BiographyLaura Simone Gissara was born in 1984 to Joe Gissara, a Telstra Corporation team leader, and Ivana, a Centrelink employee.[1][2][3] Gissara grew up in the Melbourne in an Italian speaking household.[2] From the age of 16 years she has written songs by working on a piano.[2][3] She admires Celine Dion and "a lot of the Boy bands who were doin amazing things with harmonies".[2] Australian IdolIn 2005 Laura Gissara was 21 years old when she auditioned for TV talent show, Australian Idol, in its third season.[1][2] In July, after her successful audition her first performance was "All the Man That I Need" (originally by Whitney Houston) as a line of ten for the top 100. For the semifinal she sang "Don't Let Go" by En Vogue. The judges were disappointed, saying that her vocal was pitchy. However, despite the poorly judged performance, Gissara made the finals on the public's votes alongside Kate DeAraugo and Milly Edwards.[1][2][4] On the Australian Made theme night, Top 13, Gissara had to prove that the voting public made the correct decision in voting her through. She sang Cilla Black's "You're My World" as covered by local artist, Daryl Braithwaite. All three judges said it was the best they had ever heard her sing. On the Live Verdict the next day she was told she was safe for another week. A week later, on '60s night, Gissara sang "Don't Play That Song" by Aretha Franklin. The judges said it was pretty good but she did not put enough feeling into the song. The next night she was told she was part of the bottom three along with James Kannis and Natalie Zahra; Zahra was eliminated and Gissara was safe for another week. On the Supergroups theme, a week later, Gissara performed "The Greatest View" by Silverchair. All judges were disappointed with her performance, she was part of the bottom three along with Kannis and Daniel Spillane. Gissara was told she had the least number of votes and was eliminated. She then sang "The Greatest View" again. During her time in the Top 13, allegations were made that her father, a Telstra employee, had tampered with the telephone voting results. An investigation ensued which discounted the claims. Australian Idol performances
