She has scored three Touchdowns from Mark Holden and has only been in the bottom 2 once. On 12 November she was the first announced through to the final two, making her the third Australian Idol wildcard contestant to make it to the Finale. Gauci will record the winner's single, "Here I Am" along with Matt Corby at Kings Cross studio in Sydney, and will perform the song at the Grand finale.

Australian Idol

Natalie Gauci auditioned in Melbourne, Victoria. She was chosen by the judges to enter the top 24, but during her semi- final round, she did not gain enough votes to proceed to the Top 12. She was then chosen back to perform at the Wildcard Show and once again was not voted into the Top 12, hence the judges chose her and Carl Risely.

During the Top 12 performances, she received three of Mark Holden's coveted "touchdowns". Her first after her rendition of Rihanna's song Umbrella". She later received two more touchdowns in his following performances, one for "Boys in Town" by Divinyls and the last for "How High The Moon" from Ella Fitzgerald.

On the 12th of November, she was the first to be announced into the Final 2, later joined by Matt Corby. She recorded the winner's single, "Here I Am" along with Matt Corby at Kings Cross studio in Sydney, and will perform the song at the Grand Finale.
