I know some of us aren't too thrilled with the whole Young Divas caper, but regardless of your position on that controversy, this interview with Paulini and Kate in the Sydney Star Observer is an absolute gem! I haven't posted the entire interview (for now) because it's a recent story on the SSO site, so that wouldn't be right. But here's the start of it and you can read the rest at their site (linked at the bottom).

POP QUARTET YOUNG DIVAS HAS CHOSEN A COLLECTION OF CAMP CLASSICS FOR ITS DEBUT ALBUM. TWO OF THE BAND’S MEMBERS TALKED GAY ICONS, DRAG QUEENS AND MARDI GRAS WITH IAN GOULD. Sydney Star Observer Were there some personal favourites among the track selections? Paulini Curuenavuli I love the Weather Girls and their version of It’s Raining Men. I’m also a huge Barbra Streisand fan. Kate DeAraugo A huge Streisand fan. Huge. PC Woman In Love is a beautiful song. There are so many songs on there that we love that were performed by people who we look up to. SSO There are some pretty camp moments on the album. KD Really? You think? SSOYou’ve got a Babs cover. You’ve got It’s Raining Men. Is the album the unofficial soundtrack for next year’s Mardi Gras? PC We hope so. KD I did the Mardi Gras for the first time last year and it was the best night of my life. I reckon I ran the parade route at least four times because I was running beside the float. SSO Can we look forward to a Young Divas performance at next year’s Mardi Gras party? PC We’d love to. It would be great to do those songs there. SSO Why do you think the gay community has embraced you? KD I don’t know. Ask them. Read the rest at:
