00:02:25absolutely I love me some milk yeah me too so what are you gonna sing singing some Adele so
00:02:31oh Adele no that's a big sing honey I know I know she's I was expecting like it I don't
00:02:37know pop star
00:02:39honestly I thought I'd do a bit more dancing around but I feel like we're keeping it chill today okay
00:02:43okay you definitely look like what we're looking for thank you but we need the entire package yeah
00:02:50so let's see how your pipes are I'm looking forward to hearing you sing thank you very much whenever
00:02:55you're ready awesome
00:03:08when the rain is blowing in your face
00:03:13and the whole world is on your case
00:03:21I could offer you a warm embrace
00:03:26to make you feel my love
00:03:33I know you haven't made your mind up yet
00:03:39oh but I would never do you wrong
00:03:45I've known it from the moment that we met
00:03:52no doubt in my mind where you belong
00:03:58I'd go hungry I'd go black and blue
00:04:04and I'd go crawling down the avenue
00:04:10no there's nothing I wouldn't do
00:04:16to make you feel my love
00:04:30that's all good that's all good
00:04:32all good nice right
00:04:34yes but it is not what I expected from you
00:04:39I didn't expect a young beautiful vibrant structured model looking girl
00:04:43to come in and sing old sad lady songs
00:04:48I know you can do that
00:04:51but that's just not going to cut it the singers we've got this year are incredible
00:04:55we get one song to make our decision and as nice as that was
00:05:01i'm not sure whether you're strong enough to be put forward
00:05:06what do you think ladies um beautiful voice
00:05:11but i kind of see where kyle's coming from it just feels like yeah a bit detached
00:05:17i could sort of see your your sassiness coming through that song i was like oh she's holding back
00:05:23a little bit that's exactly what she did say that she did say that before she performed
00:05:27she's not going to do anything you're going to stand still and sing
00:05:29we don't have a magic crystal ball here i want to see what i'm offered
00:05:36i never do this ever
00:05:39i want you to go away pick a song that actually shows us who you are and come back and
00:05:45re-audition
00:05:46more just want to like see that in the next audition maybe if you say yes
00:05:50i can show you that in the next one there's no next one you're coming back to re-audition with
00:05:55a
00:05:55new song would you do that yeah i can read some yeah you're gonna
00:05:59have a chance to reprocess what it is you want to do i believe that's the singer that you just
00:06:05sang that's what you want to do but i'm going to humor them is that what you want to do
00:06:10i've got other songs i want to dance so i want to perform you you want to you want to
00:06:15strut around
00:06:16you cool with that yeah yeah okay i gotta go study some lyrics welcome to the music business yeah
00:06:24all right thank you thank you so much for your time
00:06:31we've got a re-audition what i know wait what so i gotta redo it
00:06:36hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on hang on what yeah they were just like
00:06:41you didn't do
00:06:43much you know they're like you can it sounds like you can dance and you can sing and you can
00:06:46be a
00:06:46full number so you should do that and i was like hang on so they've told sorry sorry to like
00:06:52bombard you
00:06:53wait wait wait hang on that does not happen yeah that doesn't it it does not happen no kyle said
00:06:59he never does this so they want you to choose a song that shows just showcases yeah i think so
00:07:04what's a bit more like energy what's the part of you that they want to see i think this part
00:07:09like
00:07:09what i look like okay so i get it i feel like i look not adele i don't know what
00:07:13to sing okay all
00:07:15right let's go find you a song let's do this let's go all right gotta lock in oh my gosh
00:07:19i think
00:07:20that she will like create the look and the end the sound imagine she went a bit gaga you know
00:07:26what
00:07:26i mean yeah yeah yeah yes i think that was the right decision yeah of course it was there's already
00:07:31so much incredible talent we've unearthed and we only have 13 golden tickets left it's really important
00:07:37to separate the weak from the strong early just so we're focusing on real contenders thanks all the
00:07:43memories thanks all the memories see he tastes like you on the sweeter
00:07:52i'm gonna say no i'm saying no because i don't think you can win not because i don't like what
00:07:58you've done and i don't love the passion look don't get me wrong giving it a go is great i'm
00:08:03all for it
00:08:07but we don't hand out participation medals here
00:08:12it's really tough this competition i thought you're going to be honest that was really bad but
00:08:19but that's because i care forget about the prize time this year the game has changed the voices are

00:27:43you know what
00:28:00that's what i'm dying for
00:28:02That's what I'm sighing for
00:28:04That's what I'm sighing for
00:28:13For me
00:28:16For me
00:28:37What am I going to do with that?
00:28:39And that has a place on stage
00:28:42Look, if I paid $12 at lunchtime
00:28:44To sit in a theatre and watch opera
00:28:46That would be spectacular
00:28:48But you're in the wrong place
00:28:50It was so good
00:28:52Thank you
00:28:53That is not an easy thing to do
00:28:57Even with your acting through it
00:29:00Oh man, I enjoyed every second of that
00:29:02That was so, so brilliant
00:29:04I'm very glad
00:29:05Yeah
00:29:05Thank you
00:29:06You know you've got a beautiful operatic voice
00:29:08But you know, look, I did study opera as a kid
00:29:10I used to say to God, please make me a commachero
00:29:13I just want to sing those high notes
00:29:15You're a beautiful singer
00:29:16You want to be a commachero?
00:29:17You're going to need a different jacket
00:29:20Okay, I think we've goo-gooed and gargaed enough
00:29:22Over someone and a group of people
00:29:24That we're never going to do anything with
00:29:26I'm goo-goo-gargaing and I'm going to say no
00:29:28It's not really something that will probably go very far
00:29:32In this competition
00:29:33I really appreciated that performance
00:29:36I can't speak for my colleague
00:29:37But you know
00:29:39That's all that matters
00:29:40Thank you very much
00:29:41It's a no from me
00:29:41But I appreciate what you just did
00:29:43Thank you guys
00:29:44Thank you, bye-bye
00:29:45She's funny
00:29:45Good luck, Amelia
00:29:46Excellent work
00:29:47Thank you guys
00:29:48Well done
00:29:49These are a few of my favourite things
00:29:52There he is
00:29:53I simply remember
00:29:55My favourite things
00:29:56And then I don't feel so bad
00:30:00Okay
00:30:01Don't hear that
00:30:02It'll ruin millions of dollars of marketing
00:30:04Everyone got that, right?
00:30:06Still to come
00:30:07Sophie struggles to pick a song
00:30:10To show the artist she really is
00:30:12It is a massive kerb ball
00:30:13But I understand what Kyle was trying to say
00:30:17I feel like I look different to what I was singing
00:30:19Can Rikki's advice help her in the biggest decision of her life?
00:30:24There's a way that we can use your jazzy, sassy, young, fresh
00:30:31But do you know, I heard an amazing version
00:30:34Have you ever done Tainted Love?
00:30:37So is Tainted Love something that you've done?
00:30:39Yeah
00:30:40Yeah
00:30:41Do you think you can
00:30:42I could, yeah
00:30:43Sink your teeth into it
00:30:44I think it'd be like a good song to do
00:30:47Yeah, we can do something with this for sure
00:30:49Yeah
00:30:50All right
00:30:50Well, do you want to maybe
00:30:51We'll get the music team to maybe
00:30:53Someone can play on the piano
00:30:55And you can have a little play
00:30:56That'd be perfect
00:30:57Okay
00:30:57Okay, let's go
00:30:58Let's do this
00:30:59Tainted Love
00:31:01Tainted Love
00:31:02Sometimes
00:31:03Sometimes
00:31:04I feel I've got to
00:31:06Got, got
00:31:08Nice
00:31:08Nice
00:31:09Yeah
00:31:10I like that
00:31:11Get away
00:31:11Yeah
00:31:14But first
00:31:16Does this data analyst have what it takes to win Australian Idol
00:31:20Thank you, Michael
00:31:23And one barber from Ballarat
00:31:28Really, you're going to say yes with that lacklustre audition
00:31:32Divides the judges
00:31:34But there was a lot
00:31:35We just went through the whole thing
00:31:36He's got style
00:31:36He's got a really cool voice
00:31:38Yeah, but I've got style
00:31:39And I've got a good voice too
00:31:56One thing I've learned about Idol
00:31:58Is that every singer approaches their audition in their own unique way
00:32:01Some focus on the singing
00:32:03Others like to show off their personality
00:32:05And then there are those
00:32:07Who are all about the look
00:32:09Hi
00:32:10How are you guys
00:32:11Very well
00:32:12How are you going
00:32:13Hi
00:32:13Wow, you look incredible
00:32:15Don't you look lovely
00:32:18Next top model auditions in the next studio
00:32:21I think for me, you know, when someone walks in
00:32:24And they look amazing
00:32:25And they come in confident
00:32:27Hello, how are you
00:32:28And they stand there
00:32:30And they open their mouth
00:32:32And then
00:32:34I am a fighter
00:32:37Before this fight is over
00:32:40They suck
00:32:41You'll know my name before I go
00:32:46It just isn't quite there
00:32:48So it's a no from me
00:32:50Thank you, Jamie
00:32:51Thank you, though
00:32:52That's okay
00:32:52Bye, Dal
00:32:53Thank you
00:32:53God is good
00:32:56And yeah
00:32:57Yeah
00:32:58Come on
00:32:59Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:33:01What if God was one of us
00:33:04What if he was?
00:33:06Call me on my cell phone
00:33:10Late night when you need my love
00:33:13Oh, bro
00:33:14I can't
00:33:15I have to do this
00:33:17It's very rarely done
00:33:19You're a strapping bloke
00:33:20But man, that showed everything that this show is not
00:33:23Not
00:33:24Yeah
00:33:26Obviously, you're a good-looking young man
00:33:28With no future in singing
00:33:30You seem to know what it should be
00:33:32But I'm not sure you actually got to where you need to be
00:33:37Today, it's going to be a no from me
00:33:38I wish I could sing it again
00:33:40It's a no from me as well
00:33:42Thank you
00:33:43Thank you, guys
00:33:43Nice to meet you
00:33:44Nice to meet you
00:33:45It's the idle illusion
00:33:46They look like they could be on the cover of Rolling Stone
00:33:48But then they just don't sound the part
00:33:52Good-looking man
00:33:53What's your name?
00:33:55My name's Harry Lamb
00:33:56Harry Lamb
00:33:57Where are you from, Harry Lamb?
00:33:58I'm from Ballarat
00:33:59Ballarat?
00:34:01Yeah, regional Victoria
00:34:02Yeah, I know exactly where Ballarat is
00:34:05Harry Lamb from Ballarat
00:34:06What do you do there?
00:34:08I have a barbershop in Ballarat
00:34:09So I cut hair through the week
00:34:11Oh, wow
00:34:11And then play gigs on the weekend
00:34:23I've been cutting hair for eight years now
00:34:26What are we thinking today, man?
00:34:28A bit of a melody sort of vibe
00:34:30Worked really hard at building a bit of a music career for myself
00:34:34I really enjoy doing both
00:34:35It's more just trying to find the hours in the day sometimes
00:34:38I really do love both
00:34:39But I'd say music probably comes out on top for me
00:34:43It's definitely something that I
00:34:46See myself doing forever
00:34:47Anyway
00:34:48Yeah
00:34:54Harry Lamb, the barber from Ballarat
00:34:56The barber from Ballarat
00:34:57What are we going to sing today, then?
00:34:59I'm doing Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
00:35:01Oh, that's a good old song, man
00:35:03And if you kicked it up a notch here
00:35:05We're going to...
00:35:05I've kind of pulled it back the other way
00:35:07It's a little bit more folky
00:35:09Okay, great
00:35:09Yeah, a bit more stripped
00:35:10And that's sort of a record
00:35:12That folky vibe is what you'd do if you got through this
00:35:15For sure, yeah
00:35:16I'd definitely play a lot more folky sort of stuff
00:35:18Okay, I'm excited
00:35:20Awesome
00:35:21All right
00:35:22Harry Lamb from Ballarat
00:35:23Looking forward to seeing what you've got, man
00:35:25Good luck
00:35:26Thank you, cheers
00:35:26When you're ready
00:35:40When you're ready
00:35:42Rising up
00:35:42Back on the street
00:35:44Took my time
00:35:46Took my chances
00:35:49When the distance
00:35:51Now I'm back on my feet
00:35:53To fight
00:35:54Will to survive
00:35:58So many times
00:36:00It happens so fast
00:36:02Change your time
00:36:04And for glory
00:36:07Don't lose your kisses
00:36:09And fight on the feet
00:36:13They're my life
00:36:17He forgot the words, didn't he?
00:36:18It's the eye of the tiger
00:36:20It's the thrill of the fight
00:36:22Rising on to the challenge of our rivals
00:36:27And the last known survivor
00:36:29Stalks his prey in the night
00:36:31And he's watching this soar through the eyes
00:36:38Oh, the tiger
00:36:44The eye of the tiger
00:36:52The eye of the tiger
00:36:55The eye of the tiger
00:37:00Oh, look at you little shy country boy
00:37:06How'd that feel, Harry?
00:37:08A little bit
00:37:08I've mucked up the words a bit
00:37:09Do you have them on your guitar?
00:37:12I've got them written on my arm
00:37:13Oh, I was going to say
00:37:14And I've still mucked it up
00:37:15I've done that before on the top of the guitar
00:37:17I could tell, like, obviously
00:37:19There were some times where
00:37:20You lost the lyrics or whatever
00:37:22But the best thing about it
00:37:24Was you didn't go
00:37:25Ah, crap
00:37:25You didn't stop
00:37:26Got to start again
00:37:27You know what I mean?
00:37:28Like, you were
00:37:28You just powered through it
00:37:30Which is professional
00:37:31Awesome
00:37:32It wasn't the best audition
00:37:33Yeah
00:37:34Because of that
00:37:35But, um
00:37:36But still
00:37:37There's promise
00:37:39Thank you
00:37:40And
00:37:41I'm going to say yes
00:37:43Thank you
00:37:45Really?
00:37:46You're going to say yes
00:37:46With that lacklustre audition?
00:37:49Without what?
00:37:50Like, there was a lot of good stuff in there
00:37:51But there was a lot
00:37:52We just went through the whole thing
00:37:53He's got style
00:37:53He's got a really cool voice
00:37:55Yeah, but I've got style
00:37:56And I've got a good voice too
00:37:58Yeah, you won't be able to write
00:37:59These performances on your arm
00:38:01You're going to walk out of here
00:38:01Looking like a bikey
00:38:03And, um, it's just not going to be good enough
00:38:07For me to give you a yes
00:38:11So, I'm going to be very honest with you
00:38:13You're great eye candy
00:38:15You look very, very good
00:38:17Thank you
00:38:18You're welcome
00:38:18I mean, look
00:38:19She just likes the hard-hitting question
00:38:21So, what I'm trying to say to you is
00:38:23You know, you're compelling to look at
00:38:26But you looked at the floor
00:38:28You look at the lights
00:38:29You look at your audience
00:38:32Yeah
00:38:32Give something of yourself
00:38:34Okay?
00:38:35You've got to learn
00:38:36Not to go in
00:38:37Because nobody else can go in there but you
00:38:40Yeah
00:38:40You have to give something of yourself
00:38:43That was an okay audition
00:38:46But that was a performance that I think you could really build upon
00:38:50For sure
00:38:52I can see you've got potential
00:38:55I think I'd say yes
00:38:56It's a yes from me
00:38:58Thank you so much
00:38:59I really appreciate that
00:39:00And I appreciate the advice
00:39:01Next time we see you
00:39:02We'll be handing out golden tickets
00:39:03You either get one
00:39:04Or you don't
00:39:05Thank you
00:39:06You're welcome
00:39:06Lots to work on
00:39:07Nice work, Harry
00:39:08Thank you so much
00:39:09Cheers
00:39:09See you later on
00:39:09Bye-bye
00:39:11It's put me on
00:39:12You know, on edge a little bit
00:39:13I'm not super comfortable
00:39:14But I got through
00:39:15So I'm happy with that
00:39:18Hi
00:39:19Hello
00:39:20How'd you go?
00:39:21It was okay
00:39:22Definitely wasn't my best performance
00:39:24Oh really?
00:39:25They said they saw the potential
00:39:27So two yeses
00:39:28We're on
00:39:29Yeah, go celebrate
00:39:30Congratulations
00:39:30Thank you
00:39:33The tension in the waiting room
00:39:35Now builds
00:39:36As Harry joins Kesha and Trey

00:40:08Here we go
00:40:08You're handsome
00:40:09Appreciate that

00:40:14Masha

00:40:16Get ready for Amy Cam
00:40:17She thinks she's the next Spielberg
00:40:20Oh no
00:40:21I forgot my latte was on the lid
00:40:25We're back at behind the scenes
00:40:27And Kyle's just spilt
00:40:28Coffee everywhere
00:40:29It's chaos
00:40:30Look at that mess
00:40:31One minute we're all judging
00:40:33Next minute Amy's doing her own filming
00:40:36That's your last coffee Kyle?

00:40:39Here we go
00:40:41Here we go

00:40:51Our next singer hoping to outshine the competition
00:40:54Is Victorian Michael
00:40:56I'm a data analyst
00:40:58So taking raw data
00:41:00And trying to present it in creative ways
00:41:03But I definitely present differently
00:41:05When I'm performing
00:41:10I'm very excited to show Australia
00:41:11What Michael K can do
00:41:13It could be a life-changing moment
00:41:16We'll say it right here
00:41:16This could be one of those moments
00:41:20I've always dreamed of being
00:41:21The next Australian Idol
00:41:23I think out of all the judges
00:41:24Kyle comes across as scary
00:41:27So I'm like
00:41:27If you like it
00:41:28I did something really well
00:41:30Let's go

00:42:19It's a deep song
00:42:20Yeah baby
00:42:21Is there a reason why that one?
00:42:23It was the first song I actually ever learnt to rap to
00:42:26When I used to just sing
00:42:27And then I was like
00:42:28Let me try to learn to rap
00:42:30And something about left eye

00:42:41Hope you enjoy it
00:42:41Thank you
00:42:52A lonely mother gazing out of the wind
00:42:56No staring at a sun that she just can't touch
00:43:00And if at any time he's in a jail
00:43:04She'll be by his side
00:43:06But he doesn't realize he hurts her so much
00:43:13But all the praying just ain't helping at all
00:43:17Another body laying cold in the gut
00:43:21Listen to me
00:43:23Don't go chasing waterfalls
00:43:27Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
00:43:32I know that you're gonna have it going
00:43:36Nothing at all
00:43:38But I think you're moving too fast
00:43:43I'll come on
00:43:45I seen a rainbow yesterday
00:43:46But too many storms
00:43:48How come I don't even a trace
00:43:49And not one God-given ray
00:43:50Is it because my life is ten shades of gray
00:43:52Pray on ten fade away
00:43:54So to praise him for the sun
00:43:55Didn't expect the rap man
00:43:56That's great
00:43:57He came even smooth with it
00:43:58Yeah
00:43:58Chances I blew to bring my life to a new
00:44:01Clear blue and unconditional skies
00:44:03I drive the tears from my eyes
00:44:04No more lonely cries
00:44:05Don't go chasing waterfalls
00:44:09Please stick to the rivers and the lakes that you're used to
00:44:14I know that you're gonna have it going
00:44:18Or nothing at all
00:44:20But I think you're moving too fast
00:44:23Oh, you're moving too fast
00:44:28Yeah
00:44:31Thank you, Michael
00:44:32Some serious riz there
00:44:36I loved it
00:44:37Thank you
00:44:39Thank the Lord
00:44:41You know Kyle is my brother from another mother
00:44:44A little bit cozy
00:44:45I love that
00:44:47That's right up your alley
00:44:48That is so great
00:44:49You've just got a great vibe
00:44:51A great energy
00:44:52A great look
00:44:52A great sound
00:44:53Thank you
00:44:54Yeah, cool rap sound too
00:44:55Not everyone has that
00:44:57No
00:44:57Like when some
00:44:58A lot of people can sing
00:45:00And then they go into the rap
00:45:01And it's just like
00:45:02Oh, a bit jarring
00:45:03But that was just flowed, man
00:45:05Thank you
00:45:06Really cool
00:45:07And I love your fit
00:45:08I love that you know who you are
00:45:10Thank you
00:45:10Um
00:45:11That was cool
00:45:12Yeah
00:45:12Masha?
00:45:13Michael, I'm gonna say just a couple things for you
00:45:15You sort of faulted here and there on some of your notes
00:45:18That's forgivable
00:45:19Thank you
00:45:19Yeah
00:45:20But listen to when you're listening to a track
00:45:23Don't rush yourself in it
00:45:25Just try and sit in it a bit more
00:45:27Otherwise, I think you did a sterling a great job
00:45:30That's some great advice
00:45:31I'll take that
00:45:31I'm gonna give you your first yes
00:45:33Thank you
00:45:34You need two out of three at least
00:45:36Well, I'll give you the second yes
00:45:38Oh
00:45:39Hey
00:45:40It's a yes from me
00:45:41Yay
00:45:41Really yes
00:45:42Thank you
00:45:43Brilliant
00:45:44We'll see you when we hand our golden tickets
00:45:46The next mission for you is to walk out of here
00:45:49With a golden ticket this afternoon
00:45:51Appreciate it
00:45:51Good luck, man
00:45:52Hopefully I see you with a golden ticket
00:45:54Thank you
00:45:54Thank you
00:45:55Thank you, Michael
00:45:56Well done, Michael
00:45:56Thank you so much
00:45:57That was just really great
00:45:58Lovely meeting y'all
00:45:59That was good
00:46:03How did you go?
00:46:04How did you go?
00:46:04How did you go?
00:46:06Three yeses
00:46:10I'm just trying to win
00:46:11I can't love it
00:46:14Really?
00:46:14That's what I was trying to impress
00:46:17Next
00:46:17I never do this
00:46:19Ever
00:46:20You're coming back to re-audition
00:46:21With a new song
00:46:24As her second shot at auditioning approaches
00:46:26Time is running out for Sophie
00:46:29This is lyrics
00:46:30You know them
00:46:31Yeah, I know
00:46:32I don't know why
00:46:33I'm swungling
00:46:35I know a lot of people don't get a second chance
00:46:37So this has to be the best performance of my whole life
00:46:40Will Sophie get redemption?
00:46:42I'm worried but it's fine
00:46:44It's fine
00:46:44Or will it have all been for nothing?
00:46:48And later
00:46:48Kyle goes into uncharted waters
00:46:51Just up here on our nine o'clock
00:46:53That's where the Navy base is
00:46:55To do what no judge has done before
00:46:58But will it be enough to convince Kyle?
00:47:01But you think you're ready
00:47:02I'm ready
00:47:03But do I think you're ready?
00:47:08Wow
00:47:10And later
00:47:11It brings me no joy
00:47:13To make it any more difficult
00:47:15Than it already is
00:47:16The golden ticket
00:47:19Is going to be awarded
00:47:21To
00:47:40This year we have travelled further than ever before
00:47:44To find the diamonds in the rough
00:47:46We are auditioning singers for Australian Idol
00:47:53Our judges have found outstanding singers
00:47:56Who have earned their spot in the top 30
00:48:00But that doesn't mean the hunt is over
00:48:02Kyle is on a mission
00:48:04To find the next Australian Idol
00:48:07So I'm going to jump on the little rubber ducky
00:48:09And we're going to stealth it in
00:48:10To the Navy base
00:48:12Jump on board
00:48:14And look for this woman
00:48:15A Navy officer that apparently
00:48:17Is an angelic singer
00:48:22My name is leading seaman Maddie Lee
00:48:24I'm 27 years old
00:48:25And I'm a maritime personnel operator
00:48:27Of the Royal Australian Navy
00:48:29I've been in for eight and a half years now
00:48:31And I'm really proud
00:48:33To be wearing this uniform every day
00:48:34As a serving member
00:48:35It's definitely been challenging
00:48:36But I've loved every minute of it
00:48:39Five minutes to eight o'clock sir
00:48:41Very good
00:48:41I'm always singing around the ship
00:48:44And it definitely helps me
00:48:47Get through all those tough times
00:48:49Has helped me get through
00:48:50A lot of my long deployments
00:48:52And being away
00:48:52It really helps me get through my day
00:48:57Hey guys
00:48:59Oh, oh
00:49:00I get the Navy gear
00:49:01Oh, this is fantastic
00:49:04Wish me luck
00:49:09We're away
00:49:13Just up here on our nine o'clock
00:49:15That's where the Navy base is
00:49:17So we're going to swing into the nine
00:49:19We're going to sneak on board
00:49:29I'm pretty excited about it
00:49:30I've never been on a naval ship
00:49:32Oh, it's exciting
00:49:33I've done deep sea fishing
00:49:35It's about as close as it gets
00:49:37Thank you guys
00:49:39The best
00:49:47Captain
00:49:49How are you, sir?
00:49:50Do I salute?
00:49:50Do I...
00:49:50Nice to meet you
00:49:52Oh, oh
00:49:53Am I allowed to push any of these buttons?
00:49:56What does that do?
00:49:58Oh my lord
00:50:00I think I've started a war
00:50:04Sorry
00:50:07Rick, please
00:50:09Yes, please
00:50:17Leading semen Lee
00:50:20Hello
00:50:21How are you?
00:50:22I'm good
00:50:23I'm Captain Kyle
00:50:24Oh, Captain Kyle
00:50:25Nice to meet you
00:50:26Sorry, the real captain's over there
00:50:27They said you're quite the singer
00:50:29Is that right?
00:50:29I am
00:50:30Everyone from the captain to right down
00:50:32Said you are Australia's greatest naval singer
00:50:36But, um, you're exactly what we're looking for
00:50:38Amazing
00:50:39And I thought while we're here now
00:50:40Yeah
00:50:41Might as well audition here in front of everyone
00:50:43Right now
00:50:45What is going on?
00:50:49I, I'm in shock
00:50:50I'm sick
00:50:51I'm still shaking
00:50:56Just take a second
00:50:57Because there's a few people that have gathered
00:50:59Oh, okay
00:51:00Just to show you some support
00:51:02You've got all your friends on the ship here
00:51:04And you've got your own navy band
00:51:06Let's go down
00:51:07Let's go down, everyone
00:51:24I'm so nervous now
00:51:26But, I'm ready
00:51:28I'm ready
00:51:28This is my time now
00:51:29I'm ready to go
00:51:34Yeah
00:51:39Maddie's here
00:51:40Maddie's going to audition
00:51:42If she does have what it takes
00:51:44I'll drag her back to Idol HQ
00:51:45And let her audition for all three judges
00:51:48Uh, do you want to see Maddie do her thing, everyone?
00:51:50Yeah
00:51:52Take a step up to the microphone, Maddie
00:51:54Good luck, honey
00:51:54Wish her the very best
00:52:06Everyone about what he's doing
00:52:10How it all turned to lights
00:52:14Sometimes I think that's better
00:52:17To never ask why
00:52:23Ever worried that it might be ruined
00:52:28Doesn't make you want to cry
00:52:31When you're out there doing what you're doing
00:52:36Tell me, are you just getting by, by, by
00:52:42Where there is desire
00:52:44There is gonna be a flame
00:52:46Where there is a flame
00:52:48Someone's bound to get burned
00:52:51Just because it burns
00:52:54Doesn't mean you're gonna die
00:52:56Gotta get up and try
00:52:59Try, try, try
00:53:02Gotta get up and try
00:53:04Try, try, try
00:53:07Gotta get up and try
00:53:09Try, try
00:53:11Gotta get up and try
00:53:14Try, try, try
00:53:16Gotta get up and try
00:53:19Try, try
00:53:22Yeah!
00:53:28Maddie, you did a great job.
00:53:30Your captain wasn't lying.
00:53:32That's fantastic.
00:53:33I'm going to take a couple of minutes
00:53:35and we'll let you guys know
00:53:36whether we're going to take her on the idle journey.
00:53:39I'm pretty nervous, but I felt good in the end.
00:53:41Yeah, I think I got into the groove of it
00:53:43once it really picked up, so...
00:53:45Yeah, I'm a bit nervous, so I really want him to say yes.
00:53:49You've got all your family out here
00:53:51that came out to watch you.
00:53:52Yeah.
00:53:53They're supposed to be doing some sort of work right now, aren't they?
00:53:56Yeah, this is work.
00:53:57What would you be doing if you weren't here?
00:53:58I'd be in my office right now.
00:54:00Right.
00:54:01Would you put this part of your career on hold
00:54:03for the chance to hit the Australian Idol stage?
00:54:06And should I even ask you to do that?
00:54:08You know what I mean?
00:54:09Like, this is a lot of difficulty.
00:54:10I'm ready to take that next step.
00:54:13Music is my passion.
00:54:14But you think you're ready.
00:54:14I'm ready.
00:54:15Do I think you're ready?
00:54:24I'd like to officially bring you back to Idol HQ
00:54:28and you'll either get a golden ticket
00:54:30or you won't get one.
00:54:31Oh, my God.
00:54:32Are you in?
00:54:33Yes.
00:54:33You're in.
00:54:34She's coming with me, everyone.
00:54:36She's coming with us.
00:54:38Yeah!
00:54:42Good luck, you guys.
00:54:43You have to defend the country on your own.
00:54:45I'm taking this one to Idol headquarters.
00:54:47Bye, everyone.
00:54:49Bye, everyone.
00:54:50Da, da, da, da, da.
00:54:54Da, da, da, da.
00:55:11Wow.
00:55:13So much.
00:55:15I've been waiting for such a long time.
00:55:19And it's finally happening.
00:55:23Oh, God.
00:55:30Coming up, it's Sophie's moment of truth.
00:55:34As I said before, we don't let anyone do it again.
00:55:38Can she deliver when it counts?
00:55:43Then, a final judgment face-off.
00:55:47This is a numbers game and we can only choose one of you.
00:55:50But who will get a golden ticket?
00:55:53The singer that we are giving the golden ticket to will be...
00:56:13With five singers in the waiting room,
00:56:16our next hopeful wants to be number six.
00:56:25And he's come all the way from the Apple Isle to make it happen.
00:56:29I'm Jacob.
00:56:30I'm 20.
00:56:31I'm from Exeter, just outside of Launceston in Tasmania.
00:56:38You don't really expect a hip-hop artist to be living out in the country like this.
00:56:42We've got chickens, we've got ducks, we've got sheep.
00:56:45They're the ducks.
00:56:46They're actually my favourite animal.
00:56:49We didn't come from a lot.
00:56:50We still, like, obviously had a roof over our heads and food to eat and stuff like that.
00:56:55So, for me, hip-hop is just a way to escape reality.
00:56:58Don't tell me this is all for nothing.
00:57:02It's about true struggles and stuff in your life.
00:57:05I can relate to that.
00:57:07When I was a younger teenager, I started getting into, you know, hanging around the wrong people,
00:57:12getting into the wrong sort of things like that.
00:57:15The only thing that pulled me out of that sort of rut was hip-hop.
00:57:19Hip-hop, for me, definitely saved my life.
00:57:22My music represents passion, drive and love for music, to be honest.
00:57:27That's my dream, being able to do what I love.
00:57:31If you ever leave, I hope that you learn.
00:57:34Tell me this is all for nothing.
00:57:36Who do we have here?
00:57:38I'm Jacob.
00:57:39Jacob, where are you from?
00:57:41I'm from Exeter in Tasmania.
00:57:43You're a Tassie boy.
00:57:44Yeah.
00:57:45Okay, where on the map?
00:57:47North Tasmania.
00:57:49Northern tip of Tasmania.
00:57:51Yeah, nearly the tip, just down the river, I'll say.
00:57:53So, what kind of artist are you, Jacob, or would you want to be?
00:57:57Like a mix between hip-hop and, I'll tell you, pop.
00:58:01Sort of like, you know, like Kid Leroy, Juice WRLD, that sort of style.
00:58:04Yeah, yeah.
00:58:05When you listen to Juice WRLD and Kid Leroy, it's like, it's so melodic.
00:58:09Yeah, and I like it because it's so raw.
00:58:11It's emotional.
00:58:12Yeah, it is angst.
00:58:14Yeah.
00:58:14It's thrown out in artistry.
00:58:16Yeah, exactly.
00:58:17What are you going to do today?
00:58:18I'm going to sing a rendition of Seven Years by Lucas Graham, and it's a hip-hop remix.
00:58:24Cool.
00:58:25Nice.
00:58:25Yeah.
00:58:27When you're ready, mate, take your time, no stress.
00:58:30Yeah.
00:58:30We want you to do well.
00:58:31Awesome.
00:58:32No worries, man.
00:58:39Once I was seven years old, my mom had told me, go make you so some friends, you'll be lonely.
00:58:47Once I was seven years old.
00:58:53As a young man, I just wanted to be famous.
00:58:55Hop, pop, pop, pop, pop, what you're saying?
00:58:57I was dreaming on the biggest of the stages.
00:58:59Singing to the wiggles, I was destined for the greatness.
00:59:01It was just me, my guitar, singing to my family, saying I'd go far.
00:59:05Two men of the jets and the Lamborghini cars.
00:59:07I was running for the hills, trying to look out at the park.
00:59:10All of these bullies came through, yelling in the crowd, all the MSA's boo.
00:59:13I was trying to figure out what the hell I do.
00:59:15Then I got it in the mood that I should just have a move.
00:59:18I didn't want to move, but I had to.
00:59:22I didn't want to move, but I had to.
00:59:25This ADHD has me feeling so crazy.
00:59:30And I know that it's the only thing that's made me.
00:59:33It's made my name.
00:59:35It's made my name.
00:59:37It's made my name.
00:59:39Once I was seven years old.
00:59:42Mama told me, go make yourself some friends, you'll be lonely.
00:59:47Once I was seven years old.
00:59:56Bro, I loved it.
01:00:00I was like, usually rappers, singers, they're really good at one and not so good at the other.
01:00:07And you started singing and I was like, hey, this guy's a singer.
01:00:11And then I thought, so his rapping's going to be crap.
01:00:14And then it was far from it.
01:00:16I believed it.
01:00:17You're not the best singer we've ever had on this contest by any stretch of the imagination.
01:00:22But I ate it up.
01:00:24I believed it.
01:00:25It was raw.
01:00:26It was very real.
01:00:27It's your life in art.
01:00:30And I loved it.
01:00:32I'm going to say yes.
01:00:34Thank you so much.
01:00:35What are you guys saying?
01:00:37You know, Jacob, I don't know how far you can go in this.
01:00:40But just because you had the chutzpah, you know, and the belief in yourself to say,
01:00:45I'm coming to Sydney, I'm going to show y'all on Australian Idol what I want to do.
01:00:52But I really like your vibe.
01:00:54It's a yes for me, Jacob.
01:00:56Thank you so much.
01:00:58I'm saying yes.
01:01:00Thank you so much.
01:01:01Three yeses, bro.
01:01:02Now it's up to you.
01:01:04Yep.
01:01:04I don't know the future, but golden ticket's the next thing you need to try and walk away with.
01:01:09Yep.
01:01:10Good on you, man.
01:01:11I'll come back for it.
01:01:12Jacob.
01:01:13Awesome.
01:01:14Thank you, guys.
01:01:14We'll call him Mappetazzy for short.
01:01:16Thank you, everybody.
01:01:17No worries, matey.
01:01:18See you, buddy.
01:01:19See ya.
01:01:19You're welcome.
01:01:22I got it.
01:01:26Go, Jacob.
01:01:28Well done.
01:01:29I'm getting in.
01:01:31Well done.
01:01:33Something about him I really like.
01:01:35He just, like, has his own thing going.
01:01:36That's what I want.
01:01:37It's like, oh, okay.
01:01:38Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:01:39Yeah, yeah, that's exactly right.
01:01:41Yeah.
01:01:41I liked him.
01:01:46Hello.
01:01:46Hello.
01:01:48What's up, brother?
01:01:49Wow.
01:01:49I liked that a lot.
01:01:50I really liked that.
01:01:50That was cool.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52I'm Jacob.
01:01:53How's it going, brother?
01:01:54Trey.
01:01:55Jacob, charging onto the scene as another rapper.
01:01:57This is really putting Trey and Michael on notice.
01:02:01Last one, everyone.
01:02:02Good luck, everybody.
01:02:05The last remaining hopeful is Melbourne model Sophie.
01:02:09Who struggled to let her personality shine earlier today.
01:02:13I didn't expect a young, beautiful girl to come in and sing old, sad lady songs.
01:02:19And in a rare twist, we'll re-audition with a new song.
01:02:24I'm going to hit you on your shirt.
01:02:26Okay, cool.
01:02:27I'm really passionate about this and I want this so bad, so I think it's about just, like,
01:02:31focusing in now and, like, really trying to impress them this time.
01:02:34I feel like I can't lack, you know, so I've got to lock in.
01:02:38Oh, hey, Sophie.
01:02:39Welcome back.
01:02:40I'm back.
01:02:40Oh, my God.
01:02:41Now, as I said before, we don't let anyone do it again.
01:02:45But we gave you a little challenge to come up with something new that actually shows us who you are.
01:02:51What have you chosen?
01:02:52We've got Tainted Love.
01:02:54Oh.
01:02:55Nice.
01:02:56Whenever you're ready.
01:02:57When you're ready, okay?
01:03:09Sometimes I feel I've got to run away.
01:03:14I've got to get away from the pain you drive into the heart of me.
01:03:21The love we share seems to go nowhere.
01:03:25Well, for I've lost my life.
01:03:28Now I told you...
01:03:30Amazing stage presence.
01:03:32Once I ran for you.
01:03:34Oh.
01:03:35Now I run for you.
01:03:38Just Tainted Love you give and I give you all the girls can give you.
01:03:43Take my tears and that's not nearly all.
01:03:47Tainted Love, whoa, Tainted Love.
01:03:51Don't touch me, please.
01:03:53I cannot stand the way you teach.
01:03:56I love you, but you hurt me so.
01:03:59Now I've got to back my heart.
01:04:01Take my tears and go.
01:04:02There it is.
01:04:03Once I ran for you.
01:04:05Now I run for you.
01:04:08This Tainted Love you give and I give you all the girls can give you.
01:04:13Let my tears and that's not nearly all.
01:04:17Tainted Love, whoa, Tainted Love.
01:04:21Don't touch me, please.
01:04:23It's Tainted Love.
01:04:25Oh, Tainted Love.
01:04:28Yeah.
01:04:29Wow.
01:04:30Yeah, baby.
01:04:33That's exactly what I was hoping you would do.
01:04:36You put on a show because you ticked so many boxes.
01:04:40I just wanted us to be super, super sure.
01:04:43And you did a great version of that song.
01:04:45I love your style.
01:04:46I love you.
01:04:47And I think, you know, you're going to learn more about your performance level if you get
01:04:52through to this.
01:04:53You know what I mean?
01:04:53For sure.
01:04:54I think there's a lot there.
01:04:55You're sassy, you're sexy, you know, and you've got a voice.
01:04:59Maybe I've enjoyed her that much that maybe we should get her to come back and sing a third
01:05:02song just to be sure.
01:05:04Please.
01:05:05That would be the end of me, I think.
01:05:06Sophie, that energy was just, like, so effortless for you.
01:05:10Oh, thank you.
01:05:10Like, and that's really hard for a lot of artists to just, you know, walk around and
01:05:14execute a performance like that.
01:05:16I felt what Kyle felt like.
01:05:18There was just something else in you that I felt like you restraining.
01:05:23But I'm so glad we got to see that because, wow, what are we going to see down the line
01:05:28is what I'm thinking.
01:05:29So I'm going to start it with a yes.
01:05:34I will give you your second yes.
01:05:37Thank you, Kyle.
01:05:38I'll give you a yes.
01:05:39Well done, darling.
01:05:40Thank you, guys.
01:05:41Well done, because that wouldn't have been easy to do.
01:05:42Oh, I appreciate you so much.
01:05:44Next time we see you, we'll be handing out golden tickets to people that will go through
01:05:48to the next round.
01:05:49Okay, cool.
01:05:50What a joy.
01:05:50Thank you, Sophie.
01:05:51Oh, thank you.
01:05:52Thank you for letting me sing two times, you know.
01:05:54Polite as well.
01:05:55Yep, she's super cool.
01:05:56That's great.
01:05:57Yeah, she'll be an interesting one to watch.
01:06:00The suspense is here.
01:06:04We made it!
01:06:09I'm feeling super grateful.
01:06:11I think this is just motivation to keep going through the next few rounds.
01:06:18Ah!
01:06:19Hi.
01:06:19Hello.
01:06:20Oh, my God.
01:06:20That was crazy.
01:06:21I'm Sophie.
01:06:22Nice to meet you.
01:06:22Harry.
01:06:22Love it.
01:06:23Trey and Harry.
01:06:23Yeah, I really want that golden ticket, and I'll do anything it takes to get it.
01:06:29With seven incredible singers in the waiting room, we have some of the toughest head-to-heads
01:06:35yet.
01:06:37Whose idol dream continues.
01:06:39I don't want to drag this out any longer.
01:06:41And whose dream is over.
01:06:44The golden ticket is going to be awarded to...
01:06:56As the sun sets on day five of auditions, it's time to get down to business and uncover the
01:07:03next Australian idol.
01:07:04With 17 golden tickets already gone, our hopefuls are beginning to feel the competition.
01:07:12I know that, like, we're probably not all going to get a ticket.
01:07:15The talent's, like, unreal.
01:07:17Everyone's such a different style.
01:07:19Obviously, you know, nervous to go up against them.
01:07:22There's a few similar artists in my group, so I am pretty scared.
01:07:27But music is my one and only passion.
01:07:29I need this.
01:07:36This will probably be a very tough one, because they're all pretty good.
01:07:39Yeah.
01:07:40This guy, he's fantastic.
01:07:42He was good.
01:07:42Swaggy guy down there.
01:07:43Oh, he was good, too.
01:07:44I like this guy's vibe.
01:07:46She was amazing.
01:07:48I mean, this is hard.
01:07:50I went down to the Sydney Naval Yards, where I found this young naval girl, Maddie.
01:07:58Oh, okay, cool.
01:08:01I've only met Kyle, but Marsha and Amy, they're some big names, so I'm definitely, I'm a bit
01:08:07nervous.
01:08:08All right, let's bring them in.
01:08:10First up, representing R&B and hip-hop, it's young dad Trey, data analyst Michael, and small
01:08:18town Tassie artist Jacob.
01:08:21I'm doing this for my wife, my daughters.
01:08:24I want to show my girls that anything is possible when you chase after your dreams, so this is
01:08:30definitely a huge step.
01:08:32Moving away from just being a data analyst to a musician, and that's the dream.
01:08:36I feel like we've just scratched the surface of what I can give, and we can give more.
01:08:41I've come all the way from Tasmania.
01:08:43I want to be able to put my entire state on the map.
01:08:47I've worked so hard for it, it's time to become a collector.
01:08:51Ready?
01:08:52Yo.
01:08:52Good luck.
01:08:58Wow, they're real nervous.
01:09:06Oh, the OGs are back.
01:09:08What's up, fellas?
01:09:12Trey.
01:09:13Yes.
01:09:14Our doting dad.
01:09:16Michael, our data analyst, and Jacob, the Tassie kid Leroy.
01:09:22I wish.
01:09:24The three of you all were very talented, and what you brought to the table was really cool.
01:09:28But this is a numbers game, and we can only choose one of you.
01:09:33All three of you bring such different flavors to this competition.
01:09:38But we always came back to one person, and that person is...
01:09:52It's going to be you, Trey.
01:09:55Thank you so much.
01:09:56Well done, buddy.
01:09:57Thank you, Michael and Jacob.
01:09:59Thank you very much.
01:10:00Appreciate meeting you guys.
01:10:01Thank you so much.
01:10:07Trey, come and get your golden ticket.
01:10:09Welcome to the Idol Top 30, my friend.
01:10:12Well done, bro.
01:10:13Excellent work, man.
01:10:14Welcome, welcome.
01:10:15Excellent job.
01:10:16Good to see you.
01:10:16Well done.
01:10:17Wow.
01:10:17You look so tough, but you're also just this big softie, aren't you?
01:10:21No, definitely a big softie.
01:10:22Definitely a big softie.
01:10:24You know what?
01:10:24Having a baby just melts all that hard ass away.
01:10:27Yeah, it changes you.
01:10:28We're so proud of you.
01:10:29Thank you so much.
01:10:30You're in.
01:10:30It means a lot to me.
01:10:32Thank you, Trey.
01:10:33You're a real contender.
01:10:34Good luck.
01:10:35Yeah, well done.
01:10:35Good job.
01:10:41Say, come on, dad.
01:10:43Come on, daddy.
01:10:49Check it out, look.
01:10:53Do you want to hold it?
01:10:55It's so shiny.
01:10:57It's the most beautiful thing to share this with my wife and daughter.
01:11:00My girls, you know, they keep me going.
01:11:03Oh, congratulations.
01:11:04That's awesome.
01:11:05Thank you, baby.
01:11:06It's a long road ahead of us still, so I'm just excited for what's to come.
01:11:11See you?
01:11:12Don't bend the golden ticket.
01:11:14What are you doing?
01:11:14Oh, I'm sorry, sorry.
01:11:17Next up to face the judges, it's Melbourne model Sophie and Ballarat barber Harry.
01:11:27I hope I was able to redeem what Kyle thought I was liking.
01:11:30Getting this golden ticket could do a lot with my career, but we're probably not all going
01:11:35to get a ticket in the back of my mind.
01:11:37I'm thinking about that.
01:11:39I am worried that my audition could potentially cost me the golden ticket.
01:11:43I was a little bit nervous, and that kind of put me on the back foot.
01:11:46I'm hoping that they saw through my performance.
01:11:49I've got a lot to showcase.
01:11:51I'm hoping I can get to do that.
01:11:54Hi.
01:11:55Oh, hello.
01:11:56Hello.
01:11:57It's the good-looking two.
01:11:59Sophie, our art pop model out of Melbourne, and we've got Harry, the barber from Ballarat.
01:12:06That's the one.
01:12:07Sophie, you did the Sad Old Lady song.
01:12:09Yep.
01:12:10And then we had to get you to come back and zip it up.
01:12:12What did you do?
01:12:13Tainted Love.
01:12:14I cannot stand the way you see I love you, but you hurt me, so now I've got to back
01:12:22my
01:12:22heart, thanks and go.
01:12:24That was good.
01:12:26And Harry, you fluffed the lyrics.
01:12:27I did.
01:12:28About halfway through.
01:12:29But you recuperated.
01:12:31And you're watching this all through the eyes of a tiger.
01:12:40You just got to roll with the punches.
01:12:42That's right.
01:12:42And you recovered.
01:12:43Yeah.
01:12:44It's a quite tough decision with you two, as you can imagine.
01:12:50You know, Idol's about the sound, the style, and you both definitely have elements of that
01:12:57in what you brought to the table.
01:12:59I don't want to drag this out any longer.
01:13:03It brings me no joy to make it any more difficult than it already is.
01:13:10The Golden Ticket is going to be awarded to...
01:13:23I don't want to drag this out any longer.
01:13:26Sophie and Harry.
01:13:28It brings me no joy to make it any more difficult than it already is.
01:13:36The Golden Ticket is going to be awarded to...
01:13:49Both of you.
01:13:50Watch me!
01:13:51Yay!
01:13:52You both get one.
01:13:54Step forward and claim your victory.
01:13:56Well done, guys.
01:13:57Well done, Harry.
01:13:58Thank you so much.
01:13:59Well done, Sophie.
01:14:01I'm so excited.
01:14:02You did it.
01:14:02I'm so excited.
01:14:03I can't wait for us to come, guys.
01:14:04It's going to be tough, but I can't wait to see what you're going to do.
01:14:06Really serious from now on.
01:14:08It's a tough contest.
01:14:09Yes, it is.
01:14:10Stay in the game.
01:14:11Keep your head in the game.
01:14:12Thank you so much, guys.
01:14:13See you, Harry.
01:14:14See you soon.
01:14:14Thank you, guys.
01:14:15See you soon.
01:14:17That's awesome.
01:14:18That's actually so nice.
01:14:22Do I hear Golden Ticket?
01:14:24Yes!
01:14:24I do!
01:14:25Congratulations!
01:14:26You do!
01:14:27I'm winning!
01:14:28It feels so good.
01:14:30Now it's the hard work, you know?
01:14:32Now it's the drive to keep going.
01:14:34Thank goodness!
01:14:35Wow.
01:14:36I really do love being a barber, but I'm excited at maybe the chance at a full-time music career,
01:14:41so hopefully this ticket can kind of put me on the right track for that.
01:14:43Bye, guys.
01:14:44Congratulations.
01:14:45Thank you so much.
01:14:45Have a great day with you.
01:14:45Welcome to the Top 30!
01:14:47Yay!
01:14:47Yay!
01:14:51Last to face the judges is singing skier from Jindabyne, Kesha, and Kyle's Navy Discovery,
01:14:57Maddie.
01:14:59Kyle's seen something in me, so I'm really hoping that that's pushed me across the line
01:15:04to get that Golden Ticket.
01:15:06I want to make myself so proud, and the Navy proud.
01:15:09I wouldn't be here today without them, so I really need to make them proud.
01:15:16I am hoping I've done enough.
01:15:18Getting in that Top 30 would really reassure me that people have faith in my music.
01:15:24I'm hoping that my performance stands out and they just like what they see.
01:15:29No, I've met you, but I haven't met you.
01:15:31Hi.
01:15:31I'm Maddie.
01:15:32I'm Ricky.
01:15:33Lovely to meet you.
01:15:33So nice to meet you.
01:15:35Where did you audition?
01:15:36On the ship.
01:15:37On the ship.
01:15:38Oh, my God.
01:15:39What an amazing way to audition.
01:15:41Yeah, definitely.
01:15:42All right, you guys, they're ready for you.
01:15:44Good luck.
01:15:52Hi.
01:15:52Hey.
01:15:54Hello, ma'am.
01:15:55Hello, Kyle.
01:15:55Good to see you again.
01:15:57Yes.
01:15:57Ladies, you have not met Maddie.
01:15:59No.
01:15:59Hi, Maddie.
01:16:00Hello.
01:16:00I showed them the video of you singing with all the band and all your shipmates.
01:16:06You did a great job there.
01:16:07You sang Pink.
01:16:08Yes, I did.
01:16:09Right there in amongst all the warships.
01:16:12Yep.
01:16:12And Kesha, good to see you.
01:16:14Born, bred in the snowy mountains.
01:16:16From the sea to the snow.
01:16:18How good.
01:16:19So, Maddie, we've seen your audition video, obviously, but there's nothing better than an IRL experience.
01:16:24Love that.
01:16:24So, if we could get a little taste of what you've got in the room, that would be amazing.
01:16:28Okay, when you're ready, Maddie, let's see what you've got.
01:16:32Bright light in the beautiful sea, I just to be happy.
01:16:37You and I, you and I, were like diamonds in the sky.
01:16:43I knew that we'd become one right away.
01:16:50Oh, right away.
01:16:53At first sight, I felt the energy of sun rays.
01:17:00I saw the light inside your eyes.
01:17:05Thanks, Maddie.
01:17:07Okay.
01:17:08Kesha, whenever you're ready, go for it.
01:17:10That Arizona sky burning in your eyes.
01:17:18So, when I'm all choked up and I can't find the words.
01:17:25Every time we say goodbye, babe, it hurts.
01:17:31When the sun goes down and the band won't play.
01:17:39Always remember us this way.
01:17:46Okay, now you've made it harder, ladies.
01:17:48Such different voices.
01:17:50We have to have a chat.
01:17:54So, yeah, um, I think it's very obvious.
01:17:59That's what you think?
01:18:00I can say.
01:18:01Are you guys happy with us?
01:18:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:18:03I, I, I, I.
01:18:04Okay.
01:18:06Okay, both really nice voices.
01:18:10Only one ticket.
01:18:12The singer that we are giving the golden ticket to will be Kesha.
01:18:27This is me.
01:18:28You get the ticket.
01:18:30Maddie, so sorry.
01:18:31Protect our shores, ma'am.
01:18:33Fabulous.
01:18:34I hope we see you again.
01:18:35It's so nice to meet you, Maddie.
01:18:36Kesha, step forward and receive your golden ticket, ma'am.
01:18:40Hey, well done.
