Vanessa Amorosi has revealed her "love" of singing at the parties of high-profile gangsters like Carl Williams.
The power vocalist told Nova FM radio listeners how "amazing" it was to sing at the christening party of Carl and Roberta Williams's daughter Dhakota at Melbourne's Crown Casino.
"They had a room in the (Crown) casino all done up … I remember at some point in the night during the show thinking no one will get up and dance and if I start singin' bad I'm just gonna get shot," she said.
Amorosi is making a successful comeback after her song 'Absolutely Everybody' became a smash-hit during the Sydney Olympics while she was still a teenager.
But the years between must have been lean: she claimed mob clients were the only ones "who want you to eat and give you wine and are constantly catering and looking after you", citing another christening — this time on a boat on the Yarra River — that she performed at.
"They spoil me rotten, I love it," she said.
"Usually it's like, 'Amorosi and the band are here, take them to that room, get rid of them, hide them'."
But Amorosi admitted the big money had a potential down side.
"I was like, 'Let's make sure it's a killer show, guys, or it could be a killer ending'," she said.
Amorosi's management refused to comment when approached by ninemsn today.

It's with stories like this that the general media glorifies criminals and their actions. At the end of the day these people are responsible for putting drugs out onto the streets and ultimately into our children. There is a high level of corruptions within all facets of politics, and at the end of the days it's a loosing battle. This idiolising of criminals is also perpetuated by NOVA FM
