00:00:02You've got supernatural power
00:00:06Yeah, you're supernatural
00:00:08Good morning, waking up around the country on Kiss Event.
00:00:11Good morning, Melbourne.
00:00:12Hi, Sydney.
00:00:13This is the Kyle and Jackie O Show.
00:00:15We've got just two days left of Australian Idol auditions.
00:00:18We have scoured the country to uncover the very best of the best.
00:00:22Let me tell you, we've already found really good ones this year.
00:00:24Superb.
00:00:25We've already handed out a stack of golden tickets.
00:00:30And if you're driving under the Sydney Harbour Bridge this morning,
00:00:33give Amy's shark away.
00:00:34Have a little look up.
00:00:35She's up there about to take auditions to the next level,
00:00:39and I mean literally.
00:00:43Oh.
00:00:48Just don't look too close.
00:00:50She's probably clinging to the railing like it's a lifeboat.
00:00:59Heights and Amy's shark, yeah, they're not the best of mates.
00:01:05Is it moving for anyone else or just me?
00:01:08Feels like it's moving.
00:01:12Today I'm not just raising the bar,
00:01:14I'm raising the stage to be the highest audition ever.
00:01:19Forget the audition room.
00:01:20This is the new audition room with a view.
00:01:23Are you straining to break from the chain?
00:01:28So I've had the Idol team source two singers from the line.
00:01:33Do you know where you're going?
00:01:34Nope.
00:01:35I have no idea where I'm going.
00:01:39There is Lydia.
00:01:42Hi, I'm Lydia.
00:01:44I am 24 years old, and I am from the Northern Beaches.
00:01:48I'm chaotic, bubbly, and I'd say fun.
00:01:53I think so.
00:01:55She's got wild red hair,
00:01:57and she looks like she's already got that superstar look.
00:02:00I've just loved to perform.
00:02:01I love to be on stage.
00:02:03And then there's Jamie,
00:02:04who works in retail in the southwest of Sydney.
00:02:07He is an aspiring model,
00:02:09and I'm just hoping he has the vocals to match the look.
00:02:12I'm willing to do whatever it takes
00:02:14to impress the judges in this competition, trust me.
00:02:19So, like, yeah, bring it on.
00:02:24Why am I kind of nervous to click play?
00:02:28Hello.
00:02:29I know you thought you were going to be singing at Idol HQ,
00:02:32but I have something way more exciting planned.
00:02:37You'll be auditioning for me
00:02:39at the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
00:02:46What?
00:02:48I will see you very soon.
00:02:50What?
00:02:55Like, on the top, top, top.
00:02:57That's insane.
00:02:59I've always said I wanted to do the Harbour Bridge walk.
00:03:02Didn't expect it to be like this.
00:03:06In just a few moments,
00:03:07they're going to audition for me
00:03:09and the entire city
00:03:11right here on the bridge.
00:03:15The view is gnarly.
00:03:18The view is gnarly.
00:03:23It's insane.
00:03:24It's really actually insane.
00:03:26But, um,
00:03:28we're doing it.
00:03:32Oh, my God, that's so iconic.
00:03:34There's a kookaburra on the bridge.
00:03:37It's the most iconic day of everyone's lives.
00:03:41Oh, my God, that's insane, guys.
00:03:43Hey, buddy.
00:03:45Don't get that.
00:03:47Delete that.
00:04:01Oh, my God.
00:04:02Lydia, Jamie.
00:04:04Welcome to my office.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07Hey.
00:04:07Welcome to the most iconic stage.
00:04:10This is going to be
00:04:11your Australian Idol audition.
00:04:14That will go down in history, by the way.
00:04:17Basically, I wanted to see performances
00:04:19that were on the same level
00:04:21as this incredible stage.
00:04:24I can only take one of you through.
00:04:27All right.
00:04:28Well, maybe, Jamie.
00:04:29Okay.
00:04:30If you want to show me what you got.
00:04:31What are you going to sing?
00:04:33I'm singing Feeling Good.
00:04:34Okay.
00:04:35I'm feeling good.
00:04:36You feeling good?
00:04:36I'm feeling great.
00:04:37Awesome.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:39In your own time, Jamie.
00:05:04It's a new day.
00:05:08It's a new life for me.
00:05:15And I'm feeling good.
00:05:20It's a new dawn.
00:05:22It's a new day.
00:05:24It's a new life.

00:05:31And I'm feeling good.
00:05:41Wow.
00:05:42How do you feel?
00:05:43I feel great.
00:05:44Like, I kind of felt like
00:05:45I was in, like, the mood.
00:05:46It's actually pretty chill
00:05:47singing up here.
00:05:48I've got to say.
00:05:49Jamie.
00:05:50Like, it's kind of fun.
00:05:51You honestly couldn't have
00:05:52looked cooler just then.
00:05:53Oh, my God.
00:05:53Just watching you.
00:05:55And you've got so much charisma
00:05:56and a really beautiful voice.
00:05:58And I really love
00:05:59how much passion you put into that.
00:06:00That was really, really awesome.
00:06:02Thank you so much.
00:06:03Oh, good.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Lydia.
00:06:06Me.
00:06:06You're up.
00:06:07So I'm singing
00:06:08Born This Way.
00:06:08Okay, great.
00:06:09Amazing.
00:06:10Another good one.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:15My mama told me when I was young
00:06:18We were all born superstars
00:06:23She wore my hair
00:06:24I put my lipstick on
00:06:26In the glass of her boudoir
00:06:29Hey
00:06:31Nothing wrong with loving
00:06:33Who you are
00:06:34She said
00:06:34Cause I made you perfect, babe
00:06:38So hold your head up, girl
00:06:40And you'll go far
00:06:42Listen to me when I say
00:06:45I'm beautiful in my way
00:06:47Cause God makes no home mistakes
00:06:49I'm on the right track
00:06:51Baby, I was wrong this way
00:06:53Don't add yourself in regret
00:06:55Just love yourself in your set
00:06:57I'm on the right track
00:06:59Baby, I was born this way
00:07:01Ooh, there ain't no other way
00:07:03Baby, I was born this way
00:07:05Baby, I was born this way
00:07:08Born this way
00:07:09Ain't no other way
00:07:11Baby, I was on the right track
00:07:14Baby, I was born this way
00:07:16Yeah
00:07:17Woo!
00:07:18God damn
00:07:19Wow
00:07:20Oh my God, what a treat
00:07:23Singing Born This Way in general
00:07:25And then they're singing it right here
00:07:27Up this high
00:07:29Yeah, I feel like I was having like a Michael Jackson
00:07:31Yeah
00:07:31You as well
00:07:32Would not look any cooler right now
00:07:34Well done
00:07:36Even on the highest stage in Australia
00:07:39Both really showed up then
00:07:41Like, actually smashed it
00:07:43Which I don't think many people would
00:07:46This is a very tough decision
00:07:47Sometimes it's not
00:07:48And this is gonna be tough
00:07:50The thing is
00:07:52With yours, Jamie, right
00:07:53You've got
00:07:54All this charisma
00:07:55And so much talent
00:07:57And you really went for it
00:07:58And Lydia
00:08:00You're the same
00:08:01You just sort of jumped right into it
00:08:03No hesitation
00:08:03Heaps of confidence
00:08:05But there was one
00:08:07That I feel had
00:08:10I guess a stronger vocal
00:08:12And the person who I feel
00:08:17Showcased a stronger vocal performance
00:08:19In their audition
00:08:22And the person that I'm gonna
00:08:24Take back to Idol HQ
00:08:27For a chance for the golden ticket
00:08:38It's gonna be Lydia
00:08:41Well done
00:08:42I wanna hug you
00:08:44It's okay, it's okay
00:08:52I feel like I'm gonna cry
00:08:56I wasn't expecting that
00:08:58To happen
00:08:59I can't believe it
00:09:00I can't
00:09:02I
00:09:03I
00:09:05I know it's wild
00:09:07God damn
00:09:08Lydia, I will see you at Idol HQ
00:09:11Well done
00:09:12Thank you
00:09:13And how do I get off this thing?
00:09:15Get me out of here
00:09:18So far, this season on Australian Idol
00:09:21Wicked loves it
00:09:24You are an absolute superstar
00:09:26Your voice is a stunner
00:09:28I've never seen anything like that in my life
00:09:3121 exceptional performers have wowed the judges
00:09:35And earned a golden ticket
00:09:37So with only 9 spots in the top 30 remaining
00:09:41And the standards so incredibly high
00:09:44Today's Idol hopefuls must deliver
00:09:46Nothing less than a spectacular audition
00:09:59Oh my god
00:10:01Still on a high after her Harbour Bridge audition
00:10:04Lydia becomes the first singer through to the waiting room
00:10:07I was just on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge singing for Amy and now here I am
00:10:12She will have a nervous wait before the judges decide if she will get one of only 9 remaining golden
00:10:19tickets
00:10:19I would love it to have my name on it
00:10:21I can picture it
00:10:25Oh welcome back
00:10:26So sorry
00:10:27I had the best morning
00:10:30Is that right?
00:10:31I found some talent
00:10:33But I'll tell you about it later
00:10:34It's too much to say right now
00:10:37We've got a lot of people to see
00:10:38Better be good
00:10:39Can we have the next person in please?
00:10:42Next
00:10:42With Amy back safely on solid ground
00:10:46All is set for the first singer of the day
00:10:49Who has travelled from Brisbane for his shot at a golden ticket
00:11:00My name is Harlan, I am 18 years old and I live in Brisbane, Queensland
00:11:04Wait Ollie, you gonna play?
00:11:06No, I'm practicing
00:11:08I am the black sheep of the family
00:11:09I am the only one who does music
00:11:11They're all very involved in
00:11:13AFL, netball, rugby
00:11:14And I sing
00:11:15So I'm a little bit different
00:11:18Ever since I can remember I love singing
00:11:20My family told me that I could sing
00:11:22I would never have auditioned myself
00:11:24My mum actually submitted my video
00:11:27So proud of you, Carmel
00:11:28My mum and I are very close
00:11:30She's also one of my best friends

00:17:02With three yeses
00:17:04Harlan joins Lydia
00:17:06In the waiting room
00:17:07They now face a long wait
00:17:09To learn whether they'll claim
00:17:11One of the only nine golden tickets
00:17:14On offer
00:17:15Go inspect
00:17:16Can I touch it or no
00:17:17That's crazy
00:17:18Like you see it on TV
00:17:19And it's just like
00:17:20It's like right there
00:17:20Yeah
00:17:21I want nothing more
00:17:23In this present moment
00:17:27Coming up
00:17:28Which singer has the judges
00:17:30Under their complete control
00:17:34Don't leave me hanging like this bro
00:17:37Then a young hopeful
00:17:39There could be a time in my life
00:17:40Where I literally cannot sing
00:17:42With a secret reason
00:17:43For wanting a yes
00:17:45Will you make the best
00:17:47Of what you've got
00:17:48And give us
00:17:48And give us your best
00:17:50Alright
00:17:52And later
00:17:53What happens when the judges
00:17:55Even though I enjoyed it
00:17:57I'm going to say no
00:17:58What?
00:17:59Turn on themselves
00:18:02Can I change any of your minds
00:18:04Because I think she's really good
00:18:06Yeah no
00:18:06She's good
00:18:07But it's through the whole package
00:18:08Plus
00:18:09Who makes a shock return
00:18:12Wait a minute
00:18:13Why do I know you?
00:18:15Have you already auditioned?
00:18:16What are you doing back here?
00:18:17But will they get a second chance
00:18:20At idle glory?
00:18:22No
00:18:22You fluffed it
00:18:24That made me feel so uneasy
00:18:48I said in the lolly
00:18:51What?
00:18:54What?
00:18:55Oh mama
00:18:56Show me
00:18:57Oh

00:19:04No good
00:19:04Show me Masha
00:19:04Show me
00:19:05Now Masha's got a sticky ass
00:19:07That's it
00:19:08Masha's going to be pantsless
00:19:09From there for the afternoon
00:19:10These lollies all over my butt
00:19:13While Masha makes a call
00:19:15To her dry cleaner
00:19:16Our next singers
00:19:17Are hoping to give
00:19:19A spotless performance
00:19:23Our job is to search
00:19:25For the greatest seller

00:19:47Nothing to do with bottoms
00:19:48I take blood
00:19:50I'm a glorified vampire
00:19:51And their goal is to leave that job
00:19:54And become a full time musician
00:19:57Whoa
00:19:59And don't it feel good
00:20:03Now don't it feel good
00:20:07It kind of
00:20:08The wheels fell off
00:20:09A little bit
00:20:09Towards the end
00:20:10You know the saying
00:20:11Everyone's a winner
00:20:12Yes

00:20:42To do is a living
00:20:43I'm a primary school teacher
00:20:45From Melbourne
00:20:46So what sort of music
00:20:47Do you listen to
00:20:48I listen a lot of ballad songs
00:20:51Okay
00:20:51I grew up in a family
00:20:53Where we love karaoke
00:20:55You think I don't know that
00:20:56Right
00:20:58We love it so much
00:20:59We even have a karaoke machine
00:21:01At home
00:21:01Oh wow
00:21:02Now
00:21:03I remember a primary school teacher
00:21:05Yeah
00:21:06That would sing to us
00:21:08When we were unruly
00:21:09Do you use that
00:21:10As part of your teaching
00:21:11I actually use it
00:21:13As an ice breaker
00:21:14Fantastic idea
00:21:15Especially in the afternoon
00:21:17Where they get a little bit rowdy
00:21:18Sure
00:21:19Yep
00:21:19So I'm like

00:24:14Next please
00:24:17My name's Michaela
00:24:18I'm 20
00:24:19And I'm from Gisborne
00:24:20Rural Victoria
00:24:27I work in aged care as an entertainer
00:24:30I sing for the residents
00:24:32And I just try and get them up and dancing
00:24:34Get them engaged
00:24:35Get them singing
00:24:37I love my job
00:24:38Just move on
00:24:39I love hearing people's stories
00:24:41And seeing everyone just come to life
00:24:43And how happy they get
00:24:45Though you may be fine
00:24:47From time to time
00:24:48Michaela makes us all feel young again
00:24:50I'm struggling with her
00:24:52Maybe we can get the upper half dancing
00:24:57So good
00:24:58I love it
00:25:01Thank you everyone
00:25:04I hope that the judges take from my performance
00:25:07That old music lives on
00:25:15Oh hey
00:25:17Hello
00:25:17How are you?
00:25:18Hello
00:25:18I'm good how are you?
00:25:20We are well
00:25:20Thank you for coming
00:25:21What is your name
00:25:22And where are you from?
00:25:23I am Michaela
00:25:24And I'm from New Gisborne
00:25:26Victoria
00:25:26Great
00:25:27What are you going to sing?
00:25:28I'm singing Reach Out I'll Be There
00:25:29By The Four Tops
00:25:30Great
00:25:31No one's done that yet
00:25:32I sing it at aged care
00:25:34For work
00:25:35They love it
00:25:36Of course they do
00:25:37Yeah
00:25:37It's a good song
00:25:38Yeah
00:25:38And what brings you here today?
00:25:40Why Australian Idol?
00:25:43Well at the end of last year
00:25:44I found out I lost half of my hearing
00:25:46Oh wow
00:25:47Yeah so it's been pretty tough
00:25:49Hang on was that a slow decline
00:25:51We don't know
00:25:51Or it just happened overnight?
00:25:53We don't know
00:25:53I've had a few opinions say it's just happened
00:25:57So I've had these hearing aids
00:25:59Maybe six months now
00:26:00And I wear them every day
00:26:01They're part of my everyday life
00:26:03When I found out I lost my hearing
00:26:05I just bawled my eyes out
00:26:08I literally was like
00:26:10How am I going to sing?
00:26:11This is what I want to do with my life
00:26:12I'm so passionate about it
00:26:14What am I going to do?
00:26:15So this audition is really important to me
00:26:18Because they told me that I may lose more
00:26:22There could be a time in my life
00:26:24Where I literally cannot sing
00:26:25Because I can't hear myself
00:26:30Does it affect your singing or
00:26:33Yeah for sure
00:26:34So I've kind of gone not being able to hear the bass line
00:26:38So that's just completely gone
00:26:39Yeah and I've been sitting flat for like the past few years
00:26:43And the hearing loss can get worse
00:26:46So that's why I'm now
00:26:47Will you make the best of what you've got
00:26:49And give us your best
00:26:51Alright
00:27:07Now if you feel that you can't go on
00:27:11And all of your hope is gone
00:27:14And your life is still with much confusion
00:27:18And happiness is just an illusion
00:27:22Oh reach out
00:27:25Reach out for me
00:27:27Reach out for me
00:27:34And I'll be there
00:27:36With a love that will shelter you
00:27:41And I'll be there
00:27:45With a love that will see you through
00:27:50And I can tell the way you hang your head
00:28:02And I'll be there
00:28:21To cherish and care for you
00:28:26Thank you
00:28:27Wow
00:28:29Okay
00:28:30So when I hear that song
00:28:32I think of being about 10 or 12 in Boston, Massachusetts
00:28:34Because I grew up with the Four Tops, right?
00:28:37Yeah
00:28:37So I know that song
00:28:38Skipping in the street
00:28:39What do the oldies think when you go and play in the home
00:28:42They love it
00:28:44They get up dancing
00:28:45It triggers memories for some of them
00:28:47Like myself
00:28:48Music is
00:28:49It is a miracle
00:28:50In a lot of people's lives
00:28:52Yeah
00:28:52But now I'm going to give you some pointers
00:28:54You sang it very aggressively
00:28:56And it's not that
00:28:57That's not the song
00:28:59And you went for really big strong notes
00:29:01That's not the song
00:29:02It's a romantic song
00:29:03Yeah
00:29:04I'm listening to you sing
00:29:05And I'm trying to think of what it is you're hearing
00:29:08And I think because of your hearing
00:29:10That's why you sang it like that
00:29:12Yeah
00:29:12Am I correct?
00:29:13Yeah, possibly
00:29:14Yeah
00:29:14It's a no for me
00:29:15But it's a positive
00:29:16Yeah
00:29:16Okay, Michaela
00:29:17Even though I enjoyed it
00:29:19I'm also going to say no
00:29:21Because we're looking for the whole package
00:29:23What?
00:29:24Yeah, that's what I'm looking for
00:29:25Can I change any of your minds?
00:29:28Because I think she's really good
00:29:31She's good
00:29:31But is she the whole package?
00:29:33You entertaining Nana on her last days
00:29:35Might be wonderful
00:29:37But I'm looking for someone that can sell concerts
00:29:40Put songs on the radio
00:29:42Have a career
00:29:43Not really doing the nursing home circuit
00:29:45Even though I think that's beautiful
00:29:46That you do do that
00:29:47I applaud you for that
00:29:49Well, I don't usually do this, right?
00:29:52But there's something really special about you
00:29:56You know, Marsha is right
00:29:57But to me
00:29:59I think you're a bit of a diamond
00:30:01And I would really, really, really, really love
00:30:05To see her go through
00:30:07If I could
00:30:09I don't want to force it
00:30:11If you can't
00:30:11You leave
00:30:13Really?
00:30:13No
00:30:14Dad
00:30:15Dad
00:30:16Mum, Dad, please
00:30:18Um
00:30:20In all honesty
00:30:20I'm on the fence with you, right?
00:30:23I'm going to work on these guys
00:30:24We're going to see who comes through
00:30:26Yeah
00:30:27I know this is confusing for you
00:30:29I'm really sorry
00:30:30This doesn't happen often
00:30:31I'm just doing things my way at the minute
00:30:34I would wait all day
00:30:35Yes, you would
00:30:36I believe you would
00:30:37And I will work
00:30:37I promise
00:30:41Well, I'm changing mine to a yes then
00:30:42You get one yes from me
00:30:44Because of the dedication
00:30:46Hang on
00:30:47Because you were willing to wait all day
00:30:49Yeah
00:30:50Because you may, at some stage, lose your hearing
00:30:55Who am I to not give you the opportunity to get through?
00:30:59The miracle has happened in front of our eyes
00:31:01That I've had my mind changed
00:31:04We did it
00:31:05We did it
00:31:06Thank you
00:31:07Thank you
00:31:07So we're going to see you later on today
00:31:09We got through this part
00:31:11Mm-hmm
00:31:11We got through this part
00:31:12Thank you
00:31:12We did it
00:31:13We did it
00:31:14And thank you
00:31:15See ya
00:31:15Bye
00:31:15Bye
00:31:16Alright, see you later
00:31:17By the way, you're probably not wrong
00:31:19Like, I was a bit on the fence
00:31:20And I was just like
00:31:21Did she set my world on fire?
00:31:23No, but can she sing yes?
00:31:25Yeah, that's all I'm hearing right now
00:31:26That Olivia Dainey kind of like
00:31:28It's like
00:31:28Well, you know what I'm looking for?
00:31:30Popular people
00:31:31Yeah, but if she puts a little pop spin on it
00:31:33She might get there
00:31:34See?
00:31:35Hey
00:31:35Won you over
00:31:36She's coming back
00:31:38Got mum and dad back on my side
00:31:40God, we're going to kill this child
00:31:42Alright
00:31:42Let's strangle her to death in the air break
00:31:44Okay
00:31:45Next, please
00:31:46Coming up
00:31:47Who have you brought with you?
00:31:49My two best friends
00:31:49Dawn and Dakota
00:31:50Oh, double D's
00:31:53She can handle the big rigs
00:31:56I drive trucks and graters
00:31:58But will she stall
00:32:00The moment she hits the mic
00:32:04Oh no, you're going to kill me
00:32:08And later
00:32:09This won't be easy
00:32:10We don't have golden tickets for everyone
00:32:12No
00:32:12With only nine golden tickets remaining
00:32:16The competition has never been tougher
00:32:19This is more nerve-wracking than climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge
00:32:22You can be the most talented person in the room
00:32:23But if someone is working harder than you
00:32:25They will beat you
00:32:41It might seem like a waste of money to you guys
00:32:43But I've just had one of those big home gyms installed
00:32:45You know, where it takes up the entire room
00:32:47With all of the cables
00:32:48You should start with just like one minute a day even
00:32:50One minute being there
00:32:52And I'll put the lolly fridge down in that room
00:32:54So I've got to walk past it
00:32:59Next, please
00:33:02Just here to crash the party
00:33:03I see you guys chucking on the way
00:33:05Having a good time
00:33:06Who have we got?
00:33:07Who's singing today?
00:33:08Me, Rochelle
00:33:09Rochelle?
00:33:09Yeah, Rochelle
00:33:10Scott, nice to meet you
00:33:10Nice to meet you
00:33:11Who have you brought with you?
00:33:12My two best friends
00:33:13Dawn and Dakota
00:33:14Dawn and Dakota
00:33:15Oh, double D's
00:33:20You guys aren't from around here, aren't you?
00:33:22Where are you from?
00:33:24Longreach
00:33:25Longreach
00:33:25I already love you guys
00:33:27I'm Michelle
00:33:28I'm 23
00:33:29And I'm from Longreach, Queensland
00:33:35I work in the mining industry
00:33:38I'm a truck driver
00:33:40It's a big job
00:33:43Up when there's no sun
00:33:44And going home when there's no sun
00:33:48It's definitely not for the weak-hearted
00:33:515-5-5, probably near 4-13
00:33:52Yeah, got you, Rochelle
00:33:53I spend my days driving a truck
00:33:56Or driving a grave
00:33:59I do love it
00:34:01I'm a cold
00:34:02It's great
00:34:03Like we're all mates out there
00:34:04Sing it, Hobbsy
00:34:05Sing it, Timmy
00:34:06Sing it
00:34:07I got into music
00:34:08Because of my nana
00:34:10My nana was very encouraging
00:34:12With my music
00:34:14And she gave me my first guitar
00:34:15When I was a teenager
00:34:16She'd be like,
00:34:18Rochelle, bring it over
00:34:19And we'd sit at the dinner table
00:34:21I'd just sit there, play songs
00:34:23She's like, play this one
00:34:24Then play this one
00:34:25And she'd give me all these songs
00:34:26Like, okay, I'll try
00:34:28I don't really think
00:34:29I would have had a singing voice
00:34:30Like, it's kind of shaped me
00:34:32Into what I do today
00:34:34And what does the song mean to you?
00:34:36It means a lot
00:34:38Yeah, there's a lot that's happened in my life
00:34:40Yeah
00:34:41But I feel like this song
00:34:43Can kind of showcase through the emotions
00:34:46Well, I hope you can sing the hell out of it
00:34:48Thank you
00:34:49Most importantly
00:34:50Yeah
00:34:50Yeah?
00:34:51Yeah
00:34:54Here we go, guys
00:35:01Hi
00:35:02Hi, how are you?
00:35:04Good, how are you?
00:35:05Good, thank you
00:35:06That's good
00:35:06Hello, what's your name?
00:35:08Rochelle
00:35:09Rochelle?
00:35:10Yeah, Rochelle
00:35:11Thanks for coming
00:35:11Where are you from, Rochelle?
00:35:13From Longreach
00:35:14Longreach?
00:35:15Yeah
00:35:16Man, that's in the middle of nowhere
00:35:18Yeah
00:35:18What are you, you born and bred in Longreach?
00:35:21Yeah, growing up there my whole life
00:35:22What do you do for a living in Longreach?
00:35:24So I drive trucks and graters
00:35:27Sick
00:35:28Yeah
00:35:28The big monster things
00:35:29Like 300 tonne
00:35:31Wow
00:35:32That's very big
00:35:33That's very big
00:35:33That's really impressive
00:35:34That's cool
00:35:35So, you're singing in between all this heavy, heavy work
00:35:40Yeah
00:35:40I am
00:35:40What type of artist are you?
00:35:42Country
00:35:42Great
00:35:43Yeah, I love country music
00:35:45That's what I've grown up on
00:35:46And who got you into music in the first place?
00:35:48Where's your inspiration from?
00:35:50So, I really wouldn't have started singing
00:35:51If it wasn't for my nana
00:35:53Who used to take me to all my, like, little country music festivals
00:35:56Oh, bless
00:35:57Oh, good on her
00:36:02Are you okay?
00:36:03Sorry, can I have a minute?
00:36:04Yeah, that's alright
00:36:05Oh, sorry, hon
00:36:06Is nana still with us?
00:36:08No
00:36:08Oh, sorry
00:36:09Mine neither
00:36:11Marshall, bring some tissues out
00:36:14Thank you
00:36:14You're welcome
00:36:16I just had my year anniversary from mine then
00:36:19Not that long ago
00:36:20And it's weird what happens, hey
00:36:22It does, yeah
00:36:23It's just like
00:36:24Man, it's been a year
00:36:25Why around this time does it just
00:36:27It's like they remind you
00:36:28Yeah
00:36:28You know, the worst thing is
00:36:30When you think
00:36:31Oh, I'll ring it
00:36:32Oh
00:36:33That's the worst for me
00:36:34Yeah
00:36:34I still do this
00:36:35This is like seven years later
00:36:37Take your time, okay
00:36:38Thank you
00:36:39Oh, Rochelle
00:36:39I hope I haven't rocked you there
00:36:40I'm sorry
00:36:41No, I'll be fine
00:36:42Just put it together
00:36:43What are you going to sing?
00:36:45I'm going to sing
00:36:45Over the Rainbow
00:36:46Oh, no
00:36:47You're going to kill me
00:36:48Yeah
00:36:48My nana
00:36:49Love Over the Rainbow
00:36:50You know what?
00:36:51That was my mum's favourite song
00:36:53Jesus
00:36:53Do I have to watch?
00:36:55Because I'm going to be a mess
00:36:56This is
00:36:58Okay, Rochelle
00:36:58Good luck
00:37:04I'll just do it
00:37:06Okay
00:37:06Okay
00:37:15Somewhere
00:37:18Over the Rainbow
00:37:24Way up high
00:37:29There's a land that I heard of once
00:37:37In a lullaby
00:37:42Someday I'll wish upon a star
00:37:45And wake up where the clouds are far
00:37:49Behind me
00:37:55Oh, sun
00:37:59We're over the rainbow
00:38:05Bluebirds
00:38:06Fly
00:38:09Birds
00:38:10Fly
00:38:13Over the rainbow
00:38:16Why
00:38:17Oh, why can't
00:38:21I
00:38:30May me all teary
00:38:37How does it feel?
00:38:38How does it feel to do that?
00:38:40Um, a lot of emotions with it
00:38:42When you do sing something
00:38:44And it means something to you
00:38:46There's no way that emotion can take over
00:38:49And so I totally understand
00:38:51Why you sang the way you did
00:38:54But that was really lovely
00:38:56You know, Rochelle
00:38:56So you should feel really good about the audition
00:38:59Thank you
00:38:59I appreciate it very much
00:39:00Yeah
00:39:01That was beautiful
00:39:02You got through that so well
00:39:04Thank you
00:39:05I think you're a really exciting artist, Rochelle
00:39:09Thank you
00:39:12I'm just going to give you a yes
00:39:13Thank you
00:39:14Questions, nothing to say
00:39:17It's just a yes from me
00:39:18I thought it was great
00:39:19Thank you very much
00:39:20And it's a yes from me
00:39:21Congrats
00:39:22Thank you
00:39:23It's a yes from me
00:39:24Look at you there
00:39:25Three yeses
00:39:26We'll see you this afternoon
00:39:28Good luck on getting the golden ticket
00:39:30Thank you
00:39:30I think Nan would be pretty proud
00:39:32Yeah
00:39:33She'd be here today
00:39:34If she could
00:39:35Actually, before you go
00:39:37Come over here
00:39:37I just want to show you this
00:39:39It's just weird that you played that
00:39:40Why?
00:39:42Is that your Nan?
00:39:43Yeah
00:39:43This was my
00:39:44This was my Nan
00:39:46Oh
00:39:47Somewhere over the rainbow
00:39:50Somewhere over the rainbow
00:39:51Was a really big song in my life with her
00:39:55And played at her funeral
00:39:57There's a love
00:39:59The second I hear that song
00:40:01I'm like
00:40:02Yeah
00:40:02Woo
00:40:03And it was so good
00:40:04Yeah
00:40:07I know what you're going through, babes
00:40:09You did so well
00:40:11Thank you
00:40:11We'll see you again soon
00:40:24You hold my heart in your hand
00:40:29Next
00:40:29Let's go
00:40:30Oh
00:40:31Sorry
00:40:32Have you had much performance practice?
00:40:35No
00:40:35Actually, you're my biggest crowd
00:40:37Nervous first timers
00:40:39Hit the idle stage
00:40:40This is the first real time I'm standing in front of anyone
00:40:42But who will fly?
00:40:44You've got a natural talent
00:40:46Untrained
00:40:47I'm going to say yes
00:40:49And who will fall?
00:40:51You shook all the way through it
00:40:53You nearly terrorised yourself
00:40:55But I felt like almost nothing
00:40:57It's not good enough
00:40:58Plus
00:41:01Could an R&B queen
00:41:03This is the sort of artist I'm looking for
00:41:06Be the new frontrunner of the whole competition
00:41:09If I could paint a picture of the perfect idol
00:41:11I'd be painting a picture of Alita
00:41:13And later
00:41:14Why do I know you?
00:41:16Have you already auditioned?
00:41:17I'm Asher and I'm back
00:41:18I auditioned once
00:41:20And they said no
00:41:21But I'm back again
00:41:22Because I really want this
00:41:23But will it be
00:41:25Redemption
00:41:26Good luck my friend
00:41:28Or rejection
00:41:30That made me feel so uneasy
00:41:50It's day six of auditions
00:41:52And with the race for a golden ticket heating up
00:41:56Our remaining idle hopefuls can't afford to put a foot wrong
00:42:00Yeah
00:42:00Nice
00:42:01Oh
00:42:01Sorry
00:42:03Whoops
00:42:03You know what we've seen a lot of this year?
00:42:05People auditioning for us at idle
00:42:07That have never sung in front of anyone before
00:42:10My name is Lauren
00:42:12Gabriella
00:42:12My name's Luke
00:42:13Have you had much performance practice in front of people?
00:42:16No, actually
00:42:17You're my biggest crowd
00:42:18Three
00:42:19Yeah
00:42:20Amazing
00:42:20Coming here today
00:42:22Trying to be in the next Australian idle
00:42:25This is the first real time I've sung in front of anyone
00:42:27Wow, really?
00:42:28Also no performance in front of anyone
00:42:30This is it
00:42:31This is it
00:42:31They've had no experience singing in front of somebody
00:42:35What are you thinking?
00:42:37So have you been like preparing for this for a while?
00:42:41No, it's only probably the last year I've started singing in the shower
00:42:45So you started in the shower
00:42:46I think it's very brave for them to come and audition
00:42:49It's brave, it's bold, but it's a bit premature
00:42:53Sweaty palms
00:42:59Okay
00:43:07I need a hero
00:43:10I'm holding out for a hero until the morning light
00:43:14He's got to be sure and he's got to be soon
00:43:17I've got to be larger than I
00:43:20I need a hero
00:43:23You shook all the way through it
00:43:25You nearly terrorised yourself
00:43:27I can see that microphone
00:43:28I can see that microphone
00:43:29It was on the wobble
00:43:29Yes
00:43:30I think as it was
00:43:31I guess it was
00:43:32We can only judge what we see today
00:43:33And the nerves did just swallow you up
00:43:36Yeah
00:43:36I'm going to have to say no
00:43:49It's a really big difference hearing a track of a singer you really dig
00:43:56And then you come here and there's nobody helping you out
00:44:00And so you're standing there butt naked
00:44:02What she's saying is that it's not good enough
00:44:06But in a lovely way
00:44:09At least audition in front of someone else before you show up to us
00:44:13Anyone
00:44:13Even at the RSPCA in front of all the cats
00:44:17Someone
00:44:18What are you going to sing today?
00:44:19Today I'll be singing Sam Smith, I'm Not the Only One
00:44:21Beautiful
00:44:23Interesting, very interesting
00:44:24Good luck man
00:44:25Thank you very much
00:44:25Appreciate it
00:44:26Here's Luke
00:44:26Good luck buddy
00:44:31Are you ready?
00:44:41You and me
00:44:42We made a vow
00:44:46For better or for worse
00:44:51And I can't believe you let me down
00:44:56But the proof's in the way it hurts
00:45:00You say I'm crazy
00:45:06Cause you don't think I know what you've done
00:45:12But when you call me baby
00:45:19I know I'm not the only one
00:45:27Luke, that shower echo really helps, doesn't it?
00:45:30It does
00:45:30It's like the world's biggest shower here
00:45:32It is
00:45:33But you've got none of that echo chamber that we all sound great in the shower
00:45:38It is, it's crazy
00:45:39Even I think I'm unreal in the shower
00:45:41Yeah, no, that's it
00:45:42Now this could be a good space to look
00:45:44To find out his voice outside the shower
00:45:48Interestingly enough is
00:45:50You didn't take your time to breathe into the notes that you should have
00:45:57And look, this is not easy
00:45:59I am so aware that you walk in here and here we are
00:46:03You know, and we say okay we'll perform
00:46:05And in the quiet of your shower, that would be so easy
00:46:10And look, look, look at him, look at him
00:46:11Standing there, listening
00:46:13Yes
00:46:14Not coming up with a thousand excuses as to why
00:46:16Oh no, if only I
00:46:18Cause we hate hearing that
00:46:20No, of course
00:46:20You've got a natural talent
00:46:23Untrained shower singer from the suburbs
00:46:26Who listens to feedback and instruction from people that have been doing this their whole life
00:46:31Definitely
00:46:32I'm going to say yes
00:46:33Even though you could crash and burn in the next round
00:46:37Listen, I know he's not up to par
00:46:40I mean, like, the thing is also people come in here and they're like
00:46:43Oh yeah, but we'll learn off you
00:46:44This isn't a show that we are coaches
00:46:46We are judges
00:46:47I'm just worried that you're going from your shower here
00:46:50Yeah
00:46:51It's like, what?
00:46:52I can hear it
00:46:53From the shower to the big stage
00:46:55Give it up for Luke, everyone
00:46:57March up
00:46:58I don't know
00:46:59So wait, what are you
00:46:59Have you said
00:47:00I've said yes
00:47:01You said yes
00:47:01Roll the dice
00:47:03Beautiful, thank you
00:47:04Thank you very much
00:47:05Ready to give it a roll
00:47:06Look, you know, I'm not going to
00:47:07You say this is what you want to do and sing
00:47:09The great thing about being around people like this
00:47:11You're going to be around like-minded people
00:47:13Regardless of what happens, you're going to learn it's a yes from me
00:47:16Thank you very much
00:47:16That's all you need, baby
00:47:17Thank you very much
00:47:18You only need two
00:47:19You know, you'll learn
00:47:20Yeah
00:47:20Ames, come on
00:47:21Let's just do it
00:47:22Yes
00:47:22I'll take you
00:47:23Three yeses
00:47:25Why not?
00:47:26From an unexperienced, unproven potential star
00:47:31Luke, looks like you're at least true to the next round
00:47:35Will you get the golden ticket?
00:47:38You might snuff out then
00:47:39But you've done something today that's really put you on the radar
00:47:42I'm very grateful for that
00:47:44Thank you very much
00:47:44You're welcome
00:47:45You're welcome
00:47:45Thanks Luke
00:47:45Well done
00:47:46He was cool
00:47:49I don't know what
00:47:50There's something there I like about this
00:47:52He's genuine
00:47:53I mean, yeah
00:47:54I like it
00:47:55And how hard could it be if you two have done it your whole life?
00:48:00Let's go
00:48:01Here we go
00:48:01I've got three
00:48:02Yeses
00:48:02Oh!
00:48:03He's really good
00:48:04Oh my God
00:48:06Congratulations
00:48:08We'll see you later on
00:48:10Oh, he did it
00:48:12He did it
00:48:14Let's go
00:48:15Good stuff
00:48:16As Luke heads to the waiting room
00:48:19His nerves finally begin to settle
00:48:21Hi
00:48:22Where are you from?
00:48:23Where are you from?
00:48:24From Townsville
00:48:24But for our next singer
00:48:26Confidence has never been in short supply
00:48:29Hey guys
00:48:30How are y'all feeling?
00:48:32Good
00:48:32Excited
00:48:33Excited
00:48:34I'm Lita
00:48:36I'm 22
00:48:36And I'm from Adelaide
00:48:39Ladies and gentlemen
00:48:40Ladies and gentlemen
00:48:41The princess is here
00:48:43I've wanted this opportunity
00:48:45Since I was little
00:48:50I've always dreamed of being an R&B queen
00:49:00So I come from like Indian background
00:49:03Gonna be so exciting
00:49:04I'm excited
00:49:05You're gonna be the next idol
00:49:07Oh my God
00:49:08Hopefully
00:49:09Yeah
00:49:10Oh
00:49:11And you like it
00:49:12Yeah
00:49:12Yes
00:49:14Music industry in my culture
00:49:16Is not considered safe
00:49:18You know
00:49:18Like
00:49:18It's not a steady income
00:49:20So to be able to do this

00:51:25I just can't seem to find
00:51:27The reason to believe
00:51:28That I can't really breathe
00:51:31Cause you see
00:51:32I have it done for so long
00:51:34Feel like all hope is gone
00:51:36But as I lift my hands
00:51:38I understand
00:51:39That I should praise you
00:51:41Through my circus days
00:51:42Take a shackle on my feet
00:51:44So I can dance
00:51:45She said that she should be out of Justin's charm

00:51:55And I'm gonna praise you
00:51:58I'm gonna praise you
00:52:01Be through the fire
00:52:02You've been laid
00:52:04Down in every kind of way
00:52:06God has broken every day
00:52:08So let me know by you now
00:52:11A shackles on my feet
00:52:13So I can dance
00:52:14I just want to praise you
00:52:17I just want to praise you
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:20Hope the chain
00:52:22Now I can't live in my
00:52:24And I'm gonna praise you
00:52:27I'm gonna
00:52:28I'm gonna praise you
00:52:30Yeah
00:52:34Thank you
00:52:35Thank you Alita
00:52:37Thank you
00:52:38Of course I'm gonna say yes
00:52:40This is the sort of artist
00:52:42I'm looking for
00:52:43Love the look
00:52:45With a capital
00:52:46L-O-V-E
00:52:47You look awesome
00:52:49I like the vibe you bring
00:52:51I think the song choice was great
00:52:53You got everything
00:52:54If I could paint a picture of the perfect idol
00:52:57I'd be painting a picture of Alita
00:52:59Thank you
00:53:00What do you think Marsha?
00:53:01Okay I'll talk to you about your voice
00:53:02Will I?
00:53:04Okay so
00:53:04I know the song
00:53:05I've sung the song
00:53:06And I've recorded that song
00:53:07Okay so
00:53:08And Mary Mary
00:53:10They're the bomb
00:53:10They're gospel singers
00:53:12You've got to find your vowel
00:53:14Because you are singing in your nose
00:53:16And I want to hear you open those vowels
00:53:19And not stay in that passage in your head
00:53:22Does that make sense?
00:53:23Yeah
00:53:23And so if you're going to sing those songs
00:53:25That's how you should sing that song
00:53:27Okay
00:53:27Otherwise I can't really fault what you did
00:53:30The bottom line is
00:53:31I think you did a good job
00:53:32And you look great
00:53:33And you're a vibe
00:53:34So it's a yes
00:53:36Dale
00:53:38We keep saying people like
00:53:39Go over the top
00:53:40And they try and cover every corner
00:53:42Of the stage here
00:53:44Where you just kind of
00:53:45Were like
00:53:45I'm comfortable right here
00:53:47I'm going to focus on my vocals
00:53:49I got a couple of dance moves
00:53:51That I'm familiar with
00:53:52And I'm going to say yes
00:53:55Thank you so much
00:53:56It meant the world
00:53:57Okay Alita
00:53:58Well done
00:53:58At the end of today
00:54:00We hand out the golden tickets
00:54:02To the best of the best
00:54:03Hopefully you get one
00:54:05Thank you so much
00:54:06Good luck
00:54:06Thanks for coming
00:54:06Thank you Alita
00:54:07Appreciate it
00:54:08See you soon
00:54:09Bye

00:54:18Amazing
00:54:19Congratulations
00:54:20Oh my gosh
00:54:22Oh my gosh
00:54:34How do you feel it went
00:54:36It was surreal
00:54:38Yeah
00:54:38I loved it
00:54:39Yeah
00:54:41We sang the hell out of it
00:54:43Thank you
00:54:45Coming up
00:54:50We're all different
00:54:51I don't know how they're going to pick
00:54:52With only nine golden tickets left
00:54:55How hard are you willing to work for this
00:54:58The stakes couldn't be higher
00:55:00You're up against the monster voices
00:55:03I'm just hoping all the hard work that I've put in
00:55:06Is not for nothing
00:55:09And next
00:55:10I'm Asher and I'm back
00:55:12I auditioned once and they said no
00:55:14But I'm back again
00:55:16Because I really want this
00:55:17That first audition
00:55:19I went in there
00:55:19Everything was so real
00:55:21Seeing the judges there
00:55:22I was starstruck
00:55:23Your idol
00:55:24Put your hands up
00:55:25Man
00:55:25Reach for the sky
00:55:26Oh the
00:55:27Oh shit
00:55:30I just froze
00:55:32And completely
00:55:33Forgot my lyrics
00:55:34Man we run into the streets
00:55:35I love that remix version
00:55:37Where the words were just missing
00:55:38I had this chance
00:55:40And I just blew it
00:55:40Unfortunately
00:55:41It's a no from me
00:55:42I'm not saying never
00:55:43Okay
00:55:44I'm saying right now
00:55:45Just know
00:55:47That it's a crappy day
00:55:48And get up tomorrow
00:55:49And keep going
00:55:52That's all you can do
00:55:53Just keep going
00:55:54Hopefully when they see me again
00:55:56They see how driven
00:55:57And how badly
00:55:58I want this
00:56:00Can't get enough
00:56:01Of Australian Idol
00:56:02Well how about

00:56:07Yeah
00:56:07Singing it's my life
00:56:09Stacked with young stars
00:56:11When I hear that
00:56:12We're so blowing
00:56:13I hang my head
00:56:16And cry
00:56:17Watch what happens
00:56:18When the cutest kids

00:56:33You did such a great job
00:56:34On 7 Plus
00:56:35And YouTube
00:56:41I used to put gummy bears
00:56:44In my frozen Coke
00:56:45At the cinema
00:56:46Or frozen strawberry
00:56:47I couldn't handle them
00:56:49Cross-pollination of textures
00:56:50Oh really?
00:56:51I can't even have anything
00:56:52On my ice cream
00:56:53You can't have like
00:56:54Ice cream
00:56:55Like a warmed up
00:56:57Piece of mud cake
00:56:58With ice cream
00:56:59Oh
00:56:59I could
00:57:00But I'd eat them
00:57:01All separately
00:57:02You
00:57:03That is
00:57:04Yeah
00:57:05Man that's weird
00:57:06In my mind
00:57:08My dinner's like
00:57:08On a jail tray
00:57:10All one at a time
00:57:12As the judges
00:57:13Ready themselves
00:57:14For the last few
00:57:15Singers of the day
00:57:17The waiting room
00:57:19Is already full
00:57:20With talented performers
00:57:23All hoping
00:57:24They can grab
00:57:25One of only
00:57:26Nine golden tickets
00:57:27Remaining
00:57:28There's not many
00:57:29Of them guys
00:57:30Yeah
00:57:31And after refusing
00:57:32To take no for an answer
00:57:34Our next singer
00:57:35Is desperate to join them
00:57:37Go
00:57:37It's a comeback

00:58:02Thank you
00:58:02My love for music

00:58:15And if I want
00:58:17To do music full time

01:01:21It's done.
01:01:30Well, do you know what wasn't awesome?
01:01:33Is watching you mentally prepare in front of us.
01:01:36I drew a picture on my morning, but you couldn't make my day.
01:01:39Hey, I'm rocking and you're yawning, but you never look my way.
01:01:43That made me feel so uneasy.
01:01:47This is a performance, Asher.
01:01:49This is, I don't want to see that.
01:01:52I don't want to feel nervous for you.
01:01:54And the second you did that, I was like, oh no, no, no, no, no.
01:01:56He's going to psych himself out again.
01:01:58You know what worries me?
01:02:00Are you one of these guys that we see you once, you're great,
01:02:04the next time, not good, then you're good, then you're not good.
01:02:07Like, because you strutting around doing your thing.
01:02:10You're on time.
01:02:11You knew all the words.
01:02:13Very believable sounding artist this time around.
01:02:16But we need it to be success every single time.
01:02:20How old are you again?
01:02:2216.
01:02:2216.
01:02:2316.
01:02:24You know what?
01:02:24I started my career from Brisbane about your age, a year younger,
01:02:30and I didn't take no for an answer either.
01:02:32I got knocked back, knocked back, knocked back, just keep powering, powering.
01:02:36What have you got to lose?
01:02:37A large part of this industry is passion, and what you just did,
01:02:41just coming back here, I'm so impressed with you.
01:02:45Not taking no for an answer.
01:02:46That's right.
01:02:47You know, you came back and said, listen, I can do this.
01:02:50You beat yourself up at home, and that was the right thing to do.
01:02:53It's a yes from me.
01:02:55You need two yeses.
01:02:57What do you reckon, Kyle?
01:03:07I can't lie.
01:03:08I've got to say yes as well.
01:03:11It was great.
01:03:12I totally enjoyed it.
01:03:14Amy?
01:03:15I've got to give it to you.
01:03:16It was so much better than last time.
01:03:19I'm going to say yes.
01:03:21Wow, what a turn of events.
01:03:22It's a pretty huge thing you did.
01:03:24Like, I don't know many people that have done that.
01:03:26That is insane.
01:03:27Well done.
01:03:28Thank you guys.
01:03:28Congratulations.
01:03:30We're going to see you later on.
01:03:31We don't have many golden tickets left.
01:03:34We've got some crazy talent to share.
01:03:37Okay?
01:03:37So regardless of what goes on here, remember what you did for yourself.
01:03:42You stepped up and you came back.
01:03:44I'm impressed with you, Asher.
01:03:46Three yeses, my friend.
01:03:48Three yeses.
01:03:49That was worth the plane ride.
01:03:49So who's with you now?
01:03:51Just mum.
01:03:52Oh, you brought mum this time.
01:03:53Yeah, she's outside.
01:03:54Go and let your mum know you've got three yeses.
01:03:55I'm so excited for mum.
01:03:57Thank you, Asher.
01:03:57Well done, bro.
01:03:58Thank you so much.
01:04:00Yes!
01:04:02How are you feeling?
01:04:03I'm so nervous for him.
01:04:07Three yeses!
01:04:08Yes!
01:04:11Oh, buddy.
01:04:14Oh, I'm going to make some of Becky Willow.
01:04:18Well done.
01:04:19Congratulations.
01:04:20Are you happy you came back?
01:04:21I'm so happy.
01:04:22I'm so happy.
01:04:24I'm so happy.
01:04:25I'm so glad you got to come back and give it another shot and redeem yourself.
01:04:30You nailed it.
01:04:31Congratulations.
01:04:32Thank you so much.
01:04:32Nicely done.
01:04:34Go celebrate, guys.
01:04:36Go celebrate!
01:04:37To know that story of going home and coming back, that's just pure heart.
01:04:44If that was my kid I'd be saying, listen, you gave it, you got to know we ain't going
01:04:50back on the plane again.
01:04:51You must have been relentless.
01:04:53Yeah.
01:04:53Especially at 16, to be like, oh, dad, I'm going back.
01:04:56No, I know I can do better.
01:04:57You know I can do better.
01:04:57Yeah, good on him.
01:04:58What a legend.
01:05:00Next, after the penultimate day of auditions, standards have soared and seven extraordinary
01:05:08singers have emerged.
01:05:11Good luck, you guys.
01:05:13But who...
01:05:14Bring him in.
01:05:15...will make it through?
01:05:17This is not easy, you know.
01:05:19You all made us feel something.
01:05:21And earn their place in the top 30.
01:05:24When it comes to vocal power, one of you guys really stood out.
01:05:30The singer that is going to receive the golden ticket is going to be.
01:05:42The penultimate day of auditions has come to a close.
01:05:46And all eyes are on the golden ticket.
01:05:50This is crazy.
01:05:51It's really, like, setting in now.
01:05:53Yeah.
01:05:53It's going to be one of ours.
01:05:56I don't want to go up against anyone.
01:05:58No.
01:05:59They're all starting to realise just how strong the competition is.
01:06:03Well, they're all great, but they're all so different.
01:06:05And not all of them will get a golden ticket.
01:06:08With 21 singers securing golden tickets in the top 30, only nine tickets remain.
01:06:15Leaving the judges to make some tough calls.
01:06:28This won't be easy and we don't have golden tickets for everyone.
01:06:31No.
01:06:32Oh, I remember this girl.
01:06:33She looks like a star.
01:06:35We're all different.
01:06:36I don't know how they're going to pick.
01:06:38Now, these guys too, they could be a surprise package, these two.
01:06:42They could be.
01:06:43Great sound, which was refreshing.
01:06:45Top of the Harbour Bridge.
01:06:47I auditioned Lydia.
01:06:50Oh, that's nice.
01:06:54And she's got BMX Bandit early Nicole Kidman vibes going on.
01:06:58Yes.
01:06:58Yeah, she does.
01:07:00Okay.
01:07:00Bring them all in.
01:07:02First up to face the judges is Amy's Harbour Bridge wildcard Lydia and shower singer Luke.
01:07:11I feel a little bit out of my comfort zone.
01:07:13Coming up against people that have been doing it all their lives is a bit daunting.
01:07:16This is my first time in singing in front of anyone, but I've come this far.
01:07:19I hope the judges can see enough in me to get me that golden ticket.
01:07:23I feel very nervous that I haven't met Marsha and Kyle yet.
01:07:27Good luck, you guys.
01:07:29It feels like I'm doing a second audition.
01:07:34This is more nerve-wracking than climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
01:07:41Hello, hello.
01:07:42Hi.
01:07:43Hello again.
01:07:43Okay, everyone.
01:07:45So let me introduce you to Lydia, who you haven't met.
01:07:48Hi Lydia.
01:07:49This is the guy auditioned on top of the Harbour Bridge.
01:07:52I just showed the guys your video.
01:07:54They were very impressed.
01:07:55Yeah.
01:07:55It looked incredible up there actually.
01:07:57Beautiful.
01:07:57Yep.
01:07:58Don't add yourself everywhere.
01:07:59Just love yourself and you said I'm on the right track.
01:08:03Baby, I was born this way.
01:08:05Yeah.
01:08:06And Luke, how can we forget you?
01:08:08Our shower singer.
01:08:09That's me.
01:08:10That's it.
01:08:11But when you call me baby, I know I'm not the only one.
01:08:23It's a tough part of the competition because we have believed in both of you to get this
01:08:28far.
01:08:29But one of you brought more excitement to your audition.
01:08:38The singer that is going to receive the golden ticket is going to be Lydia.
01:08:55Luke, thank you so much.
01:08:56Keep singing in that shower, okay?
01:08:58We'll hopefully see you again next week.
01:09:01What?
01:09:02That's my golden ticket Lydia.
01:09:05Well done.
01:09:06That was so, so great.
01:09:08Fantastic effort.
01:09:09You look great on the video.
01:09:10Amy never disappoints us.
01:09:12Congratulations.
01:09:12Welcome to the Idol family.
01:09:14Well done babe.
01:09:15Thank you so much.
01:09:17Thank you so much.
01:09:17That's a great find, Hames.
01:09:19Yeah.
01:09:19Nice work.
01:09:20Yeah.
01:09:34I started not knowing I was even auditioning on the Harbour Bridge and now I'm in the top
01:09:4030.
01:09:41Wow.
01:09:43I just can't believe it's happened.
01:09:45Bye guys.
01:09:46Congratulations.
01:09:47Well done.
01:09:50She's cool hey?
01:09:52Yeah.
01:09:52Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:09:52She'll be fun.
01:09:53Next please.
01:09:56Next up to face the judges are three performers with extraordinary voices.
01:10:02It's ballad singer Harlan.
01:10:05The winner takes it off.
01:10:17I really do believe that talent can only get you so far.
01:10:19You can be the most talented person in a room but if someone is working harder than
01:10:22you they will beat you.
01:10:24And so I want to be that person.
01:10:26Country trucker Rochelle.
01:10:38I'm definitely fish out of water here.
01:10:40Very far apart with my country style and genre and hopefully I've been impressive enough
01:10:45to be able to make it through to the next round.
01:10:47And hearing impaired singer Michaela.
01:10:50I am feeling very very nervous about battling for this golden ticket.
01:11:06Good luck.
01:11:08But I'm now in a spot where I've got all the hearing stuff going on so like now's kind of
01:11:12the time for me to step forward.
01:11:22Hey guys.
01:11:23Hi.
01:11:24Welcome back.
01:11:28Harlan, big voice, the black sheep of the family.
01:11:32Michaela we heard about your loss of hearing but to see you push through that was so impressive.
01:11:40And Rochelle, I mean, geez, we were all brought to tears with that song and hearing about your
01:11:46Nan.
01:11:48This is not easy, you know.
01:11:51You all made us feel something and that's what storytelling music is about.
01:11:58When it comes to vocal power, one of you guys really stood out.
01:12:08And that person is Harlan.
01:12:19You're welcome.
01:12:21How are you feeling?
01:12:22I feel great.
01:12:23Thank you so much Harlan.
01:12:24Well done.
01:12:25I like a black sheep myself.
01:12:28You're welcome.
01:12:28It was lovely meeting you guys.
01:12:30Lovely meeting you.
01:12:30Well done.
01:12:31Go and celebrate.
01:12:32You're welcome.
01:12:33Ciao.
01:12:37Wow.
01:12:45It does not feel real.
01:12:47Top 30.
01:12:48I'm going to work my butt off as much as I can.
01:12:51Go celebrate and I'll see you soon.
01:12:53Bye guys.
01:12:56Do I keep this?
01:12:58Sorry?
01:12:58Do I get to keep this?
01:13:00Yes.
01:13:00Oh yes.
01:13:02Okay girls, Michaela and Rochelle.
01:13:06That leaves you two.
01:13:08There will only be one more ticket between the two of you girls.
01:13:16And it's a bit of a wrestle because you both have really good qualities.
01:13:21And the person that's going to get the golden ticket is.
01:13:35Michaela and Rochelle, there will only be one more ticket between the two of you girls.
01:13:43And it's a bit of a wrestle because you both have really good qualities.
01:13:57This golden ticket goes to Rochelle the Truckee.
01:14:03Rochelle.
01:14:06Thank you Michaela.
01:14:07Thank you so much.
01:14:08Appreciate it babe.
01:14:10Keep going with everything.
01:14:14What do you think Nen would think of this right now?
01:14:16I know.
01:14:17She would be so happy.
01:14:19Losing her mind.
01:14:20She would be.
01:14:20Like literally if I was coming home with this.
01:14:22Like bringing it to her.
01:14:23Like it would be so lovely.
01:14:24Rochelle congratulations.
01:14:26I'm thrilled for you.
01:14:27Thank you very much.
01:14:28Happy tears I hope.
01:14:29Make sure you work hard.
01:14:30Make sure you work hard.
01:14:30I will.
01:14:32Thank you guys.
01:14:33Bye bye.
01:14:33I got something to believe in.
01:14:39Cause I believe in me.
01:14:48It's okay.
01:14:50I'm so sorry.
01:14:52Oh no.
01:14:53You cheeky cheeky.
01:14:56I cannot wait to go home to Longreach.
01:15:00We're going to see Nen are at her site and like sit there and I'll pull it out when I'm
01:15:04there.
01:15:05How good does it feel to be in the top 30 of Australian Idol?
01:15:07This is crazy.
01:15:09Like I literally don't even know yet.
01:15:11This is insane.
01:15:12Alright.
01:15:12Go celebrate you guys.
01:15:14Congratulations.
01:15:15Welcome to the top 30.
01:15:19Next up to face the judges it's comeback rapper Asha and R&B queen Alita.
01:15:36After a failed first audition Asha didn't take no for an answer.
01:15:41Putting himself back in front of the judges for a fighting second chance.
01:15:46Let's go round two baby.
01:15:59There's never been a rapper to win Australian Idol and I want to be the first.
01:16:03I've worked so hard to get up to this point coming back again.
01:16:07I'm just hoping I've shown enough to the judges.
01:16:11I want to be the representative of my community to get that golden ticket.
01:16:16It shows them that they can do this as well.
01:16:19I'm just hoping all the hard work that I've put in.
01:16:22It's finally paid off and it's not for nothing.
01:16:25Good luck you guys.
01:16:28Let's go.
01:16:32They're so nervous.
01:16:39Oh hi there guys.
01:16:41Hello.
01:16:42Front and centre please.
01:16:44Oh look it's Alita our Y2K princess from Adelaide and the comeback kid Asha from Brisbane.
01:16:51Our 16 year old rapper.
01:16:53Both bringing a little bit of old school back to Idol.
01:16:57Both did a brilliant job.
01:16:59Today some are getting the golden ticket and some are not.
01:17:03Yes unfortunately yeah.
01:17:04You know I have a question for you guys.
01:17:09How hard are you willing to work for this?
01:17:14I'm willing to put everything I have into this.
01:17:17I've spent so many late nights mixing and mastering, producing, writing, just working on my craft.
01:17:22And I just hope it's led up to this moment.
01:17:26Alita?
01:17:27It's just been my dream ever since I was young.
01:17:29I'm willing to like just drop everything and just follow my passion and I just want to take that extra
01:17:34step to just feel that I made it.
01:17:37Okay excuse us for sake.
01:17:40Okay what do we think?
01:17:41I don't know.
01:17:43Oh wow.
01:17:44Terrified.
01:17:46I'm sorry.
01:17:47Yeah.
01:17:48Okay.
01:17:50I don't know anything.
01:17:51I don't know anything so.
01:17:53This is a tough business guys.
01:17:56Not everyone gets to live their dreams.
01:17:58You're up against the monster voices.
01:18:01The singer receiving the golden ticket today.
01:18:12Will be Alita.
01:18:15Alita come forward.
01:18:16Grab yourself a golden ticket.
01:18:20Hey.
01:18:21Congratulations.
01:18:22Nice work.
01:18:22You look fantastic.
01:18:23You sound fantastic.
01:18:24You got the right passion, the right drive.
01:18:26It's on you now.
01:18:27Yep.
01:18:28Go and celebrate.
01:18:29Well done honey.
01:18:30Excellent work.
01:18:30You're welcome.
01:18:34You can try but you can't hide.
01:18:39It's amazing to receive this.
01:18:45My parents, they're going to show it up to everyone.
01:18:47They'll be like come room.
01:18:48Like let me show you what Alita got.
01:18:50Look at these tears.
01:18:52Happy tears.
01:18:54Yeah.
01:18:55I'm excited for a little competition.
01:18:57Bring it on.
01:18:58You know what I'm saying.
01:18:59Take it down.
01:19:01Take it down.
01:19:01Oh Asha.
01:19:02Bro.
01:19:03You know what bro.
01:19:05You're young.
01:19:07That first audition you fluffed it.
01:19:10We really love that you came back for the second chance.
01:19:13You did.
01:19:13You redeemed yourself.
01:19:15When we're judging, we judge every time we've seen you guys.
01:19:19Whether it's once, twice.
01:19:21And it just gets harder.
01:19:23You know, hopefully we'll see you again one day in the future.
01:19:28Like, for example, at the top 30.
01:19:34Oh my goodness.
01:19:38Oh my goodness.
01:19:52You came back and you showed us what you really made of.
01:19:55You thought you were done there, right?
01:19:56I thought I was done.
01:19:57You ready to get back on the plane to Brinsley again?
01:20:00Well, go and celebrate.
01:20:02Thank you guys so much.
01:20:03Well done my friends.
01:20:04Thank you so much.
01:20:05See you at top 30 weeks.
01:20:07He's a nice kid.
01:20:07He is a nice kid.
01:20:12Oh no.
01:20:14We got a good ticket!
01:20:21Being in the top 30 is just mind-blowing.
01:20:24It was hard coming back for a second audition,
01:20:25not even knowing if I was able to audition again,
01:20:28but it all paid off in the end.
01:20:30You really earned that.
01:20:31Go and celebrate.
01:20:32Congratulations.
01:20:33You deserve it.
01:20:34Nicely done.
01:20:35Bye guys.
01:20:40Rachelle, Harlan, Asher, Alita and Lydia join our golden top 30.
01:20:47That leaves only four golden tickets for the final day of auditions.
01:20:54What makes Marsha say this?
01:20:58That was truly a car crash.
01:21:03Idle Top 30 week is here.
01:21:05It's no longer about being good.
01:21:07It's about being unforgettable.
01:21:09The final auditions are just the start.
01:21:13You're fighting for your own life.
01:21:14They will face off.
01:21:17Step up y'all.
01:21:18One slip and they're cut.
01:21:22You'll remember me.
01:21:28That was one of the worst performances I have ever seen.
01:21:32I'm so sorry.
01:21:34I forgot the lyrics.
01:21:35What a disaster.
01:21:36Oh no.
01:21:38A car crash.
01:21:42That's embarrassing.
01:21:43I don't know how to come back from that.
01:21:46Over three massive nights, only the best will make it to the live performances.
01:21:53Wow.
01:21:54That voice man.
01:21:55That's the best you've ever seen.
01:21:58There it is.
01:21:59There it is.
01:22:00And the crowd goes wild.
01:22:04Idle Top 30 week, Sunday on 7.
01:22:13Idle Top 30 week, Sunday on 7.
01:22:14So, from hours and hours, we only look after it in a while.
01:22:14I think this path goes away, but instead of an hour and hours, and we just wait until this day.
