DISQUS

Tara · 2 years ago

I couldn't care less what she sings. I just want her to cut out the false humility act. It makes me want to stomp on her toes or sommat *g*

Mythor · 2 years ago

You could probably stomp on her head, she's tiny!
And yeah, it's all bullshit. Her only saving grace is that at least she's stopped praising Jebus for her meager abilities!

i get this uncanny feeling that you're only spitting this rubbish out here cos she's black...excuse me, did you say "better looking"...oops, i think you must have meant "more caucasian"..freaking racist! what? you must feel threatened by seeing a talented, eloquent and confident black female? she is a talented singer and has her own unique style, she gets up there and she works that stage. she's very engaging and is definitely a breath of fresh air to the australian idol scene. quite frankly, she's the only one on the show i'm interested in watching... i don't pay much attention to anyone else there, why? cos they don't stand out. to the author of this sorry piece of trash, try "regurgitating", or whatever nonsense word you choose to use, whitney houston and or tina turner and see how far you go with it. ....oh, and please post it here when you're done so we can all have a good laugh watching it.

gosh. she should win australian idol, if only to spite folks like you. she's the only one i have personally voted for in australian idol and i will continue to do so. and you best believe there are tonnes of people out there who share the same sentiments. now go eat your heart out =)

but then again, for every remarkable person, there's like a thousand dimwits on their case, so why am i even bothering with you?

as for you mythor, or whatever you call yourself, may God forgive you. that is all i can say to you.

Mythor · 2 years ago

The white people don't stand out, but the black person amongst the white people stands out?
And I'm racist? Hmmmmmmm. :)

If I had meant "more caucasian", I would have said so. Put her next to Natalie Gauci and ask people to choose who is better looking and I'd put good money on Natalie winning. Maybe I'm wrong and more people consider Tarisai attractive. I find that difficult, but not impossible, to believe. Attraction is a very personal thing.
Immediately suggesting that someone finding other people more attractive means they're racist makes it apparent where you're coming from, though.

In any event, I see many talented, eloquent and confident black females, even if you only count singers - try Beyoncé Knowles or... *gasp*... Whitney Houston and Tina Turner. Or if you want to restrict it to Idol finalists, how about Jessica Mauboy from last season?
Tarisai is not of their caliber. Her single "talent" is to be a less impressive clone of Whitney Houston or Tina Turner. That is not a unique style! It's ridiculous that you even think she has her own style when it's apparent to a lot of folks that she most assuredly does not. She's a cover artist and that's all she'll ever be.

As for whether I can do it? No, of course I can't. I've never claimed otherwise. That hardly invalidates my argument. That's like saying your criticism of me is invalid because my writing style is better than yours. Your criticism is invalid because you're full of shit, your pathetic writing standard just makes you look even more foolish. :)

God won't forgive me. Firstly because having an opinion on a singer in a karaoke contest is not something He is going to care about. Secondly, he won't forgive me because that would require I repent of my sins - and I refuse. I am proud to have committed certain sins against God and he would know it.
Thirdly, and most importantly, he won't forgive me because he doesn't exist. I'm sure you'd agree that's a pretty big sticking point, but you'd have to pull your head out of your arse long enough to realise it first, I suppose.

Keith · 2 years ago

You say she is not beautiful, you are right in your eyes. Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Ask any black person they will tell you she is a gem, she has it all! She fits an african definition of beautiful. Many men would bet their last dollar for her. Simple, this goes to show how caucansian and black differ in their perception of beauty. For example, in general, a beautiful caucassian is a blonde haired skinny tall girl with "fair" features on face; Black beauty incoperates the African glow, body curves/structure with a fair bit of flesh and good skin texture - and Tarisai has that. So basing your argument on beauty is a non starter.

Secondly, a lot has been said on her character as fake. African culture allows you to be yourself as much as you can in private or with friends, but when you come to adults or a public arena there is a requirement of dignity and respect. One of those is to take criticism constructively and not speak back! This cultural thing is inbuilt and becomes a lifestyle. And this is Tarisai portraying those on idol. On the contrary, caucasians have a liberty to swear, speak their minds back to their parents etc of which it is taboo to black people.

In conclusion I will say the idol competition has reached that level where cultural/racial/tribal (not necessarily racist) values determine the progress of the contestants. Sad on Tarisai cause she might be a minority and might leave not because she is bad, but certain things just wont change

Mythor · 2 years ago

Basing your argument on the colour of my skin is the only "non starter" here.

Jess · 2 years ago

Tarisai opened the flood gates last night when she kept bringing up that she was angry because people were calling her fake.
LMAO it is about time someone made her say something other then "thank you", seriously it was driving me insane.
I think kyle hit the nail on head when he told her that she is different back stage to when she is getting criticize after her performances and just hides behind "Thank you".
Another thing that is annoying about her is that she is so *thinks* conceited. That comes through most of all when she is performing. I think its important to have confidence but there should be a balance between confident and conceited... or she can hide it a little better like the really famous musicians lol.

I hope Tarisai Vushe gets her butt kicked off the show tonight. I like the rest and if she gets kicked off maybe she will start to do some soul searching... she will probly only find that it was all "MARK AND DICKO" fault. Heaven forbid that god might have created people who don't like her

Mythor · 2 years ago

That whole section was hilarious. I wish I could upload it to YouTube but it'd get yanked I suspect, even though it would be fair use.
Mark and Dicko goaded her repeatedly and she still kept prefacing her remarks with not meaning offense, etc. It was pretty clear that Mark and Dicko were trying as hard as they could to get a real reaction out of her but she's just too fake to give one.
Utterly pathetic!

Ireen · 2 years ago

I understand that poeple have diffrernt views/opinions on the contestants of Australian idol.If you say she ain't good enough 4 ya liking then fine,leave it at that.If u are proud to be a sinner then have fun in HELL.I cannot stand peopple who ridicule GOD."do not be decieved God is not mocked.For watever man sows he shall also reap".....I hope you will be wise enough to realise the depth of your stupid statements and repent while it is day because when night comes there aint nothing you are going to be able to do abt them.It will be too late.Just leave God out of this for your own's sake.

About Australian idol.Its just a show.take a deep breath and relax.....Its not all there is to life.IT ALSO DON'T MATTER WHICH ONE IS PRETTIER...we are all different and that is what makes us unique...!!!

Only an uneducated person would put up an arguement over a silly issue like this.Grow up.Get a life or better yet get yourself a better job.

May the Lord have mercy on your soul

Ireen · 2 years ago

Just give up...yo arguments are totaly invalid

Ireen · 2 years ago

You wouldn't know what respect is even if it hit u like a stone.Take it from me...mainly because im African and Zimbabwean to be specific.....What she showed up there to the judges was nothing but respect.Don't ever expect a well brought up African girl to talk back or even argue with her elders.Its unheard of.But then again, don't take advantage of the respect u being showed because in private she sure can bite yo heard off.Bottom line,if u guys have no respect for your elders thatz your own cup of tea.Just don't think we are going to copy your lousy style just for the sake of fame.It don't work like that.
Im not just sticking up for her simply because she is zimbabwean.Im defending her because your ignorance pisses me off.
She has her dignity and that u are not going to take away from her nomatter how many times you may refer to her a FAKE.
Its reeally a waist of time arguing with people like u....
I have said it once and i'll say it again>>GET YOSELF A BETTER JOB....>>> coz u sure ain't good at this one.

Ireen · 2 years ago

Seriously i dunno wat to tell ya.What u are doing here is like making fun of someone who is mentally ill.
Its not her fault that she aint tall...
I don't know u and i don't like u.....SERIOUSLY.

Mythor · 2 years ago

It's all very well to respect your elders but it is absurd to respect them when they do things unworthy of it. Mark and Dicko were being deliberately cruel to her and she continued to put on the fakie-polite persona.
Then when she was backstage and figured anything shot wouldn't go to air, she tried to let Mark have it. Talking back and even arguing with her elder, like you say she would never do. Hmm, I wonder why people would think she's fake?

And let me get this straight, only Africans can show respect? Because that's what you're implying.
And FYI, for all you know I'm from Zimbabwe as well. Imbecile. Neither of our nationalities has anything to do with our opinion of Tarisai, nor does it affect our ability to be polite or impolite. As a Zimbabwean you ought to know all about the capacity of your people for utterly disgusting behaviour.

Fortunately, unlike you, I'm not assuming you're just like Robert Mugabe because you're from the same country. Funny how the person big on respect can't show respect for others, isn't it?

Mythor · 2 years ago

As I already pointed out above, "the Lord" is not going to have mercy on me, if he even exists. Please, learn your fucking religion if you're going to preach it to others. One of the key tenets of earning God's forgiveness is that you MUST REPENT OF YOUR SINS. If you do not repent then you will not be forgiven.

If I'm going to Hell then at least I'll be in good company.

Mythor · 2 years ago

I never said it was her fault that she's short. That, since you apparently couldn't tell, was a joke.

And oh, I'm crushed, some random internet troll doesn't like me. I think I'll go cry now.

vaxwell · 2 years ago

Actually, I disagree. Making fun of someone who is mentally ill is cruel because more often than not, they can't understand that you're making fun of them and they can't fight back.

Whereas, tall people make fun of short people and short people make fun of tall people. Fat people make fun of skinny people and visa versa. But all of those idiots are able to stand up for themselves.

Your similies aren't particularly similar. *raises an eyebrow*

Jen · 2 years ago

Keith,

Where do you get your resources from?

"For example, in general, a beautiful caucassian is a blonde haired skinny tall girl with “fair” features on face".

Your statement is hardly a valid one compared to say a universal perception of beauty according to sociobiologists like Buss & Schmitt (1993). They suggest that full lips, hourglass figure, clear big eyes, lustrous shiny hair, symmetry, and clear smooth skin are beautiful features. I believe Tarisai some of those features except for lustrous hair and symmetry, but I still dont find her attractive, your comment about the ideal caucasian really comes down to personal taste.

However, Im so glad that wanabe diva Tarisai was booted off Australian Idol, she has a limited range as a singer and yes she would make a fantastic Whitney/ Tina cover artist as mythor said in an earlier post.

She is an obnoxious little girl, I only hope she grows out of this phase. Personally I believed Tarisai was getting way to big for her boots, she thought that a great voice would carry her to the end, but that just shows how naive she really is.

lookatme · 2 years ago

this is AUSTRALIA not africa she was competing to be the next AUSTRALIAN idol not the next african idol if she wants to be all african then she should go back to africa and not complain when aussie dont like her african ways. AUSTRALIANS largly see her as fake thats the way we are if you dont like it well you know what you can do. you dont wanna change we dont wanna change deal with it!

Anonymous · 2 years ago

Mythor I just have one question for you I really dont want to contest nething you have said bcoz its all pretty deep. By that I mean somethings you have said are pretty mean and hurtful (and im saying that with the deepest respact for you). Why are you so angry and spiteful towards Tarisai? It almost seems personal.

Ireen · 2 years ago

ohhh shut up if aint got nothing constructive to say here
i bet ya u never even got yo hsc because a person who did would understand were im coming from

Ireen · 2 years ago

believe wateva u want to believe. Just don't say nobody warned me when it comes to the judgement day.Peace.

Mythor · 2 years ago

Firstly, not every state even has the HSC. There's no shame in not having one!
Secondly, do you really want to criticise someone's intelligence when you're incapable of spelling even simple words or using the right version of words?

What vaxwell said was very constructive, you just don't like it because they completely tore apart your argument into itty bitty pieces and fed it to a cat. :-P

Ireen · 2 years ago

If you are from Zimbabwe as u claim then it only goes to show that you are jealous coz an opportunity like this is rare as YOU already know.
Simple as.....and the story ends here.Im not going to go all hardcore with my keyboard over other people's business coz i got mine to take care of.

Mythor · 2 years ago

Wow, I have your permission to believe what I want? Thanks ever so much.
How could I miss the warnings about Judgement Day? Mental midgets like yourself are telling us every damn day that everyone in the world is doomed to burn for all eternity, usually because some guys like to suck cock or something.

I'd welcome Judgement Day. It'd be a respite from prats like you.

Mythor · 2 years ago

I didn't claim to be from Zimbabwe. I merely pointed out that attempting to use your country of birth as a bludgeon against others when you don't even know what country they're from is really, really stupid.

The opportunity to appear on Idol isn't rare, they hold auditions every year and tens of thousands of people show up. That's not rare!

Ireen · 2 years ago

You have no idea how yo stupid statement can be interpreted for the worst.You are totaly senseless,UNEDUCATED as well as ignorant.I don't hv anything to say to u.....people like u disgust me

Mythor · 2 years ago

Because she's a hypocrite and a fraud and there's more than enough of that on television these days.
I don't know her personally, just what I see on TV. And some of that is pretty darn ugly. Maybe the show is bringing out the absolute worst in her, but that doesn't tend to be the case...

Mythor · 2 years ago

Again with the uneducated comments. You can't even spell "totally"! Give it a rest.

Besides, I thought you had your own business to take care of? Is your business sticking up for fake people off the telly?

mandy · 2 years ago

she's fucking black and u want her to sing white songs? Get real.

Mythor · 2 years ago

No, I don't want her to, it was my contention that she can't do them justice as she does with Whitney/Tina. She's a very limited performer and she showed that with her lackluster performance on Sunday night - a performance which got her booted from the show!

If she could actually do songs outside that range she would be able to win Idol.

mandy · 2 years ago

fair enough

Steph · 2 years ago

Oh, Man. Who cares? She's out. She didn't have the goods and now she's out. That's it, that's the end of it. Maybe we can all get past this and look onto the remaining talent.

Ireen · 2 years ago

it is rare for a person from Zimbabwe to make it that far.Please don't bother arguing coz u have no idea where im coming from.Just let it rest.

Mythor · 2 years ago

Yes. It's also rare for an Eskimo to make it that far. Are we supposed to fall down and worship an Eskimo should one ever enter Australian Idol? Or is it okay to treat them on their merits?
If you want to let it rest, go away?

Ireen · 2 years ago

im sticking up for what i believe is true.and forgive me for spelling "Totally" wrong.It sure proves that im uneducated.Its funny though how Australia allows ***DUMB*** people who don't know what they are doing to study medicine at uni.

I must admit that u are the smart one.All the power to u.PEACE.

Ireen · 2 years ago

u must understand i come from africa.my english not very good.i cant know wat good words to use.me embarass myself on internet.

Mythor · 2 years ago

You don't stick up for what you believe in by abusing people. You didn't address what the person said, you simply attacked them.

I never said you were uneducated, I was pointing out that you're constantly criticising others for their lack of education, while displaying less than stellar communication skills of your own.
You're the one who made people's education, or lack thereof, an issue. When you do that you are inviting the comparison to your own intelligence... or lack thereof.

calvin · 2 years ago

mythor get real get a life and stop critising other people when iyour messges show that you are a nobody.

Mythor · 2 years ago

I am real, I have a life and even nobodies are allowed to criticise, as you so eloquently demonstrated.

JR · 2 years ago

Move on. She's not even Aussie

Adrian · 2 years ago

This was an old post of course, but it looks like there is some implied racism here, which is actually fairly rare.

She is utterly gorgeous, far better looking than the others that were there, but there are better looking people in the world. But I guess I am one of these weird people that finds people of all races attractive, and just judge them individually.

She had a heavenly voice though.

JANICE · 1 year ago

She is not Aussie, but surprisingly she made it into top ten. Big up Tarisai, Im so proud of you. As for you Mythor, If you are trully Zimbabwean and black in complection, there must be something personal between you and Tarisai. You are just jealousy of her. But if you are white, you are a fucked up racist.

Mythor · 1 year ago

OMG LET IT GO YOU FUCKING MORONS! SHE LOST! hahahahahahaha

Janice · 1 year ago

I know she lost, but whats bugging you. Why do you hate her so much. I guess Tarisai is your ex and you hate her just because she dumped you, loser. Anyway stop claiming that you are Zimbabwean. You are just a European who claims to be Australian and yet we all know real Australians are Aborigines. Uri imbwa.

Mythor · 1 year ago

I never claimed that I'm Zimbabwean you fucking retard. Are you just Ireen under another name? Neither of you seems capable of understanding simple concepts.

I've never met Tarisai, nor would I ever want to. So there goes that theory, too!

The only real Australians are migrants. Prior to modern migrant settlement, there was no Australia, so the people who were here before then were not actually Australian either. This landmass was probably known by other names to the Aborigines but it certainly wasn't known as Australia - that came much later.
And FYI Aborigines are not the original inhabitants of Australia either, they migrated to this landmass a very long time ago. As far as scientists have been able to determine, the land was empty when they arrived, but they are no more the original inhabitants than the folks who came much later.
And conquering the local population went on long before white settlement of Australia and continues to go on today. If you want to have a big pansy ass cry about it, at least get with the times and complain about things such as Palestine.

As for what's bugging me? Just imbeciles like you who STILL CAN'T LET IT GO! She lost, as she deserved, and is unlikely to be heard much from again. Also as she deserves. She was a spoilt little two faced brat who got her 15 minutes and can now release her CDs straight to the bargain bins for her idiot followers, such as yourself.
Quit coming back just to cry over how mean I was more than three months ago. I don't often say this, but... GET A LIFE!
