The only reason I can see that Amanda Grafanakis didn’t make the Final 12 of Australian Idol 2008 was that she picked a god-awful song to sing when she got a second chance in the wildcard show.
What was the song???
The Best (or is it Simply the Best) by Tina Turner. Why the hell would you choose that song to save your chances of a pop career? For heavens sake, the judges said she was extremely marketable and talented – I bet they saw the Australian Gwen Stefani when they looked at her. So what does she sing, a cheesy, cheesy song from the 80s. Why didn’t she just give them what they wanted and sing a No Doubt track?
No doubt, she is kicking herself.
Don’t worry, the music industry isn’t about actual talent, so no doubt she’ll get a contract to look pretty, mime well and sell her soul for 15 minutes.
