(UPBEAT MUSIC)
ALL: Showtime.
# Buddy you're a boy make a big noise
# Playing in the street gonna be a big man someday
# You got mud on your face you big disgrace
# Kicking your can all over the place
# Singing we will we will rock you
# We will we will rock you... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
RICKY: Make some noise for our first judge, Shane Jacobson.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Make some noise for Alesha Dixon.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Give it up for Kate Ritchie.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Give it up for David Walliam.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Oh, my god.
It was highly entertaining.
I mean, I think you guys are real contenders.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
And I thought I was camp. It's a yes from me.
You have such lovely stage presence.
Every beat of emotion was there.
Wait, there's more.
Oh.
That was a goosebumps moment, I have to say.
Oh. Oh. Oh.
You are outrageous.
I could watch you do that all day.
Take us through this, blow by blow.
Yeah.
It's moments like this where I love this show.
# Well I can't get you out of my head... #
This is your moment.
You think we'll get the golden buzzer?
The golden buzzer? Oh, of course we will.
Yeah, high five. High five.
Yeah.
If I got the golden buzzer on that massive stage,
in front of like the whole of Australia,
I would literally cry.
And then I would be like, "Yeah, I got the golden buzzer."
I'd probably cry.
The golden buzzer, it means you automatically
go into the next stage of the show. Oh, right.
It's really significant.
There's only one golden buzzer left and I'm so gonna make it.
Good.
Yeah, imagine all this golden flutter,
like just fluttering down. It'd be so beautiful.
# Gold
# I'm glad that you're bound to return
# There's something I could have learned
# You're indestructible
# Always believe in... #
Yes.
Make some noise for your Australia's Got Talent judges.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Alright, are you guys ready to see some talent?
ALL: Yes.
Do you know, there could be a golden buzzer in this.
You have a golden buzzer, too.
I do, I do.
I've got my eye on it as well.
I'm very excited. I'm a bit nervous.
I don't know when to give it. I don't want to give it too early.
I don't want to wait too long
and then not get a good one, you know.
There's a lot to think about.
It's a feeling, isn't it?
Just if you feel something, maybe you're really moved,
you feel really joyous or something.
You just want to go for it.
Shall we start bringing some acts out on the stage?
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Alright, let me bring out the first act.
Make some noise.
(CHEERING)
Hello.
Hello, everyone.
How are you?
I'm good, how are you?
What's your name? My name is Moses, Muy Moi.
Where are you from, Muy Moi?
I'm from Spain.
Wonderful.
So you've come to Australia
especially for Australia's Got Talent?
All the way from Spain to here,
just to perform for Australia's Got Talent.
That's what we like to hear.
So this is your full time occupation, what you're going to do.
That's true.
OK, how long have you been doing it?
For a few years.
I'm 35 years young, I started at 18.
I'm no good with maths.
My name is Moses,
I'm a street performer and I come from Spain.
Under the leg, under the leg.
Oh.
I have been for years trying to study a way
to be original
and not being a copy of a copy of a copy.
So actually there's stuff which I'm doing,
I haven't found at the moment nobody who does exactly that.
One, two, three.
When I'm going to perform, I go to many different feelings.
Like right before the performing,
I'm really trying to concentrate, to get control of myself,
and when I'm on the stage, I become something else.
I think my act will surprise a few people.
Muy Moi, the stage is yours.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# She said tell me how you feeling
# I said I'm not really sleeping
# She said give me something to believe in
# I said I'm too far gone for redeeming... #
Oh.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
How did he do that?
(AUDIENCE GASPS)
Argh.
# I got your shadow... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# Just give me one last chance to say goodbye
# And kill these demons watch them die... #
Ah.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
What the hell?
Oh, what a showman.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Oh.
Ah.
(CROWD SCREAMS)
# I chose the other side
# You're the frontline.... #
Did you hate that?
I hate him so much.
(CROWD GROANS)
# Not gonna change me
Oh, come on.
Shane? Come on, Shane.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Come on, Shane.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
(AUDIENCE GASPS)
Oh, hang on. No, no, no, no, no. Hang on. No, no.
Ah.
You want me to hit this brick?
(BUZZER)
Alright, OK.
No, no, no, no.
Oh.
No.
(SUSPENSEFUL MUSIC)
Ah.
(AUDIENCE SCREAMS)
Oh.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Look at my hand.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
That was the worst.
Are you alright, buddy? No.
Whoa, what a relief that's over.
My goodness me.
How would you describe that act?
It's a pain act.
A pain act?
Yes, well I think we suffer more pain than you do, watching it.
But it was certainly memorable.
Shane, you were right in the middle of it.
What'd you think?
I, phoar, my hand's shaking.
I honestly thought you'd cut your face,
and I just didn't know how I was going to explain that
to my children.
You actually look like you saw a ghost.
I'm just so glad you're OK.
Do you guys have Marmite out here?
Yeah, well, yeah.
Yeah, 'cause we have this saying back home like with Marmite,
you either love it or hate it.
You are a Marmite kind of act.
I buzzed you
because I genuinely can't bear to watch it.
I find it really disturbing.
Yeah.
You're crazy. Yeah.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
Well that made me feel better.
See, he's smiling. He's smiling.
I loved the madness of it.
I thought it was fabulous.
You are fabulous.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Just thinking what it must be like to take you home
to somebody's mother.
"This is my new partner, Muy Moi."
"What does he do?"
"Well he sort of, he puts a knife in his mouth,
"you know, and that's how he gets his kicks."
I mean, it's super memorable
and it's kinda what Got Talent's all about,
which is variety and things you've never seen before.
As much as I couldn't watch,
I also couldn't take my eyes off you,
so I'm going to give you a, yes.
Yes. Thank you.
Now, I'm giving you a yes.
Yes. Thank you so much.
I mean, I hate you.
But I also love you.
I'm saying yes.
Oh, thank you so much.
Will you not make me a part of what you do next?
Of course you will be part.
Oh, who cares? You're amazing.
Yes. You've got four yeses.
You're coming back. Thank you so much.
Thank you Australia.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) Whoo-hoo. Yes.
Ciao.
How the hell did he do that?
How did he do that?
# Take it to... #
A lot could go wrong.
Whoo.
Take us through this, blow by blow.
Monkey want a banana?
(BUZZER) I didn't love this.
Is there romance as well?
Spicy romance kinda does it.
Oh, wow.
Yeah, that was great.
Almost as hard as trying to get laid
wearing 'Bob the Builder' underpants, you know.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
What are you doing this for?
My parents.
Oh. Yes.
# Give me this moment... #
Do you have a second song?
# At the end... #
(HARMONISING)
My name is Victor, Victor Tang. I'm from Melbourne.
I'm going to be singing and playing the piano.
I'm auditioning for Australia's Got Talent
because my mother wants me to be on this show.
What are you doing for us today?
I'm going to play the piano... OK.
..and I'm going to sing.
I work for myself,
and I find the time to actually sing in the toilet.
Oh, let's call it a bathroom, not a toilet.
(HARMONISING)
I wake up at about 04:00 in the morning
and I warm up my voice until around 09:00 Literally.
Thank you so much.
You are so much more beautiful in real life.
Really? Oh, thank you so much.
When I sing, I feel like I'm in ecstasy.
OK, are you ready? You ready?
I think so. I think so. Alright, on you go. Good luck.
OK.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Welcome to AGT.
How're you doing?
I'm doing good, yeah.
Really well, thank you.
Good. What's your name?
It's Victor Tang. My name is Victor Tang.
Very nice name.
How old are you, Victor?
Oh.
Would you, with your permission,
would you mind if I reveal that after my performance?
Yep, no worries.
But you do have to remind me, because I am that old.
OK. No worries.
Tell me, what are you doing this for?
What am I doing this for?
Mm.
My parents.
Aww. Yes.
My mother passed away six months ago.
I'm so sorry.
And she's always wanted me to do this.
Oh, that's so lovely.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Well, look, we don't know what you're going to do,
so I'm not going to ask you any more questions about it.
OK. Go for it.
With your permission, may I just put this on the piano?
Absolutely. Yes, OK.
Good luck. So, yeah.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Oh, bless him.
# This is the moment
# This is the day
# When I send all my doubts and demons
# On their way
# Give me this moment
# This precious chance
# I'll gather up my past
# And I'll make some sense... #
(AUDIENCE GASPS)
What?
# At the end
# This is the moment
# When all I've done
# All of this dreaming
# Scheming and screaming
# Become one... #
He's got a rig on him.
# This is the day
# See it sparkle and shine
# Moment for moment
# The greatest moment
# Of them all
# This is the moment this is the moment
# This is the moment... #
(BUZZER)
(LAUGHING)
# When I look back
# I will always recall
# Moment for moment
# This was the moment
# The greatest moment
# Of them all
# Moment
# This is the moment of
# Them
# All... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Wow.
Do you have a second song?
You sang about this being the moment,
but honestly, it's moments like this why I just love this show.
Honestly, it was just so funny, so silly,
so unpredictable.
I'm watching this and I'm like, "I've never seen this before."
It was so funny.
I'm 57 years old.
Wow, you've got the body of a 27-year-old.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Shane, what'd you think?
Well, mate, you've raised the bar.
It was one of those moments again where it's so left of field,
it's so nuts,
that there's just no way I was ever going to stop that.
Kate?
I didn't love this moment.
AUDIENCE: Boo.
It just didn't do it for me.
I'm so sorry.
That's absolutely fine.
But I saw you grow up, Kate.
What'd you think, David?
Well you are so far the best singing-weightlifter
we've seen today.
We're going to vote. Shane? What are you saying?
Oh, it's a yes from me.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Honestly, I laughed so much, it'd be criminal to not say yes,
so I'm saying yes.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Kate?
It's a no from me. AUDIENCE: Boo.
So your fate lies with David.
Which way is Dave gonna swing?
Ah, Victor, it is a huge yes from me.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
He's through.
Thank you so much, Victor. You're great fun.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Honestly, that made me laugh so much.
I don't know why, I just found it so funny.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# They say we young and we don't know
# We won't find out until we grow... #
That is so funny.
# Well I don't know if all that's true
# 'Cause you got me and baby I got you... #
Love you to death. # I got you... #
We've been married for 53 years, and I love you, dear.
I love you too.
# I got you to kiss goodnight... #
I couldn't do this with anyone else.
Aww, thanks, babe.
# I got you... #
I love you very much. I love you.
# I got you to love me so
# I got you babe... #
We're going to do great today.
I'm Jessie, I'm 25.
I'm Jules, I'm 21, and we are...
Zamena.
(SINGS IN FOREIGN LANGUAGE)
We're a quick-change magic and illusion duo,
and we like to bring the new, the fun, the modern,
sexy side of magic and quick-change.
We like to undress each other for fun.
Can I say that?
# Now work it... #
You could say we're spicy roommates.
We've adopted that term.
Spicy roommates works pretty well. It sums everything up, I think.
Yeah.
Yeah, exactly what it sounds like.
Ah, we live together, we're not dating.
Live together, work together, perform together.
We're not partners in the sense. Yeah.
It's so confusing.
Yeah. Yep.
Spicy roommates.
It's a new hashtag.
#Spicyroomates.
Jessie has very good showmanship on stage,
so his confidence was quite attractive
from the beginning.
I hadn't really seen any other male performers
be so comfortable in their skin.
What attracted me to Jules?
We're the new kids on the block,
especially in magic and quick-change.
So we want to show everyone that, you know, we're here.
We're here to stay.
# Move your body like move your body
# Move your body move your body
# Show me what you've got now
# Move your body move your body
# Shake your body shake your body
# Move your body move your body
# Move your body show me what you've got now. #
Hello.
Hi. Hey.
Welcome to the show.
Thank you.
What's your names and where are you from?
I'm Jules, this is Jessie.
Jules and Jessie.
Together, we're the Zamena act.
Zamena? And how long have you guys been doing this act together?
Together, around four, five months.
Four, five months? So very, very new.
How long have you known each other?
Four, five months. Ah.
Is there romance as well?
We've adopted a term, I think,
that sort of generalises what this is. It's...
Spicy roommates kinda does it.
Spicy roommates?
Now that is a saying I've not heard before.
So take us through this, blow by blow.
What happened?
You said you were cold at night, or something like that?
I'm always cold, so I guess having a roommate helps.
"I'm a bit cold. Do you mind coming in here and giving me a cuddle?"
Yes. Is that how it started?
Yeah.
Once you see the act, it'll sort of make a bit more sense.
Got it. Zamena, spicy roommates.
Take the floor. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Thank you.
They already sound like, when you say spicy roommates,
it just sounds intriguing.
Spicy roommates.
Roommates.
# Oh yes... # Alright, let's go.
# Well looky here looky here ah what do we have
# Another pretty thang ready for me to grab
# But little does she know that I'm a wolf in sheep's clothing
# 'Cause at the end of the night it is her I'll be holdin'
# I love you so hey... #
Oh, wow.
# You'll tell me baby baby please don't go away... #
Alright, girl. There's a spicy bottom.
Spicy.
# So every girl that I meet yeah this is what I say
# Run run run away run away baby
# Before I put my spell on you
# You better get get get away get away darlin'
# 'Cause everything you heard is true
# Your poor little heart will end up alone
# 'Cause Lord knows I'm a rollin' stone
# So you better run run run away run away baby... #
Wow.
How do they do that? I need to know.
# Well let me think let me think ah what should I do
# So many eager young bunnies that I'd like to pursue
# Now even though they eating out the palm of my hand
# There's only one carrot and they all gotta share it
# Run run run away run away baby
# Before I put my spell on you
# You better get get get away get away darlin'
# 'Cause everything you heard is true
# Your poor little heart will end up alone
# 'Cause Lord knows I'm a rollin' stone
# So you better run run run away run away baby
# Take a break
# If you scared you better run
# You better you better you better
# Run run run away run away baby... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
I missed it.
They gave themselves a golden buzzer.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Well done, spicy roommates.
Shane, what'd you think?
I thought that was fantastic.
You know, I love up-close magic if you will,
and you took your act into the audience,
which I'm sure they appreciated too.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Yeah, yeah, there you go.
And I'll be honest, at the end there,
you were right here and I'm like, you know,
I don't know how you're going to pull this off
but by the time the glitter had gone past you,
you were redressed again. That was fantastic. I loved it.
Well done. (AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Thank you.
Well look, I really enjoyed it and, yes,
I'm always open to seeing the adult version.
That'd be very fun.
We'll let you know.
Oh, spicy, Kate.
David, did you like it?
Well, yes, I liked that you got in on the act as well,
'cause I thought actually, you've got an easy job,
you just really hold the sheets, you see.
You're doing the changing, but then you did a change yourself,
which was very impressive, so I liked that.
Thank you. Only one.
You're gonna be picking him up.
I mean, overall I think you guys did a great job.
The whole spicy thing, the vibe you guys have got going on,
I really bought into that chemistry and your energy.
So I think you did a good job.
I mean, the end I completely missed
because I swallowed this gold glitter.
Sorry about that.
But I'm going to kick this off with a yes,
because I think you worked really hard
and you deserved it today.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) Shane?
It's a yes from me.
Kate?
It's a yes from me.
BOTH: Thank you. Well done.
Spicy roommates,
you're gonna go home and celebrate, because you have four yeses.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Thank you. Thank you so much.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# I still... #
Oh, well that was a little goosebump moment, I have to say.
Say it.
This is Bruce. He is the mind-reading goose.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
I am in awe of your strength and resilience.
An amazing defiant statement of freedom.
So much energy coming from the stage.
You are a dancing army, and I want to see more of it, too.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
The crowd is going off.
The most extraordinary dance act I've ever seen on Got Talent.
Absolute perfection.
I'm so excited. Same.
How are you feeling? Pumped.
Yeah?
I'm Chris, and I'm 31.
I'm Madison and I'm 24.
We're from the Sunshine Coast.
And we are Flux.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Oh, nice.
Yeah, that looks great.
Yeah.
So cool.
It's loud and bright and it's intense,
and like, you know, everyone's going...
(AUDIENCE GASPS)
It's pretty full on.
What could go wrong?
Burns.
Whoo.
Do not try this at home.
You know, not being able to breathe properly.
Oh, I like that.
Oh, that looks so hot.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
That was a spectacle.
It was a feast for the eyes.
I've never seen anything like that before.
Thank you. Thank you.
Flux, this is a very easy yes.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Well done, guys.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
You are ready, you have rehearsed.
You are completely ready.
Can I hear a, yes?
ALL: Yes.
Alright, ladies and gentlemen, are you ready?
ALL: Yes.
Off you go.
Here they come, here they come.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Oh, my goodness me.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
I'm not saying a single bad thing about this group,
because this whole audience is coming for me if I do.
Oh, my goodness.
Now how many of you are up there on stage?
There are 68 of us tonight.
68?
Now introduce yourself. What are you called?
Well, hi, everyone.
We're All Starz Performing Arts Studio,
and we're located in Peakhurst, Sydney.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
The next two minutes are a very important two minutes.
It could actually change your life.
And we've seen some pretty incredible dance acts,
haven't we?
Yes, we have.
Over to you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
They just kept coming.
I can't believe how many people there are.
A lot could go wrong when there's like 68 people
dancing at the same time.
# You take me down spin me around
# You got me running all the lights
# Don't make a sound talk to me now
# Let me inside your mind
# I don't know what you're thinking sugar
# Oh
# But I just got that feeling sugar
# Oh
# I can hear the sirens burning
# Red lights turning I can't turn back now
# So hold on tight... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# Detain the dangerous
# Detain the dangerous... #
The crowd is going off.
# Baby this is getting serious... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# But something in the night is dangerous
# And nothing's holding back the two of us
# Baby this is getting serious
# Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
# Baby this is getting serious... #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# But something in the night is dangerous... #
(CHEERING)
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
So fierce.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Oh. They did it.
Well that was fantastic.
Thank you.
So much energy coming from the stage
and all of this energy in the audience as well,
that you contributed to. Well done.
Thank you so much.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
You know I was trying to look at every single one of you
when you were performing,
and in a way I was being over-critical in my mind,
because I was looking for the flaws.
And do you know what?
I didn't find any.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
I loved it. It was fantastic.
You are dancing, a dance army.
You're rock soldiers.
I don't know what you are, but it's fantastic
and I want to see more of it too.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS) Thank you.
Yeah, it was alright.
I'm joking.
It was of course absolute perfection.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Thrilling from start to finish,
and I sort of I'm almost felt sorry
that you were in the group rather than being able to watch it
because it is just so extraordinary to watch.
I mean, I think when you see that back,
you'll be absolutely thrilled
because it was one of the most extraordinary dance acts
I've ever seen on Got Talent in a decade.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
We are going to vote.
Oh, this is nail biting, isn't it?
Just imagine if someone said no now?
They wouldn't get out of here alive.
Let me start this off with an enormous yes.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
And it's a yes from me. You were fantastic.
It's a yes from me.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
You just got four yeses.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# Here you are... #
Well done. Well done.
You were great.
Now Ricky's going to interview every single one of you now,
if you'd like to go backstage and see her.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
It is something thrilling
about seeing that many people, isn't there?
Yeah, I know.
When they're all in unison.
You did it.
(CHEERS)
Alright, good luck guys.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Wow.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Hi.
Welcome to Australia's Got Talent.
Hi.
And who do we have here today?
So we're a choir.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
A youth choir, from western Sydney.
Welcome.
And how did the choir get started?
So it started as a choir for immigrants and refugees,
for us to feel like we belonged.
Like it's a place of healing,
and over the course of three years, it just blossomed to this,
to incorporate all these youth from diverse cultures.
This is Australia. This is diversity...
Yeah. ..in all its colours.
Yeah.
This is us.
I'm Natalie and I'm the choir conductor
of the United Voices of Felix Evolution
and Northmead Kappa High School.
Our group is about community.
We've had a melting pot of ethnic backgrounds, immigrants, refugees.
That's the magic of the group,
that we come in with all these cultures.
All: Whoo.
I'm from Indian heritage.
I moved to Australia like eight years ago.
I'm Kurdish.
My mum came here in the '90s as a refugee.
I'm a Filipino.
My parents are both Filipino.
They moved when they were young.
It's really refreshing to have not your skin colour
or your race matter, but your talent
and your passion.
Singing together is like a warm hug, you know what I mean?
It's like we've built a family.
We've built a community where everybody feels safe
and feels wanted.
Music is definitely healing,
and this is a healing process for everyone.
No matter who you are, no matter where you're from,
you can be that singer.
You just have to believe in yourself and just go for it.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
What are you going to be singing for us today?
Tonight we'll be performing 'Fix You', by Coldplay.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
Well, it's a crowd favourite.
We can't wait to hear you.
Thanks. Thank you.
# When you try your best
# But you don't succeed
# When you get what you want
# But not what you need
# When you love someone but it goes to waste
# Could it be worse
ALL: # Lights will guide you home
# And ignite your bones
# And I will try to fix you
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
# Oh oh
# Oh oh oh oh
# Oh oh
# Oh oh oh oh
# Tears stream down your face
# When you lose something you cannot replace
# Tears stream down your face and I
# Lights will guide you home
# And ignite your bones
# And I will try to fix you. #
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Wow!
I have chills.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
The entire crowd is on their feet.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Oh, that was a little goosebump moment,
I have to say.
You were all so incredibly beautiful.
Natalie, I think you are wonderful.
Thanks.
You've brought them all together,
you've given them a sense of family,
helped them not to feel isolated,
and they're just really lucky to have you, I think.
I just want to add that they have given me a family,
so I migrated here like eight years ago,
so they have been my family as well.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
I have a bit of a soft spot for choirs.
It's a sense of belonging to something
that is far bigger than ourselves,
and it's so refreshing to see such a diverse group of people
on stage as well. That really, really warms my heart.
The harmonies were beautiful.
I particularly loved all of the solos.
It was gorgeous. Congratulations to all of you.
Thank you.
When you give a performance, when people you know,
have come together as a family
and then it comes across the foots of the stage,
it feels that extra bit special, and that's what that was.
That was that extra bit special. Well done.
Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Well, it was the perfect choice of song
for just an absolutely perfect choir.
And you know, this is how you want the world to be, isn't it?
People coming together from all around the world,
making something beautiful, which is what you did today.
So we've got to vote.
I'm going to kick this off with a yes!
# Sending big waves into motion... #
And it's a heartfelt yes from me.
# Like how a single word... #
It's a yes from me!
# Can make a heart open
# I might only... #
Better get the family wagon ready,
you've got to come back and perform again.
You just got four yeses.
# This is my fight song... #
Four very well-deserved yeses.
Thank you so much. Thanks.
# Prove I'm alright song
# My power's turned on
# Starting right now I'll be strong
# I'll play my fight song
# And I don't really care if nobody... #
I love you. I love you!
Did that feel good?
# A lot of fight left in me. #
People here, they saved our lives, and we never forgot it.
You are deserving of this moment,
you are wonderful ambassadors for Ukraine.
All of us would love you to consider us your family
here in Australia.
When was the first time I told my partner that I loved him?
Exactly.
Oh, look at that!
That's amazing!
# Things haven't been quite the same
# There's a haze on the horizon babe... #
Do I need a haircut?
No, but don't turn your head so much.
# I miss you mm yeah
# If you're feelin' down
# I just wanna make you happier baby
# We've been doing all this late night talking
# Can't get you off my
# All this late-night talking... #
Good day, mate.
What are your names?
My name is Darcy and this here is Fred.
This here, ladies and gentlemen, this is Popper Jay.
Go for it. Oh, OK.
Monkey, want a banana?
Does a fat kid want a cheeseburger?
I find if I sing about it, it makes me feel better.
OK, here goes.
# This thing called love
# Oh, I just can't handle it... #
They're judging us.
Oh, OK.
To do what?
We're doing our talent.
We're showing off our talent. (BUZZER SOUNDS)
# Kinda like it
# Crazy little thing called love. # (BUZZER SOUNDS)
I can burp the alphabet.
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
Ooh! Oh, no!
You're gonna need more than that if it's going to be a $100,000 act.
I actually think that your nerves were really at the forefront there.
Yeah, it just, you know, it just wasn't really coming over
in a way, it should have done, right?
You would have liked bigger laughs than that.
I'm sorry tonight's not your night.
I'm sorry it didn't work out today.
(APPLAUSE)
(MELODIC MUSIC)
I'm Matt Tarrant, I'm 35 years of age
and I'm from Adelaide.
Tonight, I'm doing a bunch of magic, a bunch of mentalism,
and I've got a friend to help me out along the journey.
(GOOSE QUACKS) This is Bruce.
He's a mind-reading goose.
Bruce, you ready?
We're gonna do this, mate.
Alright, let's go. Knuckles?
This is my very first time performing with Bruce,
so we're both a little bit nervous.
I think he's probably more nervous than I am, but...
..no, he's not nervous.
I'm more nervous, I think, than he is.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
They're ready? Are you ready?
Let's go. Let's go.
OK, OK.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
That's an energetic walk-on.
What's your name? My name's Matt Tarrant.
What are you here to do tonight? I'm a magician.
Well mate, that spot you're standing on there
has changed many people's lives.
Let's hope it does the same for you. Good luck.
Thanks, mate. Appreciate it.
All yours, mate.
And before I begin, actually, I brought someone along,
it's special tonight, to join me up on this stage.
Please, if you can, give it up for my friend, Bruce.
Please, Bruce, bud.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS)
So he's... come on bud, it is all good.
Don't be too... they're very lovely people.
It's going to be... come on, come on bud.
I'll carry you if I have to. Come on, come on, bud.
(INDISTINCT AUDIENCE CHATTER)
(CHUCKLES)
I thought it was real for a second. (LAUGHS)
I did too!
I know what you're thinking, David, yeah.
What the duck?
It's actually a goose.
This is Bruce. He is the mind-reading goose
and tonight he's going to have to read the minds of all four judges
right here.
But before we get to that, you need something in your minds.
So earlier today,
we gathered a whole bunch of different ideas of firsts.
Now a first is kind of like maybe your first kiss,
your first day at school, and we gathered those all in a bag.
So I want you each to just grab one if you can.
Make sure you don't see each others.
Just make sure you only grab one,
have a look, and please don't forget what that is.
And then there's a bunch of questions on those cards.
All you have to do is remember the question,
but don't worry about an answer.
Oh, no!
Once you have that, we're gonna try to read some minds.
Bruce, he's very excited.
I love him.
Don't touch him, he's a little bit wild.
But there we go, This is Bruce.
Oh, hey Bruce.
He's a mind-reading goose.
He's so excited to meet you all, he truly, truly is.
We're massive fans of all of you.
Yeah, that is Shane.
He's very excited. He's probably...
I think he's probably your biggest fan.
He thinks, in fact, you are the world's best goose, Shane.
Thank you.
I can tell him. Oh.
He's brought along a gift for you tonight.
Oh, he's got an egg. Yeah, that is a golden egg.
Hold onto that for me if you can.
Make sure no one touches it, or goes near it.
The goose is going to read your minds.
Now you've all grabbed one first.
David, we're going to start with you.
I want you to visualise that very clearly in your mind,
and send that first from your mind to the mind of the goose.
You've got it?
For the first time, David,
what is on the piece of paper? What were you thinking of?
Your first pet.
David.
The goose knew that.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHS)
OK, they're not that impressed by that, which is OK,
so we're going to get to you, Kate, OK?
We'll get back to you after maybe David, Kate.
We're going to try something different.
The issue is, you don't understand what the goose is saying,
or thinking. So he needs to communicate with you.
To do that, he needs a pen,
because in fact he's gonna write what's in your mind
on this piece of paper.
All you have to do, just nice and clearly,
visualise the question on the piece of paper.
Am I looking at the goose?
Yeah, please, into his eyes if you can for me Kate,
'cause he is getting something.
He thinks he knows.
What were you thinking of?
When was the first time I went overseas?
When was the first time,
written by a goose.
Well done, Mr Goose.
OK, the audience clearly doesn't trust that is geese.
I promise it is.
We're going to move on.
Alesha? Hello.
You've got a question as well I hope.
This time we need something else to really get into your mind.
OK. He needs these.
Alesha, these are his mind-reading glasses.
(LAUGHTER)
So now not only can he read your mind,
he now can actually envision exactly what that looks like.
So do me a favour, in your mind very clearly,
envision what you were thinking of,
nice and big in your mind.
OK, he is going to, he's drawing something for you.
He's drawing something just for you.
Let's see, keep thinking of that.
(LAUGHTER)
He's got it. Has he got it?
Yeah. OK.
What thought you were thinking of?
When was the first time I told my partner that I loved him.
Exactly.
(LAUGHTER)
OK, that's a hand. Wait, wait.
What was that?
Oh, it's upside down.
Oh, look at that!
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
That's amazing.
I think I can maybe make this a little more magical for you,
Alesha. I want you to envision
and really remember that moment with I guess your partner,
as you said, "I love you" for the very first time
'cause I think maybe it looked perhaps it's a little bit like that.
Was that the moment I think it was?
And actually, what I want to do,
just so you know that is now just a piece of paper.
Ooh, do me a favour, sorry,
have a look, make sure that truly is just a piece of paper.
There's no ink, there's no moving parts.
That is truly... There's no moving parts.
..just ink and paper.
A round of applause with Bruce, if you can.
Wow.
That really looks like my husband, doesn't it?
Shane, the goose is disappointed.
I feel like perhaps the audience here tonight
doesn't actually think he can read minds,
which is unfair, 'cause he can.
He's a mind-reading goose, Shane.
But that is why he gave you a gift,
and he also gave me this for you.
ALESHA: Ooh.
Is that for the goose or the egg?
I want you to crack open that egg for me if you can.
You can do it on the table or on the board, is fine,
and make sure I don't touch it or go near it.
But give it a nice big crack for me.
Alright, here we go. Oh, good, Lord.
Ooh, this is fun. Have a look inside,
because you'll find there is one thing inside of that egg.
Yeah. It's a scroll.
That scroll says? It says, "Dear, Judges, I'm sorry
"If I was unable to communicate with you as you do,
"but I want to prove
"I knew exactly what you were all thinking of tonight.
"David, I'm sorry if you didn't believe that I knew
"you were thinking of your first pet.
"I know Kate won't believe my handwriting,
"but I can assure you
"I knew she was dreaming of her first vacation.
"Alesha, your love for AZ truly is magical.
"I hope tonight proved that.
"And finally, Shane, I wish..." Wait, wait, wait.
What was your memory, or what was your first?
It was the first time I was on stage.
Do you remember that first moment on stage?
Yeah, I do. What'd you do?
I went on stage dressed as a cowboy
and did a performance with a bunch of dancers.
There's no way I could know that.
Carry on.
"..and finally Shane, I wish I could have been there to witness
"the cowboy of Broadmeadows all those years ago."
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Bruce wasn't such a goose after all.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Well, it was very entertaining.
Have no idea how you did it.
I mean, Bruce the goose must be real.
Magic does exist.
We were absolutely captivated.
It was just fun.
It was lovely to be part of.
I'm so freaked out.
I genuinely went on stage at the age of eight
with my Mum's Calisthenics dancers in Broadmeadows,
and I just have no idea how that's in that paper.
So you shocked me. Well done.
Yeah, you are full of surprises, Matt,
and surprises is one thing we absolutely love on Got Talent.
So let me kick this off with a yes!
And it's a yes from me.
I'm saying yes!
Well done to the both of you. You just got four yeses.
We'll see you at the next round.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Thank you so much.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Wow!
Would there have been 100 bits of paper in that bag?
There were loads.
It'd have to have been 100, 50, whatever.
Did you like just take the first thing?
'Cause I literally was like picking up loads.
Well, I actually picked out two and then popped one back.
Yeah. Yeah, I shuffled my hand into it.
How bizarre.
Very bizarre.
# I knew the day would come when we would say goodbye... #
My name is Vlada. I'm 21 years old.
My name is Mariia and I am 19.
And we are from Ukraine.
We come here because of war.
You have just come to Australia.
You've just left Ukraine to get to Australia?
ALL: Yes. Wow.
This is our first performing since we go out from Ukraine.
Of course, we are a little bit nervous.
Now we're here and now we go and dance on stage.
Before this war, we just have a big plans,
but of course, in one day,
all this is just broken and changed all our lives.
I think the first day of war was the longest day in our life.
I think they're almost ready for you.
Are you guys OK? Are you ready to go?
Yes, yes. Alright.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Hello.
Hi.
What are your names?
My name is Vlada.
My name's Mariia.
We're from Ukraine and we come to Australia two months ago.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Have you come to Australia with your families?
No, our families and all of our friends
stay in Ukraine now.
And what is life like for them at the moment?
Yes, my father in army now, and he protects our country,
and my mum stay alone in the occupation city
and of course, this is so hard.
But now we're here.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
And what brought you to Australia?
Here, people just know that we need help,
that we stay in so dangerous situation in Kyiv
and they say, "We want to help them."
My name's Jasmine Straga
and I'm on the Board of Directors of the World Circus Federation,
and I assisted Vlada and Mariia to come out to Australia.
We asked them how we could help them.
While we were talking over Zoom, there were sirens going off
because they were, Kyiv was getting bombed,
and it was like immediately, that put me into full-throttle gear
and we just said, "We have to get these girls out."
The hardest thing is for me when I speaking with my mum,
one day she just called me and said,
"Vlada, I need to run.
"Our city bombing and I don't know what to do."
I reached out onto a lot of the community groups on Facebook,
and we had an overwhelming response.
We got enough funds to be able to pay the lawyers
and the visas, and pretty much everything that they needed
to be set up here.
They saved our lives, literally,
and we never forgot it
because people here just support us every day.
We can smile now and we just can go and dance now.
Now we're dancing with Australians dancer.
This is so cool.
We can't wait for the darkness to end.
We had to turn light on for ourselves.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
And what are you going to do for us tonight?
We dance with Ukrainian music,
and this music translates like "I'm free."
So we are Ukrainians, and we are free.
Good for you.
Well ladies, take it away.
Thank you.
('FREE' BY TINA KAROL AND YULIA SANINA)
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
('FREE' BY TINA KAROL AND YULIA SANINA)
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Wow, that was incredibly powerful.
So are all of the dancers from Ukraine,
or you guys are from Australia,
and you're helping these ladies out with their routine?
Fantastic.
This is our family now.
Very, very powerful and an amazing, defiant statement of freedom.
What'd you think, Kate?
Well, it was incredibly beautiful
and I guess none of us can imagine the struggle
that has brought you here to the AGT stage this evening.
So we are so pleased to have seen you perform
and perform with your new family.
Thank you. Thank you.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Firstly, I am so, so sorry
that you are going through what you are going through.
You are deserving of this moment,
you are wonderful ambassadors for Ukraine.
I am in awe of your strength and resilience.
Honestly, I just thought...
Thank you.
..I'm completely in awe
and my heart is with all of you.
As much as you say these dancers are now your family,
I'd like you to know that I'd like to think all of us
would love you to consider us your family here in Australia.
So I hope you can feel that.
Thank you so much.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Guys, can I just tell you that was amazing.
Thank you so much for sharing that with us.
It was such a privilege, wasn't it?
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
So I just want to give you something.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
# You can break everything I am
# Like I'm made of glass
# Like I'm made of paper... #
This is your moment, ladies.
# Go on and try to tear me down... #
(SCREAMS AND CHEERS)
# I will be rising from the ground
# Like a skyscraper
# Like a skyscraper. #
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Thank you. Thank you so much.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
(SCREAMS AND CHEERS)
What they did spoke for themselves.
Yeah. Yes, it did, yeah.
And how we can rave and saying they were good,
it was just like they came out and made a defiant statement,
didn't they? Yeah.
It was great. Thank you so much.
Oh, the pleasure is, the pleasure was all ours.
I'm shaking. I don't even know what to say.
I'm addicted to comedy. It's a rush.
Haydn's been through a pretty tough time,
for such a short life.
Do you realise you've been laughing at a Make-A-Wish kid?
I hope you're proud of yourselves.
You made me laugh.
You've got a brilliant take on the world.
Outrageous.
And I like your mum as well.
(LAUGHTER)
I'm Haydn Tuia. I'm from Perth,
I'm 36 years old and I'm a teacher by trade,
but when I'm not teaching I'm telling jokes.
(LAUGHS)
I'm addicted to comedy. It's a rush.
Every audience is different,
every way you tell the joke is different.
I got my groupie with me today.
I'm Libby. I'm Haydn's mum.
You feel OK? Yeah, feel good.
Oh, well... Excited.
..yeah, you should be.
I'm very proud.
Haydn's been through a pretty tough time
for such a short life.
I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease when I was 14.
Crohn's Disease is an autoimmune disease.
I've had three major operations, and a handful of minor ones.
You have ups and downs with Crohn's.
It's good to have a good mum in your corner.
I'm lucky.
Yeah, hasn't always been easy,
but you've got here, and that's good, yeah.
Yeah, and make your make-up run. No, I won't.
(LAUGHS)
Sometimes when you're really sick you can't do things,
but comedy you can always do.
Well, just go out there like it's just another gig
and just do your best. Yeah, it is.
It'll be good fun. Biggest one yet.
Watching him on stage for AGT is a pinnacle.
It's a really emotional time for me.
RICKY: You ready? Let's go.
David, he's comedy royalty.
I am. He's a genius.
So to get approval feedback from him would be amazing.
You know I'm proud of you.
Oh, I do now. Thanks, Mum.
(LAUGHS)
Good luck.
(AUDIENCE CHEERS AND APPLAUDS)
Come on, Mum.
Hi.
Good day, guys, how're you going?
Whoo, whoo, whoo! Whoo-whoo!
Welcome to Australia's Got Talent.
Thank you. Good to be here.
Yes, and what's your name?
My name's Haydn Tuia.
Haydn, how old are you?
I'm 36-and-a-half.
What? OK.
I thought we stopped saying that after like eight.
Yeah, when you're nine.
Uh-uh. I'm proud of making it.
I'm proud of making it, yeah.
No, you're looking good.
Where have you come from this evening?
All the way from Perth, Western Australia,
a little country to the west.
And are you here on your own,
or you've brought someone with you?
No, got my groupie, mum.
(LAUGHTER)
No, she only came to get your book signed, actually.
Where is she?
She's just side of stage. She's got the book.
No pen, though.
I've got a pen and... Got a pen, Mum.
Oh, you're gonna get your book signed.
Come on! Come on, Mum! (CHUCKLES)
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
..I'm coming to you.
For my grandson, Hugo. And what's... Hugo.
Yes. Lovely.
And now to read his book, live on stage,
ladies and gentlemen, David Walliams.
There we go. My pleasure.
Thank you so much. Anytime, there you go.
Yay! There you go, Mum.
Another book sold. (LAUGHS)
Now Haydn, what are you going to do for us this evening?
Hopefully, stand-up comedy, yeah.
Hopefully? (LAUGHTER)
Yeah.
You ready to give it a crack now?
Oh, let's do it. Let's do it.
OK, when you're ready.
Guys, good to be here. A bit about myself.
I recently moved in with a lovely lady,
so very excited about that.
It's gonna be hard adjusting though, after so long living alone.
Moving back in with Mum. (CHUCKLES)
(LAUGHTER) She'll get used to it.
No, my life's tough, guys, my life's tough.
I've got the face of a pedo, the body of a victim.
(LAUGHTER)
Do you know how hard it is not looking like a pervert
when you have to buy all your clothes in the kids' section?
(LAUGHTER)
Almost as hard as trying to get laid
wearing 'Bob the Builder' underpants, you know.
(LAUGHTER)
Can she screw this?
No, she can't!
Can't believe he said that.
I'm a teacher, guys. It doesn't help.
I haven't always been a teacher though, guys.
I used to work for the police.
They used me as bait.
(LAUGHTER)
You're welcome, yeah.
Guys, I'm skinny. The reason I'm so skinny,
I've got a thing called Crohn's disease,
so you've all actually just been laughing at a Make-A-Wish kid.
Hope you're proud of yourselves.
I've never been much good with girls.
Like even as a kid, growing up,
anytime I'd ask a girl out at school,
they'd be like, "Oh, gross."
Schoolyard romances are challenging when you're home-schooled.
(LAUGHTER)
But guys, I was home-schooled in primary school,
but in year eight I went to normal school, you know,
and I recently found my old year eight report card
and reading it all this time later as an adult
sounds a lot like what a review of my sexual performance would be.
(LAUGHTER)
No, it's cool, it's cool.
That's a super-weird thing to say, I agree,
but I did bring in my year eight report card.
This is it. Strap in.
(GIGGLES)
"Haydn has strong oral skills
"and benefits from a hands-on approach.
(LAUGHTER)
"He is an enthusiastic contributor but lacks focus and understanding.
"He does not always complete tasks to my satisfaction,
"and does not perform well in groups."
Thank you, everyone, I'm Haydn, goodnight!
He crushed it!
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE)
Haydn, I thought that was great.
Are you really a schoolteacher?
Is that part true?
That is correct. Most of what I say is true.
I think what I loved most about your audition is
it was hard and fast, you made me laugh,
you said loads of things I wish I could say
and I would never get away with.
So I absolutely loved it tonight.
Thank you so much.
Thank you.
Really good.
Haydn, if any of that can be shown on television,
it was very, very funny.
You've got a brilliant, you know, take on the world,
and it comes from a very real place.
You know you were talking directly from you.
Only you could tell these jokes,
and that's a great place to be as a stand-up comedian.
You've got a unique voice.
Thank you so much. Well done.
And I like your mum as well.
(LAUGHTER)
You are outrageous.
Literally, my jaw was on the floor.
I like your confidence, your stage presence.
You're a real find.
Really excited about you. I hope we get to see you again.
That was a solid audition. Well done.
Thank you.
There's one thing I love when I'm watching comedians
and that is when they enjoy what they're doing.
I just have to sit back and enjoy it, and I did.
Well done, mate. That was great fun.
Thank you so much.
I'm happy to kick off the voting, Haydn.
It's a yes from me.
I'm saying yes.
It's a yes from me.
I'm thrilled for you, Haydn. You're a very funny man.
It is a huge yes from me.
Whoo-hoo!
Yay! That was amazing!
Thank you.
Oh, you smashed it. That was so good.
He was very funny. But they were edgy.
That's how we roll in Australia, isn't it?
AUDIENCE: Yeah!
