Mmmm Mmmm, cough, yes er Austrlaian Natalie Imbruglia as you know bought out a debut cracker of a song "Torn". The video to was a hit with music listeners as well and with those 2 factors combined "An awesome song + great vid" = instant stardom for this Ocker

"Fiona and Alanis notwithstanding, few women in music can claim as swift a rise to pop stardom as Natalie Imbruglia. Seemingly out of nowhere, she burst on the scene in the early weeks of 1998 with a smash hit single, an ubiquitous video, and a hotly anticipated appearance on Saturday Night Live — all without benefit of an album in record stores. To no one's surprise, when Imbruglia's full-length debut, Left of the Middle, was released later that spring, it charted instantly at Number 10. Suddenly the image of Imbruglia, who just months earlier had been on the verge of chucking her career in entertainment, was plastered on magazine covers across the land."

"Relinquishing her goal to dance professionally, Imbruglia began journeying to Sydney to audition for television commercials. Among the roles she secured were parts in advertisements for Coke, Bubblicious gum, and a popular Australian snack called Twisties (YUM TWISTIES!). At first, Imbruglia's mother and father were less than thrilled at their daughter's ambition to act, feeling it was only a phase and that she should continue to study dance. By the time Natalie reached 16, however, her parents were convinced enough of their daughter's aspirations that they allowed her to leave performing arts school so that she could audition full-time. The decision proved to be pivotal."

"Predictably, in the two years since she burst onto the music scene, Imbruglia has occasionally been subjected to tabloid speculation about her personal life. Besides a much-publicized relationship with Friends' star David Schwimmer (which was noteworthy mainly for its brevity), she's also been romantically linked with singer Lenny Kravitz, although she insists the relationship is platonic. Moreover, in a true bit of weirdness, she was soundly castigated in the press for not having written "Torn," although she never claimed otherwise. "
