Something to sing about? Kristie Mercer (pictured) is looking for a second chance at fame as a contestant on Channel Seven talent quest show, The Voice... after blaming 'sexism' for her axing as a KIIS FM host 'For a long time, I used to say, 'I can sing', but 'I'm not an artist... not a singer'. Finding the belief to sing in public again is the best part of my journey.' Mercer went onto say she thinks she's got a 'pretty good' voice and that some people have compared her singing to that of late pop star Amy Winehouse. Kristie is no doubt hoping for a great result on the Channel Seven talent show after her career in radio went south in late 2017.
