Katherine Jenna "Kate" DeAraugo, pronounced ''de roosh'' (born 5 November 1985), is an Australian singer-songwriter who was the third winner of Australian Idol in 2005. After ''idol'', DeAraugo signed to Sony BMG and released her debut single, "Maybe Tonight", in November 2005. The single debuted and peaked at Number 1 on the ARIA Charts and was certified platinum. Her debut album, ''A Place I've Never Been'', was released in December 2005 and was also certified platinum. DeAraugo later became a member of the multi-platinum selling girl group, Young Divas, which disbanded in 2008. ==Australian Idol== A former swimming teacher, DeAraugo had auditioned for Australian Idol, in both the first season (2003) and in the second season (2004), both times failing to make it past the auditions. After this she travelled from Bendigo, Victoria to the Gold Coast, Queensland for singing lessons with Venetta Fields, finally moving to Queensland where she auditioned for the third season of ''Idol'' in 2005. On 14 November 2005, DeAraugo beat Lee Harding to ensure her place in the grand final. Her father, a businessman and car dealer in her home town of Bendigo, orchestrated a publicity campaign with "Vote for Kate" stickers and buttons appearing all over central Victoria. DeAraugo's co-finalist was Emily Williams, making this the first all-female final since the show began in 2003. Williams was generally considered the favourite but on 21 November 2005, DeAraugo was crowned as the third Australian Idol with a vote that is still the closest in the show's history. She defeated Williams by only 2%. She was the only Australian Idol winner not to have earned a single touchdown from former judge Mark Holden throughout the course of the show. She was also never placed in any week's bottom group. *Brisbane Auditions: "Young Hearts Run Free" by Kym Mazelle *Theatre Round Day Two: "Finally" by CeCe Peniston *Top 30 (Group 2): "For Once in My Life" by Stevie Wonder *Top 13 Australian Made: "Please Don't Ask Me" by John Farnham *Top 11 '60s Hits: "Rescue Me" by Fontella Bass *Top 10 Supergroups: "I Want It All" by Queen *Top 9 Idols' Choice: "Not That Kind" by Anastacia *Top 8 Big Band Hits: "Cry Me a River" by Patti Austin *Top 7 '80s Hits: "Ain't Nobody" by Chaka Khan *Top 6 Up Close & Personal: "Ironic" by Alanis Morissette *Top 6 Motown Hits: "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder *Top 5 '70s Hits: "Lady Marmalade" by Patti Labelle *Top 4 Elvis Hits: "The Impossible Dream" by Elvis Presley *Top 4 Elvis Hits: "Burning Love" by Elvis Presley *Top 3 #1 Hits: "Heaven" by Bryan Adams *Top 3 #1 Hits: "Like a Prayer" by Madonna *Top 2 Idols' Choice: "Shackles (Praise You)" by Mary Mary *Top 2 Idols' Choice: "How Could an Angel Break My Heart" by Toni Braxton *Top 2 Winner's Single: "Maybe Tonight" by the Australian Idol 2005 Winner *Grand Final Performance: "The Impossible Dream" by Elvis Presley - ''Declared 3rd Australian Idol'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kate DeAraugo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
