Betoota Hills robot, Colin Dominican (29) thought his newish life partner, Sandra Wentworth (28), had it all going for her. She was hot, funny, loved footy and getting around his mates – in his eyes she was perfect.
That was until they decided to have a weekend away together at the Diamantina Resort, 4hrs North of Betoota. As there are no flights to the exclusive resort, the couple decided to drive – a decision that would cost Colin his fairytale.
Two hours into the trip, the general conversation was waning and Sandra suggested they put on some music.
“Ooo I love this song” said Sandra.
The song in question was Beyoncé’s 2008 hit, Halo, a pop power ballad, the lyrics of which describe a sublime love. It features drum, piano, keyboard, string, synthesizer, and percussion instrumentation, and a repetitive chorus that should not ever be attempted by anyone but Beyoncé.
“Let me see your HAAALLLOO” Sandra belted out, neither in tune or with the correct lyrics.
“HAALLOO, HALO, HAAYYLOOOW” she belted again, each note more jarring than the last.
Speaking to The Advocate in private once at the resort, Colin described his devastation.
“Mate, I’ve never heard anyone sing that bad”
“I’m gutted”
“Just think of all the road trips we’re going to be having, Betoota’s not close to anything!”
“What am I gonna do?”
Our reporter abstained from offering relationship advice on this matter, however she did suggest some ear plugs as a temporary fix.
More to come.
