Grande Dame of the Week

The diva from down under....Courtney Act.



Courtney Act made a named for herself in 2003, when after trying out and failing to get on Australian Idol as Shane Jenek, she returned for the next day’s audition as Courtney Act. Courtney’s explosive, energetic performing style, coupled with her joyous personality, sent audiences wild in the first series of ‘Australian Idol’. With performances of songs like “You Don’t Own Me”, “W.O.M.A.N.” and “You Shook Me All Night Long”, the country was mesmerized and Australia had a new, slightly less conventional, sweetheart. She was also incidentally the first drag contestant on any “Idol” franchise. The appearance led to many new opportunities, including a make-up contract as one of the TV faces of Sheer Cover Make-up, a role in the Australian company of the musical RENT, and numerous TV show appearances including Australia’s Next Top Model, and can be seen all over Australia with her nightclub act in varoius lounges and dance halls.In between a vacuous social life and her hectic nightclub schedule, Courtney works in several programs in the field of Youth Education.







And the song that made her known, Welcome to Disgraceland
