THIS IS ALL MY FOOTAGE. IF YOU SEE SOMEONE ELSE USING IT, REPORT THE VIDEO RIGHT AWAY. IF I'VE GIVEN YOU PERMISSION TO USE THIS FOOTAGE, I'LL PUT YOUR NAME HERE IN THE DESCRIPTION BOX. IF THE USERNAME ISN'T HERE, THEY DO NOT HAVE PERMISSION. Here's the 'good' footage that I got of Jennette McCurdy and Nathan Kress while they were at the 2011 Australian Kids' Choice Awards Orange Carpet. I apologise for the shakiness of some scenes, but you see, fangirls get reaaally excited and decide that it's okay to push people around. I don't really know what else to say, but both of them are BREATH TAKING in person! If you see letters saying 'Jennette' or 'Nathan', that's me trying to give it to them. Unfortunetaly, they didn't see me handing it to them. Everyone was waving things in their faces and yelling. If I feel like writing more later, I guess I will. I'm extremely lazy right now, so I'll update later! FOR MORE UPDATES AND NEWS, GO TO MY TWITTER: www.twitter.com ..or my tumblr: www.osnapitzren.tumblr.com Thanks so much for being patient! Please enjoy~ Love Rena! {I just realised that this is the first video that I've written with capital letters. Wow, sophistication at it's finest~}

The mainstream Australian culture (occasionally defined as the Anglo-Celtic culture), is a Western culture largely derived from the traditions of Western European migrants beginning with the early settlers from England, Scotland, and Ireland. The populations of Sydney, Melbourne and the other major cities are different from the demographics of rural Australia as a result of the differing migration patterns.
Australian people can refer to:
Indigenous Australians
Australian diaspora
There is an estimated 1 million Australians (approximately 5% of the population) residing outside Australia. Hundreds of thousands of young Australians traditionally spend time living in Europe, especially in the United Kingdom, but most return to Australia. The Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement facilitates open migration to and from New Zealand. Key factors affecting the Australian Diaspora are rise of a global labour market, more accessible and economical international transport, and increasingly sophisticated communication technologies along with a growing interest in broader global community.
Population
The current Australian population is estimated at 000}} ( ). This does not include an estimated 1 million Australians living overseas (see above), but it includes the estimated 24% of Australians born overseas (in various nations, but predominantly the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Italy, China, Vietnam, India, the Philippines, and Greece).
Historical
The data in the table is sourced from the Australian Bureau of Statistics Note that population estimates in the table below do not include the Aboriginal population before 1961. Estimates of Aboriginal population prior to European settlement range from 300,000 to one million, with archaeological finds indicating a sustainable population of around 750,000.

Ancestry
Abolition of the White Australia Policy in the mid-1970s led to a significant increase in non-European immigration, mostly from Asia and the Middle East. About 90% of Australia's population is of European descent. Over 8% of the population is of Asian descent (predominantly Chinese, Vietnamese, Filipino and Indian). The total indigenous population is estimated to be about 520,000 individuals, including people of mixed descent. The population of Queensland also includes descendants of South Sea Islanders brought over for indentured servitude in the 19th century.
In the 2006 Australian Census residents were asked to describe their ancestry, in which up to two could be nominated. Proportionate to the Australian resident population, the most commonly nominated ancestries were:
At the 2006 Census 455,026 people (or 2.3% of the total Australian population) reported they were of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander origin.
Languages
English, a West Germanic language, is the ''de facto'' national language of Australia and is spoken by the majority of the population, regardless of other languages spoken. Most Australians speak Australian English, however Australian Aboriginal English and Torres Strait English, along with various creoles and pidgins, are spoken by some Indigenous Australians. Australia is home to a great number of unique but endangered Indigenous Australian languages, as well as Australian Aboriginal sign languages. Australia's hearing-impaired community primarily uses Auslan, a member of the BANZSL language family.The diverse backgrounds of Australians lead to a great number of community languages being spoken: {|class="wikitable" width="100%" |- !width="30%"|Language||width="50px"|Speakers||width="30%"|Language||width="50px"|Speakers||width="30%"|Language||width="50px"|Speakers |- |English only||15,581,333||Indigenous Australian languages||55,705||Samoan||28,525 |- |Italian||316,895||Korean||54,623||Portuguese||25,779 |- |Greek||252,226||Turkish||53,857||Khmer||24,715 |- |Arabic||243,662||Serbian||52,534||Banyumasan||23,164 |- |Mandarin||220,600||French||43,216||Persian||22,841 |- |Vietnamese||194,863||Indonesian||42,036||Hungarian||21,565 |- |Spanish||98,001||Maltese||36,514||Hindi||20,223 |- |Filipino (Tagalog)||92,331||Russian||36,502||Urdu||19,288 |- |German||75,634||Dutch||36,183||Afrikaans||16,806 |- |Cantonese||70,011||Japanese||35,111||Bengali||15,743 |- |Macedonian||67,835||Tamil||32,700||Punjabi||13,164 |- |Croatian||63,612||Sinhalese||29,055 || colspan="2" rowspan="2"| |- |Polish||53,389||Assyrian||23,526 |- |}

The Australian Bureau of Statistics gathers information on religious belief in the national census. As in many Western countries, the level of active participation in church worship is lower than would be indicated by the proportion of the population identifying themselves as Christian; weekly attendance at church services is about 1.5 million, or about 7.5% of the population.
Nationality
Australians share Australian nationality, which is governed by Australian nationality law. Since there is no national identification card, commonly accepted proofs of Australian citizenship are the Australian passport, an Australian birth certificate (prior to 1986, when jus soli was abolished), or an Australian citizenship certificate. Australia permits dual citizenship with no restriction.

The Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards, also known as the KCAs and/or Kids Choice Awards, is an annual awards show that airs on the Nickelodeon cable channel, which airs live and is usually held and telecast live (though with a three-hour time delay for those watching in the Pacific Time Zone or on the Nick 2 feed on digital cable that simulcasts the Pacific time zone feed) on a Saturday night in late March or early April, that honors the year's biggest television, movie, and music acts, as voted by Nickelodeon viewers. Winners receive a hollow orange blimp figurine, a logo outline for much of the network's 1984-2011 era, which also functions as a kaleidoscope.
The show features numerous celebrity guests and musical acts. In recent years, slime stunts have been incorporated into the show. The KCAs also host live entertainment. It has also been known to overwhelmingly cover people with the network's trademark green slime. SpongeBob SquarePants has won the most KCA awards (8), followed by Will Smith (7), Miley Cyrus (6), Britney Spears (5) and Hilary Duff (4). Whoopi Goldberg is the only person to have won a Kids' Choice Award, an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony. Rosie O'Donnell (8) and Jack Black (3) have hosted the most KCAs.
History
Alan Goodman, Albie Hecht and Fred Seibert started the awards show as ''The Big Ballot'' in 1986, named for the ballots kids voted with. To vote, the viewers would send in ballots and then before the show, the ballots would be counted and the winners would tape a thank you video that would be shown during the program.The award was configured into the current blimp shape/kaleidoscope in 1990. The only change to the award since that time has been to change the embossed logotype on the side of the trophy for 2010 to fit the network's new logo typeface.
As the Internet came into widespread use, the voting eventually moved from a combination of 900 number telephone voting and ballots either mailed or completed at Pizza Hut locations, to moving exclusively online to the network's website and by 2007, text messaging. Early years of Internet voting had the early adoption complications of ballot stuffing and even adults voting before a new system where only one vote per Nick.com account became the procedure for voting on the awards (although it is probable adults still cast votes via the texting option, which is connected to a phone number only rather than a screenname, or by creating an account with a false age or having their children vote for a chosen subject instead). In 2010, an iPhone application and mobile browser voting was also added.
The 2009, KCAs featured a new award called "The Big Green Help Award" which goes to the celebrity who goes above and beyond to help the Earth. The inaugural award was presented to Leonardo DiCaprio. For the 2010 awards, the "The Big Green Help" award was renamed "The Big Help" award, with First Lady Michelle Obama winning the first award under the rename.
Unlike traditional awards shows, the Kids' Choice Awards uses other items to announce an award winner rather than a traditional envelope. The show sometimes uses balloons, T-shirts, models, giant letters, and even a foot (2008). In contrast to the trend of declining ratings for awards shows, the Kids' Choice Awards has gone from strength to strength, setting new ratings records each of the past four years (2005–2009).
Voting for Canadians became available for the 2010 ceremony with the inauguration of Nickelodeon Canada in November 2009.
In June 2011, Nickelodeon Latin America announced a Kids' Choice Awards for Mexico. Other countries with their own Kids' Choice Awards: Brazil, United Kingdom, Australia, and Indonesia.

Hosts
There was no host in 1987 because by this time, it was The Big Ballot.
Hosts after 2003
After Rosie O' Donnell's final show as host in 2003, Nickelodeon started picking other celebrities to host, based on their upcoming films. Mike Myers and Cameron Diaz hosted the show in 2004, coinciding with their upcoming film, ''Shrek 2''. In 2005, Ben Stiller was the host to promote ''Madagascar''. Justin Timberlake hosted in 2007 promoting ''Shrek the Third''. In 2006, Jack Black hosted the show to promote ''Nacho Libre'' and once again in 2008 to tie in with ''Kung Fu Panda'' and another time in 2011 to promote ''Kung Fu Panda 2''. Dwayne Johnson hosted the 2009 ceremony, to promote ''Race to Witch Mountain''. Kevin James hosted the 2010 show to promote Paul Blart Mall Cop. Ben Stiller will host the 2012 show to promote ''Madagascar 3''.
To host twice or more
Jack Black hosted in 2006, 2008, and the 2011 shows and so far the first host after Rosie O'Donnell to host the show at least twice. Candace Cameron and Whitney Houston were the first hosts before O'Donnell to host at least twice (Cameron 1990 and 1994, Houston 1995 and 1996).
Special colored awards
These blimps are not orange like the regular blimps and the winners are chosen by the Nickelodeon staff. There is the gold Hall of Fame Award (1991–2000), the silver Wannabe Award (2001–2008), the green Big Green Help Award (2009) and the silver glitter Big Help Award (2010–present). The blimps sported a new Nickelodeon logo, which was shown to viewers late 2009.
The Hall of Fame Award
The Hall of Fame Award (a gold version of the Blimp award) was presented to those whose accomplishments, fame and popularity set them above everyone else. Initially, the award was chosen by the kids from a slate of nominees. Actors, athletes and singers were all eligible for the award, with ballots containing nominees from multiple categories.

This blimp was first featured on a KCA update promo with Lily Collins announcing the new award. Originally, Cameron Diaz's award was supposed to be a Big Green Help award because she was to have received hers for helping the environment. Instead it was postponed until the following year when this award replaced it and Diaz presented the first award to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Slimed celebrities
During a Kids' Choice Awards, sometimes a celebrity might not know when they are going to be slimed onstage or offstage. Hosts have also been slimed, mostly in the finale of the show. Below is a list of all the celebrities that have been slimed over the past years at the Kids' Choice Awards. It does not mention any celebrities in 1992 because the audience was slimed instead. Regardless, "Sliming Is An Honor" and never used as a penalty.{|class="wikitable" |- ! Year !

Slime stunts
Started in 2002, the show began its annual ''World Record Slime Stunts''. Olympians, extreme sports superstars and daredevils participate in special stunts performed live on national television—often involving landing into the trademark green slime.
| ! Year | ! Celebrity (ies) | Stunt synopsis |
| Dave Mirra | ||
| Tony Hawk | The skateboarding champion skateboarded into an 11,000 gallon tank of green slime. | |
| Mat Hoffman | The BMX pro performed the "World Record Skydiving Bike Jump" landing in a lakefull of green slime. | |
| Donald Trump | ||
| Ryan St. Onge | ||
| Bungee jumping into a pool of slime. | ||
| Jack BlackOrlando Bloom | ''Kids Choice 2008'' had many slime stunts all hosted by professional boxer Laila Ali. Depending on the outcome of the stunt, a certain amount of green slime was added to a slime vat backstage which was called throughout as the "Slime Meter". The slime was used later on at the end of the show, in supposedly the "World's Longest Celebrity Sliming," in which Orlando Bloom joined host Jack Black to be slimed for one solid minute. Host Black even remarked about how 27 tons of slime (the grand total) could fit in a vat that only held 25 tons. | |
| Akon | ||
| Heidi Klum | The last stunt was performed by the German supermodel or as host Black called her "Heidi the Human Dart". Klum was attached by a harness to a long cable, allowing her to swing freely in which she did. Armed with a pad of spikes, she swung between her platform and what was a trampoline-like wall covered in slime balloons. For every slime balloon Klum popped in 30 seconds, one more ton of slime was added to the vat. Kids voted online to determine exactly what type of spike pad Klum would use to pop the balloons. The choices were the hand-worn "mittens" and the winner the "butt pad" which unanimously beat out the mittens. Klum popped 7 balloons on the wall, adding 7 more tons of slime to the vat and bringing the total of slime in the vat to 27 tons. | |
| Will Ferrell | The comedian-actor slid down a slime-covered slide that was placed on top of Janss Steps on the UCLA campus, on a luge head first into a pool of slime. | |

The Web Cartoonists' Choice Awards (WCCA) are annual awards in which online cartoonists nominate and select outstanding webcomics. The awards have been held since 2001, were featured in a ''The New York Times'' column on webcomics in 2005, and have been mentioned as a tool for librarians.
The WCCA represent a form of peer recognition, with voting rights granted only to creators working on online webcomics. Winners of awards receive an individualized web banner for their site, although MegaCon announced in 2007 that a live presentation would be made for the first time. In 2003, 2005 and 2006 the awards were presented in an online ceremony depicted in comic strip form and involving a number of creators.
The WCCA were started by Scott Maddix and Mark Mekkes in 2000, with the first awards made in 2001. Mekkes noted his motivation as being to "create a webcomic award process that would do the most to help the webcomic community and encourage creators to strive toward greatness." Mekkes set up a committee to run the awards, initially known as the Cartoonists' Choice Awards, assuming the position of chairman, a role he was still holding in 2007. A press release on ''The Dreamland Chronicles''
Other problems have included the award ceremony being delayed due to "technical difficulties". In 2006 it was not ready until five days after the winners had been announced.
Eric Monster Millikin romance comics controversy
In 2006, voters chose Eric Millikin's horror/romance comic ''Eric Monster Millikin'' (then called ''Fetus-X'') as one of the top five finalists for the "Outstanding Romance Comic" award; however, it was disqualified by the awards' executive committee. The WCCA committee wrote that "Foetus-X's [sic] nomination for "Outstanding Romance Comic" does not comply with the Outstanding Romance Comic category's genre criteria" of "addressing issues of love and romance in their stories, settings and characters." ''Fetus-X'' was disqualified despite the awards committee's position that "We never want to limit the voters choices in any way. ... It's been very important that we not 'water down' these awards by controlling the results ..."This move was roundly criticized, with Comixtalk publisher Xaviar Xerexes saying "throwing out the Fetus X nomination a few years ago was a mistake, the WCCAs by definition are supposed to be based on votes and there should not have been any kind of 'veto' like the executive committee enacted." Websnark blogger Eric Burns complained that "if you're going to ask Webcartoonists to nominate who they think is the best in given categories, and then you drop their nominations because you don't agree with them ... then what exactly's the point?"
In 2007, Millikin's comic was again nominated for "Outstanding Romantic Comic," but was not disqualified by the executive committee. In 2008, the executive committee went to the lengths of removing the romance comics award and all other genre award categories in an attempt to avoid further controversy.
Top award winners
The awards have numerous categories, a fact the ''New York Times'' criticised in 2005, noting that at 26 there "were too many award categories". The comic strip to have achieved the most awards is the now-finished ''Mac Hall'' with 9, followed by ''Chopping Block'' and ''The Perry Bible Fellowship'' which have received 8 awards, and ''Penny Arcade'' and ''Count Your Sheep'' which have won 7 awards.

Jessica Hilda Mauboy (born 4 August 1989), is an Indigenous Australian R&B; singer-songwriter and actress. In 2006, Mauboy was the runner-up on the fourth season of ''Australian Idol'', she had auditioned for the talent show in Alice Springs to pursue a recording career. Mauboy subsequently signed a contract with Sony Music Australia.
In February 2007, she released her debut live album, ''The Journey'', which reached number four on the ARIA Albums Chart, and was certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). The album contained selected songs Mauboy performed as part of the top-twelve on ''Australian Idol''. Later that year, she briefly became a member of all-girl pop group Young Divas, before resuming her solo career early in 2008. Mauboy released her debut studio album, ''Been Waiting'', in November 2008, which spawned her first number-one hit single, "Burn", as well as the album's other top-ten hits, "Because" and "Running Back". In 2010, ''Been Waiting'' was certified double Platinum by the ARIA, for shipments of 140,000 units, and became the second highest-selling Australian album of 2009. At the 2009 ARIA Music Awards, Mauboy earned seven nominations for the album and singles; she won 'Highest Selling Single' for "Running Back".
Her second studio album, ''Get 'Em Girls'', was released in November 2010; it debuted at number six on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified Gold. Additionally, it spawned the hit singles, "Saturday Night" and "Inescapable". As of August 2011, Mauboy has released five top-ten singles, as well as two top-ten albums. Mauboy made her acting debut in the film adaptation of the 1990 Aboriginal musical, ''Bran Nue Dae'' (2010), for which she received a nomination for "Female Actress of the Year" at the 2010 Deadly Awards. Mauboy's cameo role in TV series, ''Underbelly: Razor'' and a lead role in ''The Sapphires'', are due to be screened in 2011 and 2012, respectively.
Life and career
1989–2006: Early life, beginnings, and ''Australian Idol''
Jessica Hilda Mauboy was born on 4 August 1989 and raised in Darwin, Northern Territory. Her father, Ferdi, is of Indonesian descent who came from West Timor, and her mother, Therese, is an Indigenous Australian. Mauboy is the youngest of five children and from an early age, she was involved in the local church choir with her grandmother. Her home was described as the "noisiest house on the block", with her mother often singing, her father playing guitar and the rest of the family displaying their passion for music. Mauboy attended Sanderson High School in Darwin.At the age of fourteen, Mauboy's talents were exposed through the Telstra Road to Tamworth competition at the 2004 Tamworth Country Music Festival. As the first winner of the competition, Mauboy travelled to Sydney to perform and scored a recording deal with Sony Music Australia. She then released a country-inspired rendition of the Cyndi Lauper's hit "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun". A video for her version of the song had a release; however, the song went nowhere and Mauboy returned to Darwin until auditioning for TV talent show, ''Australian Idol'', in 2006.
She auditioned for the fourth season of ''Australian Idol'' in Alice Springs, singing Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing". Her audition impressed all three judges, and she progressed through to the semi-finals. Following the semi-final process, Mauboy had advanced through to the top twelve. The media cited her previous Sony contract as grounds for dismissal, but since the contract had expired, ''Australian Idol'' producers refused to remove her from the show. Throughout the series, Mauboy continued to impress the judges with her performances. In the final eleven week, following her rendition of Kelly Clarkson's "Walk Away", judge Kyle Sandilands commented on Mauboy's weight, that if she wished to succeed in the music industry, she should "lose the jelly belly". Mauboy appeared stunned by the comment. In an interview with ''Who'' magazine's Alicia Neil, two years after the comment was made, Mauboy stated "I kind of took it as a joke ... I look back on it as a positive thing – it made me a stronger person." In the final ten week, Mauboy received the first touchdown of the season from judge Mark Holden for her rendition of Christina Aguilera's hit, "Beautiful". During the final nine week, Mauboy had a sore throat that resulted in a mediocre rendition of Phil Collins' "Another Day in Paradise" and near-elimination, which landed her in the bottom three. Following that week, she never landed in the bottom three again, and ended up progressing through to the final show with Damien Leith. The grand finale was held on 27 November at the Sydney Opera House. After the viewer votes had been tallied it was announced that Mauboy was runner-up to Leith.
2006–2008: ''The Journey'' and Young Divas
In December 2006, Jessica Mauboy signed a recording contract with Sony Music Australia – two weeks after the fourth season of ''Australian Idol'' ended. In 2007, Mauboy appeared in advertisements for the shampoo product, Head & Shoulders. She released her debut live album, ''The Journey'' in Australia on 24 February 2007. The album was a two-disc package. Disc one contained re-recorded covers of the selected songs Mauboy performed as part of the top twelve on ''Australian Idol'', while disc two included a DVD of her performances on the series. ''The Journey'' debuted at number four on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified Gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA).In September 2007, Mauboy joined as the new member of the girl group Young Divas, replacing one of the group's original members, Ricki-Lee Coulter, who had left in June to resume her solo career. Their second studio album, ''New Attitude'', was released on 24 November. Its lead single, "Turn Me Loose", was released on 3 November, and reached number fifteen on the ARIA Singles Chart. The album debuted at number ten on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified Gold.
Meanwhile in March 2008, Mauboy signed on to the Australian Government In2Oz program, designed to promote closer ties with Indonesia. As a part of the program, she travelled to Indonesia for a three day trip performing around the country, including an appearance on ''Indonesian Idol'', singing Beyoncé's "Crazy in Love" and "Sempurna" with former ''Indonesian Idol'' contestants Mike, Judika and Lucky. It was during this time that Mauboy had begun to work on her first solo studio album. Following her three day trip from Indonesia, she returned to Sydney for a week-long recording session. In August, Mauboy announced that after a year with the Young Divas, she had decided to quit in order to concentrate on her solo career. Founding member Paulini Curuenavuli had also decided to depart, leaving Kate DeAraugo and Emily Williams as the only remaining members. Their manager David Champion stated that the group would undergo a third line-up change following the departures of Mauboy and Curuenavuli, with a third album to be released later in the year. However both DeAraugo and Williams subsequently resumed their solo careers, and the group officially disbanded.
2008–2009: ''Been Waiting''
In late 2008, Jessica Mauboy re-located from Darwin to Sydney and prepared for the release of her debut studio album, ''Been Waiting''. It was released on 22 November; it peaked at number twelve and was certified double Platinum for shipments of 140,000 units. Mauboy co-wrote six of the album's songs, which were produced by Audius Mtawarira, Israel Cruz, Jonas Jeberg, Cutfather, Adam Reily, Fingaz, and Kwamé. The album received positive reviews from critics. Davey Boy from Sputnikmusic gave the album three out of five stars and wrote that it was an "impressive debut which suggests that there could indeed be quality music to look forward to in the future as she matures and gains experience"."Running Back", featuring American rapper Flo Rida, was released as the album's lead single on 19 September. It peaked at number three and was certified double Platinum. The album's second single, "Burn", became Mauboy's first number-one single, and was certified Platinum. In February 2009, Mauboy signed with UK record label Ministry of Sound. The album's title track was released as the third single on 6 March. The song peaked at number twelve and was certified Gold. The following singles, "Because" and "Up/Down", peaked at numbers nine and eleven, respectively, and both were certified Gold. In April 2009, Mauboy teamed up with Bloom Cosmetics to create two designer collection nail polishes, which included shades of sangria red and metallic green. Two dollars from the sale of each of the nail polish bottles was donated to Children's Hospital Foundations Australia to support the research into childhood illness. The album was released in Japan on 22 April 2009.
At the 2009 Deadly Awards, Mauboy won three awards in the categories of 'Female Artist of the Year', 'Album of the Year' for ''Been Waiting'', and 'Single Release of the Year' for "Burn". Along with Flo Rida, Mauboy served as a support act for Beyoncé on the Australian leg of her I Am... Tour in September 2009. At the 2009 ARIA Music Awards, Mauboy earned seven nominations for the album and singles; she was nominated for 'Highest Selling Album', 'Best Pop Release', 'Breakthrough Artist Album', 'Best Female Artist', 'Breakthrough Artist Single' for "Running Back", and 'Highest Selling Single' for "Running Back" and "Burn". Eventually, Mauboy won 'Highest Selling Single' for "Running Back".
2010–present: Acting debut and ''Get 'Em Girls''
In January 2010, Jessica Mauboy had a starring role in the film adaptation of the 1990 Aboriginal musical ''Bran Nue Dae''. The film was directed by Rachel Perkins and also starred Ernie Dingo, Geoffrey Rush, Missy Higgins, and Deborah Mailman. In the film, Mauboy played the role of Rosie, a local church singer who has a love interest for a school boy named Willie (played by Rocky McKenzie). Five days after ''Bran Nue Dae'' was issued, Mauboy signed to Universal Music for an exclusive world-wide long-term publishing agreement. In April 2010, Mauboy was part of the Byron Bay's ''Bluesfest'' along with many other national and international acts. In May 2010, she collaborated with four other international artists representing their continents—Sean Kingston representing America, Jody Williams representing Africa, Tabitha Nauser (Asia), Steve Appleton (Europe), with Mauboy representing Oceania—on a song titled "Everyone". The song was initially recorded to be used as the theme song for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics. Mauboy, Williams, Nauser and Appleton performed the song at the opening of the Youth Olympics held in Singapore on 14 August 2010. Kingston was unable to attend the performance, due to a passport mix-up.During the 2010 ARIA Music Awards, Mauboy mispronounced the word 'debut' as 'de-butt' twice, while referring to rock band Tame Impala's album ''Innerspeaker'' (which she called Innerspeak), as a finalist for the 'Album of the Year' award. Two days later, Mauboy told radio station Nova that "I wasn't actually reading it. It wasn't going through my head ... I only got the script that day and it was just like 'have a look and see ya later, and go do your hair and make-up.' That's how the lady was when she handed me the script." Mauboy released her second studio album, ''Get 'Em Girls'', on 5 November 2010. She had travelled to the United States in February 2010 to work on the album in Los Angeles, New York, and Atlanta with a wide range of American songwriters and producers, most of whom she had not worked with previously. Mauboy co-wrote three of the album's songs. The album debuted at number six and was certified Gold. It received mixed reviews from critics. Majhid Heath from ABC Online Indigenous gave the album two-and-a-half out of five stars, writing that its a "non-cohesive mess of similar sounding, auto-tuned ravaged pop/R&B; that diminishes the talent of this brilliant young songstress".
The album's title track featuring American rapper Snoop Dogg, was released as its lead single on 17 September 2010, and peaked at number nineteen. Mauboy performed "Get 'Em Girls" with dance troupe Justice Crew at the 2010 NRL Grand Final on 3 October. Mauboy also performed the song at the 2010 Nickelodeon Australian Kids' Choice Awards on 8 October, where she co-hosted the award ceremony with Liam Hemsworth and Jerry Trainor, and took home the award for 'Fave Aussie Muso'. "Saturday Night", featuring American rapper Ludacris, was released as the album's second single on 25 October. The song peaked at number seven and was certified double Platinum. "What Happened to Us", featuring English singer Jay Sean, and "Inescapable" were released as the album's third and fourth singles, respectively. In April 2011, Mauboy served as a support act for American singer Chris Brown's Australian leg of his F.A.M.E. Tour.
As from June 2011, Mauboy has been cast in a lead role in the upcoming film, ''The Sapphires'', based on the stage show of the same name. The film was directed by Wayne Blair, and is set in the late 1960s during the Vietnam war. Mauboy plays the role of Julie, one of four Indigenous Australian singers. The film is expected to be released in September–October 2012. In August 2011, Mauboy was working with clothing label, Kuku, to create a collection of party dresses, available at premium boutiques. Mauboy will make a cameo appearance in the television series, ''Underbelly: Razor'', playing a beautiful nightclub singer.
Musical style and themes
Mauboy's music is generally R&B; and pop, but she also incorporates hip hop into some of her songs. Mauboy grew up listening to country singers Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton, as well as rappers Tupac, Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg. She likes to play the piano while singing songs by Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and the Bee Gees. Mauboy cites Carey as one of her musical inspirations. She says, "I've always been a big fan of Mariah Carey. I think it's her personality. As much as she has an amazing voice, she has a crazy personality and I love the fact that she’s not afraid to hide that." Mauboy has also named Houston as another one of her musical inspirations, and has stated that she is a fan of Jennifer Lopez.Mauboy's debut album, ''Been Waiting'', has been described as "a blend of electro beats, heartfelt pop tunes and R&B; bass lines." Most of the themes on the album deal with boys, love and break-ups. Mauboy told Star Online that:
It's definitely something that I had in mind and that I really wanted to put down quickly before I forgot about it. Being in the studio gave me that inspiration to keep going ... I wanted the album to be mixed up and messed up. That's what it's all about as I was in a messed-up relationship at the time and that's the base line of the album and I just wanted to forget about it.
Jarrad Bevan from ''The Mercury'' noted that the album also contains themes about "everyday life", "family issues", and "friendship". Alasdair Duncan from ''Rave'' magazine, described Mauboy's second album, ''Get 'Em Girls'', as "a more hard-edged take on R&B; and pop than her debut, pumped full of hip hop beats, jagged synths and futuristic vocal effects." Mauboy said that she wanted each song on the album to talk about a "woman's needs", and that the album's theme was "very much about the empowerment of women and the domination of women." Aside from her vocals and piano work, Mauboy has also co-written some of her material. She co-wrote six songs on her first album, and three on her second album. Although Mauboy has no writing credits for the songs "Fight for You" and "Here for Me" on the album ''Get 'Em Girls'' she stated in an interview that while working with American producer Harvey Mason, Jr. both came up with the melodies and hooks for these songs. She also experimented with an operatic-type voice on her song "Scariest Part". In 2010, she was nominated for 'Breakthrough Songwriter of the Year' at the APRA Awards.
