MAUBOY’S STAR TURN
JESSICA Mauboy opened her Eurovision 2018 campaign with a fearless performance which channelled Tina Turner in the second semifinal jury show.
The Darwin songstress will perform again this morning in her bid to claim the Eurovision crown.
She was supremely confident on the massive stage, her powerhouse vocals soaring on the made-forEurovision pop anthem We Got Love.
Mauboy stretched herself with the hip-shaking, legstomping choreography trademarked by Simply The Best legend Turner.
And there was added Beyonce hair whipping, which Mauboy admits gave her whiplash after the first rehearsal. “I have never done dancing like this so there were a few battles through that first rehearsal,” she said.
SBS will broadcast Mauboy’s second semi live from 5am today and repeat it in prime time from 7.30pm.
