I must admit that I never really warmed to her but I do recognise that she has a lot of talent and that it is a shame that she has been voted out this early. However I don’t think that Ricki-Lee Coulter’s exit from Australian Idol is a national tragedy.
Do the words get over it mean anything here?
Ricki-Lee was voted off a television talent show over a week ago and the nation seems more interested in that than our recent federal election. (Some people would say that we got the voting wrong on that one too but I’m not convinced either way.)
I’ve just seen the cover of the latest Who magazine which has a small pic of Ricki-Lee with the captions IDOL BOMBSHELL – RICKI LEE’S EXIT – “A DISASTER OF EPIC PROPORTIONS”
Excuse me? It’s just a TV show. I’m sure she’ll still get a recording contract and her fans can buy her music.
I’d like to see Chanel Cole or Courtney Murphy take out the big prize but if they don’t make it I won’t slip into depression. I’ll still buy their albums when they’re released.
Let’s put it all back into perspective. It’s a shame Ricki-Lee missed out but the last time I looked, the world was still turning and people were still dealing with bigger issues in their lives.

Even though my daughter absolutely loved Ricki-Lee, I have to admit, there was something I didn’t like about her.
I’m not sure what it was, as she has a wonderful voice and fully deserved to make it so far in the competition, but something about her manner really irked me.
I think her departure shocked everyone(including me) and that might be what all the hype is about.
….I hope Courtney or Anthony win, both are extremely talented singers.
I like Courtney and Anthony. There is also something wholesome and appealing about Hayley…and she sings Eva Cassidy, Dido and Sarah McLachlan – so I hope she takes out the prize.
Yes, I like Hayley too. There is something very fresh about her. Who knows, maybe she will win.
There was mention of a download of Betty Davis Eyes sung by Courtney Murphy. Any idea how I can find the link?
