  • The people who come first aren't always winners.

  • I'm kinda glad she lost. I mean, if she won, she certainly wouldn't have the career she has now, and would be like Damien doing sh*tty cover albums.

  • @asiandude1990ify It's Kris Allen, and what about Kelly Clarkson? What about Carrie Underwood? My point is, the winners only choose if they want the spotlight or the rest from all the interviews and TV shows after they win. The runner-ups only do better because they don't have people pressuring them from the time the show is over.

  • It's so funny. Usually the one who wins idol goes nowhere lmao. In America, it's the same exact thing. Chris Allen won but Adam has a better career. Ruben won but clay has a better career.

  • She can't sing fip off artist

  • who won didn't watch it?

  • I wouldn't mind coming 2nd if I had the music career Jess has.

  • @barandbar I usually get upset when I come first.

  • cant believe she is only 16 here.

  • @caandycopss are u serious?!?!?!?!

  • @dahl1a13 yerp. i know, hard to believe hey? lol

  • @caandycopss she was 16 when she tried out and turned 17 before the semi finals round

  • i like jessica and all but i still like damien's version was better.

  • It's absolutely ridiculous how she didn't win. But oh well, look where she is now...and where's the other guy? Nowhere.

  • She's not a bad singer! :) Though I still like Damian's version better.

  • crap

  • Reppin the Indigenous peepz.... :D

  • @KidKolobteeX reppin NT

  • @benkiller156 She isnt reppin TSI but SHES DEADZ!!!!!!

  • i just spent the whole video staring at her teeth lol

  • she use to be innocent here

  • She's so gorgeous

  • Why can't these people make their won songs?

  • She stole this from Damien Leith???

  • @MajCinematic No, the winner of "Idol" would have won the rights to release this single under their album, since Leith won, his version was released to the public.

  • @0dour Right the record company owns the rights to the songs anyway. Well at least half.

  • I was so devo when she lost :( .... Damien was good.... but Jess was better. Oh well look who's laughing now ey?? ;)

  • welovechrissie- hahaha me 2!!! 

  • i swear i could listen to this 100 times; oh wait. i have..

  • Damien leith is a disgrace! No offence!

  • Comment removed

  • @xMilesCuddle HE WROTE THE SONG SHE IS JUST SOME HACK TRYINGTO BUILD A CAREER OFF OF IT CUZ SHE KNOWS POOR SAPS LIKE YOU WILL BUY INTO IT!!!!!

  • @tarasvoice Damien didn't write this song. It was the winner's singl, whoever won out of Jess and Damien gets to release their version. How funny you call her a hack and trying to build a career when she already has one, is one of Australia's most downloaded artist and is still making music with the big players of the music biz.

    And where is Damien? Yeah I thought so.

    Get a reality check.

  • @girlgossipshow SHE IS A HACK!! He wrote the song and she then covers it cuz she has no song writing skills and then gets morons saps like you to buy it!

    So you thought nothing bitch!

  • @tarasvoice Before you try and tell me anything get your facts straight first.  Adam Reilly wrote the song not Damien dumby. Jess has co written alot of her songs so get that right too. Jess didn't release the song either because she didnt win. That's why it's called the WINNERS single so how you suppose to buy it you moron? lol

    Look in the mirror and you'll see who clearly knows nothing idiot.

    STFU you stupid tool.

  • @girlgossipshow She is another slab of fat on these tacky reality shows who takes songs who are written for her like Avril latrine and then collects money so she never has to work or contribute anything to the world then we are suppse to feel bad when she is bored and fat cuz no one likes her

  • @tarasvoice Seriously, you sound like just a jealous brat who only dreams of the fame and fortune Jess has. Again, check your facts. Don't talk shit you know nothing about. Jess co-wrote Because, Empty, Back2U, To the floor from her first album you brainless noob and for her new album she co-wrote Like this (ft Iyaz), Foreign, Maze and No one like you. Are you really that stupid? What do you mean she doesn't work? Do you think music makes itself do you? I knew you were stupid but damn...

  • @tarasvoice And if no one liked her, she wouldn't be selling music and continuing to do it while people like you continue to be envious about it.

    You are the dumbest person on earth if you think any musicians don't work! HAHAHA

    And I suppose Jess performing to help fundraise for charities and telethons isn't making a contribution either? Whatever. Jess has contributed more in two years than you ever will in your whole entire lifetime. So keep talking your wannabe bitch ass up.

  • @tarasvoice So what now you clueless HACK? I just schooled you about your claims so keep bringing your uneducated, lying ass down my way and I will continue to hose your ass down that road of education, because you are in need of it. Oh, what happened to Damien writing this song again?rofl

    You really need to get a clue before opening your mouth about the subject you tool.

    I'm waiting here to continue you down your walk of shame so anytime braindead biatch coz as you can see, I'm loving it.

  • @tarasvoice Oh and I've seen your profile and Jess might have more meat on her than you but she is still kills you in the looks department regardless anyway! So all you haters can fall back.

    Keep dreaming and wishing you were like her coz that's as good as it's gonna get for you.

  • @girlgossipshow Yea, right you probably stare at my photos all night wishing I would want to be your girl.

  • @tarasvoice lmao oh please. Whatever delusional thoughts you wanna dream up is okay with me. Frankly, your picture aint worth the paper I wipe my ass with so dream away little girl.

  • @girlgossipshow Little girls right you like that

  • @tarasvoice Oh yeah, forgot to add, I ain't a gay ass bitch like you. I'm a girl you dumb ass.

  • why the hell she didnt win ..

  • @math11as

    im not being racist, i think that damien won cuz his a country boy aussie and its australian idol.....if you know what i mean..... but in vocally yes jessica should of won... my opinion, funny how race plays a part in voting....

  • @hasher22 woh woh woh!!!!!damien is from one of the white assholes who took this contry by force!!!watch rabit proof fence...or australia...u will get it...!!!nd he was just a singer....and where the fuck is he now???but jess is still shining!!!!

  • Both Jessica and Charice have the best voices in the biz right now. They both have perfect instruments.

  • @CCBaby Charice and Jessica should do a duet...

  • @taciturnboy88 Yes that would be AMAZING! They both have awesome voices!

  • damien leith was just as good.

  • Hi..be sure to tune into my channel to listen to one of the best song collections on

    YOU TUBE....( Including this song ) and also some of my own songs ..( all genres )

    look in my FAVS list.....ENJOY.""

  • funny how jessica mauboy has x3 views than the winner of this song.

  • @kouriskiii Not saying it's the only reason, but this song suits her voice (and a female in voice in general) much better than it ever could suit a male voice.

  • this song gives me goosebumps is like u have something unexpected u can win or not she didnt win but she is the most successful artist in australian idol ever

  • 2:25 <--- This part gave me goosebumps!!! NO JOKE!!!

  • this is da best version of the song by a country MILE, and all you haters can eat SHIT and die!!!

  • BKGK90

    Does anyone know where I can download Jessica's version of this song?

    Like on a site that won't put a virus on my computer and completely fuck it up.

  • BKGK90

    I don't know why people still bitch about who won this season it was years ago and both Damien and Jess are doing really well nowdays. Anyway, they both deserved to win as they both got Touchdowns from Mark.

    The only season still worth complaining about is season 3 because the fact that Kate DeAraugo won is appauling.

  • damien was wayyyyyy better!

  • she soulda won.

    but if she won?

    would she be where she is now?

  • I personally don't think so :P

    I'm Australian and have NEVER heard about this Damien guy (I don't watch Australian idol)

    Shannon Noll is more popular than Guy Sebastien and he came second!

    Adam Lambert is way more famous than whoever won American Idol last year (see, I can't even remember his name)

    And David Archuleta is more well known than David Cook and he came second.

    I think those who come second, get further in their career than those who win.

  • @JenniferMarvolo

    acually guy is much more famous world would than shannon noll. Shannon is only famous in australia....only a handful of people know shannon overseas.

  • no australian idol contestants are famous around the world are you stupid.

  • @johnmque

    acually know ur facts before u call someone "stupid". Jessica mauboy poster is plastered over the japanese wall cities last year,. My friend lives in japan so he told me about it.

    Also there are alot of canadian people posting comments from her videos on youtube.

    I wonder whos the stupid one now......think before u comment, obviously u dont

  • @hasher22 i live in the uk and no one from aus idol has been heard of over hear but i bet you've heard of leona lewis and susan boyle.And just because jessica releases a few songs in japan doesn't make her famous there.

  • @johnmque never heard of leona lewis but of course who would not have heard of Susan Boyle, but susan is not main stream, its the sort of stuff my nanna buys. Jessica has gone on to star in a movie and has had success overseas, Guy Sebastian has a contract in USA and his song is used for a TV series.

  • i

    love

    her

    so

    much

  • Jess and Damien like different styles of music so both singers are influenced by different singers. They are both great in their own right. Damien seems like such a nice guy. All the pubs were full of drunk Irish people too who were voting during the finale so that would've helped him alot too! lol jks but seriously, Jess didn't need to win Idol and it shows by the kick ass album she debuted with. Haven't heard a pop/rnb album as good as her's in Australia. Ever. She killing it no matter what.

  • you noobs. they both are good. it's not like they can't sing they can both sing well. the version you like better would be dependent on your current state of mind etc... but don't forget the point.. it's also the song itself that good.

  • "Damien who???"

  • cant believe she didnt win.. but look at where shes now

  • @theuetubeguy i always thought she won but if she didnt win then hu did ??? sorrii if i sound like a dumbass right now!!!

  • @shhbaby321 damien leith

    

  • She should of won, no doubt about it.

  • @Babyllishhass winning is a cruse lol, you don't sell as much, people judge you as perfect and blah. 2nd place and majority of coutries 2nd place/runner up is often more suscessful.

  • Jessica's version is really really good. She has a great voice.

    On the other hand, I think Damien was selected over Jessica due to the angelic atmosphere he was able to create.

    Jessica even though with a great voice, were not able to, in my personal opinion, bring out the song like the way Damien and his singing style did.

  • for someone who appreciate a quality voice jessica won me with this song only a few artists has dat kind of range...

    mariah,celine and whitney...jessicas dat good....she hit every note perfectly and she should have won

  • i didnt watch the show but listenen to both versions live i actually cant see why she didnt win

  • I have to say I never knew this song was the winners song for american idol and i never heard anyone except Damien Leith singing it, but this girls sings it amazingly and TBH as much as I love Damien Leiths version, it sounds absolutely amazing sung by a girl and by THIS girl, really great voice!

  • perfect!!!

  • i love her

  • this was actully a good song compared to any countrys winning songs

    SHE SHOULD OF DEFINATLY WON!

  • i wish more austraian idol singers could be like her.

  • she was always so beautiful! and she is even more so now ... i love her!

  • i love jesss !! yes damien shouldnt of won .!

  • i prefer this jessicas version than damiens (=

    although you gotta give props to damien he was sooo polite to jess when he won i dont know how to explain it but yeah job well done guys <3

    ex.

  • Jess sould of won!! stupid Damien leithh,..... he cant even sing! GO JESSICA!!! xoxoxox

  • Are you serious? Damien Leith is an amazing singer... Jess Mauboy is also an excellent singer. Being one sided isn't an excuse for being naive. :-P

  • even though she didnt win she is bigger than whoeva won. jessica is the best

  • i la la love her

  • as if she didn't win. i wanna make this clear as i can for those of you overseas who don't see this or people who don't take notice. im not sure about other countries but australian idol for sure, the runner ups, whether they come second or lower w/e they work much harder, write more songs and r definately more popular than the winners them selves! the only winner i re-call actually ever doing anything was guy sebastian n he's quit now. it's sad really. that those who deserve to win dont. =='

  • One of the few Idol Winner's Singles that doesn't make me vomit...Amazing job young lady! American Idol...take note.

  • i love jessica and i love this song

  • me too

  • wow that was amazing..

  • Shes the future of Australian Music overseas so no pressure Jess kiddin lol

    shes amazing and brilliant and she has a fantastic voice

    this song broings back memories

  • super talent !

  • Yeahh aussies ruleeee!!! Wata Stunna xx oh yea nd Jess is better than rhianna lolllll

  • Comment removed

  • She is easily the Australian version of Beyonce or Rhianna - there is no other female singer in the Australian Market like her.

    I think she would be good in the UK before the states.

  • Rihanna!? Rihanna cant sing for shit!!

  • Yeah I know but I mean image like her - We need more Jessica Mauboys instead of this grunge shit!!

  • Comment removed

  • i remember this! :D

  • I like her singing these songs they jazzed her up now.

  • I LUV HER SO MUCH

    she is so amazing right now . Been Waiting is on fire

  • he sounds heeps better then damien leith, she should have won :)

  • she borned to shine !!!

  • Jess, you're well loved here in America :)

  • ThatAkiaKid keep your opinion to urself if ur not gonna be nice. Jessica Mauboy is a very talented singer and beautiful.

    AUSSIE PRIDE MAN! AUSSIE PRIDE

  • u suck !!! i bet u cant sing like her...

    miley cyrus crap !!

  • i wanted her to win ..

  • me too. she makes way more progress then that other guy who won. and her voice is hell awesomee <3

  • yer i know and she is from aussie :D i dont mean any offence if your from america or any other countries but we never get good siongers but her

  • Winners dont even matter anymore, runner ups always do better!

  • totally

  • Not the case for Emily Williams, Matt Corby, Luke Dickens or Hayley Warner!

  • she is very very good bu speak for yourself im from the uk and we have leona lewis one of the biggest female singers worldwide lol jessica and leona are my 2 fav singers lol

  • i'm getting married and would love this song on my wedding CD.. does anyone know where i can get a copy

  • you could get her album or record it i dunno she is pretty good

  • She has a new album signed with sony bmg called 'Been waiting"'and has an awesome single out called Running back ft Flo rida and another one called Burn. Hope that helps.

  • U know when I watched it live on TV, my whole body like... wow (goosebump)! How could she not winning this, but she didn't, what a shame!!! She is massive in OZ rite now....

  • i like this girl to much <3

  • SHE LOST SOO MUCHH WEIGHTTT !!

  • i love this song... and i love the way she sings it.... Beu@tiful... love you jess

  • just wanna say i have never seen australian idol but have watched the two and she shud have won im in love

  • She's great but I prefer Damien's purely because there is no warble "ooouwhoawhoa ooooo" in his version. She can sing the notes she should just sing them.The warble annoys me when ANYONE does it.

  • yeh thats because you must be tone def also have you listened to dameins voice it sounds like he has a vibrator down his throat hahahahah anyways shes made it further then damien leigh, its retards like you who vote for the shitty singers that win.p.s there called trills dumbass

  • Charmer aren't you? 1)Did I say she can't sing? NO. 2)I don't vote for anyone strictly because I don't watch the dumb show. So don't make ASSumptions.

  • 3)It's subjective who has come further.4)I KNOW they are called Trills, they are a trend and I don't like them. The notes can be sung purely without it. That's a personal opinion, same as yours. 5)I don't know about vibrators down the throat but you obviously do.

    Lastly I expressed a personal opinion about one aspect of her singing, next time try and show some class.

  • Im pretty sure that she has seeing asthough she is known overseas and he isnt and her latest albumn is number 1. if you knew they were trills why not just say, trills arent a trend its a way that soul and r&b singers express their music exactly how hardcore rockers tend to scream every word it comes naturally oh but you already knew that

  • Trills are a trend. It's only since Mariah Carey it has become popular again. Before her only a few did it and now EVERYONE does it. I reserve the right not to like it. Try sticking to the subject, no one is has mentioned hard rock or do you want to drag opera in to it. Loose the attitude mate she is going to get a lot worse constructive criticism than I've given.

  • mate get over yourself whos changing the subject obviously you cant comprehend an example, quite pety and stupid on your behalf. yeah pretty sure trills have been popular alot longer then mariah careys been around its probably a trend to you because you obviously dont listen to alternative music.

  • I think you should get over yourself. As I've stated it's a personal preference and opinion. You know nothing about me or what I like. Best advice I can give you is don't ASSume and check your definition of alternative music. Now I'm done reply all you want kid. I'm not interested in replying to you again.

  • well you were wasting my time anyway its like talking to a brick wall with you old people, i wasnt being literal about the genre of corse people with narrow minds like yours cant comprehend much. anyways nice arguen with you untill next time. hah

  • well maybe if you would keep your "personal opinions" to yourself it would'nt be an issue, you can see that this is where people are posting positive messages. you dont watch the show but you seem to think damiens version is better yeah ok.

  • It's a public forum and I can post if I want to. I consider my post positive and constructive. Maybe you should check the definition of the word.

  • Bloody hell,

    Australia is so racist,

    Remember Kate (white) and I forgot her name (black)

    But

    Guess who won ? Kate

    Damien Leith ( and OMG couldnt sing for shyt, like hello ? australia are your ears open?)

    Jessica mauboy ( aboriginal)

    Guess who won ? Damien

    Someone should smack some sense into them, like seriously. And again in the biggest loser, Asian guy lost the most, and he got voted off first... like wat the hell. i look down upon australians.

  • her version iz way better !! i dnt no y they all voted 4 an irish dickhead he sucks jessica iz awsum !!

  • too beautiful.... No matter what.... you have made it

  • Like the guys version better.

  • what happened to the person who won that year?

  • Damien Lieth

  • i knew she had a better future than the winner of oz idol that year

    i dont even remember his name lol

    go go jessica!!!

  • Every idol winner never seems to get far, dont you rekon.

  • yea! I dunno what is people voting about when they choose winners

    I really hope that this year they pick talents and do not make them to sing covers all the time!

    they kill them like that I think

  • she luks 17

  • she was actually only 16 here

  • You should of won, you are truly amazing.

  • I agree this performance is great!

  • love this version!

    love her voice..

    what about her career now?

    im in indonesia, so i dont know much about her

  • listen to running back by her (ft. Flo rida) its her newest single

    also more reecent songs by the young divas like turn me loose

  • that's amzing, she's amazing.

  • have you noticed that the idols dont make much out of their win? and that runners-up become so much bigger in the music industry? damien leith hasnt done much, but jess has gone into the Diva's and then onto a solo career. she sang this real well though. love this version! :D

  • yeh it's so true! lol

    I have always been like 'who ever get's second really gets first" haha

    like very single year that has happened

    But i thought we had broken the 'curse' with damien leith (he was sooo good and everyone was buying his cd's and stuff but then he just faded out) and so jessica was left :) love her new song

  • Well his wife had another baby so maybe he is spendin time with her and will come back soon? Who knows

  • shut up fuck face!! its pretty obvious why his song went to number one... because he won.. duh!! but whats he doing now?? NOTHING!!

    you are an epic failure, you suck at life thats why you have to put someone else down to make your lame ass self feel a little better,

    jess is amazing!!!

  • but her her album is stayed steady in the top 3 for 3 weeks and her new single BURN jumped from 23 to 18 on the aria charts!! gonna be a massive HIT

  • And Youre Retarded, She is Way Better. =]

  • Flawless

  • WOW Jess ur really good! she sang this so well!!!

    SHE SHOULD HAVE WON...TOTALLY

    i love her new song running back!

    i love her voice!!

    I LOVE YOU JESS

    xoxo

  • I cried so hard when i heard Jess's version cause this song just suited her so much better and she sang it like an angel and has inspired me so much Love U Jess.

  • you should listen to her new song

    "running back"

    its a hit .. really good

    Quality of an American song

  • I love you Jess,

    One of the best performance of my life

  • Flawless

  • jess should have won her voice is so much better then that other guys..whats his name? been so long since we have herd from him???

    jess's album is coming out soon her first single "running back" is awsome its with flo-rida

  • haha..I agree, i think we never heard from him again after he sung the Idol song after it was released...I don't think he did to well in the sales dept...Watch our girl become an international hit ovr nite...What was his name....??
