Jemma Holloway’s the one that they want

Jemma Holloway wowed judges at Whittlesea council’s inaugural Fast Track Talent Show with her rendition of You’re the One that I Want from Grease.

The Diamond Valley College student stunned the judges, including event organiser and talent scout Christine Collyer, with her piano version of the song made famous by Olivia Newton John.

“It was a very unique and original version of the song – she slowed it down, changed the melody in certain parts and the power of her voice was just incredible,” Ms Collyer said.

“The judges were unanimous. I’m going to contact her to come and perform with us.”

The 15-year-old was one of 31 acts, including singers, duos, dance troupes, dancers and a comedian to make the finals.

More than 270 people turned out to watch the finalists perform in the grand final.

Second place was awarded to a huge dance group, called DCO, from the Starz Performing Arts School; third place went to Terena Montalto.

The talent competition was designed to encourage and support young performers in Whittlesea to take to the stage and show off their talents.
