Request Spot: Matt Corby

It’s taken some time, some tears, and some tantrums, but Australian Idol 2007 has been whittled down to just 24 competitors. If you believe the hype, and the comments on the blog, the one all the girls are watching this year is Matt Corby.

But don’t think this 16-year-old is just a pretty face. While his piercing blue eyes and shaggy hair may have sent hearts fluttering, it’s his soulful voice and guitar skills that saw him cement a place amongst the best of the best.

But the road to Idol fame and fortune won’t be easy for Matt. He’s in one of the toughest semifinal groups this Sunday. So how will he fare against fellow glamour boy Daniel Mifsud, former X Factor contestant Jacob Butler, swing king Carl Riseley, 80’s loving oddball Husny Thalib, and islander underdog Junior To’o? Remember kids: the only way to ensure he makes top 12 is to vote, vote, vote!

And now, as requested by some of Matt’s biggest fans Stacey and Mikaela, here’s some hot photos of the man himself!

  4. Erin says:

    ellebell I am not trying to be bitchy, but do you even like Matt for anything other than his looks?? Maybe his voice perhaps??

  5. Stephanie says:

    THAT’S SHIT!!MATT SOOOOOO SHOULD HAVE ONE!!

    DON’T WORRY U R STILL BEAUTIFUL MATT U WILL DEFFINATELY BE A STAR IN THE FUTURE!!!!!!!

    STILL LOVE U MATT!!…..even more than elle Bell

  6. Lauren says:

    Erin and Stephanie – please try to be respectful to everyone that visits this blog. It’s not a competition – elle bell is just as entitled to come in here as you to voice her support for Matt, without having her motives questioned.

    And Stephanie, please try to tone down your language. Kids come in here after all.

  7. Stephanie says:

    thnx 4 that Lauren!!!
    u just lost someone that comes on this site very often!!!…….ME

  8. Lauren says:

    I’m sorry you feel like that Stephanie. I simply politely asked you to respect the site’s other visitors, but if you can’t deal with that there’s nothing I can do.

  9. Erin says:

    Arghh sorry Lauren, I just get fed up with the people who are just like matt is hot hot hot hot hot,, im jsut sick of it sorry!! Well Steph how you been today?? Or are oyu really turned off these forums??

  10. Stephanie says:

    Hey Erin!!
    nah i will still talk 2 u!!……and Chuck

    Sorry Lauren!! i was just upset that he lost!!
    yeah u were just being polite….i am really sorry!!

  11. Lauren says:

    That’s alright girls. I understand that you’re frustrated that he lost, and I hoped maybe if I just gently reminded you about language that’d be enough.

    And it’s also just my job to make sure everyone feels welcome. I’m not sure why Elle Bell likes Matt either, but even if it IS just about the voice for her (and I’m not saying it is), she’s got a right to her opinion. I just don’t want new visitors to feel uncomfortable about voicing their opinion is all. :-)

  12. Erin says:

    Sorry Lauren!! Well yeh, she has got her right to her oppinion!!

  13. Erin says:

    lol yep thats sure.. matt can hold 3kilos of talcum powder in his pants?? Is anyone else listening to the radio?? FOXFM??

  14. catt says:

    guys im pretty sure wen u say stuff like i hate those people who like matt corby coz of his looks ur being really hipocritical coz admit it that matt corbys looks pulled u in to begin with and i think that people should only say they like someone for there personality only not because some one is hott !!

  15. Erin says:

    Hey Catt, I’m really confused, are you saying you like or dislike the people who only like Matt fr his looks or what??

  30. Lauren says:

    Hi Heaven

    I’m afraid this is just a blog where I write about Aussie music – I don’t actually have any contact with Matt himself. Probably the best way to get in touch with him is through his MySpace page: http://www.myspace.com/mattycorby. Good luck!

  31. ZOMG matthew corby i am in love with youuuuuuuuu .

  33. Lauren says:

    Hi Maddii and Gigi. I’m afraid this isn’t actually Matt – I’m just someone who writes about Aussie music. If you want to get in touch with him you might like to try his MySpace page – http://www.myspace.com/mattycorby – no guarantees he’ll reply but at least you’ll know your message is in a place where he should see it.
