battle of the worldwide idols - us vs uk vs australia vs canada

WINNER!

damien leith - night of my life
[30 year old aussie idol winner was actually a chemist before joining this years contest. but what brought him to the winning line was his sensitive rock voice thats clearly represented in this release. for a 1st single, this is a pretty good song. final word: listened to this song three times. i think he just found a fan]


taylor hicks - the runaround
[ok, there's nothing wrong with having a michael mcdonald for this generation, and there's nothing wrong with a guy looking like he's already 40. but the tight jeans with the bulge need to go...no really! final word: surprising, kind of like his win]


leona lewis - a moment like this (live)
[ok, i know, she's an x-factor winner, but since idol doesn't exist in the uk anymore, this is the equivalent. leave it to simon (yes, the same one) to choose this horribly cheesy cover as her 1st single. leona is much better than this, luckily she's talented enough to rise above it all and well... the song isn't that bad when she sings it. ugh! final words: fave idol of the bunch, crap song.]


eva avila - i owe it all to you
[canada's winner is a half quebeqois/half portugese sassy gal. going the pop teen route, this song is not bad either. final words: not offensive, not life changing]

If you thought that performance from Damien Leith was good -- Check out his performances on Idol of Wicked Games and Hallelujah on You Tube -----

I'm going to say this now. I want you to mark my words...mark them I'm being serious get a pen and paper.

Leona Lewis WILL be the biggest thing to ever emerge from any of these shows across the entire world.
