I have made some cuts to the new material (now 2nd pagraph of lead) to try to make it less subjective. It isn't really perfect, so further editing is very welcome. Apologies to the anonymous editor, but the Wikipedia regulars tend to frown on material they view as excessively fan-ish (in fact, this nearly lead to the deletion of Hayley Jensen's article).

Gay Icon Project
In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:22, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Idol Section
Out of this junk, I'm going to somehow form a comprehensive section of Chanel's Idol experience:

Judges Audition: When I get low I get high - Ella Fitzgerald_Comments: . I don't care about you two, I'm giving her this [standing ovation] . - Dicko Theatre Round: Pretty Boy [Pretty Woman] - Roy Orbison_Comments: . The chances that you took with that melody, with the timing, with everything... I.. adore.. you.. you.. are.. a.. bloody.. star.. . - Mark Group One: Glory box - Portishead_Comments: . Wow. I think you're an extraordinary musician. Dicko and I have perhaps hurt you with our kindness and then you've set yourself up with a great musicians choice but one that I'm feared the public is going to reject and that is going to make me very sad . - Mark . You know, you've always been so unusual and I think that's just such a gift in itself. And you sing so beautifully, Chanel, you know. The song that you just chose, I have to agree with Mark, is very obscure, but you're different so for you to stand there and sing something that everyone knows, I wouldn't ever expect it of you. I never know what to expect. And that's why I really dig you. . - Marcia . Yeah, I make no apologies about being a fan of yours because I still, even now I may be putting a nail in your coffin, I don't care. I've gotta affirm what I see. I think you're special, I really do. I think you take risks, you're very sensual and slightly unhinged which facinates me as well. That was fantastic. You are fantastic. So what can I say? . - Dicko Top 12: Green Limousine - The Badloves_Comments: . No, you are cute. You're gorgeous. You're absolutely gorgeous. That was a rockin' performance of a song I don't really know. I was away when that was a hit and you came up on that one, really strong. Well done. . - Mark . It was great to hear your mother describe you and say that you're like the person that we see all the time you're like that 24/7. That's a great thing to be and you're such an individual. I thank you for that. Well done. . - Marcia . Kia Ora sis. You know what I think of you. I think you're terrific. You're just a real breath of fresh air and this competition needs you. I think that was a really ordinary song and I think you've gotta be careful of your song choices but I think it's a testament to your magic that you've breathed some real energy and some real delightful moments into that. If that's what you can do with a half decent song imagine what you could do if you start getting your song choices right. . - Dicko Top 11: History Repeating - Propellerheads_Comments: . How are you doing? You alright? You are such a performer. I mean, you came out and you knew exactly what you had to do and the profile thing is always such a great way to sort of start something. It's great to be seeing someone so comfortable with themselves, yeah. Great choice of song. You look great Chanel. . - Marcia . Tonigh you're just a full on, beautiful, retro, glamour puss. And I'm in love again. I really am. Just terrific. Fantastic to have someone who actually remembers this is the entertainment industry. Brilliant. Perrrrfect. . - Dicko . Ever since you enchanted Dicko and I in the auditions we've been waiting for the diva to come back and surface and just take over and tonight's the night. All hail the diva. . - Mark Top 10: Walk On By - Bert Backarack_Comments: . You look lovely tonight, as always. Um, normally I love what you do but tonight I think you just crossed the line into sloppy theartical and I didn't like it. . - Dicko . Very interesting Dicko, but stupid. No, no, I like your interpretation. I thought it was unique. You went for your own version of a really well known song. You use different voices. Your intenation was different from.. difficult to do what you did. I think you did it really well Chanel and you are beautiful. . - Mark . Chanel, you know, every time you step to the microphone you do something really different. And you're really quirky and cute. And all those things are really important. And your voice is always pure. The rest of the girls in the competition are really pushing themselves and I know you can push yourself and that's what I'd like to see. Ok? Well done. . - Marcia Top 9: Never Can Say Goodbye - Jackson 5_Comments: . As I said earlier, I think, um, I thought disco would be a bit off a banana skin for a few contestants and I think if you're, if you do have a disco chip in you it wasn't really working tonight. Kind of a bittersweet performance for me. Sweet in as much as there were glimmers and glimpses of what makes you so wonderful and why, you know, I'm in love with you as a performer but there were times when you drifted off and got a bit lost and looked a bit like a ** up secretary at an office party, so... but I do love you . - Dicko . Dicko's back and he's mad as hell. Do you have a response to that Chanel? I think the truth is that when I talked about Casey earlier and I said how Casey has taken the affirmation and she's taken the light and it's had a growth affect on her. It's like, you know, the sun shining on a flower to her. The sun I think has burnt your edges a little bit. I do. I think that this, rather than empowering you is freaking you out a little bit. I do. And I've talked about it off camera and I think what you need to do honestly Chanel is forget about winning this competition. I think the truth of the matter is I think you're so focused on whether you're going to win or lose that you're not allowing yourself to just go for it in the biggest, largest most magical possible way. And I think if you just get rid of the shackles of the fear of wondering whether you're going to win or lose it, you've just got to assume you're not going to win it, and then just go nuts. That's what I think you need to do. Release yourself from the fear of losing. . - Mark . You know what Chanel, I really don't have anything to say to you. Because I think that what the both the guys have said in many ways has been like a sexual, um, insult to women. Ok. And also Chanel, you, when I first saw you I liked the quirkiness that you were. Ok. And then seeing it week after week after week it's kinda like something you're trying to keep up or something and just.. I just want to say stay true to yourself Chanel, ok. That's all I can really say to you because I don't want to tear you to pieces because if I do a bad performance I know what I've done. Nobody needs to tell me. Ok. So you just go and talk to the boys. I've got nothing to say. . - Marcia

Name:	Chanel Cole Age:	26 Hometown:	Bega, NSW Star sign:	Scorpio Occupation:	Retail hag First audition song:	When I Get Low I Get High Listening To:	Roy Orbison Greatest Hits Favourite Music:	I gravitate towards diminished chords. Musical Idol:	Radiohead, Ray Davies Do you have a strategy/approach for the finals series?_I’m going to put in a lot of hard work and try and not be so coy on stage; it’s not intentional, it’s just what I do when I get nervous. Andrew G: Why should you be the next Australian Idol?

Chanel: "Because, I think there is a severe lack of articulate, brunette, size-12, flat chested women on television."

[After passing the first audition]

"I was going to be so cool. I was going to come out and be like, "yeah, yeah, it's alright, I got in." And I'm like hee-hee-ha-ha" [excited giggle].

"The one thing really scares me is admitting to myself how much I would like this opportunity, because if I don't get it and I admit to myself how much I want it, that would probably hurt quite... a bit."

"Some people like to do embroidery, I like to do hair" James Mathieson: You've got a fern in your hair! Chanel: I do have a fern...I was dragged backwards through a bush just before the show. The hair stylists did what they could, but..." Andrew G: Why did you choose 'Glory Box' to sing, Chanel? "Because that song is a celebration of feminine wiles and a little hint to the boys who love girls that use them" [After 'Never Can Say Goodbye'] Dicko: Well, to be honest, sometimes you wandered off and looked like a pissed-up secretary at an office party. Chanel: "Well, if that's how much fun a pissed-up secretary has, I'm there!" [The message you get when you ring up and vote for her] "Hi, this is Chanel. Thanks for voting for me today. Have I told you how good looking you are? "I do believe you have to take an interest in what is going on around you because otherwise you will end up as a pawn." [When asked about how she felt after a long flight] "Like I'm trapped in a Salvidor Dali painting, I've just woken up and the clock is just melting off the wall."

"Lord help us. Have you seen the Chanel Board lately? It's a jungle out there. And I don't mean by debating and arguments... but they are PRAISING her. She has become some kind of God, or Angel sent from Heaven, needing guidence in this world. They are spiritual towards her. All her fans talk about her like they know her inside/out and they all feel that they have a lot in common with Chanel and with one another... they all talk as if they are some kinda cult... and they have to put their 'forces' together to keep chanel in the comp. We MUST get behind this. What is going on with Chanel's fans?"

But she has no regrets - not even her outfit and hairstyle during her Sunday night performance which inspired judge Mark Holden to tell she looked like "Mickey Mouse on bad acid". "I wouldn't have done anything differently. Even the outfit on Sunday night - I thought it was hilarious. It was my own personal sending up of myself," she says of what was intended to be her "geisha style" outfit.

knew the 3 judges were going to hate it! don't ask me how i knew, i just did... it was wasn't the sort of song they were expecting me to do and that was largely a factor in my choice. it had a great melody and the potential to be a fantastic rag-time tune (although it turned out i wasn't allowed the interpretation i wanted) whilst i'm sure that the lyrics were heartfelt, i feel it's also a very childish sentiment conveyed and i could neverbelieve in such malicious revenge enough to sing it seriously.... i also wanted to show that i'm not a musical snob and that i really don't think clothes are important. it's about being comfortable and i enjoyed the song immensely. it pushed me to sing in a different style, more so than if i had chosen a song like 'sexual healing' and experimanting with different music is something i love to do. anyway... when the judges started i couldn't help but laugh as it all went exactly as i imagined it would i do love acting very very much, have had more experience in theatre than film... only one nz student film to my file - was a rather intense experience about abortion, which i never want to endure...it was filmed in an actual abortion clinic and being on the little foam plank that passes for a table with my feet in the stirrups was one of the most disturbing moments of my life. i am pro choice but i would never wish the experience on anybody. what a horrible harrowing thing to have to go through.

Spook
Why does Spook redirect here? Chanel is just one member of the group, which IMHO should have its own article. -- Chuq 04:26, 23 October 2005 (UTC)
