In 2006, Jessica Mauboy auditioned for the fourth season of Australian Idol, in Alice Springs, Northern Territory, singing "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston.[1] Her audition impressed the judges, and she progressed to the semi-finals.[1] Following the semi-final rounds, she advanced into the top twelve, and after progressing to the final two, Mauboy was announced as the runner-up to fellow contestant Damien Leith.[2] Two weeks after the conclusion of Australian Idol, Mauboy signed a recording contract with Sony BMG Australia, and released The Journey in Australia on 24 February 2007.[3][4] Released as a two-disc package, it contains re-recorded covers of the selected songs Mauboy performed as part of the top twelve on Australian Idol, and a DVD of her live performances in the series.[3] The Journey debuted at number four on the ARIA Albums Chart and was certified gold by the Australian Recording Industry Association for shipments of 35,000 copies.[5][6]
