Singing career
During her appearances on Singapore Idol, she sang songs including 'Guji Guji Kemcho Saru che Haru che', Unwritten by Natasha Bedingfield, Don't Speak by No Doubt and Breakaway by Kelly Clarkson. She was voted off the show on August 10, 2006, right before the theme of Rock The House. She was quoted as saying that she wanted 'very badly to sing in her mother tongue' and that 'they [the other contestants] were about to have Rock The House without the Rocker Chick' upon her departure. She also left behind her signature glove as a memento to the other contestants.
She cites her favourite singers as Amy Lee from Evanescence, The Cranberries, Alanis Morissette, Michelle Branch, Kelly Clarkson, Shakira, Linkin Park, Scorpions, and Agnes Monica from Indonesia. She is known for her loud voice and freestyled hair, which she cuts herself.
Controversy
Rahimah caused a slight controversy when she alleged dated fellow contestant Joakim Gomez. However, the rumors turn out to be false.
Personal life
Rahima is the only Singapore Idol season 2 finalist who is left-handed, a trait shared by Singapore Idol alumni Daphne Khoo.
Rahima pulled out from the last episode of "Wish Upon A Star", saying that she wishes to spend more time in recording her solo album (which turned out to be a flop upon its release in mid-2007). She has also opted not to be part of the 2007 New Year's Countdown at VivoCity becease of this.
Rahima had her name changed slightly (with the extra "h" being removed) to avoid confusion between her and veteran singer Rahima Rahim (who happens to be her distant aunt).
