Shannon Noll

尚尔诺尔的歌唱风格中带有一种忧郁的情怀，使得他专辑一推出就引起广大的回响，不只当初那些因为收看节目之后就死忠支持他的粉丝还吸引了澳洲各地的乐迷大力相挺。这张2005年发行的专辑《Lift》一发行便直取冠军宝座，收录销售白金单曲＜Shine＞，这首单曲同时也是2005年电台点播榜冠军，此外还收录排行金曲＜Lift＞、＜Now I Run＞。尚农诺尔也是首位跨出国门澳洲偶像(Australian Idol)，拿下爱尔兰冠军的排行佳绩，好成绩让他得到澳洲的布莱恩亚当斯美名。
Pop-rocker Shannon Noll rose to stardom down under after earning runner-up honors in the 2003 debut season of the television amateur showcase Australian Idol. Born September 16, 1975, in remote Condobolin, New South Wales, Noll spent his formative years shearing sheep before joining his siblings in the band Cypress. Upon entering Australian Idol, Noll emerged as a major crowd favorite, and the series' finale, which pit him against eventual winner Guy Sebastian, was Aussie television's highest-rated broadcast of the 2003 season. Despite the loss Noll earned a recording contract with Sony BMG, and in early 2004 issued his debut single, a cover of Moving Pictures' 1982 power ballad "What About Me," which not only topped Australian charts but also reached the number two spot in Ireland. His first LP, That's What I'm Talking About, also went number one, buoyed by the highly rated television special Up Close with Shannon Noll. In early 2005, Noll toured in a new production of the classic stage musical Grease. His sophomore album, Lift, followed mid-year, debuting at number one and generating a series of Top Ten singles including "Shine," "Now I Run," and the title cut.
