For the 2nd week in a row, I have talked to Dom and Paul on idol live!

Last week, I asked 'Do you think this years final will be bigger than last years?' (yea, a blonde question i know)

This week: "I just wana say thanks to Paul and Dom for doing Idol Love, and on NZ Idol you have both done a great job"

Congrats Rosita, You truly deserved this great title.

You can leave comments for her at this thread: http://www.idolblog.com/node/2005863 (Rosita: YOUR NZ Idol, 2005!)

Just before the Intro, it was obveous that this year's final is going to be huge.
With the red carpet, live crossings to Matt & Dayna in the home towns, and greetings from Simon from American Idol and Helen Clark, im really excited.

The whole final is very simaler to Australian Idol 2003's final.

The Judges now sit on a couch, under the big NZ Idol logo on the wall.
The NZ Idol Judge's desk has disapeared.
There is a long catwalk extending from the stage, and the stage has been altered so an live band can play.
