Okay
2003 - Guy Sebastian won
Shannon Noll 2nd (he has since broken all sorts of records for number of singles in the top 10
of course very much helped by the fact that
1 was a charity single, $2.50 and at one stage sold with blue singlet
1 was re-released with special stuff on
1 was released with dvd/cd
1 was - near mid of its run - free with album
1 released with special poster
1 with special stickers
1 as duet with Lead singer of Rogue Traders/charity/special single to promote charity album said to also contain dvd
(LOL! - Isn't it the name of the game and marketing?)
2004
Casey Donovan won
Anthony Callea 2nd
interestingly - Anthony was then able to break all sales records because he didn't have to release the winners single - casey did.
Instead Anthony - luckily - was able to release his MAJOR single The Prayer, in time for christmas, and very quickly following Casey's Idol release (like a few weeks after) Poor Casey's sales were therefore not as good as they might have been do ya reckon? (Anthony would have won hands down - we have a huge Italian population and he was waaay more popular with the teenie girl voters natch)
2005
Kate D'aruge won (spelling is a bit out)
Emily... 2nd
these two were about on par, although to my mind Emily is the better singer. Probably the most even out of all the years
2006
Damien Leith won - 30yr old with great falsetto. He's pretty good
Jessica Mauboy 2nd - has also been signed up. She's 17 by a whisker, great voice (diva style) but has the major stage presence, star quality and charisma. She glows on stage. Will be interesting to watch.
They also signed up Dean Geyer who is a good Christian boy (like Guy) very good looking, very athletic, not a bad voice, not a bad musician and huge teenie following. Not sure how come he was knocked out of competition - probably teens ran out of money
