00:11:14I'm over my head
00:11:16I'm out of my mind
00:11:17Thinking I was born
00:11:18In the wrong time
00:11:19It's love on rewind

00:11:30Luke
00:11:31You don't have like the best singing voice
00:11:35Yeah
00:11:36And there wasn't much melody even in the rap
00:11:38I mean we should probably have told Jess this
00:11:41The level is already very high
00:11:42It's pretty
00:11:43Yeah the bar's been set
00:11:44Yeah yeah
00:11:45For me it's gonna be a no
00:11:46Easy
00:11:47Easy
00:11:48Luke the energy you brought in is very positive
00:11:50And we thank you for that
00:11:51But it's a no from me
00:11:53The hardest thing for me
00:11:55About being a judge
00:11:57Is that
00:11:58I have to learn to say no
00:12:00I
00:12:01That's not in my DNA
00:12:03I thought of your body
00:12:05I came alive
00:12:08But I woke up
00:12:10Every time
00:12:14Oh baby
00:12:18Um
00:12:19I think you had the desire and the passion
00:12:24Yeah
00:12:25Um
00:12:26You were really great in the chorus
00:12:27And then you just slightly lost um
00:12:29Pitch
00:12:30Um
00:12:31Um
00:12:32Mmm
00:12:33Mmm
00:12:34I'm a genie and a bottle

00:12:53Big decision Jess
00:12:54Yeah
00:12:55You were better than
00:12:56Others
00:12:57But I think there's um
00:13:00You know
00:13:01Jess has the voice of an angel
00:13:03And the heart to match
00:13:04Coming out here is so brave
00:13:06But when it comes
00:13:07To Jess saying no to someone
00:13:09She sucks
00:13:11Thank you so much for showing up today
00:13:13And um

00:18:17But so were you, Jess was 16 when she first auditioned.
00:18:21Oh, okay.
00:18:22She was only 16.
00:18:23Well, this is what I want to talk to you ladies about.

00:18:38Is he too young?
00:18:43No.
00:18:45You know, people say, oh, people are too young to do this.
00:18:48People, this is your calling, my brother.
00:18:52I came here at 16 without my mother.
00:18:55I came from Boston to here because I knew what it was I wanted to do and my parents trusted me as I'm sure your parents trust you.
00:19:04Yes.
00:19:05That's for sure.
00:19:06So, without further ado, it's a yes from me.

00:19:42Let's.
00:19:43Give me footsteps.
00:19:45We got footsteps.
00:19:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:48Yes.
00:19:50Yes.
00:19:51Yes.
00:19:57Hi.
00:19:58Honestly.
00:19:58Who is this guy?
00:20:00How are you?
00:20:01Who is this guy?
00:20:03Three yeses.
00:20:04I'm so excited.
00:20:05I'm so relieved.
00:20:06But I was so nervous just while speaking, so nervous.
00:20:11And then when I played, it just all went away.
00:20:15And I managed to play well.
00:20:17Jess, you're our lucky little star here.
00:20:18Yeah, you're good.
00:20:18It's always the end of you.
00:20:20Oh, honestly.
00:20:21Thank you for having me here.
00:20:22It's good having a chick up here.
00:20:24Oh, yeah.
00:20:25It's very nice.
00:20:26Oh, nice.
00:20:27Coming up, Jess gets put to the test by the full range of talent on offer.
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36I'm ready for this.
00:20:38I hope you like it.
00:20:40A cheeky cowboy gets the judges' hearts racing.
00:20:44Band of me.
00:20:45Band of me.
00:20:46Yee-haw.
00:20:48And Marsha puts Jess on the spot.
00:20:51Come on, Jess.
00:20:53You gotta say yes.
00:20:54Come on.
00:20:55Just say yes, Jess.
00:20:57I can hear the potential in your voice.
00:20:59But I'm going out finally.
00:21:01Coming from a small town like Darwin, I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could
00:21:25do this, but my audition changed my life forever.
00:21:28I really believe that it doesn't matter where you come from.
00:21:35If you have talent, Idle will unearth that.
00:21:39And if you don't try, you will never know.
00:21:48Australian order, baby.
00:21:49Here we go.
00:21:51It is an immaculate day here.
00:21:53Look at all these people.
00:21:54Lawn it up.
00:21:55We're going to have a mad day.
00:21:57And we're going to rock some judges, aren't we?
00:21:58It's going to be absolutely...
00:21:59Oh, not you.
00:21:59I am.
00:22:00I'll support you.
00:22:01We're going to have an amazing time.
00:22:03I'm Vince.
00:22:04I'm 25.
00:22:05I'm from Hawkesbury.
00:22:06Have you ever been calling a larrikin before?
00:22:08Yeah.
00:22:09A lot.
00:22:12Very down to earth.
00:22:15We're then also a bit crazy sometimes.
00:22:20Can't believe this guy's going on Australian Idol.
00:22:23Mate.
00:22:23Crazy, isn't it?
00:22:24Cheers.
00:22:24Ah, it's all happening.
00:22:28You're going to win?
00:22:29Oh, hopefully.
00:22:30Bloody hope, I can win Australian Idol.
00:22:33I've always dreamed of being a country artist.
00:22:37If I could, I would never get off the stage.
00:22:40I'm moving constantly up there.
00:22:42If I don't have a microphone that's connected to a cord,
00:22:44and it's cordless, I'm everywhere.
00:22:46Australian Idol would be the next step for me.
00:22:51I really want to make this a full-time gig,
00:22:53and I think it'd just be amazing.
00:23:01Hi.
00:23:01Oh, hello.
00:23:02Yee-haw.
00:23:03Hello there.
00:23:03Howdy, howdy.
00:23:05How are you?
00:23:06Good.
00:23:06How are you?
00:23:07I'm very well.
00:23:08Very well, thank you.
00:23:09Yeah.
00:23:09What's your name?
00:23:10Where are you from?
00:23:11Tell me everything.
00:23:11My name's Vince Phillips.
00:23:13I'm 25 years old, and I'm from the Hawkesbury, New South Wales.
00:23:15Oh, I'm excited.
00:23:17We are ready.
00:23:18Are you ready?
00:23:19Better country didn't hurt.
00:23:20100% it didn't.
00:23:22Is it country?
00:23:22It's a country?
00:23:23100%.
00:23:23What are you, sorry, what?
00:23:25Remind me, what are you singing?
00:23:28I'm singing Billie Rae Cyrus, Achy Breaky Heart.
00:23:31Oh, you better sing.
00:23:32Yeah.
00:23:33Look, honestly, I'm a country girl at heart.
00:23:36Good.
00:23:36I grew up singing country.
00:23:38I have evidence, because my mother,
00:23:41my mother sent me a photo the other day,
00:23:44and it is hilarious.
00:23:45Here it is.
00:23:46Look at me.
00:23:47Look at me with my country attire on.
00:23:50That's great.
00:23:50With my dad.
00:23:51Oh, my God.
00:23:52And I'm about to go and sing country music.
00:23:54That's great.
00:23:55We love to hear it.
00:23:56So I'm with you.
00:23:56You have my support.
00:23:58I'm ready for this.
00:23:59All right.
00:24:00Let's Achy Break the Heart.
00:24:02We will.
00:24:02Achy Break my heart.
00:24:04Oh.
00:24:04I'm kidding.
00:24:05I'm sorry.
00:24:07Stop it.
00:24:07I usually have to do this to Marsha.
00:24:08Stop it.
00:24:09Stop it.
00:24:10Fan me.
00:24:11Fan me.
00:24:11Stop it.
00:24:12All right, Vince.
00:24:15Let's do this.
00:24:16Let's do this.
00:24:16You can tell the world, you never was my girl.
00:24:25You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone.
00:24:29Or you can tell your friends, it's what a fool I've been.
00:24:33And laugh and joke about me on the phone.
00:24:37You can tell my arms go back to the phone.
00:24:40You can tell my feet will hit the floor.
00:24:44Or you can tell my lips, tell my fingertips.
00:24:48It won't be reaching out for you no more.
00:24:51Hey.
00:24:52But don't tell my heart, my achy breaking heart.
00:24:55Oh, the hippie pimps.
00:24:57Yeah.
00:24:57It's the only thing they don't understand.
00:25:00And if you tell my heart, my achy breaking heart.
00:25:03Can I blow up and kill this man?
00:25:07Woo.
00:25:07You can tell your mom, I moved to Arkansas.
00:25:12You can tell your dog about my life.
00:25:14We'll learn it.
00:25:15I'll tell your brother Phil, cause this can tear my hair.
00:25:19He never really liked me anyway.
00:25:22Come on, together now.
00:25:23Don't tell my heart, my achy breaking heart.
00:25:27I just don't think he'd understand it.
00:25:30And if you tell my heart, my achy breaking heart.
00:25:35If I blow up and kill this man.
00:25:40Woo.
00:25:40Woo.
00:25:42Whoa.
00:25:46Yes.
00:25:47Yee-haw.
00:25:48Yee-haw.
00:25:50Okay.
00:25:50I love those moves that you got there.
00:25:53A little side to side step.
00:25:55That song just made me want to get up and line dance.
00:25:58Yeah.
00:25:58You line dance?
00:25:59I love line dance.
00:26:01Show me, prove it.
00:26:02You need to know it now.
00:26:03All right.
00:26:03Do you want to see some line dance?
00:26:04Are you sure?
00:26:05100%.
00:26:05I want to see some line dancing.
00:26:07Come on.
00:26:08Play the track.
00:26:09Oh, here we go.
00:26:10Come on.
00:26:10Oh, damn.
00:26:11You ready?
00:26:13You ready?
00:26:13Take me.
00:26:15It's a male boy takeover here.
00:26:18Oh, are we going back?
00:26:20Oh, my God.
00:26:21She does.
00:26:22She's doing it in heels, guys.
00:26:25Woo.
00:26:26Let's do line dance, everyone.
00:26:27Woo.
00:26:27Oh, this is amazing.
00:26:31Yes.
00:26:33Oh, my God.
00:26:34Hold on.
00:26:35Stop.
00:26:36Stop.
00:26:37Oh, thank you.
00:26:38Oh, thank you.
00:26:39Yes, Jess.
00:26:39Yes, Jess.
00:26:40Stop.
00:26:41So, judging time.
00:26:44Judging time.
00:26:45Yes.
00:26:45Serious time.
00:26:46The vocals, Vince.
00:26:48Mm-hmm.
00:26:50They're not strong.
00:26:52Mm-hmm.
00:26:52But this show isn't just about the voice.
00:26:56This is about the entire package.
00:26:58And you have a style.
00:27:01You've got a cracking personality.
00:27:04You have an energy that has got star-like qualities.
00:27:09And that's what we're trying to find, is someone who people will connect with.
00:27:13Yeah.
00:27:13I think more importantly, like, you raised energy.
00:27:16All three of us had a big smile.
00:27:18Yeah.
00:27:19On our face.
00:27:20Oh, it means a lot.
00:27:21Marsha, you're very quiet.
00:27:23I am, because I don't want you to get lost in the shuffle.
00:27:26Mm-hmm.
00:27:26And for me, you know, I want to hear a voice.
00:27:29Your voice was okay, Vince.
00:27:30It wasn't bad.
00:27:32But really, for me, it wasn't strong enough.
00:27:34You know what I mean?
00:27:35Yeah, but he brings something else.
00:27:38It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:27:41And I'll leave it to you, girl.
00:27:42No.
00:27:43It's all yours.
00:27:44No, no, no.
00:27:45Don't leave us, Marsha.
00:27:46Don't leave us.
00:27:46Don't leave us.
00:27:47You're on your own.
00:27:48I think it was, like, a fun song choice.
00:27:51But it probably wasn't the best song to play to us,
00:27:58because it didn't showcase your voice.
00:28:01Correct.
00:28:03But I think you had the potential to, you know, work and fight.
00:28:09I do.
00:28:09You know?
00:28:10So it's a yes from me.
00:28:12And if you don't work and fight, you just get booted off.
00:28:15That's it.
00:28:16That's right.
00:28:16It's a yes from me.
00:28:17Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:18You're welcome.
00:28:18So well done.
00:28:19And we'll see you later on today,
00:28:20and maybe you'll take home a golden ticket.
00:28:22Maybe.
00:28:23Nice work, Vince.
00:28:23Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:24We'll see you later on.
00:28:25See you later.
00:28:26Bye.
00:28:27Yee-haw.
00:28:28Thanks for the dance.
00:28:32Well done.
00:28:34He doesn't look like he's got an achy, breaky heart.
00:28:38How you going, guys?
00:28:40It means so much to me to get a golden ticket,
00:28:42like, just that next step.
00:28:44Nice to meet you, mate.
00:28:45One step closer.
00:28:46It's being out there and getting me out there
00:28:48and doing what I love.
00:28:49How are we?
00:28:49How are you feeling?
00:28:51Oh, good.
00:28:52Very good.
00:28:52Yeah.
00:28:53That was incredible.
00:28:54Oh.
00:28:55Bit of fun, ladies, eh?
00:28:56Bit of fun.
00:28:57Bit of fun.
00:28:57Bit of fun.
00:28:58Come on.
00:28:58It'll be a drag.
00:28:59Bit of fun.
00:29:00Never hurt anyone.
00:29:03Coming up,
00:29:05he's a pest controller by day
00:29:07and a crooner by night.
00:29:09I'll do the old retirement home here and there.
00:29:11Oh, they'd love you.
00:29:12A few undies here and there.
00:29:13Oh, yes.
00:29:15Yeah, they're not panties.
00:29:18They're a panties.
00:29:19Yes.
00:29:20And can a young YouTube star...
00:29:248.7 million subscribers...
00:29:26Whoa!
00:29:27...take the next step in her musical career?
00:29:30I'll tell you what I didn't like first.
00:29:32Plus...
00:29:33I'm on the list.
00:29:35That's all I need.
00:29:37Can I ask what's going through your mind right now?
00:29:40All right, girls.
00:29:57I think it's time for a selfie.
00:29:58Oh, yes.
00:29:59Be nice.
00:29:59Let's do it.
00:30:00I'll send it to you.
00:30:00I'll tell you what.
00:30:01Let's do it and send it to Kyle.

00:30:28Well, I am Olivia C.
00:30:30You're the best of the best.
00:30:31Yeah, I'm cram, dad, cram.
00:30:33About a year or so ago, and I was just like,
00:30:35you know, I'm Olivia C.
00:30:37And it was just like this instant.
00:30:40I was just like, that's who I am.
00:30:41One, two, three, four, five, four, three, two, one.
00:30:47I work at this six days a week.
00:30:49Like, my craft.
00:30:50I'm a jazz dancer, and I write music, and I sing.
00:30:54I've been working on this for so long, and you know what?
00:30:57We got this, sister.
00:30:58Let's go.
00:30:59Ooh, let's go.

00:31:12Yes, fabulous.
00:31:13Hello, I'm Olivia C.
00:31:15You look gorgeous.
00:31:17Olivia?
00:31:18Yeah, so it's Olivia, but I'm...
00:31:20Olivia C is my artistic name.
00:31:21Oh, Olivia C.
00:31:23Olivia C, darling.
00:31:24Olivia C, you have an incredible energy,
00:31:27and you have the cutest laugh.
00:31:30So what are you going to sing today?
00:31:32I'm singing Edge of Glory.
00:31:34Amazing.
00:31:35I've popped some curry to it,
00:31:37so I hope that you like it.
00:31:40Now, the issue is, am I able to do this just...
00:31:43You can do it.
00:31:43Whatever you like.
00:31:44Use the floor.
00:31:45Okay.
00:31:46All right.
00:31:47Well, we might have to start here then.
00:31:50Yeah.
00:31:50Okay.
00:31:51All right.
00:31:52Yes, I'm ready for this.
00:31:54I hope you like it.
00:31:57Okay.
00:32:06There ain't a reason you and me should be alone tonight.
00:32:10Yeah, baby, tonight.
00:32:12Yeah, baby.
00:32:13But I got a reason that you should take me home tonight.
00:32:17I need a man that thinks is right when it's so wrong tonight.
00:32:25Yeah, baby.
00:32:26Tonight.
00:32:27Yeah, baby.
00:32:29Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight.
00:32:32It's hard to feel the rush, to push the danger rush.
00:32:42I'm gonna run right to turn the edge with you, where we can both fall for real life.
00:32:50I'm on the edge, for glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:33:04I'm on the edge, for the edge, for glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:33:21I'm on the edge with you.
00:33:26Yes.
00:33:27Well, look at you.
00:33:30How'd that feel?
00:33:32Good.
00:33:32She's got a voice.
00:33:34Yes.
00:33:35And it's arrived.
00:33:40Oh, God.
00:33:41Where do I begin?
00:33:43I'm exhausted by that.
00:33:46That's a lot of it.
00:33:47She's full on.
00:33:48She's full on.
00:33:49Did she choreograph that herself?
00:33:51Did she choreograph that herself?
00:33:52I did, yes.
00:33:53Yes, honey, you did.
00:33:55Do you do much theatre?
00:33:58Have you done any performances in theatre?
00:34:00Yes, like a little bit.
00:34:01I've got a sense of that, that that's your kind of domain, and that's where you're coming from.
00:34:06I think it's just because you're so theatrical.
00:34:09It would almost be a shame if you didn't do it.
00:34:13But, unfortunately, it's gonna be a no from me.
00:34:17Okay.
00:34:18It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:34:21Sadly, Olivia, it's a no from me.
00:34:24Thank you, Livy.
00:34:25Okay, thank you for your time, Mia.
00:34:27No worries.
00:34:28Have a great day.
00:34:28All right.
00:34:29Bye-bye.
00:34:29Thank you so much.
00:34:36So much to unpack there.
00:34:39But we don't have time.
00:34:39Next!
00:34:40To be the next Australian Idol, you need the perfect blend of vocals and vibe.
00:34:49Yes, determination walk.
00:34:51I love it.
00:34:52That was a strut.
00:34:53How we doing?
00:34:54Good.
00:34:54How are you?
00:34:55Amazing.
00:34:55This is the best day of my life.
00:34:57You look like you've got the vibe.
00:34:59If you don't want to see me dancing with somebody, if you want to believe that anything can stop me.
00:35:12You've got a cool vibe.
00:35:14It's not like it was bad, but it's not going to reach the level of talent that we're looking for this year, I'm afraid.
00:35:21For me, it's a no, but I thank you.
00:35:22Oh, he's a working class man.
00:35:26Oh, Jesus.
00:35:29He ain't worried about tomorrow.
00:35:32Cause he just made up his mind.
00:35:36Life's too short for burning bridges.
00:35:40Take one day at a time.
00:35:44Oh, he's a working class man.
00:35:49Yes! Luke, you are born for musical theatre.
00:35:59Thank you so much.
00:36:00Yeah. Unfortunately, it's going to be a no from me
00:36:03just because we sort of need a different sort of vibe, you know?
00:36:08Nice to see you.
00:36:09My name's James.
00:36:10Hi, James.
00:36:11I'm 32 and I'm here to do some Sinatra today.
00:36:13Oh, I love Sinatra.
00:36:15What do you do otherwise?
00:36:16I'm a pest control by day, jazz singer by night.
00:36:19Okay.
00:36:20He must have got rid of Kyle.
00:36:26I'm your termite guy, your spider guy, cockroach guy, bed bug guy, everything else guy.
00:36:33I like pest control, but it's not my passion.
00:36:37Music is what I'm all about.
00:36:39I always wanted to be like a rock singer growing up,
00:36:42but my grandma said to me, she's like,
00:36:44James, I think you'd be a really good boobly.
00:36:48Do you do gigs?
00:36:49I do the old retirement home here and there.
00:36:51So I've got a little jazz band back home.
00:36:54Yeah, a few undies here and there.
00:36:56Oh, yes.
00:36:58Nothing to add your name.
00:37:00Yeah, they're not panties, they're undies.
00:37:03Yes.
00:37:04There's different names.
00:37:06Okay, so you look the part.
00:37:10I feel like you've got, you know, your style.
00:37:12Are we ready, ladies?
00:37:13Want to get into this?
00:37:14Yeah, we're here for you.
00:37:15All right, I'm excited.

00:37:42So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me.
00:37:47I've got you under my skin.
00:37:55I'd sacrifice anything, come what might, for the sake of having you near.
00:38:02In spite of that warning voice that comes in the night and repeats, screams in my ear.
00:38:09Don't you know, you fool, you never can win.
00:38:13Use your mentality, wake up to reality.
00:38:21But each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin.
00:38:28Because I've got you under my skin.

00:45:13No, okay.
00:45:14All right, so breathe, you know.
00:45:16Take a couple breaths.
00:45:18You know, I like the innocence of your voice.
00:45:22It's a very pretty voice.
00:45:24You know, how did that performance make you feel?
00:45:27I know that I have a lot to prove,
00:45:29and I know that I can challenge myself more with bigger songs.
00:45:33Okay.
00:45:36I'll tell you what I didn't like first.
00:45:41I sort of felt like I was watching a kid's program for a second there.
00:45:47What I did like is you've got a great voice,
00:45:51especially when you let it rip,
00:45:53and you know how to play that thing.
00:45:54You understand dynamics.
00:45:55So there's a lot to like.
00:45:57But I'm also confused.
00:45:59Okay.
00:45:59I understand.
00:46:00So I'm just going to hear out the girls.
00:46:03Yes.
00:46:04I can hear the potential in your voice.
00:46:07It's so hard, I guess,
00:46:08when you're trying to break away from something really amazing,
00:46:12and I can see you're on that path and that you're on that road.
00:46:14And my feeling and my instincts are saying,
00:46:17I want to put you through.
00:46:19And I'm going to say a yes.
00:46:25What do you think?
00:46:26What's in your gut right now?
00:46:27Well, I feel I feel I really liked your performance.
00:46:32I really appreciate it.
00:46:32What I really liked was the sincerity.
00:46:36I knew that what you just did meant a lot to you.
00:46:41So for me, it's a yes.
00:46:44You don't even need me.
00:46:47We'll see you later on.
00:46:48Thank you very much for your time.
00:46:50Thanks, Ava.
00:46:50I appreciate it.

00:48:21In the night, sleep bright, sleep on
00:48:28You even got it, or you don't
00:48:32You even stand, or you fall
00:48:36When your will is broken
00:48:40When it slips from your hands
00:48:44When there's no time for choking
00:48:48There's a flow in the plane
00:48:53No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
00:49:01No, you don't mean nothing at all to me

00:55:45I didn't think you'd understand me
00:55:50How could you ever even try?
00:56:00Cause I don't wanna tiptoe but I don't wanna hide
00:56:07But I don't wanna be this monstrous but I just wanna let this story die and I'll be alright
00:56:18We can't be friends
00:56:21But I'd like to just pretend
00:56:25You cling to your papers and bands
00:56:29Wait until you like me again
00:56:33Wait for your love
00:56:36My love
00:56:38Wait for your love

00:56:59Here's Jack everyone
00:57:00Well you done done me and you bet I felt it
00:57:06I tried to beat you but you so hot that I melted

00:57:13And now I'm trying to get back
00:57:16Before the cool done run out
00:57:18I'll be giving you my best diss and nothing's gonna stop me
00:57:22But divine intervention
00:57:24I reckon it's again my turn
00:57:27To win some or learn some
00:57:31But I won't hesitate

00:58:01You both look fantastic
00:58:02I want someone I can play on the radio
00:58:04Both of you have shown me songs today
00:58:06That I can hear me playing and introducing
00:58:09I can see a spot for both of you on the show
00:58:13But I can only bring one
00:58:15That's the unfortunate part
00:58:22Jack
00:58:24I'm so sorry
00:58:25But it's not going to be you today
00:58:27Thank you

00:58:34That leaves you

00:58:43Is this your husband?
00:58:45My baby marries me
00:58:47This is your man?
00:58:48Yes
00:58:49I'm taking you to Idol headquarters
00:58:50Are you really?
00:58:51I'm taking you to Idol darling
00:58:53You'll be well looked after
00:58:54Don't worry
00:58:55There's a double bed
00:58:56So you can bring your fella
00:58:57I do feel some pressure
00:58:58Meeting the other judges
00:58:59I idolise them as well
00:59:01See you at Idol headquarters
00:59:03Gentlemen
00:59:04Thank you
00:59:05Take good care of her
00:59:06I really hope that they love my music
00:59:08And I hope that they can see
00:59:09What potential I have
00:59:15Coming up
00:59:17Will Samela's
00:59:18Or Katie Lee's
00:59:19Top 30 dreams
00:59:20Come true?
00:59:22The singer
00:59:23Receiving the golden ticket
00:59:25Is going to be
00:59:26Week one of auditions
00:59:27Saw the judges award nine golden tickets to the hottest fresh talent in the competition's history
00:59:45Yes
00:59:46What you get is what you see
00:59:48There ain't nothing more to it
00:59:49That was incredible
00:59:50Thank you
00:59:51You're exciting
00:59:52I don't know what I'm crying for
00:59:53I don't think I could love you more
00:59:55Charlie, that was beautiful
01:00:09You sang that with so much real emotion
01:00:11I'm blown away by you
01:00:12And now Jess, Marsha and Amy have the difficult decision to make
01:00:22Who will join them in the top 30?
01:00:26It's been a baptism of fire for special guest judge Jess Malboy
01:00:36But she's helped to unearth seven potential idols
01:00:40Guys
01:00:41I just want to say
01:00:42It has been so amazing
01:00:43Being with you both
01:00:44Oh my god
01:00:45Have the best day with you
01:00:46Yes we have
01:00:47We have some singers
01:00:48Yeah
01:00:49She was interesting
01:00:50Great spirit
01:00:52But this boy
01:00:53Oh
01:00:54I can't get over him
01:00:55Young man
01:00:56He survived
01:00:57Kyle's found this girl
01:00:58That he's auditioned
01:00:59In Canberra
01:01:00I mean we've got a really really tough few decisions to make
01:01:13We do
01:01:14You think some of our singers are starting to question if they've done enough?
01:01:17Yeah I feel like the reality is really starting to sink in for these guys now
01:01:22This is full on
01:01:24This is the most crazy experience in the world
01:01:27I'm a little bit worried
01:01:28The competition feels absolutely real
01:01:30And the standard is so high
01:01:32Bring them in
01:01:34Up first to find out their fate are two teenage dynamos
01:01:39Tayo and Ava
01:01:41And Adelaide's crooner James
01:01:44Cause I've got you
01:01:47Under my skin
01:01:50Just take your turn
01:01:53You are my treasure
01:01:55You are my treasure
01:01:57Yeah you
01:01:58You
01:01:59You
01:02:00You
01:02:01You
01:02:02You
01:02:03I'm feeling
01:02:04Pretty nervous
01:02:05I think Ava is a really big competition
01:02:07Especially for me cause we're similar ages
01:02:09I hope I've done enough for the golden ticket
01:02:12I'm crossing my fingers
01:02:14There's so much more that I want to prove
01:02:17To be deserving of this spot
01:02:19I cannot wait to show myself as a solo artist
01:02:24My real passion is obviously music
01:02:26I always dreamed of having my name in lights
01:02:28And I think it's time for me to shine
01:02:30It's time
01:02:32Good luck you guys
01:02:34Hey hey
01:02:42What a line up

01:02:56And Ava
01:02:5717 year old kids entertainer
01:02:59Ready to take on the world as a solo artist
01:03:02So this was really hard because even though you're all different
01:03:09The performances were so good
01:03:13It made it really really difficult
01:03:16We're going to have to say goodbye to one of you
01:03:19Just straight up
01:03:21For one of you the nerves kind of took over
01:03:25Which is such a drag
01:03:27I'm sorry to say that that person is going to be
01:03:41James
01:03:42I'm really sorry buddy
01:03:43Please keep going with everything
01:03:45Yeah
