Final 10 – Disco baby, yeah!

- Hot Stuff
Cosima ripped this song up in the first season of Australian Idol. I was looking forward to what T could bring to the song. As usual, her vocal was amazing. Unfortunately, the “performance aspect” wasn’t strong. She moved around a little, but it looked a little stiff, and a little awkward.
