We often joke that Nollsy was robbed when he lost to Guy Sebastian on Season One of Australian Idol - but both gentleman went on to have great careers. Year two saw the two finalists, Casey Donovan and Anthony Callea go on to work consistently. It is such a shame that the best contestants seem to battle each other in one year. Jessica Mauboy could have won any year of Australian Idol, but lost to strong competitor, Damian Leith. Though if you want to argue who was ripped off the most when they lost, I would argue it was certainly Jessica Mauboy - this talented lady has had one helluva career and this past week became the first indigenous artist to go to number one on the Australian album charts. A well deserved accolade. It could easily be argued that she is the most successful of the Australian Idol alumni.
