Jessica Mauboy

For you who doesn't live or stay in Australia, you might not familiar with this name.
Yet, if you are living in Australia, this name must be so common to your ears.
Yes, She is one of the finalist of Australian idol 2006.

The amazing thing about this 17 years old teen, that encourages me to write something about her is her heritage, the fact that she is half INDONESIAN and half Indigenous. As Indonesian, i'm trully proud and pleased for her.

She has gone through quite many criticism from the judges [either mark, marcia, or even Kylie].
But, that is the reason she is now sitting on the top 4 finalist. She learnt a lot from those criticism. And trying to stands up after she fell.

Another amazing thing is she got the first 'TOUCH DOWN' in 2006 from Mark Holland [the judge] and as far, she's the only one who have got TWO 'TOUCH DOWN' for her performance.
Ohh..anyway, for you who doesn't know what the hell is 'touchdown' all about. I tell you now.
Touch Down is a phrase that is given by Mark Holden [the judge], to any finalist who have performed an awesome and incredible performance.

The first touchdown she got, when she was singing BEAUTIFUL by Christina Aguilera.
The second song was from The Bee Gees - WORDS (She sang it on her own version).
When she was singing 'WORDS', Mark couldn't even say a proper words to describe it. He was just shaking his head and looks so impressed. Even Kylie, the king of harsh comment, was saying
"I think you gonna be one of the most finest voices ever come out from this country"

If you wanna have a look on this Northen Territory teenager's performance, i'll give you the link of her video that presented in YOUTUBE.
