Congratulations Jessica! 2009 has been your year to shine.
i wonder if she has what it takes to becomes Australian’s “britney spears” not in controversy ways but the way she delivers pop music. With the right promotion and proper music videos jess can go miles
Oh bull crap! She has sung the same bloody song for 2 years straight!… Get over it! She’s an idol nobody!
Just too bad her record company are airbrushing her into oblivion and stripping her of her heritage on her cd covers and promotional pictures.
Congrats to her! I knew she’d be going places.
