Speaker 2: cavalcade of careers you've both have. Forget him, let's talk

20
00:00:46,479 --> 00:00:49,680
Speaker 2: about you. You have been on stage, you've been on

21
00:00:49,720 --> 00:00:51,559
Speaker 2: the small screen. I think I've seen most of the

22
00:00:51,560 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 2: things you're in and g You bring everything you do

23
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:58,520
Speaker 2: to life. You're about to embark on a tour. I

24
00:00:58,560 --> 00:01:00,480
Speaker 2: can't wait to hear a hello casey on of any

25
00:01:00,480 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 2: case you didn't know she's here.

26
00:01:01,880 --> 00:01:03,200
Speaker 3: Hi, I'm here in person.

27
00:01:03,280 --> 00:01:05,800
Speaker 1: This is one of the new interactive intros that we do.

28
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:07,120
Speaker 2: Now, that's your AI.

29
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: It's a thing.

30
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:12,679
Speaker 2: But so many people from these sorts of shows have

31
00:01:12,800 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 2: come and gone. What It's not for you maybe to answer,

32
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 2: but it's you've forged such an extraordinary career. What do

33
00:01:20,520 --> 00:01:21,600
Speaker 2: you think is the difference?

34
00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:24,480
Speaker 3: Look, I think the time and the place twenty two

35
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,800
Speaker 3: years ago on television being you know, a brand new

36
00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,920
Speaker 3: singing contest and guy winning the year before and then

37
00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:33,720
Speaker 3: myself coming in as the winner for the second series.

38
00:01:33,760 --> 00:01:37,680
Speaker 3: I think everything was still new and it was still shiny,

39
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:41,120
Speaker 3: and it wasn't tainted just yet, and you know, stories

40
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:44,000
Speaker 3: were still stories produced as they were, but there was

41
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:47,800
Speaker 3: still a realness and a truth to the performer on

42
00:01:47,840 --> 00:01:50,280
Speaker 3: that stage. And I look at the shows now and

43
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 3: I just think they're so produced and they're so in

44
00:01:53,720 --> 00:01:56,840
Speaker 3: your face, and I feel like back then you had

45
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,360
Speaker 3: a microphone and a stage. There was no set. You

46
00:02:00,480 --> 00:02:03,000
Speaker 3: just stood on that stage. You had some really funky,

47
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 3: cool little fold back covers that blended into the stage,

48
00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:07,800
Speaker 3: which you had to be careful not to trip over.

49
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:11,200
Speaker 1: But that was it just simple and I look at

50
00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,960
Speaker 1: you now you're here the microphone. You know it's Friday.

51
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: Wouldn't it be great if you just I don't know.

52
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: You're not a jukebox. You're not just gonna put some

53
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,640
Speaker 1: money into you and say, can you play her a song?

54
00:02:22,680 --> 00:02:25,320
Speaker 3: But if we want to make you do it for free, yeah,

55
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,000
Speaker 3: I'll take it. I'll take money, but I also do

56
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 3: it for free.

57
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:29,480
Speaker 1: If Amanda was to a request a song? Do you

58
00:02:29,480 --> 00:02:31,280
Speaker 1: do requests? Is there something that I'm up.

59
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 3: To taking requests?

60
00:02:32,240 --> 00:02:32,480
Speaker 1: Okay?

61
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:32,799
Speaker 3: Right?

62
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 2: I reckon you do a belting version of Changs? Tina

63
00:02:36,840 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: Arena's changed? Is that in your repertoire?

64
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:41,280
Speaker 3: Yes it is. I see Tina doesn't know this, but

65
00:02:41,360 --> 00:02:44,080
Speaker 3: she taught me a lot growing up, right from the radio,

66
00:02:44,360 --> 00:02:47,720
Speaker 3: and there's bits of my voice that not so much imitate,

67
00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:51,360
Speaker 3: but just where she placed it in her songs. I've

68
00:02:51,880 --> 00:02:55,000
Speaker 3: found I do a very similar thing as well as Vannessa.

69
00:02:55,560 --> 00:02:58,880
Speaker 1: Well, Tina, she listens to this show because we were

70
00:02:58,919 --> 00:03:02,640
Speaker 1: good friends. I was on Dancing with the Stars with

71
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,240
Speaker 1: her and we were actually slept together, Tina and I well,

72
00:03:06,240 --> 00:03:09,639
Speaker 1: because what would happen? She had this dressing room and

73
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:11,640
Speaker 1: she had to go and have a sleep. And I

74
00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,960
Speaker 1: was doing breakfast radio at the time, and.

75
00:03:13,880 --> 00:03:15,079
Speaker 2: She certainly went dancing.

76
00:03:15,160 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 1: And I said, well, look, and Tina said, just come

77
00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:18,919
Speaker 1: and sleep in my dressing room on the floor. So

78
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:21,600
Speaker 1: she's sleep on the lounge and I just sleep on

79
00:03:21,639 --> 00:03:22,320
Speaker 1: the cushions on.

80
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:22,920
Speaker 2: The floor.

81
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:27,239
Speaker 3: Next to someone that you and no one.

82
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,800
Speaker 1: No one would disturb Tina because I knew not to

83
00:03:29,880 --> 00:03:32,600
Speaker 1: mess with her. So I think I slept better than

84
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,120
Speaker 1: I ever slept in my life. So no pressure, Casey.

85
00:03:35,960 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 3: All right, there's a lot of pressure, but I'll try

86
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:39,040
Speaker 3: and rise to it.

87
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:42,520
Speaker 1: What we'll do, we'll take a breather excellent, and then

88
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 1: you can warm up through your vocal exercises, right, and

89
00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: then when we come back, Casey Donovan performing Love It
