00:11:09Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye
00:11:12Like Hathaway
00:11:13Write a song for you like this
00:11:15I'm over my head

00:11:17Thinking I was born
00:11:19In the wrong time
00:11:20It's love on rewind

00:11:30Yay
00:11:31Wow
00:11:32Luke
00:11:33You don't have like the best singing voice
00:11:36And there wasn't much melody even in the rap
00:11:39I mean we should probably have told Jess this
00:11:42The level is already very high
00:11:44Yeah the bar's been set
00:11:45Yeah yeah
00:11:45For me it's gonna be a no
00:11:47Easy
00:11:47Easy
00:11:48Look the energy you brought in is very positive
00:11:50And we thank you for that
00:11:51But it's a no from me
00:11:53The hardest thing for me about being a judge
00:11:56Is that I have to learn to say no
00:12:00I that's not in my DNA
00:12:03I thought of your body
00:12:05I came alive
00:12:08But I woke up
00:12:10Every time
00:12:13Oh baby
00:12:16I think you had the desire and the passion
00:12:24You were really great in the chorus
00:12:27And then you just slightly lost pitch
00:12:31I'm a genie and a bottle
00:12:38You gotta rub me the right way
00:12:41I'm a genie and a bottle baby
00:12:44Come and come
00:12:45Come on and let me out
00:12:48It's a big decision Jess
00:12:53Yeah yeah yeah yeah
00:12:54You were better than others
00:12:57But I think there's you know
00:13:01Jess has the voice of an angel and the heart to match
00:13:04Coming on here is so brave
00:13:07But when it comes to Jess saying no to someone
00:13:09She sucks
00:13:11Thank you so much for showing up today

00:26:32Hold on.
00:26:33Stop, stop.
00:26:35Oh, thank you.
00:26:37Oh, thank you.
00:26:38Stop.
00:26:39Amazing.
00:26:40So, judging time.
00:26:42Judging time.
00:26:43Yes.
00:26:44Serious time.
00:26:45The vocals, Vince.
00:26:47Mm-hmm.
00:26:48They're not strong.
00:26:50Mm-hmm.
00:26:51But this show isn't just about the voice.
00:26:54This is about the entire package and you have a style.
00:26:59You've got a cracking personality.
00:27:03You have an energy that has got star-like qualities.
00:27:07And that's what we're trying to find is someone who people will connect with.
00:27:11Yeah.
00:27:12I think more importantly, like, you raised energy.
00:27:14All three of us had a big smile.
00:27:16Yeah.
00:27:17On our face.
00:27:18Oh, it means a lot.
00:27:20Marsha, you're very quiet.
00:27:21I am because I don't want you to get lost in the shuffle.
00:27:24Mm-hmm.
00:27:25And for me, you know, I want to hear a voice.
00:27:27Your voice was okay, Vince.
00:27:28It wasn't bad.
00:27:29Mm-hmm.
00:27:30But really, for me, it wasn't strong enough.
00:27:32Mm-hmm.
00:27:33You know what I mean?
00:27:34Yeah, but he brings something else.
00:27:35It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:27:38And I'll leave it to you girls.
00:27:40No.
00:27:41No.
00:27:42It's all yours.
00:27:43No, no, no.
00:27:44Don't leave us, Marsha.
00:27:45Don't leave us.
00:27:46Don't leave us.
00:27:47I don't know.
00:27:48I think it was, like, a fun song choice.
00:27:49Yes.
00:27:50But it probably wasn't the best song to play to us because it didn't showcase...
00:27:58Your voice.
00:27:59Correct.
00:28:00Mm-hmm.
00:28:01But I think you had the potential to, you know, work and fight.
00:28:06I do.
00:28:07You know?
00:28:08So it's a yes from me.
00:28:11And if you don't work and fight, you just get booted off.
00:28:13That's it.
00:28:14It's a yes from me.
00:28:15Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:16You're welcome.
00:28:17So, well done.
00:28:19And we'll see you later on today and maybe you'll take home a golden ticket.
00:28:20Maybe.
00:28:21Nice work, Vince.
00:28:22Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:23We'll see you later on.
00:28:24See you later.
00:28:26Bye.
00:28:27Yeehaw.
00:28:28Yeehaw.
00:28:29Thanks for the dance.
00:28:31Well done.
00:28:32He doesn't look like he's got an achy, breaky heart.
00:28:35How you going, guys?
00:28:38It means so much to me to get a golden ticket by just that next step.
00:28:42Nice to meet, mate.
00:28:43One step closer.
00:28:44It's been out there and getting out there and doing what I love.

00:31:35Now, the issue is, am I able to do this just-
00:31:39You can do whatever you like.
00:31:40Yes.
00:31:41Use the floor.
00:31:42Okay.
00:31:43All right.
00:31:44Well, we might have to start, we might have to start here then.
00:31:46Yeah.
00:31:47Okay.
00:31:48All right.
00:31:49Yes.
00:31:50I'm ready for this.
00:31:51I hope you like it.
00:31:53Okay.
00:31:54There ain't a reason you and me should be alone tonight, yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby.
00:32:09But I got a reason that you should take me home tonight.
00:32:14I need a man that thinks is right when it's so wrong tonight, yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby.
00:32:15Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight.
00:32:29It's hard to feel the rush to push the dangerous.
00:32:30I'm gonna run right to turn the edge with you, where we can both fall for real life.
00:32:46I'm on the edge of glory.
00:32:47I'm on the edge of glory.
00:32:48And I'm hanging on a moment of truth.
00:32:49I'm on the edge of glory.
00:32:50And I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:32:51I'm on the edge of glory.
00:32:52I'm on the edge of glory.
00:32:53And I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:32:54I'm on the edge of glory.
00:32:55And I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:32:56I'm on the edge with you.
00:33:24Well look at you. How does that feel?
00:33:28Good. She's got a voice.
00:33:30Yes.
00:33:31And it's arrived.
00:33:36Oh, God.
00:33:37Where do I begin?
00:33:39I'm exhausted by that.
00:33:41That's a lot of energy.
00:33:43She's full on.
00:33:44She's full on.
00:33:45Did she choreograph that herself?
00:33:47Pardon?
00:33:48Did she choreograph that herself?
00:33:49I did, yes.
00:33:50Yes, honey, you did.
00:33:52Do you do much theatre?
00:33:54Have you done any performances in theatre?
00:33:56Yes, like a little bit.
00:33:57I've got a sense of that.
00:33:59That's your kind of domain and that's where you're coming from.
00:34:02I think it's just because you're so theatrical.
00:34:05Yeah.
00:34:06It would almost be a shame if you didn't do it.
00:34:09But, unfortunately, it's going to be a no from me.
00:34:13Okay.
00:34:14It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:34:17Sadly, Olivia, it's a no from me.
00:34:20Alright.
00:34:21Thank you, Libby.
00:34:22Okay.
00:34:23Thank you for your time.
00:34:24No worries.
00:34:26Have a great day.
00:34:27Bye.
00:34:28Bye.
00:34:29Thank you so much.
00:34:30So much to unpack there.
00:34:34But we don't have time.
00:34:36Next.
00:34:37To be the next Australian Idol, you need the perfect blend of vocals and vibe.
00:34:46Determination Walk.
00:34:47I love it.
00:34:48I was a strut.
00:34:49How we doing?
00:34:50Good.
00:34:51How are you?
00:34:52Amazing.
00:34:53This is the best day of my life.
00:34:54You look like you've got the vibe.
00:34:55You got a cool vibe.
00:34:57It's not like it was bad, but it's not going to reach the level of talent that we're looking
00:35:02for this year, I'm afraid.
00:35:03For me, it's a no, but I thank you.
00:35:05Whoa, whoa.
00:35:06He's a working class man.
00:35:07Wow.
00:35:08Jesus.
00:35:09He ain't worried about tomorrow.
00:35:10Cause he just made up his mind.
00:35:11Life's too short for burning bridges.
00:35:12Take one day at a time.
00:35:13Take one day at a time.
00:35:14It's not going to reach the level of talent that we're looking for this year, I'm afraid.
00:35:17For me, it's a no, but I thank you.
00:35:18Whoa, whoa.
00:35:19He's a working class man.
00:35:20Wow.
00:35:21Jesus.
00:35:22He ain't worried about tomorrow.
00:35:23Cause he just made up his mind.
00:35:24Life's too short for burning bridges.
00:35:28Take one day at a time.
00:35:40Whoa, whoa.
00:35:45He's a working class man.
00:35:48He's mad.
00:35:50Yes.
00:35:51Luke, you are born for musical theatre.
00:35:55Thank you so much.
00:35:56Yep.
00:35:57Unfortunately, it's going to be a no from me just because we sort of need it. We just need a different sort of vibe, you know
00:36:04Nice to see you. Thank you. My name's James. Hi James. I'm 32 and I'm here to do some Sinatra today
00:36:09Oh, I love Sinatra. What do you do otherwise?
00:36:12I'm a pest control by day jazz singer by night. Okay. He must have got rid of Kyle
00:36:17I'm the termite guy, spider guy, cockroach guy, bed bug guy, everything else guy
00:36:29I like pest control, but it's not my passion. Music is is what I'm all about
00:36:34I always wanted to be like a rock singer growing up, but my grandma said to me she's like James
00:36:40I think you'd be a really good boobly
00:36:44Do you do geeks? Um, I do the old retirement home here and there. So I've got a little jazz band back home
00:36:50Yeah, a few undies here and there
00:36:57They're not panties there
00:37:00There's different names
00:37:02Okay, so um you look the part. Thank you feel like you've got you know your style
00:37:08Are we ready ladies when you get into this? All right, I'm excited and when you're ready for

00:37:23I've got you
00:37:27Under my skin
00:37:31I've got you
00:37:34Deep in the heart of me
00:37:38So deep in my heart
00:37:40You're really a part of me
00:37:42You're really a part of me
00:37:43I've got you
00:37:45I've got you
00:37:47Under my skin
00:37:49Under my skin
00:37:51I'd sacrifice anything come what might for the sake of having you near
00:37:57In spite of that warning voice
00:37:59In spite of that warning voice
00:38:00That comes in the night and repeats
00:38:02Screams in my ear
00:38:04Don't you know you fool?
00:38:06You never can win
00:38:09Use your mentality
00:38:12Wake up to reality
00:38:14Wake up to reality
00:38:18But each time that I do just the thought of you makes me stop
00:38:23Before I begin
00:38:25Cause I've got you
00:38:28Under my skin
00:38:32And I love you
00:38:35Under my skin
00:38:37I love you
00:38:38I love you
00:38:39I love you
00:38:40I love you

00:41:44I love performing music is a big part of who I am
00:41:48Being young and being in the industry has actually been quite amazing for me
00:41:54Because I've had such a wonderful support system who's helped me through all of this
00:41:59But the children's entertainment industry can only take me so far
00:42:03And can only challenge me so far
00:42:05And I want to expand my horizons
00:42:08My dream is to pursue music as a solo artist
00:42:13This just means so much to me
00:42:16And I want to prove I'm a solo artist
00:42:21Time to shine

00:43:22I'm going to play Bubbly by Kobe Colette
00:43:24Good song
00:43:25Take a big breath
00:43:27And sing when you're ready
00:43:29I've been awake for a while now
00:43:39You got me feeling like a child now
00:43:44Cause every time I see your bubbly face
00:43:49It gives me tingles in a silly place
00:43:52Starts on my toes
00:43:54Makes me crinkle my nose
00:43:56Wherever it goes
00:43:58I always know
00:44:00That you make me smile
00:44:02Please stay for a while now

00:44:06Wherever you go
00:44:09The rain is pouring on my windowpain
00:44:12But
00:44:13We were hiding in a safer place
00:44:17Undercover
00:44:18Staying dry and warm
00:44:20You give me feelings that I adore
00:44:23They started my toes
00:44:24Makes me crinkle my nose
00:44:26Wherever it goes

00:44:53Wherever
00:44:54You go
00:44:55Okay
00:45:01You've got one of those faces
00:45:03You've got one of those faces. You look so worried. Honey, we're on your side.
00:45:07No, it's okay. Thank you.
00:45:08Okay, all right, so breathe, you know. Take a couple breaths.
00:45:12You know, I like the innocence of your voice. It's a very pretty voice.
00:45:18You know, how did that performance make you feel?
00:45:21I know that I have a lot to prove, and I know that I can challenge myself more with bigger songs.
00:45:27Okay.
00:45:30I'll tell you what I didn't like first.
00:45:33I sort of felt like I was watching a kid's program for a second there.
00:45:41What I did like is you've got a great voice, especially when you let it rip, and you know how to play that thing.
00:45:48You understand dynamics, so there's a lot to like.
00:45:51But I'm also confused.
00:45:53Okay, I understand.
00:45:54So I'm just going to hear out the girls.
00:45:57Jess?
00:45:58I can hear the potential in your voice.
00:46:00It's so hard, I guess, when you're trying to break away from something really amazing, and I can see you're on that path and that you're on that road.
00:46:08And my feeling and my instincts are saying, I want to put you through.
00:46:15And I'm going to say a yes.
00:46:19What do you think?
00:46:20What's in your gut right now?
00:46:21Well, I feel, I feel, I really liked your performance.
00:46:26I really appreciate it.
00:46:26You know, what I really liked was the sincerity.
00:46:30I knew that what you just did meant a lot to you.
00:46:35So I'm just, for me, it's a yes.
00:46:38You don't even need me.
00:46:41We'll see you later on.
00:46:42Thank you very much for your time.
00:46:44Thanks, Ava.
00:46:44I appreciate it.
00:46:45Congratulations.
00:46:46Are you going to tell us what happened?
00:46:54I got yeses.
00:46:55Yay!
00:46:57Congratulations.
00:47:02Go and celebrate, guys.
00:47:04We'll see you later on.
00:47:10We're nearly there today, ladies.
00:47:13Well, not really.

00:47:15No.
00:47:15Are we there yet?
00:47:17I'm feeling like, yeah!

00:48:19And you've got it on.
00:48:27All you fall when it will is broken
00:48:34When it slips from your hands
00:48:38When there's no time for choking
00:48:42There's a blow in the plane
00:48:46No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
00:48:52No, you don't mean nothing at all to me
00:49:01But you got what it takes to set me free
00:49:09Oh, you put me down with it to me
00:49:22Wow
00:49:26We weren't ready for that to finish
00:49:28Yeah, I'm like, more?

00:49:40Very unique vocals
00:49:43I was not expecting that at all
00:49:45There's something really special and unique here
00:49:48I'm shook
00:49:51You know, I mean, I really like what you brought to the table
00:49:55And it was mysterious
00:49:56And what you just did was very cool
00:49:58Slightly confusing
00:50:00But very cool
00:50:01You seem very quiet
00:50:04Are you nervous, or?
00:50:06I'm nervous, yeah
00:50:08But it's because this means so much to me
00:50:10Yeah
00:50:11Okay
00:50:12Interesting
00:50:14I think you still feel very green to me
00:50:19Like, you still feel nervous and a bit not sure
00:50:24Are you the next Australian Idol?
00:50:32I'm just going to say no
00:50:33You need two yeses to get through
00:50:38Look, I'm just going to say for me it's a yes
00:50:42Yes, I'm keen to see more, Marcia
00:50:45It's a yes from me
00:50:46Yeah, for real
00:50:46There you go
00:50:47Belly dance is in
00:50:49Yeah, you do that, you know, victory dance
00:50:51Can you show us a belly dance?
00:50:52Yeah
00:50:53Yeah
00:50:53Nice work, Tyra
00:50:57So we'll see you later on today
00:50:59And we'll see if you can get yourself a golden ticket
00:51:01It's going to be hard, okay?
00:51:02Thank you
00:51:03So excited
00:51:03We'll see you later on, okay?
00:51:04Give it to me, I'm worth it

00:51:12Give it to me, I'm worth it
00:51:13Coming up
00:51:14Ladies and gentlemen, we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol
00:51:17It's uncanny, do you think?
00:51:20Does anyone sing?
00:51:22You're too young
00:51:23And will one of our teenagers, or crooner James, make the top 30?
00:51:30The one golden ticket that we have here is going to go to
00:51:36While Jess is taking care of the judging back at Idol HQ
00:51:48Kyle is on assignment in the nation's capital
00:51:52Canberra's known for its many, many roundabouts
00:51:59Questacon, the Royal Australian Mint
00:52:02Floriad, the big flower show
00:52:04The list goes on
00:52:06We'll see about three more things on that list
00:52:08A lot of people don't know this, but I'm a big fan of flowers
00:52:15The smell
00:52:17If you could smell what I could smell, you're in heaven here
00:52:20And there might be some singers
00:52:22So let's come and find them
00:52:24Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen
00:52:28We are auditioning singers for Australian Idol
00:52:30Ladies, don't lie, I know you've got singing chops
00:52:34Hang on
00:52:36I've been immortalised here in a statue
00:52:39It's uncanny, do you think?
00:52:42Keep my hands on myself
00:52:43Oh no
00:52:44The countdown
00:52:45At least we know when it's going to happen
00:52:48So I'm up here and I'm searching
00:52:51As far as the eye can see
00:52:53We are filming Australian Idol
00:52:58Does anyone sing?
00:52:59You're too young
00:53:00So if you're here smelling flowers
00:53:03And you'd like to be singing on stage
00:53:06We are auditioning singers for Australian Idol
00:53:08And let's hear what you've got
00:53:10Hi there
00:53:11Nice to meet you, I'm Jack

00:53:13Mate, you a singer?
00:53:13Yeah, I am
00:53:14What do you do for a living?
00:53:15I'm a personal trainer for athletes
00:53:16I work with athletes, yeah
00:53:17Oh, you looked at me and thought
00:53:19There's someone that'll just keep paying and paying and paying
00:53:22Let's go down to the middle of the flower circle
00:53:25Yep
00:53:25And give it your best
00:53:26And if you've got what it takes
00:53:27I'll bring you back to Idol HQ
00:53:28And you audition in front of all the judges
00:53:31Awesome
00:53:31With one Idol hopeful locked in
00:53:34Kyle needs to find one more singer to audition
00:53:38Hi there, how are you?
00:53:41Hi, I'm well, thank you
00:53:42You look fabulous
00:53:43Look at you head to toe and pinch
00:53:44How are you?
00:53:46I saw the ice cream truck
00:53:48And I thought that's exactly what I need
00:53:49Okay
00:53:50I hope it stays in, is that okay?
00:53:53That is fantastic
00:53:54Do you sing?
00:53:58I do, yeah
00:53:59You do?
00:54:00Yes
00:54:00You're not just doing cones, but you're singing as well
00:54:02I am a singer, yes
00:54:04Come on out of that truck
00:54:05Everyone else here in line is going to have to wait
00:54:08I want the girl to sing
00:54:09Her Australian Idol audition starts now
00:54:12I'm Katie Lee, I'm 28 years old and I'm from Canberra
00:54:18I work in an ice cream truck because my parents own one
00:54:21And I have to work it
00:54:22Sorry, it's true
00:54:26Music is every moment of every day basically
00:54:29So if I'm not on TikTok singing
00:54:30Then I'm singing in the shower
00:54:33Or I'm driving around with music playing
00:54:34I sing every day
00:54:36It's my everything
00:54:37Like it is such a big part of my life
00:54:40Kyle's search has been successful
00:54:44Now it's up to Jack and Katie Lee to show him they've got what it takes to be invited back to Idol HQ
00:54:52Alright, and here comes Jack, our personal trainer
00:54:57Hey, how are you going?
00:54:58Hello
00:54:58How are you, mate? Thanks for coming
00:54:59This is Katie Lee
00:55:00Katie Lee, this is Jack
00:55:01Hi, how are you?
00:55:01Now what I'm here to do is find someone looking for a great singer with a great vibe, a great personality
00:55:08So that's the mission
00:55:09Yep
00:55:10Who'd like to go first? Katie Lee, ladies first
00:55:12Okay
00:55:13I'll go first
00:55:13What are you going to sing for us?
00:55:14I'm going to sing We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande
00:55:17Oh!
00:55:18You're Australiana Grande
00:55:19That's what I'd like to think of you as
00:55:22Okay
00:55:22Ladies and gentlemen, singing in the tulips is Katie Lee
00:55:26And here is my
00:55:26That is the music right there
00:55:28Oh, you've got a track on there?
00:55:29I've got the track on there for you
00:55:30Okay
00:55:31Want me to hit play?
00:55:32Yes, please
00:55:32Okay, Katie Lee, go for gold
00:55:35I didn't think you'd understand me
00:55:43How could you ever even try?
00:55:54Cause I don't want to tiptoe, but I don't want to hide
00:55:59But I don't want to be this monstrous
00:56:02But I just want to let the story die
00:56:07And I'll be alright
00:56:10We can't be friends
00:56:13But I'd like to just pretend
00:56:17You cling to your papers and bands
00:56:22Wait until you like me
00:56:24I can wait for your love
00:56:28My love the way I feel like me
00:56:33Ooh, keep going
00:56:36Thank you, that's it
00:56:37Hey, fantastic job
00:56:39All right, better give you that phone there
00:56:40Oh, thank you
00:56:41It's already starting to ring
00:56:42Jack, you're next, my friend
00:56:44What are you going to sing for us?
00:56:46I'm Yours by Jason Mraz
00:56:47Now, that's no easy task
00:56:49Good luck
00:56:50Thank you
00:56:51Here's Jack, everyone
00:56:52Well, you done done me
00:56:57And you bet I felt it
00:56:58I tried to be chill
00:57:00But you're so hot that I melted
00:57:02I fell right through the cracks
00:57:04And now I'm trying to get back
00:57:08Before the cool done run out
00:57:10I'll be giving it my best diss
00:57:12And nothing's gonna stop me
00:57:14But divine intervention
00:57:15I reckon it's again my turn
00:57:18To win some or learn some
00:57:22But I won't hesitate
00:57:27No more, no more
00:57:31It cannot wait
00:57:34I'm yours
00:57:37Jack, very nice. Thank you
00:57:39Thank you
00:57:40I've never been sung to
00:57:41In the middle of a beautiful bunch of flowers
00:57:43By another man
00:57:44There you go
00:57:45I appreciate it
00:57:46Okay, come up Katie Lee
00:57:48Hi
00:57:48Now, my job, as I said, is tough
00:57:51Because you can both sing
00:57:52You both look fantastic
00:57:54I want someone I can play on the radio
00:57:56Both of you have shown me songs today
00:57:58That I can hear me playing and introducing
00:58:00I can see a spot for both of you on the show
00:58:05But I can only bring one
00:58:06That's the unfortunate part
00:58:08Jack
00:58:14Jack
00:58:14I'm so sorry
00:58:17But it's not going to be you today
00:58:19Thank you
00:58:20I appreciate it, man. Thanks very much
00:58:21Thanks
00:58:22Nice to meet you
00:58:22Nice to meet you as well
00:58:23Good job. You did really well
00:58:24Good job
00:58:25You really did well
00:58:26That leaves you
00:58:28Who's your...
00:58:31Who's this random man?
00:58:35Is this your husband?
00:58:37One day he marries me
00:58:39This is your man?
00:58:40Yes
00:58:40I'm taking you to Idle Headquarters
00:58:42Are you really?
00:58:42I'm taking you to Idle, darling
00:58:44You'll be well looked after
00:58:46Don't worry
00:58:47There's a double bed
00:58:47So you can bring your fella
00:58:48I do feel some pressure
00:58:50Meeting the other judges
00:58:51I idolise them as well
00:58:53See you at Idle Headquarters
00:58:55Gentlemen
00:58:55Thank you
00:58:56Thank you
00:58:56We'll take good care of her
00:58:57I really hope that they love my music
00:58:59And I hope that they can see
00:59:00What potential I have
00:59:02Coming up
00:59:08Will Semele's or Katie Lee's
00:59:11Top 30 dreams come true?
00:59:14The singer receiving the golden ticket
00:59:16Is going to be
00:59:28Week one of auditions
00:59:30Saw the judges award nine golden tickets
00:59:33To the hottest fresh talent
00:59:35In the competition's history
00:59:36What you get is what you see
00:59:41There ain't nothing more to it
00:59:43That was incredible
00:59:44Thank you
00:59:45You're exciting
00:59:46I don't know what I'm crying for
00:59:51I don't think I could love you more
00:59:56Charlie
00:59:57That was beautiful
00:59:59You sang that with so much real emotion
01:00:02I'm blown away by you
01:00:04And now Jess
01:00:08Marsha and Amy
01:00:09Have the difficult decision to make
01:00:12Who will join them
01:00:14In the top 30
01:00:16It's been a baptism of fire
01:00:23For special guest judge
01:00:24Jess Melboy
01:00:25But she's helped to unearth
01:00:28Seven potential idols
01:00:30Guys
01:00:31I just want to say
01:00:32It has been so amazing
01:00:33Being with you both
01:00:34Oh my god for the best day
01:00:35Yes we have
01:00:36We have some singers
01:00:37Yeah
01:00:37She was interesting
01:00:39Great spirit
01:00:40But this boy
01:00:43Oh
01:00:43I can't get over here
01:00:45He survived
01:00:45Kyle's found this girl
01:00:48That he's auditioned
01:00:49In Canberra
01:00:50I mean we've got
01:00:59A really really tough
01:01:01Few decisions to make
01:01:02Yeah we do
01:01:03You think some of our singers
01:01:04Are starting to question
01:01:05If they've done enough
01:01:07Yeah I feel like the reality
01:01:08Is really starting to sink in
01:01:10For these guys now
01:01:11This is full on
01:01:13This is the most crazy experience
01:01:16In the world
01:01:16I'm a little bit worried
01:01:17The competition feels absolutely real
01:01:20And the standard is so high
01:01:22Bring them in
01:01:23Up first to find out their fate
01:01:27Are two teenage dynamos
01:01:29Tayo and Ava
01:01:30And Adelaide's crooner James
01:01:33Cause I've got you
01:01:36Under my skin
01:01:39Just take your time
01:01:42You are my treasure
01:01:44You are my treasure
01:01:47This is insane
01:01:47You are my treasure
01:01:49Yeah you, you, you, you
01:01:51I'm feeling pretty nervous
01:01:55I think Ava is really big competition
01:01:57Especially for me
01:01:58Because we're similar ages
01:01:59I hope I've done enough
01:02:01For the golden ticket
01:02:02I'm crossing my fingers
01:02:03There's so much more
01:02:06That I want to prove
01:02:07To be deserving of this spot
01:02:09I cannot wait to show myself
01:02:12As a solo artist
01:02:13My real passion is obviously music
01:02:16I've always dreamed of having
01:02:17My name in lights
01:02:18And I think it's time for me to shine
01:02:20It's time
01:02:23Good luck you guys

01:02:56Even though you're all different
01:02:58The performances
01:03:00Were so good
01:03:02It made it really
01:03:05Really difficult

01:03:08To one of you
01:03:09Just straight up
01:03:10For one of you
01:03:14The nerves kind of took over
01:03:15Which is such a drag

01:03:21Is going to be
