COSIMA COMES FULL CIRCLE

It’s hard to believe that it’s coming up to a full decade since Cosima De Vito first surfaced on the music scene via ‘Australian Idol’. Though she remained one of the favourites to take out the the inaugural season, the vocal strain of the competition left her voice damaged and she famously withdrew citing throat nodules.
“Looking back on the time of my life fills me with so many mixed emotions,” Cosima said in a statement. “I will always cherish the wonderful memories I have from that amazing time but I’ll also never forget how truly heart wrenching it was to leave the contest at such a high point.”
Now it seems Cosima has come full circle, announcing that she’s recording a cover version of Donna Summer’s classic ‘Hot Stuff’ – a song that kicked off her top 12 journey all that time ago.
“I’ve been on such a great ride and yes, it’s been a roller-coaster of up and downs but I’m still here doing what I love and that’s what matters. The fact that it’s also Idol’s 10 year anniversary is something that’s very special to me. I owe a lot to ‘Australian Idol’ and I’m proud of where I came from.”
The newly reworked version of ‘Hot Stuff’ is due later this year.
