Talk:Casey Donovan (singer)

Family
Nothing is given about any family problems, except the controversies section which mentions a restraining order. - Matthew238 01:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Changes
I have changed the following sections: (i apologise if i am not doing this correctly. I am new to editing wikipedia)


 * "Casey is widely recognised as the least successful Australian Idol winner, with only two Top 40 singles. Winners and runners-up (including Anthony Callea, who ultimately lost to Casey) from the first three seasons of Australian Idol have all enjoyed at least double this number."

Is there any evidence of Casey being recognised as being the "least successful" Idol winner?


 * "Casey has been revealed to join the second season lineup of Celebrity Overhaul on the Nine Network along with fellow Idol Laura Gissara."

This is a rumour which is definately wrong, Casey herself has stated it is false. (As for Laura Gissara, I do not know)

Also, on some of the other Australian Idol's wikipedia pages, "The Final 10: Cast Album" is mentioned in the Discography, should this be added to Casey's?

She sang "the flame", which was track number 2 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatflyingpig (talk • contribs) 14:29, 5 January 2007 (UTC)


 * You're fine deleting that info. Any unsourced info that are highly questionable should be deleted immediately, especially for articles about living people. Yes, you can add the info about her singing "The Flame" from the album. -- RaNdOm26 05:58, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

I have removed this section as it is misleading: Can someone please re-write it if it is going to be added again. Casey was not involved, and the way it is written sounds as if she was fighting with five other people, not true, the article states she was the victim, if even involved.
 * She was involved in a brawl with five other girls after the Brisbane Broncos vs Sydney Roosters NRL fixture at Sydney's Aussie Stadium on the 9th of April, 2007.

The "reference" article even states: "Casey Donovan was the target of a vicious catfight after the Sydney Roosters and Brisbane Broncos game on Friday." "one witness, who placed Donovan (pictured) as a bystander" "An Aussie Stadium spokesman confirmed the incident had taken place but said there was no report of Donovan's involvement." "Yes, there was an incident involving Casey's friends after some disparaging remarks were made," "But the comments were not about Casey and she wasn't there when it happened - she came down from the stands and met up with her friends later."

So basically she was in the same football stadium as a brawl... (great story Sydney confidential)

Please read sources if you are going to use them, and use them correctly. - Fatflyingpig 20 April 2007 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatflyingpig (talk • contribs) 12:40, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I have removed this section: "She expressed interest in applying to be a contestant on the second season of The Biggest Loser, but eventually did not become involved with the latest series."

Casey has stated this is completely false on her official forum "OH AND BY THE WAY JST TO CLEAR THINGS UP I DIDNT TRY AND ENTER THE BIGGEST LOSER I MEAN COME ON I WOULD TRY OUT FOR BIG BROTHER B4 THAT".

Again, showing the quality of News Corp "journalists"... - Fatflyingpig 20 April 2007 — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fatflyingpig (talk • contribs) 12:52, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Whatever dimwit keeps putting this rubbish on the page should grow up: This has never been a rumor. As far as I know contestants are allowed to vote for themselves anyway (and many contestants have stated their families and friends vote for them). At 55 cents a vote, its going to add up quickly, and one persons votes aren't really going to make a differnce against the millions votes cast. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.231.60.249 (talk) 12:10, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Rumors are that she cheated by winning Australian Idol, possibly by secretly voting for herself many times.

This needs a reference if it is going to be included: (good luck finding one) Casey is widely recognised as the least successful Australian Idol winner, with only two Top 40 singles. Winners and runners-up (including Anthony Callea, who ultimately lost to Casey) from the first three seasons of Australian Idol have all enjoyed at least double this number. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 58.169.177.2 (talk) 12:35, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Pentacle/Faith
I don't think I've ever seen a picture or interview where Ms Donovn isn't wearing a pentacle. Has anyone seen any media reference to this? Considering how many of the Idol contestants have been from "Prosperity Theology" megachurches, it is of some potential interest. Alexlaw65 (talk) 23:37, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

The Sapphires
The link to The Sapphires is to an article on a completely unconnected American group rather than the play about an Australian group that Casey Donovan appeared in 122.107.58.27 (talk) 00:21, 20 June 2010 (UTC)

The Actor & internet issues controversy following Australian Idol win
It occurs to me that it may be worth including a section, or at least a reference somewhere in this entry, to the incident immediately after Casey Donovan won Australian Idol, when thousands of people googled "Casey Donovan" and clicked on links leading to porn sites associated with the other Casey Donovan, a male porn actor. It was reported on in both print and television media at the time. I won't add anything myself, but will listn to hear what other contributors think. At the very least, however, I think the article ahould have a redirection link at the top pf the article reading "This article is about the singer. For the actor, see Casey Donovan (actor)".
