 Casey Donovan - Trikiwiki
Australian singer Casey Donovan (not to be confused with the porn star of the same name) was born on May 13th 1988 in New South Wales, Australia into a family of musicians.
Casey was a student at the Australian Institue of Music in Sydney when she entered and won the second series of reality talent TV show Australian Idol.
Casey's success in the show was unexpected: she does not fit into the typical pop star stereotype, a self-taught guitarist and songwriter she is more notable for her passion and talent than for being a pretty face.

Donovan performed her debut single, Listen To Your Heart, a ballad penned by US songwriter Diane Warren, last night – but only after she had to ask Callea what the first line was.

 Australian Idol 2004 winner Casey Donovan - Page 2 - Gossip Rocks Forum
Unfortunately for Casey, she didn't stand a chance against runner up Anthony Callea once Idol was finished.
I still think Anthony Callea is the best singer from any of the Idol shows in any country and still can't believe he didn't win the damn thing.
As for Casey's weight, it's sad to see that she's gone from bad to worse; however, for someone who was 16 at the time, I thought she handled it all very maturely and said 'this is me - accept me for who I am' and people obviously did.

 Casey battles the odds - TV & Radio - www.smh.com.au
Between power pop man and professional musician Courtney Murphy and heart-throb, singer and vocal coach Anthony Callea, she is seemingly the most amateur of the three.
Consistently one of the strongest and most emotive singers in the competition, she has been descibed as "exquisite" "timeless" and "beyond her years" by judge Mark Holden and consistently applauded by the other members of Idol firing squad.
Considering that Casey has been awarded resident goof Mark Holden's 'touchdowns' multiple times, her chances of winning the competition could be better than her vote history suggests.

Together, they would narrate the story, prattling endlessly on about the wonderment of Casey's sudden developmental spurt, and would jabber on disconnectedly about her unique 'courage' and determination to 'be true to yourself'.
If Casey was being true to herself - as I wrote to my friend B. this morning - she would have been up on that stage in a pair of torn one-stars, some stained denim jeans, and a Metallica t-shirt.
This is the Casey that showed up in Sydney - and if she had stayed true to herself, this is the Casey that would have been weeping like a bottle-shop owner during Schoolie's Week on the Opera House stage last night.

Donovan, an aspiring actor and successful fashion model, was the featured performer in the first big gay porn film, The Boys in the Sand (1971).
Through the 1970s and into the 1980s Donovan not only acted in a series of pornographic films, but he also became a poster boy for the burgeoning gay movement--not through direct political activity, but because of his high profile as an unashamed, self-confessed gay man.
Whereas Donovan represented an earlier generation of gay men, Parker came to symbolize the late-1970s "clone" look--the macho, flannel-clad men often seen strolling the streets of San Francisco's gay Castro district.

I was talking to Casey's step-dad and he said Casey did get a couple of calls from newspapers asking if she was going to be a contestant in 'Biggest Loser';, but he took the first call and he said that he didn't know anything about it and Casey had not been approached.
He told them that she had given up smoking and they are concentrating on Casey changing her lifestyle and not focus on diet - that they are taking a long term and permanent approach, no quick fixes.
