@HuErigerable: I agree, but to say all epic talented artists never make rubbish even once in their life... lol, I guess Peter Jackson does not exist.
Possibly the absolute worst cover and performance of all time.
Judges (other than Kyle): I love how you are so original and creative Bobby.
Frustrated viewer: He does the same fucking thing every week! He's not creative, he just picks a song and then does it in his style, no matter how inappropriate it is.

@theregulators2007 get over yourself, this is an awesome cover by an artist that i bet makes u sooo jealous coz he is so talented and ur.. well.... not
SuperFreak2004... Justice to the song? what the heck are you on about!? The song super freak itself is rubbish and definitely not a classic. Yet Bobby Flynn somehow made it sound beautiful.
Bobby Flynn is one of the few idols that gets a song and turns it into their own.. rather then just merely sing karaoke. This was another example of pure musical genius
@Teolive I just had another look, Na mate the song dosen't suit the slow tempo, dont like it at all. So if you think that was pure musical genius then its an F from me.
Heard about this performance but have only just just seen it on here, and I have to say it was a rubbish rendition of a classic song by a great performer in Rick James. The guy might be an ok singer but he did no justice to this song sorry to say.
He did what no other idol really could do; Take a great song and make it their own. What was good about bobby flyn's performances is that he stood out. He wasnt just reciting other peoples music. I think it was mark's comment, when he said " You just made it ok to sing one of the dirtiest songs ever made on Australian television." So if you still think it didnt do rick james justice... then keep living in the past.
He so should have won that year... I went to see him in brisbane a couple years ago and he was freaking Brilliant!!! Natural Raw Talent. You rock mate!
i have seen it all. Superfreak turned into a reggae/ska song....It is absolutely brilliant. if you are going to do a cover you need to do it like this
what i think is there are 2 types of singers: singers who have wonderful voice n mucisians.
Those who have wonderful voice, but no/lack talent of writing their own songs (maybe they can write a few, but not the whole albums), they rely on song writers to write songs for them, which may not be 100% match with their characters all the time in all songs. Examples: guy sebastian, mariah carey, whitney houston, etc. They can wow ppl with their voice, but not in all their songs, only some
the second type is mucisians. They are by heart and soul live to create songs. They write songs, play instruments, have nice voice, and UNIQUE CHARACTERS & VOICE. Ppl belong to this category are: The Beatles, Bobby Flynn, Wes Carr.
What i think is, good voice is not enough to be the best of the best. Cos as they are lack capabilities / don;t write all songs for themselves + less capabilities in music compare to the mucisian type, it might be harder for them to adjust (continue to part 3)
[part 3] n put the songs which the songwriters wrote for them. On the other hand, mucisians master musical instruments, how to record their stuffs, the technology, techniques, etc so they can decide what the song is gonna be like, what instrument and which type they are gonna use, how to make each of their songs unique.
This type is more resistant through different era (e.g. the beatles recorded about 13 albums+2CD n most of the songs are hits! -> 25 years). [continue to part 4]
they are more adaptable and have ability to survive through different era but still stay to their characters. Say, The Beatles' first and last album are quite different, but you know they are stay to their character but not boring/monotonous. NOONE can sing their songs like them, eventhough ppl try to copy them, why? cos its THEIR songs, originally made by them, to suit their characters n need perfectly.
Thats the thing with bobby flynn (mucisian) and guy sebastian (good singer)
eh. regardless of what others are saying, i completely agree with you. anyone can sing but it takes absolute soul and beauty to be as amazing as bobby flynn. it's not just about the voice.
Best version... Pure genius!!!
