OMG I was on the computer and I was playing music really loud (SDB) and all the doors were shut and the TV on the other side of the house was on the lowest volume and I still heard Mikey and I ran through screaming sooo loud! I was like "AHHHHHHH MIKEYYYYYYYYY!!" My Mum was like "Wow how did you hear that?!" because if it was anything else it would have been impossible to hear but I have an ear for Mikey =D. And luckily I had just finished watching my Michael tape # 12 so I managed to tape most of it =D

I liked it, he sung it well, Amy Bowie who wrote Stupid Nothing Song is the daughter of one of the teachers at my school

I agree Admin. But wouldnt they have had less time to get votes in? (I didnt watch the whole thing so I might be wrong).
To be honest I didnt particularly like it. He did ok. The song was waaaay repeditive as well.

heheheheh 21 May, 2005 - 10:59pm

He Ruined That song

Jason from Opshop was perfect - sounded amazing. When Michael came along and added his 'spunk' to it it just made the song sound hopless.

I voted for green in the end, nice song that really could have been our next number one.

Dawnraid were right. He was hopless and will bring nothing to the NZ rapping industry.

admin 21 May, 2005 - 11:04pm

I liked Green the most too Cam. Sounded a little like a Goldenhorse/Bic Runga/Missy Higgins type song.

When I realised how little time there was to vote between when Michael sang it and the end, I wasn't so worried about the unfairness. The song was pretty awful and I wish Michael didn't leave his mouth hanging open so much when he's not singing *sigh*.

Anyways, I wasn't surprised that the hip hop song won - there's a huge voting base for that genre.

Haha yeah that looked so dopey - what the was he thinking :S

Scap 21 May, 2005 - 11:30pm

I agree with Cam and Admin.
Green is very good followed by stupid nothing song.

I thought michael did a good job but jason is far better.

What a stupid show. Good concept but put together poorly. It would have been better to go over a longer period of time. The song that won was so weak and unbelieveably lame. How did it even get into the finals?

Seems like Play it Strange gets thrown lots of money and airtime on TV and radio yet it hasn't produced anything of substance.

And what was Sony/BMG's MD going on about? The guy who wrote that song wrote one song for his kid and now they expect him to churn out an albums worth?

If that song goes to number one I will be highly surprised!

Michaels hangy-open-mouth thing is soooo annoying!!

Scap 21 May, 2005 - 11:41pm

It will never get to Number one TC. Never.
And i agree with everything you said,they shold of given people a week to vote.Heck they give people a week to vote for gay celebrity dancers.

Green should of won even though the nothing song was my favourite.
All just far too rushed. Tis' sucks.

Scap 21 May, 2005 - 11:49pm

I agree with u Cam - micheal sang the song out of tune and pitchy in some parts because compared to Jasons rendition or the way its suppose to be done, micheal kind of ruined it.

Aaron. 22 May, 2005 - 3:20pm

also just a note in defence of micheal, i dont think he had more than enough time to down pat how it was or is suppose to be sang originally.

Idolbabe 22 May, 2005 - 3:34pm

Oh come on. Not even his Idol exposure could make people vote for a performance like that.

And that hangy mouth thing...*shudders*

Ellaine4Ryan 23 May, 2005 - 11:30am

dam i missed it

Abbie 23 May, 2005 - 5:09pm

Argh he was so ruining his voice... *winces*

IwantJoelLittle 23 May, 2005 - 5:59pm

I only watched the very end when the hip hop people were performing then when the credits came up my brother was like OMG MICHAEL MURPHY'S NAME!!! And I screamed at him to shut up because he's always mean to me about Michael, but now I think I have to apologise to him for screaming at him. But I won't.

star reporter 23 May, 2005 - 6:30pm

Personally I loved the song. Jason did a great version, listen at the tvnz website. It was by far the best of the night with incredible lyrics. On voting on the song alone regardless of performance this one took the cake. Micheal if hes smart should release it, cause it has the potential to be his first number one. The other songs were boring and pretty much what you hear on the radio evry day. Battle ship penny was quirky. Wake up Micheal fans push for him to release it and watch it go staight to number one.

admin 23 May, 2005 - 6:39pm

Hehe, which stars can you report on star reporter? Smiling
