00:00:01From around Australia, thousands auditioned, but only three remain.
00:00:06Gisella from WA, Marshall Hamburger from Queensland, and Iris from Coltan in New South Wales.
00:00:12Tonight, you will crown the winner. Welcome to the Live Idol Grand Finale.
00:00:19It feels like forever ago, I didn't think I'd get through that day.
00:00:24I was like an out-of-body experience.
00:00:27A minute ago, I was at school, and now I'm in the grand finale of Australian Idol.
00:00:32It definitely doesn't feel real at all.
00:00:35I never thought Little On Me would make it this far.
00:00:39Crazy.
00:00:43I am unwritten, carry my mind, I'm undefined.
00:00:50I'm just thinking, pens in my head, ending unplanned.
00:00:59I'm staring at the plane pace before you.
00:01:02Up and out the dirty window.
00:01:06When you take for something in the distance, so close you almost taste it.
00:01:15Feel the rain on your skin.
00:01:17No one else can feel it for you.
00:01:20Only you can let it in.
00:01:21No one else, no one else can speak a word from God.
00:01:25Train yourself in words unspoken.
00:01:27Leave your life with thoughts right open till it is.
00:01:31The way of what begins, the rest is still written.
00:01:41I break tradition.
00:01:44Sometimes I try.
00:01:46But it's like a light, yeah.
00:01:49We've been conditioned to my biggest face.
00:01:54But I can't live that way, yeah.
00:01:57Stay at the bright space before you.
00:02:00Open up the dirty window.
00:02:02When you start to illuminate the words that you cannot find.
00:02:06You can just put something in the distance.
00:02:08So close you can almost taste it.
00:02:10Release your inhibition.
00:02:12Feel the rain on your skin.
00:02:14No one else can feel it for you.
00:02:16Only you can let it in.
00:02:18No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips.
00:02:22Judge yourself in words unspoken.
00:02:24Live your life with thoughts right open.
00:02:26Today is where your love begins.
00:02:28The rest is still written.
00:02:30No one else can feel it for you.
00:02:32Only you can let it in.
00:02:34No one else, no one else can speak the words on your lips.
00:02:38Judge yourself in words unspoken.
00:02:40Live your life with thoughts right open.
00:02:42Today is where your love begins.
00:02:44The rest is still written.
00:03:09Fel Olá I told you and your change Methodist.
00:03:16to see the top 12 back on the stage.

00:06:09The whole town is there behind her.
00:06:12She's really feeling the love.
00:06:13What's up, Colcane?
00:06:15They're holding up sausages?
00:06:16I think they're waving sausages.
00:06:18We also have a huge welcome
00:06:19to Marshall Hamburger supporters
00:06:21on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
00:06:24Look at them up there.
00:06:26Hello to all you supporting your burger boy.
00:06:29I love it.
00:06:30And say hello to Team Gisela.
00:06:34Watching from Perth in WA.
00:06:37Look at them all.
00:06:37Hi, guys.
00:06:40Amazing.
00:06:41All right.
00:06:42Well, as they get ready to perform,
00:06:43it's great to have all this hometown support
00:06:46and it just highlights how far our idols have come.
00:06:49Absolutely.
00:06:50Three very different artists
00:06:52from three different states of Australia.
00:06:55Well, our first grand finalist to take to the stage
00:06:59was born with a natural talent.
00:07:02Just a young girl with a big voice
00:07:04well beyond her years.
00:07:06Australia, this is Gisela.
00:07:14Before I was singing, I was a dancer
00:07:16and I remember my dance class at school
00:07:19and I start singing the song
00:07:21and I used to get into trouble
00:07:22because I wasn't meant to be singing.
00:07:25My friends are like,
00:07:25do you know you sing when you dance?
00:07:27And I'm like, really?
00:07:29Yeah.
00:07:32Gisela was definitely the child
00:07:33that didn't give us the choice.
00:07:35You would get in a concert no matter what.
00:07:38I'm singing.
00:07:39Here it comes.
00:07:40Yes.
00:07:41As a kid, she's always wanted to perform.
00:07:43She gets up at par, she gets up at school.
00:07:45She's always, you know, the one who sings the anthem.
00:07:47She loves to dress up.
00:07:48She loves to sing.
00:07:49She loves to perform.
00:07:51And now look where she is.
00:07:53Like, it's just crazy.
00:07:54It's surreal.
00:07:55Extremely surreal because you think,
00:07:57well, that's my daughter.
00:07:58Oh, my gosh, you know.
00:07:59She's always going to be my little girl.
00:08:01And, you know, to see her go from this
00:08:03to what she is now is just...
00:08:06Oh, stop.
00:08:07Don't stop.
00:08:08Don't stop.
00:08:09I'm all right.
00:08:10I'm all right.
00:08:10It's fine.
00:08:11I'm just going to breathe.
00:08:11That's what happens.
00:08:14Gisela is definitely the person
00:08:16to get the music started.
00:08:16Whenever there's just quiet,
00:08:17you just hear her singing.
00:08:19And it's not like I can go,
00:08:20oh, stop.
00:08:20It's ill.
00:08:21It's like, don't stop.
00:08:22It sounds amazing.
00:08:23Don't stop.
00:08:24How can this little 16-year-old
00:08:27have a voice that big?
00:08:29So when you feel like hope is gone,
00:08:33then look inside you and be strong.
00:08:37No one can take on those songs,
00:08:39like those Mariah Carey songs,
00:08:40Celine Dion songs.
00:08:41No one can take them on but her.
00:08:43Yeah, exactly.
00:08:43That is a literal pop star,
00:08:46like pop superstar.
00:08:48Winning Australian Idol
00:08:50would definitely be a dream come true
00:08:52for Gisela.
00:08:53Definitely.
00:08:53Yeah.
00:08:54And whatever happens,
00:08:55we're proud of her.
00:08:56Oh, look.
00:08:56You know?
00:08:57Remember what we said?
00:08:58We said,
00:08:59if she makes it to top 12,
00:09:01we're happy.
00:09:02And then we went,
00:09:02if she makes it to top 8,
00:09:03we're happy with that.
00:09:05Oh, my God.
00:09:05If she makes it to top 6,
00:09:06we're happy with that.
00:09:07Oh, my God.
00:09:07Top 3.
00:09:08Top 3.
00:09:09And finals.
00:09:09It's just the icing on the cake.
00:09:11And whatever comes from this
00:09:12is just amazing
00:09:14because I know she's got
00:09:14a big world out in front of her.
00:09:33That's when there's nothing
00:09:36But a slow-glowing dream
00:09:41That your fears seem to hide
00:09:46Deep inside your mind
00:09:51All alone I have cried
00:09:56Silent tears full of pride
00:10:01In a world made of steel
00:10:07Made of stone
00:10:12What a feeling
00:10:22I can't have it all
00:10:26Now I'm dancing
00:10:27For my love

00:10:37And make it happen

00:11:08Oh, my God
00:11:32I might look like I'm crying
00:11:34but your dad nearly made me cry
00:11:37And then you started singing
00:11:39And then I just spent
00:11:40the entire time not listening
00:11:41going
00:11:44You, to watch you grow
00:11:46To listen to your dad
00:11:47and your mum talk about you

00:15:53dream making moments
00:15:54from the first auditions
00:15:56through to our epic live shows
00:15:58let's take a look back
00:15:59at some of the highlights
00:16:05Alright
00:16:05Australian Idol audition
00:16:07let's go
00:16:10This show never fails to surprise us
00:16:12Oh
00:16:13Oh Amy
00:16:14it's not going to get you
00:16:15and this season
00:16:16was no exception
00:16:19Australian Idol is like a box of chocolate
00:16:22You're like some sort of demon
00:16:24You never know what you're going to get
00:16:27We've never seen such a wide range of people auditioning
00:16:34From rock to rap
00:16:36First rap mix
00:16:37Aussie Idol
00:16:38If you want me let me know
00:16:39I can race round the globe
00:16:41Beat boxes
00:16:44Khai
00:16:44Kale
00:16:45I did have to have a chat to Amy
00:16:47because I'm marketed as the tough, no nonsense judge
00:16:50Sounds really harsh
00:16:51but probably not the best song choice
00:16:53I feel like it was messy
00:16:54The vocals just let you down today man
00:16:58Like Darl, stick to your own lane
00:17:01Yep!
00:17:02Hey!
00:17:02Told ya, told ya!
00:17:04I can do that.
00:17:05Unfortunately, Carl thinks he's just as talented, if not more so, than these kids.
00:17:09Get the knees into it!
00:17:12Oh my God!
00:17:13I'm glad he's having me.
00:17:14Oh my God!
00:17:16Guess what?
00:17:17He ain't.
00:17:22He's actually a real softie.
00:17:25Beautiful.
00:17:27Sorry.
00:17:27I really loved it.
00:17:29Love you, Carl.
00:17:30I love you, baby.
00:17:31Marsha Hines, what a queen.
00:17:34Well, she went rogue this year.
00:17:35I gave Gisela one of these already.
00:17:41So that's set the benchmark for me to also go rogue.
00:17:44This year, it's a top 31.
00:17:48When these guys go rogue, I want to be annoyed with them, but I can't.
00:17:52They ended up finding some incredible talent.
00:17:55Hey now, you're a monster.
00:17:57Get your game on.
00:17:57Gonna play.
00:17:59As much as I hate to say this, Carl was right.
00:18:03Tom.
00:18:06We judges did a great job.
00:18:08Fast pass.
00:18:09Done.
00:18:10We thought last year's talent set the bar really high.
00:18:14This year, it's eclipsed anything we've ever done.
00:18:17I love being a judge on this show.
00:18:19One of the best jobs ever.
00:18:20Oh my God!
00:18:21What are you saying?
00:18:22Every year we think, how can the bar be raised?
00:18:24Listen, look where we are.
00:18:33I'd really like to kiss you if that's okay.
00:18:36I've been thinking the same thing all day.
00:18:40The greatest love story of the year is here.
00:18:46What do you look for in a guy?
00:18:47Um, you.
00:18:49From their first meeting.
00:18:51It felt like butterflies in your stomach.
00:18:52I couldn't stop blushing.
00:18:54I couldn't stop smiling.
00:18:55To their first kiss.
00:18:57I have so much love to give and I want to give it to you.
00:18:59This is the moment they've waited for their entire life.
00:19:03Probably the best day I've ever had.
00:19:05Pretty hard to top this, to be honest.
00:19:07But finding love isn't always easy.
00:19:10I've got my hands full.
00:19:12We have two ladies leaving.
00:19:14They're not waiting.
00:19:15Hearts will break.
00:19:17I don't know if I can do this.
00:19:18It's been less than 24 hours and we've already lost two girls.
00:19:22What?
00:19:23I didn't think it would be this hard.
00:19:25I'm not going to lie.
00:19:26It's probably the worst I've actually ever been hurt.
00:19:28Can I not do this?
00:19:31Hearts will soar.
00:19:34I'm falling really hard and fast.
00:19:35I'm totally smitten.
00:19:37I get the tingle in my toes.
00:19:38This is real love.
00:19:40I'm falling for you.
00:19:41I do hope that you'll catch me.
00:19:43And there's nothing else like it.
00:19:46When you smile, it lights up the world.
00:19:49I love you.
00:19:50And which of our past farmers will propose?
00:19:55Yes.
00:19:56Brand new Farmer Wants a Wife on 7.
00:20:02The love starts Easter Monday on 7.

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

00:48:07It's just effortless and I haven't heard a voice like yours in such a long time
00:48:11and I know that this won't be the last time we all hear your voice.

00:48:19Go West Aussies.

00:48:25Gisella, you know, you've won.
00:48:27It doesn't matter.
00:48:28You've won because you've introduced yourself to the Australian public

00:56:06And now you've surprised us with new music
00:56:09Tell us about the new song, Maybe
00:56:10It's so good
00:56:11It's such a banger
00:56:12Oh, I appreciate it
00:56:13Well, I did do a movie
00:56:15Although Amy as well
00:56:16Yeah
00:56:16I've seen the shorts for you as a fighter
00:56:20I've made a couple of movies
00:56:21But I don't think you'll see any of them
00:56:23I've seen one of them
00:56:23I don't want to see the sequel
00:56:26We don't go looking for them
00:56:27We don't go looking for them
00:56:27We're covered at home
00:56:28Where they belong
00:56:29Never to be seen
00:56:30Different category
00:56:31On an old Nokia somewhere
00:56:34On the store
00:56:36But no, the song
00:56:38It's the first release in a while
00:56:39But I've taken almost four years
00:56:41Actually over four years to make the album
00:56:43And it's finally finished
00:56:44I've been pretty busy this year
00:56:46Just making that
00:56:46And then this is the first thing I've released
00:56:48For ages
00:56:49So there's heaps more music to come
00:56:51After this as well
00:56:52But it's the first time
00:56:53First time I'm singing this song
00:56:55So it's
00:56:56So good
00:56:57Sang the hell out of it
00:56:58Of course
00:56:58Marsha
00:56:59I mean look at how far Guy has come
00:57:01Are you getting flashbacks
00:57:02To when he first walked into the audition room
00:57:04All those years ago
00:57:06You know the moment I heard
00:57:08I heard
00:57:09Guy
00:57:10He had the most amazing vocabulary
00:57:13Of any singer
00:57:14I've ever heard
00:57:15You know you're the bomb man
00:57:17I'm so proud of you
00:57:18I am
00:57:19You are something else
00:57:20I think the perspective as well
00:57:24From my end
00:57:25Is I was so nervous
00:57:27And just when Marsha
00:57:29Has her
00:57:29Oh
00:57:30That was just beautiful
00:57:33Like
00:57:34Honestly what you do
00:57:35For the contestants
00:57:36Is just so nurturing
00:57:37And it puts them at peace
00:57:38And you did that for me
00:57:39And you still
00:57:40My pleasure Guy
00:57:41Truly
00:57:41My pleasure
00:57:42It's very calming
00:57:43Isn't it
00:57:43The Marsha energy
00:57:45The Marsha effect
00:57:46And then you've got Kyle
00:57:48I'm like a lavender spray too
00:57:50Aren't I
00:57:51You are
00:57:51Yes
00:57:52Like a lavender spray
00:57:53You know what
00:57:53I'm a bit annoyed
00:57:54Because every time
00:57:56You bring out a new song
00:57:58You send it to me first
00:57:59And you were texting me yesterday
00:58:01And I had to wait
00:58:02To see it live here
00:58:03What a song
00:58:04Oh when did he send it to you
00:58:05I think I got it
00:58:06A couple of days before
00:58:07A couple of days before you
00:58:09That would have been the demo
00:58:11You might have got the demo
00:58:12With the tap track
00:58:14Oh you got the click track
00:58:15The tap track
00:58:16I call it the tap track
00:58:18Of course you do
00:58:18We're older than you Ricky
00:58:20Used to be the tap track
00:58:21Used to be the tap track
00:58:22We'll let him think
00:58:23He got the first one Guy
00:58:24That's right
00:58:25Guy you are
00:58:25Check your junk mail

00:58:49Our two finalists
00:58:50Eilish and Marshall Hamburger
00:58:52About to go head to head
00:58:53Singing supersized versions
00:58:55Of their very first audition songs
00:58:57A full circle moment
00:58:59For them both
00:59:00Then we announce
00:59:01Your winner
00:59:02Of Australian Idol 2025
00:59:04That's coming up
00:59:05We'll be back
00:59:06In a moment
00:59:20This is the live
00:59:22Grand finale
00:59:23Coming to you
00:59:23From the Shark Coliseum
00:59:25The tension is building
00:59:26As we get closer
00:59:27To finding out
00:59:28Whether Eilish
00:59:29Or Marshall Hamburger
00:59:30Will be crowned
00:59:31Your winner
00:59:31I am with Eilish's
00:59:33Support crew
00:59:34Led by mum Melissa
00:59:35Isn't it incredible
00:59:37Okay you knew
00:59:37You had a little rock chick
00:59:38And she had talent
00:59:39But did you ever imagine
00:59:40In the top two
00:59:42No
00:59:42Never in my wildest dreams
00:59:44I said to my husband
00:59:46Did you remember
00:59:47Holding Eilish as a baby
00:59:49And did you think
00:59:49She'd ever take us
00:59:51On a journey like this
00:59:52And we both said
00:59:52Oh my god
00:59:53Definitely not
00:59:54But she showed you
00:59:56She showed so much
00:59:56Determination
00:59:57Strength
00:59:58And most of all
00:59:59Courage
01:00:00So we're so proud
01:00:01Of her
01:00:01For where she's come
01:00:03For sure
01:00:04Well it's been a huge
01:00:05Journey for Eilish
01:00:06From Colcann
01:00:07Let's take a look
01:00:08Back at where
01:00:09It all started
01:00:14That is what an idol
01:00:15Should be
01:00:16Everyone should come out
01:00:17And blow us away
01:00:22I was the first person
01:00:24To audition
01:00:25I mean I was
01:00:26I was pretty scared
01:00:27Where are you from
01:00:28I'm from Colcann
01:00:30Colcann
01:00:30As in putting it
01:00:32In the esky
01:00:32But I knew
01:00:33That I was in there
01:00:34For a reason
01:00:36Yeah
01:00:38What the actual
01:00:39It was nice to
01:00:42Shock the judges
01:00:43A bit
01:00:43Put them on the edge
01:00:44I suppose
01:00:45Check out
01:00:46Chick too
01:00:47Absolute rock chick
01:00:56Top 30
01:00:57Solid challenge
01:00:57Performance
01:00:59Was definitely
01:01:01A
01:01:02Challenge
01:01:03I didn't think
01:01:03That was that great
01:01:04You are on notice
01:01:06To be put on notice
01:01:08Was really tough
01:01:09Especially after having
01:01:11Such positive feedback
01:01:12During my audition
01:01:13Yeah
01:01:14Surprising
01:01:15It definitely
01:01:16Knocked my confidence
01:01:18Top 21
01:01:19Transformation week
01:01:20Was a crazy week
01:01:22Tonight
01:01:23She's ditched the glasses
01:01:24Let her hair down
01:01:25And is rocking
01:01:26The rock star look
01:01:28Oh my god
01:01:30You just fell
01:01:31I was feeling
01:01:33More confident
01:01:34In myself
01:01:34And I think
01:01:35That was a pivotal
01:01:36Moment in my
01:01:37Idol journey
01:01:40Now you look
01:01:41Like a rock star
01:01:42To be called
01:01:43A rock star
01:01:43From the judges
01:01:45Just makes my heart
01:01:46Explode
01:01:48Because that's
01:01:49All I've ever wanted
01:01:53I would describe my idol
01:01:56Journey as
01:01:57A huge roller coaster
01:01:59I've learnt so much
01:02:01About myself
01:02:02Others
01:02:03And the industry
01:02:04What the heck
01:02:05This is awesome
01:02:06Being a similar age
01:02:08With Gisela
01:02:09And sharing this
01:02:10Experience with her
01:02:11Just has made us
01:02:13Closer
01:02:13Best friends
01:02:15I mean we're like
01:02:16Sisters now
01:02:17I come visit you
01:02:18All the time
01:02:18I have to
01:02:19And I'll visit you
01:02:21In Colcann
01:02:23I think my secret weapon
01:02:25During this whole journey
01:02:26Definitely has to be
01:02:28The support
01:02:28From my hometown
01:02:29Colcann
01:02:32Colcann
01:02:33Colcann
01:02:34Colcann
01:02:34Colcann
01:02:34Has done so much
01:02:35To get me here today
01:02:36I don't think
01:02:37I would be able
01:02:38To do any of this
01:02:39Without the support
01:02:39From Colcann
01:02:40Since being on
01:02:42Australian Idol
01:02:42I think I've been able
01:02:44To grow a lot more
01:02:45Musically
01:02:47I love you
01:02:48And I now know
01:02:49Why Colcann
01:02:50Loves you better
01:02:51I've been able
01:02:52To express myself
01:02:53In rock music
01:02:54Which I think
01:02:55Makes me stronger
01:02:56I think you're
01:02:57One of the biggest
01:02:58Rock stars
01:02:58We've just discovered
01:03:00In this concert
01:03:01That's so cool
01:03:02Thank you
01:03:03It's a bit surreal
01:03:04Knowing that it's
01:03:05My last time
01:03:06Performing on the
01:03:07Idol stage
01:03:07I mean
01:03:08I feel like
01:03:10We're kind of
01:03:10Coming to the
01:03:11End of a chapter
01:03:12But
01:03:13I don't think
01:03:14It is in a way
01:03:14I think it's
01:03:15Going to lead
01:03:16To many more things
01:03:17It's my life
01:03:31It's my life
01:03:31I want you to know
01:03:35I wish nothing but the best
01:03:45For you both
01:03:47Did you forget all about me
01:03:51It's my life
01:03:52It's my life
01:03:53It's my life
01:03:53It's my life
01:03:53Oh I hate to fuck you
01:03:55With a needle
01:03:56I do
01:03:58Does she speak eloquently
01:04:00And would she have your baby
01:04:02Oh I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother
01:04:07Cause the love that you gave to me
01:04:09Wasn't able to make it enough for me
01:04:11I wasn't able to make it enough for you
01:04:11To be open wide
01:04:14No
01:04:16And every time you speak her name
01:04:19You should know how you told me you're homely
01:04:21Until you die
01:04:22Until you die
01:04:23May I feel alive
01:04:25And I'm here
01:04:27To remind you
01:04:30I'll admit you lived
01:04:32When you went away
01:04:34It's not fair
01:04:36To deny me
01:04:38I'll apologize
01:04:40And it's okay to meet you
01:04:43You, you, you
01:04:45I know
01:04:45And I'm here
01:04:48To remind you
01:04:50I'll admit you
01:04:52When you went away
01:04:54It's not fair
01:04:56To deny me
01:04:59All across the side
01:05:01Baby, that's your game to meet you
01:05:04Girl, girl, girl
01:05:05Hard enough
01:05:29Well, well, well
01:05:32You did it again
01:05:33That nice little song
01:05:35When we first met you
01:05:35Man, you are so close
01:05:37You won away
01:05:39Just you and Burger Boy
01:05:41You can almost smell it in the air
01:05:43The victory
01:05:45Oh, smells so good
01:05:49That's the sausage
01:05:50Did you finish it?
01:05:50Or did you drop some?
01:05:51A little bit of roll under here
01:05:53Look, you, and Amy's right
01:05:55You could be the next big deal in this country
01:05:59That voice, that attitude
01:06:00You've got such a beautiful spirit
01:06:02And you care about where you came from
01:06:04And that's rare in a young person
01:06:06And best of luck, babe
01:06:07I really hope it works out for you
01:06:09Thank you so much, Carl
01:06:16I remember, Eilish, you know
01:06:19The first song you sang
01:06:20Which was another Alanis Morissette song
01:06:23And I said, who'd you sing that for?
01:06:25And you said it was somebody
01:06:26Who you wanted to kick to the curb
01:06:28You were over him, right?
01:06:30Well, honey, I'm sure he's watching now
01:06:32And hoping and wishing
01:06:34That he had never treated you the way he did
01:06:36Yes, girl, well done
01:06:38Yeah, I, um
01:06:45I thought you melted our faces off
01:06:47The first time you sung that
01:06:48But that was just, like, on another level
01:06:50Like, we all went off then
01:06:51That was, I mean, yeah
01:06:53I don't know what else to say
01:06:54You're just such a cool chick
01:06:55I, like, I think the whole of Australia
01:06:59Really relates to you
01:07:00And understands you
01:07:01And just, just really gets down with you
01:07:04I just, honestly, you've made it this far
01:07:06And we are so, so happy for you
01:07:09And so proud of you
01:07:10And that just proves, again
01:07:12You're just such a rock star, man
01:07:13Such a rock star
01:07:14She's ready to go
01:07:14Thanks so much, Aileen
01:07:18Wow, Eilish
01:07:19You just sang that song
01:07:20Like it was the last thing you were ever gonna do
01:07:23You stood there and that last note was like
01:07:25Whoa!
01:07:26That was insane
01:07:28That was your audition song
01:07:29And to see you sing it again
01:07:30Just shows how far you have come
01:07:32And how much you have grown in this competition
01:07:35Eilish, whether you win this thing or not
01:07:38You're gonna be spending a lot of time on the road
01:07:40Touring and recording
01:07:41It's a lot of time away from your friends and family
01:07:45And Colcan
01:07:45How do you feel about that?
01:07:47I mean, I'm always gonna stay connected to Colcan
01:07:51No matter what
01:07:52And, yeah, to get on the road
01:07:54I'd love to make some new connections
01:07:56Yes
01:07:57And that would be amazing
01:07:58Yes
01:07:59Imagine the homecoming show
01:08:01It's gonna be insane
01:08:03Eilish, you are moments away from finding out
01:08:07If you have been voted as the next Australian Idol
01:08:10Best of luck
01:08:11Thank you
01:08:12Everybody, give it up for Eilish
01:08:13Thank you everybody
01:08:17Wow
01:08:18Next on Idol, we recap Marshall Hamburger's heroic campaign
01:08:23From audition to grand finale
01:08:25Before he wraps it up with one last performance
01:08:28The Idol live grand finale is back in a moment
01:08:44Welcome back to Idol
01:08:45We are inching closer to revealing who you voted into the top spot
01:08:49Before the break, we heard from rock chick Eilish for the last time
01:08:53And now it is Marshall Hamburger's turn
01:08:55I'm here with Marshall's family, Mr and Mrs Hamburger, Kelly and Gavin
01:08:59What do you want to say to Marshall before he performs for the very last time on Idol?
01:09:04Marshall, take a breath
01:09:06Take a moment for yourself
01:09:08Centre yourself
01:09:09And then do exactly what you do
01:09:11And we're all with you
01:09:13Wise word there from Dad
01:09:15Well Australia, let's take a quick look back at where we first met
01:09:19Our burger boy
01:09:23You honestly were born to do this
01:09:27I'm through to the grand finale of Australian Idol
01:09:29And it still does not feel real
01:09:32Marshall!
01:09:35I've always sort of dreamed of this moment
01:09:37But actually being in this position is an entirely different
01:09:43Bag of worms
01:09:44Can of worms
01:09:45An entirely different can of worms
01:09:53How are you feeling right now?
01:09:54I'm nervous as hell
01:09:57I didn't think I'd get through auditions honestly
01:10:00Cause every love thing she does is magic
01:10:04Everything in two just turns me on
01:10:07For some reason I was like, oh, he probably games
01:10:10I do get them
01:10:11I do get them
01:10:12I do get them
01:10:12And you sat down at that piano
01:10:14And you just became this absolute superstar
01:10:21I think I've exceeded my expectations
01:10:30Top 30 solo performance
01:10:31It was the first time I really show people who I was
01:10:36I think they didn't expect it
01:10:38And I was like, yeah, but here's my
01:10:40Here's the other side of me
01:10:41Here's me as a performer
01:10:46That was so exciting
01:10:47Marshall, you are a one of a kind
01:10:49Welcome to the Top 21
01:10:51Thank you so much
01:10:56If I had to summarise my entire Idol experience
01:10:59I suppose I would say
01:11:03Radical
01:11:05Not Radical
01:11:06Yeah, I'm pretty
01:11:09Ready
01:11:10Cool
01:11:15Now I've seen you singing on Idol
01:11:19And you got the chops
01:11:21A little bit closer to you
01:11:24Having Daryl Braithard as a fan
01:11:25Is a pretty big box to tick
01:11:28Please
01:11:30Stay
01:11:31I think the journey I've been on
01:11:32Through Idol
01:11:33Has really been
01:11:34Sort of like affirming
01:11:35Who I am
01:11:36What kind of music I do
01:11:37What kind of a person I want to be
01:11:39And how I want to present myself
01:11:44You are such a genuine musician up there
01:11:46You make what you do incredibly exciting
01:11:49As a showman
01:11:50And for that I think
01:11:51It's really helped me
01:11:52Sort of
01:11:53I guess become the whole package
01:11:59This nerd might be the next Australian Idol
01:12:01Fingers crossed
01:12:02I keep thinking of
01:12:05I keep thinking of
01:12:05I keep thinking of
01:12:05I keep thinking of
01:12:13Oh I try before to tell her
01:12:16Of the feelings I had for her in my heart
01:12:27Every time that I come near her
01:12:30Every time that I come near her
01:12:31I just lose my nerve as I've done
01:12:34From the start
01:12:40Every little thing she does is magic
01:12:43Every little thing just turns me on
01:12:47Even though my life before was tried
01:12:50Now I know my love for her goes on
01:12:57I resolve to call her up
01:12:59A thousand times a day
01:13:03And ask her if she'll marry me
01:13:06In some old-fashioned way
01:13:10But my silent fears have gripped me
01:13:13Long before I reach the bone
01:13:16Long before my day has gripped me
01:13:20Must I always be alone?
01:13:30Every little thing she does is magic
01:13:33Everything you do just turns me on
01:13:37Even though my life before was tried
01:13:40Now I know my love for her goes on
01:13:44Every little thing she does is magic
01:13:47Every little thing just turns me on
01:13:50Even though my life before was tried
01:13:54Now I know my love for her goes on
01:14:01And on
01:14:27You know I just wanted to say
01:14:28I want to say a lot of stuff
01:14:30I want to say I'm so glad that you
01:14:32Those are the parents that you've got
01:14:34Because they're amazing musicians
01:14:36And they've made you an amazing musician
01:14:39And they've encouraged you
01:14:41Marshall, I wish you all the luck from my heart
01:14:45I really do
01:14:47Thank you, Marshall
01:14:51That was so cool to see that video package
01:14:56I obviously called it from the beginning
01:14:59But you really
01:15:02From the second you came into that audition room
01:15:07We never know what to expect
01:15:09And you sat at that piano
01:15:12And you did morph into a superstar
01:15:15And what you said is right
01:15:17You've just grown
01:15:18And you've learnt so much
01:15:19And now you're just an absolute weapon
01:15:21Ready to take on the world

01:15:40That you've learnt so much
01:15:41We've seen that growth
01:15:43And a lot of people will get here
01:15:44And this can make or break someone
01:15:46You can be very talented
01:15:48And not be able to deal with
01:15:50All of the noise
01:15:52And all of the extras
01:15:53And we've got vocal coaches
01:15:55Great bands

01:16:03As a human being
01:16:04And that, don't lose that
01:16:06That will make you a superstar
