WEBVTT - BONY & HANNAH - AUSTRALIAN IDOL - CHANNEL SEVEN 0:00:00.120 --> 0:00:01.680 It's in the news today, but it was actually on 0:00:01.720 --> 0:00:05.360 TV reloaded the podcast last week. Thereby, Hey guys, welcome 0:00:05.400 --> 0:00:07.200 back to TV Reload. I want to thank you for 0:00:07.240 --> 0:00:10.160 clicking and downloading. On today's episode with Bonnie and Hannah, 0:00:10.200 --> 0:00:13.560 the next two contestants who've been booted from Australian Idols 0:00:13.600 --> 0:00:17.520 Top ten, the competition is really heating up, and honestly, 0:00:17.720 --> 0:00:20.119 I think week after week fans are going to be 0:00:20.160 --> 0:00:23.000 pulling at their heads after seeing their favorites go home. 0:00:23.120 --> 0:00:25.680 It's anyone's guess on who's going to take out this 0:00:25.760 --> 0:00:28.920 year's competition. I'm going to say that I'm not completely 0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:32.080 shocked at this week's eliminations. I think these two are 0:00:32.200 --> 0:00:35.360 both fantastic artists, but I truly don't know if this 0:00:35.400 --> 0:00:38.360 show would have brought these two artists anything more or 0:00:38.440 --> 0:00:41.000 any more gravitas than they'd already got from being on 0:00:41.040 --> 0:00:44.080 the show thus far. Just my opinion. Bonnie is going 0:00:44.120 --> 0:00:47.280 to discuss his career trajectory. He's very ambitious, let me 0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:49.839 tell you, and if he will take Kyle Sandilands up 0:00:49.880 --> 0:00:52.920 on his offer to record in his private studio. Hannah 0:00:52.920 --> 0:00:55.720 will share how she really feels about being called a 0:00:55.800 --> 0:00:58.200 giraffe by one of the judges. I will find out 0:00:58.240 --> 0:01:00.680 the game's going on behind the scenes with this year's 0:01:00.680 --> 0:01:04.160 Top twelve and what joke went too far for one contestant. 0:01:04.600 --> 0:01:06.600 You were going to get everything from their thoughts on 0:01:06.640 --> 0:01:10.360 the song choices, how much public interaction they are really getting, 0:01:10.520 --> 0:01:13.000 and we will talk about auto tuning that might be 0:01:13.040 --> 0:01:16.160 happening outside of just Bonnie. There is actually so much 0:01:16.160 --> 0:01:18.920 to talk about, with so many inside revelations on this 0:01:19.000 --> 0:01:21.440 series of Australian Idol. To sit back and relax as 0:01:21.480 --> 0:01:24.920 we unpack the wonderful world of this amazing singing competition, 0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:29.760 which returns this Sunday night on Channel seven. How are you, 0:01:29.800 --> 0:01:30.440 mate me? 0:01:30.560 --> 0:01:32.120 I'm fantastic, My god, how are you? 0:01:32.319 --> 0:01:34.800 I'm very well. You know you just interrupted me because 0:01:34.840 --> 0:01:38.200 I was rewatching your performance from last night. 0:01:38.360 --> 0:01:40.920 I know, yeah, that's a good interruption there, my friend. 0:01:42.200 --> 0:01:43.880 You know how weird it is for me though while 0:01:43.920 --> 0:01:45.840 I'm watching this and how good you are on this 0:01:45.959 --> 0:01:48.360 show and then to hear your voice this is amazing. 0:01:48.640 --> 0:01:50.840 I appreciate you more, brother, Thank you. 0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:53.440 What did you think about getting this far in this 0:01:53.520 --> 0:01:56.000 competition when you signed up? Did you think you would 0:01:56.000 --> 0:01:56.680 make it this far. 0:01:56.960 --> 0:02:00.080 No, to be honest, you didn't think much of it. 0:02:00.080 --> 0:02:02.240 It's like, for real, I mean we made it this 0:02:02.440 --> 0:02:05.120 far off. I don't know made it this far? 0:02:05.280 --> 0:02:08.480 You know you had some hills to climb. My friend 0:02:08.600 --> 0:02:11.800 didn't do well on this show. How did you approach it? 0:02:11.840 --> 0:02:14.280 I mean, did you know much about Australian idol because 0:02:14.320 --> 0:02:15.519 this is in your home country. 0:02:15.760 --> 0:02:17.600 I thought it was a singing contest, to be honest 0:02:17.639 --> 0:02:19.280 with you, and at the time, I just like I 0:02:19.320 --> 0:02:20.720 need more exposure as an artist. 0:02:20.840 --> 0:02:23.079 So I just signed off on a whim, like one night. 0:02:23.080 --> 0:02:25.080 Just because I think we add toll up on Instagram 0:02:25.280 --> 0:02:25.880 just randomly. 0:02:26.000 --> 0:02:27.240 I was like, you know what, I'm gonna sign up 0:02:27.280 --> 0:02:27.560 for it. 0:02:27.639 --> 0:02:27.919 Wow. 0:02:28.120 --> 0:02:30.560 So yeah, was it a shock to go home at 0:02:30.600 --> 0:02:33.080 this point of the competition because I like reading into 0:02:33.320 --> 0:02:35.640 what I think I can see on the TV, and 0:02:35.680 --> 0:02:37.760 I kind of felt like you've got everything you needed 0:02:37.800 --> 0:02:39.280 out of the show. At this point. I felt like 0:02:39.320 --> 0:02:41.320 you could just take what you've been given with this 0:02:41.400 --> 0:02:44.840 exposure and go in a different direction, which is still up. 0:02:44.919 --> 0:02:47.919 Oh we're going international with this direction. But the way 0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.440 I like to see is like, look, I'm a competitor 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:50.840 at heart. 0:02:50.919 --> 0:02:52.680 If you're not first to your last. 0:02:52.320 --> 0:02:55.799 And the opportunities that make you, you make the opportunity, 0:02:56.240 --> 0:02:58.680 you know what I mean, So regardless of work, of 0:02:58.720 --> 0:03:02.440 course I would have loved to opportunity that can make 0:03:02.480 --> 0:03:05.239 the most of you know, coming first, but you get 0:03:05.240 --> 0:03:06.120 what you get. 0:03:06.840 --> 0:03:10.720 The city's going to break, The city is gonna love 0:03:10.800 --> 0:03:14.840 me to leave me alone. The city is gonna be jaesiss. 0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.079 It's been a couple of months as I've got like 0:03:17.160 --> 0:03:24.359 a bold am I getting bossert where the city is 0:03:24.400 --> 0:03:28.480 going to a break, She's always going to break your heart. 0:03:30.520 --> 0:03:33.720 I feel like going with an original song at this 0:03:33.840 --> 0:03:37.080 point might have been what elevated you or kept you 0:03:37.160 --> 0:03:40.680 in the competition. Did you have many conversations about bringing 0:03:40.720 --> 0:03:43.640 in your own music and seeing what that might have done. 0:03:43.640 --> 0:03:45.520 I feel like that's the only thing we've been stolen 0:03:45.600 --> 0:03:46.040 from you. 0:03:46.320 --> 0:03:49.080 I think everyone had the general consensus and we were 0:03:49.120 --> 0:03:51.640 all told we're not saying no to the originals, but 0:03:52.440 --> 0:03:55.080 the chances of you getting it are quite slink is one. 0:03:55.160 --> 0:03:57.720 We do want to also cater to the audience, and 0:03:57.880 --> 0:04:00.440 the audiences most popular songs, and it's easy to get 0:04:00.480 --> 0:04:01.880 behind something familiar. 0:04:02.120 --> 0:04:04.480 Did you feel limited by the choices in music though. 0:04:04.480 --> 0:04:07.680 I mean the music that you were singing was very recognizable, 0:04:07.760 --> 0:04:09.840 and mate, you did such a good job, like it 0:04:09.880 --> 0:04:11.440 was so good every week to see it get up 0:04:11.440 --> 0:04:13.480 there and sing. But I did wonder whether or not 0:04:13.640 --> 0:04:16.000 this was truly the sort of music that you would 0:04:16.000 --> 0:04:19.000 be releasing if you were recording in a studio. 0:04:19.920 --> 0:04:22.200 If you asked me what, maybe four years ago, I'd 0:04:22.240 --> 0:04:25.440 be like, yeah, But as I've discovered myself more as 0:04:25.440 --> 0:04:28.280 an artist, I would say no, you know, but not 0:04:28.400 --> 0:04:31.320 to say that it's not good, you know. I quite 0:04:31.400 --> 0:04:33.880 enjoyed the songs I did, you know, end up performing. 0:04:34.360 --> 0:04:37.400 You know, my biggest inspiration is a Justin Bieber and 0:04:37.440 --> 0:04:39.599 Issuan and I did one of the songs that go 0:04:39.680 --> 0:04:41.600 on together, you know Ala. 0:04:41.320 --> 0:04:43.159 So I guess you know that paid comments to that. 0:04:43.960 --> 0:04:45.320 But na an. 0:04:45.160 --> 0:04:47.600 Opportunity to get out of my comfort zone made me 0:04:47.880 --> 0:04:49.039 feel a bit comfortable. 0:04:49.080 --> 0:04:50.680 I don't know if that makes sense, do you know 0:04:50.680 --> 0:04:51.120 what I mean? 0:04:51.360 --> 0:04:53.240 I hear what you're saying when you're saying, that's the 0:04:53.279 --> 0:04:56.000 sort of music I would have been singing four years ago. Absolutely, 0:04:56.120 --> 0:04:58.359 because I think the way that this show works is 0:04:58.360 --> 0:05:01.000 it's a bit like you know, it's catering to a 0:05:01.040 --> 0:05:03.800 younger audience, songs that everyone would know, kind of like 0:05:03.839 --> 0:05:05.480 what you'd say on like a Disney show. Do you 0:05:05.520 --> 0:05:05.920 know what I mean? 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:06.760 Pretty much? 0:05:06.839 --> 0:05:09.120 Yeah. So then you as an artist now are in 0:05:09.120 --> 0:05:11.400 a different space where I think that for you to 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.839 go and take this music internationally, there needs to be 0:05:15.240 --> 0:05:18.120 the key sound of who you are and you can 0:05:18.200 --> 0:05:20.839 sing without the auto tune. We definitely saw that. Do 0:05:20.920 --> 0:05:23.559 you think if you do go into the recording studio 0:05:23.600 --> 0:05:25.159 at this point it would be a mix of the 0:05:25.240 --> 0:05:28.160 auto tune and just using your own voice, Like, what's 0:05:28.440 --> 0:05:29.719 what's the I look at this point? 0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:32.520 Well, I'll tell you what I think. 0:05:32.520 --> 0:05:34.839 I was get a really fantastic job of confusing people 0:05:34.880 --> 0:05:38.080 of my style of audo tunes. Plus everyone does use 0:05:38.120 --> 0:05:40.520 aoudy tune. It's just I think what they wanted to 0:05:40.560 --> 0:05:42.880 do was be able to at least for the audience. 0:05:42.920 --> 0:05:45.000 It doesn't understand what audi tune is. Turn it up 0:05:45.040 --> 0:05:47.599 to a point where it's like a distorted effect. 0:05:48.440 --> 0:05:51.360 Essentially, it is just an effect. But I use auditude 0:05:51.360 --> 0:05:53.200 in all my tracks, right, you know what I mean? 0:05:53.240 --> 0:05:56.640 It's an industry standard. It's just that I don't use it. 0:05:56.640 --> 0:05:59.720 To the point where it dilute my own vocals, I 0:05:59.800 --> 0:06:02.239 use saying that we're almost trying to take the soul out. 0:06:02.560 --> 0:06:05.880 Are you saying, though, that Australian Idol is using auto 0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:08.800 tune like that? Are you saying all artists are using 0:06:08.839 --> 0:06:09.680 auto tune like that? 0:06:11.000 --> 0:06:14.839 I would say, through my experience, that's how my artistry 0:06:15.400 --> 0:06:17.880 was being used, Okay, through audition like that. 0:06:17.920 --> 0:06:18.960 If that makes sense, you know. 0:06:18.920 --> 0:06:21.400 That makes sense. The interesting thing about this is that 0:06:21.480 --> 0:06:23.520 you are kind of like an artist for this generation. 0:06:23.839 --> 0:06:27.000 Like it sounds to me like and it was for 0:06:27.120 --> 0:06:29.200 me when I was watching you, I could see that 0:06:29.560 --> 0:06:33.640 what you're doing is probably more current at the moment 0:06:33.880 --> 0:06:36.400 than you know, just getting up and straight singing. Do 0:06:36.480 --> 0:06:39.320 you feel like you, in a way brought something more 0:06:39.360 --> 0:06:41.839 current to Australian Idol by bringing this dimension in? 0:06:42.200 --> 0:06:42.400 Yes? 0:06:42.680 --> 0:06:43.000 I would. 0:06:43.040 --> 0:06:46.080 I would say I have brought something more current, Okay, 0:06:46.120 --> 0:06:49.599 because the new sounds, you know, the Travis Scott's and Drakes, 0:06:49.680 --> 0:06:51.880 you know, the one that the kids are really bopping, 0:06:52.120 --> 0:06:54.320 you really use it like that, the little babies, you 0:06:54.360 --> 0:06:57.320 know what I mean, the really big the really big stars. 0:06:57.320 --> 0:06:59.760 You know, you can hear it very prevalent. I don't 0:06:59.760 --> 0:07:03.279 know if he's gotten lazy. Especially in Justin Beers vocals. 0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:05.200 You know, he has a bit, he has it tuned 0:07:05.279 --> 0:07:07.599 up a bit, and if you listen to Chris Brown, 0:07:07.920 --> 0:07:10.720 he pretty much records his order tune on, you know, 0:07:11.240 --> 0:07:12.040 so that's all. 0:07:11.880 --> 0:07:12.600 You kind of get. 0:07:12.840 --> 0:07:15.520 So yes, I would say something that is I did 0:07:15.720 --> 0:07:19.160 bring something that is more familiar. But at the same time, 0:07:19.440 --> 0:07:21.560 it depends how deep you look into it. I've done 0:07:21.560 --> 0:07:23.840 all the I've done the research that I've needed to do, 0:07:23.920 --> 0:07:27.080 and I continue to so I learn more about. 0:07:26.840 --> 0:07:29.680 Which artists you use it. But it's very prevalent, man, 0:07:30.280 --> 0:07:32.760 It's very especially in live shows. Oh my god. 0:07:33.240 --> 0:07:35.480 To be honest, I feel like I bought what the 0:07:35.520 --> 0:07:38.160 standard is right now and at least the you know, 0:07:38.200 --> 0:07:40.640 the R and B hip hop kind of vibe. 0:07:40.480 --> 0:07:42.360 Give couple lot of flak when you're trying to do 0:07:42.440 --> 0:07:44.960 something against the norm. Is that a part of your 0:07:45.040 --> 0:07:50.280 personality to kind of push yourself and go against the majority. 0:07:50.600 --> 0:07:53.160 I don't know if if that's innately what I'm doing 0:07:53.200 --> 0:07:55.840 on purpose, but I do know I do things that 0:07:55.880 --> 0:07:58.960 I enjoy, you know, and if it's like you know, 0:07:59.040 --> 0:08:01.000 for if I can if it's one of my songs 0:08:01.000 --> 0:08:04.559 Big That was the first time I played with auto tune, 0:08:04.600 --> 0:08:07.560 like how they would have it on how they had 0:08:07.560 --> 0:08:09.960 it on Idol, like you know, the reaching people. But 0:08:10.120 --> 0:08:12.920 it was you know, music more tally to me. I 0:08:12.960 --> 0:08:14.280 don't know if that answered the question. 0:08:14.560 --> 0:08:16.200 No, it does in a way, you know. It was 0:08:16.240 --> 0:08:18.880 also kind of beautiful to watch, was the reactions from 0:08:18.920 --> 0:08:21.560 the crowd for you. And then that's the live audience 0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:23.120 and you might have friends that have come along and 0:08:23.120 --> 0:08:26.080 support you and family, But what's been the reaction walking 0:08:26.120 --> 0:08:28.800 down the street, like are you on a primetime TV 0:08:28.880 --> 0:08:30.800 show and everyone's running up to you? Like I'd love 0:08:30.840 --> 0:08:34.360 to know what people are thinking and where Australian idol 0:08:34.400 --> 0:08:35.720 fits into the general public. 0:08:35.800 --> 0:08:39.160 Psychist, Well, I didn't mean to even get recognized as 0:08:39.240 --> 0:08:41.280 much this morning, but I've been recognized last night and 0:08:41.360 --> 0:08:44.280 this morning more sad to see me go I get 0:08:44.559 --> 0:08:48.120 after everything that happened last night, But I don't I 0:08:48.120 --> 0:08:52.280 don't even know why I seem so recognizable, But people 0:08:52.400 --> 0:08:54.680 don't even have to be close Like this morning, I 0:08:54.720 --> 0:08:57.559 think maybe I was fifteen meters and maybe away from 0:08:57.559 --> 0:08:59.000 this van and there's somebody. 0:08:58.720 --> 0:09:01.400 Just plant them like Bonnie, like what I look. 0:09:02.120 --> 0:09:04.000 Maybe that talking about me. 0:09:04.200 --> 0:09:06.240 Maybe they're like me, they've woken up this morning and 0:09:06.240 --> 0:09:09.319 they're just replaying all the songs that you sung throughout. 0:09:09.080 --> 0:09:11.600 The show, hope, so get them Trees of the Back. 0:09:12.720 --> 0:09:14.600 I've been listening to it though, Like I was listening 0:09:14.600 --> 0:09:17.560 to God as a Woman by Ariana run Day, which 0:09:17.600 --> 0:09:18.760 you did right at the stage. 0:09:18.880 --> 0:09:19.800 I enjoyed that one. 0:09:20.000 --> 0:09:22.360 Yeah you were great, Like that was quite amazing. But 0:09:22.400 --> 0:09:25.680 then even the Ed shering bad Habits, what do you mean? Like, 0:09:25.720 --> 0:09:27.880 I love that song by Justin Timberlake. To be honest 0:09:27.880 --> 0:09:30.240 with you, it's one of my favorite. It's probably my 0:09:30.280 --> 0:09:33.199 favorite Justin Bieber's song. But I loved that. Yeah, there's 0:09:33.280 --> 0:09:36.160 the sound that you have, and I think people will 0:09:36.160 --> 0:09:38.640 continue to come back to your versions of these songs 0:09:38.679 --> 0:09:40.960 and listen to it, and you should share it to 0:09:41.040 --> 0:09:43.720 see what Justin Bieber and Ed Sheeron have to say, 0:09:43.840 --> 0:09:44.319 Like I. 0:09:44.240 --> 0:09:45.679 Think, I mean, if I have it post it that 0:09:46.360 --> 0:09:50.280 that'd be super dope, you know. At the same time 0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:54.160 I do I would like to get I get maybe 0:09:54.200 --> 0:09:55.680 your mind frame out. 0:09:55.559 --> 0:09:58.679 Of like the audit to sound okay, because. 0:09:58.520 --> 0:10:01.560 Evidently people are saying, oh, you know you have an 0:10:01.600 --> 0:10:03.880 amazing voice, and I hear it over and over again, and. 0:10:03.840 --> 0:10:05.440 I'm just like, what are they listening to? 0:10:05.440 --> 0:10:08.160 They're listening to my music or they listening to Idle 0:10:08.400 --> 0:10:10.719 And this is after everything, and you know, people are 0:10:10.760 --> 0:10:13.120 even referencing, Hey, listen to his students. If you don't 0:10:13.160 --> 0:10:14.920 think he can have seen I'm not too. 0:10:14.800 --> 0:10:17.120 Sure, Bonnie. I think you go out there, you ring 0:10:17.240 --> 0:10:21.439 Kyle Sandalans today, and you go and drop something original 0:10:21.760 --> 0:10:24.640 into a recording studio that you're willing to have because 0:10:24.720 --> 0:10:26.720 these eyes are on you today. You understand that you 0:10:26.720 --> 0:10:28.560 were standing next to a van and they all point 0:10:28.600 --> 0:10:31.320 at you. You know, that kind of height that comes 0:10:31.360 --> 0:10:34.319 off a show like this is very limited. I think, 0:10:34.480 --> 0:10:37.560 you know, you could be a winner of this show, 0:10:37.880 --> 0:10:39.760 and it's still going to be limited. But if you 0:10:39.840 --> 0:10:42.720 give people while the eyes are on you something to digest, 0:10:42.800 --> 0:10:46.520 something tangible, I think, yeah, that's what that is where 0:10:46.559 --> 0:10:48.360 you go from this at this point? 0:10:48.480 --> 0:10:51.439 And I look, if I could have been in Kyle's 0:10:51.440 --> 0:10:55.280 studio last night after the work, after the show there, 0:10:55.559 --> 0:10:57.960 he would have let you all, I could do the. 0:10:57.800 --> 0:11:00.160 Things that I don't have a contacts. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:02.280 Anything you want to add before, Bonnie Lee's the Art 0:11:02.400 --> 0:11:03.679 States for the last time. 0:11:03.840 --> 0:11:07.240 Yeah, you're my top thirty wild card. I'm so glad 0:11:07.320 --> 0:11:10.360 we brought you back. You're a real vibe, You're real energy. 0:11:10.440 --> 0:11:12.480 And if I own a recording studio, if you want 0:11:12.480 --> 0:11:13.360 to use it, it's free. 0:11:13.440 --> 0:11:18.240 Twenty four seven. I appreciate that. Thank you. 0:11:19.440 --> 0:11:23.040 Give him a call today because I mean, Kyle is amazing. 0:11:23.080 --> 0:11:24.440 I think he gets a lot of flak in this 0:11:24.520 --> 0:11:27.680 industry for his personality. I think along of it's mister, 0:11:27.840 --> 0:11:30.240 A lot of it's misdirected at the moment, but he 0:11:30.320 --> 0:11:33.080 has always been very supportive of me, very supportive of 0:11:33.160 --> 0:11:35.720 Ricky Lee and plenty of people in the Idol family. 0:11:35.920 --> 0:11:38.760 If I can put up plainly, if someone can see 0:11:38.760 --> 0:11:42.120 something in me that I give him my respect, you know, 0:11:42.320 --> 0:11:44.840 because I've been doing this. I wouldn't say for quite 0:11:44.840 --> 0:11:46.320 some time, but I've been doing this for some time, 0:11:46.360 --> 0:11:49.800 and you know, no one really back an iron. I 0:11:50.200 --> 0:11:53.160 stick with people that when they first meet me and 0:11:53.200 --> 0:11:54.280 they see potential. 0:11:54.720 --> 0:11:56.600 That's another level of way. 0:11:56.640 --> 0:11:58.240 I don't know. I don't even know how to explain 0:11:58.240 --> 0:12:00.320 the gratitude that I have for him. This is even 0:12:00.360 --> 0:12:04.959 before he offered his studios to recording, Like I already 0:12:05.160 --> 0:12:09.319 had a high regard of him because she saw something 0:12:09.320 --> 0:12:11.880 in me that's other people didn't. He's probably going to 0:12:12.000 --> 0:12:14.720 keep getting Black cops to him because of, you know, 0:12:14.760 --> 0:12:17.480 the decision he made, because yeah, they're still on him. 0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:18.360 I'm like, what the fuck? 0:12:18.480 --> 0:12:19.160 Like show out. 0:12:19.679 --> 0:12:21.599 He knows what he's doing though, you know, Bonnie, he 0:12:21.679 --> 0:12:25.680 knows what he's doing. He is in music studios, you know, 0:12:25.880 --> 0:12:28.920 and supporting artists and has been doing so, has been 0:12:28.960 --> 0:12:31.360 doing that for decades. Like and I guess that's one 0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.120 of the things I really do appreciate it about him, 0:12:34.360 --> 0:12:36.920 is his sincerity. As a judge on this show, did 0:12:36.920 --> 0:12:39.760 you feel that sincerity from the judging panel? 0:12:40.040 --> 0:12:43.600 I don't. I don't know, because I'll be honest with you, 0:12:43.720 --> 0:12:45.600 there's been a lot of whiskers. 0:12:45.720 --> 0:12:47.000 You know, I'm very naive to. 0:12:46.960 --> 0:12:49.760 Me my first time doing something like this, and they've 0:12:49.760 --> 0:12:52.319 got there's whiskers you here because people have done this before, 0:12:52.360 --> 0:12:55.360 and yeah, and that had made me believe, you know that, 0:12:55.480 --> 0:12:57.640 like I don't know, when they're on camera, can you 0:12:57.720 --> 0:13:00.880 really believe what they say? But that even knowing that 0:13:01.040 --> 0:13:03.800 had never really changed how I felt about him from 0:13:03.800 --> 0:13:06.839 our first experience, and you know how I'm just like, well, 0:13:07.280 --> 0:13:09.920 you know, he's still seeing something in me that other 0:13:09.960 --> 0:13:12.719 people didn't, you know, to bring me back. And I 0:13:12.760 --> 0:13:14.120 don't know how much of that as a part of 0:13:14.160 --> 0:13:16.480 the show, how much of that was him, he was 0:13:16.520 --> 0:13:17.679 still there. You know that. 0:13:17.840 --> 0:13:19.360 That really doesn't mean a lot to me. 0:13:19.440 --> 0:13:19.600 Man. 0:13:19.840 --> 0:13:22.440 I don't know how to show gratitude or whatever it is, 0:13:22.520 --> 0:13:25.439 but I will. I will in ten foles. He'll see 0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:26.000 it for sure. 0:13:26.160 --> 0:13:29.040 And I think there is an ability to live up 0:13:29.080 --> 0:13:32.160 to being a television judge, and then there's living up 0:13:32.200 --> 0:13:35.679 to being a mental you know, in someone's career. And 0:13:35.800 --> 0:13:39.280 however that transcends, we'll probably see with you because you 0:13:39.360 --> 0:13:42.079 do need that support right now. And if that happened 0:13:42.080 --> 0:13:44.440 to that, yeah, before you go, I have to ask 0:13:44.480 --> 0:13:46.600 you very quickly, how did you get along with the 0:13:46.600 --> 0:13:49.200 topeve welve? Did you get along with the Top twelve? Well? 0:13:49.520 --> 0:13:50.920 Oh, man, fantastically. 0:13:51.000 --> 0:13:51.200 Man. 0:13:51.280 --> 0:13:54.880 These these are people that one day when I'm touring 0:13:54.920 --> 0:13:56.880 Big There two and Big two Men and we just 0:13:57.040 --> 0:13:59.520 mix shows like these These are people. 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:01.319 But I look forward to. 0:14:01.320 --> 0:14:04.040 More the drinks off of the shows with because they're 0:14:04.080 --> 0:14:07.200 just the best people to talk to. Biggest hearts, best smile, 0:14:07.400 --> 0:14:10.920 best advice. And I didn't realize till last night what 0:14:11.120 --> 0:14:13.560 I had been yearning for for years was looking for 0:14:13.640 --> 0:14:16.320 fellowship within the music industry because I never had that 0:14:16.360 --> 0:14:19.000 in prison, so small, and last night just made me 0:14:19.040 --> 0:14:21.760 realize that because the top twelve haven't been roadly just 0:14:21.800 --> 0:14:23.760 the top twelve, man, you know what I mean, people 0:14:23.800 --> 0:14:26.080 from the top thirty, you know, like. 0:14:26.600 --> 0:14:29.440 Yeah, it's wild. I ask everyone about it, you know, 0:14:29.480 --> 0:14:31.440 like a behind the scenes sort of question, you know, 0:14:31.520 --> 0:14:33.680 to finish off my chat with everyone. And I was 0:14:33.720 --> 0:14:35.800 wondering whether or not from behind the scenes you could 0:14:35.800 --> 0:14:38.040 tell me who's your ride or die, Like as in, 0:14:38.120 --> 0:14:40.040 who out of the top twelve have you been hanging 0:14:40.040 --> 0:14:42.400 out with that you can see yourself still being friends 0:14:42.400 --> 0:14:44.080 with in say ten years. 0:14:44.320 --> 0:14:47.560 Oh right, Diet, I'll be honest with you, John. I 0:14:47.640 --> 0:14:48.560 love that kid. Man. 0:14:48.800 --> 0:14:52.320 He's such a good kid, big heart, biggest smile. I 0:14:52.480 --> 0:14:55.040 just I don't know, you know, he's got the charism, 0:14:55.080 --> 0:14:55.920 he's got the swag. 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:56.160 Guy. 0:14:56.280 --> 0:14:59.040 You know, we just found itself easy to get along. 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.800 Like cracking Joe, Yeah, like he's it's just the cood an. 0:15:02.920 --> 0:15:07.400 Same with William, Like, oh, man, yeah, i'd say William 0:15:07.440 --> 0:15:08.040 and John. 0:15:08.320 --> 0:15:09.920 I mean, it must have been hard to be standing 0:15:09.920 --> 0:15:12.320 there with John, you know, in that in those final 0:15:12.400 --> 0:15:14.400 save me moments, you know what I mean, Like you 0:15:14.520 --> 0:15:17.400 want to be supportive of your you know of the 0:15:17.400 --> 0:15:19.160 other people that are still left there, and you still 0:15:19.160 --> 0:15:21.160 want to route for yourself. So it's a it's an 0:15:21.200 --> 0:15:22.400 awkward situation to be in. 0:15:22.680 --> 0:15:24.600 Yeah, it definitely is. 0:15:24.640 --> 0:15:27.200 And maybe this is my ego talking, but I think 0:15:27.480 --> 0:15:30.360 I'm probably more capable at this stage to do what 0:15:30.400 --> 0:15:33.280 I need to do than he probably is being a bit. 0:15:33.200 --> 0:15:35.360 Young, and I think that's being arrogant at all. I 0:15:35.360 --> 0:15:39.280 think that has been very realistic about the trajectory that 0:15:39.320 --> 0:15:40.920 I think both of you will need to go on 0:15:41.000 --> 0:15:44.440 to make yourselves be successful and in this industry. And 0:15:44.680 --> 0:15:47.000 there's a lot right here right now for you. I 0:15:47.080 --> 0:15:49.600 genuinely believe that where I can see for him, you know, 0:15:49.640 --> 0:15:51.880 there's still some work to be done before he could 0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.200 penetrate charts and and be top of mind amongst studio executives. 0:15:56.200 --> 0:15:58.480 Do you know what I mean? He's cute, but you 0:15:58.560 --> 0:16:01.680 know what I mean, can congratulations on making it to 0:16:01.720 --> 0:16:04.680 the top twelve. I've thoroughly enjoyed watching you week after 0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.480 week and I can't wait to see what happens next few. 0:16:07.520 --> 0:16:08.400 I'm in your audience. 0:16:08.600 --> 0:16:10.560 I'm telling you, bro, you've got to keep your eyes open. 0:16:10.640 --> 0:16:11.720 It's going to happen real quick. 0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.720 Oh, I'm doing it. I'm doing it. What a fantastic 0:16:15.800 --> 0:16:18.240 chat I'm going to say with Bonnie and some great 0:16:18.280 --> 0:16:20.920 insights there. Now we are going to unpack the Australian 0:16:21.000 --> 0:16:24.080 Idol journey with Hannah, who I'm sure will also have 0:16:24.280 --> 0:16:25.840 some pretty interesting tales to tell. 0:16:26.520 --> 0:16:26.680 Hi. 0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:27.960 Hannah, how are you good? 0:16:28.040 --> 0:16:28.520 How are you? 0:16:29.040 --> 0:16:31.000 I'm doing very well. Did you manage to get any 0:16:31.040 --> 0:16:34.080 sleep last night? Or as adrenaline still running through your bones? 0:16:34.720 --> 0:16:37.640 Look, I got some sleep, but I just realized as 0:16:37.640 --> 0:16:39.520 I walked out that I was wearing my pants backwards, 0:16:39.520 --> 0:16:40.680 so clearly not quality. 0:16:40.840 --> 0:16:43.200 Where did you go with your pants on backwards. 0:16:43.200 --> 0:16:45.960 Just to cross the road? Lucky there's no one around me? 0:16:46.280 --> 0:16:48.400 Yeah right, okay. Did you go to get a coffee 0:16:48.400 --> 0:16:49.880 and you've got your pants on backwards? It's a great 0:16:49.880 --> 0:16:50.640 way to start the day. 0:16:50.840 --> 0:16:53.680 Yeah, it's not noticeable, and I couldn't notice it until 0:16:53.680 --> 0:16:55.320 I try to put my hands in my pockets and 0:16:55.520 --> 0:16:56.880 nothing quite working properly. 0:16:57.160 --> 0:16:58.800
