Madam Parker is the latest Australian Idol contender to get the chop from the reality TV competition. The soul star found herself in a surprising bottom three with Roshani Priddis and Chrislyn Hamilton. All three gave solid performances in the “sing for your life” round, but Madam was ultimately sent home.
I think ultimately her undoing was her lack of versatility. We saw her do soul great, but when we stepped outside that genre she fell into a heap. She’s got bundles of potential though and I do hope she pursues her musical career after this.
Next week our Idols prepare to rock with the help of mentors Kirk Pengilly and Tim Farris of INXS. I can’t wait!
