00:00:00From around Australia, thousands auditioned, but only three remain.
00:00:06Gisella from WA, Marshall Hamburger from Queensland, and Iris from Coltan in New South Wales.
00:00:12Tonight, you will crown the winner. Welcome to the Live Idol Grand Finale.
00:00:19It feels like forever ago, I didn't think I'd get through that day.
00:00:24I was like an out-of-body experience.
00:00:27A minute ago, I was at school, and now I'm in the grand finale of Australian Idol.
00:00:32It definitely doesn't feel real at all.
00:00:36I never thought Little On Me would make it this far.
00:00:40Crazy.
00:00:43I am unwritten, carry my mind, I'm undefined.
00:00:51I'm just thinking, pens in my head, ending unplanned.
00:00:58I'm staring at the flame haste before you, open up the dirty window.
00:01:07When you take for something in the distance, so close you almost taste it.
00:01:12Feel the rain on your skin.
00:01:17No one else can feel it for you.
00:01:19Only you can let it in.
00:01:21No one else, no one else can speak a word from your lips.
00:01:25Trench yourself in words unspoken.
00:01:27Leave your life with thoughts right open.
00:01:29Today is where your book begins.
00:01:31The rest is still unwritten.
00:01:42I break tradition.
00:01:44Sometimes my choice.
00:01:46But it's like the lies, yeah.
00:01:50We've been conditioned to not beg your space.
00:01:54But I can't live that way, yeah.
00:01:57Stay at the blank space before you.
00:02:00Open up the dirty window.
00:02:02When you start to illuminate the way that you cannot find.
00:02:06Genders put something in the distance.
00:02:08So close you can almost taste it.
00:02:10Release your inhibition.
00:02:12Hear the rain on your skin.
00:02:14No one else can feel it for you.
00:02:16Only you can let it in.
00:02:18Trench yourself in words unspoken.
00:02:23Live your life with thoughts right open.
00:02:27Today is where your book begins.
00:02:28The rest is still unwritten.
00:02:30No one else can feel it for you.
00:02:32Only you can let it in.
00:02:34No one else, no one else can speak a word on your lips.
00:02:38Trench yourself in words unspoken.
00:02:40Live your life with thoughts right open.
00:02:42Today is where your book begins.
00:02:45The rest is still unwritten.

00:06:33Watching from Perth in WA
00:06:36Look at them all
00:06:37Hi guys
00:06:38Amazing
00:06:41All right
00:06:42Well, as they get ready to perform
00:06:43It's great to have all this hometown support
00:06:46And it just highlights how far our idols have come
00:06:49Absolutely
00:06:50Three very different artists
00:06:52From three different states of Australia
00:06:55Well, our first grand finalist to take to the stage
00:06:59Was born with a natural talent
00:07:01Just a young girl with a big voice
00:07:04Well beyond her years
00:07:06Australia
00:07:06This is Gisela
00:07:08Before I was singing, I was a dancer
00:07:16And I remember my dance class at school
00:07:19And I start singing the song
00:07:21And I used to get into trouble
00:07:22Because I wasn't meant to be singing
00:07:24My friends are like
00:07:25Do you know you sing when you dance?
00:07:27And I'm like
00:07:27Really?
00:07:29Yeah
00:07:30Gisela was definitely the child
00:07:33That didn't give us the choice
00:07:35You were getting a concert no matter what
00:07:37I'm singing
00:07:39Here it comes
00:07:40Yeah
00:07:40As a kid
00:07:41She's always wanted to perform
00:07:43She gets up at par
00:07:44She gets up at school
00:07:45She's always, you know
00:07:46The one who sings the anthem
00:07:47She loves to dress up
00:07:48She loves to sing
00:07:49She loves to perform
00:07:50And now look where she is
00:07:52Like it's just crazy
00:07:54It's surreal
00:07:54Extremely surreal
00:07:56Because you think
00:07:57Well, that's my daughter
00:07:58Oh my gosh
00:07:59You know
00:07:59She's always going to be my little girl
00:08:01And, you know
00:08:02To see her go from this
00:08:03To what she is now
00:08:04It's just
00:08:04Oh, stop
00:08:07Don't stop
00:08:08Don't stop
00:08:09I'm alright
00:08:09I'm alright
00:08:10It's fine
00:08:10I've just got to breathe
00:08:11That's what happens
00:08:12Gisela is definitely the person
00:08:16To get the music started
00:08:16Whenever there's just quiet
00:08:17You just hear her singing
00:08:18Yeah
00:08:19And it's not like
00:08:19You can go
00:08:19Oh, stop
00:08:20It's ew
00:08:21It's like
00:08:21Don't stop
00:08:22Don't stop
00:08:23Don't stop
00:08:23How can this little 16 year old
00:08:27Have a voice that big
00:08:29So when you feel like hope is gone
00:08:33Look inside you and be strong
00:08:37No one can take on those songs
00:08:39Like those Mariah Carey songs
00:08:40Celine Dion songs
00:08:41No one can take them on but her
00:08:42Yeah, exactly
00:08:43That is a literal pop star
00:08:45Like pop superstar
00:08:47Winning Australian Idol
00:08:50Would definitely be a dream come true
00:08:52So Gisela
00:08:54And whatever happens
00:08:55We're proud of her
00:08:55You know
00:08:56So
00:08:57Remember what we said
00:08:58We said
00:08:59If she makes it to top 12
00:09:00We're happy
00:09:02If she makes it to top 8
00:09:03We're happy with that
00:09:05Oh my god
00:09:05She's made to top 6
00:09:06We're happy with that
00:09:07Oh my god
00:09:07Top 3
00:09:08Top 3
00:09:08And finals
00:09:09It's just
00:09:10It's just the icing on the cake
00:09:11And whatever comes from this
00:09:12Is just amazing
00:09:14Because I know she's got a big world
00:09:15I don't know
00:09:16I don't know
00:09:16First when there's nothing
00:09:36But a slow glowing dream
00:09:42That your fears seem to hide
00:09:46Deep inside your mind
00:09:52All alone I have cried
00:09:56Silent tears full of pride
00:10:02In a world
00:10:04In a world
00:10:05Made of steel
00:10:07Made of stone
00:10:13What a feeling
00:10:17It is believing
00:10:23I can have it all
00:10:26Now I'm dancing
00:10:27For my love
00:10:31Take your passion
00:10:35And make it happen
00:10:41Pictures come and light

00:11:34But your dad nearly made me cry
00:11:36Cause
00:11:37And then you started singing
00:11:39And then I just spent
00:11:40The entire time not listening
00:11:41Going

00:11:45To watch you grow
00:11:46To listen to your dad

00:11:48Talk about you
00:11:48And to hear

00:11:54But how far you've come

00:13:21Absolutely

00:13:32You should be so proud of yourself
00:13:34You are amazing
00:13:35Amazing
00:13:36You had a really unique way
00:13:41Into the Idol competition right?
00:13:43Marsha dropped into your house
00:13:44And invited you to audition
00:13:46At her concert in Perth
00:13:47And it's not every day
00:13:48That an Aussie legend of music
00:13:51Turns up at your door
00:13:52Knocks on your door
00:13:53Says hi can I come in?
00:13:55And you have actually commemorated
00:13:57That moment
00:13:58With this
00:13:59Tell us about Marsha's chair
00:14:05Okay well
00:14:07When she came in
00:14:09She sat on that very exact chair
00:14:11That beautiful chair
00:14:12And I told Dad
00:14:14We're getting something
00:14:16And we're putting it on there
00:14:17Because no one else
00:14:18Is allowed to sit on that chair
00:14:19And Marsha
00:14:20You're always invited back
00:14:21For cannolis

00:15:08The first one

00:15:17An opportunity

00:15:30For Gisella
00:15:30Thank you
00:15:32We are off to a great start
00:15:39And it is vibing in here
00:15:40With our top 12
00:15:41Back up here
00:15:42To crank up the party
00:15:43Good to have you all back
00:15:44You guys
00:15:45Good to see you
00:15:47Well
00:15:47It has been an incredible season
00:15:49Of Australian Idol
00:15:50Filled with rule breaking
00:15:52Risk taking
00:15:53Dream making moments
00:15:54From the first auditions
00:15:56Through to our
00:15:57Epic live shows
00:15:58Let's take a look back
00:15:59At some of the highlights
00:16:01This show never fails
00:16:11To surprise us
00:16:12Oh Amy
00:16:14It's not going to get you
00:16:15And this season
00:16:16Was no exception
00:16:17Australian Idol's like a box of chocolate
00:16:21Kyle's handling it
00:16:23You're like some sort of demon
00:16:24You never know what you're going to get
00:16:26We've never seen such a wide range of people auditioning
00:16:30From rock to rap
00:16:36First rap mix
00:16:37It's Aussie Idol
00:16:38If you want me
00:16:39Let me know
00:16:39I can run
00:16:40It's round the globe
00:16:41Beatboxes
00:16:42I did have to have a chat to Amy
00:16:47Because I'm marketed as the tough
00:16:49No-nonsense judge
00:16:50Sounds really harsh
00:16:51But probably not the best song choice
00:16:53I feel like it was messy
00:16:54The vocals just let you down today
00:16:57Man
00:16:57I'm like Darl
00:16:59Stick to your own lane
00:17:00Yep
00:17:01Hey
00:17:02Told ya
00:17:03Told ya
00:17:04I can do that
00:17:05Unfortunately Carl thinks
00:17:06He's just as talented
00:17:07If not more so
00:17:08Than these kids
00:17:09Get the knees into it
00:17:10Guess what
00:17:17He ain't
00:17:18He's actually a real softie
00:17:24Beautiful
00:17:25Thank you
00:17:27Sorry
00:17:27I really loved it
00:17:29Love you Kyle
00:17:30I love you baby
00:17:31Marsha Hines
00:17:32What a queen
00:17:33Well she went rogue this year
00:17:35I gave Gisela
00:17:36One of these
00:17:39Already
00:17:40So that set the benchmark
00:17:42For me to also go rogue
00:17:44This year
00:17:45It's a top 31
00:17:47When these guys go rogue
00:17:49I want to be annoyed with them
00:17:51But I can't
00:17:52They ended up finding
00:17:53Some incredible talent
00:17:55Hey now
00:17:55You're a monster
00:17:56Get your game on
00:17:57I'm gonna play
00:17:58As much as I hate to say this
00:18:02Kyle was right
00:18:03Tom
00:18:03We judges did a great job
00:18:08Fast pass
00:18:09Done
00:18:10We thought last year's talent
00:18:12Set the bar really high
00:18:13This year
00:18:14It's eclipsed anything
00:18:15We've ever done
00:18:16I love being a judge
00:18:18On this show
00:18:18One of the best jobs ever
00:18:20Every year we think
00:18:23How can the bar be raised
00:18:24And look where we are
00:18:26I'd really like to kiss you if that's okay
00:18:35I've been thinking the same thing all day
00:18:38The greatest love story of the year
00:18:44Is here
00:18:45What do you look for in a guy
00:18:47Um you
00:18:48From their first meeting
00:18:51I felt like butterflies in your stomach
00:18:52I couldn't stop blushing
00:18:53I couldn't stop smiling
00:18:54To their first kiss
00:18:56I have so much love to give
00:18:58And I want to give it to you
00:18:59This is the moment they've waited for
00:19:01Their entire life
00:19:03Probably the best day I've ever had
00:19:05Pretty hard to top this to be honest
00:19:07But finding love
00:19:08Isn't always easy
00:19:10I've got my hands full
00:19:11We have two ladies leaving
00:19:13They're not waiting
00:19:14Hearts will break
00:19:17I don't know if I can do this
00:19:18It's been less than 24 hours
00:19:20And we've already lost two girls
00:19:21What?
00:19:23I didn't think it would be this hard
00:19:24I'm not gonna lie
00:19:26It's probably the worst
00:19:27I've actually ever been hurt
00:19:28Can I not do this?
00:19:30Hearts will soar
00:19:32I'm falling really hard and fast
00:19:35I'm totally smitten
00:19:36I get the tingle in my toes
00:19:38This is real love
00:19:40I'm falling for you
00:19:41I do hope that you'll catch me
00:19:43And there's nothing else like it
00:19:46When you smile
00:19:47It lights up the world
00:19:48I love you
00:19:50And which of our past farmers

00:23:39Speaking of Eilish
00:23:41From small town
00:23:42Colt Can
00:23:42To the grand finale stage
00:23:44Our checkout chick
00:23:45Rock chick
00:23:45Was always meant to shine
00:23:47This is Eilish
00:23:49The first moment
00:23:55I realised
00:23:56I could sing
00:23:56Was when me
00:23:58And dad
00:23:58Did a duet
00:24:00Everybody loved it
00:24:02So every time
00:24:03We'd have a gig
00:24:05Somewhere
00:24:05Oh listen to me
00:24:07Up there
00:24:07We've got to play that
00:24:08Yeah
00:24:09She rocked it
00:24:10And I think
00:24:10I think it was
00:24:11The start of
00:24:12Eilish thinking
00:24:13Oh I can
00:24:14I can do something
00:24:15She was always
00:24:16Quiet kid
00:24:17At home
00:24:19But if she wanted
00:24:20To sing a song
00:24:21She commanded us
00:24:22To listen
00:24:23You know
00:24:23Listen to me mum
00:24:25You know
00:24:26So right from
00:24:27A young age
00:24:28I knew she had
00:24:29Something special
00:24:30She wanted a puppy
00:24:31Once so she wrote
00:24:32A song
00:24:33Oh my god
00:24:33For me
00:24:35I can do it for you
00:24:35Yeah
00:24:36You need a guitar
00:24:37Puppy dogs
00:24:38Puppy dogs
00:24:40I really want one
00:24:42Don don don
00:24:44That'll be on my
00:24:45First album
00:24:46Puppy dogs
00:24:46Might need a bit of work
00:24:47Well we'll need a lot of work
00:24:50Eilish is a dark horse
00:24:52She's this sweet
00:24:54Young girl
00:24:55And then once she's on camera
00:24:57She's this cool
00:24:58Mature
00:24:59Grown woman
00:25:00When she gets on that stage
00:25:04She finds this hip
00:25:05That's a totally different person
00:25:10She turns into like this
00:25:12Rock girl
00:25:14Anger in her eye
00:25:15Yeah
00:25:15She just owns the song
00:25:17And you're not even 20 years old
00:25:21Tell me how that works
00:25:22Born and do it
00:25:24So proud of you mum
00:25:26Thanks guys
00:25:27A little bit surreal
00:25:29I've seen this little girl
00:25:31Just pluck away with me
00:25:33On the guitar
00:25:33And sing a song
00:25:34And then
00:25:35All of a sudden
00:25:36She's entering
00:25:37On this big stage
00:25:38To know how well she's gone
00:25:41You can't have to take your dad goggles off
00:25:44She's just gone great
00:25:45As far as I'm concerned
00:25:46We're just super proud
00:25:48That Australia has fallen in love with her
00:25:50Because
00:25:51It's easy to forget
00:25:52When she's dressed up
00:25:53Like this big rock star
00:25:55That she
00:25:55Still is just 17
00:25:57She's the school captain
00:25:59Of a high school
00:26:00It takes a lot of hard work
00:26:02To prove yourself
00:26:03And to get this far
00:26:05And I think Eilish
00:26:06Has done that
00:26:08I think no matter what now
00:26:10We couldn't be proud
00:26:12Don't cry mum
00:26:13It's okay
00:26:27Well good for you
00:26:28I guess you moved on
00:26:29Really easily
00:26:30You found a new girl
00:26:31And it only took a couple weeks
00:26:33Remember when you said
00:26:34That you wanted to give me the world
00:26:36Well good for you
00:26:40I guess that you've been
00:26:40Working on yourself
00:26:42I guess the therapist
00:26:43Have found me
00:26:43She really helped
00:26:44Now you can be a better man
00:26:46For your brand new girl
00:26:48Well good for you
00:26:52You look happy
00:26:53You tell me
00:26:54Not me
00:26:54If you ever care
00:26:55But I
00:26:56Good for you
00:26:57You're too afraid
00:26:58I'm there without me
00:26:59Baby
00:27:00God I wish that I could do that
00:27:02I love my mind
00:27:03I'm standing at night
00:27:05I'm hiding
00:27:05On the floor of my bathroom
00:27:07She's so unexpected
00:27:09I really don't get it
00:27:11I guess
00:27:11Good for you
00:27:13Maybe I'm too emotional
00:27:21Yeah I can feel like a wounded child
00:27:24Maybe I'm too emotional
00:27:26Maybe you never care
00:27:29Maybe I'm too emotional
00:27:32I believe like a wounded soul
00:27:36Maybe I'm too emotional
00:27:38Maybe you never care
00:27:40Good for you
00:27:42Good for you
00:27:46You look happy
00:27:47You're healthy
00:27:48Not me
00:27:49If you ever care
00:27:50Good for you
00:27:52You're doing great
00:27:52I'm doing it
00:27:53Without me
00:27:54Baby
00:27:54I can dance
00:27:55It's a deal
00:27:56I'll be your path
00:27:56I lost my mind
00:27:58I've been tonight
00:27:59I'm hiding
00:28:00On the floor of my bathroom
00:28:02I'm just so unaffected
00:28:03I really don't get it
00:28:05I guess
00:28:06Good for you
00:28:07Good for you
00:28:11I guess you're going to die
00:28:12Really easily
00:28:13Yeah
00:28:13Yeah
00:28:15Yeah
00:28:18Yes, Eilish, work those hips, honey.
00:28:39Work those hips.
00:28:40Look, you know, you've just gotten so...
00:28:42But you were sassy when we first met you, you know?
00:28:45Like, you just came in so demure and quiet.
00:28:48And then you opened your mouth up and you sang.
00:28:50You're so comfortable on stage.
00:28:53But you've just become this, I don't know, this rock chick.
00:28:57You know?
00:28:57And I'm so proud of you.
00:28:59And I wish you all the luck once again.
00:29:00Okay, honey?
00:29:01Thanks a lot.
00:29:02God bless you.
00:29:05Eilish, I mean, I've told you a thousand times, I'm such a fan.
00:29:09Like, rock music and punk music is just how I learned to write songs.
00:29:14And obviously, I've just loved every performance you've had.
00:29:17But no matter what happens tonight, just get a band and get on the damn road.
00:29:21I want to come to a show.
00:29:24Thanks, Amy.
00:29:28You know what?
00:29:29Olivia Rodrigo, great, great song choice.
00:29:31Especially for your age group.
00:29:33Your angst, your vocal, you're amazing.
00:29:35The thing I love about you is I could play you on the radio tomorrow.
00:29:39Ready to go.
00:29:40Ready to go touring.
00:29:43And you know what?
00:29:45If you don't win, if you don't win, I'll buy you the van to go touring in.
00:29:50Hey!
00:29:50Thank you, Kyle.
00:29:54I'm holding you to that.
00:29:56No problem.
00:29:58Oh, my gosh.
00:29:59We got that, right?
00:30:00We got that recorded.
00:30:01Yes.
00:30:02That is on tape forever.
00:30:04It's not a Ferrari.
00:30:05It's just a van.
00:30:05Everyone at home, you all heard it.
00:30:07We all heard it.
00:30:08You all heard it.
00:30:09We've got lots of witnesses.
00:30:10A nice Mercedes van.
00:30:14I love it.
00:30:15Kyle with his cold can.
00:30:17Yep.
00:30:18Eilish, you just showed that stage who was boss.
00:30:21Good for you.
00:30:22Did that feel good?
00:30:23Absolutely.
00:30:24I mean, this is the grand finale.
00:30:26It feels good to be here.
00:30:28Oh, I'm loving it.
00:30:30You really look at home up here on stage.
00:30:33You really do.
00:30:34It was like watching your own show.
00:30:36It was so cool.
00:30:37Eilish, just a few months ago, you were a checkout chick,
00:30:40living in a small country town.
00:30:41And tonight, you could win Australian Idol.
00:30:45Like, right?
00:30:49Take us back to that moment you decided to audition for Idol.
00:30:54I mean, I was just sitting in my room.
00:30:57And I was with my dad.
00:30:59I didn't tell my mom yet.
00:31:01I don't know why.
00:31:02But it was just me and my dad.
00:31:03We were just chilling in my room.
00:31:04And he goes, oh, yeah, just do it.
00:31:06You'll be right.
00:31:07Just do it.
00:31:08And then we had a Zoom call.
00:31:09And then we had the audition.
00:31:11And I walked through the doors.
00:31:12And I seen these judges.
00:31:13And everything just changed from that moment on.
00:31:16I think the way I approach things now has changed.
00:31:19And I really thank you guys for that and this whole experience for that.
00:31:25You walked in that audition room.
00:31:27And you blew everyone's faces off with your voice.
00:31:29It was amazing.
00:31:30But to anyone watching at home who might be thinking of giving Idol a crack,
00:31:34especially those who live in regional or remote areas,
00:31:37who may think that this is an unrealistic dream,
00:31:41what would you say to them?
00:31:42It's not unrealistic.
00:31:44Don't live life unapologetically.
00:31:46Take a risk on yourself.
00:31:47And if it's your dream, share it.
00:31:50If it's your passion, share it.
00:31:51Just do it.
00:31:53Shoot for the stars.
00:31:54Go for it.
00:31:55Shoot your shot.
00:31:56I love it.
00:31:57If you think you might have what it takes to be here,
00:32:00shoot your shot and fill out the form at idolauditions.com.au.
00:32:04You never know what could come of it.
00:32:07Now, Eilish, on the big screen over there, check it out.
00:32:10We're beaming live to Cold Can,
00:32:13where it looks like the whole town is watching on.
00:32:16My goodness.
00:32:17Hi, guys.
00:32:18Hi.
00:32:19Oh, they've got their sausages.
00:32:20Amazing.
00:32:21Amazing.
00:32:23The sausages on the floor.
00:32:24They're really nice.
00:32:25I've got a bit of a sweat going, but do you think good sausages?
00:32:27Oh, from the spice?
00:32:28A bit spicy.
00:32:29Yeah, a little sweat line around here, but, oh, they're so nice.
00:32:31Oh, I like it.
00:32:32Eilish, you very well could be the next Australian Idol.
00:32:36Australia, give this superstar some love.
00:32:41One more time for Eilish.
00:32:42Thank you, everybody.
00:32:46Well, after the break, our burger boy from the sunny coast in Queensland,
00:32:51Marshall Hamburger, performs live.
00:32:54Marshall is cooking up something very, very fun.
00:32:57Trust me, you can't miss this.
00:32:59The live grand finale continues after the break.
00:33:06This is the live grand finale, where very soon we'll find out
00:33:18who you voted as the winner of Australian Idol 2025.
00:33:22Don't forget to see what everyone is saying by checking us out
00:33:25on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.
00:33:27I wonder if anyone's mentioned the burger.
00:33:28Oh, the burger.
00:33:29It's looking good.
00:33:29It looks delicious.
00:33:30There is a lot of incredible feedback about this year's idols,
00:33:33including lots of love for our next finalist.
00:33:37Some of you have described him as having a talent like no other,
00:33:40and some even say he's an Elton John in the making.
00:33:45Australia, this is Marshall Hamburger.
00:33:53My first memories of Marshall when he was born,
00:33:56I remember Marshall had a full set of hair,
00:33:58so he came out with, like, hair, and I said,
00:34:00this is not normal.
00:34:01People were calling him Rod Stewart, all our friends.
00:34:05They were like, do you give birth to Rod Stewart, Kelly?
00:34:07Because he had, like, long mullet.
00:34:10Looks better now.
00:34:12Looks better now.
00:34:13Well, there's more of it.
00:34:14There's more hair.
00:34:17From a young age, Marshall was always, you know,
00:34:20tinkering with instruments and toys.
00:34:23And so, yeah, you'd often hear Marshall just working stuff out
00:34:26and, you know, just figuring out what happens if I touch this.
00:34:30What happens if I touch two of that?
00:34:32Mmm.
00:34:33What happens if I touch three?
00:34:37I definitely got that love for music from my parents.
00:34:40Growing up with such talented musicians in my household,
00:34:43it was so helpful when it came to actually wanting to pursue music
00:34:47because I had access to these people who were very skilled at their craft,
00:34:51but they're also my parents, and they actually also want to help.
00:34:54And we were for free.
00:34:55And you're free.
00:34:56Yeah.
00:34:56You don't cost any money, which is really good.
00:34:58Oh, my God.
00:35:02Marshall's role in the group was, like,
00:35:04to be the coolest nerd, I'll be honest.
00:35:05He's just such a rock star.
00:35:07It's very fabulous.
00:35:09Wait.
00:35:09He's got happy energy.
00:35:11He's got great energy.
00:35:14He just loves music so much that he's like,
00:35:17I just want to do music every day of my life.
00:35:19His best dance move, I call it the peacock.
00:35:25Oh, yeah.
00:35:27He's got the knee up.
00:35:30He does his little...
00:35:31He does his little up there.
00:35:33The effort that he puts in,
00:35:37like, he works too hard not to be the next to show.
00:35:41Marshall is the best son any bloke could ask for.
00:35:44He is the kindest, sweetest person on the planet.
00:35:48He's the sort of artist that you could probably go and see a lot.
00:35:52And every time you see him, something else would happen.
00:35:56You know?
00:35:56He runs very deep.
00:35:59I probably would buy a ticket.
00:36:01I give them free tickets.
00:36:03We're discounting at least.
00:36:04Discounting at least.
00:36:17Well, I heard about the fellow you've been dancing with
00:36:20All over the neighborhood
00:36:22Now, why didn't you ask me, baby?

00:48:04Your voice and talent is beyond your years.
00:48:07Just effortless and I haven't heard a voice like yours in such a long time and I know
00:48:12that this won't be the last time we all hear your voice.
00:48:15You are amazing and never forget that.
00:48:18Go West Aussies.
00:48:20Judges.
00:48:21Any words for Gisella?
00:48:24Gisella, you know, you've won.
00:48:26It doesn't matter.

00:52:33When you're not looking, it's when you find someone that's worth your eye.
00:52:38I try to stay patient, but how could I?
00:52:42How could I?
00:52:44All I know is I'm done and I'm falling.
00:52:48I can't help it if I keep falling.
00:52:52Head over feet, you make a mess out of me.
00:52:57Don't wanna leave it up and baby, give me a moment, I'll take it.
00:53:04I know they say that good things come to those who wait.
00:53:08Why would I want good if I got great?
00:53:12Oh baby, I've never been good at waiting.
00:53:18I know they say that good things come to those who wait.
00:53:23Why would I want good?
00:53:25Why would I want good if I got great?
00:53:27Oh, don't wanna die with a wasted chance.
00:53:31Won't let your bones slip into my hands.
00:53:33That's why I'm moving fast.
00:53:36Well, look, I'm already making plans to be your man.
00:53:42All I know is I'm done and I'm falling.
00:53:46I can't help it if I keep falling.
00:53:50Head over feet, you make a mess out of me.
00:53:54Oh, don't wanna leave it up and baby, give me a moment, I'll take it.
00:54:01I know they say that good things come to those who wait.
00:54:06Why would I want good if I got great?
00:54:10Oh baby, I've never been good at waiting.
00:54:15I know they say that good things come to those who wait.
00:54:20Why would I want good if I got great?
00:54:30Oh, I gotta get to you.
00:54:36Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:54:39All I know is I'm done and I'm falling.
00:54:42I can't help it if I keep falling.
00:54:46Head over feet, you make a mess out of me.
00:54:50Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:54:52Don't wanna leave it up to me, baby.
00:54:55Give me a good moment, I'll take it.
00:54:58I know they say that good things come to those who wait.
00:55:03Why would I want good if I got great?
00:55:07Oh baby, yeah.
00:55:10Good at waiting.
00:55:14That good things come to those who wait.
00:55:17Why would I want good if I got great?
00:55:21I'll take it up.
00:55:22Oh.
00:55:27Thank you so much.
00:55:28Marsha.
00:55:34She looks gorgeous.
00:55:35Good to you.
00:55:36Oh, how are you?
00:55:38Very good.
00:55:39Wow.
00:55:40Wow.
00:55:41Look at these guns.
00:55:42You got your guns out tonight.
00:55:43Oh no.
00:55:44No, there's...
00:55:45Guy came packing tonight.
00:55:46Guy Sebastian, everybody.
00:55:47Yeah.
00:55:48Hello.
00:55:49Wow, what a performance.
00:55:51Guy, my goodness.
00:55:52We are not even halfway through 2025 and it has been a massive year for you already.
00:55:57You made your silver screen debut in a starring role in a movie, a movie star over here.
00:56:03Yeah.
00:56:04And now you've surprised us with new music.
00:56:07Tell us about the new song, Maybe.
00:56:09It's so good.
00:56:10It's such a banger.
00:56:11Oh, I appreciate it.
00:56:12Well, I did do a movie, although Amy as well.
00:56:15Yeah.
00:56:16I've seen the shorts for you as a fighter.
00:56:18Which is amazing.
00:56:19I've made a couple of movies, but I don't think you'll see them.
00:56:21I've seen one of them.
00:56:22I don't want to see the sequel.
00:56:24We don't go looking for them.
00:56:25We don't go looking for them.
00:56:26We don't go looking for them.
00:56:27We don't go looking for them at home, where they belong.
00:56:29Never to be seen.
00:56:30No.
00:56:31Different category.
00:56:32On an old Nokia somewhere on the store.
00:56:35But no, the song, it's the first release in a while, but I've taken almost four years,
00:56:41actually over four years to make the album and it's finally finished.
00:56:44I've been pretty busy this year just making that.
00:56:46And this is the first thing I've released for ages.
00:56:48So there's heaps more music to come after this as well.
00:56:51But it's the first time I'm singing this song.
00:56:54So it's...
00:56:55So good.
00:56:56Sang the hell out of it, of course.
00:56:58Marsha, I mean, look at how far Guy has come.
00:57:01Are you getting flashbacks to when he first walked into the audition room all those years ago?
00:57:05You know, the moment I heard Guy, he had the most amazing vocabulary of any singer I've ever heard.
00:57:15You know, you're the bomb, man.
00:57:16I'm so proud of you.
00:57:17I am...
00:57:18You are something else, man.
00:57:20You are.
00:57:21I think the perspective as well from my end is I was so nervous.
00:57:26And just when Marsha has her, oh, that was just beautiful.
00:57:32Like, honestly, what you do for the contestants is just so nurturing and it puts them at peace.
00:57:37And you did that for me and you still...
00:57:39My pleasure, Guy.
00:57:40Truly.
00:57:41My pleasure.
00:57:42It's very calming, isn't it?
00:57:43The Marsha energy.
00:57:44The Marsha effect.
00:57:45And then you've got Kyle.
00:57:47Yeah.
00:57:48I'm like a lavender spray too, aren't I, Guy?
00:57:50You are, yes.
00:57:51Like a lavender spray.
00:57:52You know what?
00:57:53I'm a bit annoyed because every time you bring out a new song, you send it to me first.
00:57:59And you were texting me yesterday and I had to wait to see it live here.
00:58:03What a song.
00:58:04Oh, when did he send it to you?
00:58:05I do.
00:58:06I think I got it a couple of days before.
00:58:07Oh, did you?
00:58:08A couple of days before you.
00:58:09Oh, that's crazy.
00:58:10That would have been the demo.
00:58:11When, yeah.
00:58:12You might have got the demo.
00:58:13Oh.
00:58:14With the tap track.
00:58:15Oh, you got the click track.
00:58:16Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:58:17The tap track.
00:58:18I call it the tap track.
00:58:19Ricky.
00:58:20Used to be the tap track.
00:58:21Used to be the tap track.
00:58:22We'll let him think he got the first one, Guy.
00:58:23That's right.
00:58:24Yeah.
00:58:25Check your junk mail.
00:58:26Yes.
00:58:27Guy, you are the perfect example of a true Australian idol.
00:58:31Congratulations on all of your success, including the new song, Yes.
00:58:37Maybe is available to download and stream right now.
00:58:39Put your hands together, everybody, for the one and only Guy Sebastian.
00:58:45Still to come, our two finalists, Eilish and Marshall Hamburger, about to go head-to-head,
00:58:53singing supersized versions of their very first audition songs.
00:58:57A full circle moment for them both.
00:58:59Then, we announce your winner of Australian Idol 2025.
00:59:04That's coming up.
00:59:05We'll be back in a moment.
00:59:15This is the live grand finale coming to you from the Shark Coliseum.
00:59:24The tension is building as we get closer to finding out whether Eilish or Marshall Hamburger
00:59:29will be crowned your winner.
00:59:31I am with Eilish's support crew, led by mum Melissa.
00:59:34Isn't it incredible?
00:59:36Okay, you knew you had a little rock chick and she had talent.
00:59:38Could you ever imagine in the top two?
00:59:41No, never in my wildest dreams.
00:59:43I said to my husband, did you remember holding Eilish as a baby?
00:59:48And did you think she'd ever take us on a journey like this?
00:59:51And we both said, oh my God, definitely not.
00:59:53But she showed so much determination, strength, and most of all courage.
00:59:59So we're so proud of her for where she's come.
01:00:02For sure.
01:00:03Well, it's been a huge journey for Eilish from Colcane.
01:00:07Let's take a look back at where it all started.
01:00:13That is what an idol should be.
01:00:15Everyone should come out and blow us away.
01:00:22I was the first person to audition.
01:00:24I mean, I was pretty scared.
01:00:26Where are you from?
01:00:27I'm from Colcane.
01:00:28Colcane.
01:00:29Colcane?
01:00:30As in putting it in the esky?
01:00:32But I knew that I was in there for a reason.
01:00:34And I've helped
01:00:36Yeah!
01:00:37To remind
01:00:38To remind
01:00:39Of a mess you
01:00:41It was nice to shock the judges a bit.
01:00:42Put them on the edge, I suppose.
01:00:44It's not fair
01:00:45Checkout Chick too.
01:00:46Absolute rock chick.
01:00:48Yeah, yeah, yeah, ought to know
01:00:51So one, two, three, take my hand and come at me
01:00:53Because she looks so fun that I really wanna make
01:00:55Top 30 solo challenge performance.
01:00:57Was definitely
01:00:59I really wanna make you play
01:01:01A challenge
01:01:02I didn't think that was that great.
01:01:04You are on notice
01:01:05To be put on notice was really tough
01:01:08Especially after having such positive feedback during my audition
01:01:12Yeah, surprising
01:01:14It definitely knocked my confidence
01:01:16It definitely knocked my confidence
01:01:17Top 21 transformation week was a crazy week
01:01:21Tonight she's ditched the glasses, let her hair down and is rocking the rock star look
01:01:26Oh my god
01:01:28I was feeling more confident in myself and I think that was a pivotal moment in my idol journey
01:01:37Oh pretty empathy
01:01:39Now you look like a rock star
01:01:41To be called a rock star from the judges just makes my heart explode because that's all I've ever wanted
01:01:49Yeah
01:01:53I would describe my idol journey as a huge rollercoaster
01:01:59I've learnt so much about myself, others and the industry
01:02:03Oh what the heck, this is awesome
01:02:06Being a similar age with Gisela and sharing this experience with her just has made us closer
01:02:12Best dance friends I ever
01:02:14I mean we're like sisters now
01:02:16I come visit you all the time
01:02:17Yay
01:02:18Yay
01:02:19Visit me
01:02:20And I'll visit you in Colcann
01:02:21Colcann
01:02:22I think my secret weapon during this whole journey definitely has to be the support from my hometown Colcann
01:02:29Colcann
01:02:31Colcann has done so much to get me here today
01:02:35I don't think I would be able to do any of this without the support from Colcann
01:02:39Since being on Australian Idol I think I've been able to grow a lot more musically
01:02:45I love you and I now know why Colcann loves you better
01:02:50I've been able to express myself in rock music which I think makes me stronger
01:02:55I think you're one of the biggest rock stars we've just discovered in this country
01:03:00That's so cool, thank you
01:03:02It's a bit surreal knowing that it's my last time performing on the Idol stage
01:03:06I mean I feel like we're kind of coming to the end of a chapter
01:03:11But I don't think it is in a way I think it's going to lead to many more things
01:03:16It's my life
01:03:31I want you to know
01:03:35I'm happy for you
01:03:39I wish nothing but the best for you both
01:03:47Did you fuck it all by me? Mr. Do, this is D
01:03:52Oh, I hate to fuck you with me to love you
01:03:56Does she speak at all quietly? And would she have your baby?
01:04:01Oh, I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
01:04:06Cause the love that you gave to me me wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide
01:04:13Nooo
01:04:16And every time you speak her name you should know how you told me your whole way
01:04:20Until you die, till you die, but you're still alive
01:04:24And I'm here to remind you
01:04:29I'll admit you left when you went away
01:04:33It's not there to deny me
01:04:50I'm blind to live when you went away
01:04:54It's not there to deny me
01:04:58All across the side, baby, that's your game to me
01:05:03Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't know
01:05:28Well, well, well
01:05:31You did it again, that nice little song when we first met you
01:05:35Man, you are so close
01:05:37You're one away, just you and Burger Boy
01:05:40You can almost smell it in the air, the victory
01:05:44Ooh, smells so good
01:05:47That's the sausage, did you finish it or did you drop some?
01:05:51Yeah, there's a little bit of roll under here
01:05:52Look, you, and Amy's right
01:05:55You could be the next big deal in this country
01:05:59That voice, that attitude
01:06:00You've got such a beautiful spirit
01:06:02And you care about where you came from
01:06:04And that's rare in a young person
01:06:06And best of luck, babe
01:06:07I really hope it works out for you
01:06:09Thank you so much, Carl
01:06:10I remember, Eilish, you know, the first song you sang
01:06:20Which was another Alanis Morissette song
01:06:23And I said, who'd you sing that for?
01:06:25And you said it was somebody who you wanted to kick to the curb
01:06:28You were over him, right?
01:06:30Well, honey, I'm sure he's watching now
01:06:32And hoping and wishing
01:06:34That he had never treated you the way he did
01:06:36Yes, girl, well done
01:06:38Yeah, I, um
01:06:44I thought you melted our faces off the first time you sung that
01:06:48But that was just, like, on another level
01:06:50Like, we all went off then
01:06:51That was, I mean, yeah
01:06:53I don't know what else to say
01:06:54You're just such a cool chick
01:06:56I, like, I think the whole of Australia
01:06:58Really relates to you and understands you
01:07:01And, um, just, just really gets down with you
01:07:04I just, honestly, you've made it this far
01:07:06And we are so, so happy for you
01:07:09And so proud of you
01:07:10And that just proves, again, you're just such a rock star, man
01:07:13Such a rock star
01:07:14She's ready to go
01:07:14Thanks so much, Eilish
01:07:16Wow, Eilish
01:07:18You just sang that song like it was the last thing you were ever gonna do
01:07:23You stood there and that last note was like, whoa
01:07:26That was insane
01:07:28That was your audition song
01:07:29And to see you sing it again just shows how far you have come
01:07:33And how much you have grown in this competition
01:07:35Eilish, whether you win this thing or not
01:07:38You're gonna be spending a lot of time on the road
01:07:40Touring and recording
01:07:41It's a lot of time away from your friends and family in Colcan
01:07:45How do you feel about that?
01:07:48I mean, I'm always gonna stay connected to Colcan, no matter what
01:07:52And, um, yeah, to get on the road
01:07:54I'd love to make some new connections
01:07:56Yes
01:07:57And that would be amazing
01:07:58Yes
01:07:59Imagine the homecoming show
01:08:01It's gonna be insane
01:08:02Eilish, you are moments away from finding out
01:08:07If you have been voted as the next Australian Idol
01:08:10Best of luck
01:08:11Thank you
01:08:12Everybody, give it up for Eilish
01:08:13Thank you, everybody
01:08:14Wow
01:08:18Next on Idol, we recap Marshall Hamburger's heroic campaign
01:08:23From audition to grand finale
01:08:25Before he wraps it up with one last performance
01:08:29The Idol live grand finale is back in a moment
01:08:32Welcome back to Idol
01:08:45We are inching closer to revealing who you voted into the top spot
01:08:49Before the break, we heard from rock chick Eilish for the last time
01:08:53And now it is Marshall Hamburger's turn
01:08:55I'm here with Marshall's family, Mr. and Mrs. Hamburger, Kelly and Gavin
01:08:59What do you want to say to Marshall before he performs for the very last time on Idol?
01:09:04Marshall, take a breath, take a moment for yourself
01:09:07Centre yourself
01:09:09And then do exactly what you do
01:09:11And we're all with you
01:09:12Wise word there from Dad
01:09:15Well, Australia, let's take a quick look back at where we first met our burger boy
01:09:20You honestly were born to do this
01:09:26I'm through to the grand finale of Australian Idol
01:09:29Marshall, and it still does not feel real
01:09:31Marshall!
01:09:35I've always sort of dreamed of this moment
01:09:37But actually being in this position is an entirely different bag of worms
01:09:44Can of worms
01:09:45An entirely different can of worms
01:09:47How are you feeling right now?
01:09:54I'm nervous as hell
01:09:55I didn't think I'd get through auditions, honestly
01:10:00Cause every little thing she does is magic
01:10:04Everything in two just turns me on
01:10:07For some reason I was like, oh, he probably games
01:10:10I do game, I do game
01:10:12And you sat down at that piano
01:10:13And you just became this absolute superstar
01:10:17I think I've exceeded my expectations
01:10:23Top 30 solo performers
01:10:31It was the first time I really
01:10:33I really showed people who I was
01:10:35I think they didn't expect it
01:10:38And I was like, yeah, but here's my
01:10:40Here's the other side of me
01:10:41Here's me as a performer
01:10:42That was so exciting
01:10:47Marshall, you are a one of a kind
01:10:49Welcome to the Top 21
01:10:50Thank you so much
01:10:52If I had to summarise my entire Idol experience
01:10:59I suppose I would say
01:11:02Radical
01:11:04Not radical
01:11:06Yeah, I'm pretty
01:11:08Ready
01:11:10Cool
01:11:11Now I've seen you singing on Idol
01:11:19And you got the chops
01:11:21Having Daryl Braithard as a fan
01:11:25Is a pretty big box to tick
01:11:27I think the journey I've been on
01:11:32Through Idol has really been
01:11:34Sort of like affirming
01:11:35Who I am
01:11:36What kind of music I do
01:11:37What kind of a person I want to be
01:11:39And how I want to present myself
01:11:40You are such a genuine musician up there
01:11:47You make what you do incredibly exciting
01:11:49As a showman
01:11:50And for that I think
01:11:51It's really helped me
01:11:52Sort of, I guess, become the whole package
01:11:54This nerd might be the next Australian Idol
01:12:00Fingers crossed
01:12:02I keep thinking of
01:12:05Oh, I try before to tell her
01:12:16Of the feelings I had for her
01:12:20Every time that I come near her
01:12:30I just lose my nerve
01:12:33As I've done
01:12:34From the start
01:12:36Every little thing she does is magic
01:12:43Every little thing just turns me on
01:12:47Even though my life before was tried
01:12:50Now I know my love for her goes on
01:12:55I resolve to call her up
01:12:59A thousand times a day
01:13:03And ask her if she'll marry me
01:13:06In some old-fashioned way
01:13:10But my silent fears have gripped me
01:13:13Long before I reach the bone
01:13:16Long before my day has gripped me

01:25:09Some places don't just take your breath away. They steal your heart.
01:25:25I love living on the farm. Freedom, open spaces, sunrises, sunsets.
01:25:31But it would be nice to share it with someone else.
01:25:33The greatest love stories begin in the most beautiful places on Earth.
01:25:42It's literally just been paradise. This is so pretty.
01:25:46I've got my eyes running.
01:25:47Imagine waking up to this.
01:25:50One of my favourite spots on the farm.
01:25:52And feeling like this.
01:25:55Watching the sunset with you forever beside you. It's been a lifelong dream of mine.
01:25:59Some people search the world for love.

01:26:08I love you.
