Later on she teamed up with Australian Idol judge Marcia Hines for a cover of the song MacArthur Park before delivering her own set with two powerhouse vocals.
First up Casey Donovan delivered a take on Lady Gaga’s massive tune Abracadabra. The song has been one of the biggest hits of 2025, and Casey gave the song her own spin.
Secondly she sang Raye’s Where is My Husband, nailing its tongue twister lyrics and precise delivery.
The concert also included Melanie C who took the party right up to the brink of midnight with a collection of her solo hits, latest release Sweat, and a medley of Spice Girls songs.
