00:09:50I have to say, like, there's a fine balance between, you know, parenthood, hustling,
00:09:56and, you know, being who you are, and that can be a struggle.
00:09:59Absolutely.
00:09:59And we got to see a glimpse of that and that performance.

00:10:27All of them.
00:10:28Wow.
00:10:28Wow.
00:10:29For them to respond how they did, it just, like, solidifies everything I've worked for.
00:10:36So, it's really good.
00:10:40That was awesome.
00:10:42That was an audition we will never forget.
00:10:44Never forget.
00:10:44That's true.
00:10:45Next, please.
00:10:46Good luck, whoever this is.
00:10:49Hi.
00:10:50Hello.
00:10:51Hi there.
00:10:52Hi.
00:10:52What's your name?
00:10:53My name's Lord Lucas.
00:10:54Lord Lucas.
00:10:55Yeah.
00:10:56All right, let's do it.
00:10:58I'm ready.
00:10:58Lord Luke.
00:11:01All right, let's get busy, yo.
00:11:03Check it.
00:11:04Yo, I just want to make you smile.
00:11:05I want to throw you like Michael.
00:11:07I want to kiss you like Prince.
00:11:10Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye.
00:11:12Like Hathaway.
00:11:13Write a song for you like this.
00:11:15I'm over my head.
00:11:16I'm out of my mind.
00:11:18Thinking I was born in the wrong time.
00:11:20It's love on rewind.
00:11:21Everything is so throwbackish.
00:11:24Baby, you're so classic.
00:11:26Oh, I think, oh!
00:11:29Oh, damn.
00:11:31Oh, you wow.
00:11:32Luke.
00:11:33You don't have, like, the best singing voice.
00:11:36Yeah.
00:11:36And there wasn't much melody even in the rap.
00:11:40I mean, we should probably have told Jess this.
00:11:42The level is already very high.
00:11:44Yeah, the bar's been set.
00:11:45Yeah, yeah.
00:11:45For me, it's going to be a no.
00:11:47Easy, easy.
00:11:48You look, the energy you brought in is very positive,
00:11:50and we thank you for that.
00:11:52But it's a no for me.
00:11:53The hardest thing for me about being a judge
00:11:56is that I have to learn to say no.
00:12:01That's not in my DNA.
00:12:02I thought of your body.
00:12:05I came alive.
00:12:08But I woke up every time.
00:12:15Oh, baby.
00:12:18Um.
00:12:20I think you have the desire and the passion.
00:12:25Um, you were really great in the chorus,
00:12:27and then you just slightly lost, um, pitch.
00:12:31Um.
00:12:33Mm.
00:12:35I'm a genie and a bottle.
00:12:38You gotta rub me the right way.
00:12:41I'm a genie and a bottle, baby.
00:12:44Come and come.
00:12:46Come on and let me out.
00:12:50Talk to me, talk to me.
00:12:52Um.
00:12:52Big decision, Jess.
00:12:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:55You were better than others.
00:12:58But I think there's, um, you know.
00:13:02Jess has the voice of an angel and the heart to match.
00:13:05Coming on here is so brave.
00:13:07But when it comes to Jess saying no to someone,
00:13:10she sucks.
00:13:12Thank you so much for showing up today.
00:13:14And, um.
00:13:14Yeah.
00:13:15Yeah, sorry.
00:13:16Unfortunately, it's a no for me.
00:13:17That's all good.
00:13:18Lovely to meet you all.
00:13:19Thank you, Maureen.
00:13:19You're welcome.
00:13:20Oh.
00:13:20Oh, oh, oh.
00:13:21Oh, God.
00:13:23Dare we say it.

00:13:26Hello.
00:13:28Oh, I can see some nervous little hands.
00:13:29Oh, there's nerves, there's nerves, there's nerves.
00:13:31Give me a hug.
00:13:32Oh.
00:13:34How are you feeling?
00:13:35A bit nervous.
00:13:35A little bit nervous.
00:13:36A little bit anxious.
00:13:37But I'm glad my friends are here.
00:13:39Yes, you've got your number one fan right here.
00:13:41Yes, my sister.

00:13:59Hi, I'm Tayo.
00:14:01I'm 50 and I'm from Manly.
00:14:03On the weekends, I really love surfing with friends
00:14:05and also going busking on the Corsa.
00:14:08Ooh, Mr. Electric Blue, I want to dance like you.
00:14:16I busk about once a week or maybe once a fortnight,
00:14:19depending on the weather.
00:14:21I love busking, especially just seeing the people walking by
00:14:24that just stop and then they just watch you.
00:14:27Sometimes they smile, sometimes they dance,
00:14:28sometimes they sing along.
00:14:29And I think that's really the best part.
00:14:31Thank you so much.
00:14:32And also I can get money.
00:14:33So I can buy ice cream after.
00:14:36Say how.
00:14:36Super exciting.
00:14:37Yeah, oh, no, it's dripping, it's dripping, it's dripping.
00:14:41Oh, hello, young man.

00:14:56Do you perform much or, like, where do you perform?
00:14:59Yeah, so I'm actually a busker
00:15:01and I've been busking ever since I was six years old
00:15:04and with all the money that I've earned,
00:15:06I've kind of, you know, got better equipment.
00:15:10You're as cute as a button.
00:15:11Oh, thank you.
00:15:13Taya, what does your family think of your musicality
00:15:15and what you want to do?
00:15:16I think definitely my whole family really supports me,
00:15:19especially my sister.
00:15:21She always comes to me and busking.
00:15:22Is that your youngest sister?
00:15:23Yes.
00:15:24Oh, that's so sweet.
00:15:26So, what are you going to perform today?
00:15:29Today I'll be performing the song by Bruno Mars,

00:17:43actual proper musician at 15.

00:17:57What do you think, Jess?
00:18:01I was just so, like, I was so giddy.
00:18:04As soon as you, like, open your mouth and you sung and there were just, like, these beautiful,
00:18:08like, little round trills that you were doing.
00:18:12You're just, like, so incredibly young to be this talented.
00:18:17But so were you.
00:18:18Jess 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.
00:18:26Every now and then, Marsha, you get someone who you're like, okay, Jess, we're, we're gonna
00:18:32say yes to.
00:18:33But she's really young.
00:18:35Mm-hmm.
00:18:36Yes.
00:18:37Is he too young?
00:18:43A no.
00:18:45You know, people say, oh, people are too young to do this.
00:18:48People, this is your calling, my brother.
00:18:51Oh, thank you.
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
00:19:01me 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.
00:19:10Thank you so much.
00:19:12Your passion and your desire has gone all into this audition, this moment that you have
00:19:18been waiting for.
00:19:19So, it's a, a big yes from me.
00:19:22Oh, thank you so much.
00:19:24It's a yes from me too, dude.
00:19:25Thank you so much.
00:19:26Thank you all.
00:19:27That's so good.
00:19:28So, we're gonna see you later on today.
00:19:29Look, and you never know.
00:19:30Yeah.
00:19:30Later on in the day, you might get one of these golden tickets.
00:19:33Hopefully.
00:19:34You never know.
00:19:35Hopefully.
00:19:35Do you have family here?
00:19:37Can I possibly meet your family with you?
00:19:40They'll be delighted.
00:19:40Are you kidding me?
00:19:41Oh my gosh.
00:19:42Let's.
00:19:43Give me footsteps.
00:19:45We got footsteps.
00:19:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:48Yes.
00:19:49Oh, yeah.
00:19:52Oh.
00:19:57Hi.
00:19:58Honestly.
00:19:58Who is this guy?
00:20:00How are you?
00:20:00Who is this guy?
00:20:03Three yeses.
00:20:04I'm so excited.
00:20:05I'm so relieved.
00:20:07Oh, but I was so nervous just while speaking.
00:20:10I was so nervous.
00:20:11And then when I played, oh, it just all went away.
00:20:15And I managed to play well.
00:20:17Jess, you're our lucky little star here.
00:20:18You're good.
00:20:18It's so nice to know you here.
00:20:20Honestly, thank 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.
00:20:28Coming up.
00:20:30Jess gets put to the test by the full range of talent
00:20:34with talent on offer.
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36I'm ready for this.
00:20:37I 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.
00:20:47And Marsha puts Jess on the spot.
00:20:52Come on, Jess.
00:20:53You gotta say yes.
00:20:54Come on.
00:20:55Just say yes, Jess.
00:20:56I can hear the potential in your voice.
00:20:58But...
00:20:59I'm going to find him.
00:21:13Coming from a small town like Darwin,
00:21:18I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could do this.
00:21:23But my audition changed my life forever.
00:21:29I really believe that it doesn't matter where you come from.
00:21:33If you have talent, Idle will unearth that.
00:21:37And if you don't try, you will never know.
00:21:46Australian autumn, baby.
00:21:47Here we go.
00:21:48It is an immaculate day here.
00:21:51Look at all these people lining up.
00:21:53We're going to have a mad day.
00:21:55And we're going to rock some judges, aren't we?
00:21:56It's going to be absolutely...
00:21:57Oh, not you.
00:21:57I am.
00:21:58I'll support you.
00:21:59We're going to have an amazing time.
00:22:01I'm Vince.
00:22:02I'm 25.
00:22:03And I'm from Hawkesbury.
00:22:04Have you ever been called a larrity before?
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:07A lot.
00:22:10Very down to earth.
00:22:13We're then also a bit crazy sometimes.
00:22:16I can't believe this guy's going on Australian Idol.
00:22:20Like, crazy, isn't it?
00:22:22Cheers.
00:22:24It's all happening.
00:22:26You going to win?
00:22:27Oh, hopefully.
00:22:28Bloody hope, I can win Australian Idol.
00:22:31I've always dreamed of being a country artist.
00:22:35If I could, I'd never get off the stage.
00:22:38I'm moving constantly up there.
00:22:40If I don't have a microphone that's connected to a cord,
00:22:42and it's cordless, I'm everywhere.
00:22:44Australian Idol would be the next step for me.
00:22:49I really want to make this a full-time gig,
00:22:51and I think it'd just be amazing.
00:22:58Hi.
00:22:59Oh, hello.
00:23:00Yee-haw.
00:23:01Hello there.
00:23:01Howdy, howdy.
00:23:03How are you?
00:23:04Good.
00:23:04How are you?
00:23:05I'm very well.
00:23:06Very well, thank you.
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:07What's your name?
00:23:08Where are you from?
00:23:09Tell me everything.
00:23:09My name's Vince Phillips.
00:23:11I'm 25 years old, and I'm from the Hawkesbury, New South Wales.
00:23:14Oh, I'm excited.
00:23:15We are ready.
00:23:16Are you ready?
00:23:17But a country didn't hurt.
00:23:18A hundred percent.
00:23:19Is it a country?
00:23:20It's a country?
00:23:21A hundred percent.
00:23:21What are you, sorry, what?
00:23:23Remind me, what are you singing?
00:23:26I'm singing Billie Rae Cyrus, Achy Breaky Heart.
00:23:29Oh, you better sing.
00:23:30Yeah.
00:23:31Look, honestly, I'm a country girl at heart.
00:23:34Good.
00:23:34I grew up singing country music.
00:23:36I have evidence because my mother, my mother sent me a photo the other day, and it is hilarious.
00:23:43Here it is.
00:23:44Look at me.
00:23:45Look at me with my country attire on.
00:23:48That's great.
00:23:48With my dad.
00:23:49Oh, my God.
00:23:50And I'm about to go and sing country music.
00:23:52That's great.
00:23:53We love to hear it.
00:23:54So I'm with you.
00:23:54You have my support.
00:23:55I'm ready for this.
00:23:57All right.
00:23:58Let's Achy break the heart.
00:24:00We will.
00:24:00Achy break my heart.
00:24:02Oh.
00:24:02I'm kidding.
00:24:03I'm sorry.
00:24:05Stop it.
00:24:05I usually have to do it with Marsha.
00:24:06Stop it.
00:24:07Stop it.
00:24:08Bad me.
00:24:09Bad me.
00:24:10Stop it, Marsha.
00:24:11Okay.
00:24:12All right, Vince.
00:24:13Let's do this.
00:24:13Let's do this.
00:24:19You can tell the world you never was my girl.
00:24:23You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone.
00:24:27Or you can tell your friends what a fool I've been.
00:24:31And laugh and joke about me on the phone.
00:24:33You can tell my arms go back to the phone.
00:24:39You can tell my fruits will hit the floor.
00:24:42You can tell my lips.
00:24:45Tell my fingertips.
00:24:46It won't be reaching out for you no more.
00:24:49Hey.
00:24:50But don't tell my heart my achy and breaking heart.
00:24:53Oh, the hippy, hippy-pips.
00:24:55Yeah.
00:24:55They don't understand.
00:24:58And if you tell my heart my achy-breaking heart.
00:25:02And I blow up and kill this man.
00:25:05Woo!
00:25:05You can tell your mom.
00:25:08I moved to Arkansas.
00:25:10You can tell your dog about my life.
00:25:12Blast.
00:25:13I tell your brother, babe.
00:25:15Cause this can tear my hair.
00:25:17You never really liked me anyway.
00:25:20Come on, together now.
00:25:21Don't tell my heart my achy-breaky heart.
00:25:25I just don't think you'd understand it.
00:25:29And if you tell my heart my achy-breaking heart.
00:25:33If I blow up and kill this man.
00:25:37Woo!
00:25:37Woo!
00:25:38That's so nice.
00:25:39Woo!
00:25:40Whoa!
00:25:44Yes!
00:25:45Yee-haw!
00:25:46Yee-haw!
00:25:47Okay.
00:25:48I love those moves that you got there.
00:25:51A little side-to-side step.
00:25:53That song just made me want to get up and line dance.
00:25:56Yeah.
00:25:56You line dance?
00:25:57I line dance.
00:25:57Can you line dance?
00:25:58I love line dancing.
00:25:59Show me, prove it.
00:26:00I need to know it now.
00:26:01Do you want to see some line dancing?
00:26:02Yeah.
00:26:02Are you sure?
00:26:03100%.
00:26:03I want to see some line dancing.
00:26:05Come on.
00:26:06Play the track.
00:26:07Play it.
00:26:07Oh, here we go.
00:26:08Come on.
00:26:08Oh, damn.
00:26:09You ready?
00:26:11You ready?
00:26:11Taste me.
00:26:13It's a Melboy takeover here.
00:26:16Oh, are we going back?
00:26:18Oh, my God.
00:26:19She does.
00:26:20She's doing it in heels, guys.
00:26:23Woo!
00:26:24Jess, do horn dance, everyone.
00:26:26Oh, this is amazing.
00:26:29Yes.
00:26:30No, no.
00:26:31I think all that horn dance.
00:26:33Stop.
00:26:34Stop.
00:26:35Oh, thank you.
00:26:36Oh, thank you.
00:26:37Oh, thank you.
00:26:37Well done, well done.
00:26:40So, judging time.
00:26:42Judging time.
00:26:43Yes.
00:26:43Serious time.
00:26:45The vocals, Vince.
00:26:46Mm-hmm.
00:26:48They're not strong.
00:26:50Mm-hmm.
00:26:50But this show isn't just about the voice, this is about the entire package, and you have
00:26:57a style.
00:26:58You've got a cracking personality.
00:27:02You have an energy that has got star-like qualities, and that's what we're trying to find, is someone
00:27:09who people will connect with.
00:27:11Yeah.
00:27:11I think more importantly, like, you raised energy.
00:27:14All three of us had a big smile.
00:27:16Yeah.
00:27:17On our face.
00:27:18Oh, it means a lot.
00:27:19Marsha, you're very quiet.
00:27:21I am, because I don't want you to get lost in the shuffle.
00:27:24Mm-hmm.
00:27:24And for me, you know, I want to hear a voice.
00:27:27Your voice was okay, Vince.
00:27:28It wasn't bad.
00:27:30But really, for me, it wasn't strong enough.
00:27:32You know what I mean?
00:27:33Yeah, but he brings something else.
00:27:36It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:27:39And I'll leave it to you, girl.
00:27:40No.
00:27:41It's all yours.
00:27:42No, no, I'm good.
00:27:43Don't leave us, Marsha.
00:27:44Don't leave us.
00:27:44Don't leave us.
00:27:45You're on your own.
00:27:46I think it was, like, a fun song choice.
00:27:49But it probably wasn't the best song to play to us
00:27:56because it didn't showcase your voice.
00:27:59Correct.
00:28:01But I think you had the potential to, you know, work and fight.
00:28:06I do.
00:28:07You know?
00:28:08So it's a yes from me.
00:28:10And if you don't work and fight, you just get booted off.
00:28:13That's it.
00:28:13It's a yes from me.
00:28:15Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:16So well done.
00:28:17And we'll see you later on today.
00:28:18And maybe you'll take home a golden ticket.
00:28:20Maybe.
00:28:21Nice work, Vince.
00:28:21Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:22We'll see you later on.
00:28:23See you later.
00:28:24Bye.
00:28:25Yee-haw.
00:28:26Thanks for the dance.
00:28:30Well done.
00:28:32He doesn't look like he's got an achy, breaky heart.
00:28:36How you going, guys?
00:28:38It means so much to me to get a golden ticket.
00:28:41Like, just that next step.
00:28:42Nice to meet you, mate.
00:28:43One step closer.
00:28:44It's being out there and getting me out there and doing what I love.
00:28:47How are we?
00:28:47How are you feeling?
00:28:49Oh, good.
00:28:50Very good.
00:28:50Yeah.
00:28:51That was incredible.
00:28:52Oh.
00:28:53Bit of fun, ladies, eh?
00:28:54Bit of fun.
00:28:55Bit of fun.
00:28:55Bit of fun.
00:28:56It'll be a drag.
00:28:57Bit of fun.
00:28:58Never hurt anyone.
00:29:01Coming up, he's a pest controller by day and a crooner by night.
00:29:07I'll do the old retirement home here and there.
00:29:09Oh, they'd love you.
00:29:10A few undies here and there.
00:29:11Oh, yes.
00:29:12Oh, look at you.
00:29:14Yeah, they're not panties.
00:29:16They're a thing.
00:29:17Yes.
00:29:18And can a young YouTube star...
00:29:228.7 million subscribers.
00:29:24Whoa.
00:29:25...take the next step in her musical career.
00:29:28I'll tell you what I didn't like first.
00:29:30Plus...
00:29:31Can I ask what's going through your mind right now?
00:29:42Can I get a moment?
00:29:43Can I get a moment?
00:29:44Can I get a moment?
00:29:45Can I get a moment?
00:29:46Can I get a moment to myself?
00:29:49Yeah.
00:29:52All right, girls.
00:29:53I think it's time for a selfie.
00:29:54Oh, yes.

00:41:05I took her to the beach yesterday.
00:41:08I didn't have my phone.
00:41:10She's so professional.
00:41:12No, she's funny.
00:41:13She's like clapping her hands now.
00:41:14I'm like, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
00:41:16And she does this.
00:41:17Excuse me?
00:41:18She's a bum.
00:41:18Oh, she's just you?
00:41:19A mini.
00:41:20She's a mini thing.
00:41:21She's eating a lamb cutlet now.
00:41:25Oh, my God.
00:41:25That's my girl right there.
00:41:30Hi, my name is Ava.
00:41:32I'm 17 years old from Geelong, Victoria.

00:41:37And I am a performer in the kids' band, The Mic Macs.
00:41:41One, two, three, little bunny.
00:41:44I love performing.
00:41:45Doing music is a big part of who I am.
00:41:48Being young and being in the industry has actually been quite amazing for me because I've had
00:41:55such a wonderful support system who has helped me through all of this.
00:41:58But the children's entertainment industry can only take me so far and can only challenge
00:42:04me so far and I want to expand my horizons.
00:42:08My dream is to pursue music as a solo artist.
00:42:12This just means so much to me and I want to prove I'm a solo artist.
00:42:19And watch your quickly eye.
00:42:21Time to shine.

00:42:40Oh, okay.
00:42:41But that's okay.

00:42:59You come from a musical family?
00:43:01Yeah, so we're in a children's band called The Mic Max.
00:43:05It has about 8.7 million subscribers, which is...
00:43:08Whoa.

00:43:10YouTube?
00:43:10On YouTube, yeah.
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:12Damn.
00:43:13Interesting.
00:43:13And what kind of artist would Ava be, then?
00:43:16Probably pop, rock genre.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Yeah.
00:43:20What are you going to play?
00:43:21I'm going to play Bubbly by Kobe Collette.
00:43:24Good song.
00:43:25Take a big breath and sing when you're ready.
00:43:34I've been awake for a while now
00:43:38You got me feeling like a child now
00:43:43Cause every time I see your bubbly face
00:43:48It gives me tingles in a silly place
00:43:52Starts on my toes, makes me crinkle my nose
00:43:56Wherever it goes, always know
00:43:59That you make me smile, please stay for a while now
00:44:04Just take your time
00:44:05Just take your time wherever you go
00:44:07The rain is pouring on my windowpain, but
00:44:12We're hiding in a safer place
00:44:17On the cover, staying dry and warm
00:44:20You give me feelings that I adore
00:44:22You give me feelings that I adore
00:44:23They start on my toes, makes me crinkle my nose
00:44:26Wherever it goes, I'll always know
00:44:30That you make me smile, please stay for a while now
00:44:34Just take your time
00:44:38Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
00:44:46Wherever, wherever, wherever you go
00:44:55Okay
00:45:01You've got one of those faces
00:45:04You look so worried, honey
00:45:05We're on your side
00:45:07That's okay, thank you
00:45:08Okay, alright, so breathe, you know
00:45:10Take a couple breaths
00:45:11You know, I like the innocence of your voice
00:45:16It's a very pretty voice
00:45:18Thank you
00:45:18You know, how did that performance make you feel?
00:45:21I know that I have a lot to prove
00:45:24And I know that I can challenge myself more with bigger songs
00:45:27Okay
00:45:28I'll tell you what I didn't like first
00:45:31I sort of felt like I was watching a kid's program for a second there
00:45:40What I did like is you've got a great voice
00:45:45Especially when you let it rip
00:45:46And you know how to play that thing
00:45:48You understand dynamics
00:45:49So there's a lot to like
00:45:51Thank you
00:45:51But I'm also confused
00:45:52Okay
00:45:53So I'm just going to hear out the girls
00:45:56Jess
00:45:58I can hear the potential in your voice
00:46:00It's so hard
00:46:02I guess when you're trying to break away from something really amazing
00:46:05And I can see you're on that path
00:46:07And that you're on that road
00:46:08And my feeling and my instincts are saying
00:46:11I want to put you through
00:46:13And I'm going to say yes
00:46:17Thank you
00:46:18What do you think
00:46:20What's in your gut right now
00:46:21Well I feel
00:46:22I feel
00:46:22I really liked your performance
00:46:25I really appreciate it
00:46:26What I really liked was
00:46:28The sincerity
00:46:30I knew that what you just did
00:46:32Meant a lot to you
00:46:33So for me it's a yes
00:46:37Thank you
00:46:38You don't even need me
00:46:40We'll see you later on
00:46:42Thank you

00:49:39Clara, that was very cool.
00:49:40Very unique vocals.
00:49:43I was not expecting that at all.
00:49:46There's something really special and unique here.
00:49:48I'm shook.
00:49:51Mm-hmm.
00:49:52You know, I mean, I really like what you brought to the table and it was mysterious and what
00:49:57you just did was very cool.
00:49:59Slightly confusing, but very cool.
00:50:02You seem very quiet.
00:50:04Are you nervous or...?
00:50:06I'm nervous, yeah.
00:50:08Yeah.
00:50:08But it's because this means so much to me.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:12Okay.
00:50:13Interesting.
00:50:14I think you still feel very green to me.
00:50:20Like, you still feel nervous and a bit not sure.
00:50:24Are you the next Australian Idol?
00:50:32I'm just going to say no.
00:50:36You need two yeses to get through.
00:50:38Look, I'm just going to say, for me, it's a yes.
00:50:43Yes, I'm keen to see more, Marsha.
00:50:45It's a yes from me.
00:50:46For real.
00:50:47There you go.
00:50:47Belly dance is in.
00:50:49Yeah, you do that, you know, victory dance, girl.

00:50:56Nice work, Tyra.
00:50:57So we'll see you later on today.
00:50:59And we'll see if you can get yourself a golden ticket.
00:51:01It's going to be hard, okay?
00:51:03So excited.
00:51:03We'll see you later on, okay?
00:51:04Give it to me, I'm worth it.
00:51:07Baby, I'm worth it.
00:51:09Hey.
00:51:10Hey, what's up?
00:51:12Give it to me, I'm worth it.
00:51:13Coming up.
00:51:14Ladies and gentlemen, we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:51:18It's uncanny, do you think?
00:51:20Does anyone sing?
00:51:22You're too young.
00:51:23And will one of our teenagers, or crooner James, make the top 30?
00:51:29The one golden ticket that we have here is going to go to.
00:51:45While Jess is taking care of the judging back at Idol HQ, Kyle is on assignment in the nation's capital.
00:51:52Canberra is known for its many, many roundabouts.
00:52:00Questacon, the Royal Australian Mint, Floriad, the big flower show.
00:52:05The list goes on.
00:52:06We'll see about three more things on that list.
00:52:12A lot of people don't know this, but I'm a big fan of flowers.
00:52:15The smell, if you could smell what I could smell, you're in heaven here.
00:52:20And there might be some singers.
00:52:22So let's come and find them.
00:52:26Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:52:31Ladies, don't lie, I know you've got singing chops.
00:52:35Hang on.
00:52:36I've been immortalised here in a statue.
00:52:40It's uncanny, do you think?
00:52:42I can keep my hands on myself.
00:52:43Oh, no.
00:52:45The countdown.
00:52:47At least we know when it's going to happen.
00:52:49So I'm up here and I'm searching as far as the eye can see.
00:52:56We are filming Australian Idol.
00:52:58Does anyone sing?
00:52:59You're too young.
00:53:01So if you're here smelling flowers and you'd like to be singing on stage,
00:53:06we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:53:09Let's see what you've got.
00:53:11Hi there.
00:53:11Nice to meet you.
00:53:12I'm Jack.
00:53:12Jack, nice to meet you.
00:53:13You a singer?
00:53:13Yeah, I am.
00:53:14What do you do for a living?
00:53:15I'm a personal trainer for athletes.
00:53:17I work with athletes, yeah.
00:53:17Oh, you looked at me and thought,
00:53:19there's someone that'll just keep paying and paying and paying.
00:53:22Let's go down to the middle of the flower circle
00:53:25and give it your best.
00:53:26And if you've got what it takes,
00:53:27I'll bring you back to Idol HQ
00:53:28and you audition in front of all the judges.
00:53:31Awesome.
00:53:32With one Idol hopeful locked in,
00:53:35Kyle needs to find one more singer to audition.
00:53:40Hi there.
00:53:40How are you?
00:53:41Hi, I'm well.
00:53:42You look fabulous.
00:53:43Look at you, head to toe and pinch.
00:53:44How are you?
00:53:46I saw the ice cream truck and I thought,
00:53:48that's exactly what I need.
00:53:50Okay.
00:53:51I hope it stays in.
00:53:52Is that okay?
00:53:53That is fantastic.
00:53:53Do you sing?
00:53:58I do, yeah.
00:53:59You do?
00:54:00Yes.
00:54:00You're not just doing cones, but you're singing as well.
00:54:03I am a singer, yes.
00:54:04Come on out of that truck.
00:54:06Everyone else here in line is going to have to wait.
00:54:08I want the girl to sing.
00:54:09Sorry, guys.
00:54:10Her Australian Idol audition starts now.
00:54:12Hey, I just met here and this is crazy.
00:54:16I'm Katie Lee.
00:54:17I'm 28 years old and I'm from Canberra.
00:54:19I work in an ice cream truck because my parents own one
00:54:21and I have to work it.
00:54:24Sorry, it's true.
00:54:26Music is every moment of every day, basically.
00:54:29So if I'm not on TikTok singing,
00:54:31then I'm singing in the shower
00:54:33or I'm driving around with music playing.
00:54:35I sing every day.
00:54:37It's my everything.
00:54:38Like, it is such a big part of my life.
00:54:42Kyle's search has been successful.
00:54:45Now it's up to Jack and Katie Lee to show him
00:54:48they've got what it takes to be invited back to Idol HQ.
00:54:54All right.
00:54:55And here comes Jack, our personal trainer.
00:54:57Hey, how are you going?
00:54:58How are you, mate?
00:54:59Thanks for coming.
00:54:59This is Katie Lee.
00:55:00Katie Lee, this is Jack.
00:55:01Hi, how are you?
00:55:02Now, what I'm here to do
00:55:04is find someone looking for a great singer
00:55:06with a great vibe, a great personality.
00:55:08So that's the mission.
00:55:10Yep.
00:55:10Who'd like to go first?
00:55:11Katie Lee, ladies first?
00:55:12Okay.
00:55:13What are you going to sing for us?
00:55:14I'm going to sing We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande.
00:55:17Oh!
00:55:18You're Australiana Grande.
00:55:21That's what I'd like to think of you as.
00:55:22Okay.
00:55:23Ladies and gentlemen,
00:55:24singing in the tulips is Katie Lee.
00:55:26And here is my...
00:55:27That is the music right there.
00:55:28Oh, you've got a track on there?
00:55:29I've got the track on there for you.
00:55:30Okay.
00:55:31Want me to hit play?
00:55:32Yes, please.
00:55:32Okay, Katie Lee, go for gold.
00:55:35I'm going to be ready.
00:55:35I'm going to be ready.
00:55:35I'm going to be ready.
00:55:38I didn't think you'd understand me.
00:55:46How could you ever even try?
00:55:51Because I don't want to tiptoe, but I don't want to hide, but I don't want to be this monstrous, but I just want to let this story die, and I'll be all right.
00:56:10We can't be friends, but I'd like to just pretend you cling to your papers and bands, wait until you like me again, wait for your love, my love, wait for your love.
00:56:33Oh, keep going.
00:56:37That's it.
00:56:37Hey, fantastic job.
00:56:39All right, better give you that phone there.
00:56:40Oh, thank you.
00:56:41It's already starting to ring.
00:56:42Jack, you're next, my friend.
00:56:45What are you going to sing for us?
00:56:46I'm yours by Jason Mraz.
00:56:48Now, that's no easy task.
00:56:49Good luck.
00:56:51Here's Jack, everyone.
00:56:54Well, you done done me, and you bet I felt it.
00:56:59I tried to beat you, but you're so hot that I melted.
00:57:02I fell right through the cracks, and now I'm trying to get back.
00:57:08Before the coup done run out, I'll be giving you my best diss, and nothing's going to stop me.
00:57:14But divine intervention, I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some.
00:57:22But I won't hesitate no more, no more.
00:57:31It cannot wait.
00:57:35I'm yours.
00:57:38Jack, very nice.
00:57:40I've never been sung to in the middle of a beautiful bunch of flowers by another man.
00:57:44There you go.
00:57:45I appreciate it.
00:57:46Okay, come up, Katie Lee.
00:57:48Hi.
00:57:49Now, my job, as I said, is tough, because you can both sing.
00:57:53You both look fantastic.
00:57:54I want someone I can play on the radio.
00:57:56Both of you have shown me songs today that I can hear me playing and introducing.
00:58:00I can see a spot for both of you on the show, but I can only bring one.
00:58:07That's the unfortunate part.
00:58:14Jack.
00:58:16I'm so sorry, but it's not going to be you today.
00:58:20I appreciate it, man.
00:58:21Thanks very much.
00:58:21Thanks.
00:58:22Nice to meet you.
00:58:22Nice to meet you as well.
00:58:23Good job.
00:58:23You did really well.
00:58:24Good job.
00:58:25You really did well.
00:58:26That leaves you.
00:58:30Who's your...
00:58:31Who's this random man?
00:58:35Is this your husband?
00:58:37My baby marries me.
00:58:39This is your man?
00:58:40Yes.
00:58:40I'm taking you to Idol headquarters.
00:58:42I'm taking you to Idol, darling.
00:58:45You'll be well looked after.
00:58:46Don't worry.
00:58:47There's a double bed, so you can bring your fella.
00:58:49I do feel some pressure meeting the other judges.
00:58:52I idolise them as well.
00:58:53See you at Idol headquarters.
00:58:55Gentlemen, thank you.
00:58:56We'll take good care of her.
00:58:58I really hope that they love my music,
00:58:59and I hope that they can see what potential I have.
00:59:07Coming up...
00:59:09Will Samela's or Katie Lee's top 30 dreams come true?
00:59:14The singer receiving the golden ticket is going to be...
00:59:18Week one of auditions saw the judges award nine golden tickets
00:59:33to the hottest fresh talent in the competition's history.
00:59:36Yes!
00:59:36What you get is what you see.
00:59:41There ain't nothing more to it.
00:59:43That was incredible.
00:59:45You're exciting.
00:59:46I don't know what I'm crying for.
00:59:51I don't think I could love you more.
00:59:56Charlie, that was beautiful.
01:00:00You sang that with so much real emotion.
01:00:02I'm blown away by you.
01:00:04Wow.
01:00:06And now Jess, Marsha and Amy
01:00:09have the difficult decision to make
01:00:12who will join them in the top 30.
01:00:16It's been a baptism of fire
01:00:23for special guest judge Jess Nalboy.
01:00:26But she's helped to unearth seven potential idols.
01:00:30Guys, I just want to say it has been so amazing
01:00:33being with you both.
01:00:34Oh, my God, I've had the best day with you.
01:00:35Yes, we have.
01:00:36We have some singers.
01:00:37Yeah.
01:00:38She was interesting.
01:00:40Great spirit.
01:00:42But this boy...
01:00:43Oh, I can't get over here.
01:00:45Young man.
01:00:45He survived.
01:00:46Kyle's found this girl
01:00:48that he's auditioned in Canberra.
01:00:50Wait until you remind me
01:00:52I am away for your love
01:00:56My love
01:00:58I mean, we've got a really, really tough
01:01:01few decisions to make.
01:01:03We do.
01:01:03You think some of our singers
01:01:04are starting to question
01:01:05if they've done enough?
01:01:07Yeah, I feel like the reality
01:01:08is really starting to sink in
01:01:10for these guys now.
01:01:12This is full on.
01:01:13This is the most crazy experience
01:01:15in the world.
01:01:17I'm a little bit worried.
01:01:17The competition feels absolutely real
01:01:20and the standard is so high.
01:01:22Bring them in.
01:01:24Up first to find out their fate
01:01:27are two teenage dynamos,
01:01:29Tayo and Ava,
01:01:31and Adelaide's crooner, James.
01:01:33Because I've got you
01:01:36under my skin.
01:01:40Just take your time.
01:01:43You are my treasure.
01:01:45You are my treasure.
01:01:46This is insane.
01:01:47You are my treasure.
01:01:49Yeah, you, you, you, you are.
01:01:53I'm feeling pretty nervous.
01:01:55I think Ava is a really big competition,
01:01:57especially for me
01:01:58because we're similar ages.
01:02:00I hope I've done enough
01:02:01for the golden ticket.
01:02:02I'm crossing my fingers.
01:02:04There's so much more
01:02:06that I want to prove
01:02:07to be deserving of this spot.
01:02:09I cannot wait
01:02:11to show myself
01:02:12as a solo artist.
01:02:14My real passion
01:02:15is obviously music.
01:02:17I've always dreamed
01:02:17of having my name in lights
01:02:18and I think it's time
01:02:20for me to shine.
01:02:22It's time.
01:02:23Good luck, you guys.
01:02:31Hey, hey.
01:02:32What a line-up.
01:02:34Hello.
01:02:35Hey, guys.
01:02:36Hello.
01:02:38Okay, so we have Tayo,
01:02:40our 15-year-old busker.
01:02:42James, our pest control crooner.
01:02:45That's me.
01:02:46And Ava, 17-year-old kids entertainer,
01:02:50ready to take on the world
01:02:51as a solo artist.
01:02:53So this was really hard
01:02:55because even though
01:02:57you're all different,
01:02:59the performances were so good.
01:03:02it made it
01:03:05really, really difficult.
01:03:07We're going to have to say
01:03:08goodbye to one of you,
01:03:09just straight up.
01:03:13For one of you,
01:03:14the nerves kind of took over,
01:03:15which is such a drag.
01:03:19I'm sorry to say
01:03:21that that person
01:03:21is going to be...
01:03:22James.
01:03:32I'm really sorry, buddy.
01:03:34Please keep going
01:03:34with everything.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:35And hopefully we'll see you again soon.
01:03:38Take care.
01:03:38I'll see you guys.
01:03:39Thank you, James.
01:03:41That leaves our teenagers.
01:03:44I mean, Jess,
01:03:45you were a teenager
01:03:45when you were on Idol.
01:03:46Yeah.
01:03:47You know what this feels like.

01:03:49I just turned 16
01:03:50and, you know,
01:03:52I think it's...

01:04:02in a place
01:04:02where you can really develop
01:04:04and you can learn more
01:04:05and be out there more.
01:04:07So congratulations
