00:00:00This is it Australia. With only four golden tickets left, the final day of
00:00:07auditions promises a red-hot battle to find the final singers for this year's
00:00:14top 30. The days have gone so fast and so have the tickets. I can't believe
00:00:19there's only four tickets left. I love them all. She's fantastic. She is
00:00:24fantastic so there's a couple of people here that I just can't get out of my
00:00:38mind like him oh her her can I just guess one of your favorites car you know you
00:00:50made me wanna the remaining singers are gonna have to fight for every note it's
00:01:02no longer about being good it's about being unforgettable no one knows we've
00:01:06only got four tickets left like it's gonna be stressful for contestants today
00:01:09that's to the best that's what we're looking for. Oh mate the heart is racing.
00:01:26Hi. Hello everybody. Hi how are ya? I'm very nervous. I get it I get it. My name's
00:01:33Kira I'm 21. And what do you do with yourself? I'm a nurse. Oh awesome. Why did
00:01:39you become a nurse? I had an accident as a kid. I was 12 years old and I was in
00:01:47a
00:01:47surfing accident. Severed a few of my facial nerves. I did a lot of damage. Oh what did
00:01:53the, did you get hit with the board? Yeah there was like a gnarly scar down there. I was knocked
00:01:58completely unconscious and I had a complete right-sided facial
00:02:02palsy so I had no movement at all. My eye didn't close. My lip didn't lift. How old were you?
00:02:0812. My goodness. Like I was told I'd never sing again. I was told I would never live a normal
00:02:15life.
00:02:16And the nurses were the shining light? The nurses were the shining light and I think there's such,
00:02:22there's something so special about being able to give back in that way that you've been there.
00:02:27Like there's nothing like knowing that someone's going through something and I was also there too.
00:02:32You must have done a lot of like therapy. Yeah. Like movement therapy and like. A lot of work, a
00:02:38lot of determination.
00:02:39So I'm definitely, like I'm here for my, my younger self to prove to her that we can do it.
00:02:46I love that. We can do it.
00:02:47What are you gonna sing? Um, I'm singing What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish. Beautiful song. Hope I
00:02:53can do it justice.
00:02:54Alright. I'm sure you'll make it your own. Absolutely. When you're ready Deb.
00:03:12I used to float. Now I just fall down. I used to know. But I'm not sure now. What I
00:03:28want.
00:03:29What was made for? What was I made for? Cause I, I, I don't know how to feel. But I
00:03:56want to try.
00:04:01Cause someday I think I forgot how to be happy. Something I'm not. But something I can't be. Something I'm
00:04:25made for.
00:04:26Oh. Something I'm made for.
00:04:44that was a really great audition thank you I was lost in you I think you've got a gorgeous
00:04:52voice in there I think it's going to be a yes for me thank you what do you guys think
00:05:04that really touched me after the story beautiful delivery however I don't know if it's strong
00:05:12enough to be put through it's beautiful okay you're wonderful but there are just people we've
00:05:19already put through that are way better really I could give more I feel I'm convinced by the story
00:05:27and the song I would love to give everyone the opportunity but sometimes you do give someone
00:05:35the chance and maybe you shouldn't that I'm a guilty of that as well I'm gonna have to say no
00:05:46okay I'm sorry well you need you need two yeses what do you feel Marsha you did an okay audition
00:05:54I think
00:05:55you should study a bit more with your voice because I could actually hear the nerves which
00:05:59is understandable but it's not gonna reach the level of talent that we're looking for this year
00:06:06I'm afraid I I'll have to say no I don't want to say no but I'm gonna say no because
00:06:15of what we've
00:06:15seen already in the yeah absolutely all right I'm really sorry I'm actually really disappointed
00:06:21that's all right I think you're fantastic I hope you keep going I'm really sorry for that that's

00:19:10You've got a great accompanist there and you kind of fell behind him a couple of times
00:19:17and you fell ahead of him a couple of times.
00:19:19You know, look, it's corny to say, singers, we have to learn to listen because that's respect
00:19:30between the musician and yourself.
00:19:31And I think you're that clever and that open that you'll listen to what's being said to
00:19:38you.
00:19:38And I think you've got a fine, fine voice.

00:20:12This is three yeses.
00:20:14Thank you so much, Kyle.
00:20:15Well done.

00:20:19ticket.
00:20:20But three yeses, pretty good.

00:20:38I think your worker is done.
00:20:39I'm hungry.
00:20:41It's mid morning and a final wave of young hopefuls are all desperate to score one of
00:20:47the few remaining golden tickets.
00:20:50Hello ladies.
00:20:51Hi.
00:20:53We're just going, hey, you want a little of this, you want a little, want a little of
00:20:57this.

00:20:59We're obsessed.
00:21:00Oh that's so nice.
00:21:01Who's auditioning?
00:21:02Me.
00:21:03You are auditioning.
00:21:03What's your name?
00:21:04Natalie.
00:21:05So nice to meet you.
00:21:05Welcome to Idol.
00:21:06Welcome ladies.
00:21:08What are you singing today?
00:21:09I'm singing.
00:21:10What am I singing?
00:21:12Oh no.
00:21:12I want to dance.
00:21:13I'm singing I want to dance with somebody by Whitney Houston.
00:21:15Amazing song.
00:21:16Do you do lots of gigs?
00:21:18Um, not too many.
00:21:19I just post heaps on TikTok and YouTube.
00:21:21Okay.
00:21:22Yeah.
00:21:25I share a lot of music on TikTok.
00:21:27I had like a little broom world tour going on.
00:21:31Just pretending that I was a pop star.
00:21:33That's how it started and then I just kept going because people seem to like the broom
00:21:36videos.
00:21:38Definitely loved music my whole life.
00:21:40Like I think I came out of the womb singing.
00:21:42Now, I just want to make music that connects with people.
00:21:45Like whether it's one person that feels so seen and heard.
00:21:49That's the goal.
00:21:55Hello.
00:21:56Hi guys.
00:21:57Hi.
00:21:58Hi.
00:21:58Who do we have here?
00:22:00How are you?
00:22:00I'm Natalie.
00:22:01I'm 25 and I'm from the Gold Coast.
00:22:03So what's your story?
00:22:04Do you like, do you perform much?
00:22:06So I do post a lot online.
00:22:09On TikTok I have a little thing called the broom world tour.
00:22:13Oh my God.
00:22:13I've seen you on TikTok.
00:22:15Have you?
00:22:16Really?
00:22:16I've seen you on my page.
00:22:18With my broom?
00:22:18With your broom.
00:22:19Yes.
00:22:19And you take it really seriously.
00:22:21Yes.
00:22:21And I've seen you.
00:22:22I thought you looked familiar.
00:22:23Yeah.
00:22:23So hang on.
00:22:24So you've got a lot of people, a lot of eyes on you on the TikTok.
00:22:27But what about in real life?
00:22:30That's a good point though, Kyle, because we've had quite a few people come and audition
00:22:34and they are just used to TikTok or doing it online.
00:22:39And obviously that's like a totally different thing.
00:22:42That's something, but then there's this.
00:22:44We can do what we want, right?
00:22:47What do you want to do?
00:22:47Yeah, we can.
00:22:48I'd like to potentially take you out to the hundreds of people that we have outside
00:22:55and just see if you can get them going.
00:22:58I'd just like to see you in front of people and away from the phone.
00:23:03Oh my gosh, no pressure.
00:23:04Let's do that.
00:23:04Let's do it.
00:23:05Great.
00:23:06We've just walked from out there and now we've got to walk all the way back.
00:23:09Come on.
00:23:09This will be fun.
00:23:10It's going to be good for you.
00:23:12Have you got family here?
00:23:13I do.
00:23:14I have my sister and my best friend.
00:23:15Nice to meet you.
00:23:16Nice to meet you too.
00:23:17Your sister and your best friend.
00:23:17Let's go and see them.
00:23:18Let's go grab them.
00:23:19I like your hair, Julie, because I wear that.
00:23:22Yours is so nice.
00:23:23I like your hair.
00:23:24No one says anything about my hair.
00:23:29Hello, everyone.
00:23:31Hello.
00:23:34I'm so sorry.
00:23:36I'm so sorry.
00:23:36Okay, have I got everyone's attention?
00:23:39Yes.
00:23:40Okay, good.
00:23:41So, this is Natalie and Natalie is known as Broom Girl.
00:23:46On TikTok.
00:23:47And so, before she auditioned, I thought, well, it's one thing to perform on TikTok.
00:23:52It's another to perform to a crowd.
00:23:55We need the real deal here, guys.
00:23:57So, I want Natalie to audition in front of you guys.
00:24:02And I want to see your reaction to see if she actually has got what it takes to get through.
00:24:11Alright, well, I know you don't have a broom, but it's a very expensive microphone.
00:24:16So, what are you going to perform?
00:24:17I'm going to sing, I want to dance with somebody.
00:24:21That's a tough song.
00:24:23Alright, we ready.
00:24:26Cue the track.
00:24:27Let's go.
00:24:32Clock strikes upon the hour, and the sun begins to fade.
00:24:40Still enough time to figure out how to chase my blues away.
00:24:48I've been alright until now.
00:24:51It's the light of day that shows me how.
00:24:56So, when the night falls, my loneliness calls.
00:25:02Go!
00:25:03Oh, I want to dance with somebody.
00:25:06Yes!
00:25:07I want to feel the heat with somebody.
00:25:11Yeah, I want to dance with somebody.
00:25:14Hey!
00:25:15With somebody who loves me.
00:25:18It's the home, being in his arms.
00:25:27I've been on there to take the chance on a life that burns hard enough to last.
00:25:34So, when the night falls.
00:25:37I want to feel the heat with somebody.
00:25:45I want to feel the heat with somebody.
00:25:49Yeah, I wanna dance with somebody
00:25:54With somebody who loves me
00:25:58Yeah!
00:26:01Thanks, guys!
00:26:02Thank you!
00:26:06Yay!
00:26:08So, Natalie, how did that feel?
00:26:10That felt so fun!
00:26:11In front of people, you owned it, you got them involved.
00:26:15You're a pro.
00:26:16Yeah, you do.
00:26:16It's actually harder because this is what they call in the round.
00:26:19That's right.
00:26:20So you worked everyone, you didn't even just have the one sort of stagey,
00:26:24you kind of worked the whole crowd.
00:26:26What are we thinking, guys?
00:26:27Are we like...
00:26:30Okay, okay.
00:26:33Well, that's a yes from me, then.
00:26:35You got the first yes.
00:26:35Thank you!
00:26:39It's a yes from me, straight up.
00:26:43What do you think, Marsha?
00:26:45It's a yes from me.
00:26:46Yes!
00:26:47Yes!
00:26:49Well done.
00:26:50Yay!
00:26:50Well done, guys.
00:26:53Tough audition.
00:26:54Tough audition.
00:26:55You did it.
00:26:55Thank you so much.
00:26:58Oh, that was so gorgeous.
00:27:00That's like, whole package.
00:27:02It's getting real.
00:27:04Hi!
00:27:05Hey!
00:27:06That was so good!
00:27:08Stop.
00:27:08Who takes on a Whitney Houston song?
00:27:10Oh, my God.
00:27:10I know, I shouldn't have.
00:27:12Wow.
00:27:12This is like competition and we've got to really, you know, get down to it.
00:27:17The judges will have a tough time.
00:27:18Oh, yeah.
00:27:19It's going to come down to the wire.
00:27:21Yeah.
00:27:21I wonder how many tickets they have to give away.
00:27:23But I really want that ticket.
00:27:26Coming up, there's only four golden tickets left to sing for.
00:27:31But an unbelievable performance.
00:27:36That could be a worldwide act.
00:27:38And a shock decision.
00:27:40We don't hand those out at this stage, but you've got a golden ticket.
00:27:46Changes everything.
00:27:48Straight on the radio tomorrow.
00:27:50That's what I'm looking for.
00:28:02It's the final day of auditions.
00:28:05And competition for the last four golden tickets is fierce.
00:28:09Hopefully I can get one of those.
00:28:10Making song choice more important than ever.
00:28:14How y'all doing?
00:28:14Hey, how are you?
00:28:15So there are three songs that we hear more than any others.
00:28:20Dancing Queen by ABBA.
00:28:22I don't think Dancing Queen could ever go on and me not get swept up in the magic of it.
00:28:27Oh, you can dance.
00:28:30You can die.
00:28:32I'm having the time of your life.
00:28:36Ooh, see that girl.
00:28:39Watch her sing.
00:28:42Dig in the Dancing Queen.
00:28:45I can't stand corrected.
00:28:47I cannot like a version of that song.
00:28:50Bye.
00:28:51Bye.
00:28:52Next, the song Hallelujah.
00:28:54I heard there was a secret call.
00:28:58We've heard it a thousand times.
00:29:00Cut, cut, cut.
00:29:01Save that for the pearly gates.
00:29:02It goes like this.
00:29:04The fourth, the fifth.
00:29:06The minor fall and the major lift.
00:29:09The baffled king composing.
00:29:12Hallelujah.
00:29:14Hallelujah.
00:29:18Hallelujah, that is over.
00:29:21Hallelujah.
00:29:23Unless you're about to reinvent the wheel, just pick something else.
00:29:26Hello, everyone.
00:29:27Like if I hear Valerie one more time.
00:29:29Okay, what are you going to sing today?
00:29:30I'm going to sing Valerie by Amy Winehouse.
00:29:34Damn to death.
00:29:35Leave it alone.
00:29:36And why don't you come on over Valerie?
00:29:40You know, what if I never heard that song again?
00:29:42It'd be the best day ever.
00:29:43Why won't you come on over Valerie?
00:29:47Valerie?
00:29:49It's a no from me.
00:29:51Thanks, guys.
00:29:52It's just an instant no.
00:29:53See ya.
00:29:54Pack your bag.
00:29:55Take your sandwiches.
00:29:56Call the Uber.
00:29:57You're done here.
00:29:58My name is Kalia, and today I'm going to be performing Valerie by Amy Winehouse.
00:30:04Now listen.
00:30:04Okay.
00:30:05That song's been done to death.
00:30:07To death.
00:30:07We've heard that song over and over.
00:30:10We're over it.
00:30:11Unless you absolutely bring something that's like going to bring the song back to life.
00:30:16You know, that song is dead but too tired to lie down.
00:30:19Well, I'm here to wake that song back up.
00:30:22When you're ready.
00:30:23Hope you surprise us, yeah?
00:30:28Enjoy your AGENUDEY.
00:30:33Well, sometimes I go out by myself.
00:30:37And I look across the water.
00:30:42Then I think of all the things you're doing in my head.
00:30:47I'll paint a picture
00:30:51Cause since I've come home
00:30:53Well my body's been a mess
00:30:56And I miss your gender
00:30:58And the way you like to dress
00:31:00Won't you come on over
00:31:03Stop making a fool out of me
00:31:07Why won't you come on over
00:31:10Valerie
00:31:14Valerie
00:31:17Hey, hey
00:31:19I was thinking about the days you were over me
00:31:21Back when everything was a joke with me
00:31:23We stay up and talk to the song will rise
00:31:26Now it's just memory stuck on rewind
00:31:28Where you at now feels like you're ghosted
00:31:30Have me caught up, now the truth's unloading
00:31:33Now I see the cards that your hand's been holding
00:31:35All the little lies in the cracks start showing
00:31:37Since you've been away
00:31:39Boy, my world's been such a mess
00:31:41Oh my gosh, she's remixing
00:31:43My love and the way you rock
00:31:45That's it
00:31:46Won't you come on over
00:31:48Stop making a fool out of me
00:31:53Why won't you come on over
00:31:55Back to me
00:31:59Valerie
00:32:04Valerie
00:32:05Valerie
00:32:08Valerie
00:32:19Well, that was a little surprise there, a different version
00:32:22I thought the rap would be a really nice little switch up for the song
00:32:26Did you write that?
00:32:27Yes, I did.
00:32:28Cool.
00:32:28Yeah, that's a...
00:32:29Yeah, I wrote that, yeah.
00:32:31Which is awesome.
00:32:32That's cool.
00:32:33Yeah.
00:32:33That was really cool.
00:32:34Super cool.
00:32:35Wesley, Sydney, cool.
00:32:36Represent, represent, represent, represent.
00:32:38Exactly.
00:32:39I've not seen that before, represent, I like that.
00:32:40Yes, clock it.
00:32:41Yes, honey, yes.
00:32:43You changed it up, that song for us, right?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:46Which was great.
00:32:47Actually, I thought the rapping part was far superior than the rest.
00:32:50Wow, I love that.
00:32:51I really am energised by that.
00:32:55That rap and making it your own.
00:32:57That's cool.
00:32:57You were you doing that.
00:32:59Yeah.
00:32:59I think it would be crazy not to...
00:33:03Look, I'm just going to say it's a yes from me.
00:33:06Thank God you and I are thinking alike.
00:33:08So it's a yes from me.
00:33:10Thank you, thank you.
00:33:12Carly, you got a little bit of something, something.
00:33:13Don't know what it is, but you got a little bit of something, something.
00:33:16And so I'm going to say, yeah.
00:33:18Yes!
00:33:18I love that.
00:33:20Carly, I will see you later on in the day
00:33:22and hopefully you take home a golden ticket.
00:33:23Thank you, guys.
00:33:24Thank you for having me.
00:33:25That's three yeses.
00:33:26Done very well.
00:33:27See you at the end.
00:33:28Thank you, thank you.
00:33:28Have a great day, guys.
00:33:29Nice work.
00:33:33That was cool.
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:34It was just something, something.
00:33:38Next, the twists keep coming.
00:33:42No one told me Anastasia was going to be here.
00:33:45As the final day of auditions...
00:33:47Oh!
00:33:48...throws up rogue performers.
00:33:51That's right.
00:33:52I'm only human after all.
00:33:55You're only human after all.
00:33:58Don't put the blame on me.
00:34:00And rogue decisions.
00:34:02Could be our first Viking idol.
00:34:04Come here.
00:34:05I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here.
00:34:15Let's do this.
00:34:19Let's do this.
00:34:19So, it's almost the end of the lunch break
00:34:21and the judges should be making their way back in for the next session.
00:34:24We've still got hundreds of singers out there waiting their turn.
00:34:27Hopefully, they have what it takes to impress our amazing judges.
00:34:31And who knows, the winner of Idol 2026 could be up next.
00:34:36Five, four, we're back.
00:34:39Three.
00:34:40Go Scotty.
00:34:41Good luck, guys.
00:34:41Go Scotty.
00:34:42Go Ricky.
00:34:45Hi.
00:34:45Go.
00:34:46One time.
00:34:46Hi, how are you?
00:34:47We're good.
00:34:48Sorry, next top model's next door.
00:34:49Oh, sorry.
00:34:51Bye, guys.
00:34:52See you.
00:34:53Have fun.
00:34:53Bye-bye.
00:34:54Next, please.
00:35:00Says I've got a full cowboy coming.
00:35:02Hey, there.
00:35:03Hi.
00:35:04Hey, guys.
00:35:04Wow, man, how are you?
00:35:06Look at you.
00:35:07What's your name?
00:35:08Bo.
00:35:08You look like Jon Snow's showing up.
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:11I love the vibe.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:12Thanks, man.
00:35:13Are you a Viking?
00:35:14Well, I've got heritage.
00:35:15It looks like one.
00:35:15Same.
00:35:16Yeah, a bit, yeah.
00:35:16I thought I was English and Irish my whole life until we did that thing.
00:35:20And it's all Viking.
00:35:22Yep.
00:35:22I love it.
00:35:26Viking culture.
00:35:27It's the travel.
00:35:28It's the freedom.
00:35:29It's the experience of life.
00:35:30New things to see.
00:35:32I also love, you know, blacksmithing, leather smithing, bone smithing, bone carving.
00:35:40I made this knife myself.
00:35:42And I did the wood handle and everything on it too.
00:35:44And the pins.
00:35:49I've been playing music for 19 years.
00:35:52My passion for music came from pulling me through hard situations, hard times, and I've always
00:35:57just used music because it's like a meditation, really.
00:36:00And I'm hoping Idol can be the start of a bigger and better chapter.
00:36:07Could be our first Viking Idol, guys.
00:36:09You never know.
00:36:10Oh, I love it.
00:36:11What are you going to sing today?
00:36:12Human by Rag and Bone Man.
00:36:14Oh, interesting.
00:36:15Okay, cool.
00:36:16Okay, Bo.
00:36:17When you're ready, man.
00:36:32Baby, I'm foolish.
00:36:34Baby, I'm blind.
00:36:36Thinking I can see through this and see what's behind.
00:36:39No way to prove it, so maybe I'm blind.
00:36:43But I'm only human after all.
00:36:47You're only human after all.
00:36:50Don't put the blame on me.
00:36:51Oh, what's his vibe?
00:36:52Look at his tattoos.
00:36:53Don't put your blame on me.
00:36:56Oh, some people got the real problems.
00:37:01Some people lie to love.
00:37:04Some people think I can solve them.
00:37:07Lord, I'm on the bone.
00:37:09I'm only human after all.
00:37:12You're only human after all.
00:37:15Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:18Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:23Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:24Because I'm not a prophet, I'm a messiah.
00:37:29She's gonna look in the summer.
00:37:33I'm not a prophet.
00:37:34Oh, my God.
00:37:36Oh, my God.
00:37:38What the hell?
00:37:40Because I'm only human after all.
00:37:41After all, you're only human after all.
00:37:43Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:46Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:50Because I'm only human.
00:37:52I do what I can.
00:37:53And I'm just a man.
00:37:54Do what I can.
00:37:56And don't put your blame on me.
00:38:09You know, Bo, your individuality is unquestionable.
00:38:13Yeah. I loved it.
00:38:16It's completely different. It's completely authentic.
00:38:18I'm going to give you the big yes.
00:38:20Without a doubt, I'd love to see you progress in this contest.
00:38:24Yeah. Wow.
00:38:26Um, I feel like you really crushed that towards the end.
00:38:30That was just like, you have such a cool voice.
00:38:33You've got extreme control of everything.
00:38:37The only thing that I am nervous about is, um, you're such a free spirit.
00:38:46Bo, are you good with rules and regulations?
00:38:50Very good.
00:38:50I have to ask that.
00:38:51Yeah, but he's Viking like me and, yeah, we don't always do rules.
00:38:55How is that, like, is that something that, like...
00:38:57Because there are many, you know, would you be cool with that?
00:39:01Yeah?
00:39:01Yeah? If that means I have to relocate?
00:39:03Yeah, it would mean a lot of things, not relocate, turn up on time, blah, blah, blah, blah.
00:39:21Turn up on time.
00:39:22And if he mucks up with that, that's on him.
00:39:26But our job here, is he good enough to go forward?
00:39:28I say, yep, yeah, he is.
00:39:31I don't care if he's late to make up, I think I'm late to make up every single day.
00:39:34You are.
00:39:35As long as you can.
00:39:36But they don't have that much to do.
00:39:37You know?
00:39:38Are you speaking of yourself?
00:39:39Yeah, I'm thinking of myself, yeah.
00:39:43Sorry, we're just...
00:39:43You can only polish a turd so much, Martha.
00:39:45You know, but you can roll it in glitter.
00:39:47Hey, listen, man, there's just something really compelling about you and I really like it.
00:39:52So, for me, it's a yes.
00:39:56Look, it's a yes from me, but it is such a different life, Beau.
00:40:01Yeah.
00:40:01Such a different life.
00:40:02Consider it a part of your journey.
00:40:03I'm not sure if you can pull off one of these.
00:40:07This is what we're going to find out later in the day.
00:40:09Yep.
00:40:10I hope you can, but it's a tough competition.
00:40:13Yeah, absolutely.
00:40:13We'll see you later on this afternoon.
00:40:15Now get out of here with your dreamy eyes.
00:40:17Goodbye.
00:40:17Thank you so much.
00:40:18Congratulations.
00:40:18Thank you very much.
00:40:23I like him.
00:40:24Yeah, you're nice.
00:40:25Yeah, you're nice.
00:40:26Yeah, you're nice.
00:40:26Yeah, you're nice.
00:40:28Everyone's really good.
00:40:30Not that I didn't expect everyone to be good, but I'm just like, everyone's way better
00:40:33than I thought.
00:40:34Being here, it's like, okay, wow.
00:40:36Yeah.
00:40:37Now I feel stressed.
00:40:38Now I feel like, oh my God.
00:40:40Yeah.
00:40:40Like, I need one of those.
00:40:48Crew, what are you doing over here?
00:40:50Oh, we're just playing some Yahtzee.
00:40:51Some Yahtzee?
00:40:52Yeah.
00:40:52What are these guys doing over here?
00:40:54What are you doing to pass the time?
00:40:55Chilling on my phone.
00:40:56It's been a long day.
00:40:58It's a long day in here.
00:40:59We appreciate the patience.
00:41:01After a massive six days of auditions.
00:41:03I've been up since 4am.
00:41:06I'm fangin' for some caffeinated.
00:41:07I bet you are.
00:41:08It's the final push for singers to impress the judges and make it to the top 30.
00:41:15What are you guys doing to pass the time?
00:41:17People watching.
00:41:18I tell you what.
00:41:19There's some crazy people, interesting watching.
00:41:21Mate, very interesting.
00:41:22Went to see the judges.
00:41:24They're the most interesting out of them all.
00:41:25That's good people watching.
00:41:26Alright, enjoy yourselves.
00:41:28Hopefully we can speed them up, alright?
00:41:30We'll do our best.
00:41:31Thanks babe.
00:41:34I'm back.
00:41:34How are you feeling?
00:41:35Ready?
00:41:35Bring them in please.
00:41:40Hey!
00:41:42What up judges?
00:41:44Hello!
00:41:45Hello!
00:41:46I'm awake now.
00:41:48One of the criterias is energy.
00:41:50You're through the roof.
00:41:52Through the roof.
00:41:53What's your name?
00:41:54DJ Ringbling.
00:41:55DJ Ringbling.
00:41:57That's right.
00:41:58So DJ Ringbling.
00:41:59Most people I know have got one pair of sunglasses they bring.
00:42:02But why you got two?
00:42:04Okay.
00:42:05He's that hectic.
00:42:06He needs energy.
00:42:06Extra protection.
00:42:07Exactly, exactly.
00:42:09Okay, so you're DJ.
00:42:11Mm-hmm.
00:42:11But today you're going to be singing.
00:42:13Yes, yes.
00:42:13And what are you going to perform?
00:42:15So I'll be rapping Thrift Shop by Macklemore.
00:42:19Great song choice.
00:42:20Let's see DJ Ringbling in full swing.
00:42:23Oh, that's good.
00:42:24Awesome, awesome.
00:42:25When you're ready man, go for gold.
00:42:37Walk into the club like what if I got a beat?
00:42:39Woo!
00:42:40I'm so pumped you buy some dishes from the thrift shop.
00:42:42Ice new friend, you're so damn frosty.
00:42:45The people like them, it's a cold ass hunky.
00:42:47They come in and wash.
00:42:48And I'm about to go and get some moccasins.
00:42:50Passing up in the moccasins.
00:42:51And someone else walking in.
00:42:52But you're going to stunning.
00:42:53And I'm stunning and I'm fussing.
00:42:54And I'm seeing my money and I'm hella happy.
00:42:56That's the box.
00:42:57Oh!
00:42:57I'ma take a crack and stop.
00:42:58I'ma take a crack and stop.
00:42:59Not for real.
00:43:00I can grab a can of this heavy down.
00:43:02Sell a jumpsuit and some house slippers.
00:43:04To keep on with the jacket that I can't dig it.
00:43:07Think it has to be like, oh, he's got the belt.
00:43:09Whoa!
00:43:15Hey!
00:43:16Hey!
00:43:17What?
00:43:17What?
00:43:18What?
00:43:19Hey!
00:43:20Hey!
00:43:21Hey!
00:43:21Hey!
00:43:22Hey!
00:43:23Hey!
00:43:23Hey!
00:43:25What?
00:43:26What?
00:43:28CJ ring bling.
00:43:30Wow.
00:43:31Ooh.
00:43:32TJ.
00:43:33I have never seen that kind of microphone technique where you keep the microphone here.
00:43:38Yeah.
00:43:39Like a finger away.
00:43:41But the finger has to stay there for some reason.
00:43:43Sometimes when I move around too much, I want to make sure you guys can hear me.
00:43:48Very good.
00:43:49Well, we did.
00:43:49We did.
00:43:50Yeah.
00:43:50Man, that was so entertaining.
00:43:53You came in here like a rocket.
00:43:55And I love that.
00:43:56But I could definitely hear you being out of breath, which kind of says to me that you
00:44:03don't do it too often.
00:44:04If you're going to move around like that, you've got to get fit.
00:44:08Yes.
00:44:08You know, because that's how Beyonce became Beyonce.
00:44:11You know, you can't sing and rap and be that mad and not be scented with your breathing.
00:44:16It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:44:20You need, you need two yeses.
00:44:23You got one no.
00:44:24Amy, Kyle, if you give me a yes, I will 100%, 1000%, 10,000%.
00:44:33It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I like all different styles to be represented.
00:44:39A 10,000 billion percent promise, like, I would love to see that come to fruition.
00:44:46So I'll give you a yes.
00:44:48Oh, Ringbling.
00:44:50That wasn't the greatest audition.
00:44:52It was really wild.
00:44:54It was all over the place.
00:44:55You will not regret giving me a yes.
00:44:58I promise.
00:44:59We don't have anyone like you.
00:45:02Please, please.
00:45:05Don't make me regret this, but I'm going to say yes.
00:45:10Yes!
00:45:13Am I allowed to shake your hand?
00:45:15Of course.
00:45:15Look, dude, I don't know how, yeah.
00:45:17I promise, I promise.
00:45:18I, okay.
00:45:19Thank you, even though I said no.
00:45:20I was, thank you.
00:45:21Even though I said no and I did.
00:45:22I will, I will still impress.
00:45:24Nice work.
00:45:25Next time we see you, we'll be handing out golden tickets.
00:45:27You either get one or you don't.
00:45:29I genuinely...
00:45:30That's the end of it.
00:45:32Goodbye.
00:45:33You got yeses.
00:45:34It's wild.
00:45:35That's all that matters, two yeses.
00:45:37That's all that matters.
00:45:38It actually looks cool.
00:45:40How do you feel seeing another rapper?
00:45:41Yeah, how do you feel, Kalia?
00:45:42Great to see another rapper.
00:45:44I feel like, okay, that's the competition.
00:45:45I got to come right on top of that.
00:45:47Yeah.
00:45:48Yeah.
00:45:48You know, I feel like you've all...
00:45:49Hey!
00:45:50Hey!
00:45:52Have a time.
00:45:53I definitely didn't come to play.
00:45:54I'm here to win.
00:45:56She ain't trusted.
00:45:57I'm coming for you, other rapper.

00:47:47I'm 22.

00:47:52What are you going to sing today?
00:47:54I'll be singing Aishite Aishite Aishite by Kikawa and it's like a Japanese pop-ish song.
00:47:59J-pop it's called, right?

00:49:39Well, we have a guest here. I'll let Anastasia say.
00:49:41Oh. Okay.
00:49:43I think there's a lot there
00:49:44that is intriguing.
00:49:47Right now, you're giving me Disney,
00:49:48but then your music gave me a different vibe.
00:49:52You're giving me Princess,
00:49:53and then the other part of it
00:49:55just didn't belong.
00:49:57So,
00:49:59no from me.
00:50:01Well, I'm gonna give you a yes
00:50:02because that could be a worldwide act
00:50:04to a niche audience,
00:50:06but you need at least two yeses.
00:50:10Um, Vera, I really enjoyed that.
00:50:13Yeah.
00:50:14But I don't know if Idol is your path.
00:50:17So, unfortunately, it's a no from me.
00:50:19I appreciate everything you did for us, Vera,
00:50:22and I thank you for the audition,
00:50:24but my vote is it's a no.
00:50:26No worries. Thanks for having me.
00:50:29Thanks, Vera.
00:50:29Thank you, Vera.
00:50:30Pleasure.
00:50:30Thank you so much.
00:50:31Bye-bye.

00:50:57Good luck, Grace.

00:52:43How are you?
00:52:44You look amazing.
00:52:46Welcome.
00:52:46What's your name?
00:52:47Lockie.
00:52:47Lockie.
00:52:48I'm Ricky.
00:52:48Nice to meet you.
00:52:49So nice to meet you.
00:52:51Oh, wow.
00:52:51You've really brought your cheese squad with you, haven't you?
00:52:54I know.
00:52:54Yes.
00:52:55Wow.
00:52:56And I was dancing too.
00:52:58I'm Lockie.
00:52:58I'm 20 and I'm from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
00:53:02I started dancing when I was about five.
00:53:06My parents decided to chuck me in dance classes because I used to be obsessed with boogieing
00:53:10along with the Wiggles.
00:53:12I've got to dance with Katy Perry and Tones and I.
00:53:16Being on stage, hearing all those fans screaming was so surreal.
00:53:20And I was like, wow, maybe that could be me one day.
00:53:23I'm ready to go from being in the background to taking center stage.
00:53:27What are you going to be singing today?
00:53:29Today I'm singing I'm Out of Love by Anastasia.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:34Amazing.
00:53:35I love that song.
00:53:37I love that song so much.
00:53:38I also love that song a lot.
00:53:40Bit of a throwback.
00:53:41Oh my gosh.
00:53:41You wouldn't have even been born when this song came out.
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:45My goodness.
00:53:46You weren't even born when this song came out.
00:53:48Anyway, I'm sure you're going to be amazing.
00:53:50Good luck in there.
00:53:51They're ready for you.
00:53:52Good luck.
00:53:54Bye.
00:53:57How exciting.
00:53:59Okay, you guys.
00:54:01You're not going to believe me when I say this.
00:54:03Anastasia's in there.
00:54:05Oh, no.
00:54:06I'm not even joking.
00:54:07Anastasia's a guest judge today and he's singing Anastasia's song.
00:54:11Oh, he better be good.
00:54:12Oh, Anastasia.
00:54:14He better be good.
00:54:17Hello, hello.
00:54:26Hello.
00:54:37Hello.
00:54:44Who do we have here?
00:54:46My name's Lockie.
00:54:47I'm 20 and I'm from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
00:54:51We have a guest judge.
00:54:54Hi.
00:54:55By the name of Anastasia.
00:54:57Oh, my God.
00:54:57He's come a long way.
00:54:58How are you?
00:54:59To help us today.
00:55:01So what brings you here today?
00:55:02Like, have you been singing, performing?
00:55:04Is this the dream?
00:55:05Tell us about yourself.
00:55:06I come from a bit of a dance background and I've been really lucky to be able to perform
00:55:10for a couple of artists as a dancer.
00:55:13And that's been such an inspiring, like, experience.
00:55:16And I'm kind of ready to just take that next step and rather than be behind the artist,
00:55:21I'm ready to be that artist.
00:55:22What artists have you worked with?
00:55:23Um, I was one of the field dancers for Katy Perry at the AFL Grand Final.
00:55:28Oh, cool.
00:55:29That was a big choreographer.
00:55:30You mean dance dance.
00:55:32That is awesome, man.
00:55:34I started, crazy enough, I actually started as a dancer and wasn't really thinking of singing.
00:55:40I was in videos and stuff like that and then producers were like, do you sing?
00:55:45And I'm like, I think I do.
00:55:46So, not that I didn't, I just didn't really think about it, but...
00:55:49That's crazy.
00:55:50If you have that gift as well, it's just a double threat.
00:55:54So, what are you going to perform today?
00:55:56Well, I'm actually performing I'm Out of Love by Anastasia.
00:56:00Oh, God!
00:56:01You are?
00:56:02Yes.
00:56:03Okay.
00:56:03But I've done a bit of a flip on it.
00:56:05We're doing like a little acoustic version.
00:56:07Ooh.
00:56:07Yeah.
00:56:08Okay, that is fun.
00:56:09Oh, my God.
00:56:10No pressure.
00:56:11I'm so ready.
00:56:12I bet you when you were picturing your audition on the way here this morning,
00:56:15you weren't picturing Anastasia to actually be sitting here.
00:56:18No.
00:56:18Judging.
00:56:19It is a hard song to sing, so...
00:56:22Yes.
00:56:22It is.
00:56:22I'm sorry for you.
00:56:24Whenever you're ready, buddy.
00:56:25Good luck.
00:56:54Wow.
00:56:54Yes, you proud nothing real. Come on be a man about it
00:57:02You won't die. I ain't got no more tears to cry. I can't take this no more
00:57:12No, I gotta let it go
00:57:16And you know
00:57:24This is me. Oh my god, that's actually giving me goosebumps
00:57:37Sounds right, baby, you gotta set me
00:57:41Let me get over you
00:57:49The way you've gotten over me too
00:57:51Oh
00:57:53Feels like my time has come and I'll be moving on
00:58:10Show me the way to get my life again
00:58:16Cause you can't handle me
00:58:19The control
00:58:20His tone is insane
00:58:21Can't you see, baby
00:58:24You gotta set me free
00:58:32I'm out of love
00:58:36Oh my lord
00:58:38Oh my lord
00:58:40Oh my lord
00:58:41Oh my lord
00:58:42I am absolutely shocked
00:58:44I have never heard my song sound like that
00:58:47First of all, might steal the arrangement
00:58:50Just saying
00:58:52And also your tone
00:58:53And everything
00:58:55Your falsetto to
00:58:57Like you're really good
00:58:58Thank you
00:58:59Like the feeling that comes out of you is a whole different
00:59:02The moodiness of what that song created
00:59:05It's not even my song anymore
00:59:07Like I was, I was getting chills
00:59:09Yeah
00:59:09Woo
00:59:10That was, you know
00:59:11Wow
00:59:11What can I say?
00:59:13Boyfriend, you can sing
00:59:14Thank you
00:59:15So much, I really appreciate that
00:59:17You didn't buckle under pressure
00:59:18No
00:59:19That's pressure
00:59:20I felt like I was watching like a Sam Smith or something
00:59:22Like you've been doing this for forever
00:59:24Like Kyle, are you losing your mind over there or what?
00:59:27Yeah, no, he is exactly what I'm looking for
00:59:29Like Sam Sparrow-y vibes, Sam Smith-y vibes
00:59:32Straight on the radio tomorrow, that's what I'm looking for
00:59:35Who wants to kick this off?
00:59:37Yes
00:59:37Yes
00:59:38Three yeses
00:59:39Yes, there you go
00:59:40Four yeses
00:59:41Easy as that
00:59:42We'll see you in the Savo
00:59:44Where we hand out the golden ticket
00:59:46Hopefully you get one, but
00:59:47I think we should just do this
00:59:49Get over here
00:59:49What?
00:59:50Now we're doing, this has not happened
00:59:53Oh
00:59:53Come here
00:59:53Oh
00:59:54This is, this is because
00:59:56You didn't even need to sing the rest of the song
00:59:58You just needed like one line in
01:00:00I was ready to throw them all at you
01:00:02She does what she wants
01:00:03We don't hand those out
01:00:05At this stage
01:00:06No
01:00:07Like four yeses
01:00:08Come on, man
01:00:09I think it's just a given
01:00:10That's right, yeah
01:00:11Yeah, definitely
