This chap, Damien Leith, is still at the top of the ARIA, Australian Record Industry Associations's pop charts, after winning Aussie Idol in 2006. This clip has a long lead in but its good to watch in comparison to how British and American Idol's are run, which in my opinion seems quite similar. I was looking over the ARIA chart and he was the fourth artist I looked at who was actually living in Australia as a citizen. All the rest were American and UK. He did an album of traditional Australian songs which is worth a listen, Catch the Wind.
