The Tara Diaries: A Tale of Two Idols?

As I mentioned earlier, Tara Oram has a new show premiering on CMT this weekend. I hope this season's hopefuls tune in, as watching someone actively pursuing a career post-Idol may be quite inspiring.

Tara Oram is like the poster child for how Canadian Idol can 'change your life.'
A brand new television series, an upcoming album and a serious relationship with current Idol winner Brian Melo, she can't imagine what her life would be like if she hadn't tried out for the show.

"I honestly don't know where I'd be," said Tara, who finished Top 6 in Season 5. "I would probably still be playing covers in a band, which I loved to do, but I just wanted to take that next step in my career and luckily, I've been blessed with everything that's happening and I feel very fortunate."

After CMT caught wind of the video blogs she had posted on her own website as a way to stay in touch with her fans, she was offered her own series called "The Tara Diaries."

"It focuses on the making of the album, what's going on in my career in music and just the whole process of being a new artist, recording the album, doing the video, songwriting, and there's also that aspect of my home life but with a sense of some humour in there," said Tara, who originally hails from Hare Bay, Nfld.

And, rest assured, Brian Melo fans, her Idol boyfriend will be a part of the show:

"His role is basically, he's my boyfriend, he's there to support me on rough times and good times because this business is like a rollercoaster ride sometimes, you'll have great days, you'll have bad days, you'll have sappy days, he's just such a great support because he knows everything that I'm going through and we try to help each other as much as possible," said Tara.

Be sure to check out The Tara Diaries on CMT, this Sunday, July 20th, at 9 p.m.
