00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:43,559
Speaker 2: Like you said, hours, your hairstyle has become you know,

00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:05,440
Speaker 4: their hair. I mean I got told by my friends

25

Speaker 4: because I was close to doing it and like, Amy,

26
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,440

27
00:01:10,880 --> 00:01:11,680
Speaker 4: do you use your hair?

28
00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,560
Speaker 3: Do you see young girls in the crowd when you're performing?

29
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 3: You've just done a huge sixty of Australia. That was

30
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 3: a huge tour that you did, and I know how

31
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:20,520
Speaker 3: tired you were at the end of that. But do

32
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:23,000
Speaker 3: you see girls out in the crowd with your haircut?

33
00:01:23,080 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 4: Oh?

34
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like a sea of not. Yeah, it's so

35
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:28,520
Speaker 1: you though, like that's it. You see it? You think

36
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:30,280
Speaker 1: came a shout like you've now, do you know?

37
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:32,280
Speaker 4: It was like a couple of years ago. I was

38
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 4: talking to my team and I'm like, I don't know,

39
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:35,320
Speaker 4: do I have to switch it up?

40
00:01:35,400 --> 00:01:37,480
Speaker 1: Is that what I like? Is that what happens?

41
00:01:37,600 --> 00:01:39,960
Speaker 4: And then I went to dinner and this mum brought

42
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 4: her daughter over and she goes, it's Amy, and the

43
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,440
Speaker 4: little girl sort of backed away and she's like, no,

44
00:01:44,520 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 4: it's not.

45
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:45,679
Speaker 1: She doesn't have.

46
00:01:45,640 --> 00:01:47,640
Speaker 4: A top not in because I had a hat on,

47
00:01:48,160 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 4: and I was like, no, it's me. And I was like,

48
00:01:49,600 --> 00:01:51,440
Speaker 4: oh my god. That's when I realized this is like

49
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:54,280
Speaker 4: a real topical girl. That's like when Jennifer Andison changed

50
00:01:54,280 --> 00:01:56,920
Speaker 4: their hair on friends and everyone in the backlash was huge.

51
00:01:56,960 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, not allowed to now.

52
00:01:58,120 --> 00:01:59,880
Speaker 4: No, It's like, and I want to know what, when

53
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,720
Speaker 4: I really thought about it, everyone that I worshiped growing

54
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:04,840
Speaker 4: up and going to what I wanted to see them

55
00:02:04,920 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 4: who I who I knew and loved, and I wanted

56
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,600
Speaker 4: them to look like who I wanted them to look.

57
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,799
Speaker 1: Like when they walked on stage.

58
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:13,960
Speaker 4: And I think I'd just let down, so you know

59
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: what I mean, They get so excited when that's who

60
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 4: I guess who I am.

61
00:02:18,360 --> 00:02:20,440
Speaker 2: Now we're just talking about Harry Styles and the fact

62
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,000
Speaker 2: that you know he reads out the signs that are

63
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800
Speaker 2: in the crowd and you know got handed the gender

64
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:27,280
Speaker 2: revealed night. Have you had much of that on stage?

65
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:32,080
Speaker 2: You hear all these stories.

66
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:36,800
Speaker 4: I toured regional Australia, Okay, like sixty dates around this

67
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,600
Speaker 4: country like Mount Gambia.

68
00:02:39,200 --> 00:02:42,200
Speaker 3: You know what I mean, nominated.

69
00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:45,200
Speaker 1: Yes, Yeah, it was huge.

70
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: So yes, I got bras, I got you know, like proposals.

71
00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: I had one lady and I don't know if I'm

72
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,200
Speaker 1: allowed to say this on the air, but.

73
00:02:55,240 --> 00:02:57,640
Speaker 4: She because people don't know how to do gigs in

74
00:02:57,680 --> 00:03:00,680
Speaker 4: some towns, they've never been to a show. So kids

75
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:02,560
Speaker 4: would come to the front with all their plush toys,

76
00:03:02,560 --> 00:03:04,880
Speaker 4: and then I realized, Okay, I'm going to get them

77
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 4: all at the start of the show and then they'll

78
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:06,959
Speaker 4: sit down.

79
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:08,519
Speaker 1: This one lady just had.

80
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:10,800
Speaker 4: Half of her breast out with a marker with like

81
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:13,800
Speaker 4: a sharpie and waited there. And I have a little

82
00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,880
Speaker 4: secret mic that I can speak to my son. I'm like,

83
00:03:15,919 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 4: what do I do here? Do I sign the boot?

84
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:20,200
Speaker 4: I do I sign the t and then she'll sit down.

85
00:03:21,880 --> 00:03:23,960
Speaker 4: But she waited there for two songs.

86
00:03:23,800 --> 00:03:25,720
Speaker 1: And I just let down. I was like, I was like, hey,

87
00:03:25,880 --> 00:03:28,600
Speaker 1: I'll get you later. I'll get you later, and I

88
00:03:28,680 --> 00:03:31,800
Speaker 1: obviously left. It was so awkward signed a breast. I

89
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:33,960
Speaker 1: didn't probably still waiting there.

90
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,920
Speaker 2: She's still She's now down at a truck stop.

91
00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:37,960
Speaker 1: With a boot.

92
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,840
Speaker 4: But yeah, so yes, to answer your question, I've had

93
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 4: some experiences.

94
00:03:44,160 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: I can talk more about this later. When Ping came in,

95
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:48,800

96
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,240

Speaker 3: have to just made you just go boys if you need.

131

Speaker 4: want Mark to sing his bit.

133
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:26,080

00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean I still feel like there's a lot

160
00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:34,159
Speaker 1: to do.

161
00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:38,560
Speaker 4: We've done the auditions and I'm actually loving it.

162
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:38,839
Speaker 1: You know.

163
00:06:39,279 --> 00:06:42,320
Speaker 4: I've got a really great friend in Harry Connick Junior

164
00:06:42,400 --> 00:06:43,719
Speaker 4: and Meghan Trainer and.

165
00:06:43,880 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: The first day was really stressful.

166
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:48,000
Speaker 4: I was so nervous and I've had a few moments

167
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,080
Speaker 4: of I'm not meant to be here, this is and

168
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,680
Speaker 4: then I've had some moments where I'm like, Wow, Amy,

169
00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:55,040
Speaker 4: I can't believe you're here.

170
00:06:55,839 --> 00:06:57,279
Speaker 1: You're a judge supposed to be there.

171
00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:59,200
Speaker 2: I mean, look at your career and these are people

172
00:06:59,200 --> 00:06:59,919
Speaker 2: who would love you.

173
00:07:00,560 --> 00:07:00,800
Speaker 4: Yeah.

174
00:07:00,920 --> 00:07:04,960
Speaker 1: I guess like it's is who we are as Australians.

175
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:07,320
Speaker 4: Self deprecating and it's happened so quick for me, I

176
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 4: think I'm always going to be a little bit like that.

177
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:12,120
Speaker 4: I'm getting a lot better with like, you know, I

178
00:07:12,160 --> 00:07:13,560
Speaker 4: know how to write a song, and I know what

179
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 4: I'm doing, and I know I'm good at that, and

180
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 4: I know that's like my purpose. But when you're sitting

181
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,760
Speaker 4: there judging someone, that's like, that's that's a lot, you know.

182
00:07:20,800 --> 00:07:22,680
Speaker 4: And I used to watch these shows and feel so

183
00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:26,040
Speaker 4: scared for these kids. So I've taken a real nurturing role,

184
00:07:26,080 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 4: I guess. And I love that they're seeing another Australian

185
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:32,400
Speaker 4: sitting like who obviously worked really hard to get there,

186
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:33,640
Speaker 4: but it gives them hope.

187
00:07:33,720 --> 00:07:35,080
Speaker 1: I can see it in their eyes.

188
00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:37,320
Speaker 2: You know what's har iconic Junior? Like, does he go hard?

189
00:07:37,440 --> 00:07:40,920
Speaker 4: He's like my best friend, but he's brutal, is he?

190
00:07:41,120 --> 00:07:42,679
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's not there to mess around.

191
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 2: Constructive brutal or.

192

Speaker 1: No, He's very constructive.

193
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:52,720
Speaker 4: And it's all like he articulates it so beautifully that

194
00:07:52,920 --> 00:07:55,000
Speaker 4: you know, if I'm next after him, I'm like, I'm

195
00:07:55,040 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 4: just going to sound like an idiot. So amazing what

196
00:07:58,120 --> 00:07:59,800
Speaker 4: you just said. It's it's very technical a lot of

197
00:07:59,800 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 4: the time, but he.

201
00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:15,320
Speaker 3: Yes, it's from the nineties. Yeah, yeah, is so scary enough.

202
00:08:15,720 --> 00:08:16,960
Speaker 3: If you can go and watch that.

203
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: He'll look at me and he gets the copycat eyes out.

00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,679

213
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:48,240

00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:52,160
