I want 0:00:07.040 --> 0:00:09.520 to thank you for tuning into today's episode, where we're 0:00:09.600 --> 0:00:13.640 joined by the latest contestants eliminated from Australian Idol's Top eight. 0:00:13.840 --> 0:00:17.160 It is John and Emma. With the competition heating up, 0:00:17.239 --> 0:00:21.160 their departure proves that Astrayan Idol is truly anyone's game 0:00:21.200 --> 0:00:24.239 in twenty twenty five. If Emma and John can be 0:00:24.320 --> 0:00:27.560 sent home, no one is safe. That's why the judges 0:00:27.600 --> 0:00:30.960 are urging viewers to vote. Every single vote matters when 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:34.640 it comes to keeping your favorite in the competition. Emma's 0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:38.360 elimination is a real shocker if you ask me, considering 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.720 the powerhouse vocals that she has brought to the stage 0:00:41.720 --> 0:00:45.839 this season and John this season's undeniable QT patuity. He 0:00:45.960 --> 0:00:49.440 has learned that charm alone isn't enough to secure us 0:00:49.440 --> 0:00:52.279 spot in the finals. In this episode, John opens up 0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.920 about his relationship with the judges for revealing which one 0:00:56.280 --> 0:00:59.560 is his favorite. Emma shares a rare insight into her 0:00:59.680 --> 0:01:03.360 unique voice ability and why it sounds so different when 0:01:03.360 --> 0:01:06.640 she sings compared to when she is talking. We dive 0:01:06.680 --> 0:01:09.200 into the behind the scenes of styling, who picks the outfits, 0:01:09.280 --> 0:01:12.240 how the songs are chosen for the group performances. Plus 0:01:12.440 --> 0:01:16.200 we get John's reaction to his Instagram dms, Emma's plans 0:01:16.240 --> 0:01:19.720 when she returns home to Canberra, and a bold prediction 0:01:19.959 --> 0:01:23.640 I make about John's future, which he seems pretty excited about. 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.720 There's actually so much to cover, with plenty of exclusive 0:01:26.760 --> 0:01:29.760 insights and behind the scenes revelations, So sit back and 0:01:29.760 --> 0:01:33.000 relax and join us as we break down the world 0:01:33.040 --> 0:01:38.800 of Australian Idol, which returns this Sunday night. Hi John, congratulation. 0:01:40.040 --> 0:01:41.120 I'm so excited. 0:01:41.280 --> 0:01:44.280 What an experience, man, It's been a massive ride. Best 0:01:44.319 --> 0:01:46.199 way to explain. It's like a bit of a roller coaster. 0:01:46.560 --> 0:01:48.240 You go through all the eyes, go all through the 0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:50.080 whole lows and you know, that's what it's all about, 0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:52.360 experiencing the whole thing so so good. 0:01:52.440 --> 0:01:54.080 Put your hands in the air and try not to spue. 0:01:54.160 --> 0:01:55.440 I think that's what roller coasters. 0:01:55.840 --> 0:01:56.560 That's it, that's it. 0:01:56.760 --> 0:01:58.960 You know, you had such a memorable time on the show. 0:01:59.000 --> 0:02:02.120 I think people will remember you for this season. But 0:02:02.200 --> 0:02:04.440 I also felt like you were a bit of an 0:02:04.520 --> 0:02:07.280 underdog or you had like an underdog status throughout your 0:02:07.280 --> 0:02:08.000 time on the show. 0:02:08.120 --> 0:02:10.720 Did you feel that Definitely, I felt like a little 0:02:10.720 --> 0:02:13.160 bit of an underdog. It was hard because the whole 0:02:13.160 --> 0:02:15.280 time I was trying to work out, you know, who 0:02:15.360 --> 0:02:17.360 I kind of was the whole time, and I was 0:02:17.360 --> 0:02:19.880 so Australia lots of different things at the same time. 0:02:20.360 --> 0:02:23.040 It was hard to really bring out who I really was. 0:02:23.280 --> 0:02:25.280 But at the same time, like, I've just got so 0:02:25.480 --> 0:02:28.119 much to give. Yes, I'm off the show and that's 0:02:28.160 --> 0:02:29.960 a shame, but the show has been so good and 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:31.960 it's taught me so many different things that I can 0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:36.320 now put into the future in my career now, how 0:02:36.360 --> 0:02:36.680 to be. 0:02:38.280 --> 0:02:57.800 And how can I love when I'm a friend. 0:02:51.040 --> 0:03:14.720 I feel like for you, when I started watching you 0:03:14.840 --> 0:03:17.959 on the show, I thought of Johnny Raffo, beautiful artist. 0:03:18.160 --> 0:03:19.920 Then he went on to do things like Home and 0:03:19.919 --> 0:03:23.360 Away and presenting and all this other stuff. I feel like, yeah, 0:03:23.560 --> 0:03:26.520 early days, but that's kind of where I see you. Like, 0:03:26.639 --> 0:03:29.400 the music is amazing, and you have an incredible voice 0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.960 and an incredible presence, but I think you're marketable way 0:03:32.960 --> 0:03:34.800 beyond all of that, Like this. 0:03:34.800 --> 0:03:37.080 This whole industry that I'm in right now is very 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.080 much a very portfolio industry, so you have to be 0:03:40.240 --> 0:03:42.000 in a lot of different things. The best person that 0:03:42.200 --> 0:03:44.560 I can think of as well is Richey Lee. She's amazing. 0:03:44.800 --> 0:03:47.000 We got out at the exact same time in the competition. 0:03:47.320 --> 0:03:48.080 She got to top eight. 0:03:48.160 --> 0:03:50.040 I got to top aight. And the thing that Ricky 0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:52.800 Lee is doing right now is incredible, man, Like, she's 0:03:52.840 --> 0:03:56.240 got her own radio show, amazing like on and she's 0:03:56.280 --> 0:03:57.320 also a singer as well. 0:03:57.480 --> 0:03:59.680 Does this mean that you in ten years time could 0:03:59.720 --> 0:04:02.160 be home sting Australian idol. I mean that's the trajectory 0:04:02.200 --> 0:04:03.680 that Ricky Lee Coolter went on. 0:04:04.000 --> 0:04:06.200 I was actually talking to some of the people there 0:04:06.320 --> 0:04:08.360 and they were like, you know what, don't you be 0:04:08.440 --> 0:04:09.320 such a cool hode. 0:04:09.400 --> 0:04:11.880 I can see that Scott tweeting watch out you might 0:04:11.920 --> 0:04:12.440 have his job. 0:04:13.000 --> 0:04:13.480 Exagree. 0:04:13.520 --> 0:04:15.800 Man, who knows what's going to happen in the future. 0:04:16.080 --> 0:04:19.039 But I'm always open to a new opportunities and trying 0:04:19.279 --> 0:04:21.920 new stuff and giving a red hot crack and yeah, 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:24.800 I've got lots to give and still very young in it. 0:04:24.920 --> 0:04:27.600 Still in some ways you're sort of because you're cute 0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:30.039 as a button and you kind of pick up all 0:04:30.120 --> 0:04:32.440 of the girls following you on. Does that add a 0:04:32.480 --> 0:04:34.600 little bit of extra pressure or does it make it 0:04:34.640 --> 0:04:37.120 a bit weirder because there's other people in the competition 0:04:37.240 --> 0:04:40.480 that don't have that. You know, no one's going yeah Jesus, 0:04:40.520 --> 0:04:41.960 all these women are screaming at you. 0:04:42.120 --> 0:04:42.680 Where for you? 0:04:43.000 --> 0:04:45.400 I wondered what that does to you? Does it add 0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:46.480 an extra pressure? 0:04:46.600 --> 0:04:49.880 Yeah? I don't know. It's like, let's say I'm performing 0:04:49.960 --> 0:04:52.880 mysel getting ready on stage right, and then you know, 0:04:53.040 --> 0:04:55.040 all the whole the whole production teams say all right, 0:04:55.279 --> 0:04:58.000 are we ready already? And in that moment, you should 0:04:58.000 --> 0:04:59.880 be locking in. You should be really thinking about your 0:05:00.480 --> 0:05:02.520 about your lyrics, thinking about how you going to deliver it. 0:05:02.720 --> 0:05:04.800 Then at the same time, you've got the people in 0:05:04.920 --> 0:05:07.520 the in the mosh pit, you know, really looking at you. 0:05:07.600 --> 0:05:09.680 All the girls are looking at you, and you don't 0:05:09.720 --> 0:05:10.200 know what to do. 0:05:10.400 --> 0:05:13.000 And I find it really tricky sometimes because I should 0:05:13.040 --> 0:05:15.520 be locking in, but at the same time they're my fans, 0:05:15.839 --> 0:05:18.000 that's my target audience. I kind of need to let that, 0:05:18.400 --> 0:05:21.160 let that in as well. So it's definitely tricky, But 0:05:21.240 --> 0:05:23.640 at the same time, it's awesome. You can't know who 0:05:23.680 --> 0:05:25.680 I am. I'm that young guy at the moment, and 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:28.720 it's just that different target audience that some people can't reach, 0:05:29.040 --> 0:05:31.600 and I can go into that. But it's very hard, man. 0:05:31.720 --> 0:05:33.520 It's like there's a lot of a lot of d 0:05:33.680 --> 0:05:35.720 ms on Instagram and there's a lot of all that 0:05:35.839 --> 0:05:38.320 type of stuff, and it gets a bit crazy. 0:05:38.600 --> 0:05:41.880 Are you right on Instagram? Are you putting the phone? Yeah? 0:05:41.920 --> 0:05:44.960 Yeah. I get back to a couple of literally some 0:05:45.120 --> 0:05:48.159 of them just say, man, congrats, that was amazing, blah 0:05:48.160 --> 0:05:50.240 blah blah. Then there's some of them that they send 0:05:50.279 --> 0:05:54.040 they're full therefore, ready made through and say how good 0:05:54.040 --> 0:05:56.360 it will be together. Sometimes I feel really bad when 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:58.719 I see a monts to paragraph and I'm like, there's 0:05:58.760 --> 0:06:00.840 no way that took time. That's right that, So of 0:06:00.920 --> 0:06:03.120 course I'll reply to that and just knowing you very much. 0:06:03.400 --> 0:06:05.040 I try to get back to as many people as 0:06:05.080 --> 0:06:07.000 I can, and with the pressure of the show, it 0:06:07.040 --> 0:06:08.880 gets really hard. But I think in the next couple 0:06:08.920 --> 0:06:09.800 of days it. 0:06:09.839 --> 0:06:12.880 To them and send them a message down to the 0:06:12.920 --> 0:06:15.200 coffee shop and just start reading their messages and sending 0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.560 them back, you know, so we can confirm that you're 0:06:17.600 --> 0:06:20.279 still single. So that's I feel like I'm adding fire, 0:06:20.440 --> 0:06:22.560 like I'm adding wood to the fire here at this point. 0:06:23.600 --> 0:06:26.760 I'm still man right, I'm still okay. 0:06:26.920 --> 0:06:30.560 Well, good luck with that, yeers. I don't know how 0:06:30.600 --> 0:06:31.240 long that will lie. 0:06:31.920 --> 0:06:35.200 I picked up on some similar stylings each week. Is 0:06:35.279 --> 0:06:37.360 that something you wear in real life? I mean, who 0:06:37.440 --> 0:06:39.960 picks the clothes for these who picks the clothes each week? Yeah? 0:06:40.120 --> 0:06:44.039 Basically we have a massive wardrobe team which is awesome. 0:06:44.240 --> 0:06:46.800 And basically every week they have a look at what 0:06:46.920 --> 0:06:50.320 song you're singing and then they choose They work with 0:06:50.440 --> 0:06:52.800 the creative team and they choose a set, and then 0:06:53.040 --> 0:06:56.000 off the set they would choose the outfit and basically 0:06:56.400 --> 0:06:58.880 they're just going it off my character. It might not 0:06:59.000 --> 0:07:02.000 be stuff I wear in everyday life, but it was 0:07:02.080 --> 0:07:05.600 more just to suit my character young gymnast that is 0:07:05.640 --> 0:07:07.320 a heart throb. And they do it to all the 0:07:07.360 --> 0:07:09.600 contestants as well and try to based off the character. 0:07:09.880 --> 0:07:12.400 And it's not a bad thing. And basically I went 0:07:12.440 --> 0:07:14.920 into this whole process of Australian idols to see what 0:07:15.040 --> 0:07:18.160 industry wants and what industry thinks about me as well, 0:07:18.480 --> 0:07:21.360 and just trying to get my head around who I 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.960 am and because you know, I'm still working that stuff out. 0:07:24.160 --> 0:07:27.360 And my mum called me last night and she says, 0:07:27.480 --> 0:07:29.840 good job, John, blah blah blah. You know that was amazing. 0:07:29.960 --> 0:07:32.440 But she says, do not leave Sydney or do not 0:07:32.600 --> 0:07:35.840 leave Idol without buying all those clothes because they are 0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:37.640 great clothes. And I'm like, you know what, mum, You're 0:07:37.760 --> 0:07:38.200 so right? 0:07:38.560 --> 0:07:40.440 Are we going to say? She was asking whether or 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.320 not you know you get them for free? Maybe you 0:07:42.360 --> 0:07:43.120 need to speak to. 0:07:43.160 --> 0:07:46.160 What I think we get a discount. I think we 0:07:46.280 --> 0:07:49.120 get a discount which is great, which is amazing. Yeah, 0:07:49.160 --> 0:07:50.920 I won't be taking half the cause. 0:07:50.720 --> 0:07:53.080 At home, amazing. I think that's great. W your wardrobe. 0:07:53.120 --> 0:07:55.560 You know, the group performances are some of my favorites, 0:07:55.960 --> 0:07:58.200 and I've never asked anyone on the show, how do 0:07:58.320 --> 0:08:01.040 you get to choose? Do you get any saying who 0:08:01.080 --> 0:08:03.640 gets the lyrics? Because some of these songs are iconic, 0:08:03.760 --> 0:08:05.920 like the Beatles, and I would be like, oh yeah, 0:08:06.320 --> 0:08:08.600 my voice suits this lyric. I want to sing that. 0:08:09.000 --> 0:08:11.640 Do you all get to have conversation that's quite open 0:08:11.880 --> 0:08:14.600 or do they just say your lyric number three. 0:08:15.640 --> 0:08:18.440 Basically that's what it is in a nutshell, but basically 0:08:18.680 --> 0:08:19.120 what it is. 0:08:19.520 --> 0:08:20.960 The whole process of singing. 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.840 A song on a TV show is massive. But then 0:08:24.000 --> 0:08:27.720 also it's hard because for the top twelve song, let's 0:08:27.720 --> 0:08:30.600 say that the song was listen to the music, great song. 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:33.120 But what happened was how we recorded that was that 0:08:33.400 --> 0:08:36.120 after the first night, those four people that got through, 0:08:36.480 --> 0:08:39.160 they will then go into the studio the next day 0:08:39.280 --> 0:08:41.720 and then they record a couple of lines and basically 0:08:42.080 --> 0:08:45.920 the music team are choosing what lyrics you're seeing. And 0:08:46.160 --> 0:08:48.559 the good thing about Australian I was that they always 0:08:48.600 --> 0:08:51.800 try to know give the best, you know, do what's right, 0:08:52.800 --> 0:08:55.199 and they do they tail it to the right person. 0:08:55.280 --> 0:08:58.240 So for example, like that that live around when we 0:08:58.559 --> 0:09:00.920 last night where we did that what do you call 0:09:01.280 --> 0:09:03.520 that Beatles song? You know Jake starting it off with 0:09:03.640 --> 0:09:06.160 that nice country kick to it. It was a great start. 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:09.160 And then you know, my line with Marshall got to 0:09:09.200 --> 0:09:10.839 be good looking because you're so hard to say like 0:09:11.120 --> 0:09:13.960 they probably thought about that, said yeah, Johnny's. 0:09:14.280 --> 0:09:16.679 Perfect, Yeah it's exactly. 0:09:16.800 --> 0:09:19.839 So it's very much up to the music team. But 0:09:19.880 --> 0:09:21.559 at the same time we all work together and we 0:09:21.640 --> 0:09:23.640 all kind of make it our own, but they do 0:09:23.760 --> 0:09:25.839 give us the lyrics, but they're also super chill about 0:09:25.960 --> 0:09:28.599 making it our own, which is nice, not being so 0:09:28.880 --> 0:09:31.719 driven on the melody, which is good. So yeah, we 0:09:31.840 --> 0:09:32.920 kind of use what we've got. 0:09:33.160 --> 0:09:36.040 There's a celebrity sort of lifestyle that you lead when 0:09:36.080 --> 0:09:38.560 you do one of these shows. And there was an 0:09:38.640 --> 0:09:40.400 article on The Woman's Day. I think about you sort 0:09:40.440 --> 0:09:42.600 of being sick at one point and worrying about whether 0:09:42.679 --> 0:09:44.760 or not you'll continue in the competition, but I noticed 0:09:44.760 --> 0:09:48.200 every week you seem to look fitter and healthier and better. 0:09:48.400 --> 0:09:50.240 The question I have for you is are you going 0:09:50.320 --> 0:09:53.600 to maintain this sort of new celebrity lifestyle of better sleep, 0:09:53.880 --> 0:09:57.120 you know, better food, looking after yourself? Like is there 0:09:57.200 --> 0:09:59.800 a change that comes with having an opportunity like this? 0:10:00.240 --> 0:10:03.280 Sure, the whole health side and the physical health but 0:10:03.400 --> 0:10:06.320 also the mental health side is a serious heart about 0:10:06.400 --> 0:10:09.679 being musician, and you know, this whole experience. Definitely in 0:10:09.720 --> 0:10:12.640 the last couple of weeks, it really shows you that 0:10:13.080 --> 0:10:15.360 you know, if you're on tour, this is what it's 0:10:15.400 --> 0:10:17.920 going to be like, you're going to be performing most nights. 0:10:18.280 --> 0:10:20.480 You need to be health and ready, like you know, 0:10:20.640 --> 0:10:24.199 be healthy and ready, and so you know, basically I 0:10:24.360 --> 0:10:26.920 was just, you know, I got into the competition. I 0:10:27.080 --> 0:10:29.920 was I was young, I was eighteen. I was still 0:10:30.440 --> 0:10:33.720 wasn't really too focused on my health and all that stuff, sure. 0:10:35.080 --> 0:10:36.560 That you know, honestly, I was in a gun. 0:10:36.520 --> 0:10:40.439 Exactly, just a normal thing, right, and then you know, 0:10:40.760 --> 0:10:43.599 I got through it just being my normal self. And 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:46.480 then it got to that top thirty week, and I 0:10:46.600 --> 0:10:49.080 was like the first week because we did three challenges 0:10:49.160 --> 0:10:51.160 in one week and you're singing every night, you're learning 0:10:51.280 --> 0:10:54.000 songs the night before that was a really tough week. 0:10:54.240 --> 0:10:59.120 And my whole health system went like, man, like that's crazy, bro. 0:10:59.440 --> 0:11:01.160 It kind of looks you got to this peak, right, 0:11:01.400 --> 0:11:03.520 and then all of a sudden, just it turned around. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:05.640 Look like you to a point where yeah, you were 0:11:05.720 --> 0:11:08.599 exhausted by the whole situation, and then from there on 0:11:08.960 --> 0:11:12.320 in you just got your skin looked better, Yeah, your 0:11:12.360 --> 0:11:14.760 eyes look better. Yeah, just pulled it like, yeah, it 0:11:14.920 --> 0:11:16.920 seemed like whatever was happening was right for you. 0:11:17.280 --> 0:11:17.920 Yeah, exactly. 0:11:18.040 --> 0:11:21.040 And I just feel like definitely coming over being away 0:11:21.080 --> 0:11:23.360 from family was really hard and I was really struggling 0:11:23.360 --> 0:11:26.200 with that. But Basically, it's the experience that you get 0:11:26.240 --> 0:11:28.000 out of it and you get used to it. You 0:11:28.080 --> 0:11:29.640 get used to going to bed at the right time, 0:11:29.720 --> 0:11:32.240 you get you feel like eating the right stuff. And 0:11:32.360 --> 0:11:34.160 I think for me as well, you know, just going 0:11:34.200 --> 0:11:36.560 on walks every day. I went to a park every 0:11:36.600 --> 0:11:39.319 single day. I had this pink footy that I used 0:11:39.320 --> 0:11:41.800 to kick up and down the corridor, all that little stuff, 0:11:42.000 --> 0:11:43.640 just to make sure that at the end of the day, 0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.880 you always need to make sure that you're okay and 0:11:45.960 --> 0:11:48.199 that you look after yourself. And I made that a 0:11:48.240 --> 0:11:52.400 big focus this trip, and it really worked in my favor, 0:11:52.480 --> 0:11:53.080 which was nice. 0:11:53.120 --> 0:11:54.640 But I really wanted you tom that up. I think 0:11:54.679 --> 0:11:56.760 that's going to be really beneficial for you because, like, 0:11:56.800 --> 0:11:58.679 if you're going to think so much, and you know, 0:11:58.800 --> 0:12:01.880 in TV and in and in music, I can tell 0:12:01.920 --> 0:12:04.400 you that I have been around the TV industry for 0:12:04.440 --> 0:12:07.080 a very long time, and the people that succeed are 0:12:07.120 --> 0:12:10.480 the people that have a really healthy life balance. And yeah, 0:12:10.760 --> 0:12:14.600 that's so important, you know, it's so important. The other thing, 0:12:14.679 --> 0:12:16.520 you know, I was going through the comments, I really 0:12:16.559 --> 0:12:18.559 wanted to ask you questions that I think that the 0:12:18.640 --> 0:12:21.439 fans wanted to know and what I kept sure winning 0:12:21.480 --> 0:12:24.320 again and again was about your song choices and who 0:12:24.400 --> 0:12:26.280 you want to be as an artist. I noticed that 0:12:26.520 --> 0:12:28.959 you'd said that you were like Justin Bieber, that's the 0:12:29.040 --> 0:12:30.679 kind of artist I want to be. But then we 0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:33.640 hear Kyle Sandalan say that probably wasn't the right song 0:12:33.720 --> 0:12:35.640 for you. And if you look at the history of 0:12:35.720 --> 0:12:38.000 songs that you sung, you know that catalog has got 0:12:38.080 --> 0:12:40.600 spice girls, it's got Robin, It's got all of these 0:12:40.640 --> 0:12:44.240 different people. Yeah, you know, y, coming out of the competition, 0:12:44.679 --> 0:12:47.199 do you feel like you are closer to knowing what 0:12:47.400 --> 0:12:48.599 kind of an artist you want to be? 0:12:49.040 --> 0:12:49.840 Yeah, for sure. 0:12:50.720 --> 0:12:53.439 I went into this competition just to give it a shot, 0:12:53.720 --> 0:12:56.920 see what this is all about. And I didn't really 0:12:57.040 --> 0:13:00.120 know who I was in what the artist was. You 0:13:00.200 --> 0:13:02.920 had a voice on you that has something to give, 0:13:03.000 --> 0:13:05.079 but I just wanted someone to say something in me, 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.800 and that's what the judges. And then basically every single 0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:10.400 round it felt like I was doing something a little 0:13:10.400 --> 0:13:12.880 bit different every single time, which is good but also 0:13:12.960 --> 0:13:15.079 bad in the same way because people were like, oh, 0:13:15.120 --> 0:13:18.440 I connected as do which is crazy for starters. 0:13:18.480 --> 0:13:21.000 You said you wanted somebody to see something in you. 0:13:21.360 --> 0:13:23.720 I want you to know not only did those judges 0:13:23.800 --> 0:13:25.880 see that and put you forward and really helps you 0:13:26.120 --> 0:13:29.760 get into the top twelve, but Australia has seen something 0:13:29.800 --> 0:13:32.599 in you. There's something unique and amazing about you that 0:13:32.800 --> 0:13:33.840 almost stands out. 0:13:33.679 --> 0:13:34.080 Of the bus. 0:13:34.280 --> 0:13:36.160 So one of the other people in the top twelve, 0:13:36.480 --> 0:13:39.080 you've really Yeah, not only have you hit the ball, 0:13:39.160 --> 0:13:40.560 you know you've had a touchdown. 0:13:40.679 --> 0:13:43.520 Yeah, oh, thank you so much. I appreciate that. And 0:13:43.640 --> 0:13:45.840 you know what, like I think doing the Justin Babers song, 0:13:46.280 --> 0:13:48.120 it was always good. I just want to show Australia 0:13:48.160 --> 0:13:50.160 something else that I can do, something a little bit different, 0:13:50.280 --> 0:13:52.440 and you definitely put a bit of a spin on things. 0:13:52.520 --> 0:13:54.880 But then really roping it back with the Coln Scott 0:13:54.960 --> 0:13:55.480 at the end. 0:14:01.280 --> 0:14:24.240 Swim every super be weird fix word up, oh it's visa. 0:14:28.000 --> 0:14:30.120 I felt like I was being myself a really strong 0:14:30.160 --> 0:14:33.280 Australia like who I am, and the judges agreed, They're like, yes, man, 0:14:33.520 --> 0:14:35.600 that's going to be who you are, bro. And I 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:37.280 was really happy with that because I really wanted to 0:14:37.320 --> 0:14:38.800 come off this show in a good way and in 0:14:38.840 --> 0:14:41.640 a positive way and making sure that you know, I 0:14:41.720 --> 0:14:43.520 was happy with myself and I was I feel. 0:14:43.360 --> 0:14:44.120 Like I landed that one. 0:14:44.240 --> 0:14:46.320 And I think you'd be hard on your sleeve, And 0:14:46.400 --> 0:14:48.360 that's part of the connect I think there's a lot 0:14:48.400 --> 0:14:51.440 of people sitting at home who would love to have 0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:54.200 the opportunity to try and improve something to themselves. And 0:14:54.320 --> 0:14:56.560 because you were hard on your sleeve, we as an 0:14:56.560 --> 0:14:59.480 audience come on that journey with you. Yeah, and we 0:14:59.640 --> 0:15:02.520 route f Yeah. I wanted to say about Sandy Lance. 0:15:02.560 --> 0:15:04.760 A lot of people talk about his comments and being 0:15:04.840 --> 0:15:07.840 that they can sometimes be quite harsh. I really like 0:15:08.080 --> 0:15:10.000 Kyle and I know him as a person, so I 0:15:10.080 --> 0:15:12.080 don't see it that way. But do you think, being 0:15:12.120 --> 0:15:15.240 a young person on television that it's easy to see 0:15:15.320 --> 0:15:18.080 that sort of criticism from someone like him? And do 0:15:18.160 --> 0:15:20.120 they prepare you? Do they say just so you know 0:15:20.320 --> 0:15:23.040 once the comments go to Kyle, he might say something crazy? 0:15:23.360 --> 0:15:24.400 Yeah, how do they know? 0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:27.440 Basically how I said the judges is that Amy Shark. 0:15:27.560 --> 0:15:29.520 She's in it right now. She's really pumping out some 0:15:29.600 --> 0:15:32.440 good stuff. She's gigging at the moment. She's this this 0:15:32.920 --> 0:15:36.560 Brian person in present time. Martha has just been amazing. 0:15:36.640 --> 0:15:39.680 She's had a massive career. She understands how the stuff 0:15:39.680 --> 0:15:41.680 where she's got the experience behind her. And then how 0:15:41.760 --> 0:15:43.720 I see Kyle is that yes he's not in the 0:15:43.840 --> 0:15:47.200 music industry, but he sees what sells right. He's a 0:15:47.280 --> 0:15:50.080 big business man. He sees this stuff, and yes he's 0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:52.520 a bit harsh, but he knows what's good what's bad. 0:15:52.720 --> 0:15:55.040 He's a bit like a Simon Cowell. Right, Yeah, think 0:15:55.080 --> 0:15:58.000 about Coyle's My best mate says is that Carl has 0:15:58.040 --> 0:16:01.800 his personality and sometimes it goes a bit, a bit haywire. 0:16:02.240 --> 0:16:04.960 But my best mate, he says, Kyle says the right 0:16:05.080 --> 0:16:07.800 thing the wrong way. And look, I agree with that term. 0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:10.880 But at the same time, like I'm taking feedback on board, 0:16:10.960 --> 0:16:13.240 like they're trying to do the best thing for me, 0:16:13.320 --> 0:16:15.720 and sometimes it goes off in a really bad way, 0:16:15.960 --> 0:16:18.840 and people will see in a really bad way. I 0:16:18.960 --> 0:16:22.040 honestly don't. I take it as you know, that constructive 0:16:22.080 --> 0:16:25.520 criticism and see the good in it. It doesn't really 0:16:25.560 --> 0:16:28.040 bother me as some people might think. And I really 0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.480 respect Carl. I think he's had it hard from a 0:16:30.600 --> 0:16:32.880 very young age and the thing he's been able to 0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.240 do is, you know, is make it right. And he's 0:16:36.280 --> 0:16:39.040 done that and really look up to Cale. To be honest, 0:16:39.080 --> 0:16:41.080 I think I answered one of the questions in an 0:16:41.160 --> 0:16:43.600 in the interview and like who's your favorite judge? I said, 0:16:44.000 --> 0:16:46.640 I reckon it has to be Cole Man like he's 0:16:46.720 --> 0:16:47.440 cool man, Like. 0:16:47.640 --> 0:16:51.520 I give him respect absolutely. You know, I've finished the 0:16:51.560 --> 0:16:53.880 podcast every time asking a question of something behind the scenes, 0:16:53.880 --> 0:16:55.240 and we've run out of time, so I have to 0:16:55.280 --> 0:16:58.520 try and sort of make it easier for you when 0:16:58.600 --> 0:17:01.000 Kyle says something like this stage, maybe a behind the 0:17:01.080 --> 0:17:03.560 scenes is whether or not you have access to Kyle 0:17:03.680 --> 0:17:06.120 all the other judges, Like once the cameras go down, 0:17:06.400 --> 0:17:07.040 do they come up? 0:17:07.119 --> 0:17:07.280 Yeah? 0:17:07.359 --> 0:17:09.320 Offer you some more clarity, Yeah. 0:17:09.160 --> 0:17:12.040 Well, basically what happens is cameras go down, we're all 0:17:12.119 --> 0:17:14.600 out the stage, and the judges actually come through and 0:17:14.680 --> 0:17:17.199 they actually talk to us as a person, which is amazing. 0:17:18.040 --> 0:17:19.920 And I don't know if I should be saying this. 0:17:20.280 --> 0:17:23.040 I wants me to say this, but basically he came 0:17:23.119 --> 0:17:25.119 up to me after that just a Beba performance and 0:17:25.200 --> 0:17:27.880 he said, you know what, man, that was amazing. He said, 0:17:28.119 --> 0:17:30.359 you did such a good job. And he said, you 0:17:30.440 --> 0:17:32.800 know the comment that I made the girls like the 0:17:32.880 --> 0:17:36.200 Martian Amy hated me saying it, but he says, like, 0:17:36.280 --> 0:17:38.119 you did such a great job and you should be 0:17:38.160 --> 0:17:40.199 really proud of yourself. He says, you know, we had 0:17:40.240 --> 0:17:42.280 to put on a TV show here, but you know 0:17:42.440 --> 0:17:44.119 you did amazing. And I was like, you know what, 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:47.400 that's massive coming from Colin. I wouldn't say it's an apology, 0:17:47.440 --> 0:17:51.639 but he's looking out for me, saying, man, you're great 0:17:52.240 --> 0:17:55.040 and all that. So that's great and I really got 0:17:55.160 --> 0:17:57.840 an awesome connection there. So we do get to meet 0:17:57.840 --> 0:18:01.160 the judges in person, which is nice. Yeah, it's great. 0:18:01.400 --> 0:18:03.560 Well, I am in your audience, my friend. Like a 0:18:03.600 --> 0:18:05.920 lot of people in Australia, I can't wait to see 0:18:06.160 --> 0:18:08.639 how you take this. I think thing the sky is 0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.240 the limit. There's plenty of opportunities out there. Please look 0:18:12.280 --> 0:18:15.920 after yourself and have will have enjoyed the ride, like 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:17.000 you know what I mean, like enjoy the. 0:18:18.880 --> 0:18:21.240
