Jessica Mauboy Sunday
Jessica Mauboy, an Australian recording artist, has a song called “Sunday.” It was made available digitally on April 12, 2019, and it served as the lead single from Hilda, Mauboy’s upcoming fourth studio album.
Mauboy stated, “Upon release” My favorite line in the song is “I forgive you then you forget, you’re sleeping even if you didn’t make that bed.” There is so much sass in that line, and I love the idea of creating an emotional connection between how little things like not making a bed, folding clothes, or picking up trash can be so annoying that they can spread throughout the day, the next day, the week, or the month and turn into something really, I guess, tangy if they are not said. However, I adored the ferocity and depth of those lyrics. Mauboy revealed to Nova 96.9 that she was inspired to write the song after a heated argument with her boyfriend.
Jessica Mauboy Australian Idol
Mauboy auditioned for Australian Idol’s fourth season in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, in 2006, performing Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing.” She won over all three judges and advanced to the semifinals and top twelve. Her former Sony contract was highlighted in the media as grounds for dismissal, but the producers declined to fire her. During the last eleven weeks, judge Kyle Sandilands remarked on Mauboy’s weight, advising her to “lose the jelly belly” if she wanted to be successful in the music industry. Two years later, Mauboy saw the remark as a jest and saw it as a positive development.
Mauboy received the season’s first touchdown from judge Mark Holden in the last ten weeks for her interpretation of Christina Aguilera’s smash “Beautiful.” She had a sore throat for the final nine weeks, resulting in a terrible version of Phil Collins’ “Another Day in Paradise” and near-elimination. She was never in the bottom three again, and she eventually made it to the final show with Damien Leith. Mauboy finished second to Leith in the grand finale. She secured a recording contract with Sony Music Australia in December 2006.
