This is ‘Australian Idol’

Tonight the finale of Australian Idol 2008 will conclude and we will have our next winner, for the first time since series 1 there are two males in the final, a final which looks to be a very interesting one.

Wes Carr and Luke Dickens will find that the red carpet has been put away and this year they will have to be content with playing the Opera House forecourt rather than inside. Channel Ten said the changes had been made to provide a better show for the public – with an expected 7000 to watch the live final at the forecourt.

Sydney finalist Carr said the show had already led him in the right direction. And it is a long way from where he was when the 2007 Australian Idol was dominating the screen. ”I was working at the bar at Bronte’s Robin Hood Hotel,” Carr said.

He’ll be singing his own tune at the finale. In a change for the show the formula of one song for both finalists to sing in their own style has been abandoned.

Instead an individual song has been picked for each contestant. For Carr, that is You – a bluesy tune with a pop sensibility. ”I liked it the moment I heard it,” he said.

So tonight you decide who you want to be the next Australian Idol, Wes or Luke…you decide, lets just hope tonight the right decision is made, we all know who is the better out of the two, so lets do the right thing.
