Emily Williams (born October 8, 1984) was the runner up on the 2005 season of Australian Idol; Williams comes from Inala, Brisbane. She sang "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen for the top 10 live performance show, the judges agreeing this was the best performance of the night. She scored three of Mark Holden's "touchdown"s. One for her performance of "River Deep, Mountain High" by Ike & Tina Turner for the Motown themed show and for her performance of "All The Way" by Frank Sinatra & Celine Dion on Big Band Night and her most recent "I'm Every Woman" by "Chaka Khan" for the '70s themed show.

Like Guy Sebastian, Emily Williams also attended Paradise Community Church.

After Idol

After her loss to Kate DeAraugo on Australian Idol, Williams' fans demanded that she be signed to a record label, on a forum dedicated to the singer. They were especially heated after Lee Harding, who came third on the third season of Australian Idol, was signed and had already released his debut single. On December 19, 2005 it was confirmed that Williams had been signed with Sony BMG. Emily is writing songs for the album to follow. Emily announced at her ARQ performance show that she will release I'm Every Woman as her debut single in 2006.
