NowUC went along to the big Idol auditions at Canberra Stadium (did they really need the whole stadium to do 2,000 auditions?) and came away with Kyle Sandilands view on what is holding back Canberrans in the entertainment industry:
Known for his harsh but straight forward comments, Sandilands said many Canberrans didn’t fit Idol criteria because they lacked vibrant personalities.
“Some people could sing well enough but they didn’t have personality, and when it comes down to it, that’s what Idol and this industry is all about,†said. “If you don’t have a personality you won’t get this kind of career.â€
It doesn’t seem to have held Kyle back.
