..:: Tara Oram's Fan Thread ::..
Age: 23
Occupation: Singer
Hometown: Hare Bay, NL
Audition City: St. John's, NL
Place of Birth: Hare Bay, ON
Nickname: Tuey or T
Favourite Song: Good Mother by Jann Arden
Couldn't Live Without: "Music"
Would Like to Meet: Dwight Yoakam
Motto: "Live life for today and prepare for the future."
"I am most proud of the hard work that I have put into my musical career. I have been paying my dues and going through struggles and I will continue to do so until I feel I have reached the top!"
Tara has been a professional singer since she was 18 and is the lead singer of a country band that tours throughout Ontario. Although she splits her time between Ontario and Newfoundland, her home province has a special place in her heart because "everyone is always willing to help others in need, whether they are strangers or not."
To become the next Canadian Idol, Tara believes it is going to take a lot of concentration, practice and determination. Although she was shocked when she found out she had made it into the Top 22, she also felt like she had won the lottery.
A Toronto Maple Leafs fan, Tara plays ball hockey and would love to meet Dwight Yoakam. She spends her time writing songs, learning guitar and interior decorating with her mom.
"The song title that best describes me would be 'Up!' by Shania Twain," she says. "Whenever things are not going the way I want them to, I always remember to laugh about it. There are too many people in this world who have to live in horrible situations. I appreciate my life everyday."
Tara's favourite food is cold plates. "It's a Newfoundland dish that consists of salads, turkey, jell-o, dressing, and lettuce," she explains. "It is all served cold in two paper plates taped on top of each other! Mmm!"
Although the competition has not changed Tara, "it has changed the way I feel about the show," she says. "I have such great respect for anyone who has gone through this before."

Hare Bay country singer among Idol's Top 22
CORY HURLEY
The Western Star
Acting on her parents wish, Tara Oram is hoping Canadian Idol propels her dream of musical stardom.
The 23-year-old Hare Bay native was chosen as a Top 22 contestant on the national hit television series Tuesday night.
Oram is already a familiar name along the country music circuit in Ontario. For the past five years, she has explored her musical career, a busy endeavour that has - until this year - kept her away from Canadian Idol.
She realized early on the path wasn't going to be easy.
"I never would have thought about getting this far, never in my wildest dreams," Oram told The Western Star from Toronto. "When I auditioned in St. John's it was very hard. It was a hard process and, to be here right now is overwhelming, it's amazing, and really surreal."
Tears of joy flowed on Tuesday night when the judges told Oram she was in the Top 22. More tears followed during the cellphone call to her mother to relay the good news.
"I'm not really a sappy person," she said. "But, what means so much, and I am so emotional because, coming from Newfoundland people just want to love on ya, and the support I have gotten since Day 1 has been unreal."
News like a car parade was expected in her honour Wednesday in Hare Bay, only adds to that sentiment.
"This means that I get to represent where I come from," she said. "I am so proud being from Newfoundland. Just like Rex (Goudie) did, and Craig (Sharpe), Jason (Greeley) and Jen (Jenny Gear), I want to put my hometown on the map and show everybody that Newfoundland is such an amazing place.
"Not a lot of people around the world know about it, but they need to know what an incredible place it is."
The pretty blonde appears to have the complete package that has made many musicians instant successes in the industry today. Her true-to-country attitude is reminiscent of American Idol winner Carrie Underwood, who has gone on to achieve stardom in Nashville, Tenn. and beyond.
Following a performance on Monday night by the top 11 guys in the competition, Oram will be vying for votes across the country on Tuesday's episode. Wednesday's results show will be the first whereby four contestants are eliminated - two guys and two girls - weekly, until the Top 10.
Newfoundlanders have had a lot of success on previous Idol seasons, with Goudie and Sharpe back-to-back runners-up. Whether Oram can become the first Canadian Idol from this province, only time and votes will tell.
