[judaspriestrock]

The judge was correct!!! :O

[unowho117]

jimmyy haha 1:07

[satoshi142]

best ever Australian Idol contestant

[dmohr7]

press 6,5,4 IM A NOB

[dmohr7]

hes wes cool cuz he thinks hes cool......

[mikalovesparraxx]

well he's definately not sitting on a bar stool singing to 10 drunk dudes anymore :)

[soph2100]

Wes carr's new song been a long time is epic and it's to his fans cuz he hasn't released anything in the past year or so it's dedicated to his fans :3

[azzaman96]

@soph2100 its such an awesome song. i cant wait to see what else he has up his sleeves

[lionesss666]

ohmygawwd i fell in love with him when i saw this....

[asava17]

Where is this ugly fucking dog? This was the terrible season idol had with this fucktard winning.

[tyabblemons]

@asava17 Heard his new song 'Been a Long Time'? It's a killer song, instantly my favourite, and I hadn't really followed Wes before it was released. Search for it here on YouTube. THAT is what he's doing now. Your level of abuse also shows your level of maturity.

[datman13btute]

soooo were is he now

[cmwish999]

luv wes carr

[nidaroon858]

just saw hendrix yesterday and he said you rock man

[crustyoscar]

Its 2011 now what happend to this wes carr guy ???

[Jamajalama]

why does she want to look under his hat???

[MrJazzat1]

This guy was in a band called tambalane with silverchairs drummer ben gillies, 4 yrs before he did this fucking audition, look dude ur good but why do australian idol? have some self respect.

[1996Jacqui]

@MrJazzat1 was just about to comment saying that, i'm a silverchair freak and loved tambalane too, i agree he doesn't need australian idol...although tambalane did have a kinda messy breakup

[franculas]

jimmy would be proud of him

[fortressoneforever]

great song- i wish yu the best

[TheJuliusJT]

how did his career went?

[brownpaperrag]

"I cannot wait to see how you do in this competition."

LOL he won..

[xxGrey]

I love his cover of For All the Cows on Good News Week :) AND THE FEDORAS! <3

[Origamiking1]

i know all this guys songs off by heart this guy is the best!!!!!!!

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO talented

[VladPatryck]

now that;s a bad ass quitar player.....wow nice vocals too.....:D

[N1k1mon]

Btw, this guy rocked!

First songs I learned on guitar were Jimi and Zeppelin but I never got the singing bug, this one got a hug from the bloody judge, rock on mate.

[N1k1mon]

Just as a bystander, I have a question. Why do Indians emigrate so much, your country is very large. And once you do, why segregate and cause problems as an "us vs them" type of deal? If you become citizens or get naturalized, you're Australian too, or English, or American, wherever you may be. I never understAnd these immigrants who don't assimilate, cause problems yet keep coming in droves and don't leave. Half my ancestors were probably shipped to Austrslia, they're getting on just fine. ; )

[pepper12343]

I live in America :D

[AFLife18]

@pepper12343 good on ya mate :)

[Bl00dTooTH]

fuck of u indian cunt how about u fuck of out of our country if u dont like it im sure the fuck wit that got bashed said something first an even if he didnt its fair enough u fuckers come over hear steal our jobs an shit so fuck of u indian cunt

[donaldstan]

Umm..may i ask y re u guys commenting about ol dose country matters here in dis music audition video,,,,, nehw.. this guy was awesome!!

[WILDCROVL]

@bionicgreek i dont think india is gona do that bud lolz nd even if they do we will start sending you familys back to your shithole cuntry nd yes i spelled that wrong on purpose (cunt)ry . so i dont think your pm really wants dat so meh suk it nd this is your fault for speaking on public transport loudly nd disturbing evryone while advertising the fact the you have a fone on ya so dont blame others for your fuckups

[stingy1sam]

Lol. Some indian students got attacked in a racist outburst once in Australia.

Each day tens are killed in similar instances in India and america.. If you wanna attack someone, look to your own pathetic country, jackass...

Oh and you do realise Australia is bigger than europe? and that it has the longest coast line of any country (i believe Russia comes in second) and that it would be literally impossible to blockade it?

[kraziestylecrew]

@stingy1sam that is wrong dickhead Austraila has the longest coast line ..thats why they made the great barrier reef one of the 7 wonders you fukin moron..who gives a fuck about indians..this is Austraila

[xGottaSmilex]

i saw him last Night!

hes sexaay se held my hand!

[thetrazor]

this guy is rly talented!

[Ecnomic]

wow, this was really pleasent....

[bowser23323]

mark spano!!!!!!!

[MrsKretschmann]

Lol @ Dicko. He got so excited.

[SpencerIves]

Wes Carr and Bobby Flynn = the only good things to come out of this show.

[ramspissed]

Bobby Flynn is awesome, it's a shame his band never took off because he had such a unique voice

[kakabukbuk]

LOL its funny how they said "tiny bondi flat"

[keybladedavid1996]

w00000000000000000000000000000­00000t i love you YOU FUCKING ROCK LIKE HELL!!!!!!!.

[noneybaloney2]

NOT!

[LedZeppelin005]

wow loove this guy :)

[atozinco]

He has so much energy, he looks good, and he's really interesting/original/quirky.

I thought I'd check out what We Carr was like because I'm watch Aussie Idol this year (and loving it) but this is my frst year watching Idol. I wanted to see what sort of a singer Australia voted for.

[patti9estel]

If you get a chance to see him in concert, go for it. Saw him when he was in Adelaide--he really loves his audience and his energy is boundless.

Check out his Michael Jackson night performance. He was a big fan and had been wanting to do that ever since he was a kid. The judges gave him a touchdown. No touchdowns so far this year.

[Kelnoctis]

That's because Mark is gone and has slapped a trademark on it or something.

[JametBikeCo]

AWESOME!!! He's BRILLIANT!!!

[kkaylee1234]

wes is awesome!!! does anyone no if there is a winners journey dvd of wes carr while he was on idol? if so plz tell me thanx ppl!!

[mastas15]

this is my best friends cuz :) hehe

[Sk8tersss]

damn his awesome,

greetings from sweden

[Nevermind900426]

im swe too and dude that guy is the best idol participator ever!

[ddmrcollins]

I love Wes!

He used to go to my school in Adelaide and he is now kind of a local hero for us.

He is just such a nice friendly guy with amazing talent and a great voice!

[fuegoeterno19]

this man is pure gold!!!

[darkbluemountain]

I predicted this guy was going to win. I AM GOD.

[sallyprue]

that's twice (that i've seen) that Dicko's picked the winner. creepy xD

[Lilybelle78]

best thing that ever happened to that show he is brillant and im so happy he one and now he is even better with his new album

[rosygirls92]

Dude if dicko gave him a hug what's, australian idol ?? Gunned it!

[TheNatasja98]

wes is the best and deserved to win.cause he was great at the perth consert.i know cause i went

[nickdannick]

fucking great cover. love it

[LorenzotheLlama]

best aus idol winner ever produced! GO WES!

[psych0m0viemaniac]

sooooooooooooo goooooooooooooood :D

[azmanntoz]

i think he's more interesting here at this level. Idol and the major labels will over saturate him and stunt his longevity.

[PrincessNazz]

go wes

i know his cousin! she's an amazing singer too

[frostedcrown]

perfection

[cjharrison123]

Wes is awesome!

he nailed his first audition and deserved to win it.

hes also awesome coz hes my mates cousin, i voted for him!

[danoskan]

ummmm yehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[EvilMagiks]

GO WES!!

[upperfreak]

WOW awsome

[somesillysap]

Wes totally deserved to win... Lets hope he gets the chance to sing what he wants to sing and not what Sony make him sing.

[wowimshane]

rock on wes

[SHIAA4LYF]

i agree. funny that he had no idea wen he was auditioning that he wud end up winnin and releasin that mad song feels like woah

[RourkeNRoll]

Wes and Mark should have been in the final two

[somesillysap]

I cant believe Mark wasnt the runner up.. I think because people thought he had a big head, just because he was confident and that went against him... The shearer dude was like an average guy at a karaoke night. I cant believe he went so far. Just shows how much Australia likes to support the small guy...

[Yashura]

He's just great.

[asti898]

lol at marcias JIMMY

[LibartyTeal]

I LUV HIM HES AWSUM!

[wOhst]

I got goosebumbs when he starts to sing... just awesome voice and personality!

Thumbs up from Germany...

[joshpit666]

this show wasnt the same without mark

[ausidol08]

good song choice, wejj sung a good job all round

[gaffpaulscot]

Please no more idol.whats happened to all the other winners of this game Guy Sebastian had to give away two for one tickets at Twin Towns all the prvious winners and runners up are embarraced by the whole experience. most of the audience are young girls hearded in to scream,shout and wave a sighn, where is Damien Leith? Anthony? Shannon?, and the list goes on. Australia has run out of Talent at this stage, its one thing to send a 25 cents on a tex, its another to spend 30 bucks on a CD, GO AWAY

[pauline1234565]

why dont u shutup u queer can u sing better then this guy no and most of those girls r hot u doooooooof

[thingy86]

i agree with you, i havnt heard anything from wes since tonight.

[egle757]

looks like a young bob dylan with longer different color hair

[sorenbraybrook]

Idiot.

[oneclubonefamily]

great audition.

[Corrupt140]

it was a great cover

[JohnTP94]

better then jimmy lol

[hiphopboy6391]

come off it....lets be serious, i myst admit this is my favourite cover, especially with acoustic...

but no body's better than jimmy..fucking legend

[elfquestfan22]

Totally awesome!! I also would love him to do this song on his album.

[DibbsIsHere]

Congrats on the win. Hope the label doesn't burn him. Hopefully they let him do his own stuff..... I doubt it though. Or at least let him go do lunch with Chris as was spoken about on the show.

It's funny....I hate Aus Idol, but he was the reason I watched it occasionally. I wanna see him do "all along the watch tower" as a single

[FreddieFan176]

I think for the first album he has to do the songs that idol, or whoever it is that writes them, have written for him. then after that he is free.

[tincan2217]

Congratulations strongest singer MAN!!!

[wufflepower]

This is by far the best idol auditions out of them all, PERIODICLY!!!!!!! From the start he was always incredible. Nest australian idol ever

[leggs115]

tink you mean period. lol. but yeh theres never been an audition that comes close. im a huge hendrix fan and this just blows my mind. i love how he has his own little take on every song..and they dont ruin the song. honestly i knew he was going to win from the first time i saw his audition on the COMMERTIAL. not even the actual audition. we saw the add and i said to my gf, that guys gonna win haha.

[lillymoscha]

"hes a sexy man" lol

[tarquin247]

10/10 best audition

[originalbandicootccs]

best audition ever seen

[JasonRichardTaylor]

man he deffinatly desever the win. although mark spano was my favourite

[KTO030]

I love Marcia's commment. "Your lovely". She is such a flirt. :D

[siamsabu]

The guy was the winner from this point..all round entertainer..brilliant!!

[dogboy23]

champion

[troobla]

Legend, absolute legend.

[iloveinah]

his signature hat reminds me of jay kay from jamiroquai. i like both their styles :)

[123chicken321]

ive found over the years that i can usually pick whose gonna win based on their auditions... based on their auditions this year my money was on either wes or mark to win, so i was pretty spot on!!! haha. good job wes!

[Travelfun4ever]

He Won 2008 Idol

[SU2Pher]

whats awsom is that hes my cousin...really

[toad00700]

who gives a fuk. that's a pathetic claim to fame. make you own name don't ride someone elses.

[wogla]

knew held win 1st time when i saw this audition

[somanydreams]

i want him to win so much more than Luke. This guy is true australian talent who has been wasting his life away in bars. WES FOR IDOL 2008!!!!!!!!!

WOOO

[oneclubonefamily]

This audition was fantastic, loved it.

[Corrupt140]

1:09

[MissNoOne128]

I hope Wes wins, I REALLY want him to! he deserves it.

[rubylovesmcfly]

if he doesnt win this competition the whole thing is rigged. he is absoloutly amazing, he hasnt had a bad performance yet, and i bet is original songs are wicked too.

fantastic.!

[dazzassj6]

shit, this guy blows me away everytime he performs!

[megustaverlas]

His guitar style reminds me of the NZ band Flights of the Conchords.

[rubylovesmcfly]

Wes Carr, reminds you, of flight of the conchords?

[megustaverlas]

What's wrong with that? The FOTC are great musicians!

[DC180]

Im not into australian idol at all But.. as its the bottom 3 now... i had a look and listen... Man.. if this guy doesnt win... The whole thing is rigged... he is a pro...compared to the other guys left ( Spano and Luke) he kills them. as i say.. i dont really like this show but this guy is fcking awesome.

[Hawthorn930]

DuDeMcDuDeZ123.

Go McHome Dude. Wes Carr is professional and he could make your ass play music! Probably a Teale Fan... lol.

[DuDeMcDuDeZ123]

wez ur so shit i could sing better with my ass

[SAVER1992]

obviousley he is not shit when every judge and guest judge said otherwise why would dicko say he is the best thing to walk into an audition he is in the top 3 fuck facen i guess we'll see you on idol next year cock s

ucker

[Rorzzz123]

yeh lets see you make top 3 on australian idol

[oskarthaman]

Dudemcdudelido: Well, Wes is the best musician i've ever heard. Your ass must be really talented then.

[rubylovesmcfly]

okay then see you auditioning for aussie idol, singing out of you ass, next year.

[zaccyo]

almost as good as spano's audish

[zombella666]

Either Wes or Spano should win!!

[greendayandu2rule]

it will be wes

[lost815lol]

[finnyliverpool]

aWESome

:P

[hillbillyjelly]

dude, dicko is 10000000% right, wes is the best thing that has EVER happend to idol. i am serious. i think he'll go far in his career.

[hennypenny89]

how cute is he

[healthhavencom]

"best thing ever to walk in to an idol audition"?

[canuckchick9]

wat do u think Casey donovan was, or maybe last yrs winner?! ........... wait i havent heard of them after that!!!!!!!

[healthhavencom]

The guy has musical skills no doubt but it just seems like he's stuck in some kind of a time warp. And voice is just ok.

[oskarthaman]

I guarantee you I have never seen anyone like this guy. There's no limits on this guy. All his performances are 110% and that will pay off ;) I think you are F*cking awesome! Best of wishes from Sweden.

[kaioshin02]

He's absolutely gonna win this competition!

[rg464]

Who let the KKK member comment below? Piss off. Wes is absolutely brilliant and performed perfectly. izzie889, why would you waste your time looking for a clip by a singer you don't like? Don't you have anything better to do? We should be grateful that people like Wes are on Aussie Idol who actually have song writing talent, are extremely modest and know how to entertain.

[rg464]

Who let the KKK member comment below? Piss off.

Wes Carr is the furthest thing from a tryhard, he's a brilliant performer who did especially terrific tonight, everything was perfect. Oh let me guess, izzie889 is one of those musically illiterate people who hasn't heard of jimi hendrix and prefers to listen to miley cyrus and the jonas brothers. Give me a break.

[izzie889]

Wes is a complete try-hard, stuckup loser.

[itsmethecurryman]

He may be tryhard but hes not a loser.

Every1 thought his performance this week was good. 'Black or white'- that song is probably MJ's worst. Marcia is the shittest judge ever- no advice, just 'u did a good job', even on shit performances- hope she gets booted off the blackfuck. Wes' dancing was good but not his performance. He shouldve sung 'Beat It' or 'Smooth Criminal'

[sansui77]

I think Wes is the man for 2008 idol. Not a doubt in my mind. No one comes close to him.

[shephma29y2j]

he has to win idol

[EvilBeavil]

great performance

hahaha play the video and click along the bottom at around like 1:08 where marcia says "jimmy!!" and it cuts off the first part of it.. sounds hilarious!!

[saskxoxo]

wes is awesome beyond words

[oskarthaman]

I've watched this so many times that I noticed a little funny thing in this video. Compare the shadows and her voice when she says "You're lovely" at 2:10 and 3:05. Really weird.

[finnyliverpool]

yeah they edited it back in huh.

[FreeMoneyDVD]

I love Wes' voice. He will go close to winning.

[greenovalfruit]

ROCK ON WES! Nicely done. Love from Angela, Lola and Vic

[fishfinga4]

He's very good. really knows his stuff.

[Hawthorn930]

Groovy Audition! He is so good :)

[jeno07]

WES IS AWESOME AND WES TO WIN YEWW

[ISilverchair]

man i luv wes!

ive been a fan of his since his band tambalane was formed in 2005 and everyone should get the album

[Hasapi99]

Ahh.. cant stop watching his audition! Its so catchy! Hope he does this on idol.

[michaellovegrove]

hes gonna win

[saskxoxo]

i wholeheartedly agree with Dicko

hes so special

[wogla]

i love his version beta than jimmies

[boringVandorsla]

If you like this song better acoustic than you should listen to it by Bob Dylan. He was the original artist of All Along The Watchtower.

Also, Wes is a great performer. I agree with Dicko, he is definitely the best thing to walk in Aussie Idol.

Bring it home Wes!

[Associatedfan]

too short

[lovelaz95]

Well, they can't really go on letting all of the, say, 20 000 auditionees play a full length song, can they? That would have to take weeks.

[rubylovesmcfly]

their audition is only meant to be short, otherwise it would take to long to get through all the auditonees

[lane8tergurl]

he's got something no other idol yet has had

[saije13]

That was just ... wow

He's probably my favourite in 'Idol' history♥

[emilyharder]

This guy is so cute and such a great singer...you guys have maybe 6 really talented singers in your final 12 this year which is awesome, love from Canada, Emily..

[ODASITY]

That is the best cover of Jimmy & really any song that ive ever heard!! He's uffin awesome!!
