I think it would be great to have Jessica Mauboy hot the 2009 ARIAS it would do so much for the Aboriginal community not that she hasnt done enough already 🙂
Good luck 🙂
Saw her singing last week at TEN launch. First time I have seen her live. She was a knockout.
Who wants to bet Mauboy will pull a Cilmi this year?
They were in Comedy awards, click the ARIA link.
What are Hamish and Andy, and Dave Hughes nominated for?
And is there any word on who is hosting? I liked Hamish and Andy hosting last year, but thats me being bias :p I think they’re the coolest entertainers in Australia, and should host everything :p
Good to see Ladyhawke nominated. I hope they don’t find out that she is actually from New Zealand and won six Tuis at the New Zealand Music Awards the other day.
Nice to see my favourite Lisa Mitchell get some nods; she defiantely deserves breakthrough album Wonder is absolutely stunning.
