Kate Miller-Heidke visited Seven’s ‘Sunrise’ the other morning in Sydney, Australia to perform ‘Space They Cannot Touch’. Afterwards, she spoke with co-hosts Melissa Doyle and David Koch about what she’s been up to since her previous visit, supporting Cyndi Lauper on tour and singing ‘Girls Just Want To Have Fun’ with her, and what she has planned next.
The performance and interview at YouTube has since been removed.
Kate Miller-Heidke checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Monday (March 3) after opening for Cyndi Lauper in King’s Park, Perth on February 22nd, calling it “one of the most memorable nights of my life.” The Australian singer writes, “She gave a heart-stoppingly brilliant, energetic, moving performance. ‘True Colours’ made me cry – I think it’s the most perfect pop ballad ever written. Before her encore, she came over to where we were watching side of stage and said in her funny little accent, ‘Hey, did you guys play just before?’ ‘Yees’ we wobbled. ‘Well do you wanna come up and sing Girls with me?’ There was a silence. ‘Yes please, that would be great’ Nicole and I said (or something like that).” Read more, including a photo of Kate with Cyndi, here.
Kate Miller-Heidke checked in with fans on her blog at MySpace on Friday (February 8) with the following message:
Something strange happened to me today. I was ordering some Vietnamese takeaway for me and Keir, when the guy behind the counter says ‘This might sound weird, and I don’t even like her, but are you Kate Miller-Heidke’?
‘Actually yes I am, and thanks for letting me know that you don’t like me’ I said awkwardly.
He got a slightly bemused look on his face and then replied ‘Well, I like her, I just don’t like her music.’
Notwithstanding the fact that it is impossible to like me and not my music (unless you are a close personal friend, and even then it would be a sticking point), why did he continue to refer to me IN THE THIRD PERSON?
Is this something to do with watching too much TV? You see someone on TV and your sense of them is perpetually two-dimensional? So much so that seeing them in the flesh just doesn’t make sense?
I suppose it then follows that it’s okay to tell a complete stranger that you don’t like them, just because they happen to be ordering takeaway from you?
Musicians are people too!

Kate Miller-Heidke tells Time Off magazine there’s a word she keeps reading to describe herself that’s really getting on her nerves. “I think the word quirky is the most boring, over-used word ever,” the Brisbane singer protested. “Nearly every article or review about me has used the word quirky. It’s so over-used that it’s a really bland, non-quirky word. I think it’s probably because my personality comes through my lyrics and so some people find that quirky because the lyrics aren’t just generalized things. I often come down to real, specific things, so it’s automatically quirky. I think people need to find a new word to replace that.” Timeoff.com.au has since removed the full article.
