('SAILING' BY ROD STEWART PLAYING)
DAVID: Where is he?
ALESHA: Where is Shane?
KATE: I didn't think he'd be the one we'd be waiting for.
I thought he'd be... Who do you think it would be?
You. Why?
You think I am the diva?
Well, that's what I'd heard.
('THE FOUR SEASONS - SPRING' BY ANTONI VIVALDI PLAYING)
Hello! Oh, it's Ricki!
Hi, guys!
RICKI-LEE: You look fabulous.
I'm going to take you girls to auditions.
What about David?
Shane-- I'm a lady.
I made a living out of that.
So, let me on the boat.
David, I think Shane's got something special planned for you.
Oh, more special than this?
('TIMBER' BY PITBULL PLAYING)
By David! Bye!
KATE: We'll see you soon!

Bye!
Cheers!

You worked really hard, and you got your result.

Oh, no.

Mr Walliams.
It doesn't look very comfortable.
Ha, ha. Yeah, baby!
Faster!
Oh my goodness! Hi!
You snooze, you loose!
(SHANE LAUGHING)
David looked like he's enjoying it.
Told you it was quicker.
They'll be so jealous of us.
As they're eating their canapes, popping their champagne,
and having their nails done.
Cheers to the auditions. Yes.
Hello.
Stage is yours, two minutes to change your life.
RICKI-LEE: They're going to love you.
(SINGING) # Change my life, and all my goals. #
(BUZZING) Yeah, smash it!
Smash it.
What a thrill. Oh my gosh.
That was unbelievable.
SIENNA: This is the biggest stage I've performed on.
I'm really hoping to impress the judges.
For me, this is more than an act.

ANNOUNCER: The host of AGT, Ricki-Lee!
Shall we bring out your Australia's Got Talent judges?
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Shane Jacobson!
Alesha Dixon!
Kate Ritchie!
And David Walliams!
Alright, and should we all get this party started?
Judges, take your seats, everybody.
You feeling alright?
Kate, you haven't given your golden buzzer yet.
No, but I dreamt about it last night.
Really?
Having not done it before,
then emotion is the only thing I can really be driven by.
Of course, this is my first time at this desk as well,
which I'm very excited about.
And you're doing an amazing job.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Alright, you guys want to see some talent?
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Make some noise!
Alright, let's get this party started.
BOTH: Hello.
My name is Fadi Ramadhani.
My name is Ibrahim.
And together we are...
BOTH: The Ramadhani Brothers.
FADI: We are from Tanzania, East Africa.
We practice acrobating eight hours a day,
six times a week.
Building up our talent
and helping each other in life as well.
Being on "Australia's Got Talent" is a huge opportunity
for us to expose our talent.
Because in Africa there are not many opportunities.
This is our first time to be in Australia.
Today, we're going to perform hand-to-hand acrobatics.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
My name is Winston.
I'm the acrobatic trainer of the Ramadhani Brothers,
we've been together now, almost, like, 17, 18 years.
Most importantly is to get to the final
and expose the talent that the boys have.
This is our first time being on television.
First time performing on a TV show?
First time ever. Wow.
And we hope our Australian audience will love us.
They're ready for you. Are you ready?
(SHOUTING IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Hello, hello, hello.
Hello. How are you?
We super good, thank you.
You're super good?
So, what's the name of your group?
BOTH: We are the Ramadhani Brothers.
We're from East Africa.
Tanzania, Dar es Salaam.
I've been to Tanzania!
Have you been to Tanzania?
I've been to Mount Kilimanjaro, there.
Wow. Did you have a good experience there?
I had an amazing experience. I got to meet some amazing people.
Here we are. We bring a live show from Tanzania.
Fantastic. So, what brings you to Australia? Why AGT?
Here on Australia's Got Talent, is our first TV show in our life.
Oh, wow.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
So, tell me,
what would winning $100,000 mean to you, guys?
Um, we have a school in Africa,
where very young artists stay.
So, we would like to help them,
because they are also dreaming
to be one of the best performer around the world.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Thank you. Thank you.
Well, thank you so much for choosing AGT.
Two minutes can change your life.
The stage is yours. Go for it, guys. Thank so much.
Good luck. Thank you very much.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING CONTINUES)
(GASPS)
(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE)
They're not going back up the stairs.
No, he can't!
They deserve to win the whole show if he goes back up the stairs.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
(AUDIENCE GASPING)
ALESHA: No!
Oh!
This is ridiculous.
AUDIENCE: Oh!
(SHRIEKS)
How's he even doing that?

This is first TV show you guys have done?
Yes.
Oh, well, congratulations, Australia.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Come on!
I don't even...
I can't even string a sentence together
because I have never...
I've never seen anything like it ever in my life.
That was just absolutely...
absolutely incredible to the point, where I almost want to cry.
Because I'm, like, "You guys are so talented".
I'm trying not to swear, you're so great.
(ALL LAUGHING)
You're going to go on a lot of shows
around the world
for the rest of your life.
Thank you.
Can you tell everyone
you did "Australia's Got Talent" first?
Yes! Absolutely!
Give us that.
This is our footsteps start from here.
Well, tonight a legend was born, I think, in this act,
with these two amazing performers.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
I live for moments like this on this show.
You remind me why I love this show so much.
So, I'm kicking this off with your very first, 'Yes'!
Alright, here we go. First 'yes'.
Can I go next? Of course, Shane.
YES! (AUDIENCE CHEERING)

(MANIACAL LAUGH)
(BUZZER)
ALLAN: It's fairly physical. Requires a bit of balance.
(AUDIENCE GASPING)
You just made the world a better place.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
It was absolutely stunning. One of those really 'Wow' moments.
(SHRIEKING) Oh!
(ENGINE REVVING)
I'm a freestyle king. That's what we do.
SHANE: Oh! RICKI-LEE: Wow!
LORRAINE: Our choir is made up of the most beautiful people
you could ever put together.
And that is so powerful!
DAVID: I don't think anyone will ever forget seeing you dance,
because it's going to be imprinted on their heart.
This is the biggest stage, I've performed on.
I'm really hoping to impress the judges.
I guess I'm just singing this to my family.
So, yeah, it's for them.
(SUSTAINS NOTE)
SHANE: Can I still juggle?
You can do it... No, I can't.
(LAUGHS)
Hi, baby. Hi, you alright?
Aw, come and say 'Hi' to everyone.
Hi!
You know, I'm so proud of you?
BOTH: Thank you, Dad.
I'm so proud of you either way, yeah?
You like Australia?
Yeah.
That's the right answer.
Leave me alone. (LAUGHS)
Don't mess up my hair.
No, I know.
So proud of you.
Yeah, smash it!
Smash it, woo!
Does Mummy have a buzzer at home?
Is that how she gets you to do the things she wants you to do?
It's kind of broken, Mum.
Yes, I pressed it so much.
(LAUGHTER)
You're made for, Sienna, you are made for this.
Nerves are good, yeah? Nerves are good.
# Everybody's looking for something. #
My name is Sienna Katelyn, I'm 11 years old,
and I'm going to be singing today.
Can you believe you're finally here?
I know, it's so surreal.
But I'm really excited to see David.
Me and my dad started singing when I was about... A little baby.
But, like, I really started getting serious about it
when I was about seven years old.
My name is Sienna.
Today, I'll be singing, 'Kumbaya'. And, let's get started.
(SINGING) # Kumbaya my Lord, kumbaya. #
When I was young, I was really shy, and I wasn't really that confident.
I would go to my room,
and I would, like, record myself singing.
(SINGING)
We'd ask if she'd actually sing in front of us,
and she was so shy and she'd totally refuse to do it.
So, we got her to a stage where'd she face the wall and sing.
I'm so nervous.
You don't need... Nerves are good.
So, we'd start to pay her. (LAUGHS)
You know, just to her to face the right way and sing.
RICKI-LEE: You sung it so many times you know what you're doing.
You just have to focus.
(SIGHS)
You feel nervous at all, at any point, you've got...
You'll have your dad on stage with you,
and you can just look at him.
You know he's got he.
And you can look over at us, and you look me deep in the eyes,
and I'll send you all of my love.
OK?
SIENNA: This is the biggest stage I've performed on.
I'm really hoping to impress the judges.
Good luck. You're going to be amazing.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Do I walk on?
Yeah, away you go.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
ALESHA: Hello, darling.
Hi.
What's your name?
My name is Sienna Katelyn.
Sienna Katelyn . That's lovely. My daughter's middle name's Sienna.
I love that name. How old are you?
I'm 11.
So, what's brought you to "Australia's Got Talent" today?
Well, I really just wanted to share my voice with the world,
and to make everybody happy.
So, who do you look up to? Who inspires you?
Um, my family,
and my parents.
And have you brought any of them with you today?
Yeah, my family, my mum, my sister, and my dad...
He's actually going to be accompanying me tonight.
Your dad's going to be joining you? Yeah.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) Hi, Dad.
SHANE: Hey. Hi, everyone.
How long have you guys been performing together?
I thought you were going to say,
"How long have you guys known each other?"
(LAUGHTER)
Um, probably four, five years now.
And is this the biggest stage
that both of you have performed on together?
Most definitely. Yes, most definitely.
And what do you do normally?
I've got a boring day job but I love to play music.
What's your boring day job?
Oh, I work in superannuation.
God, that is boring!
(LAUGHTER)
So, what would it mean to you both to win this show?
I think for Sienna,
it's going to be a huge boost to her career.
She wants to be a popstar.
You don't want her to go into superannuation?
(LAUGHTER)
Definitely not. OK.
Well, we really hope this audition goes well for you guys.
What is the song, and why did you choose it?
This song is, "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys.
Um, I guess I'm just singing this to my family,
because of the words, "If I Ain't Got You".
So, yeah, it's for them.
Well, look, take a deep breath,
enjoy this moment,
we're on your side.
$90,000 in prize money, 10,000 in super.
Stop it, Shane.
(LAUGHTER)
Good luck. Go for it.
Thank you.

David, what did you think?
Well, I hope they're happy tears.
Are they happy tears? Yes.
They should be happy tears
'cause that couldn't have gone any better.
It was amazing.
You have a really beautiful voice,
and you know, when you took the mic out of the stand
and sorted of strutted around, you really were like a popstar.
Thank you so much.
I adored it, I adored you,
and I can't wait to see what you're going to do next.
I just want to say it means a lot coming from you, David Walliams.
I read all your books.
You're the only author I really read.
Well... let's not talk about me any longer.
(LAUGHTER)
Kate, what did you think?
Sienna, that was incredible.
It was beautiful.
I hope you are proud of yourself.
Well done, girlfriend.
It was great. Yeah. Thank you so much.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
SHANE: Sienna, you know you are made to do this, yeah?
I know your dream is to be a popstar,
but you know I reckon you could be?
Just be you, 'cause that's going to be more than enough.
You be Sienna and see where it takes you.
Well done, it's beautiful. (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Thank you so much.
I cannot believe the maturity in your voice.
For such a little angel, honestly, it was beautiful.
I loved it, very much.
I loved you, and I'm proud to give you your first, 'Yes'.
(CHEERING) Thank you.
You've got two yeses, Sienna.
Kate?
Three yeses. David?
Well, it's not just us, I think it's the audience too.
So, you've got 1,004 yeses.
(CHEERING) RICKI-LEE: Yeah!
('ROAR' BY KATY PERRY PLAYING)
Thank you so much.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING CONTINUES)
You did it! You did it!
I wondered if Ricki was going to golden buzzer her?
Oh, yeah.
RICKI-LEE: You were amazing.
Congratulations, you deserve it. Thank you.
('GROOVE IS IN THE HEART' BY DEEE-LITE PLAYING)
My name's Allan Reinikka, I'm 61, videographer from Rockhampton.
I used to have a passion for racing rally cars
and motorsport and that sort of thing.
But I finally found this new passion,
which I'll be performing for you tonight.
My act's fairly physical.
Requires a little bit of balance
and a lot of determination.
How old are you? Sixty-one.
Sixty-one, and... Yeah.
Keep going. Still going.
Yeah, keep going.
Starting something new a bit later in life, like 50,
has its challenges,
the body doesn't recover quite as quick as it used to.
You certainly know you're doing new things.
I've vamped up the training for tonight's performance,
and the body's a little more battered and bruised than normal.
I just want to show people that it doesn't matter
how old you are, what you look like,
if your male or female,
get out and have a go,
you'll surprise yourself and everybody else
just what you can do.
(CHEERING)
ALESHA: I think this could be for you, this next one.
KATE: What is that?
It's pole dancing.
KATE: Oh, is it, Shane?
This act alone could be the main reason
you flew all the way to Australia.
SHANE: A pole dancer won AGT the last time we did it.
Really?
# My darling, I... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
# Can't get enough of your love, babe
# Girl, I don't know why, I don't know why

Now, uh, what is your name?
Where are you from, what's the name of that planet,
and how old are you?
My name's Allan Reinikka, I'm from Rock Hampton,
and I'm 61.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
So, I'm going to be honest, and say, um...
you kind of weren't what I was expecting when I saw...
(LAUGHS) ..um, the pole out the back.
Are you going to snap that pole in two,
or are you going to dance on it?
Bit of both.
(LAUGHTER)
I'll make it bend a little.
Yeah. How long have you been doing this?
Um, about ten years or so.
Mate, I should let you do what you've come here to do, mate.
Good luck.
OK. Thanks a lot.

(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE)
Oh, that has brought me, and Australia, so much joy.
You know, mate, one of the things I hate about the planet, sometimes,
is preconceived ideas.
I tap danced at school, and I got teased for it.
And it's all about doing something
that other people, apparently, think you shouldn't do.
But that, of course,
is the most ridiculous concept on Earth.
Do you enjoy doing that for an audience,
because you must know, people don't expect this from you.
Yeah, it's always fun to watch their reaction.
(LAUGHTER)
I haven't seen you this excited over an act.
I mean, come on.
It was very impressive.
You have incredible upper body strength.
Yeah.
And, this is not something you see every day.
People have preconceived ideas,
and you just throw all that out the window.
Good for you. Well done. Thanks.

SHANE: Kate, what did you think of that?
Allan, I think you're great.
I want to come and see a show, and have you tell me a few yarns.
You've delighted the crowd, you've delighted the four of us.
Thank you so much for coming along tonight,
bringing that pole with you.
(LAUGHTER) Thank you.
SHANE: David?
Allan, that was highly erotic.
(LAUGHTER)
Um, it's wonderful.
It's wonderful to see someone with a passion.
And it is very entertaining to watch,
because you are actually brilliant at it.
Where do you start if you want to do that?
Because I'd quite like to get a pole at home
and sort of follow in your footsteps.

and work your way up.
Can you show me how to do a couple?

you can see that we have a really good relationship,
that there's something between us.

No, no, no, no. No, I didn't.
Because I really enjoyed it,
there was something strangely erotic about it.
Well, nothing "Strangely". It was just erotic.
I think I didn't stand,

# Tonight you're singing with the choir
# Now, you're dancing with the crew
# You ain't doing this solo... #
CHOIR: Woo!
# We all ridin' with you... #
I'm on the edge.
I'm likely to cry today.
KAT: The wonderful thing about the choir
is that anybody can be a part of it.
Sometimes it's inpatients
that are up in the wards of the hospital
that wish, perhaps, to escape their room for an hour
and do something that will bring a bit of joy.
Staff on their lunchbreaks.
(LAUGHTER)
It's just a beautiful group of people
that have come together to find joy and love in music.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Good luck, ladies. Enjoy.
Wow, there's a lot of people out there.
Hello, welcome to "Australia's Got Talent"".
Thank you.
What do we have here today?
Well, I'm here representing this unique choir
and this unique hospital.
The hospital is the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse.
My husband was Chris O'Brien.
He was a surgeon, he was visionary
who wanted to create a centre of excellence
for cancer patients in Australia.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(LAUGHS)
Tragically, he was diagnosed with brain cancer himself.
He died 2.5 years later.
So, he never saw it open in this hospital.
We have a choir full of people who are grieving,
and the message that we want to bring
is, suffering changes you,
suffering brings out the best in you.
We're not defeated,
and I think that we'll show you that today.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Would you like to introduce us to the ladies standing beside you?
Um, beside me is Adele, and this is her mum, Lorraine.
I'm Lorraine's daughter, and I sing with my mum in the choir.
And the choir is fantastic for mum, I'm so proud of her being in it,
and I love singing next to her as well.
# On we march
# With a midnight song
# We will light our way... #
LORRAINE: Because of the cancer that I have,
we haven't got a long time.
It's already taken, and will take so much away.
(SOBS SOFTLY) So...
It's about... It's about letting it go...
and just being, and everything will be alright.
# It's been calling out to me
# That is where I should be... #.
Our choir...
is made up of the most beautiful people
you could ever put together.
And if we can't sing,
because of the treatment that we're having,
they'll sing for us.
Just two weeks ago, a woman came in with her bag...
and she was about to have surgery.
And she said, "Oh, I just had to stop,
I love this song!"
And we were able... She sang with us,
and we were able to send her off with just all our love,
and support, and care.
We know what's happening on the wards.
Letting people know they're not alone.
That we're with them.
(APPLAUSE)
KATE: Well, I hope you can feel the warmth and the love already,
coming from this audience.
We are looking forward to this performance, so much.
Enjoy it.

(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE)
Wow.
Um, well thank you so much
for such a beautiful performance.
It was so nice to see you all united,
up there, and filling the room with joy,
even though we know that there are hardships
behind all of this.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
It was beautiful.
(CHUCKLES)
What do you think, Alesha?
Oh my goodness. Where do I even begin with you guys?
I admire you all so much, I was deeply moved by your singing.
There is so much healing within it,
and for me, this is more than an act.
You know, this is a movement, you're a family.
You know, under these circumstances,
to lift the spirit of the room and each other,
we can see how much it means to all of you.
And that is so powerful.
I loved it. Wonderful.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
As we know,
we have to leave it up to the scientists, and the doctors,
and the surgeons to cure illnesses.
But, the only we've always known
is it just takes a kind word from a loved one,
or a beautiful song like that to cure a broken heart
and to, kind of, mend a frown.
And so, you did that wonderfully.
So, thank you so much. It was beautiful.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Well, you know, all of us, at some point in our lives,
are affected by this disease.
And, you know, this amazing choir
is something that anybody facing this
would love to be part of,
because it's all about helping each other,
being there for each other,
and offering this very optimistic message,
which is fantastic.
It was really, really moving. Really, really beautiful.
And it's a great pleasure to give you your first 'Yes'.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
And it's a 'Yes' from me.
You're just amazing, and it's a 'Yes' from me.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
You've got four yeses.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
('YOU SAY' BY LAUREN DAIGLE PLAYING)
CHOIR MEMBERS: Woo!
I just realised,
there was one 'Yes' you were missing.
One, two three...

# Oh, you say I am Yours
# And I believe
# Oh, I believe

Best sound in the world.
PAT: Do I continue down this path
of the thing that, essentially, killed my dad?
I'm going to be flying about 12, 13 metres in the air.
JOHN: Where you doing to dance from?
In my body and my hands.
DAVID: I don't think anyone will ever forget seeing you dance.
It's going to be imprinted on their hearts.
The stage is yours. Two minutes to change your life.

# Yo, my name is Slim Shady. #
I'm Al Pacino.
What's going on, guys? It's Dave Hughes.
(BUZZERS)
I don't know what to say.
What? Did not expect that at all.
Did not expect that at all. No.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Hello.
Something's not right.
(AUDIENCE CHATTERING)
Argh! That's the back screen!
Hello.
Um, so what's your name.
My name is Dylan Todd.
I do impersonations.
# Things that make you go hmmm... #
The stage is yours. Two minutes to change your life.
(MANIACAL LAUGHTER)
(BUZZER)
(AS EMINEM) Yo, my name is Slim Shady.
(BUZZER)
You better watch out because I know how to rap.
(BUZZER)
AUDIENCE: Aww.
You know, it was bad,
but entertaining, all at the same time.
# Things that make you go hmmm
# Things that make you go hmmm... #
I'm Travis Cole, 37 years old, and I'm a teacher from Melbourne.
I discovered I could do impersonations
from singing, you know, in the shower.
(AS ELVIS PRESLEY) # Wise men say
# Only fools rush in. # (BUZZER)
(AS JAMES BLUNT) # You touch my heart

(AS JOE COCKER) # Unchain my heart. #

# Things that make you go hmmmm... #
I'd be worried for your students.
(LAUGHTER)
Was your objective just to find the world's worst songs
that made no sense to anyone on the panel?
Thank you every body!
(CHEERING)
Hey, my name's David.
I'm 35, I'm from the central coast
and I will be doing impressions today.
Nicolas Cage.
(AS NIC CAGE) Hi, I'm Nic Cage.
(BUZZER)
We've got lights, we've got camera.
(BUZZER) We've got bitching technology!
(LAUGHTER)
(NORMAL VOICE) Last but not least, Al Pacino.
(AS AL PACINO) I'm Al Pacino.
(BUZZER)
And uh...
As I look round at the audience, there was this collective...
Today wasn't the day for you. I'm sorry, it's a 'No' from me.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
I thought when he said, "I'm Al Pacino".
No, you're not.
# Things that make you go, hmmmm. #
My name is Elliot Loney.
I'm a comedian and a tennis couch
and I'm from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
("HOWLIN' FOR YOU" BY THE BLACK KEYS PLAYING)
I grew up as an only child,
so I was pretty weird straight up the gate, mate.
(AS PETER GRIFFIN) Hi, Quagmire.
(LAUGHS AS PETER)
So, I do like a lot of impersonations
of schools teachers, and friends, and stuff growing up.
I was the class clown at school.
It's just a way for me to break the ice.
There were a few years there where I was a little bit lost.
I worked as a personal trainer for a year,
I studied media,
I was even a male stripper for a brief period there.
Retired, hung up the G-string, um...
(LAUGHS)
I'm going to do some impersonations and some stand-up comedy.
Stepping on stage for the first time on this show...
literally terrifies me.
(BUZZER)
AUDIENCE: Aww!
I hate being judged,
and I've literally got four judges right in front of my nose.
So, it's very scary.
Have you performed for a crowd like this before?
I have. I have once before. OK.
And it didn't go down so well,
so hopefully this is going...
OK, OK, OK, OK. ..to go better.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
That's for you. Oh, that's me.
Thanks, Ricki. Have fun.
Yeah.
("HOWLIN' FOR YOU" BY THE BLACK KEYS CONTINUES PLAYING)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Hello, and who do we have here?
G'day, guys. My name is Elliot Loney.
I'm from Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
What are you going to be doing for us here today?
Ah, well, I do stand up comedy and impersonations.
So, today, I'm going to be doing a combination of both.
Alright. Well, let's see.
Alright, no worries.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(AUDIENCE CHUCKLING)
(AS DAVE HUGHES) What's going on, guys?
It's Dave Hughes.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING AND CHEERING)
And I used to host this show and Ricki-Lee stole my job.
(LAUGHS)
Ricki-Lee, two first names, bit greedy.
Did you steal one of those as well?
(LAUGHTER)
I'm angry.
I thought I was this show's trump card.
(AS DONALD TRUMP) Did someone say my name?
I can't stay long,
because Melania's double parked in a disabled spot out front,
but I will say this...
I'm in Australia,
they're actually making a movie about my life,
and one of your local celebrities is set to play me.
I've never heard of him, perhaps you've heard of him...
Clive Palmer?
(LAUGHTER)
But my first preference would have been Matthew McConaughey.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(WHISTLING THROUGH TEETH)
(AS MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY) Sir.
Ladies and gentlemen, thank you, Mr Presidente.
My name is Matthew McConaughey.
And at this point, I'm looking for four yeses from the judges.
But I'd settle for an 'Alright', 'Alright', 'Alright', 'Alright'.
(LAUGHTER)
He's good.
In these days of enlightenment,
I would never take my shirt off without the permission of the crowd.
(LAUGHTER AND CHEERING)
Moments of goodness like this,
I turn to my faithful mentor, Mr Morgan Freeman.
(AS MORGAN FREEMAN) Oh, Mr McConaughey.
(LAUGHTER)
Overexposing yourself again.
Now, over-exposure is not always a bad thing.
Just ask Shane Jacobson.
I mean, really,
is there any Australian show that he has not been in?
He does everything!
If the entertainment industry is survival of the fittest,
then what in God's name is Shane doing here?
(LAUGHTER)
(AS DAVID ATTENBOROUGH) I believe David Attenborough can answer that.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
"The Australia's Got Talent" judging panel
is a microcosm of humanity.
(LAUGHTER)
Kate Ritchie, comfortable in her environment, home or away.
(LAUGHTER)
And who can avert their gaze from the exquisite beauty
of rare British songbird, Alesha Dixon?
So, much beauty in such a confined space.
(LAUGHTER)
Then there's David Walliams - incredibly talented...
by UK standards, of course.
(LAUGHTER)
Finally, Shane Jacobson... Uh-oh.
..the big alpha grizzly bear of entertainment,
who started his career as the lovable Kenny,
who dare I say, was definitely, in the shit...
but is now flushed with success.
(LAUGHTER AND CHEERING)
Isn't that right, Rafael Nadal?
(LAUGHTER)
(AS RAFAEL NADAL) Yeah, thank you, David.
Yeah, this is good.
Rafa very happy that you are still alive.
(LAUGHTER)
Rafa has had his vaccinations.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Good to see the judges have had their injections...
mostly for the Botox, but...
You laugh, but your faces, they do not move.
(LAUGHTER)
Who your guy?
Because Rafa needs big injections directly into the face.
Maybe he end up on 'The Masked Singer',
with your famous dole-bludging idiot,
the Hughesy, the David Hughesy!
(AS DAVE HUGHES) That was a long time ago, Rafa.
I'm rich now.
I'm the Elon Musk of Warrnambool.
I don't even want to be here.
Hughesy says "No".
Good night.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Elliot, that was fantastic.
There was not one moment where I felt cringy,
or that I wanted it to end.
Every character was spot on.
From the voices, to the way you were moving,
it was just really, really good fun.
So, thank you. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much, Kate. Appreciate that.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Mate, I'll be honest,
there's one thing that happens when I hear impersonations,
and that is a voice inside my head that goes, "Oh, god".
Because so often, people are bad at them.
But that's no what you just did.
So, for someone who is doing comedy and impersonations,
I've not seen anyone do that better, so well done.
Thanks so much, mate.
Really appreciate that. Thank you. Thank you.
Yeah, it had great flow, you're just a natural up there.
I felt like I wasn't judging you.
I was just sitting here, enjoying the show,
you were a bit cheeky.
And I actually do think comedians can do well.
I mean, we just had a comedian win "Britain's Got Talent".
Well done.
Thank you, Alesha. Thank you. Appreciate that. It's very kind.
DAVID: Yeah, you were great.
I mean, that way you really stand out
as an impressionist,
is if you do people that other people don't do.
So, tick for that.
If your material is super strong, tick for that.
If your impressions have their own flavour,
like, it's you meeting the person, you did that too.
So, I thought it was incredible.
Really, really funny.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
So, let me kick this off with a 'Yes'.
Thank you. Thank you, David. Appreciate that.
And it's a 'Yes' from me too, Elliot.
I'm saying 'Yes'!
Alright.
You just got four yeses.
(CHEERING) Thank you so much.
Appreciate that.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Thanks.
Wow, that's amazing. I don't know what to say.
Did not expect that at all.
Four yeses. Yeah, did not expect that at all.
You didn't expect it? Why?
I don't know. It's just crazy.
How good was his Hughesy?
AUDIENCE: Yeah. Yeah.
MAN (OVER RADIO): Guys, the wind is up.
It's not looking good, we need to go now.
(RADIO STATIC)
Hello, alright.
Here he is. You ready? I'm more than ready.
Who do you have here with you?
This is my aunty, Aunty Gail... Hello.
Hi. ..come here to support me.
How you feeling? Good, how are you?
Alright? I'm good. I'm excited.
Are you excited? Yeah.
PAT: My name is Pat Bowden, I'm 28 years old,
I'm from the Gold Coast,
and I'm a freestyle motocross rider.
Been riding since I was three years old.
I have this vivid memory of just screaming at my dad.
I remember looking up at him, like, "I want a dirt bike, now!"
But I had just had this feeling inside of me
that I have a mission to do in this life,
and that's just to do dirt bike.
Good luck. Thank you.
Be safe. I'll try.
On you go.
(BIKE REVVING)
(RICKI-LEE SCREAMING)
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Oh!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Now, that's an entrance. Hey, mate.
What's up, guys?
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Hey, mate, what's your name, where are you from?
My name's Pat Bowden, I'm from the Gold Coast.
Yes, you are.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) Thank you.
Mate, what are you going to do for us tonight?
Yeah, so, tonight, what I want to show you guys,
I'm going to introduce you my sport, freestyle motocross.
It's a very dangerous sport.
But, (INHALES SHARPLY),
I feel like I'm very prepared for this, so, I'm excited.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
What is the dream?
I was born with this dream.
Honestly, I asked my dad for a dirt bike
when I was 2.5 years old.
He told me he would buy it for me
when my feet could touch the foot pegs.
Not the ground, but the foot pegs.
So, I'm a tiny little kid,
I don't even know how a kid that old knows what a dirt bike is, so...
Does your dad do this kind of stuff?
Is your dad a freestyle motocross rider or a rider?
(EXHALES) (SAD MUSIC PLAYING)
My dad, he was definitely an integral part
of my success with freestyle motocross.
He was my mentor from a very young age.
Unfortunately, lost him in a motorcycle accident in 2016,
on the eve of my first, big, international event
that I was invited to.
So, I come to this fork in the road in my career...
Do I continue down this path
of the thing that, essentially, killed my dad?
Or do I go it alone and just continue,
'cause that's all I know.
I've had to learn to do it alone.
I'm making him proud along the way, so that's all that matters.
It's been a long road.
Very steep learning curve, a lot of injuries,
I've broken a few bones along the way.
This wrist injury right here
is probably the most significant injury of my career,
up until this point.
MAN: These ligaments that run...
I complete dislocated it, snapped it out of the socket.
There's no bones in my wrist, it's all fake.
Fake ligaments and everything.
As a freestyle motocross athlete,
today, I'm going to be showcasing my sport at the highest level.
I'm really excited for it and I think it's going to be huge.
What are you looking at here? How dangerous are we talking?
Well, had my fair share of injuries,
but it's a very steep learning curve.
When you're lying in a hospital bed for a few weeks,
then on the couch for almost two years,
yeah, you really have to think about, "What did I do wrong?"
And then the next time you go out and ride,
you definitely don't want to do that again.
But, I'm a freestyle king.
That's what we do, we're going to send it.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
You're saying "ramp and jump". Where are you doing this?
I'll presume it's not here on the stage.
I've got this crazy set up out the back. You should see it.
We'll go out there in a second, but I'm going to ride of stage,
go and do my thing outside,
and, um, if it all goes well,
hopefully you'll see me back here in a few minutes.
And hopefully you guys like it.
Well, mate, start your engine.
(ENGINE REVVING)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Yeah!
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Can I go?
Oh, no. See ya. Bye.
RICKI-LEE: Wow! Wow, oh, oh, oh, oh!
Hello. Hello. How are you?
OK, this looks fun.
Are you OK, how you feeling?
I'm fine, I'm ready.
It's a bit windy, to be honest, the conditions aren't perfect.
OK, can you tell me what you're going to be doing?
Ah, what we've got here is a freestyle motocross setup,
it's 23 metres.
Sorry to interrupt. Oh, Shane!
Sorry, I had to be out here.
I had to come out and watch you do it in person.
Couldn't have you ride off on me. Sorry, as you were.
Yeah, so we've a 23-metre jump here.
I'm going to be flying about 12, 13 metres in the air.
I'm going to do three of my biggest tricks.
So, I'm going to do three jumps.
These tricks are probably on this specific jump,
the most difficult tricks in the sport.
(SIGHS) Yeah.
I mean, this is 'Australia's Got Talent'.
It's the biggest stage on the planet,
and it's all yours.
Let's go.
Alright. (SCREAMS) (ENGINE STARTS)
Best sound in the world.
(SUSPENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Oh my god.
I'm sure when this is over,
you are going to breathe the biggest sigh of relief.
(SUSPENSE MUSIC CONTINUES)
SHANE: Oh, yes!
(CHEERING)
Oh! That is insane!
That's fantastic.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
There's not much of a run up.
KATE: No.
One last one to do.
(SUSPENSE MUSIC PLAYING)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
WOW!
(ENGINE REVVING)
(SCREAMS)
Oh, my goodness.
That was amazing!
Should we go in there?
Alright, let's go. Alright, let's go.
Come on in.
I'll be back, I'll be back.
(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE)
(TRIUMPHANT MUSIC PLAYING)
Pat... Pat that was...
That was unbelievable.
That was such a thrill, that was really difficult.
It was really windy out there.
But, I made it, I'm safe, that's good.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
I actually don't even know where to start or what to say.
Like, I'm so blown away by your fearlessness,
and your ability to put yourself out there like that.
Well, a lot of people actually stop themselves
from really fulfilling their lives, because they're afraid.
And there you are, just out there, fulfilling your passion.
It was outstanding, I couldn't breath...
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
..(LAUGHS), whilst I was watching it. It was thrilling.
Congratulations on a fantastic audition.
Well done.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
I'm sure I'm not the first person to ever tell you
that you are absolutely mad.
Um, but your madness was highly entertaining.
So, well done.
Thank you for such an entertaining audition.
Thank you.
DAVID: Yeah, and what you said about your father was very poignant,
and the fact that, you know, you carried on with this.
You know, honouring him is really, really moving.
Obviously, your skills speak for themselves.
We all loved it, but we still have to vote.
So, this is the moment of truth.
Well, you can't be more nervous than what you just did.
(LAUGHTER)
So, I'm going to kick this off with a 'Yes'.
PAT: Woo! (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Absolutely, 'Yes' from me.
Woo!
And it's a 'Yes' from me.
Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Pat, you just got four yeses, mate. We'll see you soon.
I'm very grateful, guys. I'm very grateful. Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(ENGINE STARTS)
Ha! And he was gone.
Mum, you try not to cry as well.
I'll be crying.
MAX: When I feel like dancing, it always make me happy.
ALICE: For a young man,
who has had a lot of obstacles to overcome,
he puts his heart into every dance he does.
To just see it and the way he moves.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
I hope they get to see you signature dance move.
Oh, of course.
It's basically this.
Let's see it. Oh, Jesus!
So, Max, out of all the judges, who's your favourite?
Eh, eh, eh, David.
(LAUGHTER)
David. And why do you like David?
Nah, nah, nah.
(GROWLING)
When David does, "Eh, eh, eh".
He always does it, every time.
(LAUGHS)
(SPLUTTERING)
RICKI-LEE: What would you do if you won $100,000?
If I had a thousand dollars, I would take David out for dinner.
(LAUGHTER)
What charge,
I wouldn't know what to say...
to meet David.
No, but, then you know what you should do?
You should make him pay.
(LAUGHTER)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
MAX: Because David is the best.
Because he's my favourite judge.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
You ready to go out there?
Yes, I am.
Good luck, have fun. I will.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Hello. Welcome to "Australia's Got Talent".
Hi.
And what's your name?
Max. Max?
And who is this lovely woman standing beside you this evening?
My mum, Alice.
KATE: Aww.
(AUDIENCE (APPLAUDING)
And what are you going to be doing for us here this evening?
A dance.
Wow.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
My name's Max.
Today, I'll be doing a dance for everyone. And...
And I will kill it on stage.
When I feel like dancing, it always makes me happy.
('DANCE WITH MY TONIGHT' BY OLLY MURS PLAYING)
What is it about dance that you love so much?
Oh, passion.
Passion?
It makes you feel good, right? Yeah.
JOHN: Where are you going to dance from?
In my body and my hand.
Yeah, that's it.
ALICE: His desire to embrace everything
is exceptional.
And he rises to challenges,
and he doesn't let anything phase him, which we love.
Hey, Max, are you going to be nervous?
It's just "Australia's Got Talent", that's it.
Just, "Australia's Got Talent". (LAUGHS)
For a young man who has had a lot of obstacles to overcome,
he's done it all with extraordinary success
and a great deal of grace.
And, we're just really proud of him.
(CHEERING)
Mum, how do you feel when you see Max dance?
Um, I'm always impressed.
I am very proud of Max.
We all are.
And he puts his heart into every dance he does.
You can just see it in the way he moves.
It's the expression, the love of the music,
the love of the movement, and love of an audience...
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) ..and being on stage.
And somebody special, I think, this evening,
that you wanted to say something to. Yes, I did.
My favourite judge is always David.
AUDIENCE: Aww. (CHEERING)
Come and give us a hug.
DAVID: Come and give us a hug.
Yes. Go on. Go!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
We are all rooting for you, Max.
Can't wait to see what you're going to do.
Yes.
You're going to be great. Thank you.
DAVID: Alright?
Nice to meet you, Alice.
OK, Max, what kind of dancing
are you going to be doing for us this evening?
First song I'm doing
is Callum Scott, 'Dancing On My Own'.
It's emotional.
Yeah.
And when it gets emotional, it gets everyone happy, cheerful.
And please don't... don't cry in the middle of it.
(LAUGHTER)
OK, we'll try not to cry. Mum, you try not to cry as well.
I'll be crying.
Of course. Of course, you'll be crying.
Max, are you ready?
You're going to be dancing for David, the audience,
and all of Australia, when you're ready.
(CHEERING)
Yes, everyone, including David!

# Somebody said you got a new friend
# Does she love you better than I can?
# And yeah, I know it's stupid
# But I just gotta see it for myself
# I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her
# Oh, oh, oh
# And I'm giving it my all
# I'm not the guy you're taking home
# Ooh
# I keep dancing on my own
# So far away but still so near
# The lights come on, the music dies... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
# But you don't see me standing here
# I just came to say goodbye
# I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her
# Oh!
# And I'm giving it my all
# But I'm not the guy you're taking home
# Ooh
# I keep dancing on my own
# So far away, but still so near
# The lights come on, the music dies
# But you don't see me standing here... #

(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE)
RICKI-LEE: Yeah! Woo!
(THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE CONTINUES)
Oh, Max, we absolutely love you. Thank you.
We loved that performance.
Thank you so much.
You're such a talented young man,
the love that you have for your mum, and obviously the love...
Yes. Yes, I lover her too much.
AUDIENCE: Aww!
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
And also, she's a good cook.
(LAUGHTER)
She absolutely adores you.
Thank you so much for sharing that beautiful talent,
and performance with us this evening.
Max, so lovely to meet you.
I had the best time just watching you
have the time of your life.
You covered the floor superbly
which is very, very difficult to do when you're a solo dancer.
It's a lot of pressure.
I loved it very, very much.
I was very moved by it.
Thank you. Thank you, Max.
(CHEERING)
Max, when we all watched you dance, we felt something.
And that's the magic of entertainment,
you brought that into this venue.
Thank you so much, Max. I loved it.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
Well, Max you said you were a fan of mine.
Well, I am a fan of you.
MAX: Thank you, David!
DAVID: OK? You're an amazing entertainer,
and a real showman,
as well as being a really talented dancer.
MAX: I am. He knows.
I don't think anyone will ever forget seeing you dance,
because it's going to be imprinted on their heart
watching you dance, it really is.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
I think the only thing left to do is vote,
and I want to be first.
Max, it's a 'Yes' from me.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
It's a big 'Yes' from me.
And another big 'Yes' from me, Max.
(AUDIENCE APPLAUDING)
We've got the audience here,
we've got the millions of people watching and me.
So, you've got millions, and millions, and millions of yeses!
MAX: Yeah!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
('RISE UP' BY ANDRA DAY PLAYING)
Thank you so much!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
# High like the waves
# I'll rise up
# In spite of the ache. #
Well done! MAX: Thanks, David.
You're amazing. Are you happy?
MAX: Yes, I am.
Is this your dad? Yes, it is.
I'm John. Hi, nice to meet you.
You must be very proud.
I want to have a selfie with you. OK.
