We Love Oz!

This weekend is Australia Day so we took a moment to honour some of our fave Aussie Celebs!

Jessica Mauboy

Big-voiced Jess missed out on becoming the Australian Idol but she never gave up hope! Jess may have been shy growing up, but she never stopped singing. “I’d always be getting into trouble in class for singing and humming,” she says. “I wouldn’t even realise and be sent out of the room!” Jess’s dream of one day singing to huge audiences like her musical idols Mariah Carey and Beyoncé has became a reality these last few years! So far Jess has rapped with Flo Rider, stormed the pop charts, won two music awards and even starred in her very first movie ‘Bran Nue Dae!’ We’re so proud Jess!

Cassie Davis

It’s hard to believe this spunky songstress burst onto the music scene just a year ago! Since then she’s released a debut album with ultra catchy hits ‘Like it Loud’ and ‘Differently’. Cassie has also made a big impression on bands like The Black Eyes Peas and Gym Class Heroes. She writes and produces her own songs, and has penned lyrics for artists like Ricki-Lee Coulter. Part of Cassie’s awesomeness is her individuality. “I don’t do things just because other people think that’s the way it should be done. That wouldn’t be true to who I am,” she says

Bindi Irwin

Bindi’s love of animals and nature is only matched by her love of acting and performing. In between starring in multiple TV shows, releasing her own clothes range and saving the environment, it seems there’s nothing this dynamo can’t do! Bindi has always been our fave eco-warrior, teaching us simple ways to look after wildlife and our environment. It’s no wonder Bindi scored the Biggest Greenie award at this year’s Nickelodeon Teen Choice Awards. Bindi accepted her award saying, “I’d really like to dedicate this to my dad and the Steve Irwin wildlife reserve we are trying to protect.” Awww!

How about you Powerettes? Which Aussie Celebs have inspired you this past year? We’d love to hear from you!
