Jess Origliasso says Veronicas' ARIA nods 'not about flashed boobs'

EXPECT fireworks should The Veronicas' Jess and Lisa win more than one of the four ARIA Awards they have been nominated for.

'We worked hard to realise a dream' ... Lisa and Jess Origliasso.

'My boobs won't win an ARIA'

EXPECT fireworks should The Veronicas' Jess and Lisa win more than one of the four ARIA Awards they have been nominated for tomorrow.

Their first acceptance speech will be the ubiquitous thank-yous to their record label, fans and supporters.

But just in case they don't get another trip to the awards podium, Jess and Lisa Origliasso shared it with the Daily Telegraph yesterday.

"I want to get on my soapbox. I think the speech would be that I want to remind people we are up there because we worked hard to realise a dream we have had since we were so young," Jess said. 

"We are not up there because my boobs were flashed all over the world.

"We worked so hard to get to the point where people could rethink pop music and that you can have longevity doing that kind of music, that it doesn't have to be disposable.

"What p---ed me off about everything that has happened this year is that it has degraded and detracted from what we have done.

"Getting nominated for an ARIA isn't easy and winning one is so much harder."

Her twin sister, who shared Jess's pain after private photos were leaked by someone trying to sabotage their career, said it was important The Veronicas remained inspirational to their young fans.

"We want people to have the dream that maybe they can get up there on the ARIAs stage like we did," she said.

The dynamic twin duo, who spent yesterday afternoon rehearsing for their performance of Untouched tomorrow night, also announced they will be back in Australia for their Revenge Is Sweeter tour in February.

"Yeah, the name of the tour really does say it all," Lisa said.
