After the tears had been shed and our first eliminated contestant, Joseph Gatehau, came to grips with leaving the competition, the mood behind the scenes was surprisingly buoyant. With the support of his peers and the kind words of the judges, Joseph knows he has a huge future ahead of him as a singer and songwriter.
It’s the toughest part of every week for the Idol crew and talent, but this time, the camaraderie came to the fore and as the Australian Idol website’s editorial team approached Joseph in the foyer of Global studios, the warm character reached out to offer hugs as he flashed that million dollar smile. For a moment, we thought we’d been eliminated from the competition! Joseph talked candidly, looking thoughtful and disappointed but obviously looking to the future. “I just don’t want to go back to school,” he joked before laughing.
