Week 1: With or Without You

[Neski]

OK Guys....recap - With Or Without You by U2

YUM His performance last night was fantastic. I loved the way he stayed true to the song and how he didn't mess with the arrangement. It was beautiful...truly wonderful.

While watching the performance I was captivated, however I still heard a slight variation (I heard a bit of Shannon Noll's version from Idol 1) But after downloading and listening to it once more i hear Damien *hearts*

Using every bit of his incredible range, Damien Leith celebrates the beauty of U2’s With Or Without You. Mark Holden wants a traditional Irish version, but Damien silences the veteran when he says, “it’s a classic and I tried to stay true to the song”. Kyle says, “we need to get some braces around those Tic-Tac teeth,” and the boos of the audience show exactly what Australia thinks of that comment.

Oh and another thing - his little preview video thing at the start of the performance - CUTE AS! It showed his wife and his gorgeous child Jarvis. And he wore a little badge saying 'Kiss me I'm Irish' and i was on the lounge going hehehe ok...lol...anyway guys

I should put up some screen caps when i get home - i am at school supposedly studying in the library for exams next week. And i shall also see if i can upload it so those who don't have the vid can have it

WOW Best performance last night

He absolutely blew me away and it was truly magical, gave me goosebumps.

I don't EVER EVER vote on Idol because I think its a stupid money scheming business but I don't care if it's rigged or not.. my conscience will be content if I vote for him like crazy every week!

He's been the most consistent so far this year with three breathtaking performances. The only way to go for him is up.

Jeff Buckley - Hallejuah
Joe Cocker - You Are So Beautiful To Me
U2 - With Or Without You

My favourite by far this year and if he doesn't win I know he will have a very successful career! GO DAMIEN

SUPEEEEEEEEER DOOOOOOOOPER!

I love on idol how they expect you to make the song true to you but then when they do they say 'I found it hard to sing along too' or 'there was 2much vocal gymnastics'

Can anyone ever win?

Perfect song choice and perfectly sang!
Stayed true to the song but still had a lil bit of that damien touch
AWSOME!

For someone who never votes for aussie idol.... My phone bill will be interesting this month! haha! All worth it!


Congrats Mate
All the way to the top

Note:

Back in these early weeks, we didn't have many threads or members! So the discussions tended to move in and out of other threads, it was a lot easier to keep up

So, a lot of the discussion for this thread also continued into this one! - To Damien
