Locke successfully passed through to the next round, and in December was chosen to perform on the show. She finished third, behind runner up Clay Aiken and eventual champion Ruben Studdard. Simon Cowell at first criticized Locke as lacking in personality; by the final three however, he declared her, Clay Aiken and Ruben Studdard to be as worthy winners as any. She has since been invited back to the show to perform twice (seasons 3 and 7).

'Kimberley John Hughes            Origin/Culture/Country: Australian

'Kimberley John Hughes: is a former cricketer who played for Western Australia, Natal and Australia. He captained Australia in 28 Tests between 1979 and 1985 before captaining a "rebel" Australian team in a tour of then-banned South Africa. A precocious talent, Hughes played as a right-hand middle order batsman and was known for his attractive, if somewhat impetuous, batting. In Geraldton, the young Hughes played a variety of sports, including hockey, tennis and especially Australian rules football. Hughes was captain-coach of North Perth Cricket Club for the 1975–76 season. Against the touring Pakistan team in December 1976, Hughes made 137 runs from only 167 balls, placing his name in front of the national selectors. World Series Cricket (WSC) divided the Australian team into two camps; those that had signed lucrative contracts with Kerry Packer's rebel group and those, like Hughes, who had remained with the establishment Australian Cricket Board (ACB).
