I really struggled to understand what happened in the package with James Morrison. I think what I’ve been able to work out is just all that tension that he spoke about - you know that ‘don’t stop me’ and that tension in my neck – I know from my point of view that was nervous tension and I was extremely mortified and embarrassed when he mentioned that I’d learnt the wrong melody.

He didn’t just say it to me, he said it in front of 20 professional musos that were behind me and I was nervous enough being in front of them. I felt a sense of pressure to do well and when I found out I’d learnt the wrong melody, I didn’t want them all to know how nervous I was and how upset I was. I didn’t want to stand there and go, ‘Oh, I’ve learnt the wrong melody, I’m so pathetic!’ which is where the whole comment of ‘Fake it till you make it’ actually came from.

I was saying that I had to fake that my attitude was still upbeat, and try and fake that I wasn’t as upset as I was because it wasn’t a forum for me to talk about my insecurities, it was a forum for me to be professional and work on my music. That’s where the ‘Fake it till you make it’ comment came from - it is not my moral on life whatsoever, but I felt that in that instance, the only thing I could do was fake my own confidence and not show how much my confidence had been dented.

I suppose I just wanted to clear that up. Other than that, it’s been a really good week. As sad as it is when people get eliminated, every week the group gets closer and it makes eliminations harder. Losing Scott…The house smells better, he’s not farting every two seconds, but you definitely miss the personalities. I’ve had some really good times this week, just with the group hanging out. They just make me laugh so much.

This week is musical theatre and I have such a soft spot for musical theatre. I’d love to one day maybe dabble in musical theatre, so instead of moulding the genre to me, I’ve completely thrown myself into musical theatre mode. I can’t wait for everyone to see that side of me.

A huge thanks to my fans and I really hope I can be here next week. The support I received after Jay-Dee’s comments to me was just amazing and really helped me know that the people out there that I know are voting for me, know that I’m here for the right reasons.

The way people crowded around and supported me really helped me Monday morning to know that everything was going to be ok. People weren’t fooled by him throwing that concept at me, people were defensive and I really appreciated that, so a huge thank you. Hi to everyone back in Townsville.

Lots of love and hugs and kisses,

Kim
