    The first time I heard Shannon Noll I was like wow.. fantastic voice... I didn't even know he had won Australian Idol... They only show American Idol and X-Factor in the UK... That being said... He's brilliant. :D

    rofl i'm surprised Idols get scrobbles. That being said, I hate Noll the least of all the Idols.

    It amazes me how people trawl through artists pages they don't like and leave comments that make no sense. I haven't seen Shannon on any reality show and not likely to either BUT I have seen him singing at the Viper Room in L.A. though to a packed house, to me and many others THAT is being taken VERY seriously :) Have a nice day :)
