30 Ways of Looking at Marumaru South: (18) The Karaoke Queen

The karaoke queen has only been on television once, when It's in the Bag came to town. (It's long enough ago that she can fool herself into believing it was Selwyn Toogood she bantered with, rather than Nick Tansley.)

She tried out in Dunedin for the second season of New Zealand Idol, but only Frankie Stevens said nice things to her.

Now she lives for every second Wednesday. She sings all sorts: 'Suspicious Minds', ‘I Think We’re Alone Now’, ‘How Bizarre’. Sometimes she does requests.

She is not allowed to win the bar tab anymore. That’s recognition enough for her.
