Idol Round-Up: Tarisai Runs Into The Loving Arms Of A Bratz Endorsement Deal

The latest Australian Idol casualty is pocket rocket Tarisai Vushe, who admittedly showed less “rocket” and far less “(in the) pocket” with each week of the reality talent quest.

What started as a powerhouse voice with a beguiling personality ended up a karaoke-night warbler with the personality of a donut – her trademark quiet “thank you” apparently the killer for all involved, including the normally ever-lovin’ Marcia – a predicament that led to Mark and Dicko calling her “fake”, only to feel a bit of emotional power from Vushe, even if it was off-stage.

Unfortunately for her, the emotional outburst didn’t happen during her cover of The Veronicas’ When It All Falls Apart, and so she leaves in fifth place.

Incidentally, we remain perplexed as to exactly who is voting for Marty Simpson; could this year’s finale be another repeat of the Damien Leith/Kate De Araugo variety?
