Jessica Mauboy to replace Bon Jovi for 2013 ad campaign

[Stagger Lee]

She was awful at the Grand Final though.

QFT

She is very good in that Sapphires movie and is no doubt talented, but she murdered the national anthem in 2010 GF (maybe she was told to do it that way but strewth it was bad!) :?

 

[PARRA_FAN]

Doesnt matter who sings Simply the Best, if its back it'll win a lot of fans.

At least I wont have to put up with "Thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiissssss is our tiiiiiiimmmee". It was annoying after a while but not the worst we've had.

 

[Cumberland Throw]

I would use simply the best every f**kin year and get a new artist to do it each time

"What you see is what you get " Tina Turner campaign was awesome as well.
Either one would be great and id go so far as to do a very similar film clip to the one done back then .

If she can pull of something a tenth as good as these two I'd be happy!

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Excellent choice. Indigenous Australian, female, popular, great voice and good looks.

I'd take her over some shit rock or metal "music" any day of the week.

 

[tumbidragon]

Perhaps she could sing this to get us in the mood for footy

Send "Get 'Em Girls" Ringtone to your Cell
"Get 'Em Girls"
(feat. Snoop Dogg)

[Snoop Dog:]
Get Em' Girl [x7]
([Jessica:] uhh, yeahhh [x3])
I dont need a runway,
I got all my Get em' Girls [x2]
I can cat, walk my way to the front page,
I got all my Get em' Girls [x3]
(Watcha get em girl, Imma swing my hips this way)

[Verse 1:]
I got all my get em' girls, you can call em' prada heels
I don't need a runway to walk it out the spine of it
And I got a hundred bags, different colours come see
Gucci, alligators, call em' crocodile dundi
Now take it to the floor
I'm sayin' hello
You aint tips, got em' flying like a sparrow
Get em' outta twos, like they know I were stiletos
Fresh Jimmy Choos, got em' pointing like a narrow

[Chorus:]
I dont need a runway
I got all my Get em' Girls [x2]
I can cat, walk my way to the front page
I got all my Get em' Girls [x3]
(Watcha get em' girl, imma swing my hips this way)

[Bridge]
Get em' Girl
And back and rock, and back, back rock [x3]
And back and rock
Now go and strike a pose

[Verse 2:]
Let me see you in the pearly mama
Dress goin' like your Marilyn Munro (uh uh, uh uh)
(Now go and strike a pose)
Vera Wang with the fur around it
No stopping me with the fur around me
Click, click the alarm in the mazaradi
Click, click from my hears is the matters money
Click, click goes the camera's from the paparazzi
I'm the shit, you can ask the whole world about me

[Chorus:]
I don't need a runway
I got all my Get em' Girls [x2]
I can cat, walk my way to the front page
I got all my Get em' Girls,
I got all my Get em' Girls,
I got all my Get em' g-g get em' girls [x2]
I got all my Get em' Girls,
I got all my Get em' Girls,
I got all my Get em' Girls

[Bridge:]
Get em' Girl
And back and rock, and back, back rock [x3]
And back and rock

[Bridge:]
High heels are every womans fame
I dont know what I'd to without em'
Right now I feel so on display
The camera's flash,
And everyone's asking where you get em' girl

[Snoop Dog]

[Chorus:]
I dont need a runway
I got all my Get em' Girls [x2]
I can cat, walk my way to the front page
I got all my Get em' Girls [x2]
I got all my Get em', get em' ,get em', get em'

Why is the song called get em girls?...

 

[macnaz]

The whole video package was done perfectly , thats why im hoping they will try copy it again.

 

[macnaz]

Why is the song called get em girls?...

That wont be what she is singing so i wouldnt worry about it.

I hope she is singing it and it seems to elude to it in the video.

But I am a little worried Turner has only come up beacuse of the title of the article, which only mentions this about Tina.

Mauboy is the first woman to lead rugby league's advertising campaign since Tina Turner in the early 1990s.

 

[Perth Red]

Looking forward to seeing her tonight, good choice as long as they get the tune right.

 

[macnaz]

Yeah it could just be wishful thinking sauce.. but she did also elude to singing a clasic song which means it isnt one of her own.. We will find out soon i guess.

 

[butchmcdick]

People are going to whinge no matter who they sign. The NRL could sign up a supergroup of Buddha on drums, Confucious on bass, Mohammad on lead guitar, Jesus on vocals and people would still whinge that they weren't high profile enough.

That's the dumbest thing I have ever read on these forums.

Everybody knows Jesus is a lead guitarist who can't sing to save himself

He is awesome on guitar.... i remember seeing him at the cross

 

[Bombay Devils RLFC]

ACDC! Should use them

Maybe Jail break would be a good song as this may be appropriate this year after what may happen

 

[Fire]

I think I was there, came out and said 'I love you Sydney' when he was playing a gig in Jerusalem, the crowd didn't care for it and he was crucified.

 

[macnaz]

hard crowd over there !

 

[t-ba]

Good choice. I'm not a fan at all of her music

Something a little different. I know Tina Turner is synonymous with the game these days for anyone 25 and over but did anyone in the 1980's honestly think she'd be a good theme for the game? Look how that turned out.

He did the Easter comeback tour shortly after that i recall.
