Tom Williams - Final 11 - Australian Idol 2008

[LadyShadowDragon]

Cindy Lauper! lol

[milkenobi]

His best dance move is swapping the microphone with his hands. It's hard to watch youngens barely keep their head above water in a professional environment. Kyle was a wanker, Marsha was a softie but Dicko REALLY nailed it. It was a really weak performance but he was pretty young so I feel sorry for him.

[eugenit]

somebody kows the name of this song?

[Phughy]

@eugenit uptown girl by billy joel

[paperpug43]

i personally think this is what a 16 or w/e year old should sound like.

none of that justin bieber highpitch junk :)

[chicken8wings]

wow this song stirs up some childhood memories.

[GlowinManagement]

This kid has SERIOUS song choice issues! He needs some proper guidance on song choice so can learn what works and what won't work with his voice!

[bjmob66]

i love this kid,.but this was woefull..

[danoskan]

it was okay performance i cudve done it better

[davidau2x]

Can we please see the video which proves that?

[tazzii92]

ha ha ha ha i am the same age as him and i still look at im n say .. AAWW aint he cute .. lmao ..

[dare2dream0728]

I think he needs to learn how to move on stage a little better. He kind of just walks around looking awkward.

[suger249]

good song, didnt like the judges oppinions though even if they were right.

but yeah his cute

x

[BeachGirl452]

OMG THIS IS LIKE ONE OF HIS BEST ONES

[davidau2x]

He only needs to open his mouth and he sounds awesome! I bet he even snores in tune!

[BeachGirl452]

HAHAHA he probably does

[davidau2x]

I've got a few photos of the rehersal, mainly of Tom. If I can find somewhere to upload them I'll share the link with you so that you can download them. There's a couple of good ones with him being totally natural.

[BeachGirl452]

OMG that'd be great thanks!!!

[CHAZZYbabes007]

OMFG this one is awesome..

[Rach5492]

he's awsome

[Age13IQ500]

Guess what?

I go 2 the same skool as him!

[TheTrickyTrickster]

He was about to cry, theres that lump in his throat, called emotions ... poor kid

[benmeova19]

they did that same sort of crap to Archuleta on American Idol. Told him he needed to sing things other than ballads and then got all negative when he sang You're The Voice". AI did the same sort of stufff to Tom as they also did to Danny Noriega. This was not a bad performance- just not a good song choice for his vocal skills

[braez2]

im on this!

1 min 11 next to james heheh

:):):)

[ShazzaRose]

Hey, he still did pretty good considering!

Love you Tommy Williams!

Good luck!

[XDDDDDDo]

oi if anyone get the mondays eviction can u some how send it 2 me i really wanna see it.

ahah i wanna see how that girl hugged him n like when insane n wouldnt let go. n him talking 2 ricci lee. ahaha

thanks :)

[dianaisthebest]

a very average singer he is ntohing else

[Gna1000]

he's average but aussie idol is looking for beyond average

[rickyraddcore]

he isn't to bad!

but he definitly should not still be there!!

i totally agree with kyle.

agree

[mcfly19807]

aw dont be mean to him hes lovely

[stevenj02]

i cringe when i hear this

aweful

he should go.

he tries to copy matt corby with the hair.

and his voice is fairly shit.

[davidau2x]

Not according to the judges is there anything wrong with his voice otherwise he wouldn't have made it through the auditions. And "copy matt corby". Just about every person under 40 copies somebody with hair, fashion, likes and dislikes. There are very few true individuals out there. Nobosy wants to stand out from the crowd and most young people copy each other.

[shaungarret]

not good..

[davidau2x]

Of course, most of us don't agree with you; but Mark? If he loved himself anymore; he would be pregnant!

[laurababe101]

seriously he has to go. He isn't neraly as good as the rest of the singers, he isn't ready. GO MARK SPANO!

[shannenloveszacefron]

I LOVE HIM SOOOOOO MUCH! SO GLAD HE DIDNT GET VOTED OUT!! I THAUGHT HE DID A GREAT JOB BUT IT WAS SAD TO SEE BROOKE GO :(

loveyouheapstomx

[peeps2021]

his preformances are always better the second and third and forth and.... 700th time you watch them!!!

but i think he did a great job!

he is cute and can sing.. one word.. perfect.

xx

[iHartMusicGrl]

i agree with u. he's perfect and so cute! lol! =D

[peeps2021]

lol.. i agree with me too.. :P lol.

i am happy to see ppl supporting tom.

hes a good kid.

x

[dianaisthebest]

would you little girls stop voting for him he's horrible

[davidau2x]

Why should your opinion anymore valued than those who love the little character to bits?

[QueenLittleMissEvil]

he's not horrible. He sang it pretty well except for that really high notes on the whoa-oh-oh's on the bridge. It just wasn;'t fun or interesting or captivating to watch.

[poolofelectrium]

thats right his pitch vocals are terrible,he should have gone weeks ago!

[mcfly19807]

fuck you, we are going to vote for him as much as we want,

stop being a ass hole and leave him alone

[marcellin20a]

his fans are his own worst enemy by keeping him there. All they are doing is just accumulating more stress and anxiety for the little boy.He is weak in character because of his sickness and it certainly is not suited to the pressures of idol.

[QueenLittleMissEvil]

I think he is feeling a bit rushed by the whole thing.

[GOTTAluvvmMee]

he got into da top 10 only because he was cute.. i think... i think the judges are right, he need to step up more.

[IYHGWA]

like ryan said he is far away from dean geyer

[domiw1]

It was quite a bad performance. I like Tom, he's a cute guy and he can sing, but this just wasn't very good.

It did seem like he almost had to cry or something when he got the negative comments, I did feel sorry for him there.

But I hope he'll have a better performance next week. I'm sure he can do better.

[michael9678727]

that was really bad, it makes people who hate idol feel justified.

[brunofarias]

people, please, you're being rude. he is not THAT bad! ok, he might not be the most talented on the show, but he's not a bad singer. take it easy guys, he's just a kid.

[marcellin20a]

hes just a kid...another reason why he shouldn't be there.

[antyo]

Hes going to get through on a sympathy vote.

[davidau2x]

"sympathy vote"? What are you on about? Australians are voting for him because they like him. He got into the Top 12 because Australians voted him in. 3 Judges, who have obviously got a great eye for talent put him in the Top 24. "sympathy vote"? You can't be serious?

[Salemaniac1]

Exactly. When a judge is harsh with a contestant, people tend to vote more out of sympathy to keep the contestant in. Anyone who has watched AI for even 1 season, let alone all 6, knows this. Still, he shouldn't be there in the first place. Even he knows this and has said it. Silly little tweens voting on looks and not talent. He is far too young, cannot sing in pitch and cannot handle pressure. The people voting for him are his own worst enemy.

[marcellin20a]

why vote for someone who doesn't have the most essential skills as an artist? -singing .

That was a train wreck. His mum should be partly to blame for pushing his ill health son into the spotlight. Also what a lame excuse. Everyone sings 60s/bigband and the year they were born. Just pathetic. He need to go for the sake of him and his fans. Just keeping him there will make him suffer more stress and pain in the spotlight.

[xpsuperduper]

why do you even bother? comment & hating on stuff.. why watch it if you don't even like him? I don't think he's here because his mum is forcing him, obviously he really wants it.

[marcellin20a]

its called a democracy where You tube provides a medium for people to express themselves including those that do not agree with you and your deluded fans.

[cuddlebunnii]

Tom's gorgeous.

xx

[laughinglolly]

he did stumble a little bit at about 28 secs but its the stage performance that really counts. PLEASE VOTE FOR HIM AUSTRALIA NOW THERE IS STILL 5 HOURS UNTIL THE VOTING LINES CLOSE!! VOTES ARE ONLY 55c MAXIMUM!!!!!! CALL 19 10 10 TO VOTE FOR HIM!

[marcellin20a]

his stage performance was also a train wreck. Hes just wondering around like hes depressed and shit scareless. If he cant handle it then he shouldn't be there. The great thing about this performance is tha band and the back up singers.

[ryancass87]

he is the worst singer on this show. i hope he leaves this week

[davidau2x]

Why are you bothering to come here, amoung fans and then just troll? If you have got no constructive critism then go elsewhere! I'd like to see you or yours make the Australian Idol Top 11.

[ryancass87]

mate its not about giving constructive criticism here. we arent judges. they give the constructive criticism. we are the public and we are titled to an opinion. and a common opinion among MOST people today is that he has been extremely poor so far in this competition. he's only fan base will be young girls. and he is far from the talent of a dean geyer or more importantly mat corby. if this competition is about being the best singer/performer/entertainer. then he should not of even made this far

[Salemaniac1]

I didn't know this is "only for fans". You have not qualified that it is only for fans anywhere. Besides, YouTube is GLOBAL. This is not a fan forum. If you think it is, you uploaded to the wrong site.  Everyone and anyone can comment.

[davidau2x]

Sure; everybody can comment but I don't understand why somebody who isn't a fan would seek out Tom Williams and say something for the sake of being negative.

[fottahfilms]

because we are trying to branch out to the world (especially Australia) that Tom should not be on the show

This year is full of talent and he is pulling it down

fucking severely

[davidau2x]

If that's the case he'll get voted off won't he? The bottom three of the Top 11 were all crap.

[QueenLittleMissEvil]

the performance was a bit boring but he seemed at bit screechy on the high notes. I hope he develops a bit more stage presence.

[caseybaby91]

is there a recording just wen he sings?

[RamonesMinded]

I think uptown girl is a great song and tom is good but it didn't suit his low voice

billy joel can go high he can;t

[runningaway8]

who doesnt know that song?? everyone knows that song even if they werent born then!! hate to say i agree with the judges mostly...it just wasnt that good a performance

[ShezaL4eva]

i love this 2 bits i love him 2 bits!! up town girl...

thnkz 4 puttin this on

[jamaj003]

love you tommy!
