about
Chanel Cole is a musician from Bega, New South Wales. Her fame grew largely from her appearance as a finalist in the second series of Australian Idol (2004). She was eliminated from the competition on 25 October having reached fifth place, despite her stubborn refusal to be moulded or play for votes. Her quirky song choices and unique, jazz-influenced vocal style was a far cry from the traditionally inauthentic and melismatic Idol contestant. This distinction, along with her individuality, quick comebacks and off-beat sense of humour, won her a loyal cult following of fans, who for the most part did not fit into the program's target audience of female teenagers. Cole's eccentric hair accessories, which often included feathers, flowers and other ornaments (most notably a plastic bird in her performance of "Hit 'Em Up Style"), also added to her notoriety. She warned the Australian public of this when she auditioned for the show and said it could range from pumpkins to plastic babies!
