00:01:04Good, feeling good.
00:01:05Bringing in.
00:01:07Oh, this is Nan.
00:01:08It means everything.
00:01:09She's the glue.
00:01:10I think we just like get straight into it.
00:01:12Let's go.
00:01:13Hug, love, hug.
00:01:14Good luck.
00:01:15Have fun in there.
00:01:16Phew.
00:01:34Hello there.
00:01:35Hello.
00:01:36Hey.
00:01:37How are you, buddy?
00:01:38Good.
00:01:39Feeling good.
00:01:40What's your name?
00:01:41My name's Kalani.
00:01:42Kalani, where are you from?
00:01:43Kalani.
00:01:44I'm from the Central Coast, a little town called Bensville on the Central Coast.
00:01:48So what brings you here today?
00:01:49Like, have you been singing, performing?
00:01:51Is this the dream?
00:01:52Tell us about yourself.
00:01:53I work as a landscaper near the beach most days.
00:01:56Nice.
00:01:57So I'm constantly near the beach.
00:01:58That's tough work.
00:01:59Yeah.
00:02:00Lifting rocks, shoveling dirt.
00:02:01It is, mate.
00:02:02Rolling out grass.
00:02:03It's not for the faint hearted.
00:02:05No.
00:02:06No.
00:02:07I definitely prefer to be singing.
00:02:09How did you get into music?
00:02:11It's Nan, for sure.
00:02:12You're Nan.
00:02:13I love that.
00:02:14Because a lot of the time I was sort of there when my parents were working and stuff, like
00:02:20multiple jobs trying to keep things going, so me and Nan are like besties.
00:02:24Is Nan still around?
00:02:25Yeah, she's out there.
00:02:26Oh, she's outside.
00:02:27Oh, I love that.
00:02:28This is great.
00:02:29I was at my Nan's a lot and I loved my grandmother so much.
00:02:32Yeah.
00:02:33Laying on her shag carpet, feeling all her clipped toenails in my stomach.
00:02:37Shut the hell.
00:02:38Anyway, Kalani, what are you going to sing today?
00:02:41I'm going to sing Torn by Natalie Imbruglia.
00:02:44Oh.
00:02:45Great song.
00:02:46Just relax.
00:02:47A few deep breaths.
00:02:51Whenever you're ready.
00:02:53Two.
00:02:54Oh.
00:02:55I thought I saw a girl brought up to life.
00:03:09Oh.
00:03:10She was warm.
00:03:11She came around like she was dignified.
00:03:17She showed me what it was to cry.
00:03:23She couldn't be that girl that I adore.
00:03:27I'll go see.
00:03:28She didn't seem to know or care what her heart was for.
00:03:34And I don't know her anymore.
00:03:39There's nothing where she used to lie.
00:03:43The conversation as we drive, that's what's going on.
00:03:50Oh.
00:03:51There's nothing spot on.
00:03:54I'm tall.
00:03:55I'm all out of faith, and this is how I feel.
00:04:00I'm cold and I am shamed.
00:04:02I'm lying naked on the floor.
00:04:07Naked on the floor
00:04:10Illusions never change
00:04:13Then to something real

00:13:05Thank you so much
00:13:06Oh, what a lovely name
00:13:07Where are you from?
00:13:08I'm from the Northern Rivers
00:13:09So, like far north New South Wales
00:13:11Yeah
00:13:12Yeah, I'm 17
00:13:13I left school when I was 15
00:13:15And, you know, to take music seriously
00:13:17And I've just been, you know, gigging up sort of thing
00:13:19Okay, so what are you going to perform today?
00:13:22Um, I'm going to sing
00:13:23What You Get Is What You See by Tina Turner
00:13:26That's cool
00:13:27But with my own little
00:13:28My own little country swing on it
00:13:30My own little version
00:13:31Oh my god, I forgot about that Tina Turner song
00:13:32It's a good song
00:13:33It's a good song
00:13:34It's a good song
00:13:35It's a good song
00:13:36Oh, you should do it
00:13:37Please join me
00:13:38No, no, no
00:13:39Whatever you do, he'll sing it
00:13:40He, he, he'll, please don't
00:13:41Don't encourage him
00:13:42Never offer him the stage
00:13:43Please do not encourage him
00:13:44But what I want you to do is just breathe
00:13:47Take your time when you're ready
00:13:49I look forward to hearing you
00:13:50Thank you so much
00:13:51You're welcome
00:13:56You should go, you should go
00:14:04Some boys have got the look of the Greek Adonis
00:14:09And some boys will try to talk you off of your feet
00:14:17Some boys think they're God's gift to woman
00:14:21I like this country better
00:14:23Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat
00:14:28Seems really good
00:14:29Try to change the habit of a lifetime
00:14:32Don't even try
00:14:34Cause when you cut down deeper than the icing
00:14:37You realize
00:14:43What you get isn't what you see
00:14:45There ain't nothing more to it
00:14:47And if you wanna love a woman like me
00:14:51It takes a man to do it
00:14:53If what you get isn't what you see
00:14:57Then I don't want that kind of love, no
00:15:01She's amazing
00:15:02I don't want that kind of love, no
00:15:07I don't want that kind of love
00:15:11God, I wasn't nervous before but I am
00:15:23You know, Lily Grace, um, you're sassy.
00:15:27Yeah.
00:15:28In the best way.
00:15:29And you enjoy what you do, which is even better to see.

00:15:38That was incredible.
00:15:40Yeah, this is, you're exciting.
00:15:42Thank you so much.

00:17:15Nice to meet you.
00:17:15Nice to meet you.
00:17:16That was insane.
00:17:18Thank you very much.
00:17:19I'm excited to see the rest of the talent.
00:17:21I think it's going to be a good competition.
00:17:24Yeah, quite literally.
00:17:25Well, game on.
00:17:26Yeah.
00:17:27Hey.
00:17:29Still to come, contestants from right around the country descend on Idol HQ.
00:17:36Let's go.
00:17:36And we're bringing out The Big Guns.
00:17:39This is good.
00:17:40As the first day of auditions continues.
00:17:47And Marsha's in Melbourne for the biggest audition in Australian Idol history.
00:17:54This is make or break.
00:17:55And one singer takes a bold risk.
00:17:59I don't have a song.
00:18:00Oh my goodness.
00:18:02I thought I'd leave the choice up to you guys.
00:18:05And it's crazy that you did that.
00:18:08But whose voice...
00:18:09So I'm saving all my love for you...
00:18:15Leaves Kyle speechless.
00:18:17Wow.
00:18:18No notes.
00:18:19It's a yes from me.
00:18:27Don't take...
00:18:28From all over Australia...
00:18:29These beautiful things that I've got...
00:18:32Wave after wave of young hopefuls are descending on Idol HQ.
00:18:40And no one has travelled further than our next singer.
00:18:45Just about to go into the audition.
00:18:47Got my family here to support me.
00:18:49Hope they do well.
00:18:50I'm John and I'm 16 and I'm from Bunbury, Western Australia.
00:18:55Bunbury's just a small coastal town.
00:18:57Two hours south of Perth.
00:18:59A lot of beaches.
00:19:00And just a lot of fun.
00:19:02I guess I'm just a regular teenager.
00:19:04I love my sport.
00:19:06I love my footy.
00:19:07That's probably my favourite sport to play.
00:19:09And I love my studies.
00:19:12Actually, that's such a lie.
00:19:13I don't love my studies.
00:19:17Kids my age listen to a lot of sad songs.
00:19:22But I love my 50s, 60s kind of music.
00:19:25One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock, rock.
00:19:28We're gonna rock around the clock tonight.
00:19:30It's so upbeat and it's fun.
00:19:35Love the movement as well.
00:19:37I find I can really connect with it
00:19:39and I feel really happy and have fun when I'm singing it.
00:19:41The king himself.
00:19:45Hello.
00:19:46Hello.
00:19:47Welcome.
00:19:49Here we are.
00:19:51How are you feeling?
00:19:52Yeah, I'm so excited.
00:19:53You feeling all right?
00:19:54Feeling nervous?
00:19:55I'm nervous.
00:19:55But that's okay.
00:19:56Shake it out.
00:19:58Give them a big hug.
00:19:59Come on, guys.
00:20:00I'm auditioning for Australian Idol today
00:20:03because I really want singing to be my life.
00:20:07Bye.
00:20:08And I think this could be a way
00:20:10that I could really step into that
00:20:12and take that into my life.
00:20:17Hi there.
00:20:18Hello, mate.
00:20:19Hello.
00:20:20Welcome.
00:20:21Don't you look cool?
00:20:22Thank you so much.
00:20:22You're welcome.
00:20:23What's your name?
00:20:24John.
00:20:25So, and how old are you, John?
00:20:26I'm 16.
00:20:27Okay.
00:20:2816?
00:20:28You're a little fella.
00:20:29Yeah, I am.
00:20:30Where are you from?
00:20:31Bunbury, Western Australia.
00:20:32Oh, Bunbury.
00:20:34I love Bunbury.
00:20:35That's a good spot.
00:20:36It is great.
00:20:37Tell us a bit.
00:20:38What do you do in Bunbury?
00:20:39Yeah.
00:20:40Just what a teenager does.
00:20:43Hang out.
00:20:43Hang out.
00:20:44Surf.
00:20:44Yeah.
00:20:45School.
00:20:46Sport.
00:20:46You and I were doing very different things as teenagers.
00:20:49I was doing none of those things.
00:20:51All of the other things.
00:20:52What is your music?
00:20:53What's your style?
00:20:54I love the 50s.
00:20:56Okay.
00:20:5650s.
00:20:57Where did that come from?
00:20:57Like, how does a 16-year-old fall in love with...
00:21:01The music's happy.
00:21:02Yeah, it is.
00:21:02Which, for me, I just want to be happy, especially as a teenager.
00:21:05There's always hard things, but the happiness is what I want to focus on.
00:21:08You're right.
00:21:08The music was happier back then, wasn't it?
00:21:11Okay.
00:21:11This is exciting.
00:21:12It is.
00:21:13What are you going to sing?
00:21:15Shout Johnny O'Keefe.
00:21:17Interesting.
00:21:17Now, I'm very familiar with Johnny O'Keefe.
00:21:20Oh, no.
00:21:21Because when I was growing up, my dad used to be a rockabilly.
00:21:25So, and J-O-K was his man.
00:21:28He loved him.
00:21:29And we'd just blast that on the two-in-one home stereo all day, all night.
00:21:34So, I love those songs.
00:21:36That's good to hear.
00:21:37No pressure.
00:21:38It's only joking.
00:21:39So, when you're ready, you take your time.
00:21:41Breathe.
00:21:42Do what you've got to do to perform, and I wish you all the luck, man.
00:21:45Okay, thank you.
00:21:46You're welcome, Johnny.
00:22:01Ooh.
00:22:02You know you make me want to kick my heels up, throw my hair back in, throw my hands up, come on now.
00:22:10Don't forget to say you well.
00:22:12Don't forget to say yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:22:18Say it right now, baby.
00:22:22Come on, come on.
00:22:23Say that you love me.
00:22:25Say that you need me.
00:22:27Say that you want me.
00:22:28I want you to know now.
00:22:31I want you to know now.
00:22:35You've been good to know.
00:22:38I said I want you to know right now.
00:22:43You know you make me want to kick my heels up, throw my hands up, throw my hair back in.
00:22:50Come on now.
00:22:51Come on now.
00:22:52Come on now.
00:22:53Come on now.
00:22:54Come on now.
00:22:57A little bit softer now.
00:22:58A little bit softer now.
00:22:59A little bit softer now.
00:23:00A little bit softer now.
00:23:01A little bit softer now.
00:23:02A little bit softer now.
00:23:03A little bit louder now.
00:23:04A little bit louder now.
00:23:05A little bit louder now.
00:23:06A little bit louder now.
00:23:07A little bit louder now.
00:23:08A little bit louder now.
00:23:09A little bit louder now.
00:23:10Oh, Ellie's loving it.
00:23:20Hey, hey, hey.
00:23:21You know you make me want to shine.
00:23:30Yeah, baby.
00:23:31OK.
00:23:32I feel 7 again.
00:23:33Oh, dear?
00:23:34That was so... Mate, that was...
00:23:37You put a whole youth spin on that old song.
00:23:40That was super cool. I loved that.
00:23:43I'm going to call you Johnny Jukebox.
00:23:46That's your new name? Johnny Jukebox.
00:23:48You know what a jukebox is?
00:23:50Is that the... I've heard it in songs.
00:23:53Is that a car? A little toy car thing?
00:23:55No, the jukebox is a machine.
00:23:57I'm not a toy car. Oh, no, the music thing.
00:23:59The music machine.
00:24:00I've been to, like, the 1950s restaurants
00:24:02where they have the jukeboxes.
00:24:04Yeah, those ones.
00:24:06You're Johnny Jukebox, and you're getting the first yes from me.
00:24:09Love it, love it, love it.
00:24:11It's a yes from me. Thank you so much.
00:24:12Yes from me too. Three yeses.
00:24:14We'll see you later on in the day.
00:24:15You might be lucky enough to get one of these.
00:24:18Never know. We'll see.
00:24:19But you're good. You're really good.
00:24:21Thank you, Johnny Jukebox.
00:24:22See you later today.
00:24:24What a happy guy.
00:24:27Nice kid.
00:24:30Three yeses.
00:24:31What is your, what's your shower song?
00:24:39What's your go-to?
00:24:40I don't sing in the shower.
00:24:41Oh, really?
00:24:42She only sing when someone paying her big money.
00:24:44She's not putting on a free gig for the whole suburb.
00:24:47Next.
00:24:53My name is Bailey Cross.
00:24:55I'm 19, and I'm from Greystains in Sydney.
00:24:58I don't know if you can tell, but I'm a bodybuilder.
00:25:01That love kind of grew and grew.
00:25:03I got deep into the sport.
00:25:04I decided, what if I step on stage with other people and see how I go.
00:25:08I got second in my first ever bodybuilding show, which was this year.
00:25:12But it's not first.
00:25:16I'm a competitive person, and I think Australian Idol is the most challenging singing competition there is.
00:25:22I want to fly on it, baby.
00:25:23What draws me to music is, if we don't know language, everyone knows, just like, the beats.
00:25:36I listen to songs that I don't even know the same language of, but I can understand, oh, that's so beautiful.
00:25:41Oh, why do I have to be so fizz, fizz, fizz, lous, what do I have to use these big words for?
00:25:48I'm a shower singer, so if I'm in the shower, I'm probably singing.
00:25:55I'm just going to pretend that Kyle is a bar of soap, that Marsha and Amy is shampoo-conditioner,
00:26:01and I'm just going to sing my heart out like I'm singing in the shower, like I do every day.
00:26:08Oh, hi.
00:26:09Here we go.
00:26:11How are you doing?
00:26:12Hello.
00:26:13I'm good.
00:26:14What's your name?
00:26:14My name is Bailey.
00:26:15Bailey, welcome to Australian Idol.
00:26:17Looks like you pump a bit of weights.
00:26:19Yeah, I sing in the gym, so I'm a multitasker.
00:26:22I do two things at once.
00:26:23Are you singing whilst you work out?
00:26:25That's true.
00:26:26That's very good.
00:26:27It's a smart thing.
00:26:28I'm working out my muscles and I'm working out the vocal cords.
00:26:31What do the people at the gym think of your singing?
00:26:35See, I don't know.
00:26:36See, they're my friends, so I don't know if they're lying to me or if they're telling the truth.
00:26:41A real friend would be honest.
00:26:43A real friend will tell you the truth.
00:26:45Oh, then I must be good, then.
00:26:46You must be.
00:26:46Whoa, that's why we're here.
00:26:47What are you going to sing today?
00:26:49I'm singing Sorry by Justin Bieber.
00:26:51Okay, best of luck, my friend.
00:26:53Let's see what you got.
00:26:54Hopefully I don't forget the lyrics.
00:26:56That's something you should just say in your own brain.
00:26:59But I get you.
00:27:00I'm with you.
00:27:01I hope to say that.
00:27:01My expectations are low.
00:27:03So are mine.
00:27:04This is good.
00:27:07I like this kid.
00:27:08I like this guy, yeah.
00:27:10When you're ready, man.
00:27:11No hurry.
00:27:11You got to go and get angry at all, on my honesty.
00:27:25You know I try, but I don't do too well with apologies.
00:27:28I hope I don't run out of time.
00:27:31Can someone call a referee?
00:27:33Because I just need a more shot at forgiveness.
00:27:37Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da.
00:27:38Yeah.
00:27:39Is it too late now to say sorry?
00:27:42Because I'm missing more than just your body.
00:27:47Uh-huh.
00:27:48Is it too late now to say sorry?
00:27:51Yeah, I know that I let you down.
00:27:54Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
00:27:58I love that song.
00:28:00Yeah.
00:28:00But the performance, I hated it.
00:28:05It felt like you were just saying the words,
00:28:07not actually singing the words.
00:28:10I gotcha.
00:28:10I gotcha.
00:28:11Look at the body on it, though.
00:28:12It's nice.
00:28:13It's nice.
00:28:14That's undeniable, but I'm not here for a body.
00:28:18Look at that.
00:28:18I'm here to hear a voice.
00:28:19When in doubt, get them guns out, bro.
00:28:21That's what you're doing.
00:28:21You don't want to start a gun off between Marsha either,
00:28:25because let me tell you,
00:28:26underneath this bullfighting style coat that she's got on,
00:28:31Mama got arms.
00:28:32For real.
00:28:33Damn.
00:28:34Damn.
00:28:34Now down the other end here,
00:28:36old olive oil, not so army.
00:28:38Hey, I gotcha.
00:28:40I've been lifting.
00:28:40I like, I like.
00:28:41I've been lifting.
00:28:43Anyway, Bailey, you seem like a really cool guy.
00:28:46The vocals aren't there, man.
00:28:47It's going to be a no from me.
00:28:49No from me too, Bailey,
00:28:50but, yeah, you're an entertaining fella.
00:28:52Yeah.
00:28:53I want to thank you for showing up,
00:28:54but it's a no from me.
00:28:56But keep going at the gym.
00:29:00Okay.
00:29:00You look great.
00:29:01Thank you guys so much.
00:29:02Flex out of here, brother.
00:29:03Flex out.
00:29:04Yes.
00:29:05Made Marsha's day.
00:29:06You know it.
00:29:08Bye, baby.
00:29:08It's uncanny,
00:29:09the similarities with the bodies,
00:29:10don't you think?
00:29:11Mine.
00:29:11Oh, yeah, she's pretty in it.
00:29:12She's like twins.
00:29:14Like Arnie and...
00:29:15Don't!
00:29:16Danny DeVito.
00:29:18I'm six foot one.
00:29:20Danny DeVito's like three foot...
00:29:21I was going to say you're the Arnie.
00:29:23You're Arnie.
00:29:23Oh, my mistake.
00:29:24I just assumed the wrong thing.
00:29:26Okay, next, please.
00:29:27What would you want me to sing if I was to...
00:29:29Um, Smoke on the Water?
00:29:30Smoke on the Water.
00:29:32My very first song I've ever heard.
00:29:33Hello, everybody.
00:29:34How are we doing?
00:29:35I love it.
00:29:36Who's singing today?
00:29:37Who have we got?
00:29:38Yourself?
00:29:39What's your name?
00:29:40Oh, I've never done this before.
00:29:41Oh, come on.
00:29:42I'm Eva.
00:29:43I'm 20 and I'm from Brisbane.
00:29:45Who have you brought with you today, Eva?
00:29:46This is Pop.
00:29:47Pop, g'day.
00:29:48This is my dad, Rob.
00:29:49My sister, Anna.
00:29:50And my mum, Lisa.
00:29:51Is this one of your biggest fans here?
00:29:52Yes.
00:29:53Yeah.
00:29:54I'm really close with my granddad.
00:29:56One Christmas, he bought me a guitar.
00:30:00Not long after the vocals came along
00:30:02and it just all kind of progressed after that.
00:30:04Do you think you could be the next Australian Idol?
00:30:05I think so.
00:30:06I've always dreamed of being a star.
00:30:09I'm passionate about music
00:30:10and I'm here today
00:30:12because I want to make my dreams happen.
00:30:15I'm a very versatile artist,
00:30:17so I'm going to surprise the judges
00:30:19with something they've never seen before.
00:30:22I'm going to let the judges decide
00:30:24what song I'm going to sing today.
00:30:27Good luck in there, whatever happens.
00:30:29This is a big risk,
00:30:36but if it works out, it's a big reward.
00:30:43Hi there.
00:30:45Hello.
00:30:45Well, welcome.
00:30:46How are you doing?
00:30:47I'm so good.
00:30:48How are you?
00:30:48We are well, thank you.
00:30:49What's your name?
00:30:50My name's Eva.
00:30:50I'm 20 and I'm from Brisbane.
00:30:52Ever?
00:30:52Yeah.
00:30:53Forever, ever.
00:30:54Like forever, never.
00:30:54I love that.
00:30:55Yeah.
00:30:56You actually remind me of someone.
00:30:57I can't quite place it.
00:30:59Does anyone else have that one?
00:31:00Yeah.
00:31:00Next Australian Idol.
00:31:01Next Idol.
00:31:02I like that.
00:31:03Oh, you're good.
00:31:05Yeah.
00:31:06And what are you going to sing?
00:31:07What do you sing?
00:31:08What's your genre?
00:31:09Honestly, I'm a really versatile artist,
00:31:11so I do a bit of everything.
00:31:12And so today, I don't have a song.
00:31:15Oh, what?
00:31:15Oh, whoa.
00:31:16I thought I'd leave the choice up to you guys.
00:31:19Oh.
00:31:19You want us to choose which song you audition with?
00:31:23Yeah.
00:31:23I didn't expect that.
00:31:25It's normally a bit of a red flag.
00:31:28When someone says,
00:31:29I can sing everything,
00:31:30that means they don't really know what they want to be.
00:31:32Yeah, it's true.
00:31:33But let's see what you got.
00:31:35Let's shout out some requests.
00:31:36Okay.
00:31:37Well, you go, you go.
00:31:39Okay, Whitney Houston,
00:31:42Saving All My Love.
00:31:43That's not even an easy song.
00:31:45Good luck.
00:31:55You want us to choose which song you audition with?
00:31:58Yeah.
00:31:58I didn't expect that.
00:32:00Normally, a bit of a red flag.
00:32:01When someone says,
00:32:04I can sing everything,
00:32:05that means they don't really know what they want to be.
00:32:07Yeah, it's true.
00:32:08The thing is,
00:32:09with Australian Idol,
00:32:11we need you to be your own artist.
00:32:15I'd like someone to come in and just know who they are.
00:32:17Yeah.
00:32:18You know, know what genre they are,
00:32:20and just know what artists they want to be.
00:32:23But let's see what you got.
00:32:24Let's shout out some requests.
00:32:26Okay.
00:32:26Well, you go, you go.
00:32:29Okay, Whitney Houston,

00:34:20Wow.

00:34:28Oh, gosh.
00:34:29Men at work, down under.

00:34:32You know what?
00:34:32That's gonna be fun.
00:34:33One.
00:34:34Go, Eva.
00:34:35Oh, she's doing another one.
00:34:48Oh, she's doing another one.
00:34:49How many strange ladies
00:34:51She made me nervous
00:34:53She took me in
00:34:55And then gave me breakfast
00:34:57Want to know what she said?
00:34:58Do you call from the land down under
00:35:01Well, when they glow
00:35:04And then plunder
00:35:06Can't you hear
00:35:08Can't you hear the thunder
00:35:10Mm, yeah
00:35:12You better run
00:35:14You better take over
00:35:15How good was that?
00:35:24Yeah.
00:35:24Intimidated?
00:35:26Yeah, I'm kind of a little bit lost for words.
00:35:32Wow.
00:35:33Okay.
00:35:33No more.
00:35:34No notes.
00:35:36It's a yes from me.
00:35:37But
00:35:38You need at least two yeses.
00:35:43What do you think, ladies?
00:35:45I
00:35:46I'm a bit
00:35:48Wary of people who are like
00:35:49I'm so versatile
00:35:50I can
00:35:51Do all genres
00:35:52Because I like someone to come in and go
00:35:54This is the artist I want to be
00:35:55And it scares me a little bit
00:35:57But like
00:35:58Um
00:35:59I don't know what to say
00:36:02You
00:36:02You're
00:36:03You're different
00:36:05I agree
00:36:06You brought every single genre there
00:36:09And you made it sound like Eva
00:36:11Thank you
00:36:12And it's crazy that you did that
00:36:14So
00:36:15It's gonna have to be a yes from me
00:36:17Sorry, I'm gonna cry
00:36:18That means so much
00:36:19Thank you
00:36:20Eva
00:36:20You've got a great sensibility about what licks to use
00:36:23What licks not to use
00:36:24What vocal gymnastics to use
00:36:26You know, I mean, I can't criticise you
00:36:28I don't want to criticise you
00:36:29I just want to say it's a yes from me
00:36:32Oh, three yeses
00:36:33Stop, thank you
00:36:35Okay, you little musical chameleon

00:37:28It was actually so big
00:37:29Thank you
00:37:30Yeah
00:37:31Thank you

00:38:40I love it, you know
00:38:41It's a really good industry
00:38:42And at the end of the day you're just out on property with mates

00:39:16Hey
00:39:17You know what you're saying
00:39:18I don't think you can say that on TV
00:39:19I think you can get this though
00:39:20You know what I like about you?
00:39:22You're real
00:39:23Yeah
00:39:24If someone had the word a bloke in the dictionary there'd be a picture of you there man
00:39:32Oh jeez
00:39:33You've got a lovely smile too and you're just so real which is lovely you know
00:39:36I mean I don't know if you can see it but that's what a sheep did to me the other day
00:39:41What did it do to you?
00:39:42Head butted me knocked a tooth out
00:39:43Knocked his tooth out
00:39:44Oh
00:39:45It's alright now there was a bit of blood
00:39:46Wasn't much pain
00:39:47My god I got a paper cut earlier and the whole ambulance service undercoming
00:39:50Oh yeah oh god
00:39:51I nearly cancelled the whole day filming
00:39:53It would be all on
00:39:55Like I said bloke, pale
00:39:58Different pages
00:40:00Okay so I'm guessing like a country vibe
00:40:03Yes I am playing a country song for you today
00:40:05Okay
00:40:06I'm playing Folsom Prison by Johnny Cash
00:40:08Oh I love that song
00:40:09Sweet
00:40:10Bro I'm ready Art
00:40:11Righto
00:40:12Let's see what you got
00:40:13Let's see what the Outback's throwing our way
00:40:14Righto
00:40:15Sounds good
00:40:26Oof
00:40:27I hear the train coming
00:40:29It's rolling round the bend
00:40:31And I ain't seen the sunshine since I don't know when
00:40:36I'm stuck in Folsom Prison
00:40:38And time keeps dragging on
00:40:41He's cold man
00:40:44When I hear that whistle humming
00:40:47On down the sand and toe
00:40:50When I was just a baby
00:40:55My mama told me son
00:40:57Always be a good boy
00:40:59Always be a good boy
00:41:00Don't you ever play with guns
00:41:02But I shot a man in Reno
00:41:04Just to watch you die
00:41:07When I hear that whistle blowing
00:41:12I hear that whistle blowing
00:41:14Hang my head and cry
00:41:17Now if they free me from this prison
00:41:22If the railway train was mine
00:41:25I bet I'm moving on a little further down the line
00:41:30Far from Folsom Prison
00:41:32That's where I'd want to stay
00:41:35And I'd let that lonesome whistle
00:41:41Blow my blues away
00:41:44I've found it very genuine, interesting to watch
00:41:57I would love to see someone like you
00:41:59On this year's Australian Idol
00:42:01Thank you
00:42:02Tooth or no tooth?
00:42:03Hopefully I can get one this week
00:42:05Hopefully I can get one this week.
00:42:08I like you, Art.
00:42:09I'm going to give you a big yes.
00:42:11I'd love you to get through.
00:42:13What do you think, Ames?
00:42:15I don't even know what to say.
00:42:16Sometimes when people go really loud,
00:42:19it shocks me because I wasn't expecting it.
00:42:22I think...
00:42:24I'm going to say it, you're very green,
00:42:26like, with this whole setting.
00:42:28And I think it would be risky.
00:42:32So just me personally, I'm just going to say no.
00:42:35Art, you need two yeses.
00:42:38What do you think, Marsha?
00:42:39Art, how do you think you went?
00:42:42I was a bit nervous.
00:42:46I don't have much thoughts.
00:42:48My heart's thumping like...
00:42:50It's thumping.
00:42:51This is a big stage to be on.
00:42:54Yes, it is.
00:42:55You know, your honesty and your work ethic
00:42:57means that if you get a chance to do this,
00:43:00I think you'd work even harder than you
00:43:02to know that you would work towards this.
00:43:04So, for me, it's a yes.
00:43:07Thank you, guys.
00:43:08Two yeses.
00:43:09That's all you need.
00:43:10Click, go the shears, boys.
00:43:12Click, click, click.
00:43:14You know that one?
00:43:15I know that one.
00:43:16Yes.
00:43:16Of course, because you're sheep, sheep bearer.
00:43:19Hey, Art, this is going to be pretty tough.
00:43:21Like, it's going to be a tough comp
00:43:22and we'll see you later in the day
00:43:23and maybe you'll take home a golden ticket.
00:43:25Thank you, guys.
00:43:25Nice work.
00:43:26Let Ricky Lee know what the good news is, my friend.
00:43:28See you soon.
00:43:29Whoa.
00:43:30That's exciting.
00:43:31There's not even a question.
00:43:33He's a cool character.
00:43:33Yeah.
00:43:35Coming up...
00:43:36Would you be game enough to audition
00:43:38in front of thousands of people at the air, though?
00:43:40The biggest audition in Idol history.
00:43:46And will a tongue-tied teen's audition...
00:43:49I don't put your hands up, man.
00:43:51Which was the scar?
00:43:52Can I restyle it?
00:43:53Make it up.
00:43:54End in triumph or tragedy?
00:43:58And later,
00:44:00who will get the first golden tickets
00:44:03to this year's top 30?
00:44:05The singer receiving the golden ticket
00:44:08is going to be...
00:44:10This is what...
00:44:27This is what my life is now.
00:44:30Sit down, Kyle.
00:44:31Are you finished eating all of the snacks
00:44:33that have been provided?
00:44:34Oh, my God.
00:44:34Here, look.
00:44:35I hid these.
00:44:36Take these.
00:44:36Go sit over there.
00:44:37I want to see you for five minutes.
00:44:38Sit.
00:44:39Go.
00:44:39Let's get it down.
00:44:43Who's excited for Idol?
00:44:44Yeah!
00:44:46So the judges got their pens.
00:44:48We gonna show them who is.
00:44:49Can't really X.
00:44:50None of us have too many factors in this.
00:44:52Get it?
00:44:52This ain't a Lil' Kitty talent show.
00:44:54Yo, this is Idol.
00:44:55We don't compromise on talent, doe.
00:44:56I got young divas chasing me.
00:44:58I feel like Rikki Lee.
00:44:59We're here to say my mom just iron out Scotty T.
00:45:02This is Idol 2026.
00:45:03The best to ever be
00:45:04because I'm hoping that an Idol is near.
00:45:06Let's get it.
00:45:06Woo!
00:45:07On the spot.
00:45:10Yeah!
00:45:11Oh, thank you.
00:45:13I'm Asha.
00:45:14I'm 16 and I'm from Brisbane.
00:45:20I'd love to be the first rapper to ever win Idol.
00:45:22I think it's about time.
00:45:24This is my at-home studio.
00:45:26I spend most of my time on music.
00:45:28So I worked at KFC for six months
00:45:31and I saved up everything I earned
00:45:33and then I used that money to buy all the equipment I needed for my home studio.
00:45:37I do everything myself.
00:45:39I'm a one-man band.
00:45:40I produced, I song-write, I produced, I song-write.
00:45:43Oh, that's actually a photo from my first performance ever.
00:45:46So I keep that up there to remember where I came from, you know.
00:45:49I perform and I write all my own raps.
00:45:54I love the performing aspect of it.
00:45:55That's one of my favourite things.
00:45:57When I'm up on that stage, I just get that adrenaline rush.
00:46:00It's amazing.
00:46:01You all look scared, but you look ready to go.
00:46:03I'm ready.
00:46:04I'm really nervous.
00:46:04You're really nervous?
00:46:05I'm really nervous for him.
00:46:06I think it's more because he's so chilled.
00:46:09But he's done the work, so.
00:46:10Yes.
00:46:11Very proud.
00:46:12We are really proud of Asha.
00:46:14He definitely loves being the centre of attention.
00:46:16Give a big hug.
00:46:17Yeah.
00:46:18All right.
00:46:18Let's go.
00:46:19So this is definitely for him.
00:46:21Good luck in there.
00:46:23I've worked so hard to get here.
00:46:25This is what I want to do.
00:46:27This is where I'm meant to be.
00:46:31Hello.
00:46:32Hi.
00:46:32Look at this.
00:46:34Hi.
00:46:35Hi.
00:46:35How are you guys?
00:46:36We're well, buddy.
00:46:36How are you?
00:46:37I'm good, thanks.
00:46:38What's your name?
00:46:38I'm Asha.
00:46:39I'm 16 and I'm from Brisbane.
00:46:41How are you feeling today?
00:46:42Excited.
00:46:43I'm so excited to be here.
00:46:44It's amazing.
00:46:45Okay, good.
00:46:45Well, you look the part.
00:46:46I like your style.
00:46:48Oh, thank you.
00:46:49What are you going to sing today?
00:46:50I'm going to be doing a bit of an original rap
00:46:52and then going into It's Tricky by Run DMC.
00:46:55Oh, man.
00:46:56I loved Run DMC.
00:46:58It's a classic.
00:46:59Classic.
00:47:00Take your time.
00:47:00Take when you're ready, Dan.
00:47:02DJ, hit that beat.
00:47:14Yo, Idle, put your hands up, man.
00:47:16Reach for the sky.
00:47:17Oh, man.
00:47:19Keep going.
00:47:22Pick it up.
00:47:22Pick it up.
00:47:26Can I restart, please?
00:47:27Sure, restart, please.
00:47:29Sorry, guys.
00:47:33He stopped studying again.
00:47:36Nose.
00:47:37Nose.
00:47:37You reckon?
00:47:38Yeah.

00:47:43All right, so Idle, put your hands up.
00:47:45Idle, put your hands up, man.
00:47:47Reach for the sky.
00:47:47All the people in Otis.
00:47:49Idle, put your hands up, man.
00:47:50Reach for the sky.
00:47:52Be dealing with the feeling.
00:47:53Can I tell you something?
00:47:55Yeah.

00:47:57but the first two words that you're going to say.
00:47:59Okay?
00:47:59All right.
00:48:00Just clear everything.
00:48:01Just blah.
00:48:02First two words and then go.
00:48:04And I bet you it'll be muscle memory.
00:48:06All right.
00:48:06If it's not,
00:48:08you're shit out of luck.
00:48:10Yeah.
00:48:13Just don't ever think it.
00:48:15All right.
00:48:16Let's do it.
00:48:21DJ, hit that beat.
00:48:29Yo, Idle, put your hands up, man.

00:48:31All the people in the ceiling,
00:48:33so we feeling alive.

00:48:54Looking real fly, yeah.
00:48:57Man, this is Ozzy Idol, baby.
00:48:59Put your hands up to the sky.
00:49:01Whoa.
00:49:03Y'all ready for this?
00:49:05This speech is my recital.
00:49:07I think it's very vital.
00:49:09To rock around, let's write on time.
00:49:11It's tricky.
00:49:12That's the tone.
00:49:13Here we go, man.
00:49:13It's tricky to rock around,
00:49:15to rock around, let's write on time.
00:49:17It's tricky.
00:49:18How is it?
00:49:19It's tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky.
00:49:21It's tricky to rock around,
00:49:22to rock around, let's write on time.
00:49:24He's back on track, he's back on track.
00:49:25He can relax.
00:49:26Tricky, tricky.
00:49:28No, I ain't lying.
00:49:29Girls be crying because I'm on TV.
00:49:32They even bother my forefather
00:49:34because he's down with me.
00:49:36Here we go, man.
00:49:36It's tricky to rock around,
00:49:38to rock around, let's write on time.
00:49:40It's tricky.
00:49:41Tr-tr-tricky, tricky, tricky, tricky.
00:49:44Whoa.
00:49:44Oh, that was actually not gone.
00:50:01I love that remix version
00:50:02where the words were just missing.
00:50:05I just, it just went blank.
00:50:07I wrote like three different versions of it,
00:50:09so my brain just like forgot the order of each part.
00:50:12Yeah, so you must your own brain with your own lyrics.
00:50:14Pretty much, yes.
00:50:15When you came in with Tricky,
00:50:17it was like you were all there,
00:50:20but I guess the whole idea of this audition
00:50:23is like to see your decision-making.
00:50:28Yes.
00:50:28He was just trying to impress us.
00:50:30I know, but like...
00:50:31It all just fell.
00:50:32It was like an Olympic runner
00:50:33and the shoelaces had forgotten to be put in.
00:50:36I know, but if we put you through,
00:50:38it's risky.
00:50:42It's live TV.
00:50:44Yes.
00:50:45You know, like, it's scary.
00:50:47It's like, it's full-on, man.
00:50:48Yeah.
00:50:50You've got to be better.
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:54So just me personally,
00:50:55I'm just going to say no.
00:50:57I've seen worse performances
00:51:01that I've paid to see at a hip-hop show.
00:51:05You, I actually quite enjoyed.
00:51:07Someone that I can play on the radio.
00:51:09You've got this sound
00:51:10and this sort of energy that I liked.
00:51:12And sometimes I can forgive some of these little fluff-ups.
00:51:16There's a lot of fluff-ups.
00:51:18Yeah.
00:51:18But I will give you a yes.
00:51:23You need two out of three to move forward.
00:51:27So, you know, Asha, I know that, um...
00:51:43What do you think?
00:51:49Yes or no?
00:51:53You know...
00:51:54Unfortunately, it's a no from me,
00:52:02but I'm being very honest with you.
00:52:07I'm not saying never, okay?
00:52:10I'm saying right now.
00:52:11Today.
00:52:12So you can walk away with a yes
00:52:18and just know that it's a crappy day
00:52:21and get up tomorrow and keep going.
00:52:25That's all you can do.
00:52:27Just keep going.
00:52:29Thank you, Asha.
00:52:31Thank you, mate.
00:52:32Don't beat yourself up.
00:52:34No, please.
00:52:34I forgot all the lyrics on the first part.
00:52:45Oh, no.
00:52:47Oh, no.
00:52:48You all right?
00:52:48Yeah.
00:52:49OK?
00:52:49Yeah.
00:52:51So where was it left?
00:52:53What did they say?
00:52:55They just said to keep going with it
00:52:56because there's something there.
00:52:58But today wasn't my day for that.
00:53:01Bye.
00:53:02OK, thank you.
00:53:02Thanks for that.
00:53:03I think it was more than just not his day.
00:53:08More than not his day.
00:53:09Just, I would simplify the shit out of it.
00:53:11Next, please.
00:53:14Next.
00:53:15This is the biggest audition idol
00:53:19has ever done in the world.
00:53:23And then the country cowgirl
00:53:26and the musical chameleon
00:53:27face their moment of truth.
00:53:30This is a tough business, guys.
00:53:31Not everyone gets to live their dreams.
00:53:40Every year, our judges spread their net far.
00:53:43But this year...
00:53:45Oh, I hope you know
00:53:46I will carry you home
00:53:49Whether it's tonight
00:53:51or 55 years down the road
00:53:53They'll go to the most extreme places
00:53:56Australia has on offer
00:53:58I give life a go
00:53:59I give life a go
00:53:59To find
00:54:04The next Australian Idol
00:54:09We are filming Australian Idol
00:54:11Does anyone sing?
00:54:12Coast to coast, we'll go there
00:54:14Our job is to search for the greatest talent

00:54:25or a tiny town
00:54:27I hope you know
00:54:29I will carry you home
00:54:31That's the magic
00:54:35of hitting the road
00:54:36I cannot wait
00:54:39Marsha's first road trip of the year
00:54:48kicks off with a bang
00:54:49Hello, Melbourne
00:54:51Love this city
00:54:53I've seen a young guy on TikTok
00:55:06who's getting thousands of followers
00:55:08I want to meet him
00:55:09and see if he's got what it takes
00:55:12He's really good at singing to his followers
00:55:17He's got thousands of them
00:55:18But it's going to be interesting to see how he fears doing
00:55:22what we're going to ask him to do today
00:55:24I'm Matt, I'm 17 and I'm from Melbourne
00:55:30I play a lot of sport
00:55:32I do football and basketball
00:55:34but I think music is like what I truly love
00:55:37So what I'm planning to do today
00:55:41is I'm going to actually audition Matt
00:55:43but the bottom line is
00:55:45this is no ordinary audition
00:55:47I believe this is going to be
00:55:51the biggest audition idol has ever seen
00:55:53We're looking for more than just a singer
00:56:02We're looking for somebody who really wants to be
00:56:06a performer in their own right
00:56:07Someone's coming

00:57:51We just breathe
00:57:53It doesn't feel real at all
00:57:57You have to be so composed
00:58:02And realise this is your moment

00:58:06The Sauron will beat the Dockers

01:00:43Now in the morning I'd sleep alone
01:00:47Sweep the streets I used to own
01:00:50One minute I held the key
01:00:54Next the walls were closed on me
01:00:58And I discovered that my castle stands
01:01:02Upon pillars of salt
01:01:04Pillars of sand
01:01:06I hear Jerusalem bells ringing
01:01:10Roman cavalry cries
01:01:13Me, my mirror, my sword
01:01:16My shield
01:01:18Missionaries in a foreign field
01:01:21For some reason I can't explain
01:01:25Once you were gone
01:01:27And it was never
01:01:28Never was an honest word
01:01:31But that was when I ruled the world

01:02:33I think because I was a bit nervous
01:02:38Some of the top notes
01:02:39I didn't sing as confidently
01:02:40It was what I usually do
01:02:41Whatever decision she makes
01:02:43Is the right one
01:02:45If it's a no
