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.

00:05:41Wow.
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, thanks.
00:05:53Like, just 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 Born This Way.
00:06:08Okay, great.
00:06:09Amazing.
00:06:10Another good one.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:15My mama told me when I was young
00:06:18We were up on 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
00:07:10Ain'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!
00:07:21Oh 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 going to be tough
00:07:50The thing is
00:07:52With yours, Jamie, right
00:07:53You've got all this charisma
00:07:55And so much talent
00:07:57And you really went for it
00:07:58And Lydia
00:07:59You'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
00:08:06There was one
00:08:07That I feel had
00:08:11I guess a stronger vocal
00:08:12And the person who I feel
00:08:17Showcase 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
00:08:28For a chance for the golden ticket
00:08:38It's gonna be Lydia
00:08:41Well done
00:08:42I want to 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
00:09:01I
00:09:02I know it's wild
00:09:07God damn
00:09:08Lydia
00:09:09I will see you at Idol HQ
00:09:11Well done
00:09:12Thank you
00:09:13And how do I get off this thing?
00:09:14Get me out of here

00:09:21Wicked loves it
00:09:24You are an absolute superstar
00:09:26Your voice is a stunner
00:09:28Never seen anything like that in my life
00:09:3121 exceptional performers
00:09:34Have wowed the judges
00:09:35And earned a golden ticket
00:09:37So with only nine spots in the top 30 remaining
00:09:41And the standards so incredibly high
00:09:44Today's Idol hopefuls must deliver nothing less than a spectacular audition
00:09:59Oh my god
00:10:00Oh 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
00:10:11And now here I am
00:10:12She will have a nervous wait before the judges decide if she will get one of only nine 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
00:10:40Can 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
00:11:02I am 18 years old and I live in Brisbane, Queensland
00:11:04Wait Ollie, you gonna play?
00:11:06No, I'm practicing

00:11:09I 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

00:17:08A long wait
00:17:09To learn
00:17:10Whether they'll claim
00:17:11One of the only
00:17:12Nine golden tickets
00:17:14On offer
00:17:15Go inspect

00:17:29Has the judges
00:17:30Under their complete control
00:17:34Don't leave me hanging
00:17:35Like this bro
00:17:37Then
00:17:38A young hopeful
00:17:39There could be a time
00:17:40In my life
00:17:40Where I literally
00:17:41Cannot 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
00:17:54When 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
00:18:03Any of your minds
00:18:04Because I think
00:18:05She's really good
00:18:06Yeah no
00:18:06She's good
00:18:07But it's through
00:18:08The whole package
00:18:08Plus
00:18:09Who makes
00:18:10A shock return
00:18:12Wait a minute
00:18:13Why do I know you
00:18:14Have you already
00:18:15Auditioned
00:18:16What are you doing
00:18:16Back here
00:18:17But will they get
00:18:19A second chance
00:18:20At idle glory
00:18:21No
00:18:22You fluffed it
00:18:24That
00:18:24Made me feel
00:18:25So uneasy
00:18:29Nothing's sweet about me
00:18:32Nothing's sweet about me
00:18:36Yeah
00:18:40I think that shit

00:19:09For the afternoon
00:19:10There's lollies
00:19:10All over my butt
00:19:13While Marcia 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

00:19:57Whoa
00:19:59And don't it feel
00:20:02Now don't it feel good
00:20:06It 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
00:20:13We don't have that saying here
00:20:15Only the winners are the winners
00:20:16Yes that's right
00:20:18Zombie
00:20:20Zombie

00:20:35It's a no from me too
00:20:36But thank you so much
00:20:37I want individuals
00:20:38I want people who are talented
00:20:40I want people who really want
00:20:41This for a living
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?
00:20:49I 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
00:21:02I 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 as part of your teaching?
00:21:11I actually use it as an ice breaker
00:21:14Fantastic idea
00:21:15Yes
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
00:21:20Hold on
00:21:20Let me pull up my flute
00:21:22And beat them
00:21:23And
00:21:23Nothing like that
00:21:25And beat the trap
00:21:26Out of these kids
00:21:27I play it with them
00:21:29And we play like a musical statue

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 only
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
00:25:14Oh hey
00:25:16Hello
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 by The Four Tops
00:25:30Great
00:25:31Oh no one's done that yet
00:25:32I sing it at age camp for 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?
00:25:41Why Australian Idol?
00:25:42Um well
00:25:43At the end of last year
00:25:44I found out I lost half of my hearing
00:25:46Oh wow
00:25:47Um yes it's been pretty tough
00:25:49Hang on was that a slow decline or it just happened overnight?
00:25:53Yeah we 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 maybe 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 bowled my eyes out
00:26:08I literally was like how 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 where I literally cannot sing
00:26:25Because I can't hear myself
00:26:30Does it affect your singing or do you?
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 now
00:26:48Get 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
00:27:15And your life is still with much confusion
00:27:19And happiness is just an illusion
00:27:22Oh reach out
00:27:25Reach out for me
00:27:27Reach out for me
00:27:33And I'll be there
00:27:36With a love that will shelter you
00:27:42And 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
00:27:54And now you're afraid
00:27:57Darling reach out for me
00:28:02Reach out for me
00:28:03Reach out
00:28:09I'll be there
00:28:12With a love that will come to you
00:28:15And I'll be there
00:28:19To cherish and care for you
00:28:26Thank you
00:28:28Wow
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
00:28:38Were you out skipping in the street?
00:28:39Yeah, you know it
00:28:40What do the oldies think
00:28:41When you go and play in the home
00:28:42They love it
00:28:44Yeah
00:28:44They get up dancing
00:28:45Oh yeah
00:28:45It triggers memories for some of them
00:28:47Like myself
00:28:48Like I just said
00:28:49Music is a miracle
00:28:50It is
00:28:51In a lot of people's lives
00:28:52Yeah
00:28:52It is
00:28:53But 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
00:29:24That'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 it's through the whole package
00:29:33You entertaining Nana on her last days
00:29:35Might be wonderful
00:29:37But like 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 that 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
00:29:54Special about you
00:29:56You know, Marsha is right
00:29:57But to me
00:29:58I think you're a bit of a diamond
00:30:01And I would really, really, really, really
00:30:05Love to 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 eat
00:30:13Really?
00:30:13Really?
00:30:14No
00:30:14Dad
00:30:15Dad
00:30:16Dad
00:30:16Mum
00:30:16Dad
00:30:17Please
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'll 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
00:31:07So we're going to see you later on today
00:31:09We got through this part
00:31:11We got through this part
00:31:12We did it
00:31:13We did it
00:31:14And thank you
00:31:15See ya
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?
00:31:24Yeah, 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, won you over
00:31:36She's coming back
00:31:38Got mum and dad back on my side
00:31:40God, I'm going to kill this child
00:31:42Alright
00:31:43Let's strangle her to death and 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 a 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'll 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?
00:33:24Long Ridge
00:33:24Long Ridge
00:33:25I already love you guys
00:33:28I'm Michelle
00:33:28I'm 23
00:33:29And I'm from Long Ridge, 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
00:33:515.05, probably new 4.13
00:33:52Yeah, gotcha, Rochelle
00:33:53I spend my days driving a truck
00:33:56Or driving a great truck
00:33:59I do love it
00:34:01Ah, McCole
00:34:02It's great
00:34:03Like, we're all mates out there
00:34:04Sing it, Hobbsy
00:34:05Sing it, Timmy
00:34:06Yeah, sing it
00:34:07I got into music because of my nana
00:34:11My nana was very encouraging with my music
00:34:14And she gave me my first guitar when I was a teenager
00:34:17She'd be like, Rochelle, bring it over
00:34:18And 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 I would have had a singing voice
00:34:30She's like, it's kind of shaped me into what I do today
00:34:34And what does the song mean to you?
00:34:36It means a lot
00:34:36Um, yeah, there's a lot that's happened in my life
00:34:40Yeah
00:34:41But I feel like this song can 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
00:35:02Hi
00:35:02Hi, how are you?
00:35:04Good, how are you?
00:35:05Good, thank you
00:35:06That's good

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?
00:35:15Queensland, yeah
00:35:16Man, that's in the middle of nowhere
00:35:18Yeah
00:35:18You were 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?
00:35:24Um, so I drive trucks and graters
00:35:27Sick
00:35:28Yeah
00:35:28The big monster things
00:35:29Like 300 ton
00:35:31Wow
00:35:32Very 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, I 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
00:35:51Um, if 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, it'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 my nen not that long ago
00:36:20And it's weird what happens, hey
00:36:22It does, yeah
00:36:23It's just like, man, 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 when 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, I hope I haven't rocked you there
00:36:40I'm sorry
00:36:41I'll be fine, just put it together
00:36:43What are you going to sing?
00:36:45I'm going to sing Over the Rainbow
00:36:46Oh, no, you're going to kill me
00:36:48Yeah, my nana
00:36:49Love Over the Rainbow
00:36:50You know what?
00:36:51That was my mum's favourite song
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 a little
00:37:08Okay
00:37:09Okay
00:37:16Somewhere
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
00:37:46And wake up where the clouds are far
00:37:49Behind me
00:37:55Oh, sun
00:37:57Where over the rainbow
00:38:05Bluebirds fly
00:38:12Fly over the rainbow
00:38:16Oh, I
00:38:19Oh, I
00:38:20Oh, I
00:38:20Can't
00:38:21I
00:38:30Made me all teary
00:38:37How does it feel?
00:38:38How does it feel to do that?
00:38:39Um, 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
00:38:51And so I totally understand why you sang the way you did
00:38:54But that was really lovely, you know, Rochelle
00:38:56So you should feel really good about the audition
00:38:59Thank you
00:38:59I appreciate it
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
00:39:14No questions
00:39:15Nothing 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
00:39:25Thank you
00:39:26Three 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
00:39:39That you played that
00:39:40What?
00:39:42Is that your Nan?
00:39:43Yeah
00:39:43This was my
00:39:45This was my Nan
00:39:47Oh
00:39:50Somewhere Over the Rainbow
00:39:51Was a really big song
00:39:53In my life with her
00:39:55And played at her funeral
00:39:59The second I hear that song
00:40:01I'm like
00:40:03And it was just so good
00:40:04Yeah
00:40:07I know what you're going through, babes
00:40:10You did so well
00:40:11Thank you
00:40:11We'll see you again soon
00:40:16I got
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
00:40:34In front of people?
00:40:35No, actually
00:40:36You're my biggest crowd
00:40:37Nervous first timers
00:40:39Hit the idle stage
00:40:40This is the first real time
00:40:42I'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
00:40:55I 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 and they said no
00:41:21But I'm back again because I really want this
00:41:23But will it be
00:41:26Redemption
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 nice
00:42:01Oh sorry
00:42:02Whoops
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 is Luke
00:42:13Have you had much performance practice
00:42:15In 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
00:42:24This is the first real time I've sung in front of anyone
00:42:27Wow really?
00:42:28Also no performance in front of it
00:42:30This is it
00:42:31This is it
00:42:31They've had no experience
00:42:33Singing 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
00:42:43I 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
00:42:50It's bold
00:42:51But it's a bit premature
00:42:53Sweaty palms
00:42:59Okay
00:43:06I need a hero
00:43:10I'm holding out for a hero till the morning night
00:43:14He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon
00:43:17Gotta 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
00:43:28It was on the wobble
00:43:29Yes
00:43:30I think as it were
00:43:31We can only judge what we see today
00:43:33And the nerves did just swallow you up
00:43:36Yeah
00:43:36I'm gonna have to say no
00:43:37And I know we weren't perfect
00:43:40But I've never felt this way
00:43:43Cause you said forever
00:43:46Now I drive along
00:43:47Pass your street
00:43:49It's a really big difference
00:43:51Hearing a track
00:43:54Of a singer you really dig
00:43:56And then you come here
00:43:58And there's nobody helping you out
00:44:00And so you're standing there butt naked
00:44:02What she's saying is
00:44:04It's not good enough
00:44:06But in a lovely way
00:44:08At least audition in front of someone else
00:44:11Before you show up to us
00:44:13Anyone
00:44:13Even at the RSPCA in front of all the cats
00:44:16Someone
00:44:18What are you gonna sing today?
00:44:19Today I'll be singing Sam Smith
00:44:21I'm not the only one
00:44:22Beautiful
00:44:23Interesting
00:44:23Very 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
00:44:31When you ready
00:44:40You and me
00:44:42We made a vow
00:44:46For better or for worse
00:44:52And I can't believe you let me down
00:44:56But the proof's in the way it hurts
00:45:01You say I'm crazy
00:45:07Cause you don't think I know what you've done
00:45:13But 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 quite
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
00:45:37That we all sound great in the shower
00:45:38It is
00:45:38It'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
00:46:09Yeah
00:46:09And 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
00:46:16Correct
00:46:16As to why oh 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 know
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
00:46:56Give it up for Luke everyone
00:46:58March up
00:46:58I don't know
00:46:59So wait what have you
00:46:59Have you said
00:47:00Bob said yes
00:47:01He 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
00:47:21Would it go on
00:47:22Yes
00:47:22I'll take you
00:47:23Three yeses
00:47:25Why not
00:47:26From an unexperienced
00:47:29Unproven
00:47:30Potential star
00:47:31Luke
00:47:32Looks like
00:47:34You're at least true to the next round
00:47:35Will you get the golden ticket
00:47:37You might snuff out then
00:47:39But
00:47:40You've done something today
00:47:41That'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
00:47:45Thanks Luke
00:47:45Congratulations
00:47:48He 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

00:48:19His nerves finally begin to settle

00:51:19I just want to praise you
00:51:23Just want to praise you
00:51:23In the corners of my mind
00:51:25In the corners of my mind
00:51:25I just can't seem to find
00:51:27The way to believe
00:51:28That I can't think of
00:51:30Because you see I have been done for so long the lack of hope is gone
00:51:36But as I live in my hands, I understand that I should praise you through my circle days
00:51:42Till the shackles on my feet so I can dance
00:51:45She said that she should be out of Destiny's Charm
00:51:47I just wanna praise you

00:51:55And I'm gonna praise you
00:51:58I'm gonna praise you
00:52:00Be through the fire and the rain
00:52:04Pounding every kind of way
00:52:06God has broken every chain
00:52:08So let me know right now
00:52:11The shackles on my feet so I can dance
00:52:14I just wanna praise you
00:52:17I just wanna praise you
00:52:19Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:52:21Broke the chain now I can live my hands
00:52:24And I'm gonna praise you
00:52:27I'm gonna, I'm gonna praise you
00:52:33Oh, thank 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 I'm looking for
00:52:43love the look
00:52:45with a capital L-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. What do you think, Marsha?
00:53:01Okay, I'll talk to you about your voice.
00:53:03Will I? Okay, so
00:53:04I know the song. I've sung the song and I've recorded
00:53:07that song. Okay?
00:53:08So, and Mary and Mary, they're the bomb.
00:53:11They'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
00:53:18vowels and not stay in that
00:53:20passage in your head. Does that make sense?
00:53:23Yeah. And so, if you're going to
00:53:24sing those songs, that's how you should sing
00:53:26that song. Okay? Otherwise, I can't
00:53:28really fault what you did.
00:53:30The bottom line is, I think you did a good job
00:53:32and you look great and you're a vibe.
00:53:35So, it's a yes.
00:53:36Dale!
00:53:38We keep saying people, like, go 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, I'm comfortable
00:53:46right here. I'm going to focus on my
00:53:48vocals. I've got
00:53:49a couple of dance moves that 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.
00:53:58Okay, Alita, well done.
00:53:59At the end of today, we
00:54:00hand out the golden tickets to the best of the best.
00:54:04Hopefully, you get one.
00:54:05Thank you so much.
00:54:06Good luck. See you.
00:54:06Thanks for coming.
00:54:07Thank you, Alita.
00:54:07Appreciate it.
00:54:08See you soon.
00:54:09See you.
00:54:10Bye.
00:54:17Oh, my gosh.
00:54:18Amazing.
00:54:19Congratulations.
00:54:21Congratulations.
00:54:21Oh, my gosh.
00:54:22Oh, my gosh.
00:54:28Is it yes, yes, done?
00:54:29Yes.
00:54:30Three yeses.
00:54:31Three yeses.
00:54:34How do you feel it went?
00:54:37It was surreal.
00:54:38Yeah?
00:54:38I loved it.
00:54:40Yeah.
00:54:41You sang the hell out of it.
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 is not for nothing.
00:55:09And next.
00:55:11I'm Asher, and I'm back.
00:55:12I auditioned once, and they said no, but I'm back again because I really want this.
00:55:17That first audition, I went in there, everything was so real.
00:55:21Seeing the judges there, I was starstruck.
00:55:24Your idol, put your hands up, man.
00:55:26Reach for the sky.
00:55:27Oh, shit.
00:55:30I just froze and completely forgot my lyrics.
00:55:34Man, we've run into the streets so hard.
00:55:36I love that remix version where the words were just missing.
00:55:39I had this chance and I just blew it.
00:55:41Unfortunately, it's a no from me.
00:55:42I'm not saying never, okay?
00:55:44I'm saying right now.
00:55:45Just know that it's a crappy day and get up tomorrow and keep going.
00:55:52That's all you can do.
00:55:53Just keep going.
00:55:54Hopefully when they see me again, they see how driven and how badly I want this.
00:56:00Can't get enough of Australian Idol?
00:56:03Well, how about some very special kids' auditions?
00:56:06You like singing?
00:56:07Yeah, singing it's my life.
00:56:09Stacked with young stars.
00:56:11When I hear that we're so blowin', I hang my head and cry.
00:56:17Watch what happens when the cutest kids sing their hearts out.
00:56:23When I hear that we're so blowin', I hang my head and cry.
00:56:23For your Australian Idol judges.
00:56:26What?
00:56:26Yes, girl.
00:56:28What are you feeling?
00:56:29You're feeling good?
00:56:30Are they happy tears?
00:56:32Available to watch now.
00:56:33You did such a great job.
00:56:34On 7 Plus and YouTube.
00:56:37I got you all night.
00:56:40Come on next to me.
00:56:42I'm never feeling...
00:56:43I used to put gummy bears in my frozen Coke at the cinema.
00:56:46Like, or frozen strawberry.
00:56:48I couldn't handle the cross-pollination of textures.
00:56:50Oh, really?
00:56:51I can't even have anything on my ice cream.
00:56:54You can't have, like, ice cream.
00:56:55Like a warmed-up piece of mud cake with ice cream.
00:56:59Oh, I could, but I'd eat them all separately.
00:57:02Separately.
00:57:03Yeah.
00:57:03You...
00:57:03That is...
00:57:04Yeah.
00:57:05Man, that's weird.
00:57:06Like, I...
00:57:07In my mind, my dinner's, like, on a jail tray.
00:57:10All one at a time.
00:57:12As the judges ready themselves for the last few singers of the day...
00:57:18The waiting room is already full with talented performers.
00:57:23All hoping they can grab one of only nine golden tickets remaining.
00:57:28There's not many of them, guys.
00:57:30Yeah.
00:57:31And after refusing to take no for an answer,
00:57:34our next singer is desperate to join them.
00:57:37Go, it's a comeback.
00:57:39Wheel it, I had to run it.
00:57:40We're back.
00:57:41Part two.
00:57:43Here we use round two.
00:57:44There we go.
00:57:45Peace back.
00:57:47You good?
00:57:48I'm good.
00:57:49Are you ready?
00:57:50I'm ready.
00:57:50Are you sure?
00:57:51Yeah.
00:57:52How are the nerves?
00:57:53A little bit, but...
00:57:54A little bit?
00:57:54Well, you're getting a second shot at this.
00:57:56Yes.
00:57:56Which, you know, it doesn't happen.
00:57:59I really hope you can go in there and absolutely smash it.
00:58:03My love for music is way stronger than my fear of failing again.
00:58:08You got this, buddy.
00:58:09Good luck in there.
00:58:10Have fun.
00:58:12That first audition, it was all a blur,
00:58:14but the judges, they said there was potential,
00:58:15and if I want to do music full-time,
00:58:18go ahead and give it everything I've got.
00:58:20I'm back today to prove to the judges how badly I want this.
00:58:23He's had a picture of the judges on the smart TV
00:58:27and practising in front of that, so he can...
00:58:30Oh, really?
00:58:32Trying to calm his nerves.
00:58:34Yeah.
00:58:39Hello.
00:58:40Hey, how are you guys?
00:58:41Hey, mate. Good. How are you?
00:58:42Wait a minute.
00:58:43Good.
00:58:46Why do I know you?
00:58:47Have you already auditioned?
00:58:49Yeah, I did.
00:58:50You did It's Tricky.
00:58:52Yeah.
00:58:52Oh, yes.
00:58:52And you forgot the words and you fluffed it.
00:58:54Oh, that's right.
00:58:56That's me.
00:58:57What are you doing back here?
00:58:58I was just so mad at myself
00:59:00that I couldn't show you who I was
00:59:02and what I can do.
00:59:03You fluffed it and you...
00:59:04Yeah, pretty much.
00:59:05Where are you from?
00:59:06Where are you from?
00:59:06I'm from Brisbane.
00:59:08Did you fly back here or did you just...
00:59:11I flew back.
00:59:12You flew back here.
00:59:13Bro, that's impressive.
00:59:16I like that.
00:59:16What's going to be different this time?
00:59:18Is it a different song?
00:59:19I changed the song.
00:59:19I'm doing Hip Hop Hooray by Naughty by Nature.
00:59:22Oh, I love that song.
00:59:23Do you remember the words to this song?
00:59:26We'll find out soon.
00:59:27Yes, we will.
00:59:29I do, yeah.
00:59:29Man, I really hope this works out for you
00:59:31because to fly home and fly back,
00:59:33I mean, I love the passion and determination,
00:59:35but obviously we just have to do our job.
00:59:38At least I know I put my best foot forward.
00:59:41Well, mate, your place in this competition
00:59:44rests on the performance you're about to give.
00:59:46Good luck, my friend.
00:59:50Do a picture on my morning,
00:59:52but you couldn't make my day.
00:59:53Hey, I'm rocking and you're yawning,
00:59:54but you never look my way.
00:59:57All right, let's go.
00:59:58Are you afraid of what I made?
00:59:59I played it, plus a funky fist,
01:00:00so simple, flips and tricks.
01:00:01Let's do this.
01:00:26Let's do this.
01:00:32I'm afraid of what I made and played it,
01:00:33plus a funky fist,
01:00:34so save your lips and tricks
01:00:35for the music, hip-hop.
01:00:36Hooray!
01:00:37Ho!
01:00:39Hey!
01:00:40Ho!
01:00:40Hip-hop, hooray!
01:00:42Ho!
01:00:43Yeah, yeah.
01:00:46You heard a lot about a brother
01:00:47gaining more ground,
01:00:48being low down.
01:00:49I do the showdown with any little bro around.
01:00:51Yo, I want to know who you believe in.
01:00:53Me, oh, funny reasons.
01:00:54Even when I'm sleeping,
01:00:55you think I'm cheating.
01:00:56You said you know me, Mr. OPP, man.
01:00:58Yo, PP, man, you couldn't see me, man.
01:01:01You should've known when I ain't hit it and slipped
01:01:03that I was with it a bit,
01:01:04not to consider the rep.
01:01:06Hey!
01:01:06Ooh, he's got bars.
01:01:08That's what I wish I could rap.
01:01:10Hip-hop, hooray!
01:01:11Yo!
01:01:12Hey!
01:01:14Ho!
01:01:14Smooth it out now.
01:01:21It's done.
01:01:23Oh!
01:01:28Well.
01:01:31Do you know what wasn't awesome?
01:01:33Is watching you mentally prepare in front of us.
01:01:36I threw a picture on my morning,
01:01:38but you couldn't make my day.
01:01:39Hey, I'm rocking and you're yawning,
01:01:40but you never look my way.
01:01:43That made me feel so uneasy.
01:01:47This is a performance, Asher.
01:01:49This is...
01:01:50I 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,
01:01:55I 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
01:02:03we see you once, you're great,
01:02:04the next time, not good,
01:02:06then you're good, then you're not good.
01:02:07Like, because you strutting around doing your thing,
01:02:10you're on time, you knew all the words.
01:02:13Very believable sounding artist.
01:02:15This 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.
01:02:23You know what?
01:02:24I started my career from Brisbane
01:02:29about your age.
01:02:30A year younger,
01:02:30and I didn't take no for an answer either.
01:02:32I got knocked back, knocked back, knocked back,
01:02:34just kept powering, powering.
01:02:36What have you got to lose?
01:02:37A large part of this industry is passion.
01:02:39And what you just did,
01:02:41just coming back here,
01:02:43I'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,
01:02:48listen, I can do this.
01:02:50You beat yourself up at home
01:02:51and that was the right thing to do.
01:02:53It's a yes for me.
01:02:55You need two yeses.
01:02:57What do you reckon, Carl?
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.
01:03:30We'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?
01:03:38So regardless of what goes on here,
01:03:41remember what you did for yourself.
01:03:42You stepped up and you came back.
01:03:44I'm impressed with you, Asher.
01:03:46Thanks.
01:03:47Three yeses, my friend.
01:03:48Three yeses.
01:03:49Plane ride?
01:03:49Yeah.
01:03:50So who's with you now?
01:03:51Just mum.
01:03:52You brought mum this time.
01:03:53Go and let your mum know you've got three yeses.
01:03:56I'm so excited for mum.
01:03:56Thank 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 her.
01:04:07Three yeses!
01:04:08Yes!
01:04:12Oh, buddy.
01:04:14Oh, no, I can't pick you up.
01:04:17Oh, well done, dude.
01:04:19Congratulations.
01:04:20Are you happy you came back?
01:04:21I'm so happy.
01:04:23I'm so happy.
01:04:25I'm so glad you got to come back
01:04:27and give it another shot
01:04:28and 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,
01:04:42that's just pure heart.
01:04:44If that was my kid, I'd be saying,
01:04:46listen, you gave it, you've got to know.
01:04:50We ain't going back on the plane again.
01:04:51You must have been relentless.
01:04:53Especially at 16, to be like,
01:04:55Dad, I'm going home.
01:04:56No, I know I can do better.
01:04:57Yeah, good on you.
01:04:58What a legend.
01:05:00Next, after the penultimate day of auditions,
01:05:04standards have soared
01:05:06and seven extraordinary singers have emerged.
01:05:10Good 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,
01:05:28one of you guys really stood out.
01:05:30The singer that is going to receive
01:05:33the golden ticket
01:05:35is going to be...
01:05:43The penultimate day of auditions
01:05:45has 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
01:06:01just how strong the competition is.
01:06:03Well, they're all great,
01:06:04but 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
01:06:11in the top 30,
01:06:13only nine tickets remain,
01:06:15leaving the judges to make some tough calls.
01:06:20I can't make stronger, yeah.
01:06:23Just looking at me now.
01:06:28This won't be easy.
01:06:30And 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,
01:06:39they could be a surprise package, these two.
01:06:42They could be.
01:06:43Great sound, which was refreshing.
01:06:46Top of the Harbour Bridge.
01:06:47I auditioned Lydia.
01:06:51Oh, that's nice.
01:06:54And she's got BMX Bandit,
01:06:56early Nicole Kidman vibes going on.
01:06:58Yes, yeah, she does.
01:07:00OK, bring them all in.
01:07:02First up to face the judges
01:07:04is Amy's Harbour Bridge wildcard Lydia
01:07:07and shower singer Luke.
01:07:11I feel a little bit out of me comfort zone.
01:07:13Coming up against people
01:07:14that have been doing it all their lives
01:07:15is a bit daunting.
01:07:16This is my first time
01:07:16in singing in front of anyone,
01:07:17but I've come this far.
01:07:19I hope the judges can see enough in me
01:07:21to get me that golden ticket.
01:07:23I feel very nervous
01:07:24that I haven't met
01:07:26Marsha and Kyle yet.
01:07:27Good luck, you guys.
01:07:29It feels like I'm doing
01:07:31a second audition.
01:07:34This is more nerve-wracking
01:07:35than climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
01:07:41Hello, hello.
01:07:42Hi.
01:07:43Hello again.
01:07:43OK, everyone.
01:07:45So let me introduce you to Lydia,
01:07:47who you haven't met.
01:07:48Hi, Lydia.
01:07:49Hi, Lydia.
01:07:49This is the guy auditioned
01:07:50on 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.
01:07:57Yeah.
01:07:57Don't add yourself a regret
01:07:59Just love yourself
01:08:01And you said
01:08:01I'm on the right track
01:08:03Baby, I was born this way
01:08:05And 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
01:08:17I know I'm not the only one
01:08:23It's a tough part of the competition
01:08:25because we have believed in both of you
01:08:28to get this far
01:08:28But one of you
01:08:31brought more excitement
01:08:33to your audition
01:08:38The singer that is
01:08:40going to receive
01:08:41the golden ticket
01:08:46is going to be
01:08:51Lydia
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.
01:09:04What?
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.
01:09:13Welcome to the Idol family.
01:09:14Well done, babe.
01:09:15Thank you so much.
01:09:16Congratulations.
01:09:17That's a great find, Ames.
01:09:19Yeah.
01:09:19Nice work.
01:09:20Yeah.
01:09:34I started not knowing
01:09:36I was even auditioning
01:09:37on the Harbour Bridge
01:09:38and now I'm in the top 30.
01:09:41Wow.
01:09:43I just can't believe it's happened.
01:09:45Bye, guys.
01:09:46Congratulations.
01:09:47Well done.
01:09:48Oh, my God.
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
01:09:57are three performers
01:09:59with extraordinary voices.
01:10:02It's ballad singer Harlan.
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,
01:10:21but if someone is working harder than you,
01:10:23they will beat you.
01:10:24And so I want to be that person.
01:10:27Country trucker Rochelle.
01:10:28Oh, sun, we're over the rainbow.
01:10:38I'm definitely fish out of water here,
01:10:40very far apart with my country style and genre,
01:10:43and 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.
01:10:50And I'll be there
01:10:54With the love that will shelter you
01:11:00I am feeling very, very nervous
01:11:02about battling for this golden ticket.
01:11:06Good luck.
01:11:08But I'm now in a spot
01:11:09where I've got all the hearing stuff going on,
01:11:11so, like, now is kind of the time
01:11:12for me to step forward.
01:11:21Hey, guys.
01:11:23Hello.
01:11:24Welcome back.
01:11:28Harlan, big voice,
01:11:29the black sheep of the family.
01:11:32Michaela, we heard about your loss of hearing,
01:11:35but to see you push through that
01:11:38was so impressive.
01:11:40And Rochelle, I mean,
01:11:41jeez, we were all brought to tears
01:11:44with that song
01:11:45and hearing about your nan.
01:11:48This is not easy, you know.
01:11:50You all made us feel something,
01:11:53and that's what storytelling music is about.
01:11:58When it comes to vocal power,
01:12:02one of you guys really stood out.
01:12:08And that person is.
01:12:15Harlan, thank you.
01:12:19You're welcome.
01:12:21How are you feeling?
01:12:22I feel great, thank you.
01:12:23Thank you so much, Harlan.
01:12:24Congratulations.
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.
01:12:33Ciao.
01:12:50Do I get to keep this?
01:12:58Sorry.
01:12:59Do I get to keep this?
01:13:00Yes.
01:13:00Oh, yes.
01:13:02Okay, girls,
01:13:04Michaela and Rochelle,
01:13:06that leaves you two.
01:13:08There will only be one more ticket
01:13:10between the two of you girls.
01:13:16And it's a bit of a wrestle,
01:13:18because you both have really good qualities.
01:13:21And the person that's going to get the golden ticket
01:13:27is...
01:13:35Michaela and Rochelle,
01:13:37there will only be one more ticket

01:14:07Thank you so much.
01:14:08Appreciate it, babe.
01:14:09Keep going with everything.
01:14:14What do you think Nen would think of this right now?
01:14:16I know.
01:14:17She'd be so happy.
01:14:18Losing her mind.
01:14:19She would be.
01:14:20Like, literally,
01:14:21if 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.

01:14:34I've got something to believe in
01:14:40Because I believe in me
01:14:47I've got something to believe in
01:14:49It's okay.
01:14:50I'm so sorry.
01:14:52Oh, no, you cheeky, cheeky.
01:14:56I cannot wait to go home to Longreach.
01:15:00We're going to see Nenna
01:15:01at her site and, like, sit there
01:15:03and I'll pull it out when I'm there.
01:15:05How good does it feel to be in the top 30
01:15:06of Australian Idol?
01:15:07This is crazy.
01:15:08Like, I literally don't even know yet.
01:15:11This is insane.
01:15:12All right.
01:15:12Go somewhere great, you guys.
01:15:14Congratulations.
01:15:15Welcome to the top 30.
01:15:19Next up to face the judges,
01:15:21it's comeback rapper Asha
01:15:23and R&B queen, Alita.
01:15:35After a failed first audition,
01:15:38Asha didn't take no for an answer,
01:15:41putting himself back in front of the judges
01:15:43for a fighting second chance.
01:15:46Let's go round two, baby.
01:15:48You should have known
01:15:49when I ain't hit it and slipped
01:15:50that I was with it a bit
01:15:51not to consider the rep.
01:15:53Hey, ho, hey, ho.
01:15:59There's never been a rapper
01:16:01to win Australian Idol
01:16:02and I want to be the first.
01:16:03I've worked so hard
01:16:05to get up to this point
01:16:06coming back again.
01:16:07I'm just hoping
01:16:08I've shown enough to the judges.
01:16:11I want to be the representative
01:16:12of my community
01:16:13to get that golden ticket.
01:16:16It shows them
01:16:17that they can do this as well.
01:16:19I'm just hoping
01:16:20all the hard work
01:16:21that I've put in,
01:16:22it's finally paid off
01:16:23and it's not for nothing.

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.
01:20:34Nice to be done.
01:20:35Bye, guys.
01:20:40Rochelle, Harlan, Asher, Alita and Lydia
01:20:44join our golden top 30.
01:20:47That leaves only four golden tickets
01:20:50for 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.
01:21:16Step up, y'all.
01:21:18One slip and they're cut.
01:21:22You'll remember me.
01:21:26Oh.
01:21:28That was one of the worst performances
01:21:30I have ever seen.
01:21:32I'm so sorry.
01:21:34Oh.
01:21:34I forgot the lyrics.
01:21:35What a disaster.
01:21:36Oh, no.
01:21:38A car crash.
01:21:41That's embarrassing.
01:21:43I don't know how to come back from that.
01:21:46Over three massive nights,
01:21:49only the best will make it
01:21:51to 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.
01:22:01And the crowd goes wild.
