	Paulini Curuenavuli - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Paulini Curuenavuli (born Pauline Curuenavuli on 15 October 1982) is an Australian pop and RandB singer, who is best known for coming 4th in the first series of Network Ten's Australian Idol in Australia in 2003 and for the #1 Australian success of her debut single "Angel Eyes".
		Paulini performed with Emily, Ricki-Lee and Kate as the Young Divas, singing their current single in the grand finale of Dancing With The Stars.
		Paulini and the other Young Divas will be on the ABBAMANIA special on Sunday 12th November at 8.30pm on the nine network where she will be doing a duet with fellow Young Divas, Ricki Lee.

	Paulini's busy after all those Idol moments - www.smh.com.au
		Fijian-born Curuenavuli was widely tipped to win the competition thanks to her angelic voice and a sympathy vote arising from the uproar caused by her decision to wear an unflattering gold dress, drawing harsh criticism from judges Mark Holden and Ian "Dicko" Dickson.
		Curuenavuli, however, would be happy just to get a recording contract out of her appearance on the show.
		Curuenavuli, who will return to the show for an appearance in the grand final episode, said she was surprised and pleased to have made it as far as she did.

		But those who have seen Curuenavuli perform would likely agree that with natural talent like hers it won't be long before a deal comes beckoning her way.
		Paulini's musical inspirations include Elton John, Whitney Houston and Stevie Wonder, and this has certainly been evidenced through the maturity and diversity she showed in performance, and her disdain towards today's so-called R'n'B artists and their modelled images.
		Yes it does, especially when all throughout our interview Curuenavuli was quick to can many of the show's so-called good intentions, but even quicker to defend them with a balanced understanding well beyond her young age, as well as much praise for everyone involved with its making.

	Ovations - Paulini Curuenavuli (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		From the day she first auditioned for the show, Paulini was heralded as one of the most promising performers and vocalists in the competition, winning a dedicated legion of fans in both the viewers and the judges, with flawless renditions of tracks by Beyonce, Etta James and Aretha Franklin and her sweet, non–diva like charm.
		While other finalists have released albums in the defining musical style they showcased during the competition, Paulini has emerged with a debut album that reflects who she is as a music lover and performer – an album that refuses to box her purely into one sound.
		Born in Fiji, Paulini moved to Australia in 1986 at the age of four with her parents and four siblings, settling in Sydney's south–west, where she went to school and regularly attended church.

		As it turned out, a bribe by her father to coax the shy, 10-year-old Paulini onto stage to sing in a church talent quest was the fateful beginning of a promising new career.

		Paulini: Yes, I did start singing at church as I grew up in a Christian family and joined the children’s choir in our church and then went on to the praise and worship team.
		Paulini: I think, as you said before, everyone has their own opinions of things and they can say whatever they want, and I think a lot of it had to do with their low self esteem and envy and jealousy.
		Paulini: We went to all the capital cities, all the different States, and now we are doing a tour where we are more in the suburbs and in the clubs.

		Of Fijian descent, 23 year old Australian Paulini Curvenaruli is one of the finalists of Down Under's equivalent of the American Idols.
		Though she does not possess the verve and vocal tenacity of say a Whitney Houston, she is vocally compensated with some silky jazzy vibes with traces of Sade and Chante Moore.
		Though comparisons are inevitable, Paulini's cover of Whitney Houston's "Where You Are" is a little portentous as her delivery of this love hued ballad is nowhere near the proximity of Houston's passionate original.

		Following the show, Dicko was chastised by eating-disorder experts who claimed that his comments sent a negative message to young girls watching the show - but what was perhaps more disturbing was that his comments seemed a natural part of the pop industry.
		Before appearing on Idol, Paulini had been a contestant on similar talent show Star Struck, only to find her hard work getting her nowhere.
		Paulini thinks the problem is not so much to do with size as it is the 'need' for female artists to be sex objects.

	I Feel Love: Paulini! Paulini! Paulini!
		Wow…it's always nice to be vindicated; I'd always thought Paulini Curuenavuli was the real "sleeper" of the Australian Idol competition and tonight she proved me more right that even I could have hoped.
		Oh well, no matter, she was amazing, and in fact the 70s theme suited her because I always thought she had a very disco diva quality to her, that slight sheen of inaccessibility, almost impersonality.
		well i think ur gay paulini is the greatest how dicko said she was fat was wayy harsh shes got sexy curves and she knows how to use them and that voice.....

		Viewers responded with a wave of outrage and it was a more diplomatic Dickson on display last night, tipping Sydney-based Curuenavuli for success, based on not just her vocal talents but her "inner beauty".
