natalie was wearing a dress that looked like Bjork's infamous swan dress had been recycled. They clutched hands and they both looked like they were going to the prom together.

After getting badly groped by the crowd where I think Matt had every right to say "Don't touch the hair man" they arrived at the top of steps, and it was time for the final 12's first song of the night.

They sang Lionel Ritchie's " All Night Long". When they first started singing it I thought what a strange song couldn't they have picked something more modern, but all was revealed when Lionel Ritchie jumped onto the stage. I have got to confess it was cheesy, but I loved it. For once the superstar surprise promised, was a superstar surprise.

Lionel gave some great advice which Matt could well heed. "The positive things about these shows is that they let people know you are in the business, otherwise it is very difficult for people to know" Hopefully this will stop Matt whining about his musical credibility for awhile.

I wish Andrew G had taken the opportunity to ask when Lionel's daughter Nicole's baby is due.

Next was another Idol medley with Natalie and Matt changing outfits, Natalie still kept her $1 millon worth of diamonds on - clever girl.

One of the songs was Fat Boy's Slim of "Praise You" I was wondering if this was some sort of comment on the Hillsong Church controversy which has been plaguing the show.

I noticed in the medley's Tarasai barely got any singing solo time, have they sidelined her? She came fifth, and other people who finished lower then her like Brianna got more lines to sing. Interesting.

I was disturbed that I still found Carl Risley looking hot this evening, and good news for the female fans, apparently he was spotted out and about have a huge fight with his girlfriend.

Next there was a review of Natalie's Idol journey which was great. It would be good if the SYTYCD producers take this idea out of Idol's book and on the last show play the final two journey's before they announce the winner. I found that very disappointing last week in the american SYTYCD finale not seeing Danny's and Sabra's journey for the last time.

Then they did the grandparents couldn't make it video, but then lo and behold they turn up on stage trick, which I really did not see the point of.

Natalie then did a great rendition of "Man in the Mirror".

Next we got to see Matt Corby's journey which again was interesting. He did do some great songs. It was just his last month's form slump that made me forget that.

Then his "mentor" Jarrod Clark came on stage. Now Jarrod looked like he had been imbibing alot of the green rooms free alcohol, and was very modest when asked whether he had shown Matt how to play and perform. Also kissed him and did a weird gesture over his face with his hand. They clearly used to go to the same hairdresser or is that lanky layer look becoming fashionable for men. I really hope Matt does not start some sort of trend.

Also the other trend I hope he does not start is the red tights look, it showed off his lunch box or as the french might say his "petite dejuener" if you get my drift.

Matt then sang Bittersweet Symphony very nicely.

Then another final 12 performance where again Tarasai was sidelined, and Carl looked hot.

Then James announced the winner of the Mazda and that was a shock Holly who won, maybe voters had felt sorry for her as James said " You must have impressed on the one episode you were on"

Then it was time to announce the winner, and it was a shocked Natalie Gauci. Everyone stood up and applauded and Marcia stood there with her hand out as if she was anointing the new messiah. Marcia then predictably burst into tears.

Natalie kept her composure and sang her new single "Here I Am" which will be on sale from tomorrow, and then there was the usual lovefest of stage before the credits rolled it was all over for another year.

Matt Corby burst into tears after he heard what Mark Holden said about him yesterday on radio. That diabtribe can be read in a previous post .

In the Daily Tele stated that Corby was shocked by what Mark had said.

Methinks Mark Holden is trying to drum up ratings for the Australian Idol finale.

Matt Corby called a Spoilt Brat
In the lead up to Sunday's Australian Idol final Mark Holden has labelled Matt Corby a spoilt brat.

He said the rendition of the Idol single " Here Am I" was lacklustre, and he let every one know he was not happy with it. Mark Holden said he was acting like a "spoilt kid" and even if he did not like it should have given 120%.

Mark should know he has had to sing some duds in his time, however in this case I am backing Holden all the way. This kid seems to think he is the new Michael Stipe.

Here is the full article .

Sonia Kruger career sky rocketing
Sonia Kruger, Darryl Somer sidekick, and the one who actually does crack the jokes star is rising. She will be now hosting the Mix 106 breakfast show with the DWTS judge Todd Mckenny.

Also Sonia is on the cover of the high selling christmas addition on the Woman's Weekly. What more could this woman want?

Guy Sebastian said the judges were being to harsh.
Guy said the judges should only say positive helpful comments, and not bitchy ones. Great so that would mean we would have four Marcia's on the panel how boring would that be.

He thinks they are more critical, and more personal this year then in his season. This is probably down to three things, the decline in talent, the hideousness of Sheridan Tylers styling, and the three male judges competing with each other to say the most outrageous things.

The Daily Telegraph today stated that Matt Corby took a swipe at Dicko last night for his comments about this years contestant being "beautiful but boring".

The already prima donna not yet popstar said after his very underwhelming rendition of
Jamie Cullum's hit Dry, the 17-year-old turned the tables with a snappy aside of his own, with the quip: "I feel sorry for Dicko. He must be bored out of his mind."

At least Dicko gets paid to watch the show, shouldn't he be apologising to the rest of the Australian viewing audience.

Anyway Matt Corby your attack on Dicko was the equivalent of being hit by a leaf of wet lettuce.

It was always going to be a huge night for Matt Corby and Natalie Gauci, but first we had to have them and Dicko go through the walk of shame for comments they had made to the media this week.

Andrew G and James Mathison dressed in Reservoir Dogs type outfits were the ones to give them the interrogation regarding their comments which hit all major metropolitan newspapers. At least the razor was not used like it was in the Tarantino flick to elicit their confessions or contrition.

Dicko was first up. I wrote about his media foot in mouth in a previous post called Dicko Speaks The Fountain of Truth. To summarise he thought the final two were bland and boring.

Tonight that article was projected up giant size on the backwall of the studio stage. With a please explain from Andrew and James.

Dicko who had huge bags under his eyes"Said he cannot remember saying it", however he did confess to agreeing it was what he thought. " He said it was not just them, but he thought the final 12 were a bit lightweight, and may find it difficult to stay in the limelight once they are starved of the oxygen of a weekly show."

So this may have also explained the top 12's trip to Granville MacDonalds to be taught how to flip burgers.

Next up was Matt Corby and Natalie Gauci's huge faux pas of calling the winners single "Here I am" a dud. In today's Sunday Telegraph an article outlined that both Matt and Natalie were not entirely overwhelmed by the song they will release if they win next week.

They both said they had been misquoted - rather unconvincingly mind you. It is a wonder they were not holding their butts after the arsekicking they would have got from both the Idol producers, and Sony BMG. Denis Handlin, head of BMG/Sony, must have choked on his cornflakes this morning when he read it.

Natalie and Matt need to go to Marketing 101 to learn always speak positively about the product you are spruiking.

Anyway after the 1 minute of humiliation it was time to hear the song that had caused all the kerfuffle.

Matt Corby was given the honour of opening the show with "Here I Am", but first we had to sit through an overview of Matt's short life.

In summary he has been performing all his life. Was bullied at school because he was in the choir (I thought that sort of thing did not occur at non-govt schools) so he quit, the choir not the school. Then he was in some Youth Community Band which toured around schools to try and instill some self esteem into the kiddies. They did not mention whether this band was christian affiliated, they probably wanted to avoid that as they did no want another week of Today Tonight stories on Hillsong stacking Idol.

After that he came back home, and was rejected by Newtown Performing Arts High School, and he received a scholarship back at his previous school. Matt has already indicated he is not going back to school so he can pursue a musical career.

Finally the song. Well these winner's songs are always unisex anthems, but Matt really looked like he was not enjoying singing it, therefore it was really boring. Even he was falling asleep singing as at least half the time his eyes were closed.

Next up was Natalie Gauci with the story of her life. She too has been performing since very young, and had a semi impressive tv, and singing portfolio. This year she actually released a self funded EP and was invited to New York to perform it.

Natalie's first song was "Apologise" by Timbaland. I had never heard of the song, and found it hitting both of Dicko's descriptives of boring and bland.

The Confidence Coach then interviewed John Rowe, movement coach, Erina, voice coach, and John Foreman, musical director about this years Idol.

This girl is never going to take over from Parkinson. John Foreman said that Matt had had a semi nervous breakdown - well John called it a confidence crisis- midway through the series, but now he was starting to put together some good performances.

I wonder if this crisis came when he was bottom two that time with Ben.

John Rowe said "They needed to find their star quality" Which would indicate he thinks neither has achieved this yet.

Matt then sang a cover version of a cover version called "High and Dry" Apparently a British jazz singer Jamie Cullen covered this Radiohead song.

Carl Risley must have been wondering where wardrobe had been hiding Matt's shirt, it was perfect crooner style. It was a black with a sequin open tie in a style like George Clooney wears in Ocean Eleven films.

Again I was completely underwhelmed by his performance it was beyond mediocre. And that movement coach must not be earning his money with Matt as he is always on that chair. To quote the great Iggy Pop "I'm Bored".

When was this show going to pick up?

Well it started to with Natalie's rendition of the fabulous Kate Bush song "Running Up that Hill" which she did a great job with.

I thought she looked good in black pant and a jacket, which would be perfect for the Dr Who party I have been invited to, I would be able to dress as a dalek, rather then breaking out the shammy's to dress as that warrior princess Leila.

Matt Corby then sparked up with a good rendition of "Mines Eye" by Wolfmother, it was the only time all night there was any enthusiasm from him. Mark Holden loved it and gave it a standing ovation. His way of saying I want Matt to win.

Matt's look confused reality raver for quite a few minutes. I had thought that Sheridan Tyler had hit new lows in the wardrobe department by slinging a pair of sunglasses around his neck, however Ravers sidekick pointed out that it was part of the design of the tshirt. Duh.

Andrew G and James announced a new concept, the Winners Journey Tour, which the winner will do throughout Australia to be joined by different final 12 contestants throughout. It starts on January 4 in Wollongong.

It was then Natalie's turn to sing the winner's song "Here I Am". She did a much better job with it, and I quite liked it. Also she looks fantastic in red. The audience seemed much more enthusiastic about it.

Now they and us have to wait until next Sunday to find out the verdict.

Over the past couple of weeks I have been liking Matt less, and less, and I am trying to decide what he would hate more - winning and having to sing the winners anthem over and over to publicise it, or whether his ego would be crushed by not winning this season as everyone is expecting. So at this stage I have not decided how I will vote.

Today in the Daily Telegraph Dicko said what a lot of Australian Idols are thinking - that the final two this year are a tad boring.

Matt Corby fired back and said "If you don't like it don't watch it".

Um Matt that is exactly what people are doing with ratings down this year, and don't delude yourself it is because you are up against Kath and Kim on Channel 7.

Though Dicko should think about that old adage "Don't bite the hand that feeds you".

Tonight amid high tension, the 70's porn fashions continued with Matt Corby wearing a sequined t-shirt, Delta wearing a black sequined(clearly THE fashion trend for summer) mui mui, and Marcia mimicking Sonya McMahon's side split dress that she wore to the White House in 1971.

All three Idols had the I have come this far I want to go all the way nerves going but before the viewers could hear the verdict the Channel 10 producers had an hour of tv to fill.

Enter Delta Goodrem singing her new single "Believe Again". It was like a cross between Jewel and Stevie Nicks in her black sequined mui mui, what was that all about, does Sheridan Tyler have stylistic control over everyone who comes on the show? So this was Delta's new and sexy image? She is only 23 but she dresses like a 40 year old.

Then in the middle of the song all these women in white come onto the stage to sway and sing together. It was like a very bad take off of the Robert Palmer film clip of "Addicted to Love". It was all pretty cringe worthy, and it did not make me want to buy the album it is like she has morphed into Celine Dion.

Next up is the confidence chick asking banal questions of the idols. What I want to know is who did she sleep with to get her own segment on the show?

Then a new trying to be humorous but it so wasn't was Mark Holden going back stage with a camera calling it Idol Exposed. The only exposed bit was a shot of Marcia's broad shoulders in her sequined dress from last night, which was horrifying.

After a few more fillers on came Marcia to sing a song from her new album a cover version of the REM single "Everybody Hurts". It was not a great rendition of the song, not helped by the Hillsong backup singers.

Half way through I decided I preferred Kyles rendition of Just A Gigolo from last week.

The most nauseating moment was when she turned to sing to the Idol's with that look that said now kids this is how you sing with emotion.

Natalie just sat there with a fixed smile showing her newly whitened teeth, and Carl just looked totally bored because it was not a swing number.

Though it should have given Carl Risley comfort to know that you can make a career out of singing covers.

And then drumroll of suspense. Natalie Gauci was first through. For a moment I thought sweet irony maybe Matt will not make it to the Opera House, however predictably Carl was eliminated.
