The "Idol" bug has hit down under too!. We are bombarded 3 nights a
week with repeats of crazy performances, judges bagging contestants and
a lot of commercial fodder getting a spot on prime time Tv. So it was
with much surprise/pleasure that one of the final 12 contestants on
series 2 of Australian Idol ripped out a tasty version of Badfingers
"No Matter What" for the "pop" category. A little closer look at the
contenstant Courtney Murphy's history reveals he's a member of long
time pop rock group Murphy's Lore who have released a couple of pop
laced CD's over the past 10 years. Let's hope he pulls out a couple of
other pop nuggets.
