[Spoiler] World Idol winner


Recommended Posts

eh, i managed to not catch any sleep at all, so i was awake watching the World Idol a few minutes ago. it seemed like Kurt (the guy who sang Beautiful day) won :blink:

i don't see how he won, half of those contestants sounded much better imho, even the runner up down here seemed to have a better voice. but really, i predicted either the British, American or Australian contestants would be the top 3.

regardless of him winning, i don't think he will be very famous worldwide. i always thought the winners of their country would always be their favourite singer (i.e. the Americans like their winner, British likes the British winner). so in popularity, my opinion is the country with the biggest population (more people liking Pop) will have the most famous idol.

only reason i stood up was to watch the worst singers (hehe :D) and Kelly Clarkson (she was damn hot) :)

your opinions?

Kurt was the best!!He got a incredible voice, even thoug I don't like his kind of music at all. But we're from the same country, so that basically explains why I think he was the best.

EDIT: Did any of you see the face of Kelly Clarkson when she didn't win??Bad looser i think, but she's very beautiful.

i just don't think he has the voice to be classified as a "pop singer". rock, maybe, but his choice of a song doesn't reflect his ability to sing a pop song. which explains why 2/3 of the constestants chose pop songs. :p

I think Kurt won because the pop industrys and record buyers integrity were on the line. What would it say about pop culture if the best singer didn?t win just because he looked like crap?

I don?t think he?ll be a World Idol though. But it?s cool that he won nonetheless..

what I don't get is that most of the people who vote are probably in the 14-18 age bracket, and all singers sang some old hit ..

It makes me wonder if the result would have been different if just one person had sung a justin timberlake song (for example). I think they missed the whole point of targetting the voting audience. (my opinion)

lol, I woke up to watch it too! I gotta say that the winner supprised me, and Guy didnt do as good as I thought he would.

I'm actually happy that Kurt won, shows that the industry could be heading away from cheap pop and back towards real music.

I'm actually glad the Kelly never won it now. Nothing against the USA, Kelly is great. At the start of the show I wanted her to win but when Kurt kept getting top marks from each country the look on her face was priceless, it was almost like she was disgusted that Kurt was winning, she looked shocked. At about the 3rd set of results I started desperately wanting her to loose, I just wanted to see her face if she lost, because you could tell that she was expecting to win the comp.

Amen!!

i'm really sorry, i emailed two admins and requested them to change the title asap. :(

It's alrite. You made a mistake no biggie. I still watched and was shocked he won so handlely. I also laughed cause the Canadian had the funniest face whenever he got higher then sixth. lol he really sucks.

Kurt ... :angry: That weener, won? What the hell is wrong with this world!!! :blink:

Guy was the best, all there is to it... And Kelly whatever her name is ... What an attention ######... :no: This is all wrong. So wrong...

:|

edit: Would also like to add that the two worst judges were:

1. The fricken dick head from the US - :crazy:

2. The brain lacking twit from Poland.... Enough said... :|

It's based on vocal skill not the home town favourite that you think was cool.  The two with the best voice finished top two.

To me:

1. The Canadian Entry... Sang "He's not heavy, he's my brother" was the best.

2. The Australian Entry... Guy Sebastian

3. The heavy rocker dude! :punk: (Y)

4. -> Whatever... All lusers...

... and that Kelly Clarkson... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: What a sore luser :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

1. The fricken dick head from the US - :mad:

the Polish judge who prentended to be a smart-arse by talking fast and ending all his sentences with "thank you!" really ****ed me off. i bet all the judges were swearing at him, but that probably got edited out.

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.

    • Not sure what country you’re in but in many countries you can absolutely jail the sellers behind businesses… in fact I’d say in most countries you can do that
    • I guess we are done since you refuse to read my comment you replied to or my other comment in another thread you were also a part of here.
