nik isnt a tryhard!i know nik is a scorpio but wen is his birthday if any1 knows can dey let me know.thanxz

Hornet Chik 7 October, 2005 - 8:47am

Yea, I'm not too sure about Nik, hes not as good as Steve. There is just something about Steve, hes got an edge. Niks just kindof a try-hard and a poser. NOT who we want to win NZ Idol. Even if Steve only gets second, Id say he will do better than Nik coz his style of music is way more popular!!!

VOTE FOR STEVE!!!!!!!

redcherry 5 October, 2005 - 5:49pm

I'm not insensitive, I just don't care.

Yay Nik Laughing out loud (I have a Tshirt with your face on it - that you loved Eye-wink).

Is there anywhere we can go to get video clips of his songs rather than just MP3s?

alcatel 17 September, 2005 - 2:45pm

Cool he has a strong country base under him Laughing out loud

dickieboy 31 July, 2005 - 4:46pm

Yes I also thought the Judges where hard on poor NIK but then they dont really know by the looks of it just how good he is. They are about to find out soon enough. I joined up just to have my say about NIK and know that they will eat there words when he wins.

dickieboy 31 July, 2005 - 4:43pm

I think NIK is great too I watched show stoppers and I liked his version of 10 guitars. Im sure he won show stoppers didnt he? Well I wanted him too. I know he'll win NZ Idol and I'm going to vote hard out to make sure that he does. I tried to make a bet online but i think you have to pay money but apparently hes winning on that. I wanted to win a date but have no idea if those too are legit. Hello Nik hope you read this one day. All of our love and support goes out to you. Your second biggest fans are MTandK, because your mother and grandmother are the biggest.

Love MTandK
