Ben just won NZ Idol!

Wohooo...a lovely singer..I voted for him through out the whole series (about $8 - 15 went in it, total ;)) and I'm glad he finally won it!

Also, last night, while watching the NZ Idol finale, I noticed there was a new version of American Idol - has it already started airing in the US?

PS, here's the press release:
