Of course, we know Shannon Noll was ejected from a strip club the other week, and has kept pretty quiet about it since, but one ex-Idol who isn’t afraid to discuss the incident is old nemesis Guy Sebastian – and he totally has Nollsie’s back.
“There’s two sides to the story,” Sebastian told the Herald Sun. “I’ve known him for 14 years. I’ve hung out with him a bunch of times. I’ve never heard him ever say anything remotely like ‘Don’t you know who I am?’. It did make a hilarious meme though.”
Sebastian also discussed the hate he received last week when his Like A Version collaboration with Paces, Keeping Score, hit #56 in the triple j Hottest 100. Bascially, he thinks you’re all lame.
“Some people are sitting their with their fingers primed, waiting to be angry about something, hate on something”, he said.
“There are serial complainers. I think people get addicted to negativity. I just don’t bother anymore. I’ve had random people on the street who’ve said ‘Oh dude, how sick is it you’re in the Hottest 100’ and people on planes or shopping centres over the past week who’ve been so lovely. I haven’t had one single person tell me to my face I shouldn’t have been on there, it’s just the keyboard warriors.
“It used to bother me, definitely. I’m very opinionated about what is deemed as credible. It’s hard to articulate without sounding bitter or that I’m trying to justify my position as a pop artist, which I don’t feel I need to. So I just don’t address it and just go with it. I’m trying to figure out where the line is. It’s really what people deem as ‘cool’ rather than ‘credible’ at the end of the day.
“There’s artists triple j would openly admit they would never play. So it definitely becomes less about music and more about perception, the cool factor.”
