Idol hopefuls have expressed anger over audition depictions
on the television series which conflict with reality.
On the programme it seems that all contestants audition
in front of Idol judges Mark, Marcia and Dicko. However,
the auditionees have to perform in two separate auditions
before they can make it the recorded segment in front
of the judges. Contestants have to audition in front of
producers and on the same day they perform in front of
the executive producers. They are then told to return
the next day, wearing the same clothes, at an idyllic
location for filming with the judges.
This process was most evident in the Canberra auditions
which were originally held at Canberra stadium, however,
viewers were transported to Old Parliament House with
no explanation. Last years series also required multiple
auditions before going to the next round with the judges,
with this process seeking the very bad and the good to
progress to the next round. American Idol audiences were
told that auditions in front of producers also took place.
This feedback was received from A. Chatfield in regards
to this issue:
Hi there
This was my first year of auditioning for Australian Idol
and I thought it was a sham!!!!!, at the least!
I waited outside for 9 hours, once inside I waited for
another 3 hours, A TOTAL OF 12 HOURS!!!!
This is not however the reason why I feel it is a sham,
it is because I was under the impression that you got
to audition first off in front of Marcia, Dicko and Mark,
and boy was I fooled.
Once in the auditioning room I was subjected to auditioning
in front of two unknown judges who let me sing two lines
and cut me off. When I asked why, they refused to give
me any explanation. HOW RUDE!!!!
Who were these so called judges, do they have any idea
about real talent, obviously NOT!!!!.
I know it is a sham because I saw a person who dressed
in a black suit, with these ridiculous big glasses on,
and his face was painted all black. He went in to sing
or shall I say scream a song with the words "YOU
ARE WHAT I EAT", and he got through. My guess is
that they let a certain number of people through that
don't possess real talent to make the show more interesting
and especially for a real good laugh.
Although I thought it was hilarious, I did not appreciate
having faith that Australian Idol was honestly there to
give people with real talent a go!!, well at least I know
how tricky the media can be as I have seen recently on
the TV show Australian Idol, it is portrayed that you
go and audition first in front of Marcia, Dicko and Mark.
Oh well at least I now know the truth, the truth that
o Australian Idol is not there to give people with real
talent a fair go
o Most of all, IT'S ALL ABOUT TV RATINGS!!!!!!!
I will however remain positive about the whole experience,
after all I guess that Australian Idol can't have only
the real talented people, because it may loose viewers
and channel 10 may loose it's ratings!!.
But they surly did miss out on a good talent!!!!!!, and
probably many more, oh well!!!!!!
Missed the first two episodes of Australian Idol 2 or
want to relive the good, the bad and the ugly from auditions
in Melbourne, Tamworth, Canberra and Brisbane?

2
The second series of the hit show Australian Idol, which
has made Guy Sebastian, Shannon Noll and Paulini Curuenevuli
household names, drew a viewing audience of 1.69 million
last night.
This result made Australian Idol the second most watched
program of the night, behind Nine's CSI: Crime Scene Investigation
attracting 1.77 million viewers.
The second series drew a slightly larger audience compared
to 1.64 million people who watched the first episode of
the first series last year.
The following night, Wednesday 14th July, the audience
grew to 1.714 million, making Australian Idol the most
popular show of the day.
"It's a fantastic result," Australian Idol executive
producer Greg Beness said.
"I'm extremely pleased with the ratings. We've got
a long way to go, but I hope they continue throughout
the series."
But Mr Beness said he expected audience numbers to fluctuate
as the series progressed to the live semi-finals.
In the 16-39 year age group last night, Network Ten claimed
victory with Australian Idol attracting a 52.3 per cent
market share, while in the 25-54 age group, Idol secured
43.7 per cent of viewers.

Australian Idol 2 Program details | BACK
| 13 July 2004
Details about Australian Idol have been released. The
top 117 contestants from auditions in capital cities around
the country went on to the next competition round which
was held over a week in June 2004. The top 30 [down from
last years top 40] contestants of Australian Idol have
been selected following a week-long audition held at the
Seymour Centre in Sydney. The top 117 contestants from
around Australia were reduced to 30 after the intense
auditions. Australian Idol cameras were there to capture
all the actions for the upcoming series. The top 30 will
be split into smaller groups. Each week, starting mid-series,
a different group will be featured on the show. Viewers
then have the chance to cast their vote for who progresses
through to the finals. Through this voting process, the
top 30 will be trimmed down to just ten finalists.
From mid September, these ten finalists will perform in
front of a massive studio audience and the show will be
broadcast live. At the end of each live show, the studio
audience and the home viewers will be able to vote for
their favourite performer through phone and SMS voting.
Each week, the number of performers will be reduced until
there are only two contestants left standing.
In a major live event, the final episode will feature
these two aspiring stars competing for the ultimate title
of Australian Idol, chosen by the national TV audience.
The next Australian Idol will then be announced.
