I think the moral of the story is if you want someone voted out, write an article about them :P -- Chuq 02:41, 21 September 2004 (UTC)

What the fuck is that picture that looks like... a really strange Shannon Noll againsts the Logo. Methinks the pic should be changed to be the logo instead. LordMooCow 05:59, 3 June 2005 (GMT+10) — Preceding undated comment added 07:59, 5 July 2005 (UTC)

At time of writing, Lee had been voted out one week ago, Emily was runner up, and Kate won. So why does it say Lee won, Emily second, and Kate third. I hope this isn't vandalism--M Johnson 00:10, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
Was just wanting to know why we can't have the TV screenshot logo (as I had done for almost all the Idol series')? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ZlatkoT (talk • contribs) 09:00, 22 November 2005 (UTC)
I have removed the following passage, due to the fact it is based on speculation;

I feel this article should mention that there is a disclaimer that states that votes may or may not have an impact on the results of the show. Similarly, I know American idol holds pre-auditions, though I haven't heard about whether Australian does or not. Anyway, that's my 2 cents. 60.224.48.152 11:56, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
Do we have to keep the ugly orange colour which does not conform at all tto the Idol colour scheme. Disagree.ZlatkoT 14:53, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Are the singles listed as (Still in Chart) actually still in the chart? I've heard that Kate's Faded has left the top 100. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.53.251.2 (talk) 01:06, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
I have noticed in a few weeks that Ricki-lee's album was in the Urban charts, so I was guessing that the album also stayed inside the Top 100 for a few weeks too. Could anyone please check if the album stayed in the Top 100 for more than 6 weeks (that is what it says in the Albums table)??????? RaNdOm26 06:06, 8 July 2006 (UTC)
What do you think about the new singles table??? The old one was very big, so I made some new sub-headings. Should I change it back? RaNdOm26 07:28, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
I like the presentation. Perhaps you could do the same with the albums table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 144.53.251.2 (talk) 03:49, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
This statement appears in the article: "The reason of Casey's win has been debated ever since the announcement and her career has been a failure. She has yet to have a song popular with the public and the runner ups first single outsold Caseys first album in a very short amount of time." I agree that Anthony Callea's single did outsell Casey Donovan's efforts, but it is a bit harsh to say "her career has been a failure. She has yet to have a song popular with the public." Perhaps the author has forgotten that "Listen With Your Heart" spent a fornight at number 1 on the ARIA charts, and the follow-up, "What's Going On?" was a top 10 hit. Any feedback as to how we could make this more objective? Phil500 07:36, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
I think we should break up this article into individual series, like we did for Big Brother. What do you think? Cnwb 01:49, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
I think this article should be split, a separate article for each season. I'm only suggesting this so that non-notable former contestants' articles can be merged with a shorter article rather than with this one, as otherwise I'd have nominated them all for deletion. A lot of them have good information in them, and it would be a shame for it to get lost.

Hey, sorry, but I honestly disagree about keeping the article names as it is now. I might ask around, but I don't who might be interested. RaNdOm26 09:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Is it just me or is the "Commercial performance of Australian Idol contestants" section way too long? In comparison to the arguably more important section of "About the show" it's absolutely mammoth, not to mention the fact that it's just a long list of bullets. On a similar note is an infobox the most appropriate place for a list of finalists? If the show continues that infobox is going to be huge. What can be done here? -Lemike 09:53, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I will just explain clearly of my two recent edits. The criticism section in my opinion is wholly subjective and does not reflect on the scene of Australian Idol as a whole. The sentence, "The winners and runners-up from the show generally fail to maintain popularity past the airing of their respective series of the show." is definitely not true, as shown from a few of the Idol contestants. Some examples are Shannon Noll, which has had highly commendable results with his second album in 2005 and also performed well with his latest single in 2007 - this was nearly four years after he left the competition in 2003. Recently, Damien Leith has had his album went to #1 even though it was released 9 months after the 2006 show ended. This part of the criticism only holds true for a few of the finalists. The second part of the section reads how the "high sales" of the albums copied are actually measuring the number of copies shipped to the stores, then are mostly rejected. I know very well from the history of the contestants that this fact holds true for a handful of contestants, but not all of them. I would recommend this section to be reworded to comply with this; at its current state, it is biased in the negative side.
I agree that the commercial releases section is currently in a bad state and could do with improvement, but I am puzzled why the link to List of Australian Idol commercial releases was removed.
For the categories, I disagree that they should be removed. I believe they should be there to aid navigation between different cats. I research a little about this, and in WP:SUBCAT under the "Topic article rule" heading, it encourages having the article and subcategory being listed twice in a particular category. It reads, "the double listing sends the message to the user that there is an article about the topic, and there are also more articles to be found in the subcategory of the same name... It makes it easier to find main topic articles (by eliminating having to go to the subcategory)..." It think it is useful to have the article linked directly from the category, such as Category:Idol television series as well as a subcategory for further reading.

Just noticed that he isnt on the albums chart. i know he peaked at #10 but dont know the rest of the other facts. he should be added —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.216.39 (talk) 12:22, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
Hey everyone. I created the table listing the album sales of the Australian Idol alumni, and I've just found an article on the Australian Daily Telegraph website that states that Shannon Noll's third album went triple platinum, therefore placing him number one on the Australian Idol alumni album sales chart. Was just wondering if people think it shoud be updated or left as it is. The website address is http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22822238-5006002,00.html if you'd like to look at it. Thanks. Ryan_wood16 22:41, 16 April 2008 (GMT)
Shannon's third album was only accredited 1X Platinum. Aria is the only legitimate source of information for accreditations and they state 1 X Platinum. There are various claims of sales and accreditations for Shannon, with the more generous ones rather far fetched. His accreditations are as follows - 1st album 5 X Platinum, 2nd album 3 X Platinum, 3rd album 1 X Platinum and 4th album no accreditation at all. He also has 8 Platinum accreditations and 2 gold accreditations for singles. Making a total of 17 Platinums(9 for albums) which also makes the claim on his wikipedia page of over 1.5 million sales world wide seem a little bit of a stretch in the imagination as his only true success outside of Australia was a #2 single in Ireland. It is rather hard to work out how on earth the person who put that information in came up with that figure, as they supplied no citation for it. But of course people can claim what they want. Doesnt make it true though. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.90.253.111 (talk) 13:06, 19 July 2009 (UTC)
In order to converge with the Standards set by the American Idol pages, as well as the press releases by Network Ten (http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2008/03/australian-idol-2008-auditions-add-la.html), with the exception of media who names Australian Idol by the year number, the approach should be to reference the Australian Idol by series numbers. As such, we will stick with this approach unless there is logical reasoning to do otherwise. Please comment on my page if you have any issues with this. ~Teenchoiceawards (talk) 11:37, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Basically, for GFDL attribution purposes, all the copy-and-paste moves that you did have to be reverted, the histories merged, and then a proper merge done. I'm going to put in the request to have that done. (Note: also posted on your talk page.) -- ArglebargleIV (talk) 18:05, 14 May 2008 (UTC)However, it is important that the move is not done by copy-pasting the text around, but instead by using the 'Move' button that will become available once your account is 4 days old. This will keep the edit history attached to the article, whereas a copy-paste move leaves it behind at the old title.
Please don't anyone do that again. Clearly there's going to be repeated problems with this c/p move at present, and so I've taken the unusual step of fully protecting the (season X) articles as redirects to the by-year articles for now until things are worked out in a settled fashion. At that point, I will unprotect all the titles to allow editorial things to happen in the normal manner, or standard requests can be made. Note that this revert+protect is solely to prevent repeated c/p moves in the interregnum and not because I am choosing one title over the other.
"The show is hosted by music television emcee and television personality James Mathison and gold logie star Kate Ritchie." I don't think so! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.165.179.11 (talk) 07:29, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
It seems some Australian newspapers and Wikipedia say Australian Idol is being rested-officially no decision has been made on the talent show, despite media speculation as to what may yet transpire according to David Knox from tvonight.com.auaafuss 04:32, 18 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Aafuss (talk • contribs)
The Rumors in the press are not without warrant... Network Ten haven't made any sort of official announcement but they haven't outright denied the cancellation either... All three judges have said that they have yet to have their contracts renewed... Dicko still remains popular with most of the idol crowd so regardless of the network wanting to make changes I doubt that they would dump one of their more popular judging panelists in favor of taking a gamble on three new members who may or may not sit well there with fans even if they are popular members of the industry right now... Judging by what's going on right now we may not even get an explanation or announcement at all... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.148.72.220 (talk) 14:11, 2 February 2010 (UTC)
The section that notes the cirtiscism of Idol contestants needs to be revised, they only list Casey Donovan, Kate Dearaugo and Natalie gauci as unsuccessful but Wes Carr is listed on the successful side! No offense to him he is talented but he has actually sold less records than the girls who won and I know for a fact that Casey Donovan has continued her career and is doing really well so this section does not accuratly (spelling) show who has sold more records. In fact, on the commercial releases page in the table of ARIA accreditations recieved by Idol alumni, Casey Donovan is ranked much higher than alot of others who are on the supposedly "successful" list.
