For those who didn't get to the Opera House Final

Here is a long clip from in the audience at the outside concert - includes clips of what didn't go to air (eg sound checks, intros etc)

Almost kinda like being there... although I still think Shimmery's photos and videos of stumbling on Damien and Jessica whilst sitting in a car waiting to hop on the Horse Drawn Buggy is gold.

And here is the reaction from inside when the winner is announced (nb - check out Damien's nervous Irish jig kicks - and all the noise when it is announced - it was deafening - I was there!)

And for a laugh - dancing with the judges

And a new photo montage of the Idols .. but the backing music seems to be in .... Chinese?

Cheers Dede! Thanks so much I was just saying to Christyl that the night felt like bumping into the Beatles just before they went into Abbey Road on their first day of recording or something - the moment "just before" the magic moment of history!!

Thanks for all these great links!
