Top 7: Beatles Comedy Night
*As notionally pleasant as it sounds, Marcia’s tendency to declare some performers “more than welcome” perplexes me. I am straining to imagine what degree of “welcome” exists beyond, well, welcome.
*Chanel’s performance, despite being dedicated to the Bega Valley Shire, was not in the slightest bit cheesy. But her outfit, also clearly dedicated to the Bega Valley Shire, still somehow put me in mind of something dairy-related. Nevertheless, her best performance so far elicited a compliment from Marcia, and a standing ovation from Daniel Belle, in an effort, perhaps, to be more than welcome after the show.
*Anthony, who somehow managed to avoid accidentally singing “I saw him standing there”, did an excellent throwback to Young Talent Time. Of all the Beatles songs, this is the only one he was familiar with, which is probably unsurprising, given this is a song covered by that talented songstress Tiffany back in 1987. Anthony unquestionably owns this album.
*Saliva-deficient Marty licked his lips and swallowed the mic through an allegedly rock performance of “Oh darlin’”. It must have killed Marty to drop the “g” off the end of “darling” – he enunciates most words within an inch of their lives. Yet he managed to escape comments from James Mathison and Dicko who had both expected the word to end in a “k”.
*Vote for Casey to ensure she doesn’t try to emulate her Idol Kurt Cobain, and to save us, perhaps as a consequence, from another week of Marty’s open shirt.
*Casey’s so-called lyric lapse occurred after the verse in “Eleanor Rigby” about Father Mackenzie writing the words to a sermon no-one would hear. Clearly, mumbling thereafter was actually part of a clever and ironic textual interpretation by Casey. Brilliant.
*Voice of a nation: Dicko, raising his finger, saying “Hold on, I’m talking, Marcia.”
*Ricki-Lee, singing her second song of the competition featuring the words “Work it out”, appears to be quite confident in her problem-solving abilities but not in her Beatles knowledge. I hate to sound like Courtney, but is it not slightly bizarre to claim singing as one’s calling and not be familiar with at least more than one Beatles song?

Projected Bottom 3
Casey
Hayley
Marty
Prediction
Casey is in real danger unless we all try to save her. Surely common sense dictates that we must join together and avoid the notion of the words “Marty”, “Australian Idol” and “Top 6” coinciding in some cruel amalgam, unless said amalgam looks like this: “Marty failed to make the Top 6 of Australian Idol”.
