KATE COOK - A STAND OUT PERFORMANCE

Hi All,

Kate Cook was definitely the stand out performance last night in Australian Idol top 12. She just captivated the crowd and the Judges just can't get enough and I have to say I am a big fan... not just because I know her but because she is doing what she loves and she is fantastic at it.

So please, lets get behind Kate and vote Kate to 191010... lets help keep Kate's dream alive.

Thank you for your support.
