00:01:49Like have you been singing, performing?
00:01:51Is this the dream?
00:01:52Tell us about yourself
00:01:53I work as a landscaper near the beach most days
00:01:56Nice
00:01:57So I'm constantly near the beach
00:01:58That's tough work
00:01:59Yeah
00:01:59Lifting rocks, shoveling dirt
00:02:01It is mate
00:02:02Rolling out grass
00:02:03It's not for the faint hearted
00:02:05No, no
00:02:06I definitely prefer to be singing
00:02:09How did you get into music?
00:02:11It's Nan for sure
00:02:12Your Nan
00:02:13I love that
00:02:14You love the Nan
00:02:14Because a lot of the time I was sort of there
00:02:17When my parents were working and stuff
00:02:19Like multiple jobs trying to keep things going
00:02:22So me and Nan are like besties
00:02:24Is Nan still around?
00:02:25Yeah, she's out there
00:02:26Oh, she's outside
00:02:27Oh, I love that
00:02:28This is great
00:02:28I was at my Nan's a lot
00:02:30And I loved my grandmother so much
00:02:32Yeah
00:02:32Laying on her shag carpet
00:02:34Feeling all her clipped toenails in my stomach
00:02:37Shut the hell
00:02:38Anyway, Kalani
00:02:39What are you going to sing today?
00:02:41I'm going to sing Torn by Natalie Imbruglia
00:02:43Oh
00:02:44Great song
00:02:45Just relax
00:02:46A few deep breaths
00:02:50Whenever you're ready
00:02:51To
00:02:53Two
00:02:54Two
00:03:02I thought I saw a girl brought to light
00:03:08Ohhh
00:03:09She was warm
00:03:11She came around like she was dale
00:03:16But she showed me what it was to cry
00:03:22She couldn't be that girl that I adore
00:03:28Okay, she's she didn't seem to know I'll care what I was for
00:03:38Anymore, there's nothing where she used to lie
00:03:44Conversation as we thrive
00:03:47That's what's going on
00:03:53It's nothing's fine, I'm torn
00:03:57I'm all out of faith
00:04:00And this is how I feel
00:04:03I'm cold and I am shamed
00:04:06I'm lying naked on the floor
00:04:10Illusions never change
00:04:12Into something real
00:04:16I'm wide awake and I can see
00:04:19The perfect sky is torn
00:04:22You're a little late
00:04:25I'm already torn
00:04:37I can see the perfect sky is torn
00:04:43I can see the perfect sky is torn

00:05:39You know exactly who you are
00:05:40You didn't overthink that
00:05:42It literally just happened
00:05:45Yeah
00:05:46What do you think, Marta?
00:05:48Kalani, I always say to people
00:05:49When they're singing how important it is
00:05:52To open your eyes and give
00:05:54You closed your eyes
00:05:57And you took us on the journey of that song
00:05:59And your sensibility of notes
00:06:02And how you chose to interpret that song

00:10:49Thanks Adrian.
00:10:50Well he was, there was parts of that, there was fun.
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:53He could have tricked me if he didn't go up there.
00:10:55A hundred percent.
00:10:56He could have been fooled.
00:10:56Until he went up, I thought.
00:10:59And because he's one of the first.
00:11:00How are you going to say no?
00:11:01How am I going to say no?
00:11:02And then I was like, there you go.

00:11:05That's my out right there.
00:11:07Next please.
00:11:12G'day.
00:11:13How are we doing?
00:11:14Sorry to interrupt you guys.
00:11:15I'm Scott.
00:11:16Nice to meet you.
00:11:16Lovely to meet you.
00:11:17What's your name?
00:11:18Lily Grace.
00:11:19I'm Susie.
00:11:21Nice to meet you Scott.
00:11:22I don't want to judge a book by its cover, but I'm guessing country singer.
00:11:26No, typically classical music actually.
00:11:29Yeah.
00:11:29Opera?
00:11:30Yeah, actually.
00:11:31I love that.
00:11:32That's what we need more of that in this country.
00:11:34I love country music.
00:11:36No kidding.
00:11:38My name is Lily Grace.
00:11:40I'm 17 years old and I'm from the Northern Rivers, New South Wales.
00:11:49Music's my main thing, but you know, I love animals.
00:11:52I do love horses.
00:11:53Horses just have this completely different kind of energy.
00:11:56You get around horses and it just completely changes you.
00:12:00It's just like when I'm singing, it's really a comfort zone for me.
00:12:05How are the nerves?
00:12:06The nerves, you know, they're okay.
00:12:08Yeah.
00:12:08They might be a little bit more intense in there.
00:12:10Is she any good?
00:12:11Not bad.
00:12:12Yeah, yeah.
00:12:12She goes all right.
00:12:14She goes all right.
00:12:16It's just mum and I, so we're very close.
00:12:19That's my best friend and I love her and she loves me.
00:12:22She's my number one supporter and I'm very lucky to have her.
00:12:26You got this.
00:12:28Right.
00:12:29Good luck.
00:12:29Thank you so much.
00:12:30Have fun in there.
00:12:31Being able to come to Sydney and getting to audition to the judges is like,
00:12:35it's a pretty big deal, I think.
00:12:37So, yeah.
00:12:41This is my big chance and I'm just going to give it absolutely everything that I have.
00:12:46Hi.
00:12:47Hello.
00:12:47How are you?
00:12:48Hey.
00:12:49How are you?
00:12:50I'm great.
00:12:51Is this a real country girl or is this a city girl looking country?
00:12:56Close enough.
00:12:56She looks pretty real to me.
00:12:58That's what I'm saying.
00:12:59It's legit, right?
00:13:00Yeah.
00:13:00What's your name?
00:13:02My name is Lily Grace.
00:13:03What a pretty name.
00:13:04Yeah, great name.
00:13:05Thank you so much.
00:13:05Oh, what a lovely name.
00:13:06Where are you from?
00:13:07Yeah.
00:13:08I'm from the Northern Rivers, so like far north New South Wales.
00:13:12Yeah, I'm 17.
00:13:13I left school when I was 15 and, you know, to take music seriously and I've just been,
00:13:17you know, gigging up sort of thing.
00:13:19Okay, so what are you going to perform today?
00:13:22Um, I'm going to sing What You Get Is What You See by Tina Turner.
00:13:26That's cool.
00:13:27But with my own little, my own little country swing on it.
00:13:30My own little version.
00:13:31Oh my God, I forgot about that Tina Turner song.
00:13:33It's a good song.
00:13:33It's a good song.
00:13:33It's a good song.
00:13:34It's a good song.
00:13:35Oh, you should do it.
00:13:36Please join me.
00:13:37No, no.
00:13:37Whatever you do, he'll sing it.
00:13:40Please don't.
00:13:41Don't encourage him.
00:13:42Never offer him the stage.
00:13:43Please do not encourage him.
00:13:44But what I want you to do is just breathe, take your time when you're ready.
00:13:49I look forward to hearing you.
00:13:50Thank you so much.
00:13:51You're welcome.
00:13:55You should go.
00:13:56You should go.
00:13:57You should go.
00:14:05Some boys have got the look of the creaky donuts.
00:14:11And some boys will try to talk you off of your feet.
00:14:17Some boys think they're God's gift to women.
00:14:21I like this country better.
00:14:23Some boys think they're sweet enough to eat.
00:14:28Seems really good.
00:14:29See?
00:14:30I want to change the habit of a lifetime.
00:14:32Don't even try.
00:14:35Cause when they cut down deeper than I see, you realize.
00:14:43What you get isn't what you see
00:14:45There ain't nothing more to it
00:14:48And if you want to love a woman like me
00:14:51It takes a man to do it
00:14:54If what you get isn't what you see
00:14:57Then I don't want that kind of love, no
00:15:01I don't want that kind of love, no
00:15:09I don't want that kind of love
00:15:20God, I wasn't nervous before, but I am now
00:15:24You know, Lily Grace, um, you're sassy
00:15:27Yeah
00:15:27In the best way
00:15:28And you enjoy what you do, which is even better to see
00:15:32Thanks
00:15:34That's a really good arrangement
00:15:36Yeah, it worked

00:15:39Thank you
00:15:40Yeah, this is, you're exciting
00:15:42Thank you so much

00:17:26Hey
00:17:29Still to come

00:17:35Let's go
00:17:36And we're bringing out the big guns
00:17:39This is good
00:17:40As the first day of auditions continues
00:17:43Kick my heels up
00:17:45Hey
00:17:46And Marsha's in Melbourne for the biggest audition in Australian Idol history
00:17:53This is make or break
00:17:55And one singer takes a bold risk
00:17:58I don't have a song
00:18:00Oh my goodness
00:18:01I thought I'd leave the choice up to you guys
00:18:05It's crazy that you did that
00:18:07But whose voice
00:18:09So I'm saving all my love for you
00:18:14Leaves Kyle speechless
00:18:16Wow
00:18:17No notes
00:18:18It's a yes from me
00:18:27From all over Australia
00:18:29These beautiful things that I've got
00:18:32Wave after wave of young hopefuls
00:18:35Are descending on Idol HQ
00:18:40And no one has travelled further than our next singer
00:18:44Just about to go into the audition
00:18:46Got my family here to support me
00:18:49Hope we do well
00:18:50I'm John and I'm 16
00:18:52And I'm from Bunbury, Western Australia
00:18:55Bunbury's just a small coastal town
00:18:57Two hours south of Perth
00:18:58A lot of beaches
00:19:00And just a lot of fun
00:19:02I guess I'm just a regular teenager
00:19:04I love my sport
00:19:06I love my footy
00:19:07That's probably my favourite sport to play
00:19:10And I love my studies
00:19:11Actually, that's such a lie
00:19:13I don't love my studies
00:19:17Kids my age listen to a lot of sad songs
00:19:22But I love my 50s, 60s kind of music
00:19:25One, two, three o'clock, four o'clock rock
00:19:28We're gonna rock around the clock tonight
00:19:31It's so upbeat and it's fun
00:19:34Love the movement as well
00:19:37I find I can really connect with it
00:19:39And I feel really happy and have fun when I'm singing it
00:19:41The king himself
00:19:45Hello
00:19:45Hello
00:19:47Welcome
00:19:48Thank you
00:19:49Here we are
00:19:51How are you feeling?
00:19:52Yeah, I'm so excited
00:19:53You feeling alright?
00:19:54Feeling nervous?
00:19:55I'm nervous
00:19:55But that's okay, shake it out
00:19:58Give him a big hug
00:19:59Come on guys
00:20:00I'm auditioning for Australian Idol today because I really want singing to be my life
00:20:07Bye
00:20:08And I think this could be a way that I could really step into that and take that into my
00:20:15life
00:20:17Hello
00:20:17Hello mate
00:20:19Hello
00:20:19Welcome
00:20:20Don't you look cool?
00:20:22Thank you so much
00:20:23You're welcome
00:20:23What's your name?
00:20:24John
00:20:25So, and how old are you John?
00:20:26I'm 16
00:20:27Okay
00:20:2716?
00:20:28You're a little fella
00:20:29Yeah, I am
00:20:30Where are you from?
00:20:31Bunbury, Western Australia
00:20:32Oh, Bunbury
00:20:33I love Bunbury
00:20:34That's a good spot
00:20:36It is great
00:20:37Tell us a bit, what do you do in Bunbury?
00:20:39Yeah
00:20:40Just what a teenager does
00:20:43Hang out
00:20:43Hang out, surf, school, sport
00:20:46You and I were doing very different things as teenagers
00:20:49I was doing none of those things
00:20:50All of the other things
00:20:52What is your music?
00:20:53What's your style?
00:20:54I love the 50s
00:20:55Okay
00:20:56Where did that come from?
00:20:57Like, how does a 16 year old fall in love with
00:21:01The music's happy
00:21:01Yeah, it is
00:21:02Which, for me, I just want to be happy, especially as a teenager
00:21:05There's always hard things, but the happiness is what I want to focus on
00:21:08You're right, the music was happier back then, wasn't it?
00:21:11Okay, this is exciting
00:21:12It is
00:21:13What are you going to sing?
00:21:15Shout Johnny O'Keefe
00:21:16Interesting
00:21:17Now, I'm very familiar with Johnny O'Keefe
00:21:20Oh no
00:21:20Because when I was growing up, my dad used to be a rockabilly
00:21:24So, and J.O.K. was his man
00:21:28He loved him
00:21:29And we'd just blast that on the two-in-one home stereo
00:21:32All day, all night
00:21:34So, I love those songs
00:21:36That's good to hear
00:21:37No pressure
00:21:37Only joking
00:21:39So, when you're ready, you take your time
00:21:41Breathe
00:21:42Do what you've got to do to perform
00:21:43And I wish you all the luck, man
00:21:45Okay, thank you
00:21:46You're welcome, John

00:24:37What is your, what's your shower song? What's your go-to?
00:24:40I don't sing in the shower. Oh really? No. She only sing when someone paying her big money. She's not
00:24:45putting on a free gig for the whole suburb. Next.
00:24:53My name is Bailey Cross. I'm 19 and I'm from Greystains in Sydney
00:24:58I don't know if you can tell
00:24:59But I'm a bodybuilder
00:25:01That love kinda grew and grew
00:25:03I got deep into the sport. I decided
00:25:05What if I step on stage with other people
00:25:07See how I go. I got second
00:25:09In my first ever bodybuilding show which was this year
00:25:11Ah, but it's not first
00:25:16I'm a competitive person
00:25:17And I think Australian Idol is
00:25:19The most challenging singing competition there is
00:25:22I wanna fly on it baby
00:25:26What draws me to music is
00:25:28If we don't know language
00:25:29Everyone knows
00:25:33Just like the beats
00:25:35I listen to songs that I don't even know
00:25:37The same language of
00:25:39But I can understand oh that's so beautiful
00:25:41Oh, why do I have to be so fizz
00:25:43Fizz
00:25:45Fizzlos
00:25:47What do I have to use these big words for?
00:25:48You got me in love again
00:25:51I'm a shower singer
00:25:52So if I'm in the shower I'm probably singing
00:25:55I'm just gonna pretend that Kyle is a bar of soap
00:25:58That Marsha and Amy is shampoo conditioner
00:26:00And I'm just gonna sing my heart out
00:26:02Like I'm singing in the shower
00:26:03Like I do everyday
00:26:07Oh, hi
00:26:08Here we go
00:26:11How are you doing?
00:26:12Hello, I'm good
00:26:13What's your name?
00:26:14My name is Bailey
00:26:15Bailey, welcome to Australian Idol
00:26:17Thank you
00:26:17Looks like you pump a bit of weights
00:26:19Yeah, I sing in the gym
00:26:21So I'm a multitasker
00:26:22I do two things at once
00:26:23Are you singing whilst you work out?
00:26:25That's true
00:26:26That's very good
00:26:27It's a smart thing
00:26:28I'm working out my muscles
00:26:29And I'm working out the vocal chords
00:26:31What do the people at the gym think of your singing?
00:26:35See, I don't know
00:26:36See, they're my friends
00:26:38So I don't know if they're lying to me
00:26:40Or if they're telling the truth
00:26:41A real friend would be honest
00:26:43A real friend will tell you the truth
00:26:45Oh, then I must be good then
00:26:46You must be
00:26:46Well, that's why we're here
00:26:47What are you gonna sing today?
00:26:49I'm singing Sorry by Justin Bieber
00:26:51Okay, best of luck my friend
00:26:52Let's see what you got
00:26:54Hopefully I don't forget the lyrics
00:26:56That's something you should just say in your own brain
00:26:59But I get you
00:27:00I'm with you
00:27:01I hope
00:27:01My expectations are low
00:27:03So are mine
00:27:04Yeah
00:27:05This is good
00:27:06I like this kid
00:27:08I like this guy, yeah
00:27:10When you're ready, man
00:27:11No hurry
00:27:20You gotta go and get angry at all
00:27:22On my honesty
00:27:25You know I try
00:27:26But I don't do too well with apologies
00:27:29I hope I don't run out of time
00:27:31Can someone call a referee?
00:27:33Cause I just need
00:27:34A more shot at forgiveness
00:27:37Ba-da-da-da-da-da-da
00:27:38Yeah
00:27:38Is it too late now to say sorry?
00:27:42Cause I'm
00:27:43Missing more than just your body
00:27:46Uh-huh
00:27:47Is it too late now to say sorry?
00:27:51Yeah, I know that I let you down
00:27:54Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?
00:27:58I love that song
00:27:59Yeah
00:28:00But the performance
00:28:02I hated it
00:28:05Oh
00:28:05It felt like you were just saying the words
00:28:07Not actually singing the words
00:28:09I gotcha
00:28:10I gotcha
00:28:11Look at the body on it though
00:28:12It's nice
00:28:13It's nice
00:28:14You know, that's undeniable
00:28:15But I'm not here for a body
00:28:17Look at that
00:28:18I'm here to hear a voice
00:28:19When in doubt get them guns out bro
00:28:21Yeah
00:28:21That's what you're doing
00:28:21Yeah
00:28:22You don't want to start a gun off between Marsa either
00:28:25Because let me tell you

00:30:00Not long after the vocals came along
00:30:02And it just all kind of progressed after that
00:30:04Do you think you could be the next Australian Idol?

00:30:22I'm going to let the judges decide what song I'm going to sing today
00:30:27Good luck in there whatever happens
00:30:35This is a big risk but if it works out it's a big reward

00:31:12And so today I don't have a song
00:31:15Oh what?

00:31:16I thought I'd leave the choice up to you guys
00:31:18Oh
00:31:19You want us to choose which song you audition with?
00:31:23Yeah
00:31:23I didn't, I didn't expect that
00:31:25It's normally a bit of a red flag
00:31:28When someone says
00:31:28I can do everything
00:31:29I can sing everything
00:31:30That means they don't really know what they want to be
00:31:32Yeah it's true
00:31:33But let's see what you got
00:31:35Let's shout out some requests
00:31:36Okay

00:31:45Good luck
00:31:54You want us to choose which song you audition with?
00:31:58Yeah
00:31:58I didn't, I didn't expect that
00:32:00Normally a bit of a red flag
00:32:02When someone says
00:32:03I can do everything
00:32:04I can sing everything
00:32:05That means they don't really know what they want to be
00:32:07Yeah it's true
00:32:07The thing is
00:32:08With Australian Idol

00:33:41Okay. Oh, my gosh, here we go.
00:33:49You're as smooth
00:33:53As Tennessee whiskey
00:33:57You're as sweet
00:34:00A strawberry wine
00:34:05You're as warm
00:34:08A glass of brandy
00:34:12Money I say so
00:34:16Call me all love
00:34:18All the time
00:34:22Wow
00:34:24Okay, one more from me

00:34:32That's gonna be fun
00:34:33One
00:34:34Go ever
00:34:47Oh, she's doing another one
00:34:48Oh, she's doing another one
00:34:49I'm in a strange lady
00:34:51She made me nervous
00:34:54She took me in
00:34:55And then gave me breakfast
00:34:57I wanna know what she said
00:34:58Do you come from the land down under
00:35:03Well, when they glow and then plunder
00:35:07Can't you hear, can't you hear the thunder
00:35:11Oh, yeah
00:35:12You better run
00:35:13You better take cover
00:35:22How good was that?
00:35:24Yeah
00:35:25Intimidated?
00:35:26Yeah, I'm kind of a little bit lost for words
00:35:32Wow
00:35:32Okay
00:35:33No more
00:35:34No notes
00:35:35It's a yes from me
00:35:37Thank you
00:35:37But
00:35:38You need at least two yeses
00:35:43What do you think, ladies?
00:35:45I
00:35:47I'm a bit wary of people who are like
00:35:49I'm so versatile
00:35:50I can do all genres
00:35:52Because I like someone to come in and go
00:35:54This is the artist I want to be
00:35:55And it scares me a little bit
00:35:57But like
00:35:58Um
00:36:00I don't know what to say
00:36:02You, you're
00:36:05You're different
00:36:05I agree
00:36:06You brought every single genre there
00:36:10And you made it sound like Eva
00:36:11Thank you
00:36:12And it's crazy that you did that
00:36:14So it's gonna have to be a yes from me
00:36:17Sorry, I'm gonna cry
00:36:18That means so much
00:36:19Thank you
00:36:20Eva, you've got a great sensibility
00:36:22About what licks to use
00:36:23What licks not to use
00:36:24What vocal gymnastics to use
00:36:26You know, I mean
00:36:27I can't criticise you
00:36:28I don't want to criticise you
00:36:30I just want to say
00:36:31It's a yes from me
00:36:32Oh, three yeses
00:36:33Oh, thank you
00:36:35Okay, you little musical chameleon
00:36:36Let's see if you get a golden ticket
00:36:38Later this hour

00:37:07Eva now joins the waiting room
00:37:10And is in the running
00:37:11For one of the few golden tickets
00:37:13Up for grabs today
00:37:16Oh my gosh
00:37:17Oh, there she is
00:37:17That was so good
00:37:19Thank you
00:37:20I'm Eva
00:37:21I'm a little bit nervous
00:37:22About the golden ticket thing
00:37:24I won't lie
00:37:26I didn't realise the competition
00:37:27Was gonna be so big
00:37:28It was actually so good
00:37:30Thank you
00:37:32A little bit intimidating
00:37:33But
00:37:35It felt out of body
00:37:36Like genuinely
00:37:37Yeah, it is
00:37:37My gosh
00:37:41How's the morning been?

00:37:50Yeah, really good
00:37:51Really good surprises
00:37:52Yeah

00:38:17I'm from Longreach, Queensland
00:38:18You're Mart?
00:38:19Art
00:38:20Art
00:38:20Art
00:38:20Like A-R-T?
00:38:21A-R-T
00:38:22Short for Art
00:38:22Where are you from?
00:38:24Longreach, Queensland
00:38:28I work in a shearing ship
00:38:31Which is on a farm
00:38:34We travel from shed to shed to shed
00:38:36So we're not ever in one place for any large amount of time
00:38:40I love it, you know
00:38:41It's a really good industry
00:38:42And at the end of the day
00:38:43You're just out on property with mates
00:38:45In the lovely night sky
00:38:47And you have a few beers and you go to bed
00:38:50And you get up the next morning
00:38:53Oh, wow
00:38:54Longreach boy
00:38:55Yes
00:38:55What do you do there?
00:38:57I'm a roustabout on a shearing crew
00:38:59So
00:39:00Now what exactly is a roustabout?
00:39:02Is that a master of
00:39:03Like you're a boy Friday
00:39:04Or what do you do?
00:39:06Kind of
00:39:06Yeah, I'm a little boy basically
00:39:07I pick up the wool
00:39:08Make sure that the wool's commercially alright
00:39:11So you're the bottom of the food chain?
00:39:12I'm the bottom of the food chain
00:39:13You're the dag on the shearing
00:39:15Well, sorry
00:39:15Hey
00:39:16You know what you're saying
00:39:17I don't think you can say that on TV
00:39:19I think you get this though
00:39:20You know what I like about you?
00:39:22You're real
00:39:23Yeah
00:39:23So if someone had the word
00:39:27A bloke
00:39:29In the dictionary
00:39:30There'd be a picture of you there, man
00:39:32Oh, jeez
00:39:32You've got a lovely smile too
00:39:34And you're just so real
00:39:35Which is lovely, you know
00:39:36I mean, I don't know if you can see it
00:39:38But
00:39:39That's what a sheet did to me the other day
00:39:41What did it do to you?
00:39:42Head-butted me
00:39:42Knocked a tooth out
00:39:43Knocked his tooth out
00:39:44It's alright now
00:39:45There was a bit of blood
00:39:46Wasn't much pain
00:39:47My God
00:39:48I got a paper cut earlier
00:39:49And the whole ambulance service
00:39:50I nearly cancelled the whole day filming
00:39:54It would be all on
00:39:55Like I said
00:39:56Bloke
00:39:57Pale
00:39:59Different pages
00:40:00Okay, so
00:40:01I'm guessing like a country vibe
00:40:03Yes
00:40:03I am playing a country song for you today
00:40:05Okay
00:40:06Playing False in Prison
00:40:07By Johnny Cash
00:40:08Oh, I love that song
00:40:09Sweet
00:40:09Bro, I'm ready
00:40:10Art
00:40:11Righto
00:40:11Let's see what you got
00:40:13Let's see what the Outback's throwing our way
00:40:14Righto
00:40:15Sounds good
00:40:42He's cold, man
00:40:44When I hear that whistle humming
00:40:47On down the sand and toe
00:40:53When I was just a baby
00:40:55My mama told me, son
00:40:58Always be a good boy
00:41:00Don't you ever play with guns
00:41:02But I shot a man in Reno
00:41:05Just to watch you die
00:41:11When I hear that whistle blowing
00:41:14Hang my head and cry
00:41:20Now if they free me from this prison
00:41:23If the railway train was mine
00:41:25I bet I'm moving on a little further down the line
00:41:30Far from Folsom Prison
00:41:32That's where I'd want to stay
00:41:38And I let that lonesome whistle
00:41:41Blow my blues away
00:41:53I found it very genuine
00:41:56Interesting to watch
00:41:57I would love to see someone like you
00:42:00On this year's Australian Idol
00:42:02Thank you
00:42:03Tooth or no tooth?
00:42:05Hopefully I can get one this week
00:42:08I like you, Art
00:42:09I'm going to give you a big yes
00:42:11I'd love you to get through
00:42:12Thank you
00:42:13What do you think, Ames?
00:42:14I don't even know what to say
00:42:16Sometimes when people go really loud
00:42:18It shocks me
00:42:20Because I wasn't expecting it
00:42:22I think
00:42:24I'm going to say it
00:42:25You're very green
00:42:26Like with this whole setting
00:42:28And I think it would be risky
00:42:32So just me personally
00:42:33I'm just going to say no
00:42:35Art, you need two yeses
00:42:38What do you think, Marsha?
00:42:39Art, how do you think you went?
00:42:42I was a bit nervous
00:42:46I don't have much thoughts
00:42:48My heart's thumping like
00:42:50It's thumping
00:42:51This is a big stage to be on
00:42:54Yes, it is
00:42:55You know, your honesty
00:42:56And your work ethic
00:42:57Means that if you get a chance
00:42:59To do this
00:43:00I think you'd work
00:43:01Even harder than you
00:43:02To know that you would work
00:43:03Towards this
00:43:04So for me
00:43:06It's a yes
00:43:07Thank you, guys
00:43:08Ooh, two yeses
00:43:09That's all you need
00:43:10Click, go the shears, boys
00:43:12Click, click, click
00:43:14You know that one?
00:43:15I know that one
00:43:16Yes
00:43:16Of course
00:43:16Because you're sheep
00:43:17Sheep here
00:43:18Hey, Art
00:43:19This is going to be pretty tough
00:43:20Like it's going to be a tough comp
00:43:22And we'll see you later in the day
00:43:23And maybe you'll take home
00:43:24A golden ticket
00:43:25Thank you, guys
00:43:25Nice work
00:43:26Let Ricky Lee know what the good news is

00:45:14And I'm from Brisbane
00:45:20I'd love to be the first rapper
00:45:21To ever win Idol
00:45:22I think it's about time
00:45:23This is my at-home studio
00:45:26I spend most of my time on music
00:45:28So I worked at KFC for six months
00:45:31And I saved up everything I earned
00:45:33And then I used that money to
00:45:34Buy all the equipment I needed for my home studio
00:45:37I do everything myself
00:45:39I'm a one-man band
00:45:40I produce, I song write
00:45:43Oh, that's actually a photo from my first performance ever
00:45:46So I keep that up there to remember
00:45:48Where I came from, you know
00:45:50I perform and I write all my own raps
00:45:53I love the performing aspect of it
00:45:55That's one of my favourite things
00:45:56When I'm up on that stage
00:45:58I just get that adrenaline rush
00:45:59It's amazing
00:46:00You all look scared
00:46:02But you look ready to go
00:46:03I'm ready
00:46:04I'm really nervous
00:46:04You're really nervous?
00:46:05I'm really nervous for him
00:46:06I think it's more cause he's so chilled
00:46:08But he's done the work, so
00:46:10Yes
00:46:11Very proud
00:46:12We are really proud of Asher

00:49:11It's tricky
00:49:12That's the tone
00:49:13Here we go
00:49:13It's tricky to rock around
00:49:15To rock around
00:49:16Let's write on time
00:49:17It's tricky
00:49:17How is it?
00:49:19It's tricky, tricky
00:49:20Tricky, tricky
00:49:20It's tricky to rock around
00:49:22To rock around
00:49:23Let's rock around
00:49:24He's back on track
00:49:25He's back on track
00:49:25He can relax
00:49:28No, I ain't lying
00:49:29Girls be crying
00:49:30Cause I'm on TV
00:49:32They even bother
00:49:33My poor father
00:49:34Cause he's down with me
00:49:36Here we go, man
00:49:36It's tricky
00:49:37To rock around
00:49:38To rock around
00:49:39That's right on time
00:49:40It's tricky
00:49:41Tr-tr-tr-tricky
00:49:42Tricky, tricky
00:49:43Tricky, whoa
00:49:55Oh, that was actually not
00:49:57God
00:50:01I love that remix version
00:50:02Where the words were just missing
00:50:05I just
00:50:06It just went blank
00:50:07I wrote like
00:50:08Three different versions of it
00:50:09So my brain just like
00:50:10Forgot the order of each part
00:50:11Yeah, so you must your own brain
00:50:13With your own lyrics
00:50:14Pretty much, yes
00:50:15When you came in with Tricky
00:50:17It was like
00:50:18You were all there
00:50:19But
00:50:20I guess the whole idea
00:50:22Of this
00:50:23Audition
00:50:23Is like
00:50:25To see
00:50:26Your decision making
00:50:27Yes
00:50:28He was just trying to impress us
00:50:29I know, but like
00:50:30It all just
00:50:31Fell out
00:50:32It was like an Olympic runner
00:50:33And the shoelaces
00:50:34Had forgotten to be put in
00:50:35I know, but if we
00:50:36If we put you through
00:50:38It's
00:50:39It's risky
00:50:42It's live TV
00:50:43Yes
00:50:44You know
00:50:45Like it's scary
00:50:46It's like
00:50:47It's full on man
00:50:48Yeah
00:50:50You've got to be better
00:50:52Yeah
00:50:54So just me personally
00:50:55I'm
00:50:56I'm just going to say no
00:51:00I've seen worse performances
00:51:01That I've paid
00:51:02To see at a hip hop show
00:51:05You
00:51:05I actually quite enjoyed
00:51:06Someone that I can play on the radio
00:51:08You've got this sound
00:51:10And this sort of energy
00:51:11That I liked
00:51:13And sometimes I can forgive
00:51:14Some of these little fluff ups
00:51:16There's a lot of fluff ups
00:51:17Yeah
00:51:18But
00:51:20I will give you a yes
00:51:23You need two
00:51:24Out of three
00:51:25To move forward
00:51:38So you know
00:51:39Asha
00:51:39I know that
00:51:48What do you think
00:51:49Yes or no
00:51:52You know
00:52:01Unfortunately it's a no from me
00:52:02But
00:52:02I'm being very honest with you
00:52:07I'm not saying never
00:52:09Okay
00:52:10I'm saying right now
00:52:11Today
00:52:16So you can walk away
00:52:18With a yes
00:52:18And just know
00:52:20That it's a crappy day
00:52:21And get up tomorrow
00:52:23And keep going
00:52:25That's all you can do
00:52:26Just keep going
00:52:29Thank you Asha
00:52:30Thank you
00:52:30Thank you man
00:52:32Don't beat yourself up
00:52:34No please
00:52:42I forgot all the lyrics
00:52:44On the first part
00:52:45Oh no
00:52:46Oh no
00:52:47You alright
00:52:48Yeah
00:52:49Okay
00:52:49Yeah
00:52:51So where was it left
00:52:53What did they say
00:52:54They just said to keep going
00:52:56With it
00:52:56Because there's something there
00:52:57But today wasn't my day
00:52:59Okay
00:53:00Bye
00:53:01Thank you
00:53:02Thanks for that
00:53:06I think it was more than
00:53:07Just not his day
00:53:08More than not his day
00:53:09Just
00:53:09Yeah
00:53:09I would simplify the shit out of it
00:53:11Next please

00:53:16The biggest audition
00:53:18Idol

00:53:24The country cowgirl
00:53:26And the musical chameleon
00:53:27Face their moment of truth
00:53:29This is a tough business guys
00:53:31Not everyone gets to live
00:53:33Their dreams
00:53:40Every year
00:53:41Our judges spread their net far
00:53:43But this year
00:53:44Oh I hope you know

00:54:17This country has got on offer
00:54:18We're away

00:54:48Kicks off with a bang
00:54:49Hello Melbourne
00:54:51Love this city
00:55:03I've seen a young guy on TikTok
00:55:06Who's getting thousands of followers
00:55:08I want to meet him
00:55:09And see if he's got what it takes
00:55:14He's really good at singing
00:55:15To his followers
00:55:17He's got thousands of them
00:55:18But it's going to be interesting
00:55:20To see how
00:55:21How he fears
00:55:22Doing what we're going to ask him to do today
00:55:24Say what you want to say
00:55:27Don't forget it

00:55:29And I'm from Melbourne
00:55:31I play a lot of sport
00:55:32I do football
00:55:33And basketball
00:55:34But I think music
00:55:35Is like what I truly love
00:55:39So what I'm planning to do today
00:55:41Is I'm going to actually audition Matt
00:55:42But the bottom line is
00:55:45This is no ordinary audition
00:55:47I believe this is going to be
00:55:51The biggest audition idol has ever seen
00:55:59We're looking for more than just a singer
00:56:03We're looking for somebody
00:56:04Who really wants to be
00:56:06A performer in their own right
00:56:13Someone's coming
00:56:14Oh

00:57:25As the Bulldogs host the Dockers
00:57:28We've had this game circled for six weeks
00:57:30This should be a cracker

00:57:37This audition is the biggest audition Australian Idol has ever seen
00:57:42It doesn't get bigger than this
00:57:47I'm trying to imagine walking out
00:57:49Just people everywhere
00:57:51We just breathe
00:57:55It doesn't feel real at all
00:57:57I don't know
00:58:00You have to be so composed and realize this is your moment
00:58:04This is make or break
00:58:13All right Matt I need you in front
00:58:28It's not often you get to play in front of the football crowd

00:59:45Most importantly
00:59:46Everybody please welcome
00:59:48Matt
00:59:51So you guys
00:59:52Can have a listen to him sing
00:59:56In everything I do
00:59:57I get a little bit nervous beforehand
00:59:59There's always that part of my mind
01:00:01That's like
01:00:01I'm not sure
01:00:02Anything could happen
01:00:05How you feeling
01:00:06You feeling okay?
01:00:07I'm good
01:00:07All right
01:00:08Thanks
01:00:34I used to
01:00:37And all the world
01:00:39Sees would rise
01:00:41When I gave the word
01:00:43Now in the morning
01:00:44I
01:00:44Sleep alone
01:00:46Sweep the streets
01:00:49I used to own
01:00:50One minute
01:00:51I held the key
01:00:54Next the walls
01:00:56Closed on me
01:00:58And I discovered
01:00:59That my castle
01:01:01Stands
01:01:02Upon
01:01:03Up on pillars of salt
01:01:04Pillars of sand
01:01:06I hear Jerusalem
01:01:08Bells and bells
01:01:09Ringing
01:01:10And the Roman cavalry
01:01:12And the Roman cavalry
01:01:13Was a scene
01:01:14Be my mirror
01:01:16And my sword
01:01:16And my shield
01:01:18And my missionaries
01:01:19In a foreign field
01:01:21And for some reason
01:01:23I can't explain
01:01:24Once you were gone
01:01:27It was never
01:01:28Never was an honest world
01:01:31But that was when I ruled the world
01:01:56Never was an honest world
01:02:00But that was when I ruled the world
01:02:14How was that guys?
01:02:15What do you reckon?
01:02:20We have to go backstage
01:02:21And I have to work out
01:02:22What we're going to do

01:02:23Come on
01:02:24Perfect
01:02:24Thanks so much
01:02:25Thanks everybody
01:02:29Thanks everybody
01:02:31English to go against Jackson
01:02:36I think because I was a bit nervous
01:02:37Some of the top notes
01:02:39I didn't sing as confidently
01:02:40It was what I usually do
01:02:42Whatever decision she makes
01:02:43Is the right one
01:02:45If it's a no
01:02:46I want to know
01:02:46What I can improve on
01:02:48And if it's a yes
01:02:49I'll be super excited
01:02:50Obviously
01:02:51Now I have to decide
01:02:53If he comes back
01:02:54To Idol HQ
01:02:54To meet Kyle and Amy
01:02:56Where he might
01:02:57Get a golden ticket
01:02:58To the top 30

01:04:10Some kid
01:04:10Of what I'm up against
01:04:12Only 30 tickets on offer
01:04:14We have to be ruthless

01:04:18With some very big decisions
01:04:21There's only one golden ticket
01:04:31It's been a massive first day
01:04:33Of auditions
