尚爾諾爾的歌唱風格中帶有一種憂郁的情懷，使得他專輯一推出就引起廣大的回響，不只當初那些因為收看節目之后就死忠支持他的粉絲還吸引了澳洲各地的樂迷大力相挺。這張2005年發行的專輯《Lift》一發行便直取冠軍寶座，收錄銷售白金單曲＜Shine＞，這首單曲同時也是2005年電臺點播榜冠軍，此外還收錄排行金曲＜Lift＞、＜Now I Run＞。尚農諾爾也是首位跨出國門澳洲偶像(Australian Idol)，拿下愛爾蘭冠軍的排行佳績，好成績讓他得到澳洲的布萊恩亞當斯美名。 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.
