Stan Walker - Umbrella - Australian Idol 2009 Top 12

[irrevenant3]

Yeah, I gotta go Guy Sebastian as probably the most talented Idol ever too, though Lisa Miller, Anthony Callea, Shannon Noll and Jessica Mauboy are very good at what they do, too.

And if we're talking "talented" rather than popular, I suspect some very good talent got cut early because they didn't fit into Idol's ludicrous "you have to be able to sing all styles of music to be considered marketable" approach.

[pennye100]

u can defintly stand under my unbrella a a a

[Kiwianabananarama]

One whole year of being our Idol! He's still pretty amazing! xo

[thehomefront]

long body with short legs and a big head, got the voice tho.

[hismajesty653]

what an awesome ending

[Kiwianabananarama]

[carlajadee1]

[1ly4ya]

gosh, don wanna ruin anyone's mood but gotta wonder: s he gay????????????????Anyway he s a really great singer luv him!

[jobobenigno]

@1ly4ya - does it really matter if he is or isnt?

[LittleBlackkbox]

Such talent. your the best stan! your voice is excelent as i always say! i cant belive you got so far!

[trezz75]

farout! when and how does his sexuality matter?...you need to mind your own business and enjoy his voice TheMattvd1, gees!!

[jobobenigno]

@trezz75 - way to go!

[TheMattvd1]

is he gay?

[wittywooba]

no! does he look gay? gosh

[OompaLoompa211]

@wittywooba he may not be gay...but you can't deny, he does look really HOMOSEXUAL. even if hes not.

[wittywooba]

he may look it, but hes pretty manly lol...nothing like the personality of a gay..r u gay???:S

[barefootcapegirl]

@wittywooba Dude, there isn't any set 'gay personality', there's a lost of variation. Some people have 'gay' mannerisms but are just effeminate and straight, and others have no 'gay mannerisms' but are pretty gay.

[wittywooba]

im soo confused bout what you told me,i dont even know what mannerisms is lol......:S

[FLTH13]

@wittywooba F#%k hes NOT gay man so get the f#%k over it.

[wittywooba]

wtf freak! i wasnt even saying he was gay..i was trying to say hes far from it....:S

[FLTH13]

@wittywooba F#%k hes NOT gay man so get the f#%k over it.

[CatrionaNC]

@OompaLoompa211 WTF does his sexual preference have to do with anything?

[jobobenigno]

@OompaLoompa211 - why is it such a big deal?

[rawiniah]

whether he's gay or not - doesn't matter, they're merely labels and detracts from who he is. when stan sings - he makes me stop and listen, he conveys. His voice is melodic - mesmerising. His is the entertainment of song - and I believe his performances live are his best. That he's walked a hard life is evident in every heart felt lyric as is the hope - and that is magic. xxx

[rchlboyd]

awsome song choice

[Neighboursobsessed12]

@hasher22 lmaooo actually I wasn't first audition he looked like a plastic gay haha and still your avoiding everything I say where is your proof his gay? If you can't answer that don't even make an argument lmao cus all I see is blah blah blah u talk alot of shit but u can't back it up ahah

[ShayneWallaceENT]

@Neighboursobsessed12

Bro.Go play with your penis while watching Stan Walkers videos okay.We all know you want anal with him.Get over it your gay and he's not,owell to bad move along you'll find another guy who IS gay.

[Kiwianabananarama]

@ShayneWallaceENT Bro!!...you need to read properly...neighboursobsessed1­2 is defending Stan!..lol

[ShayneWallaceENT]

@Kiwianabananarama

I was high then okay.

[Kiwianabananarama]

@ShayneWallaceENT whatever...lmao!

[ShayneWallaceENT]

@Kiwianabananarama

Lol.I know i was all shit.

[Neighboursobsessed12]

@ShayneWallaceENT LMAOOO can i say fail whale...BIG TIME...firstly i never said he was gay im the one saying his isnt gay, and no i dont want anal with him, and secondly IM A GIRL LMAOOOOOO

[macknificent100]

@Neighboursobsessed12 Girls like anal!

[plinky937]

saw him sing this song last saturday brillant live!!!

[Bulree1]

kia kaha...we are rooting for ya to explore and enjoy your journey.....

[Kiwianabananarama]

mmm...love hearing him sing this at his concerts...yayy for Stan...you go boi!! xo

[rustydevilll]

lol

you hating australians need to get over yourselfs

just because you can't win your own idol

KIWI'S FOR THE WIN.

hahaha i bet ill get hated on this but i don't give a shit

[methodsin01]

That comment will just incite more hate comments.

"Melbourne born" - quoted from one of the aus idol episodes. He has the kiwi blood, but australian born. But who cares, its about the voice not the heritage.

Im an Aussie and I say awesome entertainer. His voice soars but his head seems to stay grounded. Worthy to be on stage to rep both aus and nz.

[rustydevilll]

he said himself he will never be known as australian

someone who is maori cannot be australia

thats like saying an aborigine is american... NOT POSSIBLE.

[hasher22]

is he gay? Seriously because all through australian idol his singing girl songs. I mean nothing wrong with that. 1 is enough but he sange, miley, alicia keys and now rihanna... bleh....

[infomusbeatz]

he aint gay.hes jus hardout out there

[br1malhpm]

ye have u seen his missus lol??..

[banjofactory]

he aint gay hes just fricken awesome! kiwis like to be different

[joshiscool1989]

@hasher22 Sorry, did he win the competition or not? No he's not gay, my girlfriend goes to church with him.

[hamishturnbull]

Just cus someone goes to church doesn't mean he's not gay? Don't be so narrow minded...

I wouldn't care if he's gay or not, he's hot as!

[joshiscool1989]

Didn't say he wasn't gay because he went to church. My girlfriend is good friends with him and that's how I know he's not gay.

[rustydevilll]

@hasher22 actually

if you want to be a smart ass.....

how can you mend a broken heart, eye of the tiger, hallelujah, think of me, lets stay together, ordinary people, purple rain, lets stay together, amazing grace

ARE NOT FEMALE SONGS

don't be a sexist prat.

he was trying to be appealing to all people.

As for mileys song the climb.

stan is NOT the only male who has covered it.

[hasher22]

@rustydevilll

those male songs.....still gay even for male songs

[rustydevilll]

lmao says the person who has the gayest singer on his page

anthony calea and paula deanna? LOL.

you probably don't know any of the songs i named not to mention ignorant

[hasher22]

lol u had to search my profile just to try get a come back. I dont really care its about Stan being gay not whats in my profile. U fail at proving a point.

his still gay. I know anthony callea is gay but at least his out of the closet. This guy isnt, come out already.

I bet u were one of those people when anthony was in the closet "OMG HIS NOT GAY! BLAH BLAH BLAH" and when he came out "oh that shut me up"

haha stan is going to be the same

[Neighboursobsessed12]

@hasher22 wheres your proof? hard evidence his gay> you have none you saying Stan is gay is like me saying your gay no proof at ALL..Stan is a man of God you understand that him singing a girsl song doesnt make him gay ROFL your an idiot man, i know for fact Stan isnt gay and im so sorry he is never gonna come out of the closes i know that means you cant get with him but doesnt stop you from wanking over him in your room LOL now go back to your little fag callea

[hasher22]

@Neighboursobsessed12

look at u talking it up, haha his gay...callea is gay and good for him. I bet ur one of those people that were like "omg anthony is so not gay" when later down the track he came out....hahaahahaha.....

look at u trying to diss me over the internet.......how pathetic. All i see is blah blah blah hahahahha

[EN9N3]

Obviously you don't have a girlfriend why you think those songs are gay, and the first thought of gay, was from you. you know that old saying "IT TAKES ONE TO KNOW ONE". Only Stan Walker had a audience meaning he had a reason, What Bout You..lol

[hasher22]

gay audience and little teenie boppers

[misspreciouspup]

Awesome !!!!

[beansrule]

he is probably the most talented "idol" ever.

[LuLu1743123]

@beansrule agreed, him and kelly clarkson

[userpipe]

@beansrule matt corby isnt too far off

[tauheke]

Jeez I dont care if he was a two headed purple Martian, just admit it... the young man can entertain and SING!!!!

[carmellomarshmello1]

okay okay. just olivia coming in here. i think its stupid for anyone to be making accusations about people being gay or lesbian ayy. you dont know them, and for a fact stan was nearly going to be a father, and he wants a wife and 7 children, so dont go saying shit like that, coz ur know your going to be beat, by all the stan walker lovers around the world. stan is an extrodinary person, so humble, sweet, loving, fun, and sexy. love your juju lips. xx

[Neighboursobsessed12]

@EPA91 your really just an old man with no life...sorry

[madmaltesa]

the chick with cat sounds alittle obsessive :S

[Neighboursobsessed12]

Ahhh but their is no point saying that cus he isn't gay have you not read anything about him...he had a gf and now he wants a WIFE with 7 Kids LOL and preferably beyonce so their is no point saying that

[EPA91]

im a kid too by your logic since im younger than him. im just sayin he is gay, nice voice, but gay

[darkheartstrings]

if he was gay, would there be any problem?

[EPA91]

nope, but im a youtube trol who likes to say " its fake and gay "

[sasuKAHNuchiha]

i like to say your a fag EPA91 ahahah jealous fag

[EPA91]

btw, i like to say you are a 11-14 year old girl who plays with penis, i mean dildos.

[liatjetta]

[mwahrko]

[saintfletcher]

Beware of CDMAs from Freemantle Media and YouTube as they are pulling down any uploads at all that are not owned by Freemantle. Already, various fireworks uploads of Australian Idol have been CDMA's, that is, Australia Idol is banning any photos or videos of fireworks. Be careful, they are being pulled down as we speak...

[Sonicisunleashed2008]

Did you see his face the split second he won!!?!??!?!?!?1?1?!? PRICELESS

[Kiwianabananarama]

oH YEA!! HES SUCH A HUMBLE DUDE.....CONGRATZ MY BRUTHA!!!

[mageworrior]

[MrsColbyODonis28]

[liatjetta]

Noticed that Stan has slimmed down since this video. He is now hot property, and good on him. As Michael Buble indicated, he couldn't mentor Stan, because he is so good. Looks good also

[DonnaKamla]

Loser comments on here make me laugh cause they show their jealousy an lack of confidence; oh an can those losers sing? Hahaha they'd shit an piss their pants on stage

[JulzBaybee09]

Stan is the ONLY idol that goes out of his comfort zone and is by far the MOST versitile and thats what makes a great artist. Through any element at him and he'll make somehting out of it. Critics talk SMACK 4 words for ya PHARK WHAT YHU HEARD!!! GOOOOO STANN

[vandal919]

i don't really get the appeal of stan... his performances and voice are just all so one-dimensional for me.

[arsenalsuc101]

[Exzist211]

hav u herd tha otha sonqz hez dun? u dnt kno shitt hahh hez tha man and hez frm New Zealand by tha way

take it owt cuz!

[Yuke1976]

You just said it youself then. They have to source talent pool from the Kiwis now!? Seriously compared to other clips from American Idol, look at Adam Lambert etc. totally different league...AI never produces any true talent except Guy Sebastian. It's just a fact, if you don't like facts then bugger off, free speech mate. Free speech.

[cairnssunshine]

He was born in Melbourne, but grew up in NZ

[kissmyARToxo]

[anonxerenrichment]

[cicibaubau7]

no sure about your message ... but the ppl here are talking about ignoring some guys/haters ....

no one is talking about ignoring Stan ....

most that come here love stan :)

[loggie4eva]

Love this! he did a great job.

[SafuneChick]

I agree to ignoring him. The more we talk about him, the more confident he gets to continue. Talking about him, is exactally what he wants.

So if you see him, just pretend he aint there!!!  Lol.

But anyways, GO STAN. AOTEAROA HARD!!!

[geno0607]

anyone else think filthyrich just hates himself coz HE is secretly gay

[IAmJustSuperman]

And you say him and Nathan are gay.. you're the one basically asking to have gay sex with him.

You're kinda lame posting hate comments all over the place.. Especially when these people are gonna be paid to do what they love.

Please come again.

[IAmJustSuperman]

He's not even part nigger. Nigger is a word used for Africans and African Americans etc. He is Maori. How do you know Nathan likes it up the ass? Have you tried it with him? I believe he has a girlfriend of 3 years. Nothing Else Matters - Metallica, Purple Rain - Prince Girly songs? Oh how I disagree. He has sang 3 girls songs.. 1 because he had to. The other 2 are popular songs, songs which he did justice. Take your hate somewhere else.

[IAmJustSuperman]

Wow you're cool. Stan is hardly a nigger. He is brown. Not black there is a big difference you colour-blind douche. Nathan Brake. Not Nathan Blake. He has an awesome voice! Kate Cook may be lesbian.. And she is in no ways my favourite.. (that would be stan the man) but she actually has some good songs... Also.. If she is lesbian why would she use her dildo to Eff Nathan Brake up the arse.

Your comment is stupid, not thought out and makes you look like a muppet, :)

Have a nice day

[cicibaubau7]

yes IAJS

I feel sorry for him .... maybe we should be compassionate and understand that this person has not a decent life in own country and is trying to communicate that to all of us here in Australia .... Anyway I reported him and hopefully he'll be blocked soon .... for the time being just ignore him please.... everyone ignore him :)

[IAmJustSuperman]

The sad part about reporting him though, is that he can just make another account. They need to send a magical bullet via email or something right to him.. and hope it goes through his brain. It won't kill him.. By the looks of it he hardly uses his brain.

[cicibaubau7]

if we all ignore him he'll go away.... he's notoriuos around Australian Idol vids... he did this on Guy's vids too.... he obviously has some real interpersonal issues ... and what a Filthy Mouth.... he has my piety though :)

[IAmJustSuperman]

It is rather sad how he does that. Such a shame that people can't appreciate true talent.

Who've you got to win idol this year?

[cicibaubau7]

I really love Stan ... some even called obsessed but that's ok :)

Last night performance was so upseting

:( he pulled it through though with his usual talent so I still would him to win :)

Hayley is the bomb! and within the girls she's my favourite! :)

[IAmJustSuperman]

Yeah Stan is the man!! he's my favourite.

And Hayley is my favourite girl!

But good luck to them all.

[cicibaubau7]

I'm warning you guys that FilthyRich is copying and pasting his comment all over australian idol video....

if anyone knows how to report this kind of abusive comments could you please let me know? I'll take responsability for reporting him :) thanks

[riverssid]

im sorry to say he doesnt suit in skinny's his too built for it.

his very talented , he can really reach those high notes

[BeeMusic93]

who cares what his wearing, sorry just saying

[peyrouxt]
