00:14:05and also going busking on the Corsair.
00:14:15I busk about once a week
00:14:17or maybe once a fortnight,
00:14:19depending on the weather.
00:14:21I love busking,
00:14:22especially just seeing the people walking by
00:14:24that just stop and then they just watch you.
00:14:27Sometimes they smile, sometimes they dance,
00:14:28sometimes they sing along
00:14:29and I think that's really the best part.
00:14:31Thank you so much.

00:17:50You are so committed to your craft.
00:17:53Thank you so much.
00:17:54At this age, what the hell?
00:17:57What do you think, Jess?
00:18:01I was just so, like, I was so giddy.
00:18:04As soon as you, like, open your mouth and you sung and there were just, like, these beautiful, like, little
00:18:09round trills that you were doing.
00:18:12You're just, like, so incredibly young to be this talent.
00:18:17But so were you.
00:18:19Jess was 16 when she first auditioned.
00:18:21Oh, okay.
00:18:22She was only 16.
00:18:23Well, this is what I want to talk to you ladies about.
00:18:25Every now and then, Marsha, you get someone who you're like, okay, Jess, we're going to say yes to, but
00:18:34she's really young.
00:18:35Yes.
00:18:37Is he too young?
00:18:43A no.
00:18:45You know, people say, oh, people are too young to do this.
00:18:48People, this is your calling, my brother.
00:18:52I came here at 16 without my mother.
00:18:54I came from Boston to here because I knew what it was I wanted to do.
00:19:00And my parents trusted me as I'm sure your parents trust you.
00:19:04Yes.
00:19:05That's for sure.
00:19:06So, without further ado, it's a yes from me.
00:19:10Thank you so much.
00:19:11Your passion and your desire has gone all into this audition, this moment that you have been waiting for.
00:19:19So, it's a big yes from me.
00:19:22Oh, thank you so much.
00:19:24It's a yes from me too, dude.
00:19:25Thank you so much.
00:19:26Thank you all.
00:19:27That's so good.
00:19:28So, we're going to see you later on today.
00:19:29And you never know.
00:19:30Yeah.
00:19:30Later on in the day, you might get one of these golden tickets.
00:19:33Hopefully.
00:19:34You never know.
00:19:35Hopefully.
00:19:35Do you have family here?
00:19:37Can I possibly meet your family with you?
00:19:40They'll be delighted.
00:19:40Are you kidding me?
00:19:41Oh, my gosh.
00:19:42Let's.
00:19:43Give me footsteps.
00:19:45We got footsteps.
00:19:46Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:19:49Oh, yeah.
00:19:55Oh, yeah.
00:19:57Hi.
00:19:58Honestly.
00:19:58Who is this guy?
00:20:00How are you?
00:20:01Who is this guy?
00:20:03Three yeses.
00:20:04I'm so excited.
00:20:05I'm so relieved.
00:20:07But I was so nervous just while speaking.
00:20:10I was so nervous.
00:20:11And then when I played, oh, it just all went away.
00:20:15And I managed to play well.
00:20:16Jess, you're our lucky little star here.
00:20:18You're good.
00:20:18It's so nice to know you here.
00:20:20Honestly, thank you for having me here.
00:20:22It's good having a chick up here.
00:20:24Oh, yeah.
00:20:25It's very nice.
00:20:26Oh, nice.
00:20:28Coming up, Jess gets put to the test by the full range of talent on offer.
00:20:35Yes.
00:20:36I'm ready for this.
00:20:37I hope you like it.
00:20:39Okay.
00:20:40A cheeky cowboy gets the judges' hearts racing.
00:20:44Band of me.
00:20:45Band of me.
00:20:46Yee-haw.
00:20:47And Marsha puts Jess on the spot.
00:20:52Come on, Jess.
00:20:53You gotta say yes.
00:20:54Come on.
00:20:55Just say yes, Jess.
00:20:56I can hear the potential in your voice.
00:20:59But...
00:21:15Coming from a small town like Darwin, I never in my wildest dreams thought that I could do this.
00:21:23But my audition changed my life forever.
00:21:27Oh, me.
00:21:28Oh, my.
00:21:29Would you look at my...
00:21:30I really believe that it doesn't matter where you come from.
00:21:33If you have talent, Idol will unearth that.
00:21:36And if you don't try, you will never know.
00:21:46Australian Idol, baby.
00:21:47Here we go.
00:21:49It is an immaculate day here.
00:21:51Look at all these people lining up.
00:21:53We're gonna have a mad day.
00:21:55And we're gonna rock some judges, aren't we?
00:21:56It's gonna be absolutely...
00:21:57Oh, not you.
00:21:57I am.
00:21:58I'll support you.
00:21:59We're gonna have an amazing time.
00:22:01I'm Vince.
00:22:02I'm 25.
00:22:03And I'm from Hawkesbury.
00:22:04Have you ever been calling a larrity before?
00:22:06Yeah.
00:22:07A lot.
00:22:10Oh, very down to earth.
00:22:13We're then also a bit crazy sometimes.
00:22:17Can't believe this guy's going on Australian Idol.
00:22:20Like, crazy, isn't it?
00:22:22Cheers.
00:22:24It's all happening.
00:22:25You gonna win?
00:22:26Oh, hopefully.
00:22:28Bloody hope.
00:22:29I can win Australian Idol.
00:22:31I've always dreamed of being a country artist.
00:22:35If I could, I'd never get off stage.
00:22:38I'm moving constantly up there.
00:22:40If I don't have a microphone that's connected to a cord,
00:22:42and it's cordless, I'm everywhere.
00:22:46Australian Idol would be the next step for me.
00:22:48I really want to make this a full-time gig,
00:22:51and I think it'd just be amazing.
00:22:54Here I'll have some little help.
00:22:58Hi.
00:22:59Oh, hello.
00:23:00Yee-haw.
00:23:01Hello there.
00:23:01Howdy, howdy.
00:23:03How are you?
00:23:04Good.
00:23:04How are you?
00:23:05I'm very well.
00:23:06Very well.
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:07What's your name?
00:23:08Where are you from?
00:23:09Tell me everything.
00:23:09My name's Vince Phillips.
00:23:11I'm 25 years old, and I'm from the Hawkesbury, New South Wales.
00:23:14Oh, I'm excited.
00:23:15We are ready.
00:23:16Are you ready?
00:23:17But a country didn't hurt.
00:23:19A hundred percent.
00:23:20Is it a country?
00:23:20It's a country?
00:23:21A hundred percent.
00:23:21What are you, sorry, what?
00:23:23Remind me.
00:23:24What are you singing?
00:23:26I'm singing Billie Rae Cyrus, Achy Breaky Heart.
00:23:29Oh, you better sing.
00:23:30Yeah.
00:23:31Look, honestly, I'm a country girl at heart.
00:23:34Good.
00:23:34I grew up singing country music.
00:23:37I have evidence because my mother, my mother sent me a photo the other day, and it is hilarious.
00:23:43Here it is.
00:23:44Look at me.
00:23:45Look at me with my country attire on.
00:23:48That's great.
00:23:48With my dad.
00:23:49Oh, my God.
00:23:50And I'm about to go and sing country music.
00:23:52That's great.
00:23:53We love to hear it.
00:23:54I'm with you.
00:23:54You have my support.
00:23:56I'm ready for this.
00:23:57All right.
00:23:58Let's Achy Break the Heart.
00:24:00We will.
00:24:01Achy Break my Heart.
00:24:02Oh.
00:24:02I'm kidding.
00:24:03Oh, okay.
00:24:03I'm sorry.
00:24:05Stop it.
00:24:05I usually have to do this for Marsha.
00:24:07Stop it.
00:24:07Stop it.
00:24:08Fan me.
00:24:09Fan me.
00:24:10Stop it, Marsha.
00:24:11Okay.
00:24:12All right, Vince.
00:24:13Let's do this.
00:24:19You can tell the world you never was my girl.
00:24:23You can burn my clothes up when I'm gone.
00:24:27Oh, you can tell your friends what a fool I've been.
00:24:31And laugh and joke about me on the phone.
00:24:34You can tell my arms go back to the phone.
00:24:39You can tell my feet to hit the floor.
00:24:42You can tell my lips.
00:24:44You can tell my fingertips.
00:24:46It won't be reaching out for you no more.
00:24:50But don't tell my heart.
00:24:52My achy breaking heart.
00:24:53Oh, the hippie pimps.
00:24:55They don't think they don't understand.
00:24:58And if you tell my heart.
00:25:00My achy breaking heart.
00:25:02And I blow up and kill this man.
00:25:05Woo.
00:25:06You can tell your mom.
00:25:07I moved to Arkansas.
00:25:09You can tell your dog about my life.
00:25:12Blare.
00:25:13I'll tell your brother fail.
00:25:15Cause this can tear my hair.
00:25:17You never really liked me anyway.
00:25:20Come on, together now.
00:25:21Don't tell my heart.
00:25:23My achy breaking heart.
00:25:25I just don't think they don't understand.
00:25:28And if you tell my heart.
00:25:31My achy breaking heart.
00:25:33If I blow up and kill this man.
00:25:37Woo.
00:25:38Woo.
00:25:40Woo.
00:25:41Woo.
00:25:41Woo.
00:25:41Woo.
00:25:42Woo.
00:25:43Yes.
00:25:44Yee-haw.
00:25:45Yee-haw.
00:25:48Okay.
00:25:48I love those moves that you got there.
00:25:51A little side to side step.
00:25:53That song just made me want to get up and line dance.
00:25:56Yeah.
00:25:56You line dance?
00:25:57I line dance.
00:25:58Can you line dance?
00:25:58I love line dance.
00:25:59Show me.
00:25:59Prove it.
00:26:00I need to know it now.
00:26:01Do you want to see some line dance?
00:26:02Are you sure?
00:26:03100%.
00:26:03I want to see some line dancing.
00:26:05Come on.
00:26:06Play the track.
00:26:07Oh, here we go.
00:26:08Come on.
00:26:08Oh, dance.
00:26:09You ready?
00:26:11You ready?
00:26:13It's a male boy takeover here.
00:26:15Oh, are we going back?
00:26:18Oh, my God.
00:26:19She does.
00:26:20She's doing it in heels, guys.
00:26:23Woo.
00:26:24Jess, do horn dance, everyone.
00:26:26Oh, this is amazing.
00:26:28Yes.
00:26:30No, no.
00:26:31I think I'll do it.
00:26:32Oh, I don't want this.
00:26:33Stop.
00:26:34Stop.
00:26:35Oh, thank you.
00:26:36Yes, Jen.
00:26:37Yes, Jen.
00:26:38Stop.
00:26:40So, judging time.
00:26:42Judging time.
00:26:43Serious time.
00:26:44The vocals, Vince.
00:26:46Mm-hmm.
00:26:47They're not strong.
00:26:49Mm-hmm.
00:26:50But this show isn't just about the voice.
00:26:54This is about the entire package.
00:26:56And you have a style.
00:26:58You've got a cracking personality.
00:27:02You have an energy that has got star-like qualities.
00:27:07And that's what we're trying to find, is someone who people will connect with.
00:27:11Yeah.
00:27:11I think more importantly, like, you raised energy.
00:27:14All three of us had a big smile.
00:27:16Yeah.
00:27:17On our face.
00:27:18Oh, it means a lot.
00:27:19Marsha, you're very quiet.
00:27:21I am, because I don't want you to get lost in the shuffle.
00:27:23Mm-hmm.
00:27:24And for me, you know, I want to hear a voice.
00:27:27Your voice was okay, Vince.
00:27:28It wasn't bad.
00:27:30But really, for me, it wasn't strong enough.
00:27:32You know what I mean?
00:27:33Yeah, but he brings something else.
00:27:36It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:27:39And I'll leave it to you, girl.
00:27:40No, no, no.
00:27:41It's all yours.
00:27:42No, no, no.
00:27:43Don't leave us, Marsha.
00:27:44Don't leave us.
00:27:44Don't leave us.
00:27:45You're on your own.
00:27:46I think it was, like, a fun song choice.
00:27:49But it probably wasn't the best song to play to us,
00:27:56because it didn't showcase...
00:27:58Your voice.
00:27:59Correct.
00:28:01But I think you had the potential to, you know, work and fight.
00:28:06I do.
00:28:07You know?
00:28:08So it's a yes for me.
00:28:10And if you don't work and fight, you'll just get booted off.
00:28:13That's it.
00:28:13That's right.
00:28:14It's a yes for me.
00:28:15Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:16So, well done.
00:28:17And we'll see you later on today,
00:28:18and maybe you'll take home a golden ticket.
00:28:20Maybe.
00:28:21Nice work, Vince.
00:28:21Thank you so much, guys.
00:28:22We'll see you later on.
00:28:23See you later.
00:28:24Bye.
00:28:25Yee-haw.
00:28:25Yee-haw.
00:28:26Thanks for the day.
00:28:27Come on, cowboy, who dug his...
00:28:30Well done.
00:28:31He doesn't look like he's got an achy, breaky heart.
00:28:36How you going, guys?
00:28:38It means so much to me to get a golden ticket,
00:28:41like, just that next step.
00:28:42Nice to meet you, mate.
00:28:43One step closer.
00:28:44It's being out there and getting me out there
00:28:46and doing what I love.
00:28:47How are you?
00:28:48How are you feeling?
00:28:49Oh, good.
00:28:50Very good.
00:28:50That was incredible.
00:28:52Oh.
00:28:53Bit of fun, ladies, eh?
00:28:54Bit of fun.
00:28:55Bit of fun.
00:28:56Bit of fun.
00:28:56It'll be a drag.
00:28:57Bit of fun.
00:28:58Never hurt anyone.
00:29:01Coming up,
00:29:03he's a pest controller by day
00:29:05and a crooner by night.
00:29:07I'll do the old retirement home here and there.
00:29:09Oh, they'd love you.
00:29:10A few undies here and there.
00:29:11Oh, yes.
00:29:14Yeah, they're not panties.
00:29:16They're a feet.
00:29:17Yes.

00:32:17I need a man that thinks is right and it's so wrong tonight, yeah, baby, tonight, yeah, baby.
00:32:25Right on the limits where we know we both belong tonight.
00:32:31It's hard to feel the rush, to push the dangerous, I'm gonna run right to turn the edge with you,
00:32:43where we can both fall for real life.
00:32:46I'm on the edge, for glory, and I'm hanging on a moment of truth.
00:32:53I'm on the edge, for glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:33:00I'm on the edge, for glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:33:17I'm on the edge, for glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:33:20I'm on the edge, for glory, and I'm hanging on a moment with you.
00:33:22Yes.
00:33:24Well, look at you.
00:33:25Wow.
00:33:26Yeah.
00:33:26How does that feel?
00:33:28Good.
00:33:28She's got a voice.
00:33:30Yeah.
00:33:31And it's arrived.
00:33:36Oh, God.
00:33:37Where do I begin?
00:33:40I'm exhausted by that.
00:33:42She's full on.
00:33:44She's full on.
00:33:45Did she choreograph that herself?
00:33:47Pardon? I did, yes.
00:33:49Yes, honey, you did.
00:33:52Do you do much theatre?
00:33:54Have you done any performances in theatre?
00:33:56Yes, like a little bit.
00:33:57I've got a sense of that, that that's your kind of domain
00:34:00and that's where you're coming from.
00:34:02I think it's just because you're so theatrical.
00:34:05It would almost be a shame
00:34:07if you didn't do it.
00:34:08But, unfortunately,
00:34:10it's going to be a no from me.
00:34:13Okay.
00:34:14It's a no from me, but thank you.
00:34:17Sadly,
00:34:18Olivia, it's a no from me.
00:34:20Thank you, Livy.
00:34:21Thank you for your time.
00:34:25Bye. Thank you so much.
00:34:32So much to unpack there.
00:34:34But we don't have time. Next!
00:34:38To be the next Australian Idol,
00:34:41you need the perfect blend of vocals and vibe.
00:34:45Yes, determination walk.
00:34:47I love it.
00:34:48That was a strut. How we doing?
00:34:50Good, how are you? Amazing. This is the best day of my life.
00:34:53You look like you've got the vibe.
00:34:55If you don't want to see me dancing with somebody.
00:35:03If you want to believe that anything can stop me.
00:35:08You got a cool vibe. Thank you.
00:35:10It's not like it was bad, but it's not gonna reach the level of talent
00:35:14that we're looking for this year, I'm afraid.
00:35:17For me, it's a no but I thank you.
00:35:19Whoa, whoa,
00:35:20he's a working class man.
00:35:22Wow! Jesus!
00:35:24He ain't worried about tomorrow,
00:35:28cause he just made up his mind.
00:35:32Life's too short for burning bridges.
00:35:36Take one day at a time.
00:35:40Whoa, whoa,
00:35:42He's a working class man.
00:35:45He's a man.
00:35:50Yes! Luke,
00:35:52you are born for musical theatre.
00:35:56Thank you so much.
00:35:56Yeah. Unfortunately, it's gonna be a no from me
00:35:59just because we sort of need,
00:36:01we just need a different sort of vibe, you know?
00:36:04Nice to see you. Thank you.
00:36:05My name's James.
00:36:06Hi, James.
00:36:07I'm 32 and I'm here to do some Sinatra today.
00:36:09Oh, I love Sinatra.
00:36:11What do you do otherwise?
00:36:12I'm a pest control by day, jazz singer by night.
00:36:15Okay.
00:36:16You must have got rid of Kyle.
00:36:22I'm a termite guy, spider guy, cockroach guy, bed bug guy, everything else guy.
00:36:29I like pest control, but it's not my passion.
00:36:32Music is what I'm all about.
00:36:35I always wanted to be like a rock singer growing up.
00:36:38But my grandma said to me, she's like,
00:36:40James, I think you'd be a really good boobly.
00:36:44Do you do gigs?
00:36:45I do the old retirement home here and there.
00:36:47Okay.
00:36:47So I've got a little jazz band back home.
00:36:50Oh, they love you.
00:36:50Yeah.
00:36:50A few undies here and there.
00:36:52Oh!
00:36:53Yes!
00:36:54Nothing to add you on there.
00:36:56Yeah, they're not panties, they're undies.
00:36:59Yes.
00:37:00There's different names.
00:37:03Oh dear.
00:37:03Okay, so you look the part.
00:37:06I feel like you've got, you know your style.
00:37:07Are we ready ladies?
00:37:09Want to get into this?
00:37:11Alright, I'm excited.
00:37:12And when you're ready, please.
00:37:14Okay.
00:37:24I've got you under my skin.
00:37:31I've got you deep in the heart of me.
00:37:37So deep in my heart, you're really a part of me.
00:37:44I've got you under my skin.
00:37:51I'd sacrifice anything come what might for the sake of having you near.
00:37:57In spite of that warning voice that comes in the night and repeats, screams in my ear.
00:38:04Don't you know you fool?
00:38:07You never can win.
00:38:10Use your mentality.
00:38:13Wake up to reality.
00:38:17But each time that I do, just the thought of you makes me stop before I begin.
00:38:24Cause I've got you under my skin.
00:38:31And I love you under my skin.
00:38:43Yeah.
00:38:46You got a really cool voice.
00:38:48You know, it was a lovely surprise.
00:38:50I think given the chance of being around other people who are like-minded like other musicians, you could just
00:38:57do very well.
00:38:57So I'm just going to say it.
00:38:58It's a yes from me.
00:39:00Wonderful.
00:39:01You are more than welcome.
00:39:02What do you think?
00:39:03I liked it.
00:39:05I just could, all I could see was so many nerves.
00:39:09Right.
00:39:11I'm just going to say, it's a no from me.
00:39:15You need two yeses.
00:39:18Ah, James.
00:39:21Can I ask what's going through your mind right now?
00:39:25Not much. I'm just thrilled I got through it.
00:39:27I was really taken by it.
00:39:29Your vocal ability.
00:39:31Wow.
00:39:31It's, it's incredible.
00:39:33I have to say that.
00:39:34Um, I think one thing is, um, yes, do take it seriously, but also have fun.
00:39:40Yes.
00:39:41Relax.
00:39:42Relax.
00:39:42Do you have the vocal ability?
00:39:44Yes.
00:39:44Okay.
00:39:44Relax.
00:39:45Enjoy it.
00:39:46You know.
00:39:47Come on Jess.
00:39:48You gotta say yes.
00:39:49Come on.
00:39:49Just say yes Jess.
00:39:51You have to be prepared for what's coming.
00:39:55And I'm saying this because I'm going to say yes.
00:40:04Congratulations James.
00:40:05Thank you so much.
00:40:06Didn't need me.
00:40:07No.
00:40:07So we'll see you later on today and we'll see if you can get yourself a golden ticket.
00:40:10It's gonna be hard.
00:40:11Okay.
00:40:12Yep.
00:40:12Thank you so much guys.
00:40:13Thank you James.
00:40:14Thank you James.
00:40:16There's a lot for him to learn.
00:40:18There is.
00:40:18There is a lot for him to learn.
00:40:20There's a lot he could learn.
00:40:21Next.
00:40:22Who are you and where are you from?
00:40:24The judges are in for a big surprise.
00:40:28I was not expecting that at all.
00:40:30Then.
00:40:31Kyle finds romance on the road.
00:40:34I've never been sung to in the middle of a beautiful bunch of flowers by another man.
00:40:38And who has shown the brightest to get a golden ticket from the judges.
00:40:42We weren't ready for that to finish.
00:40:44Yeah.
00:40:45I'm like mom.
00:40:47Yeah.
00:40:52I'm like mom.
00:41:01So how's the baby Jess?
00:41:03Oh.
00:41:03You're not a regular mom either.
00:41:05You're a cool mom.
00:41:06I took her to the beach yesterday.
00:41:09I didn't have my phone.
00:41:10She's so professional.
00:41:12No she's funny.
00:41:13She's like clapping her hands now.
00:41:14I'm like.
00:41:15She looks like this.
00:41:16And she does this.
00:41:18Oh she's just you?
00:41:19A mini.
00:41:20Yeah.
00:41:20A mini.
00:41:22She's eating a lamb cutlet now.
00:41:25Oh no.
00:41:25Oh my god.
00:41:26That's my girl right there.
00:41:30Hi my name is Ava.
00:41:32I'm 17 years old from Geelong, Victoria.
00:41:35Dad is young and he can't get out.
00:41:37And I am a performer in the kids band The Micmacs.
00:41:41One, two, three, little bunnies.
00:41:44I love performing.
00:41:45Music is a big part of who I am.
00:41:48Being young and being in the industry has actually been quite amazing for me because I've had such a wonderful
00:41:56support system who has helped me through all of this.
00:41:59But the children's entertainment industry can only take me so far and can only challenge me so far.
00:42:05And I want to expand my horizons.
00:42:08My dream is to pursue music as a solo artist.
00:42:13This just means so much to me and I want to prove I'm a solo artist.
00:42:21Time to shine.
00:42:22Here we go.
00:42:22Deep breath.
00:42:23Good luck.
00:42:23Deep breath.
00:42:24Yes.
00:42:25Can I get him?
00:42:27Have fun.
00:42:28Can you say makes fun of staying?
00:42:30Makes fun of spend the whole night with you.
00:42:31There she goes.
00:42:33Hi there.
00:42:34Hi.
00:42:35Hi.
00:42:35How are you going?
00:42:36Hello.
00:42:37We're doing okay.
00:42:37How are you doing?
00:42:38I'm so nervous.
00:42:40Oh okay.
00:42:41But that's okay.
00:42:42That's understandable.
00:42:43What's your name?
00:42:44My name is Ava McInnes.
00:42:45I'm 17 years old and I'm from Geelong, Victoria.
00:42:48Nice.
00:42:49Nice, nice.
00:42:50And you've been singing for a while?
00:42:52Yeah, I've been singing my whole life.
00:42:54My dad and I, we always sing around the house and my uncle, it's very special.
00:42:59You come from a musical family?
00:43:01Yeah, so we're in a children's band called The Micmacs.
00:43:04It has about 8.7 million subscribers, which is...
00:43:08Whoa!
00:43:09On what?
00:43:10YouTube?
00:43:10On YouTube, yeah.
00:43:11Yeah.
00:43:12Damn.
00:43:12Interesting.
00:43:14And what kind of artist would Ava be then?
00:43:16Probably pop rock genre.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:19Okay.
00:43:20Yeah.
00:43:20What are you going to play?
00:43:21I'm going to play Bubbly by Kobe Collate.
00:43:24Good song.
00:43:25Take a big breath and sing when you're ready.
00:43:34I've been awake for a while now.
00:43:39You got me feeling like a child now.
00:43:44Cause every time I see your bubbly face, it gives me tingles in a silly place.
00:43:52Starts on my toes, makes me crinkle my nose.
00:43:56Wherever it goes, I always know.
00:44:00That you make me smile, please stay for a while now.
00:44:04Just take your time, wherever you go.
00:44:09My rain is pouring on my windowpain, but
00:44:12We were hiding in a safer place.
00:44:17Undercover, staying dry and warm.
00:44:20You give me feelings that I adore.
00:44:23They started my toes, makes me crinkle my nose.
00:44:26Wherever it goes, I always know.
00:44:30That you make me smile, please stay for a while now.
00:44:34Just take your time.
00:44:39Wherever, wherever, wherever you go.
00:44:49Wherever, wherever, wherever, wherever you go.
00:45:01Okay.
00:45:03You've got one of those faces.
00:45:04You look so worried, honey.
00:45:06We're on your side.
00:45:07No.
00:45:07Okay.
00:45:08All right.
00:45:09So breathe, you know.
00:45:10Take a couple breaths.
00:45:12You know, I like the innocence of your voice.
00:45:16It's a very pretty voice.
00:45:18You know, how did that performance make you feel?
00:45:21I know that I have a lot to prove and I know that I can challenge myself more with bigger
00:45:26songs.
00:45:27Okay.
00:45:30I'll tell you what I didn't like first.
00:45:35I sort of felt like I was watching a kid's program for a second there.
00:45:41What I did like is you've got a great voice, especially when you let it rip and you know
00:45:47how to play that thing.
00:45:48You understand dynamics.
00:45:49So there's a lot to like.
00:45:51But I'm also confused.
00:45:53Okay.
00:45:53I understand.
00:45:55I'm just going to hear out the girls.
00:45:57Jess.
00:45:58I can hear the potential in your voice.
00:46:01It's so hard, I guess, when you're trying to break away from something really amazing.
00:46:06And I can see you're on that path and that you're on that road.
00:46:08And my feeling and my instincts are saying, I want to put you through.
00:46:15And I'm going to say yes.
00:46:19What do you think?
00:46:20What's in your gut right now?
00:46:21Well, I feel, I feel, I really liked your performance.
00:46:26I really appreciate that.
00:46:26You know, what I really liked was the sincerity.
00:46:30I knew that what you just did meant a lot to you.
00:46:35So I'm just, for me it's a yes.
00:46:38You don't even need me.
00:46:41We'll see you later on.
00:46:42Thank you very much for your time.
00:46:44Thanks Ava.
00:46:45Congratulations.
00:46:50Hi.
00:46:51Hey.
00:46:52Are you going to tell us what happened?
00:46:54I got the yeses.
00:46:55Yay!
00:47:01Congratulations.
00:47:02Go and celebrate, guys.
00:47:04We'll see you later on.
00:47:10We're nearly there today, ladies.
00:47:12Well, not really.
00:47:14Are we not there?
00:47:15No.
00:47:15Are we there yet?
00:47:17I'm feeling like, yeah.
00:47:18I'm having fun with you today, man.
00:47:20Me too.
00:47:21Seriously.
00:47:22It's so weird.
00:47:23Can we just add another chair on?
00:47:25Next.
00:47:35Whoa.
00:47:37Who are you and where are you from?
00:47:40My name's Tyra.
00:47:41I'm 26.
00:47:42I'm a professional belly dancer.
00:47:45Oh.
00:47:45Wow.
00:47:46Now that's impressive.
00:47:47What are you singing?
00:47:49Can I ask?
00:47:49I'm singing Say It Right by Nelly Furtado.
00:47:52Oh, yes.
00:47:53Oh, I like that song.
00:47:54Yeah, same.
00:47:54I love that song.
00:47:56Okay.
00:47:57Let's hear it.
00:48:14We going to play!
00:48:14Today in the last night make it bright, think of all.
00:48:22You ain't got it, or don't.
00:48:26You ain't lamenting, all you fall.
00:48:30When it will.
00:48:32Is broken.
00:48:34When it slips from your hands.
00:48:38When there's no time for choking
00:48:42There's a flow in the flame
00:48:46No, you don't mean no, nothing at all to me
00:48:55No, you don't mean no, nothing at all to me
00:49:03But you got what it takes to set me free
00:49:09Oh, you put me there with it to me
00:49:24Wow.
00:49:26We weren't ready for that to finish.
00:49:28Well, yeah, I'm like, more?
00:49:31Yeah.
00:49:32Interesting.
00:49:33Well, I didn't expect that.
00:49:36No.
00:49:37Yeah, that was really cool.
00:49:39Clara, that was very cool.
00:49:40Very unique vocals.
00:49:43I was not expecting that at all.
00:49:45There's something really special and unique here.
00:49:48I'm shook.
00:49:51Mm-hmm.
00:49:52You know, I mean, I really like what you brought to the table
00:49:55and it was mysterious and what you just did was very cool.
00:49:58Slightly confusing, but very cool.
00:50:02You seem very quiet.
00:50:04Are you nervous or...?
00:50:06I'm nervous, yeah.
00:50:08Yeah.
00:50:08But it's because this means so much to me.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:12Okay.
00:50:13Interesting.
00:50:16I think you still feel very green to me.
00:50:20Like, you still feel nervous and a bit not sure.
00:50:25Are you the next Australian Idol?
00:50:32I'm just going to say no.
00:50:36You need two yeses to get through.
00:50:40Look, I'm just going to say, for me, it's a yes.
00:50:42Yes, I'm keen to see more, Marsha.
00:50:45It's a yes from me.
00:50:46Yeah, for real.
00:50:47There you go.
00:50:47Belly dance is in.
00:50:49Yeah, you do that, you know, victory dance, girl.
00:50:51Can you show us a belly dance?
00:50:52Yeah.
00:50:53Yeah.
00:50:56Nice work, Tyra.
00:50:57So we'll see you later on today.
00:50:59And we'll see if you can get yourself a golden ticket.
00:51:01It's going to be hard, okay?
00:51:03So excited.
00:51:03We'll see you later on, okay?
00:51:05Give it to me, I'm worth it.
00:51:07Baby, I'm worth it.
00:51:09Hey.
00:51:10Hey.
00:51:11What's up?
00:51:12Give it to me, I'm worth it.
00:51:13Coming up.
00:51:14Ladies and gentlemen, we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:51:18It's um, Kenny, do you think?
00:51:20Does anyone sing?
00:51:22You're too young.
00:51:23And will one of our teenagers, or crooner James, make the top 30?
00:51:30The one golden ticket that we have here is going to go to.
00:51:45While Jess is taking care of the judging back at Idol HQ, Kyle is on assignment in the nation's capital.
00:51:57Canberra is known for its many, many roundabouts.
00:51:59Questacon, the Royal Australian Mint, Floriad, the big flower show.
00:52:05The list goes on.
00:52:06We'll see about three more things on that list.
00:52:12A lot of people don't know this, but I'm a big fan of flowers.
00:52:16The smell.
00:52:17If you could smell what I could smell, you're in heaven here.
00:52:20And there might be some singers.
00:52:22So let's come and find them.
00:52:26Ladies and gentlemen.
00:52:27Ladies and gentlemen.
00:52:28We are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:52:31Ladies, don't lie.
00:52:32I know you've got singing chops.
00:52:35Hang on.
00:52:36I've been immortalised here in a statue.
00:52:40It's uncanny.
00:52:41Do you think?
00:52:42Keep my hands on myself.
00:52:44Oh, no.
00:52:45The countdown.
00:52:47At least we know when it's going to happen.
00:52:50So I'm up here and I'm searching as far as the eye can see.
00:52:56We are filming Australian Idol.
00:52:58Does anyone sing?
00:52:59You're too young.
00:53:01So if you're here smelling flowers and you'd like to be singing on stage,
00:53:05we are auditioning singers for Australian Idol.
00:53:08Let's see what you've got.
00:53:10Hi there.
00:53:11Nice to meet you.
00:53:12I'm Jack.
00:53:12Jack, nice to meet you.
00:53:13You a singer?
00:53:13Yeah, I am.
00:53:14What do you do for a living?
00:53:15I'm a personal trainer for athletes.
00:53:17I work with athletes, yeah.
00:53:18You looked at me and thought,
00:53:19there's someone that'll just keep paying and paying and paying.
00:53:22Let's go down to the middle of the flower circle and give it your best.
00:53:26And if you've got what it takes,
00:53:27I'll bring you back to Idol HQ and you audition in front of all the judges.
00:53:31Awesome.
00:53:32With one Idol hopeful locked in,
00:53:35Kyle needs to find one more singer to audition.
00:53:40Hi there.
00:53:40How are you?
00:53:41Hi, I'm well done.
00:53:42You look fabulous.
00:53:43Look at you head to toe and pinch.
00:53:44How are you?
00:53:45I saw the ice cream truck and I thought,
00:53:48that's exactly what I need.
00:53:50Okay.
00:53:51I hope it stays in.
00:53:52Is that okay?
00:53:53That is fantastic.
00:53:55Mmm.
00:53:57Oh, do you sing?
00:53:58I do, yeah.
00:53:59You do?
00:54:00Yes.
00:54:00You're not just doing cones,
00:54:01but you're singing as well.
00:54:03I am a singer, yes.
00:54:04Come on out of that truck.
00:54:06Everyone else here in line is going to have to wait.
00:54:08I want the girl to sing.
00:54:09Sorry, guys.
00:54:10Our Australian Idol audition starts now.
00:54:15I'm Katie Lee.
00:54:17I'm 28 years old and I'm from Canberra.
00:54:19I work in an ice cream truck because my parents own one
00:54:21and I have to work it.
00:54:24Sorry.
00:54:25It's true.
00:54:26Music is every moment of every day, basically.
00:54:29So if I'm not on TikTok singing,
00:54:31then I'm singing in the shower,
00:54:33I'm driving around with music playing.
00:54:35I sing every day.
00:54:36It's my everything.
00:54:38Like, it is such a big part of my life.
00:54:42Kyle's search has been successful.
00:54:45Now it's up to Jack and Katie Lee to show him
00:54:48they've got what it takes to be invited back to Idol HQ.
00:54:54And here comes Jack, our personal trainer.
00:54:57How are you going?
00:54:58How are you, mate?
00:54:59Thanks for coming.
00:54:59This is Katie Lee.
00:55:00Katie Lee, this is Jack.
00:55:01How are you?
00:55:02Now, what I'm here to do is find someone
00:55:05looking for a great singer with a great vibe,
00:55:07a great personality.
00:55:08So that's the mission.
00:55:10Yep.
00:55:10Who'd like to go first?
00:55:11Katie Lee, ladies first?
00:55:12Okay.
00:55:13What are you going to sing for us?
00:55:14I'm going to sing We Can't Be Friends by Ariana Grande.
00:55:17Oh!
00:55:18You're Australiana Grande.
00:55:21That's what I'd like to think of you as.
00:55:22Okay.
00:55:23Ladies and gentlemen, singing in the tulips is Katie Lee.
00:55:26And here is my, that is the music right there.
00:55:28Oh, you've got a track on there?
00:55:29I've got the track on there for you.
00:55:30Okay.
00:55:31Want me to hit play?
00:55:32Yes, please.
00:55:33Okay, Katie Lee, go for gold.
00:55:39I didn't think you'd understand me.
00:55:46How could you ever even try?
00:55:54Because I don't want to tiptoe, but I don't want to hide.
00:55:59But I don't want to be this monstrous, but I just want to let
00:56:05put the story aside and I'll be all right.
00:56:10We can be friends, but I'd like to just pretend.
00:56:18You cling to your papers and bands, wait until you like me again.
00:56:25I'll wait for your love, my love, the way for your love.
00:56:34Ooh, keep going.
00:56:37That's it.
00:56:37Hey, fantastic job.
00:56:39All right, better give me that phone there.
00:56:40Oh, thank you.
00:56:41It's already starting to ring.
00:56:42Jack, you're next, my friend.
00:56:44What are you going to sing for us?
00:56:46I'm Yours by Jason Mraz.
00:56:47Now, that's no easy task.
00:56:49Good luck.
00:56:51Here's Jack, everyone.
00:56:54Well, you done done me and you bet I felt it.
00:56:58I tried to beat you, but you so hot that I melted.
00:57:02I fell right through the cracks.
00:57:04And now I'm trying to get back.
00:57:08Before the cool done run out, I'll be giving you my best diss
00:57:12and nothing's going to stop me.
00:57:14But divine intervention, I reckon it's again my turn
00:57:18to win some or learn some.
00:57:22But I won't hesitate no more, no more.
00:57:31It cannot wait.
00:57:35I'm yours.
00:57:38Jack, very nice.
00:57:40I've never been sung to in the middle of a beautiful bunch of flowers
00:57:43by another man.
00:57:44There you go.
00:57:45I appreciate it.
00:57:46OK, come up, Katie Lee.
00:57:48Hi.
00:57:49Now, my job, as I said, is tough
00:57:51because you can both sing.
00:57:53You both look fantastic.
00:57:54I want someone I can play on the radio.
00:57:56Both of you have shown me songs today
00:57:58that I can hear me playing and introducing.
00:58:03I can see a spot for both of you on the show,
00:58:05but I can only bring one.
00:58:07That's the unfortunate part.
00:58:14Jack?
00:58:16I'm so sorry, but it's not going to be you today.
00:58:20I appreciate it, man.
00:58:21Thanks very much.
00:58:21Thanks.
00:58:22Nice to meet you.
00:58:22Nice to meet you as well.
00:58:23Good job.
00:58:23You did really well.
00:58:24Good job.
00:58:25You really did well.
00:58:27That leaves you.
00:58:30Who's your...
00:58:31Oh.
00:58:32Who's this random man?
00:58:35Is this your husband?
00:58:37My baby marries me.
00:58:39This is your man?
00:58:40Yes.
00:58:40I'm taking you to Idol headquarters.
00:58:42I'm taking you to Idol, darling.
00:58:45You'll be well looked after.
00:58:46Don't worry.
00:58:47There's a double bed so you can bring your fella.
00:58:49I do feel some pressure meeting the other judges.
00:58:52I idolise them as well.
00:58:53See you at Idol headquarters.
00:58:55Gentlemen, thank you.
00:58:56We'll take good care of her.
00:58:57I really hope that they love my music
00:58:59and I hope that they can see what potential I have.
00:59:07Coming up...
00:59:08Will Samela's or Katie Lee's top 30 dreams come true?
00:59:13The singer receiving the golden ticket is going to be...
00:59:28Week one of auditions saw the judges award nine golden tickets
00:59:33to the hottest fresh talent in the competition's history.
00:59:36Yes!
00:59:38What you get is what you see.
00:59:41There ain't nothing more to it.
00:59:43That was incredible.
00:59:45You're exciting.
00:59:46I don't know what I'm crying for.
00:59:51I don't think I could love you more.
00:59:56Charlie, that was beautiful.
01:00:00You sang that with so much real emotion.
01:00:02I'm blown away by you.
01:00:06And now Jess, Marsha and Amy
01:00:09have the difficult decision to make
01:00:13who will join them in the top 30.
01:00:20It's been a baptism of fire
01:00:23for special guest judge Jess Nalboy.
01:00:26But she's helped to unearth
01:00:28seven potential idols.
01:00:30Guys, I just want to say
01:00:31it has been so amazing
01:00:33being with you both.
01:00:35Oh my God, for the best day with you.
01:00:35Yes, we have.
01:00:36We have some singers.
01:00:37Yeah.
01:00:39She was interesting.
01:00:40Great spirit.
01:00:42But this boy...
01:00:43Oh, I can't get over here.
01:00:45He's a vibe.
01:00:46Kyle's found this girl
01:00:48that he's auditioned in Canberra.
01:00:58I mean, we've got a really, really tough
01:01:01few decisions to make.
01:01:03We do.
01:01:03You think some of our singers
01:01:04are starting to question
01:01:05if they've done enough?
01:01:07Yeah, I feel like the reality
01:01:08is really starting to sink in
01:01:10for these guys now.
01:01:12This is full on.
01:01:13This is the most crazy experience
01:01:15in the world.
01:01:16I'm a little bit worried.
01:01:17The competition feels absolutely real
01:01:20and the standard is so high.
01:01:22Bring them in.
01:01:24Up first to find out their fate
01:01:26are two teenage dynamos,
01:01:29Tayo and Ava,
01:01:30and Adelaide's crooner, James.
01:01:34Because I've got you
01:01:37under my skin.
01:01:39Just take your time.
01:01:43You are my treasure.
01:01:45You are my treasure.
01:01:47This is exciting.
01:01:48You are my treasure.
01:01:49Yeah, you, you, you, you.
01:01:52I'm feeling pretty nervous.
01:01:55I think Ava is really big competition,
01:01:57especially for me
01:01:58because we're similar ages.
01:01:59I hope I've done enough
01:02:01for the golden ticket.
01:02:02I'm crossing my fingers.
01:02:04There's so much more
01:02:06that I want to prove
01:02:07to be deserving of this spot.
01:02:10I cannot wait to show myself
01:02:12as a solo artist.
01:02:14My real passion is obviously music.
01:02:16I always dreamed of having
01:02:17my name in lights
01:02:18and I think it's time
01:02:20for me to shine.
01:02:22It's time.
01:02:23Good luck, you guys.
01:02:31Ooh.
01:02:32Hey, hey.
01:02:32What a line-up.
01:02:34Hello.
01:02:35Hello.
01:02:35Hey, guys.
01:02:36Hello.
01:02:38Okay, so we have Tayo,
01:02:40our 15-year-old busker,
01:02:42James, our pest control crooner.
01:02:45That's me.
01:02:46And Ava, 17-year-old kids entertainer,
01:02:50ready to take on the world
01:02:51as a solo artist.
01:02:53So this was really hard
01:02:56because even though you're all different,
01:02:59the performances were so good.
01:03:03Mm-hmm.
01:03:04It made it really, really difficult.
01:03:07We're going to have to say goodbye
01:03:08to one of you,
01:03:09just straight up.
01:03:13For one of you,
01:03:14the nerves kind of took over,
01:03:15which is such a drag.
01:03:19I'm sorry to say
01:03:20that that person
01:03:21is going to be...
01:03:30James.
01:03:32I'm really sorry, buddy.
01:03:34Please keep going
01:03:34with everything.
01:03:35Yeah, yeah.
01:03:35And hopefully we'll see you again soon.
01:03:37Take care.
01:03:38I'll see you guys.
01:03:39Thank you, James.
01:03:41That leaves our teenagers.
01:03:44I mean, Jess,
01:03:45you were a teenager
01:03:45when you were on Idol.
01:03:46Yeah.
01:03:47You know what this feels like.

01:03:49I just turned 16
01:03:50and, you know,
01:03:52I think it's...

01:03:54where you know you're ready,
01:03:56you're ready,
01:03:57and you both have that.

01:04:01in a place where
01:04:02you can really develop
01:04:04and you can learn more
01:04:05and be out there more.
