00:00:02You've got supernatural power
00:00:06Yeah, you're supernatural
00:00:08Good morning, waking up around the country on Kiss Event.
00:00:11Good morning, Melbourne.
00:00:12Hi, Sydney.
00:00:13This is the Kyle and Jackie O Show.
00:00:15We've got just two days left of Australian Idol auditions.
00:00:18We have scoured the country to uncover the very best of the best.
00:00:22Let me tell you, we've already found really good ones this year.
00:00:24Superb.
00:00:25We've already handed out a stack of golden tickets.
00:00:30And if you're driving under the Sydney Harbour Bridge this morning,
00:00:33give Amy's shark away.
00:00:34Have a little look up.
00:00:35She's up there about to take auditions to the next level,
00:00:39and I mean literally.
00:00:43Oh.
00:00:48Just don't look too close.
00:00:50She's probably clinging to the railing like it's a lifeboat.
00:00:59Heights and Amy's shark, yeah, they're not the best of mates.
00:01:05Is it moving for anyone else or just me?
00:01:08Feels like it's moving.
00:01:12Today I'm not just raising the bar,
00:01:14I'm raising the stage to be the highest audition ever.
00:01:19Forget the audition room.
00:01:20This is the new audition room with a view.
00:01:23Are you straining to break from the chain?
00:01:28So I've had the Idol team source two singers from the line.
00:01:33Do you know where you're going?
00:01:34Nope.
00:01:35I have no idea where I'm going.
00:01:39There is Lydia.
00:01:42Hi, I'm Lydia.
00:01:44I am 24 years old, and I am from the Northern Beaches.
00:01:48I'm chaotic, bubbly, and I'd say fun.
00:01:53I think so.
00:01:55She's got wild red hair,
00:01:57and she looks like she's already got that superstar look.
00:02:00I've just loved to perform.
00:02:01I love to be on stage.
00:02:03And then there's Jamie,
00:02:04who works in retail in the southwest of Sydney.
00:02:07He is an aspiring model,
00:02:09and I'm just hoping he has the vocals to match the look.
00:02:12I'm willing to do whatever it takes
00:02:14to impress the judges in this competition, trust me.
00:02:19So, like, yeah, bring it on.
00:02:24Why am I kind of nervous to click play?
00:02:28Hello.
00:02:29I know you thought you were going to be singing at Idol HQ,
00:02:32but I have something way more exciting planned.
00:02:37You'll be auditioning for me
00:02:39at the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
00:02:46What?
00:02:48I will see you very soon.
00:02:50What?
00:02:55Like, on the top, top, top.
00:02:57That's insane.
00:02:59I've always said I wanted to do the Harbour Bridge walk.
00:03:02Didn't expect it to be like this.
00:03:06In just a few moments,
00:03:07they're going to audition for me
00:03:09and the entire city
00:03:11right here on the bridge.
00:03:15The view is gnarly.
00:03:18The view is gnarly.
00:03:23It's insane.
00:03:24It's really actually insane.
00:03:26But, um,
00:03:28we're doing it.
00:03:32Oh, my God, that's so iconic.
00:03:34There's a kookaburra on the bridge.
00:03:37It's the most iconic day of everyone's lives.
00:03:41Oh, my God, that's insane, guys.
00:03:43Hey, buddy.
00:03:45Don't get that.
00:03:47Delete that.
00:04:01Oh, my God.
00:04:02Lydia, Jamie.
00:04:04Welcome to my office.
00:04:06Yeah.
00:04:07Hey.
00:04:07Welcome to the most iconic stage.
00:04:10This is going to be
00:04:11your Australian Idol audition.
00:04:14That will go down in history, by the way.
00:04:17Basically, I wanted to see performances
00:04:19that were on the same level
00:04:21as this incredible stage.
00:04:24I can only take one of you through.
00:04:27All right.
00:04:28Well, maybe, Jamie.
00:04:29Okay.
00:04:30If you want to show me what you got.
00:04:31What are you going to sing?
00:04:33I'm singing Feeling Good.
00:04:34Okay.
00:04:35I'm feeling good.
00:04:36You feeling good?
00:04:36I'm feeling great.
00:04:37Awesome.
00:04:38All right.
00:04:39In your own time, Jamie.
00:05:04It's a new day.
00:05:08It's a new life for me.
00:05:15And I'm feeling good.
00:05:20It's a new dawn.
00:05:22It's a new day.
00:05:24It's a new life.

00:05:31And I'm feeling good.
00:05:41Wow.
00:05:42How do you feel?
00:05:43I feel great.
00:05:44Like, I kind of felt like
00:05:45I was in, like, the mood.
00:05:46It's actually pretty chill
00:05:47singing up here.
00:05:48I've got to say.
00:05:49Jamie.
00:05:50Like, it's kind of fun.
00:05:51You honestly couldn't have
00:05:52looked cooler just then.
00:05:53Oh, my God.
00:05:53Just watching you.
00:05:55And you've got so much charisma
00:05:56and a really beautiful voice.
00:05:58And I really love
00:05:59how much passion you put into that.
00:06:00That was really, really awesome.
00:06:02Thank you so much.
00:06:03Oh, good.
00:06:04Okay.
00:06:05Lydia.
00:06:06Me.
00:06:06You're up.
00:06:07So I'm singing
00:06:08Born This Way.
00:06:08Okay, great.
00:06:09Amazing.
00:06:10Another good one.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:15My mama told me when I was young
00:06:18We were all born superstars
00:06:23She wore my hair
00:06:24I put my lipstick on
00:06:26In the glass of her boudoir
00:06:29Hey
00:06:31Nothing wrong with loving
00:06:33Who you are
00:06:34She said
00:06:34Cause I made you perfect, babe
00:06:38So hold your head up, girl
00:06:40And you'll go far
00:06:42Listen to me when I say
00:06:45I'm beautiful in my way
00:06:47Cause God makes no home mistakes
00:06:49I'm on the right track
00:06:51Baby, I was wrong this way
00:06:53Don't add yourself in regret
00:06:55Just love yourself in your set
00:06:57I'm on the right track
00:06:59Baby, I was born this way
00:07:01Ooh, there ain't no other way
00:07:03Baby, I was born this way
00:07:05Baby, I was born this way
00:07:08Born this way
00:07:09Ain't no other way
00:07:11Baby, I was on the right track
00:07:14Baby, I was born this way
00:07:16Yeah
00:07:17Woo!
00:07:18God damn
00:07:19Wow
00:07:20Oh my God, what a treat
00:07:23Singing Born This Way in general
00:07:25And then they're singing it right here
00:07:27Up this high
00:07:29Yeah, I feel like I was having like a Michael Jackson
00:07:31Yeah
00:07:31You as well
00:07:32Would not look any cooler right now
00:07:34Well done
00:07:36Even on the highest stage in Australia
00:07:39Both really showed up then
00:07:41Like, actually smashed it
00:07:43Which I don't think many people would
00:07:46This is a very tough decision
00:07:47Sometimes it's not
00:07:48And this is gonna be tough
00:07:50The thing is
00:07:52With yours, Jamie, right
00:07:53You've got
00:07:54All this charisma
00:07:55And so much talent
00:07:57And you really went for it
00:07:58And Lydia
00:08:00You're the same
00:08:01You just sort of jumped right into it
00:08:03No hesitation
00:08:03Heaps of confidence
00:08:05But there was one
00:08:07That I feel had
00:08:10I guess a stronger vocal
00:08:12And the person who I feel
00:08:17Showcased a stronger vocal performance
00:08:19In their audition
00:08:22And the person that I'm gonna
00:08:24Take back to Idol HQ
00:08:27For a chance for the golden ticket
00:08:38It's gonna be Lydia
00:08:41Well done
00:08:42I wanna hug you
00:08:44It's okay, it's okay
00:08:52I feel like I'm gonna cry
00:08:56I wasn't expecting that
00:08:58To happen
00:08:59I can't believe it
00:09:00I can't
00:09:02I
00:09:03I
00:09:05I know it's wild
00:09:07God damn
00:09:08Lydia, I will see you at Idol HQ
00:09:11Well done
00:09:12Thank you
00:09:13And how do I get off this thing?
00:09:15Get me out of here

00:09:21Wicked loves it
00:09:24You are an absolute superstar
00:09:26Your voice is a stunner
00:09:28I've never seen anything like that in my life
00:09:3121 exceptional performers have wowed the judges
00:09:35And earned a golden ticket
00:09:37So with only 9 spots in the top 30 remaining
00:09:41And the standards so incredibly high
00:09:44Today's Idol hopefuls must deliver
00:09:46Nothing less than a spectacular audition
00:09:59Oh my god
00:10:01Still on a high after her Harbour Bridge audition
00:10:04Lydia becomes the first singer through to the waiting room
00:10:07I was just on top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge singing for Amy and now here I am
00:10:12She will have a nervous wait before the judges decide if she will get one of only 9 remaining golden
00:10:19tickets
00:10:19I would love it to have my name on it
00:10:21I can picture it
00:10:25Oh welcome back
00:10:26So sorry
00:10:27I had the best morning
00:10:30Is that right?
00:10:31I found some talent
00:10:33But I'll tell you about it later
00:10:34It's too much to say right now
00:10:37We've got a lot of people to see
00:10:38Better be good
00:10:39Can we have the next person in please?
00:10:42Next
00:10:42With Amy back safely on solid ground
00:10:46All is set for the first singer of the day
00:10:49Who has travelled from Brisbane for his shot at a golden ticket
00:11:00My name is Harlan, I am 18 years old and I live in Brisbane, Queensland
00:11:04Wait Ollie, you gonna play?
00:11:06No, I'm practicing
00:11:08I am the black sheep of the family
00:11:09I am the only one who does music
00:11:11They're all very involved in
00:11:13AFL, netball, rugby
00:11:14And I sing
00:11:15So I'm a little bit different
00:11:18Ever since I can remember I love singing
00:11:20My family told me that I could sing
00:11:22I would never have auditioned myself
00:11:24My mum actually submitted my video
00:11:27So proud of you, Carmel
00:11:28My mum and I are very close
00:11:30She's also one of my best friends

00:17:02With three yeses
00:17:04Harlan joins Lydia
00:17:06In the waiting room
00:17:07They now face a long wait
00:17:09To learn whether they'll claim
00:17:11One of the only nine golden tickets
00:17:14On offer
00:17:15Go inspect
00:17:16Can I touch it or no
00:17:17That's crazy
00:17:18Like you see it on TV
00:17:19And it's just like
00:17:20It's like right there
00:17:20Yeah
00:17:21I want nothing more
00:17:23In this present moment
00:17:27Coming up
00:17:28Which singer has the judges
00:17:30Under their complete control
00:17:34Don't leave me hanging like this bro
00:17:37Then a young hopeful
00:17:39There could be a time in my life
00:17:40Where I literally cannot sing
00:17:42With a secret reason
00:17:43For wanting a yes
00:17:45Will you make the best
00:17:47Of what you've got
00:17:48And give us
00:17:48And give us your best
00:17:50Alright
00:17:52And later
00:17:53What happens when the judges
00:17:55Even though I enjoyed it
00:17:57I'm going to say no
00:17:58What?
00:17:59Turn on themselves
00:18:02Can I change any of your minds
00:18:04Because I think she's really good
00:18:06Yeah no
00:18:06She's good
00:18:07But is she the whole package
00:18:08Plus
00:18:09Who makes a shock return
00:18:12Wait a minute
00:18:13Why do I know you?
00:18:15Have you already auditioned?
00:18:16What are you doing back here?
00:18:17But will they get a second chance
00:18:20At idle glory?
00:18:22No
00:18:22You fluffed it
00:18:24That made me feel so uneasy
00:18:48I said in the lolly
00:18:51What?
00:18:54What?
00:18:55What?
00:18:55Oh mama
00:18:56Show me

00:19:04No good
00:19:04Show me Masha
00:19:04Show me
00:19:05Now Masha's got a sticky ass
00:19:07That's it
00:19:08Masha's going to be pantsless
00:19:09From there for the afternoon
00:19:10These lollies all over my butt
00:19:13While Masha makes a call
00:19:15To her dry cleaner
00:19:16Our next singers
00:19:17Are hoping to give
00:19:19A spotless performance
00:19:23Our job is to search
00:19:25For the greatest seller
00:19:26This country's got on offer

00:19:47Nothing to do with bottoms
00:19:48I take blood
00:19:50I'm a glorified vampire
00:19:51And their goal is to leave that job
00:19:54And become a full time musician
00:19:57Whoa
00:19:59And don't it feel good
00:20:03Now don't it feel good
00:20:07It kind of
00:20:08The wheels fell off
00:20:09A little bit
00:20:09Towards the end
00:20:10You know the saying
00:20:11Everyone's a winner
00:20:12Yes

00:20:41This for a living
00:20:42To do is a living
00:20:43I'm a primary school teacher
00:20:45From Melbourne
00:20:46So what sort of music
00:20:47Do you listen to
00:20:48I listen a lot of ballad songs
00:20:51Okay
00:20:51I grew up in a family
00:20:53Where we love karaoke
00:20:55You think I don't know that
00:20:56Right
00:20:58We love it so much
00:20:59We even have a karaoke machine
00:21:01At home
00:21:01Oh wow
00:21:02Now
00:21:03I remember a primary school teacher
00:21:05Yeah
00:21:06That would sing to us
00:21:08When we were unruly
00:21:09Do you use that
00:21:10As part of your teaching
00:21:11I actually use it
00:21:13As an ice breaker
00:21:14Fantastic idea
00:21:15Especially in the afternoon
00:21:17Where they get a little bit rowdy
00:21:18Sure
00:21:19Yep
00:21:19So I'm like

00:24:14Next please
00:24:17My name's Michaela
00:24:18I'm 20
00:24:19And I'm from Gisborne
00:24:20Rural Victoria
00:24:27I work in aged care as an entertainer
00:24:30I sing for the residents
00:24:32And I just try and get them up and dancing
00:24:34Get them engaged
00:24:35Get them singing
00:24:37I love my job
00:24:38Just move on
00:24:39I love hearing people's stories
00:24:41And seeing everyone just come to life
00:24:43And how happy they get
00:24:45Though you may be fine
00:24:47From time to time
00:24:48Michaela makes us all feel young again
00:24:50I'm struggling with her
00:24:52Maybe we can get the upper half dancing
00:24:57So good
00:24:58I love it
00:25:01Thank you everyone
00:25:04I hope that the judges take from my performance
00:25:07That old music lives on
00:25:15Oh hey
00:25:17Hello
00:25:17How are you?
00:25:18Hello
00:25:18I'm good how are you?
00:25:20We are well
00:25:20Thank you for coming
00:25:21What is your name
00:25:22And where are you from?
00:25:23I am Michaela
00:25:24And I'm from New Gisborne
00:25:26Victoria
00:25:26Great
00:25:27What are you going to sing?
00:25:28I'm singing Reach Out I'll Be There
00:25:29By The Four Tops
00:25:30Great
00:25:31No one's done that yet
00:25:32I sing it at aged care
00:25:34For work
00:25:35They love it
00:25:36Of course they do
00:25:37Yeah
00:25:37It's a good song
00:25:38Yeah
00:25:38And what brings you here today?
00:25:40Why Australian Idol?
00:25:43Well at the end of last year
00:25:44I found out I lost half of my hearing
00:25:46Oh wow
00:25:47Yeah so it's been pretty tough
00:25:49Hang on was that a slow decline
00:25:51We don't know
00:25:51Or it just happened overnight?
00:25:53We don't know
00:25:53I've had a few opinions say it's just happened
00:25:57So I've had these hearing aids
00:25:59Maybe six months now
00:26:00And I wear them every day
00:26:01They're part of my everyday life
00:26:03When I found out I lost my hearing
00:26:05I just bawled my eyes out
00:26:08I literally was like
00:26:10How am I going to sing?
00:26:11This is what I want to do with my life
00:26:12I'm so passionate about it
00:26:14What am I going to do?
00:26:15So this audition is really important to me
00:26:18Because they told me that I may lose more
00:26:22There could be a time in my life
00:26:24Where I literally cannot sing
00:26:25Because I can't hear myself
00:26:30Does it affect your singing or
00:26:33Yeah for sure
00:26:34So I've kind of gone not being able to hear the bass line
00:26:38So that's just completely gone
00:26:39Yeah and I've been sitting flat for like the past few years
00:26:43And the hearing loss can get worse
00:26:46So that's why I'm now
00:26:47Will you make the best of what you've got
00:26:49And give us your best
00:26:51Alright
00:27:07Now if you feel that you can't go on
00:27:11And all of your hope is gone
00:27:14And your life is still with much confusion
00:27:18And happiness is just an illusion
00:27:22Oh reach out
00:27:25Reach out for me
00:27:27Reach out for me
00:27:34And I'll be there
00:27:36With a love that will shelter you
00:27:41And I'll be there
00:27:45With a love that will see you through
00:27:50And I can tell the way you hang your head
00:28:02And I'll be there
00:28:21To cherish and care for you
00:28:26Thank you
00:28:27Wow
00:28:29Okay
00:28:30So when I hear that song
00:28:32I think of being about 10 or 12 in Boston, Massachusetts
00:28:34Because I grew up with the Four Tops, right?
00:28:37Yeah
00:28:37So I know that song
00:28:38Skipping in the street
00:28:39What do the oldies think when you go and play in the home
00:28:42They love it
00:28:44They get up dancing
00:28:45It triggers memories for some of them
00:28:47Like myself
00:28:48Music is
00:28:49It is a miracle
00:28:50In a lot of people's lives
00:28:52Yeah
00:28:52But now I'm going to give you some pointers
00:28:54You sang it very aggressively
00:28:56And it's not that
00:28:57That's not the song
00:28:59And you went for really big strong notes
00:29:01That's not the song
00:29:02It's a romantic song
00:29:03Yeah
00:29:04I'm listening to you sing
00:29:05And I'm trying to think of what it is you're hearing
00:29:08And I think because of your hearing
00:29:10That's why you sang it like that
00:29:12Yeah
00:29:12Am I correct?
00:29:13Yeah, possibly
00:29:14Yeah
00:29:14It's a no for me
00:29:15But it's a positive
00:29:16Yeah
00:29:16Okay, Michaela
00:29:17Even though I enjoyed it
00:29:19I'm also going to say no
00:29:21Because we're looking for the whole package
00:29:23What?
00:29:24Yeah, that's what I'm looking for
00:29:25Can I change any of your minds?
00:29:28Because I think she's really good
00:29:31She's good
00:29:31But is she the whole package?
00:29:33You entertaining Nana on her last days
00:29:35Might be wonderful
00:29:37But I'm looking for someone that can sell concerts
00:29:40Put songs on the radio
00:29:42Have a career
00:29:43Not really doing the nursing home circuit
00:29:45Even though I think that's beautiful
00:29:46That you do do that
00:29:47I applaud you for that
00:29:49Well, I don't usually do this, right?
00:29:52But there's something really special about you
00:29:56You know, Marsha is right
00:29:57But to me
00:29:59I think you're a bit of a diamond
00:30:01And I would really, really, really, really love
00:30:05To see her go through
00:30:07If I could
00:30:09I don't want to force it
00:30:11If you can't
00:30:11You leave
00:30:13Really?
00:30:13No
00:30:14Dad
00:30:15Dad
00:30:16Mum, Dad, please
00:30:18Um
00:30:20In all honesty
00:30:20I'm on the fence with you, right?
00:30:23I'm going to work on these guys
00:30:24We're going to see who comes through
00:30:26Yeah
00:30:27I know this is confusing for you
00:30:29I'm really sorry
00:30:30This doesn't happen often
00:30:31I'm just doing things my way at the minute
00:30:34I would wait all day
00:30:35Yes, you would
00:30:36I believe you would
00:30:37And I will work
00:30:37I promise
00:30:41Well, I'm changing mine to a yes then
00:30:42You get one yes from me
00:30:44Because of the dedication
00:30:46Hang on
00:30:47Because you were willing to wait all day
00:30:49Yeah
00:30:50Because you may, at some stage, lose your hearing
00:30:55Who am I to not give you the opportunity to get through?
00:30:59The miracle has happened in front of our eyes
00:31:01That I've had my mind changed
00:31:04We did it
00:31:05We did it
00:31:06Thank you
00:31:07Thank you
00:31:07So we're going to see you later on today
00:31:09We got through this part
00:31:11Mm-hmm
00:31:11We got through this part
00:31:12Thank you
00:31:12We did it
00:31:13We did it
00:31:14And thank you
00:31:15See ya
00:31:15Bye
00:31:15Bye
00:31:16Alright, see you later
00:31:17By the way, you're probably not wrong
00:31:19Like, I was a bit on the fence
00:31:20And I was just like
00:31:21Did she set my world on fire?
00:31:23No, but can she sing yes?
00:31:25Yeah, that's all I'm hearing right now
00:31:26That Olivia Dainey kind of like
00:31:28It's like
00:31:28Well, you know what I'm looking for?
00:31:30Popular people
00:31:31Yeah, but if she puts a little pop spin on it
00:31:33She might get there
00:31:34See?
00:31:35Hey
00:31:35Won you over
00:31:36She's coming back
00:31:38Got mum and dad back on my side
00:31:40God, we're going to kill this child
00:31:42Alright
00:31:42Let's strangle her to death in the air break
00:31:44Okay
00:31:45Next, please
00:31:46Coming up
00:31:47Who have you brought with you?
00:31:49My two best friends
00:31:49Dawn and Dakota
00:31:50Oh, double D's
00:31:53She can handle the big rigs
00:31:56I drive trucks and graters
00:31:58But will she stall
00:32:00The moment she hits the mic
00:32:04Oh no, you're going to kill me
00:32:08And later
00:32:09This won't be easy
00:32:10We don't have golden tickets for everyone
00:32:12No
00:32:12With only nine golden tickets remaining
00:32:16The competition has never been tougher
00:32:19This is more nerve-wracking than climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge
00:32:22You can be the most talented person in the room
00:32:23But if someone is working harder than you
00:32:25They will beat you
00:32:41It might seem like a waste of money to you guys
00:32:43But I've just had one of those big home gyms installed
00:32:45You know, where it takes up the entire room
00:32:47With all of the cables
00:32:48You should start with just like one minute a day even
00:32:50One minute being there
00:32:52And I'll put the lolly fridge down in that room
00:32:54So I've got to walk past it
00:32:59Next, please
00:33:02Just here to crash the party
00:33:03I see you guys chucking on the way
00:33:05Having a good time
00:33:06Who have we got?
00:33:07Who's singing today?
00:33:08Me, Rochelle
00:33:09Rochelle?
00:33:09Yeah, Rochelle
00:33:10Scott, nice to meet you
00:33:10Nice to meet you
00:33:11Who have you brought with you?
00:33:12My two best friends
00:33:13Dawn and Dakota
00:33:14Dawn and Dakota
00:33:15Oh, double D's
00:33:20You guys aren't from around here, aren't you?
00:33:22Where are you from?
00:33:24Longreach
00:33:25Longreach
00:33:25I already love you guys
00:33:27I'm Michelle
00:33:28I'm 23
00:33:29And I'm from Longreach, Queensland
00:33:35I work in the mining industry
00:33:38I'm a truck driver
00:33:40It's a big job
00:33:43Up when there's no sun
00:33:44And going home when there's no sun
00:33:48It's definitely not for the weak-hearted
00:33:515-5-5, probably near 4-13
00:33:52Yeah, got you, Rochelle
00:33:53I spend my days driving a truck
00:33:56Or driving a grave
00:33:59I do love it
00:34:01I'm a cold
00:34:02It's great
00:34:03Like we're all mates out there
00:34:04Sing it, Hobbsy
00:34:05Sing it, Timmy
00:34:06Sing it
00:34:07I got into music
00:34:08Because of my nana
00:34:10My nana was very encouraging
00:34:12With my music
00:34:14And she gave me my first guitar
00:34:15When I was a teenager
00:34:16She'd be like,
00:34:18Rochelle, bring it over
00:34:19And we'd sit at the dinner table
00:34:21I'd just sit there, play songs
00:34:23She's like, play this one
00:34:24Then play this one
00:34:25And she'd give me all these songs
00:34:26Like, okay, I'll try
00:34:28I don't really think
00:34:29I would have had a singing voice
00:34:30Like, it's kind of shaped me
00:34:32Into what I do today
00:34:34And what does the song mean to you?
00:34:36It means a lot
00:34:38Yeah, there's a lot that's happened in my life
00:34:40Yeah
00:34:41But I feel like this song
00:34:43Can kind of showcase through the emotions
00:34:46Well, I hope you can sing the hell out of it
00:34:48Thank you
00:34:49Most importantly
00:34:50Yeah
00:34:50Yeah?
00:34:51Yeah
00:34:54Here we go, guys
00:35:01Hi
00:35:02Hi, how are you?
00:35:04Good, how are you?
00:35:05Good, thank you
00:35:06That's good
00:35:06Hello, what's your name?
00:35:08Rochelle
00:35:09Rochelle?
00:35:10Yeah, Rochelle
00:35:11Thanks for coming
00:35:11Where are you from, Rochelle?
00:35:13From Longreach
00:35:14Longreach?
00:35:15Yeah
00:35:16Man, that's in the middle of nowhere
00:35:18Yeah
00:35:18What are you, you born and bred in Longreach?
00:35:21Yeah, growing up there my whole life
00:35:22What do you do for a living in Longreach?
00:35:24So I drive trucks and graters
00:35:27Sick
00:35:28Yeah
00:35:28The big monster things
00:35:29Like 300 tonne
00:35:31Wow
00:35:32That's very big
00:35:33That's very big
00:35:33That's really impressive
00:35:34That's cool
00:35:35So, you're singing in between all this heavy, heavy work
00:35:40Yeah
00:35:40I am
00:35:40What type of artist are you?
00:35:42Country
00:35:42Great
00:35:43Yeah, I love country music
00:35:45That's what I've grown up on
00:35:46And who got you into music in the first place?
00:35:48Where's your inspiration from?
00:35:50So, I really wouldn't have started singing
00:35:51If it wasn't for my nana
00:35:53Who used to take me to all my, like, little country music festivals
00:35:56Oh, bless
00:35:57Oh, good on her
00:36:02Are you okay?
00:36:03Sorry, can I have a minute?
00:36:04Yeah, that's alright
00:36:05Oh, sorry, hon
00:36:06Is nana still with us?
00:36:08No
00:36:08Oh, sorry
00:36:09Mine neither
00:36:11Marshall, bring some tissues out
00:36:14Thank you
00:36:14You're welcome
00:36:16I just had my year anniversary from mine then
00:36:19Not that long ago
00:36:20And it's weird what happens, hey
00:36:22It does, yeah
00:36:23It's just like
00:36:24Man, it's been a year
00:36:25Why around this time does it just
00:36:27It's like they remind you
00:36:28Yeah
00:36:28You know, the worst thing is
00:36:30When you think
00:36:31Oh, I'll ring it
00:36:32Oh
00:36:33That's the worst for me
00:36:34Yeah
00:36:34I still do this
00:36:35This is like seven years later
00:36:37Take your time, okay
00:36:38Thank you
00:36:39Oh, Rochelle
00:36:39I hope I haven't rocked you there
00:36:40I'm sorry
00:36:41No, I'll be fine
00:36:42Just put it together
00:36:43What are you going to sing?
00:36:45I'm going to sing
00:36:45Over the Rainbow
00:36:46Oh, no
00:36:47You're going to kill me
00:36:48Yeah
00:36:48My nana
00:36:49Love Over the Rainbow
00:36:50You know what?
00:36:51That was my mum's favourite song
00:36:53Jesus
00:36:53Do I have to watch?
00:36:55Because I'm going to be a mess
00:36:56This is
00:36:58Okay, Rochelle
00:36:58Good luck
00:37:04I'll just do it
00:37:06Okay
00:37:06Okay
00:37:15Somewhere
00:37:18Over the Rainbow
00:37:24Way up high
00:37:29There's a land that I heard of once
00:37:37In a lullaby
00:37:42Someday I'll wish upon a star
00:37:45And wake up where the clouds are far
00:37:49Behind me
00:37:55Oh, sun
00:37:59We're over the rainbow
00:38:05Bluebirds
00:38:06Fly
00:38:09Birds
00:38:10Fly
00:38:13Over the rainbow
00:38:16Why
00:38:17Oh, why can't
00:38:21I
00:38:30May me all teary
00:38:37How does it feel?
00:38:38How does it feel to do that?
00:38:40Um, a lot of emotions with it
00:38:42When you do sing something
00:38:44And it means something to you
00:38:46There's no way that emotion can take over
00:38:49And so I totally understand
00:38:51Why you sang the way you did
00:38:54But that was really lovely
00:38:56You know, Rochelle
00:38:56So you should feel really good about the audition
00:38:59Thank you
00:38:59I appreciate it very much
00:39:00Yeah
00:39:01That was beautiful
00:39:02You got through that so well
00:39:04Thank you
00:39:05I think you're a really exciting artist, Rochelle
00:39:09Thank you
00:39:12I'm just going to give you a yes
00:39:13Thank you
00:39:14Questions, nothing to say
00:39:17It's just a yes from me
00:39:18I thought it was great
00:39:19Thank you very much
00:39:20And it's a yes from me
00:39:21Congrats
00:39:22Thank you
00:39:23It's a yes from me
00:39:24Look at you there
00:39:25Three yeses
00:39:26We'll see you this afternoon
00:39:28Good luck on getting the golden ticket
00:39:30Thank you
00:39:30I think Nan would be pretty proud
00:39:32Yeah
00:39:33She'd be here today
00:39:34If she could
00:39:35Actually, before you go
00:39:37Come over here
00:39:37I just want to show you this
00:39:39It's just weird that you played that
00:39:40Why?
00:39:42Is that your Nan?
00:39:43Yeah
00:39:43This was my
00:39:44This was my Nan
00:39:46Oh
00:39:47Somewhere over the rainbow
00:39:50Somewhere over the rainbow
00:39:51Was a really big song in my life with her
00:39:55And played at her funeral
00:39:57There's a love
00:39:59The second I hear that song
00:40:01I'm like
00:40:02Yeah
00:40:02Woo
00:40:03And it was so good
00:40:04Yeah
00:40:07I know what you're going through, babes
00:40:09You did so well
00:40:11Thank you
00:40:11We'll see you again soon
00:40:24You hold my heart in your hand
00:40:29Next
00:40:29Let's go
00:40:30Oh
00:40:31Sorry
00:40:32Have you had much performance practice?
00:40:35No
00:40:35Actually, you're my biggest crowd
00:40:37Nervous first timers
00:40:39Hit the idle stage
00:40:40This is the first real time I'm standing in front of anyone
00:40:42But who will fly?
00:40:44You've got a natural talent
00:40:46Untrained
00:40:47I'm going to say yes
00:40:49And who will fall?
00:40:51You shook all the way through it
00:40:53You nearly terrorised yourself
00:40:55But I felt like almost nothing
00:40:57It's not good enough
00:40:58Plus
00:41:01Could an R&B queen
00:41:03This is the sort of artist I'm looking for
00:41:06Be the new frontrunner of the whole competition
00:41:09If I could paint a picture of the perfect idol
00:41:11I'd be painting a picture of Alita
00:41:13And later
00:41:14Why do I know you?
00:41:16Have you already auditioned?
00:41:17I'm Asher and I'm back
00:41:18I auditioned once
00:41:20And they said no
00:41:21But I'm back again
00:41:22Because I really want this
00:41:23But will it be
00:41:25Redemption
00:41:26Good luck my friend
00:41:28Or rejection
00:41:30That made me feel so uneasy
00:41:50It's day six of auditions
00:41:52And with the race for a golden ticket heating up
00:41:56Our remaining idle hopefuls can't afford to put a foot wrong
00:42:00Yeah
00:42:00Nice
00:42:01Oh
00:42:01Sorry
00:42:03Whoops
00:42:03You know what we've seen a lot of this year?
00:42:05People auditioning for us at idle
00:42:07That have never sung in front of anyone before
00:42:10My name is Lauren
00:42:12Gabriella
00:42:12My name's Luke
00:42:13Have you had much performance practice in front of people?
00:42:16No, actually
00:42:17You're my biggest crowd
00:42:18Three
00:42:19Yeah
00:42:20Amazing
00:42:20Coming here today
00:42:22Trying to be in the next Australian idle
00:42:25This is the first real time I've sung in front of anyone
00:42:27Wow, really?
00:42:28Also no performance in front of anyone
00:42:30This is it
00:42:31This is it
00:42:31They've had no experience singing in front of somebody
00:42:35What are you thinking?
00:42:37So have you been like preparing for this for a while?
00:42:41No, it's only probably the last year I've started singing in the shower
00:42:45So you started in the shower
00:42:46I think it's very brave for them to come and audition
00:42:49It's brave, it's bold, but it's a bit premature
00:42:53Sweaty palms
00:42:59Okay
00:43:07I need a hero
00:43:10I'm holding out for a hero until the morning light
00:43:14He's got to be sure and he's got to be soon
00:43:17I've got to be larger than I
00:43:20I need a hero
00:43:23You shook all the way through it
00:43:25You nearly terrorised yourself
00:43:27I can see that microphone
00:43:28I can see that microphone
00:43:29It was on the wobble
00:43:29Yes
00:43:30I think as it was
00:43:31I guess it was
00:43:32We can only judge what we see today
00:43:33And the nerves did just swallow you up
00:43:36Yeah
00:43:36I'm going to have to say no
00:43:49It's a really big difference hearing a track of a singer you really dig
00:43:56And then you come here and there's nobody helping you out
00:44:00And so you're standing there butt naked
00:44:02What she's saying is that it's not good enough
00:44:06But in a lovely way
00:44:09At least audition in front of someone else before you show up to us
00:44:13Anyone
00:44:13Even at the RSPCA in front of all the cats
00:44:17Someone
00:44:18What are you going to sing today?
00:44:19Today I'll be singing Sam Smith, I'm Not the Only One
00:44:21Beautiful
00:44:23Interesting, very interesting
00:44:24Good luck man
00:44:25Thank you very much
00:44:25Appreciate it
00:44:26Here's Luke
00:44:26Good luck buddy
00:44:31Are you ready?
00:44:41You and me
00:44:42We made a vow
00:44:46For better or for worse
00:44:51And I can't believe you let me down
00:44:56But the proof's in the way it hurts
00:45:00You say I'm crazy
00:45:06Cause you don't think I know what you've done
00:45:12But when you call me baby
00:45:19I know I'm not the only one
00:45:27Luke, that shower echo really helps, doesn't it?
00:45:30It does
00:45:30It's like the world's biggest shower here
00:45:32It is
00:45:33But you've got none of that echo chamber that we all sound great in the shower
00:45:38It is, it's crazy
00:45:39Even I think I'm unreal in the shower
00:45:41Yeah, no, that's it
00:45:42Now this could be a good space to look
00:45:44To find out his voice outside the shower
00:45:48Interestingly enough is
00:45:50You didn't take your time to breathe into the notes that you should have
00:45:57And look, this is not easy
00:45:59I am so aware that you walk in here and here we are
00:46:03You know, and we say okay we'll perform
00:46:05And in the quiet of your shower, that would be so easy
00:46:10And look, look, look at him, look at him
00:46:11Standing there, listening
00:46:13Yes
00:46:14Not coming up with a thousand excuses as to why
00:46:16Oh no, if only I
00:46:18Cause we hate hearing that
00:46:20No, of course
00:46:20You've got a natural talent
00:46:23Untrained shower singer from the suburbs
00:46:26Who listens to feedback and instruction from people that have been doing this their whole life
00:46:31Definitely
00:46:32I'm going to say yes
00:46:33Even though you could crash and burn in the next round
00:46:37Listen, I know he's not up to par
00:46:40I mean, like, the thing is also people come in here and they're like
00:46:43Oh yeah, but we'll learn off you
00:46:44This isn't a show that we are coaches
00:46:46We are judges
00:46:47I'm just worried that you're going from your shower here
00:46:50Yeah
00:46:51It's like, what?
00:46:52I can hear it
00:46:53From the shower to the big stage
00:46:55Give it up for Luke, everyone
00:46:57March up
00:46:58I don't know
00:46:59So wait, what are you
00:46:59Have you said
00:47:00I've said yes
00:47:01You said yes
00:47:01Roll the dice
00:47:03Beautiful, thank you
00:47:04Thank you very much
00:47:05Ready to give it a roll
00:47:06Look, you know, I'm not going to
00:47:07You say this is what you want to do and sing
00:47:09The great thing about being around people like this
00:47:11You're going to be around like-minded people
00:47:13Regardless of what happens, you're going to learn it's a yes from me
00:47:16Thank you very much
00:47:16That's all you need, baby
00:47:17Thank you very much
00:47:18You only need two
00:47:19You know, you'll learn
00:47:20Yeah
00:47:20Ames, come on
00:47:21Let's just do it
00:47:22Yes
00:47:22I'll take you
00:47:23Three yeses
00:47:25Why not?
00:47:26From an unexperienced, unproven potential star
00:47:31Luke, looks like you're at least true to the next round
00:47:35Will you get the golden ticket?
00:47:38You might snuff out then
00:47:39But you've done something today that's really put you on the radar
00:47:42I'm very grateful for that
00:47:44Thank you very much
00:47:44You're welcome
00:47:45You're welcome
00:47:45Thanks Luke
00:47:45Well done
00:47:46He was cool
00:47:49I don't know what
00:47:50There's something there I like about this
00:47:52He's genuine
00:47:53I mean, yeah
00:47:54I like it
00:47:55And how hard could it be if you two have done it your whole life?
00:48:00Let's go
00:48:01Here we go
00:48:01I've got three
00:48:02Yeses
00:48:02Oh!
00:48:03He's really good
00:48:04Oh my God
00:48:06Congratulations
00:48:08We'll see you later on
00:48:10Oh, he did it
00:48:12He did it
00:48:14Let's go
00:48:15Good stuff
00:48:16As Luke heads to the waiting room
00:48:19His nerves finally begin to settle
00:48:21Hi
00:48:22Where are you from?
00:48:23Where are you from?
00:48:24From Townsville
00:48:24But for our next singer
00:48:26Confidence has never been in short supply
00:48:29Hey guys
00:48:30How are y'all feeling?
00:48:32Good
00:48:32Excited
00:48:33Excited
00:48:34I'm Lita
00:48:36I'm 22
00:48:36And I'm from Adelaide
00:48:39Ladies and gentlemen
00:48:40Ladies and gentlemen
00:48:41The princess is here
00:48:43I've wanted this opportunity
00:48:45Since I was little
00:48:50I've always dreamed of being an R&B queen
00:49:00So I come from like Indian background
00:49:03Gonna be so exciting
00:49:04I'm excited
00:49:05You're gonna be the next idol
00:49:07Oh my God
00:49:08Hopefully
00:49:09Yeah
00:49:10Oh
00:49:11And you like it
00:49:12Yeah
00:49:12Yes
00:49:14Music industry in my culture
00:49:16Is not considered safe
00:49:18You know
00:49:18Like
00:49:18It's not a steady income
00:49:20So to be able to do this

00:51:23Oh my God
00:51:23In the corners of my mind
00:51:25I just can't seem to find
00:51:27The reason to believe
00:51:28That I can't really breathe
00:51:31Cause you see
00:51:32I have been done for so long
00:51:34Feel like all hope is gone
00:51:36But as I lift my hands
00:51:38I understand
00:51:39That I should praise you
00:51:41Through my circus days
00:51:42Take a shackle on my feet
00:51:44So I can dance
00:51:45She said that she should be out of

00:51:56And I'm gonna praise you
00:51:58I'm gonna praise you
00:52:01Be through the fire
00:52:02You've been late
00:52:04Counting every kind of way
00:52:06God has broken every day
00:52:08So let me know by you now
00:52:11Shackles on my feet
00:52:13So I can dance
00:52:14I just want to praise you
00:52:17I just want to praise you
00:52:17I just want to praise you
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:19Yeah
00:52:20Popeye's chain now
00:52:22I can't live in my hands
00:52:24And I'm gonna praise you
00:52:27I'm gonna
00:52:28I'm gonna praise you
00:52:30Yeah
00:52:33Oh
00:52:34Thank you
00:52:35Thank you Alita
00:52:37Thank you
00:52:38Of course I'm gonna say yes
00:52:40This is the sort of artist
00:52:42I'm looking for
00:52:43Love the look
00:52:45With a capital L-O-V-E
00:52:47You look awesome
00:52:48I like the vibe you bring
00:52:51I think the song choice was great
00:52:53You got everything
00:52:54If I could paint a picture of the perfect idol
00:52:57I'd be painting a picture of Alita
00:52:59Thank you
00:53:00What do you think Marsha?
00:53:01Okay I'll talk to you about your voice
00:53:02Will I?
00:53:04Okay so
00:53:04I know the song
00:53:05I've sung the song
00:53:06And I've recorded that song
00:53:07Okay
00:53:08So
00:53:08And Mary Mary
00:53:10They're the bomb
00:53:10They're gospel singers
00:53:12You've got to find your vowel
00:53:14Because
00:53:14You are singing in your nose
00:53:16And I want to hear you
00:53:17Open those vowels
00:53:19And not stay in that passage
00:53:21In your head
00:53:22Does that make sense?
00:53:23Yeah
00:53:23And so
00:53:23If you're going to sing those songs
00:53:25That's how you should sing that song
00:53:27Okay
00:53:27Otherwise I can't really fault what you did
00:53:30The bottom line is
00:53:31I think you did a good job
00:53:32And you look great
00:53:33And you're a vibe
00:53:34So
00:53:35It's a yes
00:53:36Dale
00:53:38We keep saying people like
00:53:39Go over the top
00:53:40And they try and
00:53:41Cover every corner of the
00:53:42Stage here
00:53:44Where you just kind of
00:53:45Were like
00:53:45I'm comfortable right here
00:53:47I'm going to focus on my
00:53:48Vocals
00:53:49I've got
00:53:49A couple of dance moves
00:53:51That I'm familiar with
00:53:52And I'm going to say yes
00:53:55Thank you so much
00:53:56It meant the world
00:53:57Okay Alita
00:53:58Well done
00:53:58At the end of today
00:54:00We hand out the golden tickets
00:54:01To the best of the best
00:54:03Hopefully you get one
00:54:05Thank you so much
00:54:06Good luck
00:54:06See you
00:54:06Thanks for coming

00:54:29Oh my gosh
00:54:31Yes
00:54:31We love it
00:54:34How do you feel
00:54:35It was surreal
00:54:38It was surreal
00:54:38Yeah
00:54:38I loved it
00:54:39Yeah
00:54:41You sang the hell out of it
00:54:43Thank you
00:54:45Coming up
00:54:50We're all different
00:54:51We're all different
00:54:51I don't know how they're going to pick
00:54:52With only nine golden tickets left
00:54:55How hard are you willing to work for this?
00:54:58The stakes couldn't be higher
00:55:00You're up against the monster voices
00:55:03I'm just hoping
00:55:04I'm just hoping all the hard work that I've put in
00:55:06Is not for nothing
00:55:09And next
00:55:10I'm Asher and I'm back
00:55:12I auditioned once and they said no
00:55:14But I'm back again
00:55:16Because I really want this
00:55:17That first audition
00:55:19I went in there
00:55:19Everything was so real
00:55:21Seeing the judges there
00:55:22I was starstruck
00:55:23Yo, why don't put your hands up, man
00:55:25Reach for the sky
00:55:26Oh, shit
00:55:30I just froze
00:55:32And completely forgot my lyrics
00:55:34Man, we've run into the streets
00:55:35I love that remix version
00:55:37Where the words were just missing
00:55:38I had this chance
00:55:40And I just blew it
00:55:40Unfortunately, it's a no from me
00:55:42I'm not saying never, okay
00:55:44I'm saying right now
00:55:45Just know that it's a crappy day
00:55:48And get up tomorrow
00:55:49And keep going
00:55:52That's all you can do
00:55:53Just keep going
00:55:54Hopefully when they see me again
00:55:56They see how driven and how badly
00:55:58I want this
00:56:00Can't get enough of Australian Idol?
00:56:03Well, how about some very special kids' auditions?
00:56:06You like singing?
00:56:07Yeah, singing it's my life
00:56:09Stacked with young stars
00:56:11When I hear that we're still blowing
00:56:13I hang my head and cry
00:56:17Watch what happens when the cutest kids
00:56:19Sing their hearts out
00:56:23For your Australian Idol judges
00:56:25What?
00:56:26Yes, girl
00:56:27What are you feeling?
00:56:29You're feeling good?
00:56:30Are they happy tears?
00:56:32Available to watch now
00:56:33You did such a great job
00:56:34On 7 Plus and YouTube
00:56:41I used to put gummy bears in my frozen Coke at the cinema
00:56:46Like, or frozen strawberry
00:56:47I couldn't handle them
00:56:49Cross-pollination of textures
00:56:50Oh, really?
00:56:51I can't even have anything on my ice cream
00:56:53You can't have, like, ice cream
00:56:55Like a warmed-up piece of mud cake with ice cream
00:56:59Oh, I could
00:57:00But I'd eat them all separately
00:57:02Separately
00:57:02Yeah
00:57:03You
00:57:03That is
00:57:04Yeah, man
00:57:05That's cool
00:57:06That's weird
00:57:06Like, I
00:57:07In my mind
00:57:08My dinner's, like, on a jail tray
00:57:10All one at a time
00:57:12As the judges ready themselves
00:57:14For the last few singers of the day
00:57:18The waiting room is already full
00:57:20With talented performers
00:57:23All hoping they can grab
00:57:25One of only nine golden tickets remaining
00:57:28There's not many of them, guys
00:57:30Yeah
00:57:30And after refusing to take no for an answer
00:57:34Our next singer is desperate to join them
00:57:37Go
00:57:37It's a comeback
00:57:39Wheel it, I had to run
00:57:40We're back
00:57:41Part two
00:57:42Here we use round two
00:57:44There we go
00:57:44He's back
00:57:45Like I never left
00:57:47You good?
00:57:48I'm good
00:57:48Are you ready?
00:57:50I'm ready
00:57:50Are you sure?
00:57:51Yeah
00:57:51How are the nerves?
00:57:53A little bit
00:57:53A little bit?
00:57:54Well, you're getting a second shot at this
00:57:56Yes
00:57:56Which, you know, it doesn't happen
00:57:58I really hope you can go in there
00:58:00And absolutely smash it
00:58:02Thank you
00:58:02My love for music is way stronger
00:58:04Than my fear of failing again
00:58:07You got this, buddy
00:58:09Good luck in there
00:58:10Thank you
00:58:10Have fun
00:58:11That first audition
00:58:13It was all a blur
00:58:14But the judges
00:58:14They said there was potential
00:58:15And if I want to do music full time
00:58:18Go ahead and give it everything I've got
00:58:19I'm back today to prove to the judges
00:58:22How badly I want this
00:58:23He's had a picture of the judges
00:58:25On the smart TV
00:58:27And practicing in front of that
00:58:29So he
00:58:30Oh, really?
00:58:32Trying to calm his nerves
00:58:33Yeah
00:58:39Hello
00:58:40Hey, how are you guys?
00:58:41Hey, mate, good, how are you?
00:58:42Wait a minute
00:58:42Good
00:58:46Why do I know you?
00:58:47Have you already auditioned?
00:58:49Yeah, I did
00:58:50You did It's Tricky
00:58:51Yeah
00:58:52Oh, yes
00:58:52And you forgot the words
00:58:53And you fluffed it
00:58:54Oh, that's right
00:58:55That's me
00:58:57What are you doing back here?
00:58:58I was just so mad at myself
00:59:00That I couldn't show you
00:59:01Who I was
00:59:02And what I can do
00:59:03You fluffed it
00:59:04Yeah, pretty much
00:59:05Where are you from?
00:59:06Where are you from?
00:59:06I'm from Brisbane
00:59:08Brisbane
00:59:08Did you fly back here?
00:59:11Or did you just
00:59:11I flew back
00:59:12You flew back here
00:59:13Bro, that's impressive
00:59:14Thank you
00:59:15I like that
00:59:16What's going to be different this time?
00:59:18Is it a different song?
00:59:19I changed the song
00:59:19I'm doing Hip Hop Hooray by Naughty by Nature
00:59:22Oh
00:59:22I love that song
00:59:23Do you remember the words to this song?
00:59:26We'll find out soon
00:59:27Yes, we will
00:59:28I do, yeah
00:59:29Man, I really hope this works out for you
00:59:31Because to fly home and fly back
00:59:33I mean, I love the passion and determination
00:59:35But obviously we just have to do our job
00:59:39At least I know I put my best foot forward
00:59:41Well, mate
00:59:41Your place in this competition rests on the performance
00:59:45You're about to give
00:59:46Let's see what you got
00:59:47Good luck, my friend

00:59:54But you never look my way
00:59:57All right, let's go
00:59:57Hooray, afraid of what I made

01:00:22Hey, I'm licking down your darling
01:00:23In every single way
01:00:24Hey, your funny flow is fun
01:00:25And the green card's on the way
01:00:26This ain't got to do with shampoo
01:00:28But watch your head and shoulder
01:00:29Brother, older, bold enough to fold you
01:00:31Yo, I told you
01:00:31I rate, afraid of what I made
01:00:33And played it, plus a funky fist
01:00:34So save your lips and tricks
01:00:35For the music, hip hop
01:00:37Hooray, ho

01:00:44Ho, hey, ho
01:00:46You heard a lot about a brother
01:00:47Gaining mo ground
01:00:48Being low down
01:00:49I do the showdown
01:00:50With any little bro round
01:00:51Yo, I wanna know who you believe in
01:00:53Me on funny reasons
01:00:54Even when I'm sleeping
01:00:55You think I'm cheating
01:00:56You said you know me
01:00:57Mr. OPP man
01:00:58Yo, PP man
01:00:59You couldn't see me, man
01:01:01You should've known
01:01:02When I ain't hit it
01:01:02And slipped
01:01:03That I was with it a bit
01:01:04Not to consider the rest
01:01:06Oh, he's got bars
01:01:08God, I wish I could rap
01:01:09Hip Hop Hooray
01:01:11Yo, hey, ho

01:01:21It's done
01:01:23Oh

01:01:31Do you know what wasn't awesome?
01:01:33Is watching you
01:01:35Mentally prepare in front of us
01:01:36I threw a picture on my morning
01:01:38But you couldn't make my day
01:01:39Hey, I'm rocking
01:01:40And you're yawning
01:01:40But you never look my way
01:01:43That made me feel so uneasy
01:01:47This is a performance, Asher
01:01:49This is
01:01:50I don't wanna see that
01:01:51I don't wanna feel nervous for you
01:01:54And the second you did that
01:01:55I was like
01:01:55Oh, no, no, no, no, no
01:01:56He's gonna psych himself out again
01:01:58You know what worries me?
01:02:00Are you one of these guys that
01:02:03We see you once
01:02:04You're great
01:02:04The next time
01:02:05Not good
01:02:06Then you're good
01:02:06Then you're not good
01:02:07Like, because
01:02:08You strutting around
01:02:09Doing your thing
01:02:10You're on time
01:02:11You knew all the words
01:02:12Very believable sounding artist
01:02:15This time around
01:02:16But we need it to be success
01:02:18Every single time
01:02:20How old are you again?
01:02:2216
01:02:2216
01:02:2216
01:02:2316
01:02:23You know what?
01:02:24I started my career from Brisbane about your age
01:02:30A year younger
01:02:30And I didn't take no for an answer either

01:02:34Just kept powering, powering
01:02:35What have you got to lose?

01:04:46Listen
01:04:47Yeah
01:04:47You gave it
01:04:48You got to know
01:04:50We ain't going back on the plane again
01:04:51You must have been relentless
01:04:52Especially at 16
01:04:54To be like

01:04:56I know I can do better
01:04:57Yeah, good on you

01:05:04Standards have soared
01:05:06And seven extraordinary singers have emerged
01:05:10Good luck, you guys
01:05:12Thank you
01:05:13But who
01:05:14Bring him in
01:05:15Will make it through
01:05:17This is not easy, you know
01:05:19You all made us feel something
01:05:21And earn their place in the top 30
01:05:24When it comes to vocal power
01:05:27One of you guys really stood out
01:05:30The singer that is going to receive the golden ticket
01:05:35Is going to be
01:05:42The penultimate day of auditions has come to a close
01:05:46And all eyes are on the golden ticket
01:05:50This is crazy
01:05:51It's really like setting in now
01:05:52Yeah
01:05:53It's going to be one of ours
01:05:56I don't want to go up against anyone
01:05:58No
01:05:58They're all starting to realise
01:06:01Just how strong the competition is
01:06:03Well they're all great
01:06:04But they're all so different
01:06:05And not all of them
01:06:07Will get a golden ticket
01:06:08With 21 singers
01:06:10Securing golden tickets
01:06:11In the top 30
01:06:13Only 9 tickets remain
01:06:15Leaving the judges
01:06:16To make some tough calls
01:06:28This won't be easy
01:06:29And we don't have golden tickets for everyone
01:06:31No
01:06:32Oh, I remember this girl
01:06:33She looks like a star
01:06:35We're all different
01:06:36I don't know how they're going to appear
01:06:37Now these guys too
01:06:39They could be a surprise package
01:06:41These two
01:06:42They could be
01:06:43Great sound
01:06:44Which was refreshing
01:06:45Top of the Harbour Bridge
01:06:47I auditioned Lydia
01:06:51Oh, that's nice
01:06:54And she's got BMX Bandit
01:06:56Early Nicole Kidman vibes
01:06:58Yes
01:06:58Yeah, she does
01:06:59Okay, bring them all in
01:07:02First up to face the judges
01:07:04Is Amy's Harbour Bridge
01:07:06Wildcard Lydia
01:07:07And shower singer Luke
01:07:09I feel a little bit out of my comfort zone
01:07:12Coming up against people
01:07:14That have been doing it all their lives
01:07:15Is a bit daunting
01:07:15This is my first time
01:07:16In singing in front of anyone
01:07:17But I've come this far
01:07:18I hope the judges can see enough
01:07:20In me
01:07:21To get me that golden ticket
01:07:23I feel very nervous
01:07:24That I haven't met
01:07:26Marsha and Kyle yet
01:07:27Good luck, you guys
01:07:29It feels
01:07:30Like I'm doing
01:07:31A second audition
01:07:34This is more nerve-wracking
01:07:35Than climbing the Sydney Harbour Bridge
01:07:41Hello, hello
01:07:42Hi
01:07:42Hello again
01:07:43Okay, everyone
01:07:44So let me introduce you to Lydia
01:07:47Who you haven't met
01:07:48This is the guy
01:07:50Auditioned on top of the Harbour Bridge
01:07:52I just showed the guys your video
01:07:54They were very impressed
01:07:54Yeah
01:07:55It looked incredible up there actually
01:07:57Beautiful
01:07:57Yep
01:07:57Don't add yourself everywhere
01:07:59Just love yourself
01:08:01And you said
01:08:01I'm on the right track
01:08:03Baby, I was born this way
01:08:06And Luke
01:08:07How can we forget you?
01:08:08Our shower singer
01:08:09That's me
01:08:10That's it
01:08:11But when you call me baby
01:08:17I know I'm not the only one
01:08:22It's a tough part of the competition
01:08:25Because we have believed in both of you
01:08:28To get this far
01:08:28But one of you brought more excitement
01:08:33To your audition
01:08:38The singer that is going to receive
01:08:41The golden ticket
01:08:46Is going to be
01:08:51Lydia
01:08:55Luke, thank you so much
01:08:56Keep singing in that shower
01:08:57Okay
01:08:58We'll hopefully see you again next week
01:08:59Thank you
01:09:01What?
01:09:02That's my golden ticket Lydia
01:09:04Well done
01:09:05That was so, so great
01:09:07Fantastic effort
01:09:09You look great on the video
01:09:10Amy never disappoints us
01:09:12Congratulations
01:09:12Welcome to the Idol family
01:09:14Well done babe
01:09:15Thank you so much
01:09:16Congratulations
01:09:16That's a great find Ames
01:09:19Yeah
01:09:19Nice work
01:09:20Yeah
01:09:34I started not knowing I was even auditioning on the Harbour Bridge
01:09:38And now I'm in the top 30
01:09:41Wow
01:09:43I just can't believe it's happened
01:09:45Bye guys
01:09:46Congratulations
01:09:46Well done

01:09:52She'll be fun
01:09:53Next please
01:09:55Next up to face the judges
01:09:57Are three performers
01:09:59With extraordinary voices
01:10:02It's ballad singer Harlan
01:10:04The winner takes it off
01:10:17I really do believe that talent can only get you so far
01:10:19You can be the most talented person in a room
01:10:21But if someone is working harder than you
01:10:23They will beat you
01:10:24And so I want to be that person
01:10:27Country trucker Rochelle
01:10:38I'm definitely fish out of water here
01:10:40Very far apart with my country style and genre
01:10:43And hopefully I've been impressive enough to be able to make it through to the next round
01:10:47And hearing impaired singer Michaela
01:10:50And I'll be there
01:10:54With the love that will shelter you
01:11:00I am feeling very very nervous about battling for this golden ticket
01:11:06Good luck
01:11:08But I'm now in a spot where I've got all the hearing stuff going on
01:11:11So like now is kind of the time for me to step forward

01:11:50You all made us feel something

01:11:54Storytelling music is about
01:11:58When it comes to
01:11:59Vocal power
01:12:02One of you guys really stood out
01:12:08And that person is
01:12:15Harlan
