00:08:54Thank you, Jess.
00:08:55Your story through that song.
00:08:57I could hear every kind of crack and just moment
00:09:01and visualise of your life.

00:09:47Well done.
00:09:48It was beautiful.
00:09:49Well done.
00:09:50I have to say, like, there's a fine balance between, you know, parenthood, hustling,
00:09:55and, you know, being who you are.
00:09:57And that can be a struggle.
00:09:59Absolutely.
00:10:00And we got to see a glimpse of that in that performance.
00:10:03And I'm really looking forward to absorbing that.

00:10:27All of them.
00:10:28Wow!
00:10:28Very awesome!
00:10:30For them to respond how they did.
00:10:32It just, like, solidifies everything I've worked for.
00:10:36So, it's really good.
00:10:41That was awesome.
00:10:42That was an audition we'll never forget.
00:10:44Never forget.
00:10:44That's true.
00:10:45Next, please.
00:10:46Good luck, whoever this is.
00:10:49Hi.
00:10:50Hello.
00:10:51Hi there.
00:10:52Hi.
00:10:52Whatcha' name?
00:10:53My name's Lord Lucas.
00:10:55Lord Lucas.
00:10:56Alright, let's do it.
00:10:58I'm ready.
00:10:58Lord Lucas.
00:11:00You know.
00:11:01Alright, let's get busy, yo.
00:11:03Check it.
00:11:04Yo, I just wanna make you smile.
00:11:05I wanna throw you like Michael.
00:11:07I wanna kiss you like Prince.
00:11:10Let's get it on like Marvin Gaye.
00:11:12Like Hathaway.
00:11:13Write a song for you like this.
00:11:15I'm over my head.
00:11:16I'm out of my mind.
00:11:18Thinking I was born in the wrong time.
00:11:20It's love on Rewind.
00:11:21Everything is so throwback-ish.
00:11:24Baby, you're so classic.
00:11:26Oh!
00:11:26Oh!
00:11:27Oh!
00:11:29Oh, damn!
00:11:32Luke.
00:11:33You don't have like the best singing voice.
00:11:36And there wasn't much melody even in the rap.
00:11:39I mean, we should probably have told Jess this.
00:11:42The level is already very high.
00:11:44The bar's been set.
00:11:45Yeah, yeah.
00:11:45For me, it's gonna be a no.
00:11:47Easy, easy.
00:11:48Look, the energy you brought in is very positive and we thank you for that.
00:11:52But it's a no from me.
00:11:53The hardest thing for me about being a judge is that I have to learn to say no.
00:12:00I, that's not in my DNA.
00:12:03I thought of your buddy I came alive, but I woke up every time, oh baby.
00:12:21I think you had the desire and the passion.
00:12:25And then you were really great in the chorus and then you just slightly lost pitch.
00:12:35I'm a genie and a bottle, you gotta rub me the right way.
00:12:41I'm a genie and a bottle, baby.
00:12:44Come and come, come on and let me out.
00:12:52Big decision, Jess.
00:12:53Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:12:55You were better than others.
00:12:58But I think there's, um, you know.
00:13:02Jess has the voice of an angel and the heart to match.
00:13:05Coming on here is so brave.
00:13:07But when it comes to Jess saying no to someone, she sucks.
00:13:11Thank you so much for showing up today and, um.
00:13:15Yeah.
00:13:15Yeah, sorry.
00:13:16Unfortunately, it's a no for me.
00:13:17That's all good.
00:13:18Lovely to meet you all.
00:13:19Thank you, Maureen.
00:13:22Oh, God.
00:13:23Dare we say it.
00:13:25Next.
00:13:26Hello.
00:13:28Oh, I can see some nervous little hands.
00:13:30Oh, there's nerves, there's nerves, there's nerves, there's nerves.
00:13:31Give me a hug.
00:13:34How are you feeling?
00:13:35A bit nervous.
00:13:35A little bit nervous.
00:13:36A bit anxious, but I'm glad my friends are here.
00:13:39Yes.
00:13:39You got your number one fan right here.
00:13:42My sister.
00:13:44Hug.
00:13:44Hug.
00:13:45Everyone come.
00:13:46Everyone come.
00:13:47I'll give it you up.
00:13:48Anything you want to say before he goes in there?
00:13:50Good luck.
00:13:51Good luck.
00:13:52Thank you, Sarah.
00:13:53You know what you're doing.
00:13:54Yes.
00:13:55Get in there.
00:13:56See you on the other side.
00:13:57Bye.
00:13:57Good luck.
00:14:00Hi, I'm Tayo.
00:14:01I'm 50 and I'm from Manly.
00:14:02On the weekends, I really love surfing with friends and also going busking on the Corsa.
00:14:08Ooh, Mr. Electric Blue.
00:14:12I wanna dance like you.
00:14:16I busk about once a week or maybe once a fortnight depending on the weather.
00:14:21I love busking, especially just seeing the people walking by that just stop and then they just watch you.
00:14:27And sometimes they smile, sometimes they dance, sometimes they sing along.
00:14:29And I think that's really the best part.
00:14:31Thank you so much.
00:14:32And also I can get money.
00:14:33So I can buy ice cream after.
00:14:36Super exciting.
00:14:37Oh no, it's dripping, it's dripping, it's dripping.
00:14:41Oh, hello young man.
00:14:44Oh wow.
00:14:46Hello.

00:14:59Yeah, so I'm actually a busker.
00:15:01And I've been busking ever since I was six years old.
00:15:04Wow.
00:15:04And with all the money that I've earned, I've kind of, you know,
00:15:08got better equipment.
00:15:09You're as cute as a button.
00:15:11Aw, thank you.
00:15:13Tayo, what does your family think of your musicality and what you want to do?
00:15:16I think definitely my whole family really supports me, especially my sister.
00:15:21She always comes to my busking.
00:15:22Is that your youngest sister?
00:15:23Yes.
00:15:24Aw, that's so sweet.

00:21:16Like Darwin
00:21:18I never in my wildest dreams
00:21:21Thought that I could do this
00:21:23But
00:21:24My audition
00:21:25Changed my life forever
00:21:29I really believe
00:21:31That it doesn't matter
00:21:32Where you come from

00:22:29I can win Australian Idol
00:22:31I've always dreamed
00:22:32Of being a country artist
00:22:35If I could
00:22:35I'd never get off stage
00:22:38I'm moving constantly
00:22:39Up there

00:22:42And it's cordless
00:22:43I'm everywhere

00:22:48For me
00:22:48I really want to make

00:26:13It's a Melboy takeover here
00:26:15Oh, are we going back?
00:26:18Oh, my God
00:26:19She does
00:26:20She's doing it in heels, guys
00:26:23Woo!
00:26:24Jess, do horn dance, everyone
00:26:26Oh, this is amazing
00:26:28Yes
00:26:30No, no
00:26:31Stop, stop
00:26:34Thank you
00:26:34Oh, thank you, thank you
00:26:36Yes, Jess
00:26:37Yes, Jess
00:26:38Stop
00:26:40So, judging time
00:26:42Judging time
00:26:43Yes, serious time
00:26:44The vocals, Vince
00:26:46Mm-hmm
00:26:47They're not strong
00:26:49Mm-hmm
00:26:50But this show isn't just about the voice
00:26:54This is about the entire package
00:26:56And you have a style
00:26:58You've got a cracking personality
00:27:01Thank you
00:27:02You have an energy that has got star-like qualities
00:27:07And that's what we're trying to find
00:27:09Is someone who people will connect with
00:27:11Yeah
00:27:11I think more importantly, like, you raised energy
00:27:14All three of us had a big smile
00:27:16Yeah
00:27:16On our face
00:27:17Oh, it means a lot
00:27:18Thank you
00:27:19Marsha, you're very quiet
00:27:21I am, because I don't want you to get lost in the shuffle
00:27:23Mm-hmm
00:27:24And for me, you know, I want to hear a voice
00:27:26Your voice was okay, Vince
00:27:28It wasn't bad
00:27:30But really, for me, it wasn't strong enough
00:27:32You know what I mean?
00:27:33Yeah, but he brings something else
00:27:36It's a no from me, but thank you
00:27:39And I'll leave it to you, girl
00:27:40No
00:27:41It's all yours
00:27:42No, no, no
00:27:43Don't leave us, Masha
00:27:44Don't leave us
00:27:44Don't leave us
00:27:45You're on your own
00:27:46I think it was, like, a fun song choice
00:27:49But it probably wasn't the best song to play to us
00:27:56Because it didn't showcase your voice
00:27:59Correct
00:28:01But I think you have the potential to, you know, work and fight
00:28:06I do
00:28:07You know
00:28:08So it's a yes for me
00:28:09Thank you
00:28:10And if you don't work and fight, you just get booted off
00:28:12So
00:28:13That's it
00:28:13That's right
00:28:14It's a yes for me
00:28:14Thank you so much, guys
00:28:16You're welcome
00:28:16So, well done
00:28:17Thank you
00:28:17And we'll see you later on today
00:28:18And maybe you'll take home a golden ticket
00:28:20Maybe
00:28:20Nice work, Vince
00:28:21Thank you so much, guys
00:28:22We'll see you later on
00:28:23See you later
00:28:24Thank you
00:28:24Bye
00:28:25Yeehaw
00:28:25Yeehaw
00:28:26Thanks for the dance
00:28:30Well done
00:28:31He doesn't look like he's got an achy, breaky heart
00:28:36How you going, guys?
00:28:38It means so much to me to get a golden ticket
00:28:40Like, just that next step

00:31:44We might have to start here then
00:31:45Yeah
00:31:46Okay
00:31:47All right
00:31:48Yes
00:31:48I'm ready for this
00:31:50I hope you like it
00:31:53Okay
00:32:02There ain't a reason you and me should be alone
00:32:05Tonight
00:32:06Yeah, baby
00:32:07Tonight
00:32:08Yeah, baby
00:32:09But I got a reason that you should take me home tonight
00:32:17I need a man that thinks is right when it's so wrong tonight
00:32:21Yeah, baby
00:32:22Tonight
00:32:23Yeah, baby
00:32:24Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight
00:32:31It's hard to feel the rush
00:32:34To push the danger
00:32:38I'm gonna run right to turn the edge with you
00:32:42Where we can both fall for a real life
00:32:46I'm on the edge
00:32:48I'm on the edge
00:32:50And I'm hanging on a moment of truth
00:32:53I'm on the edge
00:32:55And I'm hanging on a moment with you
00:33:30I'm on the edge
00:33:31Yes
00:33:32And it's arrived
00:33:35Oh, God
00:33:37Where do I begin?
00:33:40I'm exhausted by that
00:33:41That's a lot of energy
00:33:43She's full on
00:33:44She's full on
00:33:45Did she choreograph that herself?
00:33:47Did she choreograph that herself?
00:33:49I did, yes
00:33:49Yes, honey, you did
00:33:50Thank you
00:33:51Do you do much theatre?
00:33:54Have you done any performances in theatre?
00:33:56Yes, like a little bit
00:33:57I've got a sense of that
00:33:58That that's your kind of domain
00:34:00And that's where you're coming from
00:34:02I think it's just because it's
00:34:03You're so theatrical
00:34:04It would almost be a shame
00:34:07If you didn't do it
00:34:08But unfortunately
00:34:11It's gonna be a no from me
00:34:13Okay
00:34:14It's a no from me, but thank you
00:34:17Sadly, Olivia, it's a no from me
00:34:20Thank you, Livy

00:35:08You got a cool vibe
00:35:09Thank you
00:35:10It's not like it was bad
00:35:11But it's not gonna reach the level of talent

00:45:39Of your program for a second there
00:45:41What I did like is

00:48:06Yup
00:48:08I don't know
00:48:13What do you think
00:48:14You'd have my new
00:48:17I'm not the studio
00:48:19I like that song
00:48:24All you don't, you need to stand, all you fall, when it will, is broken, when it slips from your
00:48:37hands, when there's no time for choking, there's a flow in the flame, no, you don't mean nothing at all
00:48:51to me.
00:48:55No, you don't mean nothing at all to me, but you got what it takes to set me free, oh,
00:49:11you put me down with it to me, yeah.
00:49:25Wow.
00:49:26We weren't ready for that to finish.
00:49:29Yeah, I'm like, more?
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:32Interesting.
00:49:33Well, I didn't, I didn't expect that.
00:49:36No.
00:49:37Yeah, that was really cool.
00:49:38Clara, that was really cool.
00:49:40Very unique, uh, vocals.
00:49:43Mm-hmm.
00:49:43I was not expecting that at all.
00:49:45Yeah, there's something really special and unique here.
00:49:48I, I, I'm, I'm shook.
00:49:51Mm-hmm.
00:49:52You know, I mean, I really like what you brought to the table, and it was mysterious, and what you
00:49:57just did was very cool.
00:49:58Slightly confusing, but very cool.
00:50:02You seem very quiet.
00:50:04Are you nervous, or?
00:50:06I'm nervous.
00:50:07Yeah.
00:50:08Yeah.
00:50:08But it's cause this means so much to me.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:12Okay.
00:50:13Interesting.
00:50:15I think you still feel very green to me.
00:50:21Like, you still feel nervous and a bit not sure.
00:50:26Are you the next Australian Idol?
00:50:32I'm just gonna say no.
00:50:36You need two yeses to get through.
00:50:40Look, I'm just gonna say for me it's a yes.
00:50:42Yes, I'm keen to see more, Marsha.
00:50:45It's a yes from me.
00:50:46Yeah, for real.
00:50:47There you go.
00:50:47Belly dance is in.
00:50:49Yeah, you do that, you know, victory dance, girl.
00:50:51Can you show us the belly dance?
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:56Nice work, Tyra.
00:50:57So we'll see you later on today, and we'll see if you can get yourself a golden ticket.
00:51:01It's gonna be hard, okay?
00:51:03So excited.
00:51:03We'll see you later on, okay?
00:51:04Give it to me, I'm worth it.
00:51:07Baby, I'm worth it.
00:51:09Hey.
00:51:10Hey.
00:51:11Well done.
00:51:11Baby, I'm worth it.
00:51:13Coming up.
00:51:14Ladies and gentlemen, we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:51:18It's uncanny, do you think?
00:51:20Does anyone sing?
00:51:22You're too young.
00:51:23And will one of our teenagers, or crooner James, make the top 30?
00:51:29The one golden ticket that we have here is going to go to.
00:51:41You give me energy.
00:51:45While Jess is taking care of the judging back at Idol HQ, Kyle is on assignment in the nation's
00:51:51capital.
00:51:56Canberra's known for its many, many roundabouts, Questacon, the Royal Australian Mint, Floriard, the big flower show.
00:52:05The list goes on.
00:52:06We'll see about three more things on that list.
00:52:12A lot of people don't know this, but I'm a big fan of flowers.
00:52:16The smell.
00:52:17If you could smell what I could smell, you're in heaven here.
00:52:20And there might be some singers.
00:52:22So let's come and find them.
00:52:25Ladies and gentlemen, ladies and gentlemen, we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:52:31Ladies, don't lie.
00:52:32I know you've got singing chops.
00:52:35Hang on.
00:52:36I've been immortalised here in a statue.
00:52:40It's uncanny, do you think?
00:52:43Oh no.
00:52:45The countdown.
00:52:47At least we know when it's going to happen.
00:52:50So I'm up here and I'm searching as far as the eye can see.
00:52:56We are filming Australian Idol.
00:52:58Does anyone sing?
00:52:59You're too young.
00:53:01So if you're here smelling flowers and you'd like to be singing on stage,
00:53:05we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:53:08Let's see what you've got.
00:53:10Hi there.
00:53:11Nice to meet you, I'm Jack.
00:53:12Jack, nice to meet you.
00:53:13You a singer?
00:53:13Yeah, I am.
00:53:14What do you do for a living?
00:53:15I'm a personal trainer for athletes.
00:53:16I work with athletes, yeah.
00:53:18You looked at me and thought,
00:53:19there's someone that'll just keep paying and paying and paying.
00:53:22Let's go down to the middle of the flower circle
00:53:25and give it your best.
00:53:26And if you've got what it takes,
00:53:27I'll bring you back to Idol HQ
00:53:28and you audition in front of all the judges.
00:53:31Awesome.
00:53:32With one Idol hopeful locked in,
00:53:35Kyle needs to find one more singer to audition.
00:53:40Hi there, how are you?
00:53:41Hi, I'm well done.
00:53:42You look fabulous.
00:53:43Look at you head to toe and pinch.
00:53:44How are you?
00:53:45I saw the ice cream truck and I thought,
00:53:48that's exactly what I need.
00:53:50Okay.
00:53:51I think it stays in.
00:53:52Is that okay?
00:53:53That is fantastic.
00:53:57Do you sing?
00:53:58I do, yeah.
00:53:59You do?
00:54:00Yes.
00:54:00You're not just doing cones,
00:54:01but you're singing as well.
00:54:03I am a singer, yes.
00:54:04Come on out of that truck.
00:54:06Everyone else here in line is going to have to wait.
00:54:08I want the girl to sing.
00:54:09Sorry guys.
00:54:10Her Australian Idol audition starts now.
00:54:16I'm Katie Lee, I'm 28 years old and I'm from Canberra.
00:54:19I work in an ice cream truck because my parents own one
00:54:21and I have to work it.
00:54:24Sorry, it's true.
00:54:26Music is every moment of every day basically.
00:54:29So if I'm not on TikTok singing, then I'm singing in the shower.
00:54:33I'm driving around with music playing.
00:54:35I sing every day.
00:54:36It's my everything.
00:54:38Like it is such a big part of my life.
00:54:42Kyle's search has been successful.
00:54:44Now it's up to Jack and Katie Lee to show him they've got what it takes
00:54:49to be invited back to Idol HQ.
00:54:54All right.
00:54:55And here comes Jack, our personal trainer.
00:54:57Hey, how are you going?
00:54:58How are you mate?
00:54:59Thanks for coming.
00:54:59This is Katie Lee.
00:55:00Katie Lee, this is Jack.
00:55:02Now what I'm here to do is find someone looking for a great singer
00:55:06with a great vibe, a great personality.
00:55:08So that's the mission.
00:55:09Yep.
00:55:10Who'd like to go first?
00:55:11Katie Lee, ladies first.
00:55:12Okay.
00:55:13What are you going to sing for us?
00:55:14I'm going to sing We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande.
00:55:17Oh!
00:55:18You're Australiana Grande.
00:55:21That's what I'd like to think of you as.
00:55:22Okay.
00:55:23Ladies and gentlemen, singing in the tulips is Katie Lee.
00:55:26And here is my, that is the music right there.
00:55:28Oh, you've got a track on there?
00:55:29I've got the track on there for you.
00:55:30Okay.
00:55:31Want me to hit play?
00:55:32Yes, please.
00:55:33Okay, Katie Lee, go for gold.
00:55:37I didn't think you'd understand me.
00:55:46How could you ever even try?
00:55:54I don't want to tiptoe, but I don't want to hide, but I don't want to be this monstrous, but
00:56:02I just want to let this story die, and I'll be alright.
00:56:09We can't be friends, but I'd like to just pretend, you cling to your papers and bands, wait until you
00:56:23like me again, wait for your love, my love, wait for your love.
00:56:34Ooh, keep going.
00:56:36Thank you, that's it.
00:56:38Hey, fantastic job.
00:56:39Better give you that phone there.
00:56:40Oh, thank you.
00:56:41It's already starting to ring.
00:56:42Jack, you're next, my friend.
00:56:44What are you going to sing for us?
00:56:46I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.
00:56:47Now, that's no easy task.
00:56:49Good luck.
00:56:51Here's Jack, everyone.
00:56:55Well, you've done done me and you bet I felt it.
00:56:58I tried to beat you, but you're so hot that I melted.
00:57:02I fell right through the cracks.
00:57:04And now I'm trying to get back.
00:57:08Before the coup done run out, I'll be giving it my best diss and nothing's gonna stop me.
00:57:14But divine intervention, I reckon it's again my turn to win some or learn some.
00:57:22But I won't hesitate no more, no more.
00:57:31It cannot wait.
00:57:35I'm yours.
00:57:38Jack, very nice.
00:57:40I've never been sung to in the middle of a beautiful bunch of flowers by another man.
00:57:44There you go.
00:57:45I appreciate it.
00:57:46Okay, come up, Katie Lee.
00:57:48Hi.
00:57:49Now, my job, as I said, is tough.
00:57:51Because you can both sing.
00:57:53You both look fantastic.
00:57:54I want someone I can play on the radio.
00:57:56Both of you have shown me songs today that I can hear me playing and introducing.
00:58:03I can see a spot for both of you on the show, but I can only bring one.
00:58:07That's the unfortunate part.
00:58:16Jack, I'm so sorry, but it's not going to be you today.
00:58:20I appreciate it, man.
00:58:21Thanks very much.
00:58:21Thanks.
00:58:22Nice to meet you.
00:58:22Nice to meet you as well.
00:58:23Good job.
00:58:23You did really well.
00:58:24Good job.
00:58:25You really did well.
00:58:27That leaves you.
00:58:30Who's your...
00:58:32Who's this random man?
00:58:35Is this your husband?
00:58:37My baby marries me.
00:58:39This is your man?
00:58:40Yes.
00:58:40I'm taking you to idle headquarters.
00:58:42Are you ready?
00:58:42I'm taking you to idle, darling.
00:58:45You'll be well looked after.
00:58:46Don't worry, there's a double bed so you can bring your fella.
00:58:48I do feel some pressure meeting the other judges.
00:58:52I idolise them as well.
00:58:53See you at idle headquarters.
00:58:55Gentlemen, thank you.
00:58:56We'll take good care of her.
00:58:57I really hope that they love my music
00:58:59and I hope that they can see what potential I have.
00:59:07Coming up, will Samela's or Katie Lee's top 30 dreams come true?
00:59:13The singer receiving the golden ticket is going to be...
00:59:28Week one of auditions saw the judges award nine golden tickets
00:59:33to the hottest fresh talent in the competition's history.
00:59:36Yes!
00:59:37What you get is what you see.
00:59:41There ain't nothing more to it.
00:59:43That was incredible.
00:59:45You're exciting.
00:59:46I don't know what I'm crying for.
00:59:51I don't think I could love you more.
00:59:56Charlie, that was beautiful.
00:59:59You sang that with so much real emotion.
01:00:02I'm blown away by you.
01:00:04Wow.
01:00:06And now Jess, Marsha and Amy have the difficult decision to make.
01:00:13Who will join them in the top 30?
01:00:20It's been a baptism of fire for special guest judge Jess Malboy.
01:00:26But she's helped to unearth seven potential idols.
01:00:30Guys, I just want to say it has been so amazing being with you both.
01:00:34I want to stay with you.
01:00:35Yes, we have.
01:00:36We have some singers.
01:00:37Yeah.
01:00:39She was interesting.
01:00:40Great spirit.
01:00:42But this boy.
01:00:43Oh.
01:00:44I can't get over here.
01:00:45He survived.
01:00:46Kyle's found this girl that he's auditioned in Canberra.
01:00:58I mean, we've got a really, really tough few decisions to make.
01:01:03We do.
01:01:03You think some of our singers are starting to question if they've done enough?
01:01:07Yeah.
01:01:07I feel like the reality is really starting to sink in for these guys now.
01:01:12This is full on.
01:01:13This is the most crazy experience in the world.
01:01:16I'm a little bit worried.
01:01:17The competition feels absolutely real.
01:01:20And the standard is so high.
01:01:22Bring them in.
01:01:24Up first to find out their fate are two teenage dynamos, Tayo and Ava.
01:01:30And Adelaide's crooner, James.
01:01:34Cause I've got you under my skin.
01:01:40Just take your turn.
01:01:43You are my treasure.
01:01:45You are my treasure.
01:01:47This is insane.
01:01:48You are my treasure.
01:01:49Yeah, you, you, you, you.
01:01:53I'm feeling pretty nervous.
01:01:55I think Ava is really big competition.
01:01:57Especially for me cause we're similar ages.
01:01:59I hope I've done enough for the golden ticket.
01:02:02I'm crossing my fingers.
01:02:04There's so much more that I want to prove to be deserving of this spot.
01:02:10I cannot wait to show myself as a solo artist.
01:02:14My real passion is obviously music.
01:02:16I always dreamed of having my name in lights and I think it's time for me to shine.
01:02:21It's time.
01:02:23Good luck you guys.
01:02:31Hey, hey.
01:02:32What a lineup.
01:02:34Hello.
01:02:34Hello.
01:02:34Hey guys.
01:02:36Hello.
01:02:38Okay.
01:02:39So we have Tayo, our 15 year old busker.
01:02:42James, our pest control crooner.
01:02:45That's me.
01:02:45And Ava, 17 year old kids entertainer ready to take on the world as a solo artist.
01:02:53So this was really hard because even though you're all different, the performances were
01:03:01so good.
01:03:03It made it really, really difficult.
01:03:07We're going to have to say goodbye to one of you.
01:03:09Just straight up.
01:03:13For one of you, the nerves kind of took over, which is such a drag.
01:03:19I'm sorry to say that that person is going to be...
01:03:30James.
01:03:32I'm really sorry, buddy.
01:03:33Please keep going with everything.
01:03:35Yeah.
01:03:36And hopefully we'll see you again soon.
01:03:37Take care.
01:03:39I'll see you guys.
01:03:39Thank you, James.
01:03:42That leaves our teenagers.
01:03:44I mean, Jess, you were a teenager when you were on Idol.
01:03:46Yeah.
01:03:47You know what this feels like.
01:03:48I was.
01:03:49I just turned 16 and, you know, I think it's...
01:03:53You're in that place where you know you're ready, you're ready.
01:03:57And you both have that.
01:04:00You're both in a space and a place where you can really develop and you can learn more and be
01:04:07out there more.
01:04:07So congratulations on where you are right now.
01:04:10Really appreciate it.
01:04:11You're both very strong, very capable artists.
01:04:16The one golden ticket that we have here...
01:04:22is going to go...
01:04:24is going to go...
01:04:25to.
01:04:37You're both very strong, very capable artists.
01:05:04Thank you so much.
01:05:07Thank you so much.
01:05:10I really appreciate it.
01:05:10I'm having you here.
01:05:11Thank you so much.
01:05:13Well, the 15-year-old busker, hey?
01:05:16Yes.
01:05:16Come and get your golden ticket.
01:05:18Oh, thank you.
01:05:20Can you believe that?
01:05:21Oh, thank you so much.
01:05:22You're cool.
01:05:23Dude.
01:05:26Look, the top 30 is not going to be easy, but I have a feeling you're going to be okay.
01:05:32I'm going to try not to disappoint.
01:05:33Okay.
01:05:34Bring it.
01:05:35Kill it, man.
01:05:36Thank you so much.
01:05:37Go celebrate.
01:05:39See you in top 30.
01:05:40Yes.
01:05:41What a little legend.
01:05:42He is so fearless.
01:05:44Ready?
01:05:51Just so pumped.
01:05:52This golden ticket means everything to me.
01:05:55I knew it.
01:05:55I knew it.
01:05:56I'm going to practice every single night, even after school.
01:06:00I get home.
01:06:00I want to chew.
01:06:01No.
01:06:01I'm practicing.
01:06:02You got your golden ticket, buddy?
01:06:04Yes.
01:06:06Top 30.
01:06:08Up next to face the judges are Katie Lee, Kyle's wild card from Canberra, and Samela,
01:06:15the Adelaide mum who's put her dreams on hold.
01:06:21Hello, ladies.
01:06:23Hi.
01:06:23Hi.
01:06:24Hello.
01:06:25What a day.
01:06:26What a day it's been.
01:06:27Incredible.
01:06:29Tonight, we have one golden ticket remaining, so we want to make sure we make the right decision.
01:06:37Look, Katie Lee, we have seen a video of you auditioning, but it's not quite the same unless
01:06:42you're in the room, so I just would love it if you could please serenade us in real life.
01:06:47Yeah.
01:06:47Is that okay?
01:06:49It's okay.
01:06:49When you're ready.
01:06:53I have died every day waiting for you, darling, don't be afraid.
01:07:02I have loved you for a thousand years.
01:07:07I love you for a thousand more.
01:07:15Beautiful.
01:07:18Samela, can you just remind us of your sound?
01:07:22Absolutely.
01:07:25Oh, baby, what you've done to me.
01:07:29Oh, you made me feel so good inside.
01:07:34And I, I just want to be close to you.
01:07:39You make me feel so alive.
01:07:41And you made me feel, yeah, you made me feel, yeah, you made me feel like a natural woman.
01:07:54Just give us a couple of seconds.
01:07:58Also, that's true, though.
01:07:59This is tough, but I think...
01:08:01You're okay?
01:08:03Yes, I'm okay.
01:08:03You sounded great.
01:08:04Yeah, that was amazing.
01:08:06Everybody agree?
01:08:07I agree.
01:08:07We're all good.
01:08:11You know, undoubtedly, you both have beautiful voices, but I feel one is far more connected
01:08:20than the other.
01:08:23The singer receiving the gold ticket is...
01:08:32Samela.
01:08:34Yeah.
01:08:35Well done.
01:08:35Thank you so much.
01:08:36Thank you, Katie Lee.
01:08:37Thank you very much.
01:08:38It was nice to have met you.
01:08:39Lovely to meet you guys.
01:08:41Thank you so much.
01:08:43This is going to be big news at the school assembly, isn't it?
01:08:46Thank you so much.
01:08:47No, thank you.
01:08:48You are unbelievable.
01:08:50That's awesome.
01:08:50You got this really cool car.
01:08:54Yeah.
01:08:54I appreciate it.
01:08:55Feel good?
01:08:56I feel great.
01:08:57Okay, good.
01:08:57Yeah, mission.
01:08:58This is so good.
01:09:00Thank you, Samela.
01:09:01Yeah, you're a one-off, man.
01:09:03Thank you, guys.
01:09:06Don't give up.
01:09:07Don't give up.
01:09:08I got down.
01:09:09Oh, congratulations.
01:09:11You did it.
01:09:12Thank you so much.
01:09:12Oh, you did it.
01:09:13Ooh.
01:09:14Being in the top 30 means the world to me.
01:09:16Just reinforces that self-belief that I can absolutely do this and I was born for this.
01:09:21You deserve it.
01:09:22You are amazing.
01:09:23I'm so happy for you.
01:09:27Last to learn their fate are two performers who left a big impression.
01:09:32Belly dancer Tyra and cheeky cowboy Vince.
01:09:41Oh, that's a cool little pair up.
01:09:43I know, isn't it?
01:09:44Wow.
01:09:45Welcome back, guys.
01:09:46Okay, so we have Tyra, our belly dancer, came in in the blue veil, sang Nelly Furtado
01:09:52and our cheeky cowboy Vincey boy over there that got Jess up line dancing.
01:09:57Yes.
01:09:58I did.
01:09:59Literally made my day today.
01:10:02You know, both of you didn't have perfect auditions.
01:10:06There's still lots to work on when it comes to your performances.
01:10:12We based our decision on someone we feel knows their brand and can captivate an audience.
01:10:22So, the singer receiving the golden ticket is going to be our cheeky cowboy Vince.
01:10:35Where do I go from?
01:10:36You guys, you could be in suspense a little bit.
01:10:39Yee-haw!
01:10:41Tyra, thank you so much for everything.
01:10:43Thanks.
01:10:43We appreciate it.
01:10:44Okay.
01:10:45Thank you, baby.
01:10:46Well done.

01:11:02Thank you so much.
01:11:03You're more than welcome.
01:11:04You honestly were a highlight of the day.
01:11:06This is hitting you a little bit.
01:11:07It is.
01:11:08It's...
01:11:08You'll be the top 30.
01:11:10Oh, you...

01:11:35Tayo, Vince and Samella join this year's top 30.
01:11:40Could one of them follow in Jess's footsteps and go all the way?
01:11:46Wow.
01:11:47Nice work, ladies.
01:11:48We did it.
01:11:49Bang, bang.
01:11:50That was really, really great.
01:11:53And just seeing some amazing things come through.
01:11:55We don't have to get Jess in on this yet.
01:11:57Yeah.
01:11:58Oh, mate.
