So after 3 months of weekly shows, Final day has arrived at last… and despite all the lies & bullshit in Aftonbladet yesterday, it promises to be a very close run contest with Jay ever so fractionally ahead as you can see from the latest Expressen poll below
But it’not all cut & dried, because as we all know from this season, the voting has sometimes been very erractic and unpredictable… I mean, how else could Andreas Weise have sailed through 6 shows in a row?
Remember the last Karlsson v Carlsson Idol Final back in 2005 too? That’s the one where everyone expected Sebastian Karlsson to win by a landslide, but in the end and despite nobody giving her the slightest chance, Agnes Carlsson pipped him to the post and was crowned the winner? – and the first female to win the competition for the difference it makes. I think she was more surpised than he was at the result, lol… but it just goes to show it ain’t over till it’s over folks.
Here’s tonight’s song choices in case you’ve not seen them yet:
Minnah: “What are you waiting for” – (Gwen Stefani)
Telefonnummer: 099-414 02
Sms: text MINNAH to 72 400
Minnah: “Twist and shout” – (The Beatles)
Telefonnummer: 099-414 02
Sms: text MINNAH to 72 400
Jay: “Higher” – Creed
Jay: “Like a prayer” – Madonna
Followed by the specially written winning Idol song – “Dreaming people”.
Minnah’s “Twist and shout” stole the show back in October, and hopefully she can produce a repeat performance tonight.
The opening song, Gwen Stefani’s “What are you waiting for” is definitely not the easiest song to sing – unless you’ve got a doll’s house over your head – but if anyone can pull it off, Minnah can, and no doubt will… cos’ that’s what awesome megastars do……. and if a dude wearing a skirt can pull off a Madonna song, which was good btw, then there’s hope for us all
There are no losers in an Idol Final anyway – with the exception of a few peeps that vanished into obscurity since the first show back in 2004 – and no doubt a lot of Sony contract wheelin’ & dealin’ has already gone on behind the scenes – but someone has to “win it”.
Ok… time for all the talking & BS to stop.
Let battle commence! [see the official Idol 2010 site for more info]
GO MINNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
