00:00:00This is it Australia. With only four golden tickets left, the final day of
00:00:07auditions promises a red-hot battle to find the final singers for this year's
00:00:14top 30. The days have gone so fast and so have the tickets. I can't believe
00:00:19there's only four tickets left. I love them all. She's fantastic. She is
00:00:24fantastic so there's a couple people here that I just can't get out of my mind
00:00:38like him oh her her can I just guess one of your favorites car you know you made
00:00:50me wanna the remaining singers are gonna have to fight for every note it's no
00:01:02longer about being good it's about being unforgettable no one knows we've only
00:01:06got four tickets left like it's gonna be stressful for contestants today. Best to
00:01:10the best that's what we're looking for. Awesome.
00:01:23Oh mate the heart is racing. Hi. Hello everybody. Hi how are ya? I'm very nervous. I get it I
00:01:31get it.
00:01:32My name's Kira I'm 21. And what do you do with yourself? I'm a nurse. Oh awesome. Why
00:01:39did you become a nurse? I had an accident as a kid. I was 12 years old and I was
00:01:46in a
00:01:47surfing accident. Severed a few of my facial nerves. I did a lot of damage. Oh what did
00:01:53the did you get hit with the board? Yeah it was like a gnarly scar down there. I was knocked
00:01:58completely
00:01:59unconscious and I had a complete right-sided facial palsy so I had no movement at all. My
00:02:05eye didn't close. My lip didn't lift. How old were you? 12. My goodness. Like I was told I'd never
00:02:12sing
00:02:12again. I was told I would never live a normal life. And the nurses were the shining light? The
00:02:19nurses were the shining light and I think there's such there's something so special about being able
00:02:24to give back in that way that you've been there. Like there's nothing like knowing that someone's
00:02:30going through something and I was also there too. You must have done a lot of like therapy like
00:02:36movement therapy and like. A lot of work a lot of determination so I'm definitely like I'm here for
00:02:42my my younger self to prove to her that we can do it. I love that. We can do it.
00:02:47What are you
00:02:48going to sing? I'm singing What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish. Beautiful song. Hope I can do it
00:02:53justice. I'm sure you'll make it your own. Absolutely. When you're ready Deb.
00:03:12I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.
00:03:17Now I just fall down. I used to know. But I'm not sure now. What I was made for. What
00:03:35was I made for?
00:03:49I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.
00:03:57I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing. I used to sing.

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

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

00:10:25Great song

00:22:16I've seen you on my page
00:22:18With my broom?
00:22:18With your broom
00:22:19Yes
00:22:19And you take it really seriously
00:22:21Yes
00:22:21And I've seen you, I thought you looked familiar
00:22:23Yeah
00:22:23So hang on, so you've got a lot of people, a lot of eyes on you on the TikTok
00:22:27But what about in real life?
00:22:29That's a good point though, Kyle, because we've had quite a few people come and audition and they are just
00:22:35used to TikTok or doing it online
00:22:39And obviously that's like a totally different thing
00:22:42That's something, but then there's this
00:22:44We can do what we want, right?
00:22:47What do you want to do?
00:22:47Yeah, we can
00:22:48Well, I'd like to, I'd like to potentially take you out to the hundreds of people that we have outside
00:22:55And just see if you can get them going
00:22:58I'd just like to see you in front of people and away from the phone
00:23:02Oh my gosh, no pressure
00:23:04Let's do that
00:23:04Let's do it
00:23:05Oh great, we've just walked from out there and now we've got to walk all the way back
00:23:08And now we're going home, Kyle
00:23:09This will be fun
00:23:10It's going to be good for you
00:23:11It's going to be good for you
00:23:12Have you got family here?
00:23:13I do, I have my sister and my best friend
00:23:16Nice to meet you
00:23:16Your sister and your best friend
00:23:17Let's go and see them
00:23:18Let's go grab them
00:23:19I like your hair jewelry, because I wear that

00:23:21Yeah, yours is so nice
00:23:22Thank you
00:23:23Blah, blah

00:23:40So this is Natalie
00:23:42Hello
00:23:43And Natalie is known as Broom Girl on TikTok
00:23:46And so before she auditioned I thought
00:23:49Well it's one thing to perform on TikTok
00:23:52It's another to perform to a crowd
00:23:55We need the real deal here guys
00:23:57So I want Natalie to audition in front of you guys
00:24:02And I want to see your reaction to see if she actually has got what it takes to get through
00:24:11All right, well I know you don't have a broom
00:24:13But it's a very expensive microphone
00:24:15Um, so what are you gonna perform?
00:24:17I'm gonna sing I want to dance with somebody
00:24:21That's a tough song
00:24:22All right, we're ready
00:24:26Cue the track, let's go
00:24:28Cue the track, let'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 alright
00:24:50I've been 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
00:25:02Oh, I want to dance with somebody
00:25:06Yes
00:25:07I want to feel the heat with somebody
00:25:11Yeah, I want to dance with somebody
00:25:14Hey, hey
00:25:16With somebody who loves me
00:25:23To hold me in his arms
00:25:27I've been a man to take the chance
00:25:30On a life that burns hard enough to last
00:25:34So when the night falls
00:25:37My lonely heart calls
00:25:40Oh, 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
00:25:53With somebody who loves me
00:26:01Thanks guys, thank you
00:26:06Yay

00:26:13You got them involved
00:26:15You're a pro
00:26:16Yeah, thank you

00:27:11Wow
00:27:12This is like competition
00:27:13And we've got to really
00:27:14You know
00:27:15Get down to it
00:27:16The 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
00:27:27There'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
00:27:44But 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
00:27:51Thank you
00:28:02It's the final day of auditions
00:28:04And 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 y'all doing?
00:28:15Hey, how are you?
00:28:15There are three songs that we hear more than any others
00:28:19Oh
00:28:20Dancing Queen by ABBA
00:28:22I don't think Dancing Queen could ever go on
00:28:25And me not get swept up in the magic of it
00:28:27Oh, you can dance
00:28:29You can die
00:28:32I'm having the time of your life
00:28:36Ooh, see that girl

00:28:49Thank you
00:28:50Bye
00:28:51Bye
00:28:51Next, the song Hallelujah
00:28:54I heard there was a secret call
00:28:58We've heard it a thousand times
00:28:59Cut, cut, cut
00:29:01Save that for the pearly gates
00:29:02It goes like this
00:29:04The fourth, the fifth
00:29:05The minor fall and the major lift
00:29:09The baffled king composing
00:29:12Hallelujah
00:29:14Hallelujah, that is over
00:29:23Unless you're about to reinvent the wheel
00:29:24Just pick something else

00:30:22When you're ready
00:30:23Don't surprise us yeah
00:30:33Well sometimes I go out by myself
00:30:37And I look across the water
00:30:42And I think of all the things
00:30:44What you're doing
00:30:46And in my head I paint a picture
00:30:51Cause since I've come home
00:30:53While my body's been a mess
00:30:56And I miss your gender
00:30:58And the way you like to dress
00:31:01Won't you come on over
00:31:03Stop making a fool out of me
00:31:08Why won't you come on over Valerie
00:31:14Valerie
00:31:17Hey, hey
00:31:18I was thinking about the days you were over me
00:31:21Back when everything was a joke with me
00:31:23We'd 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
00:31:29Feels like you're ghosted
00:31:30Have me caught up
00:31:31Now the truth's unloading
00:31:33Now I see the cards that your hands been holding
00:31:35All the little lies in the cracks start showing
00:31:37Since you've been away
00:31:39Boy my world's been such a mess
00:31:41Oh my gosh she's remixing it
00:31:43Damn
00:31:43And the way you rock that's it
00:31:46Won't you come on over
00:31:48Stop making a fool out of me
00:31:52Stop making a fool out of me
00:31:53Why won't you come on over back to me
00:31:59Valerie
00:32:04Valerie
00:32:08Valerie
00:32:09Valerie
00:32:10Why won't you come on over Valerie
00:32:19Well that was a little surprise there, a different version
00:32:22I thought the rap would be a really nice little switch up for the song
00:32:26Did you write that?
00:32:27Yes, I did, yes
00:32:28Cool
00:32:28Yeah, that's a, yeah, I write that, yeah

00:35:21Yep
00:35:22I love it
00:35:25Viking culture

00:35:44And the pins
00:35:46Got that power over me
00:35:49I've been playing music for 19 years
00:35:51My passion for music came from pulling me through hard situations, hard times
00:35:56And I've always just used music
00:35:58Because 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

00:36:20Thank you
00:36:32Baby I'm foolish
00:36:34Maybe I'm blind
00:36:35Thinking I can see through this and see what's behind
00:36:38No way to prove it so maybe I'm blind
00:36:43But I'm only human after all
00:36:46You're only human after all

00:37:03Some people think I can stole them
00:37:07Lord amons above
00:37:09I'm only human after all
00:37:12You're only human after all
00:37:15Don't put the blame on me

00:38:18I'm going to give you the big yes, without a doubt I'd love to see you progress in this contest
00:38:23Thank you
00:38:24Yeah, wow, I feel like you really crushed that towards the end
00:38:30That was just like, you have such a cool voice, you've got extreme control of everything
00:38:37Thank you
00:38:37The only thing that I am nervous about is, um, 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, don't always do rules
00:38:55How is that like, is that something that
00:38:57Cause there are many, you know
00:38:59Would you be cool with that?
00:39:01Yeah, if that means I have to relocate
00:39:03Yeah, it would mean a lot of things, not relocate, turn up on time
00:39:07Turn up on time
00:39:08It's more commitment
00:39:08Yeah
00:39:09I think we're getting ahead of ourselves here
00:39:11What I saw is a young man who beats to his own drum
00:39:16No one's questioning that
00:39:19Like
00:39:20Don't worry about his, don't worry about the times
00:39:22And if he mucks up with that, that's on him
00:39:25But our job here, is he good enough to go forward?
00:39:28I say, yep, yeah he is
00:39:30I don't care if he's late to make up
00:39:32I think I'm late to make up every single day
00:39:34You are, as long as you can
00:39:36But I don't have that much to do
00:39:38Are you speaking of yourself?
00:39:39I was thinking of myself, yeah
00:39:43Sorry, we're just
00:39:43You can only polish a turd so much, master
00:39:45You know, but you can roll it in glitter
00:39:46Hey, listen man, there's just something really compelling about you
00:39:51And I really like it

00:43:28CJ Wrangbling
00:43:30Wow!
00:43:31Ooh!
00:43:32TJ, I have never seen that kind of microphone technique where you keep the microphone here
00:43:39Yeah!
00:43:39Like a finger away
00:43:40But the finger has to stay there for some reason
00:43:42Yeah!
00:43:43Sometimes when I move around too much, I want to make sure you guys can hear me
00:43:48Very good
00:43:48Well, we did!
00:43:49We did!
00:43:50Thank you!
00:43:50Yeah, man. I that was so entertaining. You came in here like a rocket and I'd love that but I
00:43:58could definitely hear you being out of breath which
00:44:01Kind of says to me that you don't do it too often if you're going to move around like that.
00:44:06You gotta get fit
00:44:08Yes, you know because that's how Beyonce became Beyonce
00:44:11You know, you can't sing and rap and be that mad and not be scented with your breathing. It's a
00:44:17no from me, but thank you
00:44:20You need you need two yeses. You got one night
00:44:24Amy Kyle, if you give me a yes, I will hundred percent thousand percent ten thousand percent
00:44:33It's maybe you know may not be everyone's cup of tea
00:44:35But I like all different styles to be represented a ten thousand billion percent
00:44:41Promise like I would love to see that come to fruition. So I'll give you a yes. Thank you
00:44:48Oh ring bling
00:44:50That wasn't the greatest audition. It was really wild. It was all over the place
00:44:55You will not regret giving me a yes. I promise
00:44:59We don't have anyone like you
00:45:02Please please
00:45:05Don't make me regret this
00:45:08But I'm gonna say yes

00:49:38What do you guys think?
00:49:39Well, we have a guest here.
00:49:40I'll let Anastasia say.
00:49:41Okay.
00:49:43I think there's a lot there that is intriguing.
00:49:47Right now, you're giving me Disney, but then your music gave me a different vibe.
00:49:52You're giving me Princess, and then the other part of it just didn't belong.
00:49:58So, no for me.
00:50:01Well, I'm going to give you a yes, because that could be a worldwide act.
00:50:05You're a niche audience, but you need at least two yeses.
00:50:10Um, Vera, I really enjoyed that.
00:50:13Yeah.
00:50:14But I don't know if Idol is your path.
00:50:17So, unfortunately, it's a no from me.
00:50:19I appreciate everything you did for us, Vera, and I thank you for the audition.
00:50:24But my vote is it's a no.
00:50:27No worries.
00:50:28Thanks for having me.
00:50:29Thanks, Vera.
00:50:29Thank you, Vera.
00:50:30Pleasure.
00:50:30Thank you so much.
00:50:31Bye-bye.
00:50:34Do you remember when she ran in?
00:50:36Oh, she has talent.
00:50:36She, like, ran in at the stop.
00:50:37She's got some talent.
00:50:39Next.
00:50:40Oh, my goodness.
00:50:46Hello.
00:50:47Hi.
00:50:48Hi.
00:50:49Hi.
00:50:49Hi.
00:50:50Hi.
00:50:51Anastasia.
00:50:52No one told me Anastasia was going to be here.
00:50:55Okay.
00:50:56Let's see what you got.
00:50:57Good luck, Rhys.
00:50:58Don't tell me not to live just sitting butter.
00:51:02Life's candy and the sun's a ball of butter.
00:51:04Don't bring around a cloud to rain on my brain.
00:51:10Can't count the years on one hand that we've been together.
00:51:16And maybe even on a...
00:51:18Oh, Dolly.
00:51:20Oh, ho, ho.
00:51:22Cause all of me loves all of you.
00:51:29Love your...
00:51:29It gets better as the day goes on.
00:51:31Oh, man, I'm waiting for her.
00:51:32All your perfect imperfections.
00:51:35Yeah.
00:51:37Okay, okay.
00:51:38So that's gonna happen again.
00:51:39This is a sign.
00:51:40Yeah.
00:51:40Nobody is gonna...
00:51:47I'm...
00:51:48I'm into you.
00:51:55You give your all to me.
00:51:59I'll give my all to you.
00:52:02And I give you all of me.
00:52:08I can't stand it any longer.
00:52:10You're on a two.
00:52:11I'm looking for a ten.
00:52:13Yeah.
00:52:13Sorry, it's a no for me, but I want to see you in theatre.
00:52:17There's some beauty in there.
00:52:19Yeah.
00:52:20But it was mixed in with a lot of tragedy.
00:52:23Thank you so much.
00:52:24Thank you, mate.
00:52:25Ciao, ciao.
00:52:25Beautiful.
00:52:27Bye, I'll see you later.
00:52:28Back out that tunnel.
00:52:29Thank you, Hass.
00:52:29Thank you, buddy.
00:52:30See you later.
00:52:31I was like, I don't know what key he was singing.
00:52:33I thought he was gonna reach it again.
00:52:34He, like, went up to seven other keys.
00:52:36He's like, give my all to you.
00:52:40Next, please.
00:52:42Hi.
00:52:43Hello.
00:52:43How are you?
00:52:44You look amazing.
00:52:46Welcome.
00:52:46What's your name?
00:52:47Lucky.
00:52:47Lucky, I'm Ricky.
00:52:49So nice to meet you.
00:52:50Oh, wow.
00:52:51You've really brought your cheese squad with you, haven't you?
00:52:54I know.
00:52:55Wow.
00:52:57I'm Lucky, I'm 20, and I'm from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
00:53:02I started dancing when I was about five.
00:53:06My parents decided to chuck me in dance classes, because I used to be obsessed with boogieing
00:53:10along with the Wiggles.
00:53:12I've got to dance with Katy Perry and Tones and I.
00:53:16Being on stage, hearing all those fans screaming was so surreal.
00:53:20And I was like, wow, maybe that could be me one day.
00:53:23I'm ready to go from being in the background to taking centre stage.
00:53:27What are you gonna be singing today?
00:53:29Today, I'm singing I'm Out of Love by Anastasia.
00:53:32Yeah.
00:53:34Amazing.
00:53:35I love that song.
00:53:37I love that song so much.
00:53:38I also love that song a lot.
00:53:40Bit of a throwback.
00:53:41Oh, my gosh.
00:53:41You wouldn't have even been born when this song came out.
00:53:43Yeah.
00:53:45My goodness.
00:53:46You weren't even born when this song came out.
00:53:48Anyway, I'm sure you're gonna be amazing.
00:53:50Good luck in there.
00:53:51They're ready for you.
00:53:52Good luck.
00:53:54Bye.
00:53:57How exciting.
00:53:59Okay, you guys.
00:54:01You're not gonna believe me when I say this.
00:54:03Anastasia's in there.
00:54:05Oh, no.
00:54:06I'm not even joking.
00:54:07Anastasia's a guest judge today and he's singing Anastasia's song.
00:54:11Oh, you need to be good.
00:54:12Oh, no.
00:54:13Anastasia.
00:54:14He better be good.
00:54:17Hello.
00:54:18Hello.
00:54:24You're not gonna believe me when I say this.
00:54:27Anastasia's in there.
00:54:28Oh, no.
00:54:29Oh, no.
00:54:30I'm not even joking.
00:54:31Anastasia's a guest judge today and he's singing Anastasia's song.
00:54:34Oh, you better be good.
00:54:35Oh, you better be good.
00:54:36Anastasia.
00:54:37You better be good.

00:54:46My name's Lockie.
00:54:47I'm 20 and I'm from the Mornington Peninsula in Victoria.
00:54:51Lockie.
00:54:51We have a guest judge.
00:54:54Hi.
00:54:55By the name of Anastasia.
00:54:57Oh, my God.
00:54:57He's come a long way.
00:54:58How are you?
00:54:59To help us today.
00:55:01So, what brings you here today?
00:55:02Like, have you been singing, performing?
00:55:04Is this the dream?
00:55:05Tell us about yourself.
00:55:06I come from a bit of a dance background and I've been really lucky to be able to perform
00:55:10for a couple of artists as a dancer.
00:55:13And that's been such an inspiring, like, experience.
00:55:16And I'm kind of ready to just take that next step.
00:55:18And rather than be behind the artist, I'm ready to be that artist.
00:55:22What artist have you worked with?
00:55:23I was one of the field dancers for Katy Perry at the AFL Grand Final.
00:55:28Oh, wow.
00:55:29That was a big choreographer.
00:55:30You mean dance dance.
00:55:32That is awesome, man.
00:55:34I started, crazy enough, I actually started as a dancer and wasn't really thinking of singing.
00:55:40I was in videos and stuff like that and then producers were like, do you sing?
00:55:45And I'm like, I think I do.
00:55:45So, not that I didn't, I just didn't really think about it.
00:55:49That's crazy.
00:55:50But, you know, if you have that gift as well, it's just a double threat.
00:55:54So, what are you going to perform today?
00:55:56Well, I'm actually performing I'm Out of Love by Anastasia.
00:56:00Oh, God!
00:56:01You are?
00:56:02Yes.
00:56:03Okay.
00:56:03But I've done a bit of a flip on it.
00:56:05We're doing like a little acoustic version.
00:56:07Oh.
00:56:07Yeah.
00:56:08Okay, that is fun.
00:56:09Oh, my God.
00:56:10No pressure.
00:56:11Lucky.
00:56:11So ready.
00:56:12I bet you when you were picturing your audition on the way here this morning, you weren't
00:56:15picturing Anastasia to actually be sitting here.
00:56:18No.
00:56:19Judging.
00:56:19It is a hard song to sing, so.
00:56:21Yes.
00:56:22It is.
00:56:22I'm sorry for you.
00:56:24Whenever you're ready, buddy.
00:56:25Good luck.
00:56:55Cool.
00:56:57Yeah.
00:56:57Wow.
00:57:08I know.
00:57:10No, no.
00:57:10No, no.
00:57:13No.
00:57:13No, no, no.
00:57:16Yeah, I know.
00:57:19I'm out of love and set me free
00:57:22Let me out this misery
00:57:26Oh my god, that's actually giving me goosebumps
00:57:28To get my life again
00:57:31Cause you can't handle me
00:57:34Said I'm out of love
00:57:36Can't you see
00:57:38Sounds right
00:57:39Baby, you gotta set me free
00:57:42I'm out of love
00:57:44Let me get over you
00:57:47The way you've gotten over me too
00:57:52Feels like my time has come
00:57:55And I'll be moving on
00:58:00I'll be stronger
00:58:02I'm out of love
00:58:05Set me free
00:58:07Let me out this misery
00:58:10Show me the way to get my life again
00:58:16Cause you can't handle me
00:58:19The control
00:58:20His tone is insane
00:58:21Can't you see
00:58:23Baby, you gotta set me free
00:58:32I'm out of love
00:58:36Oh my lord
00:58:38Oh my lord
00:58:40Oh my lord
00:58:41I am absolutely shocked
00:58:44I have never heard my song sound like that
00:58:47First of all, might steal the arrangement
00:58:50Just saying
00:58:52And also your tone
00:58:53And everything
00:58:55Your falsetto
00:58:56Like you're really good
00:58:58Thank you
00:58:59Like the feeling
00:59:00That comes out of you
00:59:01Is a whole different
00:59:02The moodiness of what that song created
00:59:05It's not even my song anymore
00:59:07Like I was
00:59:08I was getting chills
00:59:09Yeah
00:59:09That was, you know
00:59:11Wow
00:59:11What can I say
00:59:13Boyfriend, you can sing
00:59:14Thank you
00:59:15So much
00:59:16I really appreciate that
00:59:17You didn't buckle under pressure
00:59:18No
00:59:19That's pressure
00:59:20I felt like I was watching like a Sam Smith or something
00:59:22Like you've been doing this forever
00:59:24Like Kyle, are you losing your mind over there or what?
00:59:27Yeah, no, he is exactly what I'm looking for
00:59:29Like Sam Sparrow-y vibes
00:59:31Sam Smith-y vibes
00:59:32Straight on the radio tomorrow
00:59:34That's what I'm looking for
00:59:35Who wants to kick this off?
00:59:37Yes
00:59:37Yes
00:59:38Three yeses
00:59:39Yes
00:59:39There you go
00:59:40Four yeses
00:59:41Easy as that
00:59:42Wild
00:59:42We'll see you in the Savo
00:59:44Where we hand out the golden ticket
00:59:46Hopefully you get one
00:59:47But
00:59:47I think we should just do this
00:59:49Get over here
00:59:49Get over here
00:59:50What?
00:59:50Now we're doing
00:59:51This has not happened
00:59:53Come here
00:59:54This is
00:59:55This is because
00:59:56You didn't even need to sing the rest of the song
00:59:58You just needed like
00:59:59One line in
01:00:00I was ready to throw them all at you
01:00:01She does what she wants
01:00:03We don't hand those out
01:00:05At this stage
01:00:06No
01:00:07Like four yeses
01:00:08Come on, man
01:00:09I think it's just a given
01:00:10That's right
01:00:11Yeah
01:00:11Yeah, definitely
01:00:13That's crazy
01:00:14Don't tell the others

01:04:30When they said Lachie had the ticket

01:06:44Will it be that 70s chick, Jamie,
01:06:47Geelong rocker, Josh,
01:06:49or our musical Viking, Bo?
01:06:53Bo and Josh are incredible.
01:06:57They're definitely competition, for sure.
01:06:59Yeah, I could definitely get cut right now, you know?
01:07:03Everyone is extremely talented.
01:07:05They're just...they're stacked with...
01:07:07They're oozing with talent and...
01:07:11It's emotional because I want to be that cut above.
01:07:15It's exciting at the same time, but it's also a bit daunting too.
01:07:18The golden ticket could change my life.
01:07:28Wow.
01:07:30Hey, what a line-up.
01:07:32It's quite the trio.

01:07:45and it's never easy at this stage.
01:07:51There is only one golden ticket left.
01:07:56The last entry into our Top 30.
01:08:00Three whopping voices, completely different.
01:08:04Yeah.
01:08:05But the ticket is going to go to someone
01:08:08who we feel is really ready
01:08:11to take this step in their career.
01:08:14So, the person going through to the Top 30

01:09:33She jumped.
01:09:34I'm not crying.
01:09:35I didn't want to cry.
01:09:35She wanted it.
