And while we don’t tend to play favourites, one of Australia’s hardest working pop musicians was completely overlooked for a peer voted nomination in this year’s ARIAs, so we think it would be shameful for Vanessa Amorosi not to walk away with anything on the night, particularly in light of her No.1 single ‘This Is Who I Am’ and subsequent chart successes with ‘Mr Mysterious’ and her album ‘Hazardous’.
