The 2000 Sydney Olympics will always be special to me, because I was able to go visit the Olympic site while it was under construction. I love Australia; I was able to spend five weeks over there in 1997, and I had a great time.

One of the things I remember most about the 2000 Sydney Olympics opening ceremonies was the little girl, Nikki Webster. Very cute. Every opening ceremony seems to have a cute little girl to sing a song; but what happens to them after the Olympics? We do know what happened to Nikki Webster after the Olympics.

It’s hard to top the Olympics, but Nikki went on to record an album. Her first single, “Strawberry Kisses”, went platinum, and rose to #2 on the Australian Singles charts. The accompanying album, Follow Your Heart, also went platinum. She was later dropped by her record label a few years later.

Like many child stars, Nikki seems to have had trouble making the transition to adulthood. In 2009, she released a new single, “Devilicious”, but it didn’t do so well, peaking at #78. She is working on a fourth studio album with American Independent label Piller Records. One thing is for certain, she is certainly trying to achieve a more mature image than that which she portrayed at the 2000 Olympics. Nikki Webster’s web site has relatively recent pictures, although it doesn’t look like it’s been touched much since last year.
