its a shame that you haven't heard anything of her at all since this song. jessica mauboy and guy sebastian are in my opinion the most successful singers of australian idol from 2003 - 2009
I also find it RIDICULOUS to compare her and Callea. the li'l fella sings opera ffs .... this girl has a POPULAR music voice. It's like comparing apples and oranges - and about as useful
@OzLioness I'm not sure where she is at the moment, but she was actually touring for ages with The Sapphires. I missed it in the end, but she received rave reviews as I think I said somewhere else.
@muzicanoz She is presently in London with 'The Sapphires'. Later this year she plays Mama Cass in a new musical called 'Flowerchildren' about The Mamas and the Papas. Casey continues to perform in her solo show 'Big, Beautiful & Sexy' and has released two singles in the last 12 months. An album is forthcoming.
@WhitneyElizabethH It's a reality show not a music competition -hence the strange result. Your comment's just not true at all. Casey was a complete trainwreck on Beatles night, as she knew. It was amazing she survived and Ricki-Lee left. She was often pitchy on other nights. Anthony nailed every week and still sings everything from rock or jazz to classical. Marina Prior said on TV that he 'can do everything'. People can judge for themselves - YouTube has lots of Anthony's other genres.
@WhitneyElizabethH Such a shame that 6 years on people still have to 'compare' Casey and Anthony! They are both excellent vocalists and should be judged on their own merit. Funnily enough, I personally only enjoyed her doing ballads, and consider Callea the more versatile, but am reasonable enough, and fair enough, to accept that some may enjoy her in other genres.
@dannycool38 She lost her record contract but that's typical of Sony. She's still performing and has had a very successful run in a musical during the past year. I have some more recent clips up here too.
She's far from oblivion. Shes successfully performing, just not on TV as much as her idol appearance. She's actually doing what she won Idol for - Singing.
@SassyMcHassy In WA she actually received very good reviews for her acting in The Sapphires, as well as for the singing. She was singled out for most praise among a well-known cast.
@virgdl Yes it is the same song as Giorgia's. It was originally written by Dianne Warren. I'm sorry it won't show your post because for some reason it's been marked as spam and I can't change it.
Casey has a new single 'Big, Beautiful and Sexy'. It's available digitally from 7th August. You can listen to it on youtube - just search Big, Beautiful and Sexy - Casey Donovan.
omg, i was trying to remember who sang this song first! Cece Winans sang it in 1998 Love Cece winan's gospel spin on this song! Casey was a true talent though.
@tedneeleyfan I agree that she has a lovely voice - though I far prefer The Prayer to this. I'm happy she's doing well now and looking forward to seeing her in The Sapphires soon.
WOW! I'm American but stumbled across this chick and shes so awesome!

If Anthony Callea came out earlier in Idol you'd know that he'd win by sympathy vote.
Anthony sold more copies then Casey did it's all about the sales.
It's not a contest, It's about who sells the most.

That's what annoyed me.
But I'm proud of her that she became a one hit wonder.
But Anthony has sold heaps of money and The Prayer was the biggest song of 2005.
The runner-up always outshines the Idol.
Just like Jessica Mauboy did in 2006.

great song, fine singer who brought some much emotions into the song.Well done Casey better the the other aus idol singles for sure.
