Jessica Mauboy and Guy Sebastian performed at tonight, singing a tribute to Aussie icon John Farnham, covering his songs 'Burn For You' and 'You're The Voice' but some fans noticed a little error when it came to the duet. After Guy's solo performance of 'Burn For You' Jess took to the stage to kick off Australia's unofficial national anthem, 'You're The Voice' but she appeared to accidentally sing the first line incorrectly. The first verse starts with the lyrics "We have the chance to turn the pages over", but Jess started with the first line of the second verse, singing, "This time, we know we all can stand together" before continuing with the correct second line "we can write what we want to write, we gotta make ends meet, before we get much older.
" On X, one viewer picked up on the mistake, tweeting, "Jess Mauboy can bloody sing but she just sang the wrong words to start 'You're The Voice' didn’t even get close to the first line." "If only 'You're The Voice' had started with the correct line," another person said. "If only Jess had sung the correct first line to You're The Voice," said a third.
Despite the mishap, other Logies watches praised Guy and Jess for their moving performance. "Guy Sebastian and Jess Mauboy..
You did him proud," one person tweeted. "Jess Mauboy kills it. Every.
Single. Time," another fan said. "Guy & Jess.
