("...maybe tonight ill finally fall in love again..." - Kate DeAraugo, 'Australian Idol')

Clearly Kate has the better dress AND makeup, but that doesn't mean much.. or does it?   I think the real question in answering "Am I happy?" is in satisfying my notion that the winner would be whoever can sell more records and help make a name for Australia in the global music market and I feel this sorry commercial way now that the competition is over and realise that at the end of the day it's all about money anyway..  Of course really good singing and really good music helps, but assuming that it's young folks that would buy the music, to answer my question it's necisarry for me to go back in time and think like I once did.  So it seems that in answering "Who would I rather listen to?" (just as relevant as asking who would sell more) I must ask myself, "If I was 18 years old, which one of them would I rather have sex with?"

Emily is much more mobile on stage and also seems much more likely to sing from the heart.  This leads me to beleive that in bed she would be genuine and I wouldn't have many experiences where I really wondered to hard if she was faking it or not.  I think that since she is the more mobile and multitasking of the two (singing AND moving) that she would be a more diverse lover and that not only would she be attentive to me as a partner, and I think Kate would be attentive too, she would be able (multitasking) to do that extra this and that as a part of her attentiveness.  I may be using stereotypical here, but I think the tatoos indicate that she is open as a partner and would not face an encounter with fear.  I'm not sure if she's married but I know she has a kid.  If she's married then it would of course be a turn off.  The fact that she has a kid indicates some sexual experience so I think she would know her way around the bedroom.

Kate does not multitask, she can sing but she can not move to what she sings.  She also does not seem to get lost in the moment and make a good song brilliant the way Emily does.  She has no tatoos.  She has no kids that we know of.  It would not be shocking to learn that Kate is a virgin.  So with her, I feel very unsure of anything except that her intentions would be good.  Good intentions have never really turned me on that much.

Okay all that was a load of crap although it is kind of fun to reminise about what went through my head about female artists when I was 17 and seriously now and to the end that sex does sell and that sex does sell music, in fact it was a complaint that Kate heard from the judges, "not finding the sex of the song" or words to that effect.  So it wasn't really a load of crap in all respects.  The truth is that success will partially depend upon the market in the respect of what age group buys albums.  If it's older people then the sex of the matter goes to Emily but if it younger people, Kate would be the fantasy woman of choice as the fear for potential to not rock one's world (like Emily might) wouldn't be realised by a lot of young people.  It seems now that my summaries are becoming a little relevant and not a load of crap afterall and in all honesty I think it comes down to image because the name of the game is money and there are plenty of great song writers out there.  It is doubtfull that our Idol will have to worry about writing good music or finding a band they can work with.

I wonder what happens to record sales after a person is knocked off of that sexaul pedestal? For example, I wonder how well Britney Spears is selling these days.  Probably not very.

I wanted Emily to win.  I'm happy with Kate.  I don't want to have sex with either of them.
I liked Dan better than Kate actually but I'm still happy with her.  I don't want to have sex with Dan either.

I liked them both but i prefered Emily,hopefully they will sign her to a deal.I would buy her album.

That photo says it all. Emily looks like a man in drag, Kate looks beautiful. Who would you rather pin up on your wall?

I'm Glad Kate won, haven't seen her clip for the song yet, must keep missing it.  I think Emily has a good face for radio. She cries too much for my liking.

A 26 yr old girlfriend of mine is hooked on this show and was very put out when Emily didn't 'win' but isn't it the runner up who gets all the deals and good exposure. Your comment about Emily, Simpson, was a bit out of line.

I think that Emily should have won. Throughout the entire competition Kate did not have one song where you could say wow that was fantastic, no touchdowns at all. She was consistently good but never brilliant where as Emily had flashes of brilliance & should have won. Worst of all is that somebody has actually signed Lee Harding.

Yeah, I agree with SuziH - Simpson, you're abit harsh. I think both girls are lovely looking women with very bright futures.

Kate didn't get a touchdown, true, but I loved her renditions of both Ironic and Heaven.

Anyway, click here for Kate's video (then click on 'video').

How come I get away with writing a really long post about who would be better in bed and get away with it but Simpson gets challenged?  I myself was just re-examining the picture after re-reading the thread and also thinking it was harsh... but only because of who wrote it since Simpson isn't known for it.  If it was someone else, that I can't think of at the moment, then it would be expected (don't think we have that a person that predictable quite yet though).  Like, I don't think we were saying entirely the same thing on all points but I'm just wondering how I got away with what I said and he doesn't with his.  I've been a bit nervous to see new posts in this thread after my post to be honest.  I actually started off writing that just to be stupid but by the time I was done it actually made some sense to me.
Anyhow, and either way, you Rock, Chick!

Oh, EDIT while I can:  Emily is hot.  The picture doesn't do her well but she is hot. Perhaps if she had won then a differant photo where she looked better would have been the one to get published. (Sorry here Simpson, but it's the truth for me).

Also, and not very relevant, I haven't voted because the criteria is too opinionated.  I don't feel strongly enough for Hell Yes and Hell No.

I was simply stating my truthful opinion. Yes, it was a bit harsh, I apoligise if any were offended. However I did state "that photo says it all" meaning that in the photo Emily did not look the best that she could have

Sorry ladies, but I'm going to have to agree with Simpson. Emily does look awful in that photograph, although on TV I find her way more attractive than Kate.

I'm actually glad that Kate won so Emily and Lee can have more successful careers. In fact, Lee's debut single 'Wasabi' will be released on December 12th and will also feature his rendition of 'Eye of the Tiger'. Can't wait to hear it!

You can already - http://www.leeharding.com.au

I'll assume I'm being ignored then.

Well, your post was rather long, unlike mine which was 'straight to the point in your face OMG how can you say something so harsh'. I know I tend to skim read any post that is longer than a paragraph!

Does that say anything about your attention span, Mr Simpson?  

Deanie darlin, I read all of your post and as I've mentioned before, love reading them, however long or short they are!   Of all the boards I read you are probably the 'member' I most enjoy.

Oh dear this post is turning into a Benny Hill show. I'll shuddup now
