'''Natalie Gauci''' (born 26 November 1981) is an [[Australian]] [[singer]] of [[Italy|Italian]] and [[Malta|Maltese]] descent. Gauci undertook music tuition at the [[Victorian College of the Arts]], formed her own band that played gigs in [[Melbourne]], while also working as a music teacher. After an appearance on [[Triple J]] ''[[Unearthed]]'', she successfully auditioned for the [[Australian Idol 2007|fifth series]] of ''[[Australian Idol]]'' in 2007 and went on to win the series.

Gauci subsequently signed a record deal with [[Sony BMG Australia]] and released her debut single "[[Here I Am (Natalie Gauci song)|Here I Am]]" which reached number two on the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Singles Chart]] and gained a gold accreditation. The single was followed by the released her debut album titled ''[[The Winner's Journey (Natalie Gauci album)|The Winner's Journey]]''. It reached number eleven on the [[ARIA Charts|ARIA Albums Chart]] and went on to be certified platinum. In 2010, she formed an electro-pop band with producer Paul Brandoli called Tune In Tokyo, of which she is the lead singer.

==Early life==
Gauci studied at [[Emmaus College (Melbourne)| Emmaus College, Vermont South]] before studying music at the [[Victorian College of the Arts]], and from the age of 17 began writing songs.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22768276-5006022,00.html |title=Melbourne's Natalie Gauci ready for Australian Idol final|publisher=[[news.com.au]]|work=[[The Herald Sun]]|date=16 November 2007|accessdate=17 August 2008}}</ref><ref name=HeraldSun>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,22912718-5006024,00.html |title=Australian Idol Natalie Gauci tuned in for success|publisher=[[news.com.au]]|work=[[The Herald Sun]]|author=Cameron Adams|date=13 December 2007|accessdate=14 April 2008}}</ref> She performed as a [[session musician]], and began writing and producing her debut [[Extended play|EP]], ''Take It or Leave It'' which was released in 2006.<ref name="allmusic">{{cite web|url=http://www.allmusic.com/artist/natalie-gauci-p1018943/biography |title=Natalie Gauci > Overview|publisher=[[Allmusic]]|author=Chris True|accessdate=14 April 2008}}</ref>

Gauci went on to form the Natalie Gauci Band with fellow Melbourne musicians. The band played [[soul music|soul]], [[pop music|pop]], and [[jazz]] at local pubs, clubs, weddings, and corporate functions.<ref name="HeraldSun" /> Gauci uploaded work from ''Take It or Leave It'' to the [[Triple J]] website, and was subsequently chosen for ''[[Unearthed]]'', earning her some radio airplay and coverage.<ref name=HeraldSun /><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.triplejunearthed.com/artists/View.aspx?artistid=5186 |title=Natalie Gauci|publisher=[[Triple J]]|work=[[Unearthed]]|accessdate=14 April 2008}}</ref> To help fund her work, Gauci worked as a vocals teacher at the [[Academy of Mary Immaculate]], [[Fitzroy, Victoria|Fitzroy]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.academy.vic.edu.au/teaching/performing_arts.html |title= Performing Arts Staff and Students|publisher=Academy of Mary Immaculate|accessdate=14 April 2008}} and Assumption College, Kilmore.</ref>

==Australian Idol==
Gauci auditioned in [[Melbourne]], [[Victoria (Australia)|Victoria]] and performed an original song, "Free Falling", and a rendition of [[Gloria Gaynor]]'s "[[I Will Survive]]". Judges [[Ian Dickson (music mogul)|Ian Dickson]] and [[Mark Holden]] were impressed by Gauci's latter performance, with Dickson commenting "I think you can win this competition". However, [[Marcia Hines]] warned that such a comment had been "the kiss of death" for contestants in the past.<ref name=TimesofMalta>{{cite web|url=http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20071210/interview/down-to-earth-singer-living-life-of-the-stars |title=Down-to-earth singer living life of the stars|publisher=''[[Times of Malta]]''|date=10 December 2007|author=Jennifer Mifsud|accessdate=14 April 2008}}</ref> Gauci advanced to the next round, and continued to impress the judges, resulting in her selection in the [[Australian_Idol_(season_5)#Semi_Finals|top 24]]. Her performance of "[[Hurt (Christina Aguilera song)|Hurt]]" by [[Christina Aguilera]] did not gain enough votes to proceed to the [[Australian Idol (season 5)#The Top 12 Finalists|top 12]]. However, she was selected by the judges to perform in the wildcard, an episode from which four contestants would be chosen to complete the top 12. Gauci performed "[[Feeling Good]]" by [[Nina Simone]]. She did not gain enough votes, but was selected by the judges to be the final top 12 member.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/entertainment/story/0,23663,22360120-5000660,00.html |title=Wildcard entrants complete Australian Idol Top 12|publisher=[[news.com.au]]|date=4 September 2007|accessdate=29 September 2008}}</ref>

Gauci progressed successfully through the top 12 knockout phase; it was not until the eighth week, with five contestants remaining, that she appeared in the [[Australian Idol (season 5)#Elimination chart|bottom three]]—the three contestants with the lowest number of votes that week. Several of her performances earned acclaim; ''[[The Courier Mail]]'' noted her renditions of [[Rihanna]]'s "[[Umbrella (song)|Umbrella]]", [[Kate Bush]]'s "[[Running Up That Hill]]", and [[Gnarls Barkley]]'s "[[Crazy (Gnarls Barkley song)|Crazy]]" as highlights.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/couriermail/story/0,23739,22821408-5003402,00.html |title=Best birthday gift for Idol winner|publisher=[[news.com.au]]|date=26 November 2007|accessdate=29 September 2008}} {{Dead link|date=August 2010|bot=RjwilmsiBot}}</ref> Her performances of "Umbrella", [[Divinyls]]' "Boys in Town", and [[Ella Fitzgerald]]'s "[[How High the Moon]]" earned "[[Australian_Idol#Touchdowns|touchdowns]]" from Holden.<ref name=TimesofMalta />

Gauci and [[Matt Corby]] were the final two contestants of the top 12, and thus progressed to the grand finale. At the conclusion of every series of ''Australian Idol'', the winner releases a [[single (music)|single]] dubbed the "Winner's Single". The 2007 winner's single, "[[Here I Am (Natalie Gauci song)|Here I Am]]" was written by [[Lindy Robbins]] and Tom Leonard, who had previously written for [[The Backstreet Boys]]. Gauci was critical of the song when she first heard it, professing confusion as it was written with male vocals. She thus rewrote the song to be more consistent with her style of music.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,22775368-5001026,00.html |title=Idol single a dud|publisher=[[news.com.au]]|work=[[The Daily Telegraph]]|author=Kate Adamson|date=18 November 2007|accessdate=30 September 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://news.ninemsn.com.au/article.aspx?id=326088 |title=Idol finalists pan winner's single|publisher=[[ninemsn]]|author=Jay Savage|date=18 November 2007|accessdate=30 September 2008}}</ref> On 25 November 2007, Gauci was declared the winner of ''Australian Idol 2007''.
