Adelaide and London Auditions - Recap

Clearly not much was expected from Adelaide this year as the idol judges went to the nearby Barossa Valley Winery and only took about 2 bus loads of auditionees with them - the first three to audition were woeful in the extreme and the judges didn't waste any time saying no. Enter 16yo Tom Williams singing "waiting on the world to change" 3 yes votes later and he's through. With the hosts James and Andrew content to try the Red Wine, the judges had other things to numb their brains. In comes James Butto With his music book and an auditon that has Marcia in stiches. So Adelaide sent just 6 singers through to Sydney.

On to London where Dicko is joined by Tina Arena and Darren Hayes as guest judges, after a short music cred biography of each of the guests, the auditions begin. First up is Kate James singing one of Tina's Biggest hits "Chains" and she bombs out. With girls outnumbering the guys 10 to 1 in London it's a surprise the first one through is a guy from Brisbane. A trend emerges where the girls all seem to be impersonating artists songs rather than singing their own versions into the afternoon. Then finally a couple more get through making a total of 6 singers from London through to the Sydney Top 100 round.
