Twenty years after Guys 0:00:16.720 --> 0:00:20.520 Sebastian pipped Shannonold to become Australia's first Idol, the international 0:00:20.640 --> 0:00:24.720 star making reality TV Sensation has returned to Channel seven 0:00:24.760 --> 0:00:27.040 and seven plus And if you aren't watching, you were 0:00:27.080 --> 0:00:30.800 missing out on some sensational television. Said to be the 0:00:30.960 --> 0:00:33.680 toughest season we've ever seen an Australian Idol. I think 0:00:33.760 --> 0:00:36.840 Kyle Sandalance mentioned that last night we saw the top 0:00:36.920 --> 0:00:40.239 ten go down to the top eight. Today we are 0:00:40.240 --> 0:00:42.440 going to sit down with TJ and Tyler to get 0:00:42.440 --> 0:00:44.479 the goss on what they thought of their time on 0:00:44.520 --> 0:00:47.400 the show. We will unpack why this season has seen 0:00:47.440 --> 0:00:50.639 so many shot departures so far and how the judges 0:00:50.720 --> 0:00:54.480 may be affecting the votes. TJ will unpack his unusual 0:00:54.600 --> 0:00:58.040 style and if John Farnham has actually contacted him about 0:00:58.040 --> 0:01:01.520 his version of the voice. We'll talk about his career 0:01:01.560 --> 0:01:04.520 progression from idol and who is going on the boys 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:08.560 tour once Idol is finished? Plus everything from what they 0:01:08.560 --> 0:01:12.000 thought of Amy Sharks singing live and if it's okay 0:01:12.080 --> 0:01:15.800 to sing with American accents if you are Australian. There 0:01:15.880 --> 0:01:18.160 is actually so much to unpack with the guys today, 0:01:18.200 --> 0:01:21.040 and they're very genuine boys. So sit back and relax 0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:23.840 as we dive just that little bit deeper into the 0:01:23.880 --> 0:01:26.920 world of Australian Idol. How are you mate? 0:01:27.080 --> 0:01:28.039 Look a lot better than me. 0:01:28.319 --> 0:01:33.280 So what type of sleep do you get after being 0:01:33.280 --> 0:01:34.880 eliminated from Australian Idol? 0:01:36.240 --> 0:01:38.600 None, yes, well yeah, I was gonna say, well, yeah, 0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:40.880 it's this type of sleep that you and yeah, yeah, nam, 0:01:41.000 --> 0:01:41.959 So it's all good. 0:01:42.160 --> 0:01:42.680 It's all good. 0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:45.040 Did you try and get any sleep? Did you lie 0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.440 in bed and do? What my mum would say is 0:01:47.600 --> 0:01:49.480 just as long as you're in bed and you're lying there, 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:50.880 then it's still good. 0:01:51.120 --> 0:01:51.840 Yeah, I guess. 0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:54.640 So, you know, I wasn't sleeping, but as long as 0:01:54.640 --> 0:01:56.760 I hit the pillar and like pretended to sleep, it's okay. 0:01:56.880 --> 0:01:59.480 Well, I just want to say that Post Malone song 0:01:59.720 --> 0:02:02.320 of yours and your version of it was dope. And 0:02:02.360 --> 0:02:04.559 I'm forty four and I shouldn't say the word dope 0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:07.880 because it makes me seem ridiculous, but I feel like 0:02:07.920 --> 0:02:08.680 it's appropriate. 0:02:08.880 --> 0:02:09.560 Yeah. 0:02:09.639 --> 0:02:11.760 I don't know. I just kind of just winged it 0:02:11.880 --> 0:02:14.480 and people are saying they like it, so that's that 0:02:14.520 --> 0:02:15.200 makes me happy. 0:02:15.320 --> 0:02:16.000 So yeah, it was. 0:02:16.040 --> 0:02:18.200 I mean, I put I obviously put some thought into it, 0:02:18.280 --> 0:02:20.200 but I just wanted to have a different bit of 0:02:20.280 --> 0:02:21.959 edge on it. It was a bit of different vibe 0:02:22.000 --> 0:02:23.560 to it and turned out all right. 0:02:23.680 --> 0:02:25.920 I think I think I heard you say that you 0:02:25.960 --> 0:02:28.760 saw post Malone. Did you see him in a live 0:02:28.840 --> 0:02:29.800 concert at some point? 0:02:30.000 --> 0:02:33.640 Yeah, I saw im, and I saw him at Spilt Milk, 0:02:33.960 --> 0:02:35.040 which is a music festival. 0:02:35.120 --> 0:02:35.400 Yeah. 0:02:35.440 --> 0:02:37.440 And did you borrow any of his dance moves? Because 0:02:37.480 --> 0:02:40.040 Kyle Sanderalanz was saying that some of your dance moves 0:02:40.040 --> 0:02:42.680 were very Zoolander, But I was actually thinking I could 0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.760 see some actual post Malone in there, because he's kind 0:02:45.760 --> 0:02:48.760 of doing some strange stuff while he's dancing, isn't he Yeah, 0:02:48.800 --> 0:02:49.079 he does. 0:02:49.320 --> 0:02:52.120 He does some whack moves and like he's so unique 0:02:52.240 --> 0:02:55.400 in how he does that, And honestly, I just I 0:02:55.560 --> 0:02:58.280 had no choreography planned whatever, just came to my mind. 0:02:58.320 --> 0:03:01.040 I just did it, and that's just what happened. So 0:03:01.440 --> 0:03:04.680 nothing was planned. Everything was honestly just like feeling it, 0:03:04.960 --> 0:03:06.280 just doing what I felt was right. 0:03:06.480 --> 0:03:08.360 Well, I really do you know what? I actually was 0:03:08.639 --> 0:03:10.840 so looking forward to every week, and I don't know 0:03:10.840 --> 0:03:13.320 how I'm going to enjoy the show without you and 0:03:13.840 --> 0:03:16.440 your voice. To me, maybe it's just that's the style 0:03:16.440 --> 0:03:18.680 of music that I'm into, But I don't feel like 0:03:18.680 --> 0:03:20.720 the competition is going to be the same now that 0:03:20.800 --> 0:03:23.200 you've gone. What is up with the voting this year? 0:03:23.240 --> 0:03:26.000 Why are we seeing so many of our best artists 0:03:26.000 --> 0:03:27.440 being booted out of the competition. 0:03:27.600 --> 0:03:28.000 I don't know. 0:03:28.080 --> 0:03:28.799 I mean it's tough. 0:03:28.919 --> 0:03:32.000 Hey, Like I am obviously in this like locked away 0:03:32.120 --> 0:03:34.520 in this in this world of just like being in 0:03:34.520 --> 0:03:38.160 the studio recording, filming, you know, rehearsing, and it's like 0:03:38.680 --> 0:03:41.760 you kind of distance yourself from the outside world a bit. 0:03:41.880 --> 0:03:44.920 And I think what it is honestly, Like you know, 0:03:45.120 --> 0:03:48.360 I think Trans a great example, Like you know, he 0:03:48.480 --> 0:03:52.240 has this massive sort of support group behind him and 0:03:52.280 --> 0:03:55.160 he's just getting hundreds of thousands of votes. Trans a 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.960 great singer, But like I'm not targeting him, but like 0:03:58.120 --> 0:04:01.320 a lot of people have his like whole followings behind them, 0:04:01.560 --> 0:04:05.280 and it's not necessarily because they can, you know, they 0:04:05.280 --> 0:04:06.920 have the best voice or they look the best. 0:04:07.000 --> 0:04:09.840 Is because they just like people. It's honestly just fans 0:04:09.840 --> 0:04:10.400 of who. 0:04:10.200 --> 0:04:13.000 They are, what they do, how they address. Obviously like 0:04:13.080 --> 0:04:17.040 their voice and all that stuff is accounted for. But yeah, everyone, 0:04:17.240 --> 0:04:19.720 like a very few select people that just have a 0:04:19.760 --> 0:04:22.080 lot and a lot of support behind them. And I 0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:23.720 was kind of getting all my votes from like a 0:04:23.760 --> 0:04:26.479 small community basing and for my family and friends, so 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:28.800 it was it was a tough compent. It's a tough 0:04:28.880 --> 0:04:32.240 comp because some people just really really loved more than others. 0:04:32.400 --> 0:04:35.040 So but that's just the that's the that's just how 0:04:35.080 --> 0:04:35.360 it is. 0:04:35.520 --> 0:04:39.080 But Tyler, you know, the judges really can influence the outcomes. 0:04:39.200 --> 0:04:42.480 If they say that you're too good, people don't seem 0:04:42.520 --> 0:04:44.960 to vote for them. But if they say you are terrible, 0:04:45.240 --> 0:04:47.520 or in fact call you Curmit the frog, then that 0:04:47.839 --> 0:04:50.560 I believe changes the votes. So they've got to be 0:04:50.600 --> 0:04:52.839 really careful about what they say because I kind of 0:04:52.839 --> 0:04:55.279 feel like the judges are controlling this somehow. 0:04:55.520 --> 0:04:58.400 Yeah, I think the judges have they have a massive say, 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.640 like people say that the judges have an sort of 0:05:00.680 --> 0:05:02.839 effects on this what they do because what they say 0:05:03.040 --> 0:05:03.839 people listen to. 0:05:04.240 --> 0:05:06.600 They are they have the credible source within the show. 0:05:06.920 --> 0:05:10.480 And if they go, oh yeah, no, not your best performance, 0:05:10.520 --> 0:05:13.040 ra Rah, obviously a show I think one way, I think, 0:05:13.200 --> 0:05:15.920 oh that was amazing, perfect in Australia in another way, 0:05:16.000 --> 0:05:18.479 so it's like, yeah, they have a massive say so 0:05:18.560 --> 0:05:22.040 what they can definitely control the show in how they 0:05:22.120 --> 0:05:22.840 comment on our. 0:05:22.760 --> 0:05:25.800 Performances because I believe that if we took away that 0:05:25.960 --> 0:05:29.880 Kermit comment from Trent and we called you Agro or 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.080 of some other puppet, I don't know, kind of feel 0:05:32.120 --> 0:05:34.680 like Australia might have felt like you were unsafe and 0:05:34.680 --> 0:05:35.800 so they would have voted for you. 0:05:35.960 --> 0:05:37.919 I feel like the judges like life our performance and 0:05:37.920 --> 0:05:39.680 I was like pretty mutually like oh yeah, it was cool. 0:05:39.680 --> 0:05:42.600 You know, there's nothing controversial, and it was just sort 0:05:42.640 --> 0:05:45.000 of like your basic sort of comments. And also at 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.760 the same time, it happens if I'd closed or sometimes 0:05:47.920 --> 0:05:50.160 I feel like the show might keep certain people there 0:05:50.160 --> 0:05:52.159 for a reason because you know, they might you know, 0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.680 create certain stories or you know, the controversy that they 0:05:56.720 --> 0:05:58.880 want to keep on the show. So you know, I'm 0:05:58.920 --> 0:06:01.840 not saying that I know anything because I don't, but 0:06:02.160 --> 0:06:03.719 it is what it is, I guess. So you just 0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.359 got to go to roll with the punches. 0:06:06.000 --> 0:06:08.600 I kind of feel like you're the Matt Corby And 0:06:08.640 --> 0:06:10.479 maybe this is showing my age when I see this. 0:06:10.640 --> 0:06:12.440 Maybe you don't know who Matt Corby is, but I 0:06:12.440 --> 0:06:14.880 feel like you're the Matt Corby of the season. I 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:17.960 feel like you're the artist that I can imagine already 0:06:17.960 --> 0:06:21.159 being on Triple J, already having a different sound, already 0:06:21.200 --> 0:06:24.600 stepping outside of the idol box because no one even 0:06:24.640 --> 0:06:27.279 thinks of Matt Corby coming from Australian Idol. And I 0:06:27.279 --> 0:06:29.159 feel like that's the conversation we're going to have about 0:06:29.200 --> 0:06:32.120 you in ten years is people will be like, did 0:06:32.160 --> 0:06:34.680 you know that he was on Australian Idol. I feel 0:06:34.720 --> 0:06:35.719 like that's where we're going. 0:06:35.880 --> 0:06:37.720 That's great, I mean that would be crazy. I love 0:06:37.760 --> 0:06:40.719 Matt Corby, mate, He's amazing and I want to still 0:06:40.760 --> 0:06:42.960 pushing to play a show with him. It could be 0:06:43.000 --> 0:06:44.880 true that I think like, in the next couple of years, 0:06:45.120 --> 0:06:47.520 I want to be remembered for, you know, being a 0:06:47.520 --> 0:06:50.239 good songwriter and bringing a good show to your city, 0:06:50.240 --> 0:06:53.320 wherever you live, and I think, like the whole old experience, 0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.000 it will be acknowledged, but it might not be remembered 0:06:56.120 --> 0:06:58.039 very well, and it might be one of those things 0:06:58.080 --> 0:06:59.520 like you said, you look at that in the past. 0:07:00.800 --> 0:07:02.960 Tyler's great, but did you know, like like you just said, 0:07:03.000 --> 0:07:04.560 did you know he was actually an Australian id on 0:07:04.600 --> 0:07:06.440 People be like, oh, well, no, I didn't. 0:07:06.200 --> 0:07:07.839 So, but I'm like, I'm. 0:07:07.680 --> 0:07:09.640 Hoping that's that's the player because They're like, I want 0:07:09.640 --> 0:07:11.560 to be playing shows for living, you know. I want 0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:13.960 to go around and play my original set with the 0:07:13.960 --> 0:07:17.120 band and just play to these awesome crowds and wherever 0:07:17.160 --> 0:07:17.640 I go, I. 0:07:17.600 --> 0:07:19.200 Just want I want people to come and just just 0:07:19.280 --> 0:07:21.000 listen and have a good time. And I hope that 0:07:21.040 --> 0:07:21.520 will be my. 0:07:21.520 --> 0:07:23.800 Life stern and I'm already doing it just sort of 0:07:23.840 --> 0:07:26.640 small scale. I hope the scales gets bigger and bigger 0:07:26.640 --> 0:07:28.240 because I just I just live for and hale, like 0:07:28.320 --> 0:07:30.040 especially being on that stage of an idol, it's like 0:07:30.200 --> 0:07:32.760 playing for that crowd and it's just like sometimes you 0:07:32.800 --> 0:07:34.880 just want to cry because you just it just feels so. 0:07:35.160 --> 0:07:36.080 It just feels so good. 0:07:36.240 --> 0:07:38.280 I mean, these shows are kind of like an invitation 0:07:38.440 --> 0:07:41.120 to a career. That's the way that I've always explained it, 0:07:41.200 --> 0:07:43.960 because yes, it shows you that you have an X 0:07:44.040 --> 0:07:46.040 factor to get picked and to get as far as 0:07:46.040 --> 0:07:47.960 you do. But I mean, it's really up to you 0:07:48.040 --> 0:07:50.360 as to what you do moving out of this. And 0:07:50.440 --> 0:07:52.880 I just feel like that transition for you will be 0:07:52.920 --> 0:07:54.880 quite easy, because I mean, idle. You know, they've got 0:07:54.920 --> 0:07:57.080 to do things like let's have a game that we're 0:07:57.120 --> 0:07:59.560 playing with the audience where you know, the judges are 0:07:59.560 --> 0:08:01.640 picking songs for you. That can be a bit of 0:08:01.680 --> 0:08:03.600 a distraction and it can be a bit of a 0:08:03.640 --> 0:08:06.720 novelty where that kind of stuff doesn't really exist for artists, 0:08:06.800 --> 0:08:08.000 you know what I mean in the real world. 0:08:08.280 --> 0:08:10.320 So true, Hey, yeah, And I think that that's because 0:08:10.360 --> 0:08:12.000 you remember, at the end of the day, like it 0:08:12.200 --> 0:08:15.040 is a television show and that they want to enter 0:08:15.280 --> 0:08:17.280 pole and they want there to be controversy. It's like 0:08:17.520 --> 0:08:19.520 that's what's just so different, Like it's not you're not 0:08:19.560 --> 0:08:22.080 in the music industry there, You're not doing that. You're 0:08:22.120 --> 0:08:24.120 like on a television show that's trying to get good 0:08:24.200 --> 0:08:27.240 ratings and get some awesome ads in the lineup, and 0:08:28.160 --> 0:08:30.080 you know, I know that a lot of them do 0:08:30.200 --> 0:08:32.440 care about us and what we do, but at the 0:08:32.440 --> 0:08:34.680 same time, like they're trying to just create a really 0:08:34.840 --> 0:08:38.200 captivating television show. And I think that that for me 0:08:38.320 --> 0:08:40.199 is like one thing that I started. 0:08:39.920 --> 0:08:41.880 To learn, and like I just when I learned that, 0:08:41.960 --> 0:08:42.480 it's like, you know, I. 0:08:42.720 --> 0:08:44.120 Want to go out there and perform like it my 0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.200 last performance, and just that's all you can really do 0:08:46.320 --> 0:08:48.600 is just like to speak for yourself. And I don't know, 0:08:48.760 --> 0:08:50.480 sometimes they try to throw a spanner in the works, 0:08:50.520 --> 0:08:52.520 but it's really important for what I try to do 0:08:52.679 --> 0:08:54.920 is be myself. And I watched back to the episodes 0:08:54.960 --> 0:08:58.520 and sometimes instead of smiling and you know, doing that, 0:08:58.600 --> 0:09:01.000 I'm just looking like and need it. But that's just 0:09:01.040 --> 0:09:03.240 because I just tried to be myself. But I try 0:09:03.280 --> 0:09:06.360 to statue to myself because you don't want anyone having 0:09:06.360 --> 0:09:07.959 a false representation of who you are. 0:09:08.200 --> 0:09:10.000 You've been put in advice though, Like I mean, this 0:09:10.080 --> 0:09:11.959 is what I don't think people realize. You know, when 0:09:11.960 --> 0:09:13.640 you're being picked to me on a show like this, 0:09:13.840 --> 0:09:15.719 it is a much bigger beast than I think in 0:09:16.480 --> 0:09:18.840 what people understand and when you're in the vice. It's 0:09:18.920 --> 0:09:21.000 very hard to try to stay true to yourself. I 0:09:21.080 --> 0:09:24.120 genuinely do think we've got a really good understanding of 0:09:24.120 --> 0:09:26.280 who you were, though I think you maintained that. I 0:09:26.320 --> 0:09:28.000 don't think there's anything that you need to be embarrassed 0:09:28.000 --> 0:09:29.800 about at all. I mean, there was probably one dance 0:09:29.880 --> 0:09:32.680 move that I thought, watching back maybe looked a little 0:09:32.679 --> 0:09:36.839 bit strange. But that'll be on TikTok tomorrow, And maybe 0:09:36.840 --> 0:09:38.320 that's the controversy that you need. 0:09:38.520 --> 0:09:41.439 Maybe God, sometimes I should think about what I'm doing. 0:09:41.480 --> 0:09:43.280 But anyway, who's. 0:09:43.040 --> 0:09:44.920 Going on the boys tour? Maybe this is where the 0:09:44.960 --> 0:09:48.560 controversy that's going to elevate you into statum is going 0:09:48.640 --> 0:09:50.960 to come from. As in, like the boys on the 0:09:51.000 --> 0:09:53.280 show remaining, didn't you say last night you're going to 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.120 take the boys on tour? Like we're going to go 0:09:55.360 --> 0:09:56.880 and do an idle tour? 0:09:57.120 --> 0:09:58.920 Oh? So what I mean is like say, I have 0:09:59.040 --> 0:10:01.839 two best friends that are twin brothers and we grew 0:10:01.920 --> 0:10:04.200 up together, and okay, they are the boys, and they 0:10:04.480 --> 0:10:06.840 stood up and had a cheering I think they might 0:10:06.880 --> 0:10:09.439 have been in last night's show. They might have shown 0:10:09.480 --> 0:10:11.520 them with those two boys. So one of them is 0:10:11.520 --> 0:10:13.520 a drummer, and one of them is are guitars and 0:10:13.520 --> 0:10:17.240 seeing we all sing, but so essentially we're a trio. Yeah, 0:10:17.360 --> 0:10:19.640 I'm like the lead singer. When I said that, it's 0:10:19.640 --> 0:10:21.120 like I want to, you know, sad to me just 0:10:21.160 --> 0:10:23.280 going around my guitar to all the countries, I. 0:10:23.200 --> 0:10:26.280 Mean all the the the cities maybe countries. One day. 0:10:26.320 --> 0:10:28.839 I want to obviously bring bring the band and make 0:10:28.920 --> 0:10:31.320 it a real awesome show, like you know, like bring 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:32.680 the same energy. 0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:34.439 As the idol stage of the Footall Band. 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:36.920 And I want to do my songs, but I might 0:10:36.960 --> 0:10:39.000 also play, you know, some some of the idle songs 0:10:39.040 --> 0:10:40.600 that I've done, but I want to I want to 0:10:40.600 --> 0:10:43.680 bring that vibe and it's it's definitely the worst. As 0:10:43.679 --> 0:10:45.920 soon as they get home tomorrow, it's going to be 0:10:46.000 --> 0:10:50.640 like put down organizing at every city, which venue, let's 0:10:50.640 --> 0:10:53.680 skept tickets going and get people to come and watch 0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:55.640 in person instead of on a television screen. 0:10:55.920 --> 0:10:59.000 What did you think of Amy Shark's Foreman's I think 0:10:59.040 --> 0:11:01.280 we saw how high it is to sing on that stage. 0:11:01.280 --> 0:11:03.720 By watching someone of her caliber up there, you know, 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:06.160 you can hear some of that music intonation and some 0:11:06.200 --> 0:11:09.480 of the people were commenting about a slight American accent 0:11:09.559 --> 0:11:12.160 being heard with Amy, and then also people are talking 0:11:12.400 --> 0:11:15.640 about an American accent being heard in some of the artists. 0:11:15.720 --> 0:11:20.440 But what's your comment on Australian artists singing with American accents? 0:11:20.559 --> 0:11:22.760 Is that a crutch that we should try and avoid 0:11:22.880 --> 0:11:24.960 or is that something that just happens. 0:11:25.640 --> 0:11:28.920 Look, in my personal opinion, it's a tough one to 0:11:29.000 --> 0:11:31.760 crack because I don't think I have too much American 0:11:31.800 --> 0:11:35.920 accent with myself, so commenting on people that do, it's 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:37.840 a tough one to talk about because. 0:11:37.840 --> 0:11:38.520 Could you hear it? 0:11:38.520 --> 0:11:38.800 Though? 0:11:39.000 --> 0:11:41.040 Could you hear some of the American accents coming out 0:11:41.040 --> 0:11:42.560 of the performance, especially this week? 0:11:42.600 --> 0:11:44.880 Okay, yeah, I can, I can, yeah, And I can't. 0:11:44.920 --> 0:11:45.880 Like when I think about. 0:11:45.640 --> 0:11:48.839 The contestants from last night, like the ten of Us, 0:11:48.920 --> 0:11:50.439 I can't like to tell you shut off top my 0:11:50.480 --> 0:11:53.680 head who I think doesn't and doesn't. But like you said, 0:11:53.679 --> 0:11:55.880 with Amy, like I think throughout her whole crew, she's 0:11:55.880 --> 0:11:57.880 always had that And I don't know if she does 0:11:57.920 --> 0:12:00.439 it deliberately, and I don't know if you just I'm 0:12:00.440 --> 0:12:01.800 assuming it comes naturally for her. 0:12:01.800 --> 0:12:02.120 I don't know. 0:12:02.120 --> 0:12:04.120 I don't think she's putting it on. But I know 0:12:04.160 --> 0:12:06.559 a couple of my matest kind of have that as well. 0:12:06.720 --> 0:12:07.520 I don't know what it is. 0:12:07.520 --> 0:12:09.840 It might be who they listen to, who they're influenced 0:12:09.840 --> 0:12:12.640 by throughout their career. But if it works for them, 0:12:12.640 --> 0:12:13.199 it works them. 0:12:13.240 --> 0:12:15.319 Like you know, Amy obviously has an awesome career, and 0:12:15.440 --> 0:12:18.640 there's an audience there that that love what she does, that. 0:12:18.520 --> 0:12:21.200 Loves Maybe it makes her sound more universal, I mean global. 0:12:21.280 --> 0:12:23.720 Maybe you know, the music is more accessible if that. 0:12:23.960 --> 0:12:28.440 If that's the case, EXE, what could you offer as 0:12:28.480 --> 0:12:31.320 advice to people who would want to do this show? Like, 0:12:31.360 --> 0:12:33.960 now that you've gone through the whole experience, do you 0:12:34.080 --> 0:12:35.680 have any advice on how to do it? 0:12:35.800 --> 0:12:37.120 Okay, I guess yeah. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.080 I ran a couple of the contestants from last year 0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:42.319 and asked for advice, And now that I've done it, honestly, 0:12:42.440 --> 0:12:46.600 I was going into it very skeptical and like very like, oh, 0:12:46.640 --> 0:12:48.079 I don't know if it's the right thing to do, 0:12:48.400 --> 0:12:51.560 But honestly, like after doing it, like I don't see 0:12:51.600 --> 0:12:54.199 any issues in doing the show at all if you're 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:56.400 an honest like me, I was very like, oh, you know, 0:12:56.480 --> 0:12:58.040 I want to dress like I want I want to 0:12:58.040 --> 0:13:00.320 address myself. I want to play the guitar. I want 0:13:00.360 --> 0:13:01.840 to do the songs that I want to do. But 0:13:02.200 --> 0:13:03.839 then it's like, why don't just try not playing the 0:13:03.880 --> 0:13:05.560 guitar and why do you just try this song? Wan 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:07.240 need to try away in this And it's like then it. 0:13:07.320 --> 0:13:08.000 Forced upon you. 0:13:08.040 --> 0:13:10.080 They just say try it because obviously they want you 0:13:10.120 --> 0:13:12.839 to be comfortable. They're not all horrible humans, They're like, 0:13:12.880 --> 0:13:16.120 they're all very very kind. I personally have learned so 0:13:16.240 --> 0:13:18.760 much about myself, Like I didn't This is my first 0:13:18.800 --> 0:13:22.840 like Chemical POMPEII, I had no guitar and that was 0:13:22.840 --> 0:13:24.880 the first time I've been on a massive stage without 0:13:24.920 --> 0:13:27.000 a guitar and by myself. I can only have a 0:13:27.040 --> 0:13:28.920 band with me, like the being behind me and the 0:13:28.960 --> 0:13:31.440 best band in Australia. And it's like, I've learned so 0:13:31.559 --> 0:13:34.280 much about myself. I didn't know I could do that 0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:35.480 and I've never tried, but now. 0:13:35.400 --> 0:13:37.000 And I could do it. So one thing is I've 0:13:37.040 --> 0:13:39.600 learned a lot about myself, and two is like. 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:42.920 I mean, I've gained an amazing sort of following as 0:13:42.960 --> 0:13:46.439 well that of people that are interested, genuinely interested. 0:13:46.040 --> 0:13:48.320 In what I do and me as an artist. 0:13:48.440 --> 0:13:51.720 And I think I've gained a lot of positive things 0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:55.400 from this show. At this stage now, I haven't experienced 0:13:55.440 --> 0:13:57.719 anything negative. I mean I haven't been able to serve 0:13:57.760 --> 0:14:00.560 for a while. That's the only negative thing I think about. 0:14:01.200 --> 0:14:03.200 And you're away from your family and friends, you get 0:14:03.240 --> 0:14:07.200 a bit isolated, and that side is tough. Honestly, it's 0:14:07.240 --> 0:14:10.480 just it's just like amazing exposure and good experience and 0:14:10.480 --> 0:14:13.480 the learning experience, and all you got to think about 0:14:13.559 --> 0:14:15.840 is contracts and stuff like that. Just make sure you 0:14:15.880 --> 0:14:19.080 read the contracts through. You know, you are signed with 0:14:19.120 --> 0:14:19.960 management and Sony. 0:14:19.960 --> 0:14:22.200 If you win, well maybe you also have Kyle sandy 0:14:22.280 --> 0:14:24.040 Lands mobile number and you can go one of those 0:14:24.200 --> 0:14:26.880 wild Coachella to us that he was talking about. 0:14:26.920 --> 0:14:27.480 That'd be great. 0:14:27.520 --> 0:14:29.960 Yeah, I mean you get to on a pass super 0:14:30.040 --> 0:14:33.040 we're in like a yacht with the Kyle that that 0:14:33.160 --> 0:14:35.200 was cool. So you get to do a lot of 0:14:35.200 --> 0:14:37.880 cool stuff. And I mean it is stressful. You got 0:14:37.920 --> 0:14:40.680 something like I found out I was through on Tuesday 0:14:40.720 --> 0:14:42.280 and then on Saturday I had to perform a new 0:14:42.280 --> 0:14:44.680 song again. So like you've got to be mentally prepared. 0:14:44.840 --> 0:14:46.840 Don't do it if you play five gigs and you 0:14:46.880 --> 0:14:49.320 think you're having all right voice and you know you're 0:14:49.360 --> 0:14:51.360 just just coming into it. I think, just just give 0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:53.720 yourself a bit of time because it is a lot, 0:14:53.840 --> 0:14:55.720 and you need to know how to manage yourself once 0:14:55.760 --> 0:14:57.520 you're out of the show, you know, because there's no 0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.400 one holding your hand once you're out. You need to 0:14:59.400 --> 0:15:01.760 know how it all works. And I've been doing it 0:15:01.800 --> 0:15:04.120 since I was sixteen is about six years now, and 0:15:04.400 --> 0:15:06.840 I think that's how like the six year experience has 0:15:06.920 --> 0:15:08.880 helped me kind of push through this. And you know, 0:15:09.000 --> 0:15:11.120 I'm not devastating on leaving because I get to work 0:15:11.280 --> 0:15:12.280 on myself. 0:15:11.920 --> 0:15:12.640 Now, if you know what I mean. 0:15:12.760 --> 0:15:16.040 Well, guys, Sebastian's reached out to Ripley to mentor him. 0:15:16.200 --> 0:15:18.640 Maybe there's another artist in Australia that's going to want 0:15:18.640 --> 0:15:21.480 to mentor you, and mentorships are so important as well. 0:15:21.760 --> 0:15:23.480 I'd love that. That would be really really cool. 0:15:23.680 --> 0:15:24.440 I hope I. 0:15:24.400 --> 0:15:25.160 Hope someone does. 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:30.240 I've been sort of run solo managing and promote myself 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:32.520 for the last six years, so it's like to have 0:15:32.840 --> 0:15:33.360 helping hand. 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:34.200 It always be nice. 0:15:34.440 --> 0:15:36.120 Just get Shannon Nol to do it, because we could 0:15:36.120 --> 0:15:38.040 bring that rivalry back, you know what I mean, like 0:15:38.240 --> 0:15:40.560 everyone would find that's a good rivalry. Who do you 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:41.240 think is going to win? 0:15:41.480 --> 0:15:43.760 Like one person?
