00:00:00This is it Australia. With only four golden tickets left, the final day of
00:00:07auditions promises a red-hot battle to find the final singers for this year's
00:00:14top 30. The days have gone so fast and so have the tickets. I can't believe
00:00:19there's only four tickets left. I love them all. She's fantastic. She is
00:00:24fantastic so there's a couple people here that I just can't get out of my mind
00:00:38like him oh her her can I just guess one of your favorites car you know you made
00:00:50me wanna the remaining singers are gonna have to fight for every note it's no
00:01:02longer about being good it's about being unforgettable no one knows we've only
00:01:06got four tickets left like it's gonna be stressful for contestants today. Best to
00:01:10the best that's what we're looking for. Awesome.
00:01:23Oh mate the heart is racing. Hi. Hello everybody. Hi how are ya? I'm very nervous. I get it I
00:01:31get it.
00:01:32My name's Kira I'm 21. And what do you do with yourself? I'm a nurse. Oh awesome. Why
00:01:39did you become a nurse? I had an accident as a kid. I was 12 years old and I was
00:01:46in a
00:01:47surfing accident. Severed a few of my facial nerves. I did a lot of damage. Oh what did
00:01:53the did you get hit with the board? Yeah it was like a gnarly scar down there. I was knocked
00:01:58completely
00:01:59unconscious and I had a complete right-sided facial palsy so I had no movement at all. My
00:02:05eye didn't close. My lip didn't lift. How old were you? 12. My goodness. Like I was told I'd never
00:02:12sing
00:02:12again. I was told I would never live a normal life. And the nurses were the shining light? The
00:02:19nurses were the shining light and I think there's such there's something so special about being able
00:02:24to give back in that way that you've been there. Like there's nothing like knowing that someone's
00:02:30going through something and I was also there too. You must have done a lot of like therapy like
00:02:36movement therapy and like. A lot of work a lot of determination so I'm definitely like I'm here for
00:02:42my my younger self to prove to her that we can do it. I love that. We can do it.
00:02:47What are you
00:02:48going to sing? I'm singing What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish. Beautiful song. Hope I can do it
00:02:53justice. I'm sure you'll make it your own. Absolutely. When you're ready Deb.
00:03:12I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.
00:03:17Now I just fall down. I used to know. But I'm not sure now. What I was made for. What
00:03:35was I made for?
00:03:39Oh, cause I, I, I, I don't know how to feel. But I want to try.
00:04:01Cause someday I think I forgot how to be happy
00:04:14Something I'm not, but something I can't be
00:04:22Something I'm made for
00:04:33Something I'm made for
00:04:44That was a really great audition.
00:04:48I was lost in you.
00:04:51I think you've got a gorgeous voice in there.
00:04:55I think it's going to be a yes from me.
00:04:59What do you guys think?
00:05:04That really touched me after the story.
00:05:07Beautiful delivery.
00:05:10However, I don't know if it's strong enough to be put through.
00:05:13It's beautiful.
00:05:15Okay.
00:05:15You're wonderful.
00:05:17But there are just people we've already put through that are way better.
00:05:22Really?
00:05:23I could give more.
00:05:24I feel I'm convinced by the story and the song.
00:05:30I would love to give everyone the opportunity, but sometimes you do give someone the chance and maybe you shouldn't.
00:05:37I'm guilty of that as well.
00:05:44I'm going to have to say no.
00:05:46Okay.
00:05:47I'm sorry.
00:05:48Well, you need two yeses.
00:05:51What do you feel, Marsha?
00:05:53You did an okay audition.
00:05:55I think you should study a bit more with your voice because I can actually hear the nerves, which is
00:05:59understandable.
00:06:01But it's not going to reach the level of talent that we're looking for this year, I'm afraid.
00:06:08I...
00:06:10I'll have to say no.
00:06:12I don't want to say no, but I'm going to say no because of what we've seen already in the
00:06:16comp.
00:06:17Yeah, absolutely.
00:06:17All right?
00:06:19I'm really sorry.
00:06:20I'm actually really disappointed.
00:06:22That's all right.
00:06:23I think you're fantastic.
00:06:24I hope you keep going.
00:06:25I'm really sorry for that.
00:06:28That's okay.
00:06:28It was worth a shot.
00:06:29It was.
00:06:30It totally was.
00:06:31I appreciate it very much.
00:06:32And I really appreciate your time.
00:06:33Thank you guys so much.
00:06:33You have a lovely rest of your day.
00:06:34You too.
00:06:36Unfortunately for Kira, with only four golden tickets left, the judges have to make some incredibly tough calls.
00:06:43Because this season, the standard has been truly exceptional.
00:06:55What was that?
00:06:57That was superb.
00:07:01Yeah, baby.
00:07:03You should be very proud of the audition you just did.

00:07:47Who's the next Australian Idol?
00:07:53Wow.
00:07:55Hi guys.
00:07:55Hello everybody.
00:07:56Hello gorgeous.
00:07:57How you doing?
00:07:58How can I walk past this gorgeous little face?
00:08:00Are you auditioning?
00:08:02No.
00:08:02You're not singing.
00:08:03Who's auditioning?
00:08:04My uncle.
00:08:05Your uncle.
00:08:06Hi.
00:08:06Hello.
00:08:07How are you?
00:08:07How are you?
00:08:07I'm Josh.
00:08:08Nice to meet you.
00:08:09So nice to meet you.
00:08:10Welcome to Australian Idol.
00:08:11Thank you very much.
00:08:14The impact that music has had on my life has been extremely positive.
00:08:18I've been singing since about four years old.
00:08:21We used to chuck on this John Farnham DVD and Dad told me to get up and sing.
00:08:27You know, just have a sing.
00:08:29And I sang it and I saw the look in my dad's face and I could tell that I did
00:08:34well.
00:08:35I'm getting really emotional about this actually because I haven't thought about it in a while.
00:08:41But that was the moment.
00:08:42The moment that I saw my dad be proud of me.
00:08:44I was like, if dad thinks it's good, it's good.
00:08:48Yeah.
00:08:53I want to be an artist that writes good music for the Australian people that people want
00:09:01to depend on when they want someone to play at the grand final or like, you know, at the
00:09:06opera house or the big gigs that the Aussies want, I want to be that guy.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:12If they say he's going home, I'm just going to cry the whole night.
00:09:18I don't know, I don't know.
00:09:20I cried the whole night when I had to go home from Australian Idol too.
00:09:24Yeah.
00:09:25But you did make it.
00:09:27I did.
00:09:27I didn't know.
00:09:29Yeah, but I really wanted to win.
00:09:31You made it eventually.
00:09:33I did, I did.
00:09:40I did.
00:09:40Hello.
00:09:41Hello.
00:09:42Hello, buddy.
00:09:42What's your name?
00:09:43I'm Josh.
00:09:45I'm 30 years old and I'm from Geelong.
00:09:47Now, you look like a real deal muso guy.
00:09:50I try.
00:09:51That's good.
00:09:52So how long have you been doing music for?
00:09:53I've been playing for about 16 years, but I've been singing since I was about four or five
00:09:59years old.
00:09:59And what got you into music in the first place as a career option?
00:10:03Um, my friends and family, more so my dad, but a lot of it was kind of my own little
00:10:08inspiration too.
00:10:09Good.
00:10:09Like I wanted to do it regardless of what anyone thought.
00:10:12Good.
00:10:12Um, yeah.
00:10:13Well, that's a great path because being forced down a path to live out your parents' fantasies
00:10:19never really works out.
00:10:21What are you going to do for us?
00:10:22I'm going to sing a song called Electric Feel by MGMT.
00:10:25Great song.
00:10:26Oh, yes.
00:10:27And I'm going to put a little of my own little pizzazz on it.
00:10:29Great.
00:10:30Excellent news.
00:10:30Okay.
00:10:31Josh from Geelong.
00:10:33Let's see what you've got.
00:10:34Good luck, man.
00:10:37Whew.
00:10:46All along the Western France
00:10:50People line up to receive
00:10:53Yeah.
00:10:54Here we go.
00:10:55She's got the power in her hands
00:10:58To shock you like you won't believe
00:11:03I saw her in the Amazon
00:11:06He sounds so good.
00:11:08Look at the voltage running through her skin
00:11:12Standing there with nothing on
00:11:17She's going to teach me how to swim
00:11:23I said, ooh, girl
00:11:28Shock me like an electric eel
00:11:32Yeah
00:11:33Yeah
00:11:34Baby girl
00:11:35Yeah
00:11:37Turn me on with your electric eel
00:11:41Do what you feel now
00:11:45Electric feel now
00:11:49Do what you feel now
00:11:54Electric feel now
00:12:12Not what I was expecting
00:12:14I don't know what I was expecting
00:12:16But when you started to sing
00:12:17I was like, oh
00:12:18This is a real singer
00:12:21I can hear you doing so many different songs
00:12:24That were just popping in my head
00:12:25As I was listening to you
00:12:26Run up and down that vocal range
00:12:29I'm just giving you a yes up front
00:12:31I liked it
00:12:32Thanks so much
00:12:33My heart's beating up
00:12:34A million miles an hour
00:12:35I was going to say, are you okay?
00:12:36Yeah
00:12:36It'd be horrible if you died of a heart attack right now
00:12:38Yeah, it would be, wouldn't it?
00:12:39Yeah, don't do that
00:12:40We need you
00:12:41I love it when I see a singer
00:12:43Step back and blow people away
00:12:46With the volume of their voice
00:12:48And I congratulate you immensely
00:12:50On that performance
00:12:51Thank you
00:12:52It's a yes from me
00:12:53Two yeses

00:18:50Great vocal
00:18:51Thank you
00:18:52You know yourself
00:18:53You know how you want to look
00:18:54And how you look great
00:18:55Great song choice
00:18:57Thank you
00:18:58Very well executed
00:18:59I can't fault anything
00:19:00I think it's very good
00:19:01Very good
00:19:02I'm gonna say yes
00:19:04Thank you
00:19:04You're welcome
00:19:05But you need to
00:19:10You've got a great accompanist there
00:19:12And you kind of fell
00:19:13Behind him
00:19:15Okay
00:19:15A couple times
00:19:16And you fell
00:19:17Ahead of him
00:19:18A couple times
00:19:19Okay
00:19:20You know
00:19:20Look
00:19:20It's corny to say
00:19:24Singers
00:19:24We have to learn
00:19:27To listen
00:19:28Because that's respect
00:19:30Between the musician
00:19:30And yourself
00:19:31And I think
00:19:32You're that clever
00:19:33And that open
00:19:36That you'll listen
00:19:37To what's being said to you
00:19:38And I think you've got
00:19:39A fine

00:21:27I had like a little broom world tour going on
00:21:31Just pretending that I was a pop star
00:21:33That's how it started
00:21:34And then I just kept going
00:21:35Because people seemed to like the broom videos
00:21:38Definitely loved music my whole life
00:21:40Like I think I came out of the room singing
00:21:43Now I just want to make music that connects with people
00:21:45Like whether it's one person
00:21:47That feels so seen and heard
00:21:48That's the goal
00:21:55Hello

00:22:24So you've got a lot of people
00:22:25A lot of eyes on you
00:22:26On the TikTok
00:22:27But what about in real life?
00:22:29That's a good point though Kyle
00:22:31Because we've had quite a few people
00:22:32Come and audition
00:22:34And they are just
00:22:35Used to TikTok
00:22:36Or doing it online
00:22:38And obviously
00:22:39That's like
00:22:40A totally different thing
00:22:42That's something
00:22:42But then there's this
00:22:44We can do what we want
00:22:45Right?

00:22:57See if you can get them going
00:22:58I'd just like to see you
00:22:59In front of people
00:23:00And away from the
00:23:02The phone
00:23:02Oh my gosh

00:23:46On TikTok
00:23:46And so before
00:23:48She auditioned
00:23:49I thought
00:23:49Well it's one thing
00:23:51To perform on TikTok
00:23:52It's another
00:23:53To perform to a crowd
00:23:55We need the real deal here guys
00:23:57So I
00:23:58I want Natalie
00:23:59To audition
00:24:00In front of you guys
00:24:02And I want to see
00:24:03Your reaction
00:24:04To see if she actually
00:24:05Has got what it takes
00:24:06To get through
00:24:11Alright well
00:24:11I know you don't have a broom
00:24:13But it's a very expensive microphone
00:24:15Um
00:24:15So what are you going to perform?
00:24:17I'm going to sing
00:24:18I want to dance with somebody
00:24:21That's a tough song
00:24:22Alright we ready
00:24:26Cue the track
00:24:27Let's go
00:24:32Clock strikes upon the hour
00:24:35And the sun begins to fade
00:24:40Still enough time to figure out
00:24:43How to chase my blues away
00:24:48I've been around right up till now
00:24:51It's the light of day that shows me how
00:24:56So when the night falls
00:24:58My loneliness calls
00:25:01Go
00:25:03I want to dance with somebody
00:25:06I want to feel the heat with somebody
00:25:09Yeah
00:25:11I want to dance with somebody
00:25:14Hey
00:25:15With somebody who loves me
00:25:20Somebody who loves me
00:25:21Somebody who loves me
00:25:23To hold me in his arms
00:25:26I've been on there to take the chance
00:25:30On a life that burns hard enough to last
00:25:34So when the night falls
00:25:37Beautiful.
00:25:38My lonely heart calls
00:25:41Oh, I want to dance with somebody
00:25:45I want to feel the heat with somebody
00:25:49Yeah, I want to dance with somebody
00:25:54With somebody who loves me
00:26:00Thanks, guys. Thank you.
00:26:08So Natalie, how did that feel?
00:26:10I felt so fun.
00:26:11In front of people, you owned it.
00:26:13You got them involved.
00:26:15You're a pro.
00:26:16It was actually harder because this is what they call in the round.
00:26:19So you worked everyone.
00:26:21You didn't even just have the one sort of stagey.
00:26:24You kind of worked the whole crowd.
00:26:26What are we thinking, guys?
00:26:30Okay, okay.
00:26:33Well, that's a yes from me then.
00:26:35You got the first yes.
00:26:39It's a yes from me.
00:26:41Straight up.
00:26:43What do you think, Marsha?
00:26:45It's a yes from me.
00:26:46Yes.
00:26:49Well done.
00:26:50Yes.
00:26:50Well done.
00:26:51Well done, guys.
00:26:53Tough audition.
00:26:54Tough audition.
00:26:55You did it.
00:26:55Thank you so much.
00:26:58Oh, that was so gorgeous.
00:27:00That's like, whole package.
00:27:02It's getting real.
00:27:04Hi.
00:27:05Hey.
00:27:06That was so good.
00:27:08Stop.
00:27:08Who takes on a Whitney Houston song?
00:27:10My God.
00:27:10I know.
00:27:11I shouldn't have.
00:27:12Wow.
00:27:12This is like competition and we've got to really, you know, get down to it.
00:27:17The judges will have a tough time.
00:27:18Oh, yeah.
00:27:19It's going to come down to the wire.
00:27:21Yeah.
00:27:21I wonder how many tickets they have to give away.
00:27:23But I really want that ticket.
00:27:26Coming up, there's only four golden tickets left to sing for.
00:27:31But an unbelievable performance.
00:27:36That could be a worldwide act.
00:27:38And a shock decision.
00:27:40We don't hand those out at this stage, but you've got a golden ticket.
00:27:46Changes everything.
00:27:48Straight on the radio tomorrow.
00:27:49That's what I'm looking for.
00:28:02It's the final day of auditions and competition for the last four golden tickets is fierce.
00:28:09Hopefully I can get one of those.
00:28:10Making song choice more important than ever.
00:28:14How are y'all doing?
00:28:14Hey, how are you?
00:28:16So there are three songs that we hear more than any others.
00:28:20Oh.
00:28:21Dancing Queen by ABBA.
00:28:22I don't think Dancing Queen could ever go on and me not get swept up in the magic of it.
00:28:27Oh, you can dance.
00:28:30You can die.
00:28:32Having the time of your life.
00:28:36Ooh, see that girl.
00:28:39Watch her sing.
00:28:42Dig in the Dancing Queen.
00:28:45Okay, I stand corrected.
00:28:47I cannot like a version of that song.
00:28:50Bye.
00:28:51Bye.
00:28:52Next, the song Hallelujah.
00:28:55I heard there was a secret call.
00:28:58We've heard it a thousand times.
00:29:00Cut, cut, cut.
00:29:01Save that for the pearly gates.
00:29:02It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth.
00:29:06The minor fall and the major lift.
00:29:09The baffled king composing Hallelujah.
00:29:18Hallelujah, that is over.
00:29:23Unless you're about to reinvent the wheel, just pick something else.
00:29:26Hello everyone.
00:29:27Like if I hear Valerie one more time.
00:29:29Okay, what are you gonna sing today?
00:29:30I'm gonna sing Valerie by Amy Winehouse.
00:29:33Oh.
00:29:34Damn to death.
00:29:35Leave it alone.
00:29:36And why don't you come on over Valerie?
00:29:40You know, what if I never heard that song again?
00:29:42It'd be the best day ever.
00:29:43Why won't you come on over Valerie?
00:29:47Valerie?
00:29:49It's a no from me.
00:29:51Thanks guys.
00:29:52It's just an instant no.
00:29:53See ya.
00:29:54Pack your bag.
00:29:55Take your sandwiches.
00:29:56Call the Uber.
00:29:57You're done here.
00:29:58My name is Kalia and today I'm gonna be performing Valerie by Amy Winehouse.
00:30:04Now listen.
00:30:05Okay.
00:30:05That song's been done to death.
00:30:07To death.
00:30:07We've heard that song over and over.
00:30:10We're over it.
00:30:12Unless you absolutely bring something that's like gonna bring the song back to life.
00:30:17You know that song is dead but too tired to lie down.
00:30:19Well, I'm here to wake that song back up.
00:30:22When you're ready.
00:30:23Hope you surprise us, yeah?
00:30:33Well, sometimes I go out by myself and I look across the water.
00:30:42And I think of all the things, what you're doing, and in my head I paint a picture.
00:30:51Cause since I've come home, well my body's been a mess.
00:30:56And I miss your gender, and the way you like to dress.
00:31:01Won't you come on over.
00:31:04Stop making a fool out of me.
00:31:07Why won't you come on over, Valerie?
00:31:14Valerie.
00:31:17Hey, hey.
00:31:19I was thinking about the days you were over me.
00:31:21Back when everything was a joke with me.
00:31:24We stay up and talk to the song will rise.
00:31:26Now it's just memory stuck on rewind.
00:31:28Where you at now feels like you're ghosting.
00:31:30Have me caught up, now the truth's unloading.
00:31:33Now I see the cards that your hand's been holding.
00:31:35All the little lies in the cracks are showing.
00:31:37Since you've been away, boy my world's been such a mess.
00:31:41Oh my gosh, she's raining sand.
00:31:44And the way you rock, that's it.
00:31:46Won't you come on over.
00:31:49Stop making a fool out of me.
00:31:53Why won't you come on over back to me, yeah.
00:31:59Valerie.
00:32:04Valerie.
00:32:05Why won't you come on over.
00:32:08Valerie.
00:32:11Why won't you come on over, Valerie.
00:32:16Why won't you come on over, Valerie.
00:32:18Well that was a little surprise there, a different version.
00:32:22I thought the rap would be a really nice little switch up for the song.
00:32:26Did you write that?
00:32:27Yes, I did, yes.
00:32:28Yeah, I wrote that, yeah.
00:32:31Which was awesome.
00:32:32That's cool.
00:32:33Yeah.
00:32:33That was really cool.
00:32:34Super cool.
00:32:35Westing Sydney cool, represent, represent.
00:32:38Exactly.
00:32:39I've not seen that before, represent, I like that.
00:32:40Yes, clock it.
00:32:41Yes honey, yes.
00:32:43You changed it up, that song for us, right?
00:32:46Yeah.
00:32:46Which was great.
00:32:47Actually I thought the rapping part was far superior than the rest.
00:32:50Wow, I love that.
00:32:51I really am energised by that.
00:32:55That rap and making it your own.
00:32:57That's cool.
00:32:57You were you doing that.
00:32:59Yeah.
00:32:59I think we'd be crazy not to.
00:33:03Look, I'm just going to say it's a yes from me.
00:33:06Thank God you and I are thinking alike.
00:33:08So it's a yes from me.
00:33:10Thank you, thank you.
00:33:11Yes.
00:33:12Carly, you got a little bit of something, something.
00:33:13Don't know what it is, but you got a little bit of something, something.
00:33:16And so I'm going to say, yeah.
00:33:18Yes!
00:33:19I love that.
00:33:20Carly, I will see you later on in the day and hopefully you take home a golden ticket.
00:33:23Thank you guys.
00:33:24Thank you for having me.
00:33:25That's three yeses.
00:33:26Done very well.
00:33:27See you at the end.
00:33:28Thank you, thank you.
00:33:28Have a great day guys.
00:33:29Nice work.
00:33:30Yeah.
00:33:33That was cool.
00:33:34Yeah.
00:33:34It was just something, something.
00:33:38Next, the twists keep coming.
00:33:42No one told me Anastasia was going to be here.
00:33:44As the final day of auditions throws up rogue performers.
00:33:51That's right.
00:33:52I'm only human after all.
00:33:54You're only human after all.
00:33:58Don't put the blame on me.
00:34:00And rogue decisions.
00:34:02Could be our first Viking idol.
00:34:04Come here.
00:34:05I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here.
00:34:14Let's do this.
00:34:19Let's do this.
00:34:19So it's almost the end of the lunch break and the judges should be making their way back
00:34:23in for the next session.
00:34:24We've still got hundreds of singers out there waiting their turn.
00:34:27Hopefully, they have what it takes to impress our amazing judges.
00:34:31And who knows?
00:34:32The winner of Idol 2026 could be up next.
00:34:36Here we go.

00:35:08You look like Jon Snow's showing up.
00:35:10Yeah.
00:35:11I love the vibe.
00:35:12Yeah.
00:35:12Thanks, man.
00:35:13Are you a Viking?
00:35:14Well, I've got heritage.
00:35:15It looks like one.
00:35:15I thought I was English and Irish my whole life until we did that thing.
00:35:20And it's all Viking.
00:35:21Yep.
00:35:22I love it.
00:35:25Viking culture.
00:35:27It's the travel.
00:35:28It's the freedom.
00:35:29It's the experience of life.
00:35:30New things to see.
00:35:32I also love, you know, blacksmithing, leather smithing, bone smithing, bone carving.
00:35:40I made this knife myself and I did the wood handle and everything on it too.
00:35:44And the pins.
00:35:49I've been playing music for 19 years.
00:35:52My passion for music came from pulling me through hard situations, hard times and I've always
00:35:57just used music because it's like a meditation really.
00:36:00And I'm hoping Idol can be the start of a bigger and better chapter.
00:36:07Could be our first Viking Idol, guys.
00:36:09You never know.
00:36:10Oh, I'd love it.
00:36:11What are you going to sing today?
00:36:12Human by Rag and Bone Man.
00:36:14Sweet.
00:36:15Oh, interesting.
00:36:15Okay, cool.
00:36:16Okay, Bo.
00:36:17When you're ready, man.
00:36:32Baby, I'm foolish.
00:36:34Maybe I'm blind.
00:36:36Thinking I could see through this and see what's behind.
00:36:39No way to prove it, so maybe I'm blind.
00:36:43But I'm only human after all.
00:36:47You're only human after all.
00:36:50Put your blame on me.
00:36:51Oh, what's his vibe?
00:36:52Look at his tattoos.
00:36:53Don't put your blame on me.
00:36:56Oh, some people gather real boldness.
00:37:01Some people lie to life.
00:37:04Some people think I could stole them.
00:37:07Lord, I'm on the bone.
00:37:09Oh, I'm only human after all.
00:37:12You're only human after all.
00:37:15Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:18Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:23Cause I'm the only perfect old Messiah.
00:37:29She's gonna look in summer.
00:37:32Oh, yeah.
00:37:36Oh, yeah.
00:37:37Oh, yeah.
00:37:39Oh, yeah.
00:37:41You're only human after all.
00:37:43Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:46Don't put the blame on me.
00:37:50Cause I'm only human.
00:37:52I do what I can.
00:37:53I'm just a man.
00:37:54I do what I can.
00:37:56Don't put your blame on me.
00:38:08You know, Bo, your individuality is unquestionable.
00:38:13Yeah.
00:38:14I loved it.
00:38:15It's completely different.
00:38:17It's completely authentic.
00:38:18I'm gonna give you the big yes.
00:38:20Without a doubt.
00:38:21I'd love to see you progress in this contest.
00:38:24Yeah.
00:38:25Wow.
00:38:27I feel like you really crushed that towards the end.
00:38:30That was just like, you have such a cool voice.
00:38:33You've got extreme control of everything.
00:38:37The only thing that I am nervous about is you're such a free spirit.
00:38:46Bo, are you good with rules and regulations?
00:38:50Very good.
00:38:50I have to ask that.
00:38:51Yeah, but he's Viking like me and yeah, we don't always do rules.
00:38:55But how is that like, is that something that like...
00:38:57Cause there are many, you know.
00:38:59Would you be cool with that?
00:39:01Yeah.
00:39:01If that means I have to relocate.
00:39:04Yeah.
00:39:04It would mean a lot of things.
00:39:05Not relocate.
00:39:06Turn up on time.
00:39:07Turn up on time.
00:39:08It's more commitment.
00:39:09Yeah.
00:39:09I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here.
00:39:11What I saw is a young man who beats to his own drum.
00:39:16No one's questioning that.
00:39:20Like...
00:39:20Don't worry about his...
00:39:21Don't worry about the times and...
00:39:23If he mucks up with that, that's on him.
00:39:26But our job here, is he good enough to go forward?
00:39:28I say, yep.
00:39:30Yeah, he is.
00:39:31I don't care if he's late to make up.
00:39:33I think I'm late to make up every single day.
00:39:34You are.
00:39:35As long as you...
00:39:36But they don't have that much to do.
00:39:38Are you speaking of yourself?
00:39:39I was thinking of myself.
00:39:40Yeah.
00:39:43Sorry, we just...
00:39:43You can only polish a turd so much master.
00:39:45You know, but you can roll it in glitter.
00:39:47Hey, listen man, there's just something really compelling about you and I really like it.
00:39:52So for me, it's a yes.
00:39:56Look, it's a yes from me, but it is such a different life, Beau.
00:40:00Yeah.
00:40:01Such a different life.
00:40:02Consider it a part of your journey.
00:40:03I'm not sure if you can pull off one of these.
00:40:07This is what we're going to find out later in the day.
00:40:09Yep.
00:40:10I hope you can, but it's tough competition.
00:40:13Yeah, absolutely.
00:40:13We'll see you later on this afternoon.
00:40:15Now get out of here with your dreamy eyes.
00:40:17Goodbye.
00:40:17Thank you so much.
00:40:18Thank you very much.
00:40:23I like you.
00:40:24Yeah, you're nice.
00:40:25Yeah, you're nice.
00:40:28Everyone's really good.
00:40:30Not that I didn't expect everyone to be good, but I'm just like, everyone's way better than
00:40:34I thought.
00:40:34Being here, it's like, okay, wow.
00:40:37Yeah.
00:40:37Now I feel stressed.
00:40:38Now I feel like, oh my God.
00:40:40Yeah.
00:40:40Like, I need one of those.
00:40:48Crew, what are you doing over here?
00:40:50Oh, just playing some Yahtzee.

00:41:01After a massive six days of auditions.
00:41:03I've been up since 4am.
00:41:06I'm fanging for some caffeinated.
00:41:07I bet you are.
00:41:08It's the final push for singers to impress the judges and make it to the top 30.

00:43:36Where you keep the microphone here
00:43:38Like a finger away, but the finger has to stay there for some reason
00:43:42Yeah!
00:43:43Sometimes when I move around too much
00:43:45I want to make sure you guys can hear me
00:43:48Well we did, we did

00:43:56But
00:43:58I could definitely hear you being out of breath
00:44:00Which
00:44:01Kind of says to me that you don't do it too often
00:44:04If you're going to move around like that
00:44:06You gotta get fit
00:44:07Yes
00:44:08You know, because that's how Beyonce became Beyonce
00:44:11You know, you can't sing and rap and be that mad
00:44:14And not be scented with your breathing
00:44:16It's a no from me, but thank you
00:44:20You need, you need two yeses

00:44:39A ten thousand billion percent promise
00:44:42Like, I would love to see that come to fruition

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