Kate Dearaugo Quotes

I live in Sydney now. I came here for the show and never went home � I do like it, it�s a big change� it�s a big city, it�s very fast.

It has been a whirlwind really, it all happened so quickly! I auditioned for Australian Idol for the 3rd time� to see where I was and if I had improved with my singing; and the next thing I knew in the final 12 and it went nuts from there � I walked straight off stage at the finals into a press conference and didn�t have a days rest �till New Years Day.

I remember where I come from. I just see myself as someone who gets up and does what she loves every day � I�m not better or worse than anybody.

I think it has a vibe because we�re all so different and individual� so it�s fantastic when we come together as a group. Then at the same time we�re all coming from the same place � Idol. We all went from nothing to something in two months� so we understand each other.

You know what we pride ourselves on that � although I wouldn�t mind if my backside was a little smaller. But look at the original divas� take Aretha Franklin for example - I�ve seen her live in the States and she was mammoth, but she had that crowd under control and they doted on every movement she made! We�re not little midgets but the music industry is not about that, it�s about loving the music and respecting what you do.
