They also let me have a sneak “peek” at a snippet of her new track – Fireman. It was very short but I can tell you it’s not like anything she’s done before!!

This could be a winner

Sorry – I really can’t share. As soon as I can I’ll do it I promise.

Meanwhile look at the pretty boys….. I mean pictures.

A couple of days ago TWO amazing things happened.

First, Paulini responded to a tweet I sent her. And not just once but TWICE! I have never seen her do that before.

But before I could recover from the shock of Paulini using twitter the way the Goddess of  the Twitterverse intended, another amazing  “thing” happened.

I recieved an email from…………… tadadada dada daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!……….. her new management “team” – Momentom Management! All keen to get involved with her fansite and fans and stuff.

We shall see how long that lasts

But in the meantime they sent me information!!! And a pic!!

We have a lot of new amazing material that Paulini has been working on, and as I’m sure you have heard Paulini has a new single coming out this month called ‘Fireman’ which we are so excited about and can’t wait to release for the world to hear.

Paulini’s new single … will be hitting radio airwaves first week of February – as you may have seen she was featured in the Sunday Telegraph last weekend showcasing her upcoming single – lots more to come!

I have attached a sneak peek pic of Paulini behind the scenes at the ‘Fireman’ shoot…very exciting!!

And here’s the picture!! (hint – click on the picture!!)

Sexy!

The other day Paulini tweeted this message:

She didn’t give a link so I went searching and – with some difficulty – found the video of the track she’s talking about. It’s Wildboyz with a Z LOL

Here’s the official video of a band called Wild Boyz performing her song. The wierd thing is that it’s Paulini’s vocals you can hear but some other chick pretending to sing it. There she is in the image below … I have no idea who she is or what she’s doing there or why she isn’t embarassed to be miming to someone else’s vocals and pretending it’s her.

If you do a search for this song you’ll find people talking about “Wild Boyz featuring Ameerah” (Ameerah has sung on other tracks) when in fact the song features Paulini’s vocals.

I don’t really understand this. Why would Paulini willingly let some other woman pretend to be singing?

Anyway – good song. And as Paulini said – you can buy it at I-Tunes but I don’t know if I want to given that she isn’t acknowledged as the singer. I know she still gets royalties for writing the song (more than the imposter vocalist does) but still, it just seems wrong.

If Paulini or anyone from her management ever bother to come here it would be nice to hear from you and get an explanation of all this.

SUPERB!

This is a very short video of Paulini working on her new album a couple of months ago with "Dennis and Aaron" at PLW Studios. 

PLW is owned by Paul Wiltshire who has worked with Paulini in the past (if I recall correctly he might even be the fellow who played that beautiful piano on the gorgeous one-take track "One Determined Heart" on Paulini's first album.  He has also co-written songs for Paulini with Victoria Wu.

 Anyway, thanks to whoever posted this link in the comments. It is a joy to see her making her OWN music and being the artist we always knew her to be.

Enjoy –

Paulini has been busy as usual with the Christmas Carol season upon us. Each year she is in big demand to sing at Christmas events all round Australia – and this year is no exception. Keep an eye on the Gig Guide and Forum for more gigs – note that it's EXTREMELY hard to get info on her solo gigs so check with your local venues and please let us know if you hear of one we've missed!!!

{mosimage}Apart from her gigs with the Young Divas, Paulini has been enjoying herself performing Carols at public events and for children in hospital. There is a video available of her visit to the Sydney Children's Hospital last week – see the forum media section for the link.

And last night Kel was sweet enough to call me on her mobile phone from a rainy Sydney, just so I could listen to Paulini and the girls rehearsing for the Christmas Carols in the Domain event! They sounded awesome performing an old gospel standard and will also perform Do You Hear What I Hear  on the night. Don't forget to watch it on the Seven network from 8.40 tonight!! Let's hope it's not raining again.

I also got a call when Damien Leith was on and he too sounded stunning singing Hallelujah live. Can't wait to get a report back from Kel, Hayden and Mel (?) about being there live on the night! Hope you didnt get drenched in your tents guys!!

In other news – Paulini has been nominated for the Best-dressed Award in Pop Republics readers poll for 2006 (see the forum for links to the voting form) and rumour has it she's now sporting a cool belly-button piercing! 

Finally, Paulini was online a couple of days ago (yes REALLY!) answering fans questions (in the Divas news forum) and some of her replies suggest that she is working on writing new songs and planning a new solo project very soon.  Yay!!

You might not know that he also has videos of Paulini's performances on Sunrise including the one where her microphone died. 

But now we have even more Paulini magic. Young Luke has taken the time to upload a bucket-load of Paulini videos from her time in the first series of Australian Idol. So now you have an absolute smorgasbord of performances to choose from.

Oh the emotions all come flooding back…the lows, the highs, and more highs …. See them all, vindiezels and Lukes uploads  here 

Have a box of tissues handy!!

UPDATE: Luke says he will be continually adding more videos to his collection so you should check his actual page for updates – Luke's Page .
