Jessica Mauboy

The vision of Jessica Mauboy, braving the heat and dust of the Australian Idol audition set in Darwin will forever be a special moment in Idol history. A vision, of course, which is second to her triumphs witnessed by millions during the hotly contested 2006 series. Throughout the record-rating fourth series of the eminent reality television show, Jessica effortlessly created new and enduring moments with each commended performance. With such a tough competition this year, Jessica could be excused for feeling daunted, but the powerful soul specialist took the experience in her stride with the ultimate prize set firmly in her sight – a recording contract with Sony BMG and the ability to realise her lifelong dreams.
