Jessica Mauboy is an Australian Idol runner-up from a couple of years back. Does pop r&b that isn't innovative but about half the time is very pretty, especially her current single "Running Back" - she sings it with a floating poignancy that hearkens back to '60s vocal groups like the Impressions and the Miracles and the Temptations and to the slew of reggae singers who took those singers as their model.

That is excellent - I agree about her vocal performance, she's so ON throughout that it really elevates it. Reminds me of how Nicole Scherzinger and Christina Milian approach their more "generic" material. Flo Rida is really terrible though, I guess this is why no US R&B star will let him on their tracks.
