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 people here that I just can't get out of my mind
00:00:38like him oh her her can I just guess one of your favorites car you know you made
00:00:50me wanna the remaining singers are gonna have to fight for every note it's no
00:01:02longer about being good it's about being unforgettable no one knows we've only
00:01:06got four tickets left like it's gonna be stressful for contestants today. Best to
00:01:10the best that's what we're looking for. Awesome.
00:01:23Oh mate the heart is racing. Hi. Hello everybody. Hi how are ya? I'm very nervous. I get it I
00:01:31get it.
00:01:32My name's Kira I'm 21. And what do you do with yourself? I'm a nurse. Oh awesome. Why
00:01:39did you become a nurse? I had an accident as a kid. I was 12 years old and I was
00:01:46in a
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 it was like a gnarly scar down there. I was knocked
00:01:58completely
00:01:59unconscious and I had a complete right-sided facial palsy so I had no movement at all. My
00:02:05eye didn't close. My lip didn't lift. How old were you? 12. My goodness. Like I was told I'd never
00:02:12sing
00:02:12again. I was told I would never live a normal life. And the nurses were the shining light? The
00:02:19nurses were the shining light and I think there's such there's something so special about being able
00:02:24to give back in that way that you've been there. Like there's nothing like knowing that someone's
00:02:30going through something and I was also there too. You must have done a lot of like therapy like
00:02:36movement therapy and like. A lot of work a lot of determination so I'm definitely like I'm here for
00:02:42my my younger self to prove to her that we can do it. I love that. We can do it.
00:02:47What are you
00:02:48going to sing? I'm singing What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish. Beautiful song. Hope I can do it
00:02:53justice. I'm sure you'll make it your own. Absolutely. When you're ready Deb.
00:03:12I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.
00:03:17Now I just fall down. I used to know. But I'm not sure now. What I was made for. What
00:03:35was I made for?
00:03:49I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.
00:03:57I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.
00:03:58I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.
00:03:58I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.

00:04:03I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I
00:04:09I forgot how to be happy
00:04:15Something I'm not
00:04:18But something I can be
00:04:22Something I'm made for
00:04:32Something I'm made for
00:04:41Thank you
00:04:44That was a really great audition
00:04:47Thank you
00:04:48I was lost in you
00:04:51I think you've got a gorgeous voice in there
00:04:55I think it's going to be a yes from me
00:04:57Thank you
00:04:59What do you guys think?
00:05:04That really touched me after the story
00:05:07Beautiful delivery
00:05:10However, I don't know if it's strong enough to be put through
00:05:13It's beautiful
00:05:14Okay
00:05:15You're wonderful
00:05:17But there are just people we've already put through that are way better
00:05:21Really?
00:05:23I could give more
00:05:24I feel I'm convinced by the story and the song
00:05:30I would love to give everyone the opportunity
00:05:32But sometimes you do give someone the chance and maybe you shouldn't
00:05:37I'm guilty of that as well
00:05:44I'm going to have to say no
00:05:46Okay
00:05:46I'm sorry
00:05:48Well, you need two yeses
00:05:51What do you feel, Marsha?
00:05:53You did an okay audition
00:05:54I think you should study a bit more with your voice
00:05:57Because I can actually hear the nerves
00:05:58Which is understandable
00:06:01But it's not going to reach the level of talent that we're looking for this year, I'm afraid
00:06:08I...
00:06:10I'll have to say no
00:06:12I don't want to say no, but I'm going to say no because of what we've seen already in the
00:06:16film
00:06:16Yeah, absolutely
00:06:17All right
00:06:19I'm really sorry
00:06:20I'm actually really disappointed
00:06:22That's all right
00:06:22I think you're fantastic
00:06:24Thank you
00:06:24I hope you keep going
00:06:25I'm really sorry for that
00:06:27That's okay
00:06:28It was worth a shot
00:06:29It was
00:06:30It totally was
00:06:30I appreciate you very much
00:06:32And I really appreciate your time
00:06:32Thank you guys so much
00:06:33You have a lovely rest of your day
00:06:34You too
00:06:35Thank you
00:06:35Unfortunately for Kira, with only four golden tickets left
00:06:39The judges have to make some incredibly tough calls
00:06:42Because this season, the standard has been truly exceptional

00:08:07Hello uncle, how are you?
00:08:07I'm Josh, nice to meet you
00:08:09Josh!
00:08:09So nice to meet you
00:08:10Welcome to Australian Idol
00:08:11Thank you very much
00:08:14The impact that music has had on my life has been extremely positive
00:08:18I've been singing since about four years old
00:08:21We used to chuck on this John Farnham DVD
00:08:23And Dad told me to get up and sing
00:08:26You know, just have a sing
00:08:29And I sang it
00:08:30And I saw the look in my Dad's face
00:08:32And I could tell that I did well
00:08:35I'm getting really emotional about this actually
00:08:39Because I haven't thought about it in a while
00:08:41But that was the moment
00:08:42The moment that I saw my Dad be proud of me
00:08:44I was like, if Dad thinks it's good
00:08:47It's good, yeah
00:08:50Alright, it's time
00:08:51Give him a big hug
00:08:52I love you
00:08:54See you soon
00:08:55Good luck
00:08:56Bye
00:08:57I want to be an artist that writes good music for the Australian people
00:09:00That people want to depend on when they want someone to play at the grand final
00:09:04Or like, you know, at the Opera House
00:09:07Or the big gigs that the Aussies want
00:09:09I want to be that guy
00:09:11Yeah
00:09:12If they say he's going home I'm just going to cry the whole night
00:09:18You reckon?
00:09:19I don't know
00:09:19I don't know
00:09:20I cried the whole night when I had to go home from Australian Idol too
00:09:24Yeah
00:09:25But you did make it
00:09:27I did
00:09:27I didn't know
00:09:28Yeah, but I really wanted to win
00:09:30You made it eventually
00:09:33I did, I did
00:09:40Hello
00:09:40Hello
00:09:41How are you buddy, what's your name?
00:09:43I'm Josh
00:09:44I'm 30 years old and I'm from Geelong
00:09:47Now you look like a real deal muso guy
00:09:49I try
00:09:50That's good, so how long have you been doing music for?
00:09:53Um, I've been playing for about 16 years
00:09:56But I've been singing since I was about 4 or 5 years old
00:09:59And what got you into music in the first place, as a career option?
00:10:03Um, my friends and family, more so my dad
00:10:06But a lot of it was kind of my own little inspiration too
00:10:09Like I wanted to do it regardless of what anyone thought
00:10:12Good
00:10:12Good
00:10:13Yeah
00:10:13Well that's a great path
00:10:15Because being forced down a path to live out your parents' fantasies never really works out
00:10:21What are you going to do for us?
00:10:22I'm going to sing a song called Electric Feel by MGMT
00:10:25Great song
00:10:26Oh yes
00:10:27And I'm going to put a little of my own little pizzazz on it
00:10:29Great, excellent news
00:10:30Okay
00:10:31Josh from Geelong
00:10:33Let's see what you got

00:11:03I saw her in the Amazon
00:11:06He sounds so good
00:11:08The voltage running in through her skin
00:11:12Standing there with nothing on
00:11:16Is she going to teach me how to swim?
00:11:23I said oh girl
00:11:28Shock me like an electric eel
00:11:32Yeah
00:11:33Baby girl
00:11:35Yeah

00:11:54Do what you feel now
00:11:55Electric feel now
00:12:01Cause I said oh girl
00:12:12Not what I was expecting
00:12:13I don't know what I was expecting
00:12:16But when you started to sing
00:12:17I was like oh
00:12:18This is a real singer
00:12:21I can hear you doing so many different songs
00:12:24That were just popping in my head
00:12:25As I was listening to you
00:12:26Run up and down that vocal range
00:12:29I'm just giving you a yes up front
00:12:31I liked it
00:12:32Thanks so much
00:12:33My heart's beating up a million miles an hour
00:12:35I was going to say

00:12:38Yeah it would be wouldn't it
00:12:39Yeah
00:12:39Don't do that we need you
00:12:41I love it when I see a singer step back and blow people away with the volume of their voice
00:12:48And I congratulate you immensely on that performance
00:12:51Thank you
00:12:52It's a yes from me

00:13:46With top 30 spots at a premium she'll have to deliver
00:13:51Oh my gosh no pressure
00:13:53As only the best of the best will make it through

00:15:20My name is Jamie Lamont
00:15:21I am 20 years old and I'm from the Gold Coast
00:15:28I love the 70s
00:15:29I love 70s fashion
00:15:31I love the big heels and you know all the colours
00:15:35I guess people call me a little bit of a hippie sometimes
00:15:39And I'm a little bit old school with my music taste
00:15:43I grew up listening to Carole King and Nina Simone and Aretha Franklin in the car with my dad
00:15:48And it's still the music that I go back to if I need to ground myself
00:15:53I'm definitely an old soul
00:15:55I'm a 1970s girl born in the 21st century
00:15:57I'm going to have some love tonight
00:16:02I need hot stuff

00:16:16Yeah, I know it well, lived it
00:16:17But you know what?
00:16:18You got that 70s vibe but it doesn't look costumey
00:16:20It looks very natural
00:16:21Thank you
00:16:23Very very naturally suits you
00:16:25What you mean?
00:16:26Thank you
00:16:26My name is Jamie Lamont
00:16:27I am 20 years old and I'm from the Gold Coast
00:16:29I mean the outfit, the outfit she just already looks like a star
00:16:33I'm a thrifter so this is all thrifted
00:16:35Oh, now you're talking our language
00:16:36I actually bought these shoes
00:16:37Yeah, I bought these shoes the other day
00:16:38So I was like these are perfect for this show
00:16:40I sew shop at any thrift shop I can find
00:16:45It's like you have to go rummaging
00:16:46Retro, retro
00:16:47I love a good rummage
00:16:48It's gorgeous
00:16:49So, what are you going to sing?
00:16:50I'm going to sing I Feel the Earth Move by Carole King
00:16:53Good choice
00:16:55So, get your breath together
00:16:57Perform when you're ready, okay?
00:16:59Perfect
00:16:59Take your time honey
00:17:00No worries
00:17:05Let's do it
00:17:22I love her sound
00:17:24I feel my heart start to tremble
00:17:26Whenever you're around
00:17:31Oh baby
00:17:33I can see your face
00:17:36Mellow is the month of May
00:17:39Oh darling
00:17:41I can stand it
00:17:43When you look at me
00:17:46That way
00:17:47I feel the Earth move
00:17:50Under my feet
00:17:52I feel the skies
00:17:53I'm gonna die
00:17:55I feel the sky
00:18:11Tumbling down
00:18:11I feel the sky
00:18:21Tumbling down
00:18:24Tumbling down, down, tumbling down, yeah, tumbling down.
00:18:44Oh!
00:18:46Jeez.
00:18:48That was excellent.
00:18:50Great vocal. You know yourself, you know how you want to look, and how you look great.
00:18:56Great song choice. Very well executed.
00:18:59I can't fault anything. I think it's very good. Very good.
00:19:02I'm going to say yes.
00:19:05You're welcome.
00:19:05But you need to.
00:19:10You've got a great accompanist there.
00:19:12And you kind of fell behind him a couple of times.
00:19:16And you fell ahead of him a couple of times.
00:19:19Okay.
00:19:20You know, look, it's corny to say,
00:19:24singers, we have to learn to listen.
00:19:29Because that's respect between the musician and yourself.
00:19:31And I think you're that clever and that open
00:19:36that you'll listen to what's being said to you.
00:19:38And I think you've got a fine, fine voice.
00:19:42You should be very proud of the audition you just did.
00:19:44I mean, very proud of it.
00:19:47It's a yes from me.
00:19:49Thank you, Masha.
00:19:50I appreciate it.
00:19:50I really love that arrangement.
00:19:52I think you know music.
00:19:54I love music.
00:19:54You know what you're doing.
00:19:56I grew up with this music.
00:19:57Yeah.
00:19:57This is me.
00:19:58I can tell.
00:19:59You're just so chill.
00:20:01But, I mean, you're kind of exactly what I feel like we're looking for.
00:20:08Wow.
00:20:09Oh, it's a yes from me.
00:20:11Thank you so much.
00:20:12That is three yeses.
00:20:14Thank you so much, Kyle.
00:20:15Well done.
00:20:15Next time we see you, we'll either be handing you a golden ticket
00:20:18or not handing you a golden ticket.
00:20:20But three yeses, pretty good.
00:20:22No drama.
00:20:23I appreciate it.
00:20:24That was awesome.
00:20:25Well done.
00:20:27Thank you so much.
00:20:30Oh, my God.
00:20:33Jamie Lamont.
00:20:34Okay, I need to eat.
00:20:35Oh.
00:20:36I've never heard you say that.
00:20:38I think your work here 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 the few remaining
00:20:48golden tickets.
00:20:49Hello, ladies.
00:20:51Hello.
00:20:52Hi.
00:20:53We're just going, hey, you want a little of this, you want a little, want a little of this.
00:20:57Amazing.
00:20:58We're obsessed.
00:20:59Oh, that's so nice.
00:21:01Who's auditioning?
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 I Want to Dance to Somebody by Whitney Houston.
00:21:15Amazing song.
00:21:16Do you do lots of gigs?
00:21:18Not 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, just pretending that I was a pop star.
00:21:33That's how it started, and then I just kept going because people seemed to like the Broom videos.
00:21:38Definitely loved music my whole life.
00:21:40Like, I think I came out of the room singing.
00:21:43Now, I just want to make music that connects with people.
00:21:45Like, whether it's one person that feels so seen and heard, that's the goal.
00:21:51Dock Show!
00:21:54Hello.
00:21:56Hi, guys.
00:21:57Hi.
00:21:58Hi.
00:21:59Who do we have here?
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.
00:22:08On TikTok, I have a little thing called the Broom World Tour.
00:22:12Oh, my God.
00:22:13I've seen you on TikTok.
00:22:15Have you?
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, but what about in
00:22:28real 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?
00:22:47Well, I'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.
00:23:02Oh, my gosh.
00:23:03No pressure.
00:23:04Let's do that.
00:23:04Let's do it.
00:23:05Okay.
00:23:05Oh, great.
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.
00:23:16Nice 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.
00:23:21Yeah, yours is so nice.
00:23:23Ah, blah.
00:23:23Oh, I like your hair.
00:23:24No one says anything about my hair.
00:23:30Hello, everyone.
00:23:31Hello.
00:23:34Oh, excuse me.
00:23:35I'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 on TikTok.
00:23:46And 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, and I want to see your reaction to
00:24:04see if she actually has got what it takes to get through.
00:24:11All right, well, I know you don't have a broom, but it's a very expensive microphone.
00:24:15Um, so, 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.
00:24:23All right, 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 all right up till now.
00:24:51It's the light of day that shows me how.
00:24:56So, when the night falls, my loneliness calls.
00:25:02Let's go.
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.
00:25:12I want to dance with somebody.
00:25:14Hey.
00:25:15With somebody who loves me.
00:25:20Oh, I want to feel the heat with somebody.
00:25:23Oh.
00:25:23To hold me in his arms, having a man to take the chance on a life that burns hard enough
00:25:33to last.
00:25:34So, when the night falls, my lonely heart calls.
00:25:41Oh, I want to dance with somebody.
00:25:45Oh, I want to feel the heat with somebody.
00:25:49Yeah, I want to dance with somebody.
00:25:54With somebody who loves me.
00:25:58Yeah.
00:26:00Thanks, guys.
00:26:08So, Natalie, how did that feel?
00:26:10That felt so fun.
00:26:11In front of people, you owned it.
00:26:13You got them involved.
00:26:15You're a pro.
00:26:16Yeah.
00:26:16It was actually harder because this is what they call in the round.
00:26:19So, you worked everyone.
00:26:21You didn't even just have the one sort of stage here.
00:26:24You kind of worked the whole crowd.
00:26:26What are we thinking, guys?
00:26:27Are we like...
00:26:30Yes!
00:26:31Okay.
00:26:33Well, that's a yes from me, then.
00:26:35You got the first yes.
00:26:39It's a yes from me.
00:26:40Straight up.
00:26:43What do you think, Marsha?
00:26:45It's a yeah from me.
00:26:46Yes!
00:26:49Well done.
00:26:50Yes!
00:26:50I was feeling it.
00:26:52Well 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.
00:27:11I 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.
00:27:19Yeah.
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.
00:27:34Oh!
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.
00:27:49That's what I'm looking for.
00:28:02It's the final day of auditions, and 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 are y'all doing?
00:28:15Hey, how are you?
00:28:16So there are three songs that we hear more than any others.
00:28:20Oh!
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.
00:28:28Oh, you can dance.
00:28:30You can die.
00:28:32Having the time of your life.
00:28:36Ooh, see that girl.
00:28:39Watch her sing.
00:28:42Dig in the Dancing Queen.
00:28:45Okay, I stand corrected.
00:28:47I cannot like a version of that song.
00:28:50Bye.
00:28:51Bye.
00:28:52Next, the song Hallelujah.
00:28:55I 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, the fourth, the fifth.
00:29:06The minor fall and the major lift.
00:29:09The bifled king composing Hallelujah.
00:29:15Hallelujah.
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 there?
00:29:39Valerie.
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.
00:30:00And 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.
00:30:09And over.
00:30:10We're over it.
00:30:12Unless 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.
00:30:23Surprise us, yeah?
00:30:33Well, sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water and I think of all the things.
00:30:44What you're doing.
00:30:46And in my head, I paint a picture.
00:30:51Cause since I've come home, well, my body's been a mess.
00:30:56And I miss your gender and the way you like to dress.
00:31:01Why won't you come on over?
00:31:03Why won't you come on over?
00:31:04Stop making a fool out of me.
00:31:07Why won't you come on over?
00:31:10I know I love you.
00:31:14Valerie.
00:31:17Hey, hey.
00:31:19I was thinking about the days you were going to roll with me.
00:31:21Back when everything was a joke with me we stay up and talk to the song will rise now
00:31:26It's just memory stuck on rewind where you at now feels like you're ghosted have me caught up
00:31:31Now the truth unloading now I see the cause that your hands been holding all the little lies in the
00:31:36cracks are showing
00:31:37Since you've been away, boy my world's been such a mess
00:31:41Oh my gosh, she's remixing it now
00:31:43And the way you rock, that'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 back to me
00:31:59Valerie
00:32:04Valerie
00:32:08Valerie
00:32:09Valerie
00:32:10Why won't you come on over
00:32:13Valerie
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, yes
00:32:28Cool
00:32:28Yeah, that's a, yeah, I wrote that, yeah

00:38:18I'm gonna give you the big yes

00:38:21I'd love to see you progress in this contest
00:38:23Thank you
00:38:24Yeah, wow
00:38:27I feel like you really crushed that towards the end
00:38:30That was just like
00:38:31You have such a cool voice
00:38:33You've got extreme control of everything
00:38:37Thank you
00:38:37The only thing that I am nervous about
00:38:41Is, um, you're such a free spirit
00:38:45Bo, are you good with rules and regulations?
00:38:49Very good
00:38:50I have to ask that
00:38:51Yeah, but he's viking like me
00:38:53And yeah, we don't
00:38:54Don't always do rules
00:38:55How is that like
00:38:56Yeah
00:38:56Is that something that
00:38:57Cause there are many
00:38:58You know
00:38:59Would you be cool with that?
00:39:01Yeah
00:39:01If that means I have to relocate
00:39:03Yeah
00:39:04It would mean a lot of things
00:39:05Not relocate
00:39:06Turn up on time
00:39:07Turn up on time
00:39:08It's more commitment
00:39:08Yeah
00:39:09I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here
00:39:11What I saw is a young man
00:39:13Who beats to his own drum
00:39:16No one's questioning that
00:39:19Like
00:39:20Don't worry about his
00:39:21Don't worry about the times
00:39:22And if he mucks up with that
00:39:25That's on him
00:39:25But our job here
00:39:27Is he good enough to go forward?
00:39:29I say
00:39:29Yep
00:39:30Here he is
00:39:30I don't care if he's late to make up
00:39:32I think I'm late to make up every single day
00:39:34You are
00:39:35As long as you can
00:39:36But I don't have that much to do
00:39:37You know
00:39:37Are you speaking of yourself?
00:39:39I was thinking of myself
00:39:40Yeah
00:39:43Sorry
00:39:43You can only polish a turd so much master
00:39:45You know
00:39:45But you can roll it in glitter
00:39:46Hey listen man
00:39:48There's just something really compelling about you
00:39:51And I really like it

00:39:54Thank you
00:39:55Look

00:39:57But it is such a different life

00:43:28CJ Wrangling!
00:43:30Wow!
00:43:31Ooh!
00:43:32TJ, I have never seen that kind of microphone technique
00:43:36Where you keep the microphone here
00:43:38Like one finger away
00:43:40Like a finger away, but the finger has to stay there for some reason
00:43:42Yeah!
00:43:43Sometimes when I move around too much
00:43:46I want to make sure you guys can hear me
00:43:48Mate, very good
00:43:48Well, we did, we did
00:43:49Thank you
00:43:50Man, that was so entertaining
00:43:52You came in here like a rocket
00:43:55And I love that
00:43:56But
00:43:58I could definitely hear you being out of breath
00:44:00Which
00:44:01Kind of says to me that you don't do it too often
00:44:04If you're going to move around like that
00:44:06You gotta get fit
00:44:07Yes, yes
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
00:44:14And 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

00:44:27I will hundred percent
00:44:29Thousand percent
00:44:30Ten thousand percent
00:44:33It's maybe, you know, it may not be everyone's cup of tea
00:44:35But I like all different styles to be represented
00:44:39A ten thousand billion percent promise
00:44:42Like, I would love to see that come to fruition
00:44:45So I'll give you a yes

00:49:50a different vibe
00:49:52You're giving me princess, and then the other part of it just didn't belong
00:49:57so
00:49:59No for me
00:50:01Well, I'm gonna give you a yes because that could be a worldwide act to a niche audience
00:50:06But you need at least two yeses
00:50:10Um
00:50:11Vera I really enjoyed that yeah, but I don't know if Idol is your path
00:50:17so unfortunately, it's a no from me I
00:50:20Appreciate everything you did for us there, and I thank you for the audition, but
00:50:25My vote is it's a no no worries. Thanks. Thanks. Thank you Vera. Thank you very much

00:52:54Yes.
00:52:55Wow.
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.
00:54:13Anastasia.
00:54:14He better be good.
00:54:17Hello, hello.
00:54:40Who do we have here?
00:54:46My name's Lachie.
00:54:47I'm 20, and I'm from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
00:54:51Lachie.
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, and 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, wow.
00:55:29That was a big choreographer.
00:55:30You can dance, then.
00:55:30Yeah.
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
00:55:40singing.
00:55:41I 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, you know, if you have that
00:55:51gift 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.
00:56:00You are not?
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, you weren't picturing
00:56:16Anastasia to actually be sitting here.
00:56:18No.
00:56:18Judging.
00:56:19It is a hard song to sing, so.
00:56:21Yes.
00:56:22It is.
00:56:22I'm sorry for you.
00:56:24Whenever you're ready, buddy, good luck.
00:56:42Now, baby, come on.
00:56:46Don't claim that love.
00:56:48You never let me feel.
00:56:52I should have known.
00:56:55Yeah.
00:56:56Because you brought nothing real.
00:56:59Come on, be a man about it.
00:57:02You won't die.
00:57:04I ain't got no more tears to cry.
00:57:08I can't take this no more.
00:57:13No, I gotta let it go.
00:57:16And you know, I'm out of love.
00:57:20You set me free.
00:57:22Let me out this misery.
00:57:26Oh, my God.
00:57:27That's actually given me goosebumps.
00:57:29To get my life again.
00:57:31Cause you can't handle me.
00:57:35Said I'm out of love.
00:57:37Can't you see?
00:57:38Sounds right.
00:57:39Baby, you gotta set me free.
00:57:43I'm out of love.
00:57:44Let me get over you.
00:57:49The way you've gotten over me too.
00:57:53Feels like my time has come.
00:57:56And I'll be moving on.
00:58:00I'll be stronger.
00:58:03I'm out of love.
00:58:05Set me free.
00:58:07Let me out this misery.
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.
00:58:22Can't you see?
00:58:23Baby, you 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.
00:58:42I am absolutely shocked.
00:58:45I 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.
00:58:54And everything, your falsetto to, like, you're really good.
00:58:59Like, the feeling that comes out of you is a whole different, the 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.
00:59:10Woo!
00:59:10That was, you know.
00:59:11Wow.
00:59:11What can I say?
00:59:13Boyfriend, you can sing.
00:59:15Thank you so much.
00:59:16I 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.
00:59:23Like, you've been doing this forever.
00:59:25Yeah.
00:59:25Like, 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.
00:59:33Straight on the radio tomorrow.
00:59:34That'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.
00:59:40There you go.
00:59:40Four yeses.
00:59:41Easy as that.
00:59:42We'll see you, De Savo, where we hand out the golden ticket.
00:59:46Hopefully, you get one, but, uh...
00:59:47Oh, I think, I think we should just do this.
00:59:49Get over here.
00:59:50Get over here.
00:59:50What?
00:59:50Now, we're doing...
00:59:51This has not happened.
00:59:53Come here.
00:59:54Oh, oh.
00:59:54This is, this is because you didn't even need to sing the rest of the song.
00:59:58You just needed, like, one line in.
01:00:01I was ready to throw them all over you.
01:00:01She does what she wants.
01:00:03We don't hand those out, uh, at this stage, but...
01:00:07Like, four yeses.
01:00:08Come on, man.
01:00:09I think it's just a given.
01:00:10That's right.
01:00:11Yeah.
01:00:11Yeah, definitely.
01:00:13That's crazy.
01:00:15Don't tell the others, for God's sake.
01:00:16Just put it in your pocket.
01:00:17Put it in your pocket.
01:00:18You've got a golden ticket, and, uh, you're done here.
01:00:20Go and celebrate.
01:00:21Yes.
01:00:22Later.
01:00:23Thanks, guys.
01:00:24Yes.
01:00:25Bye.
01:00:26Nice work, Lucky.
01:00:34What happened?
01:00:36I got a golden ticket!
01:00:38Yeah!
01:00:40Yeah!
01:00:42Yeah!
01:00:43Yeah!
01:00:43Yeah!
01:00:43Yeah!
01:00:43Yeah!
01:00:44Yeah!
01:00:44Yeah!
01:00:44Yeah!
01:00:45Yeah!
01:00:48Lucky, Lucky, locked it in.
01:00:50Oh, my God.
01:00:50That was amazing.
01:00:51All right, you guys are so having a good time this year.
01:00:54Yes, we are.
01:00:55You're gonna have to come back.
01:00:55Some...
01:00:56Oh, I'd love to!
01:00:58And then there were three...
01:01:02...golden tickets.
01:01:04Lucky, I think you should tell Natalie what happened.
01:01:08...who will get a golden ticket into your top 30.
01:01:17After seven days and hundreds of contestants,
01:01:22Idol auditions are over,
01:01:24and with only three precious golden tickets remaining...
01:01:28It's gonna come down to the wire.
01:01:35Last day of auditions, there's quite a few good ones.
01:01:38Yeah.
01:01:38There are.
01:01:40They're both very good.
01:01:41She was great.
01:01:42She just nailed it.
01:01:44I always thought there was something cool about this guy.
01:01:46Yeah.
01:01:47I know, but they can't be overlooked, really.
01:01:49They are all so different and so unique.
01:01:53Who knows how this is gonna play out.
01:01:55We ready to do this?
01:01:57Here are the winners.
01:01:58All right, bring them in.
01:01:59They're cool.
01:02:00First up to face the judges are...
01:02:03TikTok broom singer Natalie...
01:02:05..and Melbourne dancer Lachie...
01:02:08..who has already been given a golden ticket.
01:02:15Hi.
01:02:16Oh, welcome.
01:02:16Hi, guys.
01:02:17Hello.
01:02:19Natalie, you didn't perform just for the last three judges.
01:02:22We took you outside to the waiting room...
01:02:24Yeah, put you on the spot.
01:02:24..and made you audition in front of everyone.
01:02:27And Lachie, our backup dancer turned singer,
01:02:30you were quite surprised when you walked in to sing an Anastasia song
01:02:33and Anastasia was sitting here.
01:02:35Yes, didn't expect that at all, no.
01:02:38Lachie, I think you should tell Natalie what happened.
01:02:48Well...
01:02:49I actually got given a golden ticket.
01:03:14It's such a drag because there is only a very limited amount of tickets.
01:03:19Yeah, we just want you to know how much we appreciate you going for it.
01:03:23Yeah.
01:03:24Because it was a really tough audition.
01:03:26No, totally.
01:03:27Thank you guys so much for having me and letting me do what I love doing.
01:03:31I really appreciate it.
01:03:32I had so much fun, genuinely.
01:03:35I don't know why you're talking in the past tense.
01:03:39Because you're also getting a golden ticket.
01:03:42You're going through to the next round.
01:03:44Congratulations.
01:03:45Oh, my gosh.
01:03:47This is too much anxiety for me.
01:03:49I literally felt like I was going to cry.
01:03:50Well done, babe.
01:03:51Oh, my gosh.
01:03:52I'm really excited for you.
01:03:53I feel like I was going to walk out and just be like,
01:03:56it's OK, chin up.
01:03:56You know, life goes on.
01:03:57You know, that's the way.
01:03:58That's a really good attitude.
01:03:59We couldn't let you walk out this door.
01:04:01You did a fantastic job.
01:04:03You nailed it in front of those hundreds of contestants.
01:04:06Well earned.
01:04:07See you later.
01:04:09Go and celebrate.
01:04:10Wow, what a sweetie.
01:04:14Oh, my God.
01:04:17Yes, she did.
01:04:19She got the golden ticket.
01:04:22I literally thought I didn't get it.
01:04:24I got my golden ticket.
01:04:27I'm sorry.
01:04:28I'm so happy.
01:04:28They were so nice.
01:04:29Give me a hug.
01:04:30Oh, gorgeous.
01:04:30When they said Lachie had the ticket,
01:04:32I just thought I wasn't going to get it.
01:04:34And then when they whipped it out,
01:04:35I was genuinely like, what is going on?
01:04:38Really excited to show Australia what I can do.
01:04:40What are you going to do to celebrate?
01:04:42I don't know.
01:04:43What should we do?
01:04:43Take some shots.
01:04:45Well, I'm too old for that.
01:04:46Do you want to join us?
01:04:47I'm too old for that.
01:04:47Here you go.
01:04:48Let's go.
01:04:48Bye, bye, bye.
01:04:49Bye.
01:04:52Next up are two performers who surprise the judges.
01:04:57But did they do enough to get one of the two remaining golden tickets?
01:05:03Oh, hi.
01:05:04What a vibe.
01:05:05Hi, guys.
01:05:06It actually feels like I'm at a concert already with these two.
01:05:09So we've got Kalia.
01:05:10Yes.
01:05:11Huh?
01:05:11Western Sydney makeup artist.
01:05:14Yes.
01:05:15Honey represent.
01:05:16Yes.
01:05:16And we've got DJ Ringling.
01:05:19You both need to know you're very exciting artists,
01:05:22and it's great that you've come to represent.
01:05:26Two rappers that put different spins on it in your own way.
01:05:31But one of you, we feel like, really made their audition their own.
01:05:38The person that's going to receive the golden ticket will be...
01:05:47Kalia.
01:05:48Oh, thank you.
01:05:50Oh, my God.
01:05:51Thank you, DJ Ringling.
01:05:52Bro, thanks.
01:05:52Come back next year, all right?
01:05:54Keep cranking, OK, my friend?
01:05:59Thank you so much.
01:06:00How you feel?
01:06:01I feel amazing.
01:06:02I feel so proud.
01:06:04Thank you guys so much.
01:06:05You're more than welcome.
01:06:06Thanks, Kalia.
01:06:06See you later.
01:06:07Good luck in the concert, though.
01:06:09Bye-bye.
01:06:09Loving those braids, honey.
01:06:10Loving those braids.
01:06:11Yes, girl.
01:06:12Work it.
01:06:20Oh, my God.
01:06:26Don't cry.
01:06:28Don't cry.
01:06:30You could cry.
01:06:32Congratulations.
01:06:34Welcome to the Top 30.
01:06:36Woo!
01:06:40We're down to our final golden ticket.
01:06:44Will it be that 70s chick, Jamie,
01:06:47Geelong rocker, Josh,
01:06:49or our musical Viking, Bo?
01:06:53Bo and Josh are incredible.
01:06:57They're definitely competition, for sure.
01:07:00Yeah, I could definitely get cut right now, you know?
01:07:03Everyone is extremely talented.
01:07:05They're just...
01:07:06They're stacked with...
01:07:07They're oozing with talent.
01:07:09And...
01:07:12It's emotional, because I want to be that kind of bum.
01:07:15It's exciting at the same time,
01:07:16but it's also a bit daunting, too.
01:07:18The golden ticket could change my life.
01:07:28Wow.
01:07:30Hey.
01:07:31What a line-up.
01:07:32It's quite the trio.
01:07:34Woo!
01:07:34It's an extremely tough decision this year.
01:07:40We've got some really strong contestants,
01:07:45and it's never easy at this stage.
01:07:51There is only one golden ticket left.
01:07:55The last entry into our top 30.
01:08:00Three whopping voices, completely different.
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:05But the ticket is going to go to someone
01:08:08who we feel is really ready
01:08:11to take this step in their career.
01:08:14So the person going through to the top 30
01:08:20and getting this last golden ticket
01:08:27is going to be...
01:08:34Jamie.
01:08:35Jamie.
01:08:39Oh, my God.
01:08:40Thank you, boys.
01:08:41Thank you so much, Josh and Beau.
01:08:44Thank you so much.
01:08:45Good luck with everything.
01:08:47Hey.
01:08:49Looks like you got through there, hey?
01:08:50The 70s chick.
01:08:51The 70s chick is in, baby.
01:08:53That's gnarly, dude.
01:08:55Come and get your golden ticket.
01:08:56Oh, my gosh.
01:08:57I'm going to cry.
01:08:59I don't think I was going to cry,
01:09:01but this is just very happy tears.
01:09:03Thanks so much to me.
01:09:05Oh, Jamie.
01:09:06That is yours, ma'am.
01:09:07Congratulations.
01:09:08Thank you so much.
01:09:08Well done.
01:09:09We're very happy for you, chick.
01:09:10Yeah, so happy for you.
01:09:11We're very happy.
01:09:11Go and celebrate, and good luck.
01:09:13Well deserved.
01:09:13Thank you so much.
01:09:15Oh, my God.
01:09:16Well done.
01:09:18Wow.
01:09:19Oh, my God.
01:09:20I didn't think I was going to cry.
01:09:22Here she comes.
01:09:24She got it.
01:09:25Yes!
01:09:29Oh, my God.
01:09:29I'm going to let it cry.
01:09:30I cried in there.
01:09:31Oh, did you?
01:09:33I'm going to cry.
01:09:35I didn't want to cry.
01:09:35She wanted it.
01:09:37I wanted it so bad.
