Which artist (dead or alive) would you most like to perform a duet with and why?
I would love to perform with Eddie Vedder. I love his voice, his emotion and his music.

What’s the best thing about being on Australian Idol?
The best thing about Idol is having the opportunity to express myself to an entire nation.

Who is your favourite judge and why?
My favourite judge is Kyle. I love his honesty and dry humour.
