Australian Idol is really down to the business end, with just two contestants remaining.
While beating indie rock chick Hayley Warner will be a challenge, performances like this tell me unassuming soul singer Stan Walker can do it.
“Superstar” has been covered by everyone from The Carpenters to Luther Vandross, but last night Stan made it his own.
They talk about Idol moments in this competition, those points in time where you gasp and marvel at the talent of a young singer on the brink of mega-stardom. This song gave us those elusive goosebump moments, and then some.
Stan has been so consistently good, whether he’s singing his soul standards or mixing it up with Metallica or Miley Cyrus. I’m not sure whether he’ll take home that crown next week, but he definitely deserves to.
