iluvaustralianidol: What song would you have liked to sing on Idol but didn't get a chance to?
Tarisai_Vushe: I was going to sing “I Will Always Love You” with audience choice actually. But I will still always love you anyway!

nancymoyle: Who are you most inspired by?
Tarisai_Vushe: Aleisha Keys and Tina Turner

fantastic4: Hey Tarisai, how are you going today after last night’s comments from the judges?
Tarisai_Vushe: Well, I am still angry but I have actually kinda calmed down this afternoon. This morning I was worse, I was really angry.

Ninjahh: Hey Tarisai! Congratulations on getting so far. Just wanted to know - if you were still on Idol, what would you have sung next week?
Tarisai_Vushe: “I Will Always Love You”

Winterbirds: Hi Tarisai, just wondering how did you find the ARIAs?  What was it like interacting with people in the music industry?
Tarisai_Vushe: They were giving us advice and I remember Kasey Chambers in particular - she was really beautiful. Just like how Matthew thought we might have to hide, it wasn't like that - there were nice people there. I met Kasey, Ricki-Lee and Damien Leith - I love him! Delta Goodrem, Natalie Bassingthwaighte and Operator Please... they are absolutely gorgeous!

chubum1429: Who do you think is going to win?
Tarisai_Vushe: I want Matthew Corby to win and I am 100% sure he will win! I know Matthew Corby is winning this year full stop and I am happy about that. I love Matty.

EclecticTango: Tarisai, I think the show has lost a lot with your departure. But now, moving on, what are your plans for the future?
Tarisai_Vushe: Expecting a baby....  JOKING!!!!!!!!!! I am going to record a demo and stuff like that - just like any other artist. I will work for it!

*Daniela*: Hey Tarisai! What was your favourite song to perform?
Tarisai_Vushe: Even though I got grilled for it by Holden, I loved "I Knew You Were Waiting For Me".

Nancymoyle: After being at the ARIAs on Sunday night, have you imagined what it's going to be like in the future when you're up there receiving YOUR award?
Tarisai_Vushe: It would be an honour! And I am looking forward to waiting a couple of years to come, or soon... especially after being told I am fake!

InLoveXo: Who were you closest to in the house?
Tarisai_Vushe: Lana and Matthew Corby.

sarahb95: Hey Tarisai! Who was your fave judge?
Tarisai_Vushe: Kyle... easy baby! ‘Cause he loved me so much. And I loved Marcia too. I loved Marcia. Followed by Mark... even though I screamed at him Sunday, because he was wrong about it. Those three, they have given me criticisms that are actually building me up. But Mark just lost the plot on Sunday and I am still pissed off with him about it.

idol_freak: Is it going to be hard getting back into the swing of things in your normal ordinary life?
Tarisai_Vushe: Honey! Nup! Because the same Tarisai that is on Idol is the same that will continue afterwards.

dueysays: Did you think you would be going home last night?
Tarisai_Vushe: I had an idea because those two judges, Mark and Dicko, kinda diluted people's comments... and everyone else was given positive comments. Which shows they wanted me to go. They knew what they were doing.

Siennapaige: Even though it is disappointing, what are you most looking forward to about leaving?
Tarisai_Vushe: I'm not looking forward to leaving! I am gonna go back and knock on the windows and say, "Guys, please let me back in!" Nah, I am looking forward to seeing my family.

Nancymoyle: Do you think the people accusing you of being fake were really just fakes themselves?
Tarisai_Vushe: Possibly. Because they were judging someone they don't really know. Thanks for asking that question hon. You rock

hotguy25: May I Tarisai,  are you really only 20 years old?
Tarisai_Vushe: Yeah, I am 20 years old.

EclecticTango: What was the greatest challenge you faced on Idol?
Tarisai_Vushe: You know what? Just screaming at Mark on Sunday night after the show... that was the greatest challenge, because it takes a lot to stand up for yourself live in the dressing room, and scream at a judge, and no one else has ever done that.

sarahb95: Who do you think has the best voice in the comp?
Tarisai_Vushe: Personally, I think Matthew Corby. He is young but he has a fabulous voice. And I think I have a fabulous voice as well. And so does everyone! It's just different for each person. But Matthew is best.

Idolfreakloza: What is some advice you would give to kids who wanna try out for Idol?
Tarisai_Vushe: No matter what people say to you, stand up for yourselves boys and girls. And definitely go and try out and audition and if you're annoyed with the judges' opinions - let it loose! They don't have a right to pinpoint people with something that is wrong.

Jammisiscool: What kinds of activities did you do during the week?
Tarisai_Vushe: Write songs, workshops, practice my songs, sleep, shout on the phone, go on the internet.

Tara2187: Who is your favourite singer/band of all time?
Tarisai_Vushe: Tina Turner, the old days. Whitney Houston and Alicia Keys and Beyonce.

hotguy25: Hey Tarisai, do you play any kinds of sport at all or is it just singing all week?
Tarisai_Vushe: While I was in the house, dude... to be honest, I just did a lot of walking to exercise because I hardly had the time!

sarahhhhhhhh: If you could have one super power for one day, what would you want it to be?
Tarisai_Vushe: To give the world a Dicko and Holden free day. All contestants who would try out in the future to be protected from them and to be able to switch their brains off and be still for the rest of their lives. Locked for 100 years! That would be great. Like Futurama!

tigs101: Hey Tarisai, what would you say to all the young kids out there that are shy?
Tarisai_Vushe: Guys, don't be shy! Shyness limits a lot of things for you in life and we are all human beings and there is no need to be shy around each other.

gayle231064: What are you going to do now outside of Idol, now that you have been booted off?
Tarisai_Vushe: After I have been BOOTED OFF, I am going to hang out with friends, focus on my music and keep writing my songs and record my demo.

Tarisai_Vushe: I just want to thank all my fans for voting for me and for understanding me and standing up for me from those two rats judges Dicko and Mark. This ain't the end of me boys and girls! xx I love you!
