Old 'Australian Idol' advises new 'Australian Idol'
Published Wednesday, Mar 9 2005, 12:28 GMT | By Neil Wilkes
Original Australian Idol winner Guy Sebastian has served up some words of advice for his successor.
As reported earlier this week, 17-year-old Casey Donovan is facing the axe from her record label after poor record sales.
"I think she does (have a career) if she goes away and just finds out who she is," Sebastian told the Australian AP. "She is young and she was suddenly propelled into this career and I actually really dig her second single (What's Going On?)."
He cited her debut single, 'Listen With Your Heart,' as a bad choice to kick off her career with.
"I don't know if people were voting for Casey to get Listen With Your Heart as the single. She is kind of an alternative, don't-fit-the-stereotype girl and that is what people loved about her and then she sang Listen With Your Heart. It kind of didn't fit her and I guess it wasn't the best way to present her straight out of the show."
