Australian Idol on Channel 7 – The Grand Finale headliners are here. Harry Connick Jr and Jessica Mauboy perform live on Australian Idol.
The epic Australian Idol Grand Finale is almost here, and to help ring in the winner on Sunday, 26 March, judge Harry Connick Jr and Australian pop icon Jessica Mauboy will perform live and free exclusively on Channel 7 and 7plus.
A best-selling musician, singer, composer, actor and legendary live performer, Harry is excited to step out from behind the judges’ desk to do what he loves most:
“After watching all these talented young singers on Australian Idol, I am beyond excited to perform for them and the Australian audience! I absolutely love judging, but playing and singing is where my heart is. Can’t wait!”
Harry’s career has exemplified excellence across multiple platforms in the entertainment world over the past three decades. His live and recorded musical performances, achievements in film and television, and appearances on Broadway as both an actor and a composer have received Grammy® and Emmy awards and Tony nominations.
Fresh from her performance at World Pride alongside Charli XCX and Kylie Minogue, Jessica, a former Australian Idol contestant and current coach on The Voice will hit the stage with her infectious new single Right Here, Right Now.
Jessica said:
“Australian Idol holds a special place in my heart, as it marked the beginning of my musical journey. It’s truly surreal to be returning to the Idolstage years later. I am thrilled to have this opportunity to perform my new single Right Here, Right Now, and share it with the passionate Idol audience.”
Pop icon, actress, songwriter and musician Jessica has used versatility as a superpower. Recently, she’s been exploring the breadth of dance music from the updated disco gloss of Glow to the sexy groove of Automatic. On Right Here, Right Now she builds on that once more, making something that sounds like a nod to the vintage greats and a dive into fresh territory.
