There are two dates of birth on this page...June 8 and April 1 . Why? :(
Lee harding is not punk rock GRRRRRRRRRR he is either pop-rock or punk-pop —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.7.176.133 ( talk • contribs) .
His nikki webster in drag, with some green paint on her arm ... it's still pop tho ... GO THE SEX PISTOLS!
Cheers. If you wanted to get technical you could call him new age punk. (as opposed to true punk aka Sex Pistols, Clash). But pop-punk is pretty accurate so I'd stick to that at least untill the fad of this years idol wears off. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.7.176.133 ( talk • contribs) .
As much as I hate Mark Holden he was correct when he called him "wiggle punk". This is not Punk, the old argument involved groups like the Clash who had a political message & The Sex Pistols who were completely anti-establishment, the Sex Pistols considered even having a political message as being part of the establishment, the Sex Pistols even hated Pink Floyd, even though they were original, wrote their own music, played their instruments. Imagine what they would think of Lee Harding, he participated in a lame talent show full of talentless sellouts, a record company with the worse artists in history(backstreet boys, shannon noll etc) picked him up, marketed him to his pre-teen audience, got producers, songwriters, musicians to perform "his" pathetic song!! That is all bad enough, but to crown everything off he dresses(thinks he does anyway) like a punk, so in other words this complete sellout dresses like a rebel
Is there any topic on 'new wave' punk? pretty much it just seperates modern artists from the artists considered to be the more old school punk aka Clash
scratch that. New wave describes the 70s and 80s. But pretty much there are The Clash punk and then there is Good Charlotte punk. Clash being true punk whereas Charlotte are more new age punk (or punk pop/ pop rock). —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.7.176.134 ( talk • contribs) .
There is no element of punk in Lee Hardings music at all, just because the tempo is quick does not make it punk, it is only a term used by his fans & record company to sell him to a more serious audience. Green Day are ceratinly pop punk, but they write their music & play their instruments.( Khan 00:33, 5 February 2006 (UTC))
Lets not worry about my definition, lets ask the dictionary: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/punk "5. punk - rock music with deliberately offensive lyrics expressing anger and social alienation; in part a reaction against progressive rock."
Lee Harding is bubblegum/preteen pop through & through, and about as offensive and angry as an indoor plant, however I do agree with you in asmuch as this is an encyclopedia so I guess you are doing a good job trying to make it less POV. Although
What the hell is this article? it's full of POVs, unreferenced and reads like a music biz bio.
I agree, I dont even know why the loser has an article about him, he sounds & looks like a male Nikki Webster with a lot less talent.( Khanada 02:11, 20 April 2006 (UTC))
Yeah, this article sounds like it's defending Lee Harding: "Eventhough there are people who think that about Lee Harding, he has his fans. www.leeharding.com.au will show you his true loyal fans. Not everyone can like him... but there are many out there who do." Wikipedia is about facts, not advertising.. If there's someone who is against the people "who think that about Lee Harding", please post your opinion in the Talk page, instead of trying to improve his public image on an encyclopedia.
There is no such place as the Mornington Hotel. There are a variety of hotels in mornington, but none actually called that. Therefor, this article is written with non-factual stories. I suggest either clean it up or get rid of it, he's hardly note worthy —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.219.255.133 ( talk) 07:19, 4 April 2009 (UTC)
Although I do agree with this sections content the words "it is easy to see why he" are not typical of an encyclopedia and should be changed.( Khanada 01:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC))
The whole criticism section should be removed. Criticising an Australian Idol performer for singing commercial pop is like criticising water for being wet.

This article contains
weasel words: vague phrasing that often accompanies

unverifiable information. (March 2009) |
The image that Lee Harding has come to associate himself with has come under fire from many aspects of the music community, and the consumer public in general. Fans of punk rock music accuse Lee of being ignorant of what punk really is, and simply marketing himself in a watered-down version suitable for viewers of Australia Idol. Examples of this are evident in many of Harding's songs. Tracks such as his single 'Wasabi,' 'Just Another Love Song,' and 'Anything For You,' all obviously about girls, do not exemplify punk ideology. For example, songs by renowned punk rock bands such as the Sex Pistols, Dead Kennedys, or The Casualties normally deal with political issues, such as the Dead Kennedys 'Holiday in Cambodia' or the Sex Pistols 'Anarchy in the UK,' considering that bands such as these are some of the biggest influences of the punk rock industry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Aioth ( talk • contribs)
No one can site sources, because no one ever bothered to criticize him in the first place; such is his obvious lack of credibility. - Jacob
Calling Lee Harding's Album Sales "poor" in "Australian Idol standards" (as currently written on the article) is silly. The justification for this statement compares Harding's sales with those of the eventual winner Kate DeRaugo - well duh of course she is going to outsell him - she won! It would be fairer to compare him to non-winners, or if you must include winners, compare him to ALL of the competitors. How many people actually released albums out of the top twelve in any given series? Selling ANY albums puts him in the top 25% of australian idol competitors if you look at it that way
Shouldn't there be a disambiguation page for Lee Harding the Science Fiction Author? Apparently there's already a page for him at Lee_Harding_(Australian_writer) --irrevenant [ talk ] 09:46, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Whoever keeps editing it to change who he is engaged to is trashing wikipedia. He is engaged to Aimee Thomas, NOT Nicole Hansen.
