Idol Special: Tarasai
2:43p.m. 4 September 2007
Tarasia Vushe, NSW
Age: 20
When slightly-built Zimbabwe-born one-time receptionist Tarisai entered the Idol audition room, the judges had no idea what was about to hit them.
The softly spoken 20-year-old blew them away with her amazing rendition of Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing”. “There’s a lot of people loving what you just did then,” said Kyle Sandilands, without even conferring with the panel.
The love followed through to the audience; following her powerhouse take on “River Deep Mountain High” Tarisai was named the first female voted through to the Final 12. “I feel so honoured,” says Tarisai.
“I just want to thank everyone that voted for me.
” A committed performer, Tarisai rehearses her songs endlessly, making sure that she means every word she sings and choosing her songs accordingly.
As well as her amazing set of pipes, Tarisai says she thinks her personality is one of her biggest advantages in the competition.
The devoted Christian is rarely seen without her bible by her side and loves the movie Dreamgirls and R&B music in general - she lists Ms. Houston and Tina Turner as her inspirations.
She also loves watching Disney sitcom That’s So Raven, listening to Destiny’s Child and eating sadza, traditional Zimbabwean food.

Hi everyone
The name's Tom, though most people call me 'Freaky'. :P I'm in my "teens" and kinda lost in the world at the moment...however, I've found the hippie "culture" and discovered that it fits me very well...I'm not trying to fit into it, it just kind of fitted onto me.
I have lots of questions, which hopefully some of the older and wiser people on this board will be able to help answer.
Here's to hoping this board will be able to help me discover more of myself and fuel my beliefs.
Peace out. |

Good day!
Just introduce myself: I am a man (says my wife), I am 50 years old (hmm, that looks bad isn't it?) and I am a terrible bad programmer (I say myself).
My hobbies: computer (of course), my 17 years old son and of course my wife. I like to play billiard, I do a very little bit and very simple programming in VB and I try to make a site for my billiard-club in the near future.
big respect ! |
