Ex-Idol gets a deja-vu feeling
June 7, 2005
A YEAR is a long time in pop music. Or is it?
On the fence...Ricki-Lee.
Ricki-Lee Coulter,who was turfed from last year's Australian Idol, admits to a sense of deja-vu while helping out at this year's Idol auditions.
"I was really nervous and went straight back to that sick feeling you get in your guts," Ricki-Lee (who has dropped her surname for entertainment purposes) told music reporter Stephen Downie.
Unlike some previous Idol wannabes Ricki-Lee has managed to keep herself in the public eye.
First there was the role on Nine's Celebrity Circus, now the Gold Coast gal has a single, Hell No!, on the independent label Shock, to be released on June 13.
Asked if she was disappointed not to get a deal with Idol main stable, Sony-BMG, she said: "Sony shmony. You're never promised anything. We did have talks [but] I'm with Shock now," she said.
Indeed, after being quoted slagging Sony-BMG over the way it handled Idol winner Casey Donovan, Ricki-Lee knows she should choose her words more wisely when commenting on Idol matters.
"I've learnt now I don't say anything bad about everyone.
"I'm everybody's friend. I like sitting on the fence."
