I’m not sure how many folks in the states are aware that there is an Australian Idol; http://www.australianidol.com.au/ and far from being a poor second cousin, Australian Idol kicks butt all over American Idol. Just go to the site and check out a few of the archived shows.
The thing about Australian Idol is they let the contestants play instruments and perform their own music. They get treated like… musical artists. It makes American Idol look like Karaoke Night at the local sports bar.
As usual, anyone who has anything to do with the music business in the states is doing their level best to keep anything new and original off the radar. Blimey!
