Found this on the Australian Idol boards:
Australian Idol has launched the music careers of nine ARIA No. 1
artists and is now firmly entrenched in our music culture.
Australian Idol: Off The Record takes a closer look at the phenomenon that is Idol, the stars it has
produced and the behind-the-scenes players that have made it the most
prestigious singing competition in the country.
You only have to walk through any CD store to see the staggering
dominance of performers who first gained exposure on Australian Idol, proving
the Australian publics support for the stars they help shape, and the
importance of the show for any new recording artist.
The breadth of talent in Off The Record covers all genres:
There are interviews with our rock stars Shannon Noll and Lee Harding,
Soul/RnB maestros Guy Sebastian, Paulini and Emily Williams,
:clap our winning diva Kate DeAraugo, :clap
popstar Ricki-Lee Coulter
and the highest selling recording artists of all time Anthony Callea.
Our elite performers talk candidly and frankly about their Idol experience and what it has done for their career.
Australian Idol: Off The Record also focuses on performers such
as Dan O'Connor and Axle Whitehead who have shaped careers in the
television industry out of their Idol experience.
Despite what critics predicted, Australian Idol's multi-talented
homegrown performers continue to hit the top of the ARIA charts and grow as
artists, injecting a much-needed boost to the Australian music industry
at a time when our local acts have to fight tooth and nail against
their international competitors. Lending weight to this argument are
Chairman of ARIA and the Chairman & CEO, Sony BMG Music Entertainment
Australia & NZ, Denis Handlin, and respected music journalist Christine Sams.
With Kelly Clarkson's two Grammy haul fresh in everyone's minds all
eyes now turn to the new batch of Australian talent that Australian Idol
2006 will discover.
Idol 2006 is giving young Australian performers
from Townsville to Perth, Alice Springs to Hobart, Mt Isa to Albury, the
chance to audition. The opportunity for the next group of young
Australian performers to get their foot in the door of the Australian music
industry is moments away.
