Book Review: Poster Girl - Beccy Cole


When it comes to Beccy Cole I would firmly put myself into the column of casual fan, I've enjoyed some of her music, went to a gig of hers at Rooty Hill RSL with my Mum and had a great time. And my highlight, I got to interview her when I was a radio announcer on Penrith radio. Like she claimed in her "Poster Girl" song, "I'm the girl who sings the crazy songs". But as the years have gone on, I've become more aware of her and respected her greatly. Then she came out and she had my full attention - how great that a major country star announced she was gay. I was very keen to read her autobiography, and now that I have, this casual Beccy Cole fan has become a major fan.

Top 5 Songs: Whitney Houston


What a tragic figure Whitney Houston was. A beautiful woman with a truly special voice. She had the world in her hands, recognised by many as having the best voice in the world. Then with a marriage to Bobby Brown, drugs became a problem for her. Then just as she tried to get her life back together, she died tragically. Her legacy? Some truly inspiring music.

Single of the Week: Nobody Love - Tori Kelly


Self belief is an important thing, it's how stars are made. When doors slam it can be humbling, but a true believer gets up and tries even harder - Tori Kelly has been knocked down before but now it's finally all paying off for her, with a massive breakthrough song that may be one of the catchiest of the year.

Top 5 Songs: Divinyls


It was such a sad loss to the music industry when the ultra talented Chrissy Amphlett passed away. She was an amazing singer, great songwriter, massive personality and brilliant live performer. Her absence is noticeable, but she will always live on through her amazing songs.

"Ghost Town" must be the song title of the year, a few weeks ago my single of the week was the glorious "Ghosttown" by Madonna; and this week there could be no other pick than the amazing return of Mr Adam Lambert.

Logies 2015 - Where were the Aussie singers?


So it was the Logies last night, and it was one of the sleekest Logies in years. There were some deserving winners – so happy to see the amazing Wentworth win “Most Outstanding Drama”, and how beautiful was Carrie Bickmore’s speech when she deservedly won Gold? There were some great presenters too, Dave Hughes opener was hilarious and Julia Morris always makes me laugh hysterically.
