00:00:12Behind the scenes.
00:00:13This is where it's at.

00:00:17You got your happy pants on, Kyle?
00:00:19I said I'm not prepared to do any videos.
00:00:22I'm not going in that room again.
00:00:24Just so everyone knows. Too hot.
00:00:25Kyle's having a meltdown. Hilarious.
00:00:27Oh.
00:00:29I mean, Kyle's in a great mood.
00:00:32I'm good.
00:00:33So far, this season on Australian Idol,
00:00:37sublime voices from across the nation
00:00:39have astonished the judges.
00:00:41Is this a real country girl?
00:00:44She looks pretty real to me.
00:00:46What you get isn't what you see.
00:00:48There ain't nothing more to it.
00:00:50That was incredible.
00:00:52You're sassy.
00:00:53Have you ever heard anyone better than Lily Green screen, everyone?
00:00:55Cause nothing's fine, I'm torn.
00:00:59I'm all out of faith.
00:01:02And this is how I feel.
00:01:05I don't wanna wait.
00:01:07For our lives to be over.
00:01:10That's the best audition I have ever, ever, ever seen.
00:01:15For me, that was perfect.
00:01:16Absolutely beautiful.
00:01:19You're the fire and the fly.
00:01:22Wow.
00:01:24What?
00:01:25What?
00:01:25This is why I love Idol.
00:01:28After four days of auditions,
00:01:3117 Idol hopefuls have scored a golden ticket.
00:01:34So which of today's singers will join them in the top 30?
00:01:41We're back at behind the scenes.
00:01:43Come on.
00:01:43That's all it is.
00:01:44It's a little wild up in here, guys.
00:01:46I don't know.
00:01:47I'm the only professional one here.
00:01:49Me on the other hand, I'm in a bad mood and very judgy.
00:01:52Bring him in, please.
00:01:57Hello.
00:01:58Hello, hello.
00:01:59Oh, hey.

00:02:02Oh, look at that little Superman thing.
00:02:03I love that hair.
00:02:04Thank you so much.
00:02:05You look great.
00:02:06What's your name?
00:02:07Sophie.
00:02:07How old are you, Soph?
00:02:08I'm 19 years old.
00:02:10You look like the real deal, man.
00:02:11Love this outfit.
00:02:13Aw, thank you, Amy.
00:02:14Where are you from?
00:02:14I live in Melbourne at the moment.
00:02:15Right.
00:02:16Melbourne has got such a great artistic scene.
00:02:19It's fantastic.
00:02:20Absolutely.
00:02:20No matter what you do in the arts.
00:02:22Just walking the streets in Melbourne, you learn so much about fashion.
00:02:25Absolutely.
00:02:26I love me some Melbourne.
00:02:27Yeah, me too.
00:02:28So, what are you going to sing?
00:02:30Singing some Adele, so.
00:02:32Oh.
00:02:32Adele, no, that's a big sing, honey.
00:02:34I know.
00:02:35I know, she's...
00:02:36I was expecting like her.
00:02:37I don't know.
00:02:38Pop star.
00:02:39Honestly, I thought I'd do a bit more dancing around, but I feel like we're keeping it chill
00:02:43today.
00:02:43Okay.
00:02:44Okay.
00:02:45You definitely look like what we're looking for.
00:02:48But we need the entire package.
00:02:50Yeah.
00:02:50So, let's see how your pipes are.
00:02:53I'm looking forward to hearing you sing.
00:02:55Thank you very much.
00:02:55Whenever you're ready.
00:02:56Awesome.
00:03:08When the rain is blowing in your face and the whole world is on your case, I could offer
00:03:23you a warm embrace to make you feel my love.
00:03:33I know you haven't made your mind up yet.
00:03:39Oh, but I would never do you wrong.
00:03:46I've known it from the moment that we met.
00:03:51No doubt in my mind.
00:03:54No doubt in my mind where you belong.
00:03:58I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue.
00:04:04And I'd go crawling down the avenue.
00:04:09I know there's nothing I wouldn't do to make you feel my love.
00:04:22To make you feel my love.
00:04:34To make you feel my love.
00:04:39I'd go down the avenue.
00:04:39I didn't expect a young, beautiful, vibrant, structured, model-looking girl to come in and
00:04:45sing old, sad lady songs.
00:04:48i know you can do that but that's just not going to cut it the singers we've got this year
00:04:54are
00:04:54incredible we get one song to make our decision and as nice as that was i'm not sure whether
00:05:03you're strong enough to be put forward what do you think ladies um beautiful voice but i kind
00:05:12of see where kyle's coming from it just feels like yeah a bit detached i could sort of see your
00:05:19your sassiness coming through that song i was like oh she's holding back
00:05:23a little bit she did say that she did say that before she performed she's not going to do anything
00:05:28you're going to stand still and sing we don't have a magic crystal ball here i want to see what
00:05:33i'm
00:05:35offered i never do this ever i want you to go away pick a song that actually shows us who
00:05:44you are
00:05:45and come back and re-audition more like see that in the next audition maybe if you say yes
00:05:50i can show you that in the next one there's no next one you're coming back to re-audition with
00:05:55a new song would you do that yeah i can read you're gonna have a chance to reprocess what it
00:06:02is you want
00:06:03to do i believe that's the singer that you just sang that's what you want to do but i'm going

00:27:16thing i just hate it all and i should to sing on the stage that's the one life for me
00:27:27i'd be a success that i do know and mother i'd asked if i once sang in faust little brrr
00:27:37some charming boy
00:28:02that's what i'm dying for that's what i'm sighing for
00:28:06that's what i'm dying for
00:28:13for me
00:28:28help me
00:28:39What am I going to do with that?
00:28:41And that has a place on stage.
00:28:44Look, if I paid $12 at lunchtime to sit in a theatre and watch opera,
00:28:48that would be spectacular.
00:28:51But you're in the wrong place.
00:28:52It was so good.
00:28:56That is not an easy thing to do, even with your acting through it.
00:29:02Oh, man, I enjoyed every second of that.
00:29:04That was so, so brilliant.
00:29:06I'm very glad.
00:29:07Yeah.
00:29:08You know, you've got a beautiful operatic voice.
00:29:10But, you know, look, I did study opera as a kid.
00:29:12I used to say to God, please make me a commachero.
00:29:15I just want to sing those high notes.
00:29:17You're a beautiful singer.
00:29:18You want to be a commachero?
00:29:19You're going to need a different jacket.
00:29:22OK, I think we've goo-gooed and gargaed enough over someone
00:29:25and a group of people that we're never going to do anything with.
00:29:28I'm goo-goo-gargaing and I'm going to say no.
00:29:30So it's not really something that will probably go very far in this competition.
00:29:35I really appreciated that performance.
00:29:38I can't speak for my colleague, but, you know.
00:29:41That's all that matters.
00:29:42Thank you very much.
00:29:43It's a no from me, but I appreciate what you just did.
00:29:45Thank you, guys.
00:29:46Bye-bye.
00:29:47She's funny.
00:29:47Good luck, Amelia.
00:29:48Excellent work.
00:29:49Thank you, guys.
00:29:50Well done.
00:29:51These are a few of my favourite things.
00:29:54Here he is.
00:29:55I simply remember my favourite things and then I don't feel so bad.
00:30:03OK.
00:30:03Don't hear that.
00:30:04It'll ruin millions of dollars of marketing.
00:30:06Everyone got that, right?
00:30:08Still to come, Sophie struggles to pick a song to show the artist she really is.
00:30:14It is a massive kerb ball, but I understand what Kyle was trying to say.
00:30:19I feel like I look different to what I was singing.
00:30:21Can Rikki's advice help her in the biggest decision of her life?
00:30:26There's a way that we can use your jazzy, sassy, young, fresh...
00:30:33Do you know, I heard an amazing version.
00:30:36Have you ever done Tainted Love?
00:30:39So is Tainted Love something that you've done?
00:30:41Yeah.
00:30:43Yeah.
00:30:44Do you think you can...
00:30:45I can, yeah.
00:30:46Sink your teeth into it.
00:30:47I think it'd be like a good song to do.
00:30:49Yeah, we can do something with this for sure.
00:30:51Yeah?
00:30:52Mm-hmm.
00:30:52All right.
00:30:53Well, do you want to maybe...
00:30:53We'll get the music team to maybe...
00:30:56Someone can play on the piano and you can have a little play.
00:30:58That'd be perfect.
00:30:59OK.
00:31:00OK, let's go.
00:31:01Let's do this.
00:31:02Tainted Love.
00:31:03Tainted Love.
00:31:05Sometimes I think...
00:31:06Sometimes I feel like...
00:31:07I've got to run away...
00:31:10Nice.
00:31:11Nice.
00:31:12Yeah, I like that.
00:31:13Yep.
00:31:17But first, does this data analyst have what it takes to win Australian Idol?
00:31:23Yep.
00:31:23Thank you, Michael.
00:31:26And one barber from Ballarat...
00:31:29Oh.
00:31:31Really?
00:31:31You're going to say yes with that lackluster audition?
00:31:34Divides the judges.
00:31:36But there was a lot...
00:31:37He's going through the whole thing.
00:31:38He's got style.
00:31:39He's got a really cool voice.
00:31:40Yeah, but I've got style and I've got a good voice too.
00:32:00One thing I've learned about Idol is that every singer approaches their audition in their own unique way.
00:32:05Some focus on the singing, others like to show off their personality, and then there are those who are all
00:32:12about the look.
00:32:13Hi.
00:32:14How are you guys?
00:32:15Very well.
00:32:16How are you going?
00:32:17Hi.
00:32:18Wow, you look incredible.
00:32:19Don't you look lovely?
00:32:22Next top model auditions in the next studio.
00:32:25I think for me, you know, when someone walks in and they look amazing and they come in confident...
00:32:31Hello, how are you?
00:32:33...and they stand there and they open their mouth and then...
00:32:36I am a fighter before this fight is over.
00:32:44They suck.
00:32:45You'll know my name before I go home.
00:32:50It just isn't quite there.
00:32:53So it's a no from me.
00:32:54Thank you, Jamie.
00:32:55Thank you, though.
00:32:56That's okay.
00:32:56Bye, darling.
00:32:58God is good and yeah.
00:33:01Yeah.
00:33:02Come on!
00:33:03Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:33:05What if God was one of us?
00:33:09What if he was?
00:33:11Call me on my cell phone.
00:33:14Late night when you need my love.
00:33:17Oh, bro.
00:33:19I can't.
00:33:20I have to do this or no.
00:33:21It's very rarely done.
00:33:23You're a strapping bloke, but man, that showed everything that this show is not.
00:33:27Not.
00:33:28Yeah.
00:33:30Obviously, you're a good-looking young man with no future in singing.
00:33:34You seem to know what it should be, but I'm not sure you actually got to where you need to
00:33:40be.
00:33:41Today, it's going to be a no from me.
00:33:43I wish I could sing it again.
00:33:45It's a no from me as well.
00:33:47Thank you, guys.
00:33:47Nice to meet you.
00:33:48Nice to meet you.
00:33:49It's the idle illusion.
00:33:50They look like they could be on the cover of Rolling Stone, but then they just don't sound the part.
00:33:56Good-looking man.
00:33:58What's your name?
00:33:59My name's Harry Lamb.
00:34:00Harry Lamb.
00:34:01Where are you from, Harry Lamb?
00:34:02I'm from Ballarat in New Orleans.
00:34:04Ballarat?
00:34:05Yeah, regional Victoria.
00:34:06Yeah, I know exactly where Ballarat is.
00:34:09Harry Lamb from Ballarat.
00:34:10What do you do there?
00:34:12I have a barber shop in Ballarat, so I cut hair through the week and then play gigs on the
00:34:16weekend.
00:34:26I've been cutting hair for eight years now.
00:34:31What are we thinking today, man?
00:34:32A bit of a melody sort of vibe.
00:34:34Worked really hard at building a bit of a music career for myself.
00:34:38I really enjoy doing both.
00:34:40It's more just trying to find the hours in the day sometimes.
00:34:42I really do love both, but I'd say music probably comes out on top for me.
00:34:47It's definitely something that I see myself doing forever.
00:34:52Anyway.
00:34:53Run away, run away, run away.
00:34:58Harry Lamb, the barber from Ballarat.
00:35:01The barber from Ballarat.
00:35:01What are we going to sing today then?
00:35:03I'm doing Eye of the Tiger by Survivor.
00:35:05Oh, that's a good old song, man.
00:35:07And have you kicked it up a notch here?
00:35:09We're going to...
00:35:09I've kind of pulled it back the other way.
00:35:11It's a little bit more folky.
00:35:13Okay, great.
00:35:14Yeah, a bit more strips.
00:35:15And that's sort of a record, that folky vibe is what you'd do if you got through this?
00:35:19For sure, yeah.
00:35:20I definitely play a lot more folky sort of stuff.
00:35:22Okay, I'm excited.
00:35:25Awesome.
00:35:25All right.
00:35:26Harry Lamb from Ballarat.
00:35:28Looking forward to seeing what you've got, man.
00:35:29Good luck.
00:35:30Cheers.
00:35:30When you're ready.
00:35:31Cheers.
00:35:49Cheers.
00:35:54Cheers.
00:35:55Cheers.
00:35:58Cheers.
00:36:11Don't lose your kisses and fight on the feet
00:36:17They're my life
00:36:21He forgot the words, didn't he?
00:36:22It's the eye of the tiger, it's the thrill of the fight
00:36:26Rising on to the challenge of our rivals
00:36:31And the last known survivor stalks his prey in the night
00:36:35And he's watching this soar through the ice
00:36:42Of a tiger
00:36:48The eye of the tiger
00:36:56The eye of the tiger
00:37:06Oh, look at you little shy country boy
00:37:10How'd that feel, Harry?
00:37:12A little bit, I've mucked up the words a bit
00:37:39But still, there's promise
00:37:43Thank you
00:37:45And I'm going to say yes
00:37:47Thank you
00:37:49Really, you're going to say yes with that lacklustre audition?
00:37:53Without what?
00:37:54There was a lot of good stuff in there
00:37:55We just went through the whole thing
00:37:57He's got style, he's got a really cool voice
00:37:59Yeah, but I've got style and I've got a good voice too
00:38:02Yeah, you won't be able to write these performances on your arm
00:38:05You're going to walk out of here looking like a bikey
00:38:08And it's just not going to be good enough for me to give you a yes
00:38:15So, I'm going to be very honest with you
00:38:17You're great eye candy
00:38:19You look very, very good
00:38:21Thank you
00:38:22You're welcome
00:38:22I mean, look, call it the way
00:38:24She just lacks the hard-hitting question
00:38:25So, what I'm trying to say to you is, you know
00:38:27You're compelling to look at
00:38:30But you looked at the floor, you look at the lights
00:38:33You look at your audience
00:38:36Yeah
00:38:36Give something of yourself
00:38:38Okay, you've got to learn not to go in
00:38:42Because nobody else can go in there but you
00:38:44Yeah
00:38:44You have to give something of yourself
00:38:47That was an okay audition
00:38:50But that was a performance that I think you could really build upon
00:38:54For sure
00:38:56I can see you've got potential
00:38:59I think I'd say yes
00:39:00It's a yes from me
00:39:02Thank you so much
00:39:03I really appreciate that
00:39:04And I appreciate the advice
00:39:05Next time we see you
00:39:06We'll be handing out golden tickets
00:39:07You either get one or you don't
00:39:09Thank you
00:39:10You're welcome
00:39:11Lots to work on
00:39:11Nice work, Harry
00:39:12Thank you so much
00:39:13We'll see you later on
00:39:13Bye-bye
00:39:14Thank you
00:39:15It's put me on, you know, on edge a little bit
00:39:17I'm not super comfortable
00:39:18But I got through
00:39:19So I'm happy with that
00:39:22Hi
00:39:23Hello
00:39:24How'd you go?
00:39:25It was okay
00:39:26Definitely wasn't my best performance
00:39:28Oh really?
00:39:30They said they saw the potential
00:39:31So two yeses, we're on
00:39:33Yeah, go celebrate
00:39:34Congratulations
00:39:34Thank you
00:39:37The tension in the waiting room
00:39:39Now builds
00:39:40As Harry joins Kesha and Trey
00:39:43In the running for a golden ticket
00:39:50As audition day five kicks on
00:39:52And hundreds of hopefuls
00:39:54Still to see our judges
00:39:56They're in need of a little pick-me-up
00:40:10Here we go
00:40:12Here we go
00:40:28Espresso macchiato
00:40:29We're back at behind the scenes
00:40:31And Kyle's just spilt
00:40:32Ah, coffee everywhere
00:40:33It's chaos
00:40:34Look at that mess
00:40:35One minute we're all judging
00:40:37Next minute
00:40:38Amy's doing her own filming
00:40:40That's your last coffee, Kyle
00:40:42No, I've already ordered another one
00:40:43Here we go
00:40:45Here we go
00:40:46Focus, Amy
00:40:47Espresso macchiato
00:40:49Gotta go
00:40:50Like and subscribe
00:40:55Our next singer hoping to outshine the competition
00:40:58Is Victorian Michael
00:41:00I'm a data analyst
00:41:02So taking raw data
00:41:04And trying to present it in creative ways
00:41:07But I definitely present differently
00:41:09When I'm performing
00:41:14I'm very excited to show Australia
00:41:16What Michael K can do
00:41:18It could be a life-changing moment
00:41:20We'll say it right here
00:41:20This could be one of those moments
00:41:24I've always dreamed of being
00:41:26The next Australian Idol
00:41:27I think out of all the judges
00:41:28Kyle comes across as scary
00:41:31So I'm like
00:41:31If you like it
00:41:32I did something really well
00:41:34Let's go
00:41:35We got this
00:41:44Hello there
00:41:46Hello

00:41:58From Melbourne
00:41:59And I'm a data analyst
00:42:00A do-rag
00:42:01Rearing data analyst
00:42:02That is not
00:42:03When I picture data analyst
00:42:05That's not what I picture
00:42:06Data analyst by day
00:42:08Switch it up at night
00:42:09You know it
00:42:10I'm Michael K
00:42:11The artist

00:42:15So what are you going to sing today man
00:42:16Today I'm going to be bringing you
00:42:18Waterfalls by TLC
00:42:19One of my favourite songs
00:42:20Great track
00:42:21You know that's a deep song
00:42:23It's a deep song
00:42:24Yeah baby
00:42:25Is there a reason why that one
00:42:26It was the first song
00:42:28I actually ever learnt to rap to
00:42:30When I used to just sing
00:42:31And then I was like
00:42:33Let me try to learn to rap
00:42:34And something about left eye
00:42:36Oh yeah
00:42:37Brought me into that
00:42:38Okay Michael
00:42:39Can't wait to see what you've got
00:42:41Very excited
00:42:41Take your time
00:42:43And show us what you got
00:42:44Thank you
00:42:45Hope you enjoy it
00:42:46Thank you
00:42:56A lonely mother gazing out of the wind
00:43:00No staring at a son that she just can't touch
00:43:04And if at any time he's in a jail
00:43:08She'll be by his side
00:43:10But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
00:43:17But all the praying just ain't helping at all
00:43:21Another body laying cold in the gut
00:43:25Listen to me
00:43:27Don't go chasing waterfalls
00:43:31Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
00:43:36I know that you're gonna have it go
00:43:40Ain't nothing at all
00:43:42But I think you're moving too fast
00:43:46Oh come on
00:43:48I seen a rainbow yesterday
00:43:50But too many storms
00:43:52How come I don't leave in a trace
00:43:53And not one God given ray
00:43:54Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
00:43:56Pray or ten fade away
00:43:58You saw the praising for the sunny days
00:43:59Didn't expect the rap man
00:44:00That's great
00:44:01He came in a smooth way
00:44:02Yeah
00:44:03To bring my life to a new
00:44:05Clear blue and unconditional skies
00:44:07That drive the tears from my eyes
00:44:08No more lonely cries
00:44:10Don't go chasing waterfalls
00:44:14Please stick to the rivers and the lakes
00:44:45I know that you're gonna have it go
00:44:47A little bit of a brother from another mother
00:44:48A little bit of a cousin
00:44:50I love that
00:44:51That's right up your alley
00:44:52That is so great
00:44:53You've just got a great vibe
00:44:55A great energy
00:44:56A great look
00:44:56A great sound
00:44:57Thank you
00:44:58Yeah cool rap sound too
00:44:59Not everyone has that
00:45:01No
00:45:01Like when some
00:45:02A lot of people can sing
00:45:04And then they go into the rap
00:45:05And it's just like
00:45:06Oh a bit jarring
00:45:07But that was just flowed man
00:45:09Thank you
00:45:10Really cool
00:45:11And I love your fit
00:45:12I love that you know who you are
00:45:14Thank you
00:45:15That was cool
00:45:16Masha
00:45:17Michael I'm gonna say just a couple things for you
00:45:19You sort of faulted here and there
00:45:21On some of your notes
00:45:22That's forgivable
00:45:23Okay
00:45:23But listen to when you're listening to a track
00:45:27Don't rush yourself in it
00:45:29Just try and sit in it a bit more
00:45:31Otherwise I think you did a sterling
00:45:33A great job
00:45:34That's some great advice
00:45:35I'll take that
00:45:35I'm gonna give you your first yes
00:45:38Thank you
00:45:38You need two out of three at least
00:45:40Well I'll give you the second yes
00:45:42Oh
00:45:43Hey
00:45:44It's a yes from me too
00:45:45Yay
00:45:45Three yeses
00:45:46Yeah
00:45:46Thank you
00:45:47Brilliant
00:45:48We'll see you when we hand our golden tickets
00:45:50The next mission for you is to walk out of here
00:45:53With a golden ticket this afternoon
00:45:55I appreciate it
00:45:55Good luck man
00:45:56Hopefully I see you with a golden ticket
00:45:58Thank you
00:45:58Thank you
00:45:59Thank you Michael
00:46:00Well done Michael
00:46:00Thank you so much
00:46:01That was just really great
00:46:02Lovely meeting y'all
00:46:03That was good
00:46:06How did you go
00:46:07How did you go
00:46:08How did you go
00:46:10Three yeses
00:46:14I'm so excited
00:46:15I can't love it
00:46:17Really
00:46:18That's what I was trying to impress
00:46:19Really
00:46:20Next
00:46:21I never do this
00:46:23Ever
00:46:24You're coming back to re-audition
00:46:25With a new song
00:46:28As her second shot at auditioning approaches
00:46:30Time is running out for Sophie
00:46:33This is lyrics
00:46:34You know them
00:46:36Yeah I know
00:46:36I don't know why
00:46:37I just want them
00:46:39I know a lot of people
00:46:40Don't get a second chance
00:46:41So this has to be the best performance of my whole life
00:46:44Will Sophie get redemption
00:46:46I'm worried but it's fine
00:46:48It's fine
00:46:48Or will it have all been for nothing
00:46:51And later
00:46:52Kyle goes into uncharted waters
00:46:55Just up here on our nine o'clock
00:46:57That's where the navy base is
00:46:59To do what no judge has done before
00:47:02But will it be enough to convince Kyle
00:47:05But you think you're ready
00:47:06I'm ready
00:47:07But do I think you're ready
00:47:12Wow
00:47:14And later
00:47:15It brings me no joy
00:47:17To make it any more difficult than it already is
00:47:20The golden ticket
00:47:22Is going to be awarded
00:47:24To
00:47:44Wish me luck
00:47:46This year we have travelled further than ever before
00:47:50To find the diamonds in the rough
00:47:52We are auditioning singers for Australian Idol
00:47:55How was that guys?
00:47:57Give it up for Riley everyone
00:47:59Our judges have found outstanding singers
00:48:01Who have earned their spot in the top 30
00:48:06But that doesn't mean the hunt is over
00:48:08Kyle is on a mission
00:48:10To find the next Australian Idol
00:48:13So I'm going to jump on the little rubber ducky
00:48:15And we're going to stealth it into the navy base
00:48:18Jump on board
00:48:20And look for this woman
00:48:21A navy officer that apparently is an angelic singer
00:48:28My name is leading seaman Maddie Lee
00:48:30I'm 27 years old
00:48:31And I'm a maritime personnel operator
00:48:33Of the Royal Australian Navy
00:48:35I've been in for eight and a half years now
00:48:37And I'm really proud to be wearing this uniform
00:48:40Every day as a serving member
00:48:41It's definitely been challenging
00:48:42But I've loved every minute of it
00:48:45Five minutes to eight o'clock sir
00:48:47Very good
00:48:47I'm always singing around the ship
00:48:50And it definitely helps me get through all those tough times
00:48:55Has helped me get through a lot of my long deployments
00:48:58And being away
00:48:58It really helps me get through my day
00:49:03Hey guys
00:49:05Oh, oh
00:49:06I get the navy gear
00:49:07Oh, this is fantastic
00:49:10Wish me luck
00:49:15We're away
00:49:18Just up here on our nine o'clock
00:49:21That's where the navy base is
00:49:23So we're going to swing into the nine
00:49:25We're going to sneak on board
00:49:35I'm pretty excited about it
00:49:36I've never been on a naval ship
00:49:38Oh, it's exciting
00:49:39I've done deep sea fishing
00:49:41It's about as close as it gets
00:49:43Thank you guys
00:49:45The best
00:49:53Captain
00:49:55How are you sir?
00:49:56Do I salute?
00:49:56All right
00:49:57Nice to meet you
00:49:58Oh, oh
00:49:59Am I allowed to push any of these buttons?
00:50:02What does that do?
00:50:04Oh my lord
00:50:06I think I've started a war
00:50:10Sorry
00:50:14Replace
00:50:16Replace
00:50:23Leading seaman Lee
00:50:26Hello
00:50:27How are you?
00:50:28I'm good
00:50:29I'm Captain Kyle
00:50:30Oh, Captain Kyle
00:50:31Nice to meet you
00:50:32Sorry, the real captain's over there
00:50:33They said you're quite the singer
00:50:35Is that right?
00:50:35I am
00:50:36Everyone from the captain
00:50:37To right down
00:50:38Said you are
00:50:40Australia's greatest naval singer
00:50:41But you're exactly what we're looking for
00:50:44Amazing
00:50:45And I thought while we're here now
00:50:46Yeah
00:50:47Might as well audition here in front of everyone
00:50:49Right now
00:50:51What is going on?
00:50:55I, I'm in shock
00:50:56I'm sick
00:50:57I'm sort of shaking
00:51:02Just take a second
00:51:03Because there's a few people that have gathered
00:51:05Oh, okay
00:51:06Just to show you some support
00:51:08You've got all your friends on the ship here
00:51:10And you've got your own navy band
00:51:12Let's go down
00:51:13Let's go down, everyone
00:51:30I'm so nervous now
00:51:32But I'm ready
00:51:34I'm ready
00:51:34This is my time now
00:51:35I'm ready to go
00:51:40Yeah!
00:51:46Maddie's here
00:51:46Maddie's going to audition
00:51:48If she does have what it takes
00:51:50I'll drag her back to Idol HQ
00:51:51And let her audition for all three judges
00:51:54Do you want to see Maddie do her thing, everyone?
00:51:58Take a step up to the microphone, Maddie
00:52:00Good luck, honey
00:52:00Wish her the very best
00:52:11Everyone about what he's doing
00:52:14How it all turned to lights
00:52:20Sometimes I think that's better
00:52:23To never ask why
00:52:27To never ask why
00:52:30Ever worried that it might be ruined
00:52:34Does it make you want to cry?
00:52:38Oh, when you're out there doing what you're doing
00:52:42Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by?
00:52:48Where there is desire
00:52:50There is gonna be a flame
00:52:52Where there is a flame
00:52:54Someone's bound to get burned
00:52:57Just because it burns
00:53:00Doesn't mean you're gonna die
00:53:02Gotta get up and try
00:53:15And try, try, try
00:53:22Gotta get up and try, try, try
00:53:28Yeah!
00:53:34Maddie, you did a great job, though your captain wasn't lying.
00:53:38That's fantastic.
00:53:39I'm going to take a couple of minutes
00:53:41and we'll let you guys know whether we're going to take her
00:53:43on the idle journey.
00:53:45I was pretty nervous, but I felt good in the end.
00:53:47Yeah, I think I got into the groove of it once it really picked up.
00:53:50So, yeah, I'm a bit nervous, so I really want him to say yes.
00:53:55You've got all your family out here that came out to watch you.
00:53:58Yeah.
00:53:59They're supposed to be doing some sort of work right now, aren't they?
00:54:02Yeah, this is work.
00:54:03What would you be doing if you weren't here?
00:54:04I'd be in my office right now.
00:54:06Right.
00:54:07Would you put this part of your career on hold
00:54:09for the chance to hit the Australian Idol stage?
00:54:12And should I even ask you to do that?
00:54:14You know what I mean?
00:54:15Like, this is a lot of difficulty.
00:54:17I'm ready to take that next step.
00:54:19Music is my passion.
00:54:20But you think you're ready.
00:54:20Do I think you're ready?
00:54:30I'd like to officially bring you back to Idol HQ
00:54:34and you'll either get a golden ticket or you won't get one.
00:54:37Oh, my God.
00:54:38Are you in?
00:54:39Yes.
00:54:39You're in.
00:54:40She's coming with me, everyone.
00:54:42She's coming with us.
00:54:44Yeah.
00:54:48Good luck, you guys.
00:54:49You'll have to defend the country on your own.
00:54:51I'm taking this one to Idol headquarters.
00:54:54Bye, everyone.
00:55:18Wow.
00:55:20So much.
00:55:21I've been waiting for such a long time.
00:55:25And it's finally happening.
00:55:29Oh, God.
00:55:33Oh.
00:55:36Coming up, it's Sophie's moment of truth.
00:55:40As I said before, we don't let anyone do it again.
00:55:44Can she deliver when it counts?
00:55:49Then, a final judgment face-off.
00:55:53This is a numbers game and we can only choose one of you.
00:55:56But who will get a golden ticket?
00:55:59The singer that we are giving the golden ticket to will be...
00:56:21With five singers in the waiting room, our next hopeful wants to be number six.
00:56:33And he's come all the way from the Apple Isle to make it happen.
00:56:37I'm Jacob.
00:56:38I'm 20.
00:56:38I'm from Exeter, just outside of Launceston in Tasmania.
00:56:46You don't really expect a hip-hop artist to be living out in the country like this.
00:56:50We've got chickens.
00:56:51We've got ducks.
00:56:52We've got sheep.
00:56:53They're the ducks.
00:56:54They're actually my favourite animal.
00:56:57When he came from a lot, we still obviously had a roof over our heads and food to eat and
00:57:01stuff like that.
00:57:03So, for me, hip-hop is just a way to escape reality.
00:57:06Don't tell me this is all for nothing It's about true struggles and stuff in your life.
00:57:13I can relate to that.
00:57:15When I was a younger teenager, I started getting into, you know, hanging around the wrong people,
00:57:20getting into the wrong sort of things like that.
00:57:23The only thing that pulled me out of that sort of rut was hip-hop.
00:57:27Hip-hop, for me, definitely saved my life.
00:57:30My music represents passion, drive and love for music, to be honest.
00:57:35So, that's my dream, being able to do what I love.
00:57:44Who do we have here?
00:57:46I'm Jacob.
00:57:47Jacob, where are you from?
00:57:49I'm from Exeter in Tasmania.
00:57:51You're a Tassie boy.
00:57:52Yeah.
00:57:53Okay, where on the map?
00:57:55North Tasmania.
00:57:56Northern tip of Tasmania.
00:57:59Yeah, nearly the tip, just down the river.
00:58:01So, what kind of artist are you, Jacob, or would you want to be?
00:58:04I'm like a mix between hip-hop and, I'll tell you, pop.
00:58:09Sort of like, you know, like Kid Leroy, Juice WRLD, that sort of style.
00:58:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:58:13When you listen to Juice WRLD and Kid Leroy, it's like, it's so melodic.
00:58:17Yeah, and I like it because it's so raw.
00:58:19It's emotional.
00:58:20Yeah, it is angst.
00:58:21Yeah.
00:58:22Thrown out in artistry.
00:58:24Yeah, exactly.
00:58:25What are you going to do today?
00:58:26Um, I'm going to sing a rendition of Seven Years by Lucas Graham, and it's a hip-hop remix.
00:58:32Cool.
00:58:32Yeah, remix.
00:58:33Nice.
00:58:34Yep.
00:58:35When you're ready, mate, take your time.
00:58:37No stress.
00:58:38Yep.
00:58:38We want you to do well.
00:58:39Awesome.
00:58:39No worries, man.
00:58:47Once I was seven years old, my mom had told me to make yourself some friends, you'll be lonely.
00:58:55Once I was seven years old.
00:59:01As a young man, I just wanted to be famous.
00:59:03Hop out, pop out, what you're saying?
00:59:05I was dreaming on the biggest of the stages.
00:59:07Singing to the wiggles, I was tested for the greatness.
00:59:09It was just me, my guitar.
00:59:11Singing to my family, saying I go far.
00:59:13Dreaming on the Jets and the Lamborghini cars.
00:59:15I was running for the hills, trying to look out at the park.
00:59:17All of these bullies came through.
00:59:19Yelling in the crowd, all they ever say is boo.
00:59:21I was trying to figure out what the hell I do.
00:59:23Then I got it in the mood that I should just have a mood.
00:59:26I didn't want to move.
00:59:28But I had to.
00:59:30I didn't want to move.
00:59:32But I had to.
00:59:33You say the HD has me feeling so crazy.
00:59:37And I know that it's the only thing that's made me.
00:59:41It's made my name.
00:59:43It's made my name.
00:59:45It's made my name.
00:59:47Once I was seven years old, my mom had told me to make yourself some friends, you'll be lonely.
00:59:55Once I was seven years old.
01:00:03Bro, I loved it.
01:00:08I was like, usually rappers, singers, they're really good at one and not so good at the other.
01:00:15And you started singing and I was like, hey, this guy's a singer.
01:00:19Yeah.
01:00:19And then I thought, so his rapping is going to be crap.
01:00:22And then it was far from it.
01:00:23I believed it.
01:00:25You're not the best singer we've ever had on this concert by any stretch of the imagination.
01:00:30Yeah.
01:00:30But I ate it up.
01:00:32I believed it.
01:00:32It was raw.
01:00:34It was very real.
01:00:35It's your life in art.
01:00:37Yeah.
01:00:37And I loved it.
01:00:40I'm going to say yes.
01:00:41Thank you so much.
01:00:43What do you guys think?
01:00:44You know, Jacob, I don't know how far you can go in this.
01:00:47But just because you had the chutzpah, you know, and the belief in yourself to say,
01:00:53Yeah.
01:00:53I'm coming to Sydney.
01:00:55I'm going to show y'all on Australian Idol what I want to do.
01:01:00But I really like your vibe.
01:01:02It's a yes for me, Jacob.
01:01:04Thank you so much.
01:01:06I'm saying yes.
01:01:08Thank you so much.
01:01:09Three yeses, bro.
01:01:10Now it's up to you.
01:01:12Yeah.
01:01:12I don't know the future, but golden tickets, the next thing you need to try and walk away
01:01:17with.
01:01:17Yeah.
01:01:18Good on you, man.
01:01:19I'll come back for it.
01:01:20Jacob.
01:01:21Awesome.
01:01:21Thank you, guys.
01:01:22We'll call him Mappatazzi for short.
01:01:24Thank you, everybody.
01:01:25No worries, matey.
01:01:26See you, buddy.
01:01:26See ya.
01:01:27You're welcome.
01:01:30I got it.
01:01:31Yeah.
01:01:35Well done.
01:01:36I'm getting in.
01:01:39Well done.
01:01:41Something about him I really like.
01:01:43He just, like, has his own thing going on.
01:01:45That's what I want.
01:01:45It's like, oh, okay.
01:01:46Yeah, yeah.
01:01:47I like, yeah, yeah.
01:01:48That's exactly right.
01:01:49Yeah.
01:01:49I liked him.
01:01:54Hello.
01:01:54Hello.
01:01:56What's up, brother?
01:01:56I like that a lot.
01:01:58I really like that.
01:01:59That was cool.
01:01:59Yeah.
01:02:00I'm Jacob.
01:02:01How's it going, brother?
01:02:02Trey.
01:02:03Jacob, charging onto the scene as another rapper.
01:02:05This is really putting Trey and Michael on notice.
01:02:09Last one, everyone.
01:02:10Good luck, everybody.
01:02:13The last remaining hopeful is Melbourne model Sophie, who struggled to let her personality
01:02:19shine earlier today.
01:02:21I didn't expect a young, beautiful girl to come in and sing old, sad lady songs.
01:02:27And in a rare twist, we'll re-audition with a new song.
01:02:32Can I hit you the audition?
01:02:34Okay, cool.
01:02:34I'm really passionate about this and I want this so bad.
01:02:37So I think it's about just, like, focusing in now.
01:02:40And, like, really trying to impress him this time.
01:02:42I feel like I can't lack, you know?
01:02:43So I've got to lock in.
01:02:46Oh, hey, Sophie.
01:02:47Welcome back.
01:02:48I'm back.
01:02:48Oh, my God.
01:02:49Now, as I said before, we don't let anyone do it again.
01:02:53But we gave you a little challenge to come up with something new that actually shows us
01:02:58who you are.
01:02:59What have you chosen?
01:03:00We've got Tainted Love.
01:03:02Oh.
01:03:03Nice.
01:03:04Whenever you're ready.
01:03:05When you're ready, okay?
01:03:37Amazing stage presence.
01:04:01I love you, but you hurt me so.
01:04:06Now I've got to back my things and go.
01:04:10There it is.
01:04:11Once I ran to you, now I'm wrong for you.
01:04:16This tainted love you've given, I give you all the girl can give you.
01:04:21Let my tears in, that's my dearly, oh.
01:04:25Tainted love, oh.
01:04:27Tainted love.
01:04:29Don't touch me with your tainted love.
01:04:33Oh.
01:04:33Tainted love.
01:04:36Yeah.
01:04:37Wow.
01:04:39Yeah, baby.
01:04:41That's exactly what I was hoping you would do.
01:04:44You put on a show because you tick so many boxes.
01:04:48I just want us to be super, super sure.
01:04:51And you did a great version of that song.
01:04:53I love your style, I love you, and I think, you know, you're going to learn more about
01:04:58your performance level if you get through to this, you know what I mean?
01:05:01For sure.
01:05:02Like, I think there's a lot there.
01:05:03You're sassy, you're sexy, you know, and you've got a voice.
01:05:07Maybe I've enjoyed her that much that maybe we should get her to come back and sing a third
01:05:10song, just to be sure.
01:05:12Please.
01:05:14That would be the end of me, I think.
01:05:38Thank you so much.
01:05:50Thank you so much.
01:05:52Next time we see you, we'll be handing out golden tickets to people that will go through
01:05:56to the next round.
01:05:57Okay, cool.
01:05:58What a joy.
01:05:59Oh, thank you.
01:06:00Thank you for letting me sing two times, you know?
01:06:02Oh, polite as well.
01:06:03Yep, she's super cool.
01:06:04That's great.
01:06:05Yeah, she'll be an interesting one.
01:06:06Yeah, she's happy.
01:06:08This is fast.
01:06:09This is cute.
01:06:12We made it!
01:06:17I'm feeling super grateful.
01:06:19I think this is just motivation to keep going through the next few rounds.
01:06:26Ah!
01:06:27Hi, hello.
01:06:28Oh my God, that was crazy.
01:06:29I'm so finished.
01:06:30Trey, Harry, love that meme.
01:06:31Trey and Harry.
01:06:31Yeah, I really want that golden ticket, and I'll do anything it takes to get it.
01:06:37With seven incredible singers in the waiting room, we have some of the toughest head-to-heads
01:06:43yet.
01:06:45Whose idol dream continues?
01:06:47I don't want to drag this out any longer.
01:06:49And whose dream is over.
01:06:52The golden ticket is going to be awarded to...
01:07:06As the sun sets on day five of auditions, it's time to get down to business and uncover
01:07:12the next Australian idol.
01:07:14With 17 golden tickets already gone, our hopefuls are beginning to feel the competition.
01:07:21I know that, like, we're probably not all going to get a ticket.
01:07:24The talent's, like, unreal.
01:07:27Everyone's such a different style.
01:07:29Obviously, you know, nervous to go up against them.
01:07:32There's a few similar artists in my group, so I am pretty scared.
01:07:37But music is my one and only passion.
01:07:39I need this.
01:07:46This will probably be a very tough one, because they're all pretty good.
01:07:49Yeah.
01:07:50This guy, he's fantastic.
01:07:51He was good.
01:07:52Swaggy guy down there.
01:07:53Oh, he was good, too.
01:07:54I like this guy's vibe.
01:07:56She was amazing.
01:07:58I mean, this is hard.
01:08:00I went down to the Sydney Naval Yards, where I found this young naval girl, Maddie.
01:08:08Ooh, okay, cool.
01:08:11I've only met Kyle, but Marsha and Amy, they're some big names, so I'm definitely, I'm a bit
01:08:17nervous.
01:08:18All right, let's bring them in.
01:08:20First up, representing R&B and hip-hop.
01:08:23It's young dad, Trey, data analyst, Michael, and small-town Tassie artist, Jacob.
01:08:31I'm doing this for my wife, my daughters.
01:08:34I want to show my girls that anything is possible when you chase after your dreams.
01:08:39So this is definitely a huge step.
01:08:42Moving away from just being a data analyst to a musician, and that's the dream.
01:08:45I feel like we've just scratched the surface of what I can give, and we can give more.
01:08:51I've come all the way from Tasmania.
01:08:53I want to be able to put my entire state on the map.
01:08:56I've worked so hard for it, it's time to become a collector.
01:09:01Ready?
01:09:01Yo.
01:09:02Good luck.
01:09:08Wow, they're real nervous.
01:09:16Oh, the OGs are back.
01:09:18What's up, fellas?
01:09:22Trey.
01:09:23Yes.
01:09:24Our doting dad, Michael, our data analyst, and Jacob, the Tassie Kid Leroy.
01:09:32Oh, ish.
01:09:33The three of you all were very talented, and what you brought to the table was really cool.
01:09:38But this is a numbers game, and we can only choose one of you.
01:09:43All three of you bring such different flavors to this competition.
01:09:48But we always came back to one person, and that person is, it's going to be you, Trey.
01:10:05Thank you so much.
01:10:06Well done, buddy.
01:10:07Thank you, Michael and Jacob.
01:10:09Thank you very much.
01:10:10Appreciate meeting you guys.
01:10:11Thank you so much.
01:10:17Trey, come and get your golden ticket.
01:10:19Welcome to the Idol Top 30, my friend.
01:10:22Well done, bro.
01:10:23Excellent work, man.
01:10:24Welcome, welcome.
01:10:25Excellent job.
01:10:25Good to see you.
01:10:26Well done.
01:10:26Wow.
01:10:27You look so tough, but you're also just this big softie, aren't you?
01:10:31Nah, definitely a big softie.
01:10:32Definitely a big softie.
01:10:34You know what?
01:10:34Having a baby just melts all that hard ass away.
01:10:37Yeah, it changes you.
01:10:38We're so proud of you.
01:10:39Thank you so much.
01:10:40You're welcome.
01:10:40It means a lot to me.
01:10:41Thank you, Trey.
01:10:42Represent hard, mate.
01:10:43I will.
01:10:43You're a real contender.
01:10:44Good luck.
01:10:45Yeah, well done.
01:10:45Good job.
01:10:51Say, come on, dad.
01:10:53Come on, daddy.
01:10:59Take it, dad, look.
01:11:03Do you want to hold it?
01:11:04Oh, it's so shiny.
01:11:07It's the most beautiful thing to share this with my wife and daughter.
01:11:10My girls, you know, they keep me going.
01:11:13Oh, congratulations.
01:11:14That's awesome.
01:11:15Thank you, baby.
01:11:16It's a long road ahead of us still, so I'm just excited for what's to come.
01:11:21Can I sit here?
01:11:21Don't bend the golden ticket.
01:11:24What are you doing?
01:11:25Oh, sorry, sorry.
01:11:26Next up to face the judges, it's Melbourne model Sophie and Ballarat barber Harry.
01:11:37I hope I was able to redeem what Kyle thought I was lacking.
01:11:40Getting this golden ticket could do a lot with my career, but we're probably not all going
01:11:45to get a ticket.
01:11:46In the back of my mind, I am thinking about that.
01:11:49I am worried that my audition could potentially cost me the golden ticket.
01:11:53I was a little bit nervous, and that kind of put me on the back foot.
01:11:55I'm hoping that they saw through my performance.
01:11:59I've got a lot to showcase.
01:12:01I'm hoping I can get to do that.
01:12:04Hi.
01:12:05Oh, hello.
01:12:06Hello.
01:12:07It's the good looking two.
01:12:09Sophie, our art pop model out of Melbourne.
01:12:12And we've got Harry, the barber from Ballarat.
01:12:16That's the one.
01:12:17Sophie, you did the sad old lady song.
01:12:19Yep.
01:12:19And then we had to get you to come back and zip it up.
01:12:22What did you do?
01:12:23Tainted Love.
01:12:24I cannot stand the way you see.
01:12:27I love you, but you hurt me so.
01:12:30Now I've got to back my heart.
01:12:32Thanks, thank you.
01:12:34That was good.
01:12:35And Harry, you fluffed the lyrics.
01:12:37I did.
01:12:38But you recuperated.
01:12:41And you're watching this all through the eyes.
01:12:50You just got to roll with the punches.
01:12:52That's right.
01:12:52And you recovered.
01:12:54It's a quite tough decision with you two, as you can imagine.
01:13:00You know, Idle's about the sound, the style.
01:13:04And you both definitely have elements of that in what you brought to the table.
01:13:09I don't want to drag this out any longer.
01:13:12Sophie and Harry, it brings me no joy to make it any more difficult than it already is.
01:13:20The golden ticket is going to be awarded to...
01:13:35I don't want to drag this out any longer.
01:13:37You both get one.
01:14:05step forward and claim your victory well done guys well done harry thank you so much well done
