Cosima De Vito's withdrawl from Australian Idol 1 

this is the series where Australia actually cared. this series captivated the nation, it was just never the same after this

This has been driving me crazy trying to find this since I was a little girl and this moment stuck in my mind for some reason. Wowww

And then we never heard from her again... This is even sadder looking back, knowing that she just fades into obscurity.

I did cry when she made this announcement. Hell, I'm tearing up even seeing it again now. She was my fave from the very early days. She is one amazing lady.

I was emotional when Cosima pulled out due to vocal problems

I started to cry when she said that :(

That is sweet when she strokes Shannon's cheek before she makes the speech.

Saddest moment in Australian idol history

These guys saying she did because she would have lost are idiots. I personally know Cosima and she pulled out because she would have destroyed her throat if she kept on singing. The nodes on her throat would have developed into cancer. It was the producers who wanted her to pull out that way and she was not happy about that because she genuinely cared for Shannon and Guy.

I was 5 when I saw this moment when Cosima had to withdraw from Australian Idol due to vocal problems

I always thought it was ridiculous that they put Guy through before announcing that Cosima was leaving the show. How fair is that to Shannon knowing he might have possibly been going home that week?

this was so sad to see cosima leave she would of won if she didnt have to leave

Hi Codina I love you 😘 and thank you 😊

what happened to paulini she was good. none of them bring out songs. could be a bunch of duds?

She was a definite winner if she hadn't left. It's such a shame, because she's faded into the background. If she had been the winner, she would have been huge! Just look at Guy!!!

I remember how shocked i was when she withdrew

ok. was it me.. or did anyone else piss themselves laughing when Guy appeared on the screen? LOL THAT HAIR!!

So sad, she should have won.

The guys had no idea what was going on!

Yikes at the hosts during the compilation at the end... You need to smile more and hubba, hubba, hubba... Things that you would be cancelled for now that was totally acceptable in the early 2000's.

Ok maybe she would have won if she stayed on. But the thing is, every contestant who makes the top12, especially the winners, are supposedly the hottest things around. Why is it then that 90% of them, especially the winners, disappear into obscurity? If Cosima De Vito is such an incredible singer, why isn't she appearing in the ARIA charts? What happened to all the winners? Apart from Guy Sebastian, where are all the others??

Does anyone else think that pitch perfect did a spoof on this?

Ha ha the scream from the audience no 😂

LOL at Guys hair.

I know that this is sad, but she choose to do this because she knew she was going to lose the votes for this round and I know thats going to be hard for people to read, but its the truth. Thats why she did it after Guy was selected first. Should have she been selected she would not have done this...

Lol, I remember this
