00:00:00Good morning everyone it is day two of auditions for Australian Idol. The fever
00:00:09has taken over everyone right now. Singers are traveling from all corners of the
00:00:13country to chase their idol dream. I'm on the Australian Idol bus. I'm doing this for
00:00:18UWA. Let's go. How are you going? I'm here to make you guys proud. I'm doing this for Freemantle.
00:00:39Back to smart. We're doing this for you guys.
00:00:48I'm doing this for you Brisbane. Ballarat. Adelaide. Monington Peninsula. All within the Gold Coast.
00:00:55Everybody welcome to Australian Idol auditions. Who's ready to go tonight?
00:01:08It's day two auditions and hundreds of hopefuls have traveled all over the country to be right here at Idol HQ.
00:01:15Welcome to Idol. G'day. Welcome to Idol. No. No you didn't.
00:01:22But despite the distance this is not the end of their journey. It's only the beginning.
00:01:30Day one got off to a red hot star. Yes.
00:01:34That's the best audition I have ever seen. The judges awarded five coveted golden tickets.
00:01:41So, who will impress today? Do these singers have what it takes to be the next Australian Idol?
00:01:48OK. No time like the present. Let's bring the first one in please. Let's go.
00:01:58Howdy.
00:02:07Hi.
00:02:08Hello.
00:02:09How are you?
00:02:10I'm good. How are you?
00:02:11Very well sir. What's your name?
00:02:12My name's Charlie. I'm from Perth.
00:02:14Charlie from Perth.
00:02:15Yes.
00:02:16OK Charlie, how old are you?
00:02:17I'm 31.
00:02:18You got a cool vibe too. I love your outfit.
00:02:21Style is a big part of this show.
00:02:24I have an orange beanie that I'm obsessed with too at the moment.
00:02:27There's something about an orange beanie. Just pops.
00:02:29What do you do for a living?
00:02:31I'm a musician and I also take care of my dad who has cancer.
00:02:35Oh, it gets you, that stuff.
00:02:37It sure does. It really does.
00:02:39Wow, that's a big job.
00:02:41It is a big job, yeah. It's actually both my parents. Unfortunately, my mum passed away. I was her full-time carer. She's no longer here, but...
00:02:48Oh my God, Charlie.
00:02:50Yeah.
00:02:51Far out.
00:02:56That's, I don't know when that is. Do you know?
00:02:58Just laying there with mum.
00:03:00It's one of the things when I was younger I actually remember that day.
00:03:03I used to float, now I just fall down.
00:03:09My mum was a beautiful person.
00:03:12I used to call her like the light beacon because people would just attract to her.
00:03:17Bubbly, just laughing all the time. She had a laugh that you could hear from down the street.
00:03:22What was I made for?
00:03:26Something really wasn't right with her. She wasn't her normal self and we took her straight to the hospital.
00:03:32They said, I'm really sorry to say, but your mum has a brain tumour the size of a blood orange in her head.
00:03:39Think I forgot how to be happy.
00:03:45A couple days later she had brain surgery, couldn't remove all the tumour.
00:03:49And then she had chemo, radiology. She was just so, so brave.
00:03:54She passed away very peacefully and I was there with her.
00:03:57So she lasted about a year.
00:03:59Something I'm made for...
00:04:03I wouldn't trade the sacrifice that I made for anything because I got to spend that time with my mum.
00:04:13But you know what? Props to you for looking after them when they needed you as they looked after us when we needed them.
00:04:21Of course, yeah. And so it was my pleasure to look after them.
00:04:24You bet it is, man. What are you going to sing?
00:04:26I'm going to sing Birds of a Feather by Billie Eilish.
00:04:29Why Billie Eilish?
00:04:31This song really resonates with me. It's about, you know, loving someone for all time.
00:04:36And I think of my mum when I sing this song and I'll be thinking of her when I sing it now.
00:04:40She means the most, you know? You love your mum. No one loves you like your mum does.
00:04:44That's the first love of your life, man.
00:04:46Just take as much time as you need, Charlie.
00:04:48Thank you, thank you.
00:04:50I want you to stay
00:04:57Till I'm in the grave
00:05:15Till I run away
00:05:20Dead and buried
00:05:23Until I'm in the castle
00:05:26You carry
00:05:28You go, I'm going too
00:05:31Cause it was always you
00:05:36And if I'm turning blue
00:05:39And if I'm turning blue
00:05:41Please don't save me
00:05:44Nothing left to lose
00:05:46Without my baby
00:05:49Cause of a feather
00:05:50We should stick together
00:05:59I know
00:06:00Said we never think I wasn't better alone
00:06:04Be forever
00:06:06Be forever
00:06:07Be forever
00:06:08Be forever
00:06:09But
00:06:10If it's for heaven
00:06:11Then it's even better
00:06:14I don't know
00:06:15I don't know
00:06:16I don't know what I'm crying for
00:06:19I don't think I could love you more
00:06:24It might not be
00:06:27It might not be
00:06:28Baby
00:06:29I
00:06:31I love you
00:06:32To the day that I die
00:06:35To the day that I die
00:06:39I die
00:06:43The light leaves my eyes
00:06:46To the day that I die
00:06:48To the day that I die
00:06:49I die
00:06:52To the day that I die
00:07:03To the day that I die
00:07:04I die
00:07:05Oh. Charlie, that was beautiful.
00:07:16Are you OK?
00:07:18Yeah, OK.
00:07:19Charlie, man, geez, that was fantastic.
00:07:24Thank you. Thank you.
00:07:25You are just effortlessly brilliant.
00:07:28Thank you. That means a lot. Thank you so much.
00:07:30So good.
00:07:30You know, we who sing songs, we are storytellers.
00:07:35You have to go to a place when you sing
00:07:38that is a painful place sometimes, you know.
00:07:42And you sing that with so much emotion
00:07:44and so much real emotion, you know, not bull.
00:07:48If Billie heard that, she would be like, bro.
00:07:52Yeah, I agree.
00:07:53Take the song.
00:07:54Like, I mean, what a genius spin on such a mega hit.
00:08:01You just made that completely Charlie.
00:08:05And I can see life and experience and pain.
00:08:11And I'm blown away by you.
00:08:14You're an artist.
00:08:16You're an idol.
00:08:17You're someone that we couldn't take our eyes off.
00:08:19And that is what we're looking for, right?
00:08:24That's the definition of what our job is.
00:08:26We have to keep you.
00:08:28Oh, thank you.
00:08:28This is the new standard of excellence.
00:08:31Wow.
00:08:31I'm going to jump in and give you the first yes.
00:08:35You need to.
00:08:36I don't think it's going to be an issue.
00:08:39I love the timbre of your voice.
00:08:42You know, you've got a really cool voice, man.
00:08:44It's beautiful.
00:08:45So it's a yes for me.
00:08:48You are fresh.
00:08:50You're real.
00:08:51You are an absolute contender for this show.
00:08:55It's a huge yes, Charlie.
00:08:56Well done.
00:08:57That was amazing.
00:08:59Thank you so much.
00:09:00I'll be thinking about it for the rest of the day.
00:09:02Oh, wow.
00:09:03Thank you so much.
00:09:04It means so much.
00:09:05You're welcome, Charlie.
00:09:05Let me shake your hand, Charlie.
00:09:07I thought that was great.
00:09:09So, bro, excellent.
00:09:11Excellent work.
00:09:11Go tell everyone.
00:09:13God bless you, Charlie.
00:09:14Thank you so much.
00:09:15You're welcome.
00:09:16Wow.
00:09:16Wow, that's so good.
00:09:20Wow.
00:09:22I think my mom, she would be really proud that, like, I'm giving something like this a go.
00:09:26She would definitely be in here clapping along.
00:09:30We called your dad.
00:09:32Yeah.
00:09:32We called your dad and he got to hear your audition.
00:09:35He was very happy.
00:09:35Good.
00:09:36He's a good chat, your dad.
00:09:37Yeah.
00:09:38Do you want to let him know the good news?
00:09:40Yeah, I'll do that.
00:09:43Hello.
00:09:44Hello, mate.
00:09:44It's me.
00:09:45Hello.
00:09:45How'd you do?
00:09:46Three yeses.
00:09:47So, in the running to get a golden ticket.
00:09:49Right.
00:09:50That's great.
00:09:51It's fantastic.
00:09:52You did really well.
00:09:53Your mother and I are very proud.
00:09:57Well done, Charlie.
00:09:58It's really, really good.
00:09:59Okay.
00:09:59Keep going.
00:10:00All right.
00:10:01See you, mate.
00:10:02Speak to you soon.
00:10:02Okay.
00:10:03Bye.
00:10:04Bye.
00:10:04Crying again, eh?
00:10:10I don't know what's going on here.
00:10:12Been through more tissues than I did when I was 15.
00:10:15Oh, man.
00:10:16I did when I was 15.
00:10:17Oh.
00:10:17With three yeses, Charlie becomes the first singer through to the waiting room.
00:10:34Oh.
00:10:34Then, at the end of the day, the judges must make the difficult choice of who will get
00:10:40a golden ticket and a place into top 30 week.
00:10:46Wow.
00:10:47Okay.
00:10:50Each year, the line of hopeful singers grows longer and longer, all looking to impress the
00:10:56judges when it's their turn to perform.
00:10:58Hi, I'm Harriet.
00:11:03I'm 19 years old from Perth, Western Australia.
00:11:09When I was younger, I always dreamed of being up on the stage.
00:11:15Like everyone.
00:11:21I was inspired by singer-songwriters.
00:11:23All of the artists that I really look up to have had to start somewhere, and I think
00:11:29that this could be my somewhere.
00:11:34Good luck in there.
00:11:35Good luck for you.
00:11:36Good luck for you.
00:11:37Thanks.
00:11:38Have fun.
00:11:39Good luck, honey.
00:11:40Woo-hoo.
00:11:41Here she goes.
00:11:45Get in here.
00:11:46Get in here.
00:11:47Get in here.
00:11:48Oh, God.
00:11:48She's going to be amazing.
00:11:49Was that really your first concert?
00:11:55It was, and then followed by the Screaming Jets.
00:11:59There was not a lot of options in Townsville.
00:12:01Bananarama and Screaming Jets.
00:12:03Mine was Jimi Hendrix.
00:12:04Oh, that's so cool.
00:12:10Hi.
00:12:11Hello.
00:12:12Hi there.
00:12:14How are you doing?
00:12:15I'm so good.
00:12:16How are you?
00:12:16Really good.
00:12:17You look great.
00:12:18You look really nice.
00:12:19Gosh, I appreciate it.
00:12:20What's your name and where are you from?
00:12:22I'm Harriet.
00:12:23I'm from Perth, Western Australia, sort of Fremantle area.
00:12:27Cool spot.
00:12:27I work, yeah, just as a bartender.
00:12:29Oh, so that's what you do for a living?
00:12:31Yeah.
00:12:31Well, I mean, I still live at home, so I'm not, like, paying rent or anything, but...
00:12:34Well, how old are you?
00:12:35I'm 19.
00:12:36Living in Frio, working, bringing in coin, and the dream is to be doing this for a living.
00:12:43Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:44Yeah, and what kind of performer do you want to be?
00:12:47Well, I think the performers that I really idolize are people like Olivia Rodrigo.
00:12:54I love, I mean, Taylor Swift's classic one.
00:12:56You look like a little mini Taylor.
00:12:59Curly hair and guitar.
00:13:01But I'll take it.
00:13:02Love that.
00:13:03So, have you chosen exactly what you want to sing today?
00:13:07Yes, I'm singing Scar by Missy Higgins.
00:13:10Great song.
00:13:11It's a very good song.
00:13:11But, you know, I want you to take your time when you're ready, okay?
00:13:15Thank you so much.
00:13:15You're welcome.
00:13:17I'm ready.
00:13:19She's got this.
00:13:20Yeah, you reckon she's going to be all right?
00:13:21Yeah.
00:13:22She's going to be fine.
00:13:23He left a card and a bar of soap and a scrubbing brush next to a note that said,
00:13:35Use these down to your bones.
00:13:39And before I knew I had shiny skin and it felt easy.
00:13:43Being clean like him, I thought this one knows better than I do.
00:13:47Ooh, triangle, trying to squeeze through a circle.
00:13:53He tried to cut me so I'd fit.
00:13:56Doesn't that sound familiar?
00:13:58Doesn't that hit you close to home?
00:14:01Doesn't that make you feel?
00:14:02Oh, so cool.
00:14:03Ever go that far?
00:14:05Could you leave me in the sky?
00:14:09Could you leave me in the sky?
00:14:12You've been realised just in time
00:14:17Although my old self was hard to find
00:14:19You can bathe me in your finest wine
00:14:22But I'll never give you mine
00:14:23Cause I'm a little bit tired
00:14:25Of feeling that I'll be the bad friend of what he buys
00:14:28Tell me, did you think we'd all dream the same?
00:14:38And doesn't that sound familiar?
00:14:40Doesn't that hit you close to home?
00:14:43Doesn't that make you shiver?
00:14:45The way things could have gone
00:14:47Doesn't it feel peculiar?
00:14:50Everyone wants a little more
00:14:52So that I do remember
00:14:53Never go that far
00:14:56Could you leave me with a sky?
00:15:04Could you leave me with a sky?
00:15:10Oh my god, thank you so much
00:15:20Because
00:15:20I don't know
00:15:22It just
00:15:22It was completely different
00:15:24But I loved that
00:15:25I thought it was amazing
00:15:27Thank you
00:15:27Just incredibly
00:15:28Genuinely effortless
00:15:30You're a delight to watch
00:15:32Thank you so much
00:15:33What are you, 19 years old?
00:15:34Yes
00:15:34I don't know what goes on in the water over in Perth
00:15:37A lot
00:15:37Cause they're pretty girls
00:15:38There's some good looking folks
00:15:39So it's pretty girls over there
00:15:40And boys
00:15:41And sharks
00:15:41They've got it all
00:15:42They've got it all
00:15:42That was
00:15:43You listen to Gracie Abrams, hey?
00:15:46Yes
00:15:46She I love as well
00:15:48Oh my god
00:15:49She's amazing
00:15:50Just that pacey
00:15:51That was really
00:15:52There's so much to love about that
00:15:54Thank you
00:15:54I mean
00:15:55It just ticks so many boxes
00:15:57But just that preparation
00:15:58You rehearsed
00:16:00And you didn't overcomplicate it for yourself
00:16:02Because you could focus on your voice
00:16:04I love someone who's ready
00:16:07You seem super, super ready
00:16:10Oh, that means a lot
00:16:11Thank you
00:16:12You know, and also, you know, you can belt
00:16:14Which was very, very impressive
00:16:16I didn't expect that
00:16:18Thank you
00:16:19Well, Harriet, this might come as a surprise to you
00:16:24But that was a fantastic audition
00:16:26I'm going to start off with your first yes
00:16:29Thank you
00:16:29It would be a privilege to have that voice in this contest
00:16:34And I think the bosses are going to really miss you
00:16:40With the bar girlfriend, you know
00:16:41So it's a yes from me too
00:16:43Thank you so much
00:16:45You're welcome
00:16:45Yeah, it's a yes from me too
00:16:47That was amazing

00:22:36I have now had a little
00:22:41for my own
00:22:43I'm so loud
00:22:45You do that once more.
00:22:48Sorry?
00:22:48You do that once more.
00:22:50You've got to hit a verse soon.
00:22:51Hit a verse.
00:22:52I didn't learn the verse.
00:22:53I figured you would want more
00:22:55and in order to get more
00:22:57you would have to put me through to the next round.
00:22:59Oh, it ain't that kind of part.
00:23:01Oh, this guy's got a plan.
00:23:03You've got a very high voice.
00:23:05I mean, but I'd like to hear
00:23:07what happens in the interim of all that voice.
00:23:09I can go low.
00:23:11I want to hear a bit of low.
00:23:12Do you want to hear a bit of low?
00:23:13Yeah, sure.
00:23:15Oh, no, no, no, different song.
00:23:17Different song.
00:23:18Different song.
00:23:19Please.
00:23:24I'm so lonely.
00:23:26Blake's got to leave now.
00:23:27Are you coming up to sing a duet?
00:23:29No, I'm going to get a coffee.
00:23:31What was that?
00:23:34Oh, really?
00:23:35You can't do this to me, please.
00:23:37It's a no from me, but thank you, Blake.
00:23:38I'm sorry, Blake.
00:23:39No from me.
00:23:40Thank you, Blake.
00:23:42If you're going to crawl out,
00:23:43crawl out towards 11 o'clock.
00:23:45There you go.
00:23:51The talent this year,
00:23:52it's been fascinating.
00:23:53A lot of rock,
00:23:54and I cannot be more excited.
00:23:57My name is Gabby.
00:24:07Hey, guys.
00:24:10Hello.
00:24:10Oh.
00:24:11Hello.
00:24:11Hey.
00:24:12I love whatever's going on here.
00:24:14That's good.
00:24:15Nice to meet you.
00:24:16What's your name?
00:24:17My name's Sarah.
00:24:18And what are you going to sing for us today?
00:24:19Today,
00:24:20our skater boy,
00:24:20Avril Lavigne.
00:24:21Good.
00:24:22I haven't heard that for a thousand years.
00:24:24Good song.
00:24:24But what a song.
00:24:25He was a skater boy,
00:24:27she said,
00:24:27see you later, boy.
00:24:29He wasn't good enough for her.
00:24:32She had a pretty face,
00:24:33but her head was up in space.
00:24:35She needed to come back down to earth.
00:24:40You know,
00:24:41I'm going to be honest at this point in time and say no.
00:24:43Yep.
00:24:44Is this what you really, really want to do?
00:24:46Yeah.
00:24:46Yeah, definitely.
00:24:47Okay, so I would suggest you have some lessons.
00:24:49No matter where you're from,
00:24:51or what genre you sing,
00:24:53it's still got to be idol-worthy.
00:24:55Is it cool to go to sleep on the floor?
00:24:58Yeah.
00:24:59And I think that I can take any more.
00:25:02Clowns to the left of me,
00:25:05jokers to the right,
00:25:07here I am stuck in the middle with you.
00:25:11I'm stuck in the middle with you.
00:25:15Horrible.
00:25:16Joyful song.
00:25:17Yes.
00:25:18Terrible execution.
00:25:21Piss-poor performance.
00:25:23No worries.
00:25:23Well, thank you very much, Jimmy.
00:25:25Thank you so much, man.
00:25:26Thank you for lighting up the day.
00:25:27Okay, next, please.
00:25:32Hey there, mate.
00:25:36How are you?
00:25:38Hi, I'm good, thanks.
00:25:39How are you?
00:25:39Very well.
00:25:40What's your name?
00:25:40My name is Achille.
00:25:42Achille?
00:25:42Yeah.
00:25:43I love that name.
00:25:43Thank you very much.
00:25:44Where are you from, buddy?
00:25:45Sydney.
00:25:46Okay.
00:25:47Yeah.
00:25:47And you sing, you obviously, you play.
00:25:49I have my own band.
00:25:51We're still on the rise, but...
00:25:53Oh, great.
00:25:53This is what I want to do.
00:25:54What's the band?
00:25:55What's the genre?
00:25:56Pop punk.
00:25:57Pop punk?
00:25:58Pop punk.
00:25:59Pop punk.
00:26:00Is that what you are?
00:26:01My kind of guy.
00:26:01Are you pop punk?
00:26:03I mean, that's where my inspiration comes from.
00:26:05Wow.
00:26:05Um, awesome, man.
00:26:07What's the band called?
00:26:08Where She Was.
00:26:09Where She Was.
00:26:10Yeah.
00:26:10I like that.
00:26:12Cool.
00:26:12And...
00:26:13Where was she?
00:26:14I don't know.
00:26:15She was with Who Dis.
00:26:17Yeah.
00:26:18How often do you guys play?
00:26:19We rehearse every week, and we're just trying to get gigs at the moment.
00:26:22What are you going to sing?
00:26:23I'm going to sing a Blink-182 song.
00:26:26Yes.
00:26:26I'm going to sing All the Small Things.
00:26:28Oh, my God.
00:26:28That's a beauty, that song.
00:26:30This is great.
00:26:30Okay, cool.
00:26:31Okay, Achille, when you're ready, my friend, let's see what you got.
00:26:36Achille, cool name.
00:26:37All the Small Things
00:26:52True care, true care, truth brings.
00:26:56I'll take one lift.
00:26:59You'll ride the best trip.
00:27:02Always, I know, you'll be at my show.
00:27:09Watching, waiting, commiserating.
00:27:14He's got a good voice.
00:27:24He does have a good voice.
00:27:26He's definitely got stage presence.
00:27:28Yeah.
00:27:28High energy.
00:27:28The night, come home.
00:27:31Work sucks, I know.
00:27:34She left me roses by the stairs.
00:27:38Surprises let me know she cares.
00:27:41See it ain't so.
00:27:42I will not go.
00:27:44Turn the lights off.
00:27:46Carry me home.
00:27:47Keep your head still.
00:27:49I'll be your fill.
00:27:50The night will go on.
00:27:52The night will go on.
00:27:53My little ring mail.
00:27:59Yeah!
00:28:00Yeah!
00:28:01Killing!
00:28:01Killing, killing it.
00:28:03Yes!
00:28:04Bro, cool as.
00:28:06Dude, how do you feel?
00:28:08I feel good.
00:28:10You know, you've got a real natural stance.
00:28:12I could see you with the band,
00:28:16and you've actually got a really nice tone.
00:28:19It's not fallen into that really nasally pop punk,
00:28:23sound, and it's...
00:28:25I don't know.
00:28:25I was really into that.
00:28:26I'm worried about what you guys think.
00:28:29What do you reckon, Carl?
00:28:31I...
00:28:32I thought it was very natural.
00:28:34It looked like this wasn't you pretending to be a rock star.
00:28:37I felt like it's a genuine slither that runs through your body.
00:28:42I was assuming it would be more gravelly and...
00:28:44But it was actually a sweeter version,
00:28:48and I think it really worked.
00:28:50Look, I...
00:28:51I don't know if it put you off,
00:28:52but I was filming a little bit of your audition.
00:28:55I know.
00:28:55You were filming it for him.
00:28:56I know all the guys from Blink.
00:28:58Yeah, I've seen...
00:28:59You've wrote songs with them.
00:29:00Yep.
00:29:00Wrote songs with all of them,
00:29:01and they're good friends of mine.
00:29:03So, I'm going to send that to the guys,
00:29:05and I'm also going to say yes.
00:29:09You need two yeses to get through.
00:29:10Would you like to know what I think?
00:29:12I would prefer to have just heard you stand there and sing,
00:29:20because that's great...
00:29:21You know, it's a smoke effect where, you know,
00:29:23you can hide behind it.
00:29:27Yeah.
00:29:27But your voice is fine.
00:29:29You need to know that, you know,
00:29:30and I can actually see you in a band.
00:29:33I think it's a yes for me, too.
00:29:35Oh, that's two yeses.
00:29:37Well, I'd go judge on this.
00:29:39Sound, style, is this person idle potential?
00:29:43Yes, yes, yes.
00:29:45So, it's a yes from me.
00:29:46Thank you guys so much.
00:29:47Three yeses.
00:29:48You're welcome.
00:29:49You come back to Sarvo.
00:29:50We hand out the golden tickets.
00:29:52Will you get one?
00:29:52We don't know.
00:29:54But good enough to have the option.
00:29:56Thanks, Achille.
00:29:57Excellent work, man.
00:29:57Achille.
00:29:58What a rock star name.
00:29:59I know.
00:29:59Thank you, Amy, Marsha, and Kyle.
00:30:01You're welcome, sir.
00:30:02Nice to meet you.
00:30:03No worries, man.
00:30:04I'll see you later on.
00:30:05See you guys later.
00:30:05Thanks, bro.
00:30:08Well, here it comes.
00:30:09Yeah!
00:30:11Yeah!
00:30:14What happened?
00:30:15I got yeses.
00:30:17Amazing.
00:30:17How many yeses?
00:30:18All of them.
00:30:19Whoa!
00:30:22Still to come.
00:30:23So, you're a star in Japan.
00:30:25I guess.
00:30:26A J-pop star enters the idle stage.
00:30:29Milkshake, milkshake, go down.
00:30:31And later, Marsha embarks on her Tasmanian secret mission.
00:30:37Marsha shows up out of nowhere.
00:30:39It's just made my year.
00:30:41Looking to secure a phenomenal voice that can turn the competition on its head.
00:30:47Your performance, I'll remember for a long time.
00:30:50But next, could this shy forklift operator...
00:30:54I was never, like, born a confident human.
00:30:56...have a voice that blows the judges away?
00:31:00Would you say it's, like, the most unusual voice so far?
00:31:10I'm Jacinta.
00:31:10I'm 25 years old, and I'm from Bacchus Marsh in Victoria.
00:31:13I'm a bit about myself.
00:31:25I'm just dreaming.
00:31:26Oh, sorry, I find these questions really hard.
00:31:31Um, what do you want to know, though?
00:31:35I'm a full-time forklift operator.
00:31:37My dream is to become an international artist, recording and releasing music, touring the world,
00:31:44because this is all I've wanted to do my entire life.
00:31:48This is your time.
00:31:50Take it away.
00:31:52Don't put too much pressure on yourself.
00:31:53Just breathe.
00:31:55I was never, like, born a confident human.
00:31:58It's something that I'm fighting, constantly questioning whether I'm good enough or whether
00:32:02I'm cut out for this.
00:32:05I feel as though I've had more no's than yeses, especially, you know, in singing.
00:32:09But they've led me in the right direction.
00:32:11They've led me to here.
00:32:12Let's do a little group hug.
00:32:14Love you, darling.
00:32:15Good luck.
00:32:16Good luck, darling.
00:32:17You've got this.
00:32:17Hey there, ready for you.
00:32:18Good luck.
00:32:19Bye.
00:32:21Next time.
00:32:22I know deep down and in my bones I can be the next Australian Idol because I've got
00:32:27what it takes, I've got something different, I've got something unique, and I'm ready for
00:32:30the world to see it.
00:32:34Hello.
00:32:37Howdy, howdy.
00:32:38Hello.
00:32:38Who do we have here?
00:32:40I'm Jacinta.
00:32:41I'm 25 years old and I'm from Bacchus Marsh in Victoria.
00:32:44Oh, cool.
00:32:45Awesome.
00:32:46What do you do there?
00:32:47I'm a forklift operator.
00:32:48Really?
00:32:49Whoa.
00:32:50Yeah.
00:32:50Cool, man.
00:32:51That's awesome.
00:32:51I did that for two weeks until I ploughed the forks into the side of the refrigerator.
00:32:56Oh.
00:32:56And then I was given the marching orders.
00:32:59Oh, my gosh.
00:33:00And are you doing the...
00:33:01Yeah, the pool, yep.
00:33:03Yeah, you've got the one arm and...
00:33:05Yeah.
00:33:06But you want to be an artist.
00:33:08I want to be an artist, that's why I'm here, yes.
00:33:10Okay.
00:33:11What are you going to perform?
00:33:12So I'm singing Somebody That I Used to Know by Got Here.
00:33:16Oh, cool.
00:33:16Oh, that's a beautiful song.
00:33:17Yeah.
00:33:18Great song.
00:33:18Shake off any nerves that you might have.
00:33:22This is your time to prove your artistry to us.
00:33:26Yep.
00:33:27All right, Jacinta.
00:33:28In your own time.
00:33:29Good luck.
00:33:31Okay.
00:33:31Now and then I think of when we were together.
00:33:49Like when you said you felt so happy you could die.
00:34:01I told myself that you're right for me.
00:34:06But I felt so lonely in your company.
00:34:09But that was love and it's a make.
00:34:12I still remember.
00:34:18But you didn't have to cut me off.
00:34:23Make it like it never happened in that way.
00:34:26We were nothing.
00:34:27I don't even need your love.
00:34:30But you treat me like a stranger and I feel so weird.
00:34:35And I don't want to live that way.
00:34:39Breathing into every word you say.
00:34:44You said that you could let it go.
00:34:47And I wouldn't catch you huddled on somebody that you used to know.
00:34:53Yeah, oh, I feel that.
00:34:59Goosebumps.
00:35:11She's so good.
00:35:13You don't need to cry.
00:35:14I know, but it's happy tears.
00:35:15She's amazing.
00:35:23Now you're just somebody that I used to know.
00:35:39How did that feel?
00:35:41Um, very surreal and crazy, but good.
00:35:45Good.
00:35:45Wow.
00:35:47I would agree.
00:35:49It was good.
00:35:50Different sort of tones, different sort of delivery to what I'm used to, um, but fabulous.
00:35:59You've got a lilting voice, you know, your voice just sort of floats in really beautifully
00:36:04and the air in your voice is lovely too, Jacinta.
00:36:08It's like just leaves floating around in the wind.
00:36:10It's quite crazy.
00:36:11It's a cool voice.
00:36:12It's really cool.
00:36:13It's really authentic and different, original.
00:36:16Yeah, okay, yeah.
00:36:17Which is exciting.
00:36:18How open are you to, uh, zhuzhing?
00:36:22Oh, yeah, I'm open.
00:36:24Yeah, I'm open to zhuzhing.
00:36:24Okay, great.
00:36:25Not that there's anything wrong with the way you look, but with this show you get the stylist,
00:36:31the makeup artist, the hair.
00:36:33We give you the whole package.
00:36:35Yeah.
00:36:35And I wasn't sure whether you would embrace that or whether you'd be like, no, no, I'm
00:36:40a dowdy forklift driver.
00:36:41We don't know you, right?
00:36:43You just are you, which is the trick.
00:36:47Not to be anybody else but yourself, Jacinta.
00:36:50Yeah.
00:36:50You know, and that was very beautiful.
00:36:52I'm going to cut to the chase.
00:36:53It's a yes from me.
00:36:55Thank you so much, Marcia.
00:36:56I'm going to give you a yes because I think you're fascinating.
00:37:01Thank you, Kyle.
00:37:01And excellent.
00:37:02Yes, it's a, it's a really unique voice.
00:37:05I, I'm going to have to say yes.
00:37:07Thank you, Amy.
00:37:08Yep.
00:37:08Three yeses, Jacinta.
00:37:10Next time we see you will be the Savo.
00:37:12Okay.
00:37:12Where we hand out the golden ticket.
00:37:14You either get one and move on or it's the end of the journey.
00:37:18Okay.
00:37:18So, good luck.
00:37:19Thank you so much.
00:37:21Thank you, Jacinta.
00:37:22Well done.
00:37:22I really appreciate you coming.
00:37:23Thank you so much for having me.
00:37:24It was a great to watch.
00:37:25It was lovely to meet all of you.
00:37:27You too.
00:37:27Good luck.
00:37:27Thanks so much.
00:37:30Who's there wasting away as a forklift driver there?
00:37:33Yeah.
00:37:33Isn't that talented?
00:37:34I know.
00:37:35Pretty cool.
00:37:35Crazy.
00:37:37Oh, darling, dry your eyes.
00:37:40It'll be all right.
00:37:41Just look to the sky.
00:37:42I got three yeses.
00:37:43Yay!
00:37:46Oh, my God.
00:37:48Come on, darling.
00:37:49Congratulations.
00:37:50Thank you so much.
00:37:51Congratulations.
00:37:52We're going to start crying.
00:37:54Crazy.
00:37:55Like, I could feel my legs quivering.
00:37:57I was really channeling all those hard times and no's and I tried to put all that emotion
00:38:01into the song I was singing.
00:38:03Three yeses.
00:38:04Three yeses.
00:38:04How good is that?
00:38:05Congratulations.
00:38:06Thank you so much.
00:38:07Go celebrate, guys.
00:38:08Nice to meet you.
00:38:10Still to come.
00:38:11Oh, bro.
00:38:12Hello.
00:38:13Hi.
00:38:13Look at you.
00:38:14Come a-rippling in the door like a crab.
00:38:16Amy is lost for words.
00:38:18Um, so show me what you're- sorry, I was about to say show me what you're working with.
00:38:22I mean your guitar.
00:38:24And a J-pop superstar arrives at Idol HQ.
00:38:32We went to Korea.
00:38:34We did Rolling Stone live in Japan.
00:38:37Looking to conquer the competition.
00:38:40I'm expecting big things.
00:38:41Then later, a final judgment that no one saw coming.
00:38:47I think you've stripped the emotion out.
00:39:02It's after lunch on day two of auditions and our judges are preparing for the afternoon session.
00:39:08What's happened?
00:39:10Did an extension come bung?
00:39:12No way.
00:39:12Do you have extensions?
00:39:13No, it's all real.
00:39:14I love that.
00:39:15Me too.
00:39:16Real.
00:39:16Yeah, until you grab it by the back of the hair and half her hair falls out.
00:39:19LAUGHTER
00:39:19With the waiting room filling up, Charlie, Harriet, Achille and Jacinta are now all in the running for a priceless golden ticket.
00:39:35Ah, it's so close.
00:39:37It's just, it's right there.
00:39:38So close, yet so far.
00:39:40Literally.
00:39:42Will our next singer have what it takes to join them?
00:39:46I'm stoked to have you guys all here.
00:39:48And you've got a great voice.
00:39:49I remember when you used to have that nickname, Mr. Husk.
00:39:53LAUGHTER
00:39:53Thanks for reminding me, Dad.
00:39:57I'm Daniel.
00:39:58I'm 32 and I'm from Sydney.
00:40:00My dad is the most supportive person of my music.
00:40:04And the only compliment that ever meant anything to me was when he would say, you've just got such a great voice.
00:40:13For some reason, I just know he means it.
00:40:18Welcome to Australian Idol.
00:40:19Why have you decided today's the day?
00:40:21We've been pushing him.
00:40:23Yeah.
00:40:23Dad's been giving you the nudge, has he?
00:40:25Dad has been...
00:40:25Plenty of nudges.
00:40:27And why's that, Dad?
00:40:28Because he's really got an awesome voice.
00:40:31The songs that he writes, they're just awesome.
00:40:33They're too good to stay hidden.
00:40:35My dad was a musician who shared this same dream as me when he was my age.
00:40:41And I think it would be really cool to live that for both of us.
00:40:47Hey.
00:40:48Oh, bro.
00:40:49Hello.
00:40:49Hi.
00:40:49Look at you.
00:40:50Come rippling in the door like a crab.
00:40:53How are you, buddy?
00:40:53What's your name?
00:40:54My name's Daniel.
00:40:55Daniel, nice to meet you.
00:40:56Kyle, Marsha, Amy.
00:40:57Nice to meet you, Daniel.
00:40:58Look at the body, ladies.
00:41:00Wow.
00:41:01How old are you, Daniel?
00:41:02I am 32 years old.
00:41:03Are you married?
00:41:04I am not married.
00:41:05Oh, no.
00:41:06I'm cutting to the chase.
00:41:08I mean, you know, like, this is national television.
00:41:10Everybody's going to see you.
00:41:11Um, so show me what you're, sorry.
00:41:14How about I say show me what you're working with?
00:41:15I mean your guitar.
00:41:17How cool are those fenders, by the way?
00:41:19They're so good.
00:41:20I love them.
00:41:21I love it.
00:41:21So what are you going to sing?
00:41:23I am singing Without You by David Guetta and Usher.
00:41:27Oh, cool.
00:41:28All right.
00:41:29Yes.
00:41:30Let's bump a mic in for Daniel, please.
00:41:34I can.
00:41:35Oh.
00:41:36Yes from me.
00:41:38That's it.
00:41:39That's all I need.
00:41:40That's actually my version.
00:41:43Short and sharp.
00:41:45Daniel, take your time whenever you're ready.
00:41:50I can't win.
00:42:01I can't win.
00:42:03I can't reign.
00:42:04I will never win this game without you.
00:42:10I won't run.
00:42:21I won't fly.
00:42:24I will never make it by without you.
00:42:31Without you.
00:42:32Without you.
00:42:44Without you.
00:42:48I won't climb, I lost my heart, I lost my mind without you, without you.
00:43:02I think I'm more medicine than he is.
00:43:04I am too.
00:43:05That's alright.
00:43:06That's when I look, cause I'm so blind, I lost my heart, I lost my mind without you.
00:43:18Without you, without you.
00:43:32You know what I really liked is when you screwed up the chord, I saw a bit of myself because
00:43:38I do that all the time and I always make sure I finish even stronger.
00:43:42You ended so strong after that, didn't make a fuss of it, just got back on track, found
00:43:48where you were on the fretboard.
00:43:49I really enjoyed that, Daniel.
00:43:52What do you reckon, Kyle?
00:43:53I wasn't expecting my favourite, like, party, like, Ibiza-style song to also be now a song
00:44:00I could hear played at my funeral.
00:44:03Oh, you were a bit bored.
00:44:03Because the emotion was different.
00:44:05Same verse, same words, different vibe.
00:44:09Beautifully done.
00:44:10Thank you so much.
00:44:11I'm going to start off with a yes.
00:44:13Wow.
00:44:13I have a question, if you don't mind.
00:44:16Did you sing that for somebody?
00:44:18Uh, I was just thinking a lot about my dad and how we shared this dream.
00:44:27Oh, that's cool.
00:44:28Well, he wanted to be a singer.
00:44:29Oh, that's beautiful.
00:44:30And, uh, yeah.
00:44:32You know, Daniel, you come off so tough, but so smooth and so kind, which is a lovely...
00:44:40Very similar to...
00:44:42It's uncanny, the resemblance, right?
00:44:46That's a beautiful attribute on your part.
00:44:50Well, I've given you a yes.
00:44:51You need two to get through.
00:44:52It's a yes for me.
00:44:53Oh, there's a second.
00:44:54It's hard to get a word in sometimes.
00:44:56You notice, right?
00:44:57I would like to say yes.
00:44:59Amazing.
00:44:59So you got three yeses.
00:45:01Well done, Daniel.
00:45:02Fabulous.
00:45:03Next time we see you, we'll be handing out golden tickets.
00:45:06You either get one or you don't.
00:45:07And then the idle journey either starts or finishes.
00:45:09Okay.
00:45:09So good luck to Saba.
00:45:10Well done, man.
00:45:11Cool.
00:45:11Thanks, Dan.
00:45:11You're nice to meet you, man.
00:45:12Yeah, no worries.
00:45:13Well done.
00:45:14See you.
00:45:17Oh, it was yes.
00:45:25Give me a song.
00:45:26Great job.
00:45:27He's amazing.
00:45:28See you.
00:45:28Bye.
00:45:29I'm so proud of you.
00:45:31Yeah.
00:45:35I come and I go.
00:45:37Catch me or I go.
00:45:40What judge are you most excited to sing for?
00:45:42Ooh.
00:45:44Kyle.
00:45:45I wish I could go in there and just, I'd love to see Marsha.
00:45:48It's kind of like meeting Diana Ross.
00:45:51Who's that?
00:45:52Is that Princess Diana?
00:45:54No, Diana Ross.
00:45:55I'm Hannah.
00:45:56I'm 18.
00:45:57I'm from Japan.
00:45:58I would describe myself as funny, bubbly, outgoing.
00:46:08Hey, my dad's from Australia.
00:46:13My mom and dad moved to Japan.
00:46:15I was born and raised in Japan my whole life.
00:46:17This is not my first time being in this kind of situation.
00:46:21When I was 14, I was chosen to be the member of the J-pop girl group.
00:46:26The group was called Moontile.
00:46:34We went to Korea to do this big stage.
00:46:37We did Rolling Stone live in Japan, which was pretty big.
00:46:40Having fans was really nice.
00:46:43I really would love to become a solo artist, and I think this is the perfect opportunity
00:46:50to become one.
00:46:52So you're a star in Japan.
00:46:54I guess.
00:46:55Yeah?
00:46:55But you're ready to go out on your own.
00:46:56Yeah.
00:46:57This is your solo artist moment.
00:46:59Yeah.
00:46:59So go on there and show us you are a pop star.
00:47:02I will.
00:47:02All right.
00:47:03Next, please.
00:47:09Hello.
00:47:10Oh, hi there.
00:47:12Hi.
00:47:12Look at you, you bright, colourful, lovely girl.
00:47:16What's your name?
00:47:17Hannah.
00:47:18What brings you here, Hannah?
00:47:19I used to be in a band in Japan, and now that's Finnish, I wanted to pursue my solo career.
00:47:26So hang on.
00:47:27When was this band?
00:47:28Is it J-pop?
00:47:30Yeah.
00:47:30J-pop.
00:47:31Okay.
00:47:31So that's huge.
00:47:33Yeah.
00:47:33K-pop, J-pop.
00:47:34Yeah.
00:47:34Everyone loves that.
00:47:35Yes, we do.
00:47:36So did the band get to a certain level?
00:47:39We did a lot of things.
00:47:41I was in big stages.
00:47:43Like how big were the stages?
00:47:46Huge, like stadiums and stuff, and it was amazing.
00:47:49Wow.
00:47:49Okay, so you've had a good taste.
00:47:53Yeah.
00:47:54And now you're ready to start your solo career.
00:47:56Yeah.
00:47:56I want to see if I'm good on my own.
00:47:59Okay.
00:47:59All right.
00:48:00Yeah.
00:48:01What are you going to sing?
00:48:02Domino by Jessie J.
00:48:04Okay.
00:48:04Yeah.
00:48:05Good choice.
00:48:06Well, Hannah, in your own time.
00:48:09I'm expecting big things since you've already delved into this area.
00:48:14I'll try to.
00:48:15Yeah.
00:48:15Do your best.
00:48:17I'm feeling sexy and free, like glitters raining on me.
00:48:36Cool hair.
00:48:37Cool hair.
00:48:37Yeah.
00:48:38Really cool hair.
00:48:40She's nailing that.
00:48:41I think I'm about to explode.
00:48:46I can taste the tension like a cloud and smoke in the air.
00:48:50Now I'm breathing like I'm running cause you're taking me there.
00:48:54Don't you know?
00:48:56You spin me out of control.
00:48:58Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:49:02We can do this all night.
00:49:05Damn, this love is skin tight.
00:49:07Baby, come on.
00:49:10Boom it like the bass drum.
00:49:12Sparking up a rhythm.
00:49:14Baby, come on.
00:49:17Fuck my world into the sunlight.
00:49:21Make this dream come stop and go.
00:49:24Dirty dancing in the moonlight.
00:49:29Take me down like I'm a domino.
00:49:33Every second is a highlight.
00:49:36When we touch, don't ever let me go.
00:49:40Dirty dancing in the moonlight.
00:49:44Take me down like I'm a domino.
00:49:50Thank you so much.
00:49:52Okay, how did you think that went?
00:49:55Good.
00:49:57What did you think, ladies?
00:49:58Tough song.
00:49:59That's a tough song.
00:50:00Yeah.
00:50:01You know, and I heard you when you fell off your note a couple times.
00:50:05Yeah.
00:50:06It's an interesting thing because you were with a girl band and with other people on stage,
00:50:10including me with musicians.
00:50:12There's a great security that you get being and working with other people.
00:50:16And then there you stand on your own trying to be, you know, a solo performer.
00:50:22It ain't easy.
00:50:24You know what I mean?
00:50:24What do you reckon, Ames?
00:50:25It's weird.
00:50:26It was like, um...
00:50:28Lackluster.
00:50:29Disconnected.
00:50:30It was very paid by numbers.
00:50:31Yeah, it was very like...
00:50:31Very disconnected.
00:50:33Do you feel like you've got more energy in the tank?
00:50:36I feel like I was, like, really obsessed with hitting the notes and I wasn't really in it, but I could do better.
00:50:42What we noticed, that's what we felt.
00:50:44What do you guys want to do?
00:50:45I'm willing to think that since you've already done this before, you can take that criticism and make the required changes, so I'm going to give you a yes.
00:50:57Thank you so much.
00:50:58You've got one, you need two.
00:51:01I think it's an energy thing on your part.
00:51:03The energy you would have gotten from the other girls would have just made you puff, you know what I mean?
00:51:07Like, and I get that when I work with a band and the members of my band, they give me energy to push me forward.
00:51:14Do you have more energy to give, do you think?
00:51:16Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:51:18Okay?
00:51:18Yeah.
00:51:19I buy it.
00:51:20And it's a yes for me, huh?
00:51:22You only need two yeses.
00:51:23Thank you so much.
00:51:24Make the changes.
00:51:25We want to see stars on that stage.
00:51:27Stronger, stronger.
00:51:28We want to get to know you, you know?
00:51:30Yeah.
00:51:30We just want to see who you are.
00:51:32Yes.
00:51:32All right.
00:51:32Yeah.
00:51:33Okay, well, we'll see you when we hand our golden tickets.
00:51:35Hopefully, your mission is to get one of those to get through to the next round.
00:51:41Thank you so much.
00:51:41Nice to meet you.
00:51:42Well done.
00:51:42Nice to meet you.
00:51:43Thank you, Hannah.
00:51:43Thank you so much.
00:51:44Well done.
00:51:44Good luck for the salvo.
00:51:45Thank you so much.
00:51:49That was nice.
00:51:50It's a tough one, hey?
00:51:50Yeah, it was tough, but to have that genre represented in Australian Idol, I'm all the way live with
00:51:55that.
00:51:56Still to come.
00:51:57In the history of Australian Idol, no one from Tasmania has won, and I think it's high time.
00:52:05Marsha's search gets messy.
00:52:07If you're not careful, you can wear the crap.
00:52:11Does that explain it?
00:52:12Mining for her wild card diamond.
00:52:14The bottom line is, I'm going to audition you both, but I can only bring one of you back
00:52:19to Idol HQ.
00:52:21And later, pop punk rocker Achille.
00:52:25Going into judgment, I'm terrified.
00:52:27Soul singer Charlie.
00:52:29The anticipation's killing me.
00:52:30Together with the day's standout performers, I have so much more to show and give.
00:52:37All by for a coveted golden ticket.
00:52:39This year, the judges are going from the sea to the land.
00:52:53We're looking for the next Australian Idol.
00:52:55No pressure.
00:52:57To find wild card contestants.
00:52:59And for Marsha, she is flying to a place we've never been to.
00:53:05Tasmania is wild, beautiful.
00:53:07And so far in the history of Australian Idol.
00:53:11No one from Tasmania has won.
00:53:15And I think it's high time.
00:53:22I think it's absolutely beautiful.
00:53:24so green and lush so now I'm on my way to meet two singers here in Devon poor I love the idle
00:53:34road trips because I just really like surprising people when they don't expect me to turn up in
00:53:38their office or their place of work I think that's fun can I help you yes please I'm looking for
00:53:49Mason Mason yeah you're in luck Mason's in the truckie thank you hey Mason hi hi I'm great I'm

00:57:03our lives I just want to get in there I just want to perform I just want to show not only the the
00:57:09judges but show Australia what I can do so these caves started forming 30 to 40 million years ago the
00:57:20acoustics and the sounds that your voices will make in this cave will be utterly amazing the bottom line

00:58:18I poison myself again something in the orange tells me you're never coming home
00:58:25if you live today I'll just stare at the way the orange touches all things around
00:58:34grass trees and dew oh I just hate you please turn those headlights around
00:58:43yeah nicely done thank you well done okay next victim yeah no pressure no pressure whatsoever so
00:59:05look when you're ready I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord

00:59:35oh boy I know the reason why you can't be silent son no you don't fool me but if the hurt
00:59:48doesn't show the pain still rolls some stranger to you and me I can feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord
01:00:07oh lord can you feel it in the air tonight oh lord oh lord can you feel it coming in the air tonight oh lord oh lord
01:00:29nice you went to work today thinking it was going to be a normal day and this is anything but and for that
01:00:42I really dig that you turned up and you did this I really do thank you I love doing Australian Idol but this
01:00:49is the bit I really don't like Craig the heart and the believability in your performance
01:00:58I'll remember for a long time when you're singing to people all girls want to think you're singing it to him
01:01:04you know you all girls want to think you know so when you're performing instead of looking over my shoulder and
01:01:10at the cave look at me you know not for too long because your wife will kill you but you know like you have to
01:01:15just sort of lock yourself and bring something of yourself when it comes to performing okay that's my little note to you
01:01:23yep okay Mason that was a great choice I love Phil Collins it's a great song and to hear it acapella
01:01:32is a great idea yeah you know especially in this yeah you got a fine voice and you go to places in your
01:01:38voice that worry me because you can't sustain that that kind of growling place that you found it's cool
01:01:45and you know think about it like salt and pepper you know use a little bit you shouldn't use a lot
01:01:50of it yeah thank you both for coming and auditioning for me today my choice today
01:02:02is going to be you Mason you'll be coming thank you man thank you you're more god bless you
01:02:08I honestly don't have any words like honestly I'm a guy that works at a quarry this kind of stuff doesn't
01:02:13happen to people like me so Mason I want to congratulate you for getting this far so I'll
01:02:18see you in Sydney I want to make sure that I go back and I'll take what Marsha said and
01:02:25and just improve on it and make sure that I'm ready to go yeah I don't know what my workmates are going
01:02:29to think but I can't wait to tell them
01:02:34next after just the second day of auditions standards are sky high with seven phenomenal
01:02:42singers being uncovered who bring them in we'll make it through you all sounded so fantastic to

01:02:59as day two of auditions comes to an end hey guys Marsha's wild card pick Mason joins the waiting room
01:03:16and nerves are starting to build I'm looking at that golden ticket it's a bit daunting
