Jessica Mauboy,1989年8月4日出生于澳大利亚有印度尼西亚血统,是"Australian Idol"(澳洲偶像)第四季度的亚军.2007年她替代前成员Ricki-Lee Coulter加入组合"Young Divas"并参与录制了专集,她们首支单曲"Turn Me Loose"就是Mauboy唱的。2008下半年Mauboy经过深思熟虑决定退出组合，全心全意开始个人事业。澳洲女子组合"Young Divas"可谓多灾多难，仅仅成立不到2年多就接连遇成员退出重组。首个单飞的成员Ricki-Lee Coulter一直被业内认为是组合中最有发展潜力的歌手事后证明她的确如人士看好那样。当然Mauboy也完成了心愿顺利推出了个人的首张大碟"Been Waiting",前程逐渐光明。 　　

Count Jessica Mauboy among the myriad young singers launched to fame via the reality TV phenomenon of the early 21st century. Born August 4, 1989, in Darwin, Australia, Mauboy's earned her first taste of celebrity at 14, when she won a local talent search and scored a recording deal with Sony. Her country-inspired rendition of the Cyndi Lauper hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" went nowhere, however, and she returned to relative obscurity until auditioning for the Network Ten amateur talent showcase Australian Idol 2006. Despite a few bumps in the road -- most notably a sore throat that resulted in a mediocre rendition of Phil Collins' "Another Day in Paradise" and near-elimination -- Mauboy succeeded to the finals, albeit not without controversy: Detractors cited her previous Sony tenure as grounds for dismissal, but since the contract had long ago expired, Australian Idol producers refused to boot her from the show. Considered the favorite by prognosticators, Mauboy nevertheless fell to Damien Leith on the series' November 13, 2006, finale. A month later she signed to Sony BMG and in February 2007 issued her debut LP, The Journey, cracking the Aussie Top Five thanks in part to the album's lead single, a cover of the Christina Aguilera ballad "Beautiful."
