We Are Mildly Concerned About The Current State Of Natalie Gauci’s Career
So everyone’s well aware of the chart woes currently affecting Australian Idol winner Natalie Gauci (who will be referred to as The Gauch from hereon in, just because we can). Suffering from a severe bout of Casey-itis, it seems The Gauch’s victory at the Opera House finale last year hasn’t been enough to guarantee album sales, with her single Here I Am only managing to reach the dizzying heights of the #2 position (good under normal circumstances, but when you’re part of the Idol juggernaut and the associated publicity power that comes with it, not so good) and her album debuting at #12.
But even we were surprised when checking out the 50 members of the Facebook group “I NEED A GIG IN MELBOURNE!!!!!!” to see her name pop up.
Surely Sony-BMG aren’t forcing her to arrange her own shows via Facebook?! This’d never have happened to Matt Corby – IT IS A TRAVESTY!
Poor The Gauch :(
On the upside, she’s not alone. Former E-Street star (and deliverer of The World’s Greatest Lyrics TM – “If you wanna wait til later, hands off my detonator”) Melissa Tkautz is also part of the shouty group. Can we organise a Gauch/Tkautz double-header at a small, intimate venue like The Empress? We’d pay the $7 cover charge. Anything to support our Australian Idol!

Poor The Gauch :(????
Pour the Gauch another drink: Young Divas here I come!
y dont u just leave her alone ???
im not even a fan and this is just mean
There’s nothing to be concerned about. She is a talented singer/songwriter and if you’d gone to one of her live shows (like I did) on the Winner’s Journey Tour you’d see what I mean. She is so professional and passionate about her music on stage and has so many originals lined up for her original album (due out mid year). The fact of the matter is, people lost interest in Idol and there were very poor ratings this year and negative press surrounding ‘Here I Am’ – her fans don’t care about her WJ album sales, we just want to follow her career and support her. It’s just such a shame that she hasn’t been able to finish in such a successful year like Damien did – she is just so underrated. Anyway, give her originals a listen (look them up on youtube, she performs 6 of them on her tour, 1 is the B side to ‘Here I Am’ and another is on the WJ album DVD.
