There's been a lot of the lovely Paulini about lately! She's been interviewed by Access All Areas and news.com.au as well as being interviewed with the Young Divas on several broadcasts and news print media. Not to mention all the gigs and performances at almost every event that's going on around Australia!!! Seems Paulini and the Young Divas are pretty hot right now and they're popping up on tv and radio and in live concerts all over Australia!!
This week you can catch Paulini and the Divas on Australian Idol at the Opera House. Apparently they're singing the track Right About Now from their album (and used in the promotion leading up to this year's Idol series) but who cares WHAT they're singing? Paulini will be on our screens again! Life is GOOD.
Meanwhile you can get yourself a Paulini fix by checking out this fantastic video of Paulini and the Divas performing Woman In Love live in Queensland for the morning Sunrise show at this link HERE ! [UPDATE: 11 March 07 - This video has fallen victim to the curse of copyright-gone-mad/censorship and has been removed from youtube. Another great international promotion opportunity for Paulini bites the dust. The least they could do is post the video on the Sunrise site instead rather than remove it from the public entirely.]
The performance is brilliant – and just happens to have a lot of Paulini singing and some awesome vocal soaring from our Divine Miss P. Brilliant stuff from Paulini – and all the girls! I don't think people realise how difficult and rare it is for ANY artist to be able to perform so brilliantly live to air like that. The girls can really sing up a storm! Paulini in particular is flawless and shows yet another aspect to her vocal range and style. And they all look gorgeous – of course. Listen out for that FANTASTIC chorus bit with just Emily and Paulini together! It rocks!
Also – watch out for Paulini performing at various Carols around the nation over the next few weeks. There are rumours running wild about Christmas Carol gigs, including a couple in Queensland and one in Sydney (this is Paulini solo – not the events she's attending as part of the Young Divas). As yet there is no confirmation of the various Christmas Carol events – except the Townsville one – so check with your local council. We'll try to let you know of any definite ones in time for you to get organised – so keep an eye on the gig guide!! (in the column to the right of this page, for those who havent noticed it yet!!).
In case you weren't watching, last Thursday Paulini and the Young Divas performed, for the first time, in front of a WORLDWIDE audience. And not just any world-wide audience (oh no no no) but an estimated SIXTY MILLION OF THEM. Yes that's right! Count 'em – SIXTY MILLION!!!
The girls sang the national anthem at the opening of the much-anticipated Aussie venture to reclaim the Ashes (after those Pommy B***rds stole them from us last year et etc blah blah). You would have been hard-pressed to notice them though as the camera pretty much focussed entirely on the Aussie cricket team and the band and crowd drowned out their voices. Strange how they showed the chick who sang the British anthem for most of her performance but all we got of our girls was one quick shot of them at the start and then they sort of disappeared in a sea of national pride. Oh well. I'm sure they were great anyway.
