[edit] Neutrality

I think some attention needs to be paid to maintaining the neutrality of this article. This is Wikipedia, not a record company press release. Check the 2008 section - it would be accurate to say that Noll played at certain venues, but saying he "rocked" them is a non-neutral matter of opinion. As is stating that his rest is "well earned". The same goes for lines below like "are guaranteed to be #1 hits."

More unbiased reporting and less marketing thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.45.135.172 (talk) 16:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Shannon is currently overseas to finish writing the last few songs for his 2nd album.He is expected to head into the studios in May-June with the album tentatively due for release in September.Fans won't have to wait that long though,as his 1st Single of the album is due for release in August.Those fans who had the chance to see him in action on his recent solo tour and also supporting Bryan Adams on his recent tour,are divided over which of his new songs,which he road-tested at those shows,should be the nextr single.

Should it be the brilliant ballad-like "Lonely"...which once you have heard you will not forget easily and will find yourself humming weeks after hearing it. Or should it be the punchier,rock style song "The Winner takes it All" which Shannon used to open his recent shows with and certainly got the shows off to brilliant start?

Both these songs,while very different... are guaranteed to be #1 hits.For me,they both show more of what I believe is Shannon's true music style..they are fresh..energetic & exciting,filled with true heartfelt emotion.I can't choose between them.And like the 1000's of other Shannon fans out there,I can't wait to hear the new album and the rest of the new songs Shannon has in store for us

BRING ON SEPTEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!

You must be on crack, he is the worst artist ever! Actually Lee Harding is a lot worse.(Khanada 01:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC))

Of course, they are guarenteed to be #1. Like Kasey Donovan's "success" last year, the record companies will ship out millions of copies to stores just to get the single at the top of the ARIA charts... Meanwhile, very few people will actually buy it, especially since Barnesy is back.

[edit] Pictures...

Is somebody deliberately uploading stupid pictures for the Australian Idol contestants? Both this picture and the 'Guy Sebastian' picture are wrong (and just stupid!). I'm going to remove the picture and hope that somebody can provide something genuine in the future! Ranglin 00:46, 15 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:82876740522.jpg

Image:82876740522.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Cleanup

Worked on reducing promo language and such, wanted to de-weasel/declutter the article. So little verification, but the main problem there is the dates forecasting so much and now they've passed, they need verification or erasing. Julia Rossi (talk) 10:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
