00:00:22Welcome to an epic grand finale.
00:00:25This is Australian Idol!
00:00:44Hello, I'm Rikki Leigh.
00:00:46And I'm Scott Tweedy, and we are live with the loudest audience of all time.
00:00:51Make some noise!
00:00:56My goodness.
00:00:57Tonight, your three grand finalists, Marshall Hamburger, Eilish, and Gisela will ride in
00:01:05your boats with a playlist of all-time classics.
00:01:09We're talking John Farnham and the Little River Band, Da Vinyls, and Whitney Houston.
00:01:14Plus, joining them is an all-star line-up of Aussie music.
00:01:18We have Grammy winners Wolfmother, Leo Sayer, plus idol icon Casey Donovan.
00:01:24And all-round legend and ARIA Hall of Famer, Tina Arena.
00:01:33But before we get into it, let's bring them out.
00:01:35Sound, style, and star power is their specialty.
00:01:39It's your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:51Kyle Sanderlands.
00:01:53Marsha Hines.
00:01:55And Eilish Stark.
00:02:20Well, well, well.
00:02:21You all look amazing.
00:02:22Welcome.
00:02:23Hi.
00:02:24Welcome, our fantastic judges.
00:02:25Well, tonight is all about our three incredible grand finalists.
00:02:30We have got Marshall Hamburger from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland.
00:02:34Can I hear any Burger Boy fans in the building tonight?
00:02:38Who's the Burger Boy fans?
00:02:42There they are.
00:02:43Yes, there is our small-town checkout chick, Rob Chick from Colcaine in New South Wales.
00:02:48Give it up for Eilish.
00:02:52And finally, there's our school student, Gisela from Western Australia.
00:02:57Who's here for Gisela?
00:03:04The floor is rumbling in here.
00:03:06Tonight, each idol will be singing twice for your votes.
00:03:10They'll each perform an absolute showstopper
00:03:13and then take to the stage with a music superstar for a dynamic duet.
00:03:18Voting is now open.
00:03:21Text the name of the idol you would like to win to the number on the screen.

00:03:31It's up to you.
00:03:32But voting will close tomorrow at 7pm Eastern Standard Time.
00:03:36Kyle, everybody is talking about Idol right now.
00:03:39Everywhere I go, I'm getting stopped by people telling me who they want to win.
00:03:43There really is Idol fever in the air right now, isn't there?
00:03:46It all started with that song Marsha did.
00:03:49And it has been contagious.
00:03:51These three, what a great top three.
00:03:54Young teenagers right at the prime of their life.
00:03:58Anyone can do anything here.
00:04:00Good luck, guys.
00:04:01100%.
00:04:02Marsha, are you feeling the finale fever as well?
00:04:05I'm feeling the Idol fever because wherever I go,
00:04:08everybody's got something to say about all the contestants.
00:04:12And I couldn't be more proud of the three of you.
00:04:15You've done well.
00:04:16But what I really thank you for is the kindness that you're sharing
00:04:19amongst one another because that's really important.
00:04:22We're all in this thing together, right?
00:04:24Absolutely.
00:04:27Amy, we are in for another massive night of music.
00:04:31We have Australian music royalty performing, including the superstar
00:04:35right next to you, Miss Marsha Hines,
00:04:39who's going to be singing with Idol winner Casey Donovan.
00:04:43Are you excited for that?
00:04:44Oh, my God, I feel so spoiled.
00:04:46I'm such a fan of both of those girls.
00:04:48It's the second time I've got to see you this season,
00:04:50so I feel very lucky.
00:04:52100%.
00:04:53Well, let's get this grand finale party started
00:04:57with the first performance of the night.
00:04:59It has been go, go, go for our top three this week
00:05:02as they hit the publicity and promo trail from TV and radio
00:05:06to fan meet and greets and rehearsing for tonight's show.
00:05:10It has been a hectic time for our grand finalists.
00:05:13Let's see how they prepared for the biggest week of their lives.
00:05:17From the Sunshine Coast in Queensland,
00:05:19this is Marshall Hamburger.
00:05:27Come on in, guys.
00:05:29Honestly, being in the grand finale of Australian Idol doesn't feel real
00:05:32and it is wicky, wicky, wicky, wicky wet.
00:05:35Now, it's going to be a huge week because there's a lot on.
00:05:39Ooh!
00:05:40Yeah, it's busy.
00:05:41There's a lot happening this week.
00:05:42There you go.
00:05:43Oh, wow.
00:05:44So take it in.
00:05:45Grand finale week, there is just so much on.
00:05:48You've got an appearance at Sunrise.
00:05:50You've also got an interview with Kyle and Jackie O at Kiss.
00:05:54And that's in amongst fittings with the wardrobe team,
00:05:57vocal workshops with the music team.
00:05:59So it's just going to be busy, busy, busy.
00:06:01It really doesn't stop.
00:06:02Crazy.
00:06:04It is very wild.
00:06:05Grand finale week is absolutely crazy.
00:06:07Nice, big, happy smile.
00:06:12Everything that can possibly happen in a week, it is happening.
00:06:17We are heading to Westfield right now to sing.
00:06:20Whoa!
00:06:23Oh, my gosh.
00:06:26We are currently in a luxury limousine.
00:06:32To the top three.
00:06:33To the top three.
00:06:35Performing at Westfield is honestly such a cool opportunity
00:06:39to actually perform to our fans face-to-face outside of the Idol stage.
00:06:43So I'm excited to get out there and sing to people that want to see us.
00:06:48Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Gisella Eilish and Marshall Hamburger.
00:06:55I'd say there's nothing really like performing to your fans face-to-face.
00:07:05It's really quite a special feeling.
00:07:09The things that I've got.
00:07:13It's like you share a little moment with every person that you're interacting with.
00:07:19Thank you for coming, guys.
00:07:20Knowing that a big crowd like that is ready to see me perform
00:07:24is honestly such a comforting and reassuring feeling.
00:07:26It makes me feel like I'm doing something right.
00:07:28Now we have to practice for the biggest performance of our lives.
00:07:31So it's time to get back to work on the grand finale performance.
00:07:36You've got a lot going on this week.
00:07:38Yeah, I looked at the week schedule and I was like...
00:07:42Since this is the last time Australia really are going to see and hear you on this stage,
00:07:47what song are you singing?
00:07:49Playing To Win by Little River Band, sung by John Farnham.
00:07:54Little Screams. Little Screams.
00:07:56I think this song is really fitting for the grand finale of Idol.
00:07:59First off, it's thematically perfect.
00:08:02You know that I'm playing to win this time.
00:08:06Honestly, the fact that I'm so close to becoming the next Australian Idol
00:08:10has just made me want to win even more.
00:08:13John Farnham is probably, in my opinion,
00:08:16one of the best male vocalists that have ever walked the earth.
00:08:20He is an absolute inspiration to every musician ever, I think.
00:08:25There is a lot of pressure. This is the grand finale,
00:08:27so every note I sing on this stage really, really counts.
00:08:31When you make your move, I won't hesitate
00:08:35If you take too long, you could be too late
00:08:38This performance is really the last hurdle to becoming the next Australian Idol,
00:08:42so I've got to give it my all and play to win.
00:08:54If you want me, come and get me
00:08:56You don't have a chance if you don't move now
00:09:02I'm not waiting any longer
00:09:04You know that I'm playing to win this time
00:09:10When you make your move, I won't hesitate
00:09:13If you take too long, you could be too late
00:09:18This time I'm playing to win
00:09:22All those wasted years
00:09:25On my own, I was only a motion away
00:09:30I got what I wanted from me
00:09:33I didn't see it, we're not gonna be there
00:09:37I was a fool
00:09:44This time I'm playing to win
00:09:46If you want me, come and get me
00:09:48You don't have a chance if you don't move now
00:09:53I'm not waiting any longer
00:09:55You know that I'm playing to win this time
00:10:00When you make your move, I won't hesitate
00:10:04If you take too long, you could be too late
00:10:09This time I'm playing to win
00:10:12I'm not playing again
00:10:16This time I'm playing to win
00:10:20You know that I'm playing on my own
00:10:24This time I'm playing to win
00:10:29Applause
00:10:53Marshall Hamburger
00:10:56Doing LRB
00:10:57LRB, bro, what a great song choice
00:11:00Just step a little bit further forward
00:11:02I'm worried about that piano dangling in the air
00:11:04Me too
00:11:05You know what you've done?
00:11:07You've blown us away since day one
00:11:09Every performance has been sensational
00:11:11That's why you're in the top three
00:11:13But that could just get you across the line
00:11:16What a great performance
00:11:17Thank you so much
00:11:18You're a real showman, man
00:11:19Good luck
00:11:22You know, I watched you hit those big John Farnham notes
00:11:25And you went for it
00:11:26And then when it was all over, you shook it off
00:11:29Which is just, I totally get that
00:11:31Your notes were great, Marshall
00:11:33And what you've brought to the competition
00:11:35I truly, truly, I thank you, man
00:11:37You're great
00:11:38Thank you so much
00:11:39You're welcome, Marshall
00:11:42I agree
00:11:43Man, God bless you, Marshall Hamburger
00:11:46Because you bring so much credibility to this show as well
00:11:50Because, I mean, I have heaps of friends that hit me up
00:11:54And they're quite androgynous and different people
00:11:57And they're like, oh yeah, but it's not really for artists, is it?
00:12:01And I'm like, are you crazy?
00:12:03Have you seen Marshall Hamburger?
00:12:05You are a real artist
00:12:07You are unbelievable
00:12:09And thank you so much for coming on this show
00:12:12Because you are just incredible, man
00:12:14Well done
00:12:15Thank you, Amy
00:12:16Thank you so much
00:12:20I too am scared of the flying piano
00:12:22You've got a flying, hanging piano
00:12:24I know, I know
00:12:25That was amazing
00:12:26It's the force
00:12:27And all the stuff flying
00:12:28The force, I love it
00:12:29I love you so much
00:12:30Marshall, what a way to open the show
00:12:32You sang the hell out of that
00:12:34That is one of my favourite songs
00:12:36Is that one of your favourite songs?
00:12:37It's one of my absolute favourite songs
00:12:38It's one of me and my parents' both favourites
00:12:40I was watching them rocking out during the whole song
00:12:43It was so cool
00:12:44Marshall, you, Gisela and Eilish
00:12:46Made an appearance at Westfield Parramatta in Sydney this week
00:12:49A huge crowd turned out to see you guys
00:12:51How was that for you?
00:12:52That was honestly so fun
00:12:53It was so cool to actually sing in a different environment
00:12:56Because up here there's a bit of an unspoken barrier
00:12:58Between us and the fans
00:12:59But out there it's just sort of like
00:13:00Hey, what's going on?
00:13:01Hey, how you doing?
00:13:02It's a wild experience, isn't it?
00:13:03It's crazy
00:13:04Yeah
00:13:05Alright, well you can check out all the action
00:13:07On our socials at Australian Idol
00:13:09Now, hamburger hype, guys
00:13:11Has reached fever pitch in finale week
00:13:14So many restaurants in your hometown

00:13:21Here's a small serving of what's out there

00:13:29That's a good price
00:13:30Shut up and take my money
00:13:31I want one of those immediately
00:13:34If you think Marshall Hamburger
00:13:36Deserves the title of Australian Idol 2025
00:13:39Then you have to vote right now
00:13:42Text MARSHALL to the number on the screen
00:13:45Don't forget, you have ten votes to use tonight

00:13:51But everyone, give it up right now
00:13:53For Marshall Hamburger
00:13:59There is still so much more to come
00:14:01On our grand finale
00:14:02After the break, Eilish and Gisella
00:14:05Will sing for your votes
00:14:06For the top three, this has been
00:14:08The biggest night of their lives
00:14:10And they've come a long way
00:14:12Since their first audition
00:14:16You know what is so cool?
00:14:17We're like the youngest people in this competition
00:14:19We're the top three
00:14:20Can you believe that we're here today though?
00:14:23I remember being absolutely terrified for the auditions
00:14:26Same, same
00:14:41I mean to be in the grand finale with you is pretty
00:14:45Pretty incredible
00:14:46Yeah, there's no one else I'd rather do this with guys
00:14:50Aww, come here
00:14:53Still to come
00:14:55The iconic Tina Arena
00:14:57Performs live with school student Gisella
00:15:00Tina Arena is in the ARIA Hall of Fame
00:15:02So that's just an honour to be singing with
00:15:05Someone so amazing as her
00:15:07Aussie rock god Wolfmother
00:15:09Teams up with our very own rock chick Eilish
00:15:12The super iconic has won multiple ARIA Awards
00:15:15So it's going to be amazing to be able to collaborate with
00:15:18Grammy winning superstar Leo Sayer
00:15:21Duets with Marshall Hamburger
00:15:23It is an honour to sing with Leo Sayer
00:15:25Because he has had multiple global number one hits
00:15:27And has a Grammy to his name
00:15:28Plus the queen of pop
00:15:30Marsha Hines
00:15:32And idol legend Casey Donovan

00:15:38On the Australian Idol
00:15:40Live grand finale
00:15:45ARIA
00:15:53Someone's just waltzed in here
00:15:55Cha-cha'd up there
00:15:59And stolen it
00:16:02It's a crime of passion
00:16:04Every star in the world wants to get their hands on it
00:16:06Ooh, they are a shifty bunch
00:16:09You, step forward
00:16:12Why did you do it?
00:16:14Me?
00:16:15Junior after it, never
00:16:18Next
00:16:19Was it you?
00:16:21Me?
00:16:22I've been about love this whole time

00:16:35That's a low blow
00:16:38I wouldn't have the balls to do such a thing
00:16:40Was it you?
00:16:41Me? You gotta be joking
00:16:44Out with it
00:16:45The only thing criminal about me is my laugh
00:16:50In breaking news, I didn't do it
00:16:52This just in, it must have been him
00:16:55Allegedly
00:16:59That can't be me, I was in Summer Bay
00:17:02I'm hashtag innocent
00:17:06What have you got to say for yourself?
00:17:10Does it look like I need more gold?

00:19:38After Easter on Seven
00:19:50This is the Australian Idol live grand finale
00:19:54Our next finalist to perform is our rock chick Eilish
00:19:58From Cold Can in regional New South Wales
00:20:01Or as Kyle likes to say, Cold Can
00:20:04And as a tribute to Eilish tonight, here we go, have a look at this
00:20:07And Cold Can, we've got a sea of Cold Cans in the audience
00:20:11All in their Eilish customised stubby holders
00:20:14Cheers everybody
00:20:16I think the whole town's here tonight
00:20:19Well this week has been a different pace to Eilish's laid back life in Cold Can
00:20:24Let's see how she handled life in the finale fast lane
00:20:29Grand finale week is so crazy, so busy
00:20:33We are constantly doing something
00:20:36Great, come on guys
00:20:37But it is so much fun
00:20:39We have media interviews
00:20:41Congratulations first of all to all of you for making the finals
00:20:45What do I want Australia to know?
00:20:47That I'm ready to rock and roll
00:20:50Publicity shoots
00:20:52On top of that we have wardrobe fittings
00:20:55This show is hectic
00:20:58This much does definitely not go on in Cold Can
00:21:02The main street is quiet at like 2 o'clock
00:21:08Here we go, we're about to go on Sunrise
00:21:11I can't believe I was in Cold Can a few weeks ago
00:21:14And now I'm here at Sunrise doing an interview
00:21:17Eilish, we talked to you before
00:21:20The checkout chick, now the rock chick of Australia
00:21:24From Cold Can
00:21:25Local butchers even named a sausage after you
00:21:28It's getting big
00:21:29We are so excited, it's been such an amazing series
00:21:32And we're right behind all of you
00:21:33Thank you
00:21:34Good luck guys, go well
00:21:36The last 24 hours have been so crazy
00:21:38We've done so many things
00:21:40I can't even remember what I had for dinner last night
00:21:42And now I have a lot of practice to do
00:21:44Hi
00:21:45How are you?
00:21:46Good
00:21:47What song are you going to sing?
00:21:48Boys in Town by The Divinals
00:21:51Oh my gosh Eilish, this might be possibly my most favourite Australian rock song
00:21:56I know
00:21:57I chose this song because it is such a powerful song
00:22:02It's iconic female rock
00:22:04Chrissie Anfler is an icon
00:22:09And I just think it was a good song to go out on a bang with

00:25:01You were just, you were so unusually incredible
00:25:05because from the very beginning
00:25:07I said, so many people who wanted to listen
00:25:10She reminds me of Chrissy Amflit
00:25:12She just reminds me of it
00:25:14and there you are singing that song
00:25:16You know, you're quietly spoken
00:25:18and then you come up here and you raise hell
00:25:21You know?
00:25:24And I just, I just, I love that about you, Eilish
00:25:27I love everything about you
00:25:29and there's just something so solid about you
00:25:31and I wish you all the luck, my dear
00:25:33All the luck
00:25:34Thank you, Masha
00:25:36Do you know, Masha, exactly what you just said
00:25:39which is what we've been saying about Eilish the whole time
00:25:41is her whole different personality
00:25:43No
00:25:44But like, when I was thinking about it
00:25:46I was like, all the big rockers that I've met
00:25:49like Billy Corgan, Smashing Pumpkins
00:25:51Jonathan Davis, Korn
00:25:54Daniel John, Silverchair
00:25:56They're all very soft-spoken, quite calm like dudes
00:26:00like off stage
00:26:01and then they turn into beasts as soon as they get on stage
00:26:03That is you, babe
00:26:04You are an absolute beast up there
00:26:06That was epic
00:26:08Thank you so much
00:26:09So, so epic
00:26:10Well done
00:26:12Yeah, there's no doubt you're a fantastic performer
00:26:15The vocals are great
00:26:16You always choose the right songs
00:26:18and you're very likable
00:26:19because we see the real you
00:26:22and people see the transformation
00:26:24It's all you
00:26:25You're just a big circle of greatness
00:26:27in every way, shape and form
00:26:28You're going to be very hard to beat
00:26:30Thank you, Kyle
00:26:31Thank you
00:26:32Well done
00:26:34Eilish
00:26:35You just lit the stage on fire
00:26:38My goodness
00:26:39An iconic Aussie rock song
00:26:41that suited you so, so perfectly
00:26:43I have seen on social
00:26:45so many people begging for you to sing a Divinyls song
00:26:48How was that for you?
00:26:49I mean, it's such an honour to be able to sing a Divinyls song
00:26:52I mean, they're just classic Aussie rock, aren't they?
00:26:54So, yeah, to get out here and do it
00:26:56is pretty cool, and yeah
00:26:58Did you guys love it?
00:27:02That was amazing
00:27:03Eilish, your hometown of Colcan
00:27:05or Cold Can, as Kyle calls it
00:27:09Oh, he's got his can ready
00:27:11Eilish stubby holder, I like it
00:27:13Got it all
00:27:14Colcan could not be more proud of you
00:27:16and your place in the grand finale
00:27:18Kyle's struggling to open
00:27:19Oh, there he goes, yep
00:27:20I don't struggle to open cans, but
00:27:22I should know
00:27:23So much so that this week
00:27:25they have renamed the town of Colcan
00:27:28in your honour
00:27:29Check out this photo from The Border Mail
00:27:31Oh, yeah
00:27:33Colcan, ladies and gentlemen
00:27:36Cheers
00:27:37Cheers
00:27:38Cheers to the local council, well done
00:27:40Cheers
00:27:41Cheers to the family
00:27:43I love it
00:27:44Now, the name change has the backing of the town mayor
00:27:47and everyone is getting behind her
00:27:49What's next?
00:27:50Do you think there might be an Eilish statue?
00:27:52I have no, I wouldn't doubt it
00:27:54Colcan is mighty and they're great
00:27:56and they do all sorts of things
00:27:58So, yeah, I wouldn't doubt if there was a statue
00:28:01That can be your homecoming, I love it
00:28:03We could get a sausage statue made at the butcher's
00:28:05That's a good idea
00:28:06Go get a sausage and go visit the statue
00:28:08Exactly
00:28:10This is what I love about Australian Idol
00:28:12The impact of Idol is incredible
00:28:15and if Eilish is your idol
00:28:18then you need to vote, vote, vote
00:28:21Pick up your phone right now
00:28:22and text Eilish to the number on your screen
00:28:27Eilish, we will see you perform again later in the show
00:28:30but everybody, make some noise for Eilish
00:28:34Thank you
00:28:38Alright, still to come

00:29:00of the new series of Farmer Wants A Wife
00:29:03starting Easter Monday, take a look
00:29:08I'd really like to kiss you if that's okay
00:29:11I've been thinking the same thing all day
00:29:16The greatest love story of the year
00:29:19starts Easter Monday
00:29:21What do you look for in a guy?
00:29:22Um, you
00:29:24From their first meeting
00:29:26I felt like butterflies in your stomach
00:29:27I couldn't stop blushing, I couldn't stop smiling
00:29:29To their first kiss
00:29:31I have so much love to give and I want to give it to you
00:29:34This is the moment they've waited for their entire life
00:29:38Probably the best date I've ever had
00:29:40Pretty hard to top this, to be honest
00:29:42But finding love isn't always easy
00:29:45I've got my hands full
00:29:47We have two ladies leaving, they're not waiting
00:29:50Hearts will break
00:29:51I don't know if I can do this
00:29:53It's been less than 24 hours and we've already lost two girls
00:29:57What?
00:29:58I didn't think it would be this hard
00:30:00I'm not gonna lie
00:30:01It's probably the worst I've actually ever been hurt
00:30:03Can I not do this?
00:30:05Hearts will soar
00:30:09I'm falling really hard and fast, I'm totally smitten
00:30:11I get the tingle in my toes
00:30:13This is real love
00:30:15I'm falling for you
00:30:16I do hope that she'll catch me
00:30:18And there's nothing else like it
00:30:21When you smile, it lights up the world
00:30:24I love you
00:30:25And which of our past farmers will propose?
00:30:30Yes
00:30:31Brand new Farmer Wants A Wife starts Easter Monday on 7

00:32:21So Gisella, it's your birthday today right?
00:32:24Happy birthday
00:32:26What are you, what's the last name?
00:32:27I'm an Aries
00:32:28I should have known
00:32:29You go after what you want
00:32:31You push other kids out of the line at tuck shop because you wanted that last cream done?
00:32:35I mean I wouldn't go that far but
00:32:38The life that we're living right now is pretty surreal and it's like, it's like mind blowing to me
00:32:45Gisella, wow, what a voice, you've got like a bloody Disney princess or something going on
00:32:50Thanks
00:32:51I'm like, is this actually happening, like what?
00:32:54Good luck to all of you
00:32:56Thank you so much

00:33:05Happy birthday
00:33:06Happy birthday
00:33:07Congratulations
00:33:09Thank you
00:33:10Talk to me about your song this week
00:33:12I've tackled Celine, Katy, Ariana, one diva's missing and that's Whitney
00:33:20I'm singing How Will I Know
00:33:22Oh my gosh, I'm so excited
00:33:25I'm very excited
00:33:26Now is the right time to take on a Houston song because I'm in the grand finale of Australian Idol
00:33:31I think this is the perfect song to show that I can sing really well and also put on a great performance
00:33:36There's a boy I know
00:33:40He's the one I dream of
00:33:44I mean Whitney Houston we know is just one of the greatest voices ever
00:33:50One of the greatest
00:33:51I don't think I've ever met someone more brave than you to tackle these kinds of songs
00:33:56And do it in front of the entire country at your age
00:34:00So credit to you
00:34:02Thank you so much
00:34:03Very brave
00:34:04There's nothing left to say now except good luck
00:34:06Good luck
00:34:08It's definitely the most important performance in my entire life
00:34:14Singing means the world to me and I've always tried to do the best that I can do
00:34:18I never wanted anything more in my life and now I have to sing like I've never sung before
00:34:27Who Will I Know
00:34:36There's a boy I know
00:34:40He's the one I dream of
00:34:44Looks into my eyes
00:34:48Takes me to the clouds above
00:34:52Oh I lose control
00:34:56Can't seem to get enough
00:35:00When I wake from dreaming
00:35:04Tell me is it really love

00:35:12Don't trust your feelings
00:35:14How will I know
00:35:18And how will I know
00:35:21And how will I know
00:35:25How will I know if he really loves me

00:45:29I can't, that was amazing
00:45:31That was so cool, oh my gosh
00:45:33Kyle, did you fill up those money guns?
00:45:35Oh, no, because they're Marsha
00:45:37And they are Casey dollars
00:45:39Amazing
00:45:40So Marsha, they're going to be very rare
00:45:42They work hard for the money
00:45:43I was trying to put it into, anyway
00:45:46It's got to be too far away
00:45:48Marsha, Donna Summer was an absolute icon
00:45:51As we all know
00:45:52You have a special connection to her, right?
00:45:54Yeah, Donna Summer grew up in Boston
00:45:56As I did, too
00:45:57And her sister was my best friend
00:45:59And she did hair before I did
00:46:01And then she did hair in Boston
00:46:03Donna went to Europe
00:46:04And then I came to Australia
00:46:06Incredible
00:46:07She hated us
00:46:10We were younger than her
00:46:11We used to go through her stuff when she left the house
00:46:14As you do
00:46:15As you do
00:46:16You just do those kinds of things
00:46:17Don't you?
00:46:18Now, Casey, we went through this whole thing together in 2004
00:46:23We even shared a room in the Idol house back in the day
00:46:27And now you are back on the stage where it all began
00:46:30How does it feel to be back?
00:46:31Have you got the little...
00:46:32It's very strange
00:46:33The PTSD back, right?
00:46:34It's a bit of PTSD, yeah
00:46:35It's been an interesting week
00:46:36But no, this is where it all started for myself
00:46:39And, of course, you
00:46:40And 21 years, it's a long, long time
00:46:42And we've both grown and grown and grown
00:46:45And look at us now
00:46:47Now, Marsha, the two of your voices together are just incredible
00:46:51And singing Donna Summer, too
00:46:53It's just delicious
00:46:54This is all part of your Marsha Sings Summer Tour
00:46:57Tell us about the tour
00:46:58We're going on tour, me and Casey
00:47:00We're going to be hanging out
00:47:01So good
00:47:02With a great band and some great Donna Summer songs
00:47:05She was outstanding way before her time, I think
00:47:08Everybody's appreciating it now
00:47:10And so, yeah, it'll be me and Casey and some other people
00:47:13And a whole lot of curls on stage
00:47:14I love the curls
00:47:16I mean, come on

00:59:16You know the bit that surprised me?
00:59:17Gisella you're holding your own
00:59:19Beside Tina Arena
00:59:21That freaking blows my mind
00:59:23And you know what Tina?
00:59:25I heard you a few years ago saying
00:59:27Australian radio should play more Australian music
00:59:30And I listened to you
00:59:31We're flogging that stuff
00:59:32You were right
00:59:33Everyone should support Australia
00:59:34What do you think of this new little gem that we found?
00:59:37She's a gem
00:59:38She is
00:59:39She's a real gem and I've had a real
00:59:41It's been joyous being here with her

01:00:00Gisella sharing the stage
01:00:02With your idol Tina Arena
01:00:04Was that a pinch me moment or what?
01:00:07In the absolute pinch me moment
01:00:09I mean I've been probably
01:00:11Manifesting this forever
01:00:13Like Tina's my idol
01:00:15And she's incredible
01:00:16And I can't believe I'm standing next to you
01:00:17And performing with you
01:00:18It's incredible
01:00:21Poor darling had to be subjected to my material
01:00:24Because at the moment
01:00:25Ed played so much
01:00:27I love it
01:00:28That's why she's got such good taste
01:00:29She's such a great singer

01:00:36The 30th anniversary

01:00:41I have to say
01:00:42I used to sing that song
01:00:43Start to Finish in my bedroom
01:00:44What an album
01:00:46What an artist
01:00:47Can you tell us a bit about the tour?
01:00:49It's just
01:00:50For me it's a
01:00:51It's a moment
01:00:52Of being able to
01:00:54I think
01:00:55Sing these songs
01:00:56And to thank the Australian public
01:00:58For being unbelievably generous to me
01:01:01Over almost 50 years

01:01:05And for following that journey
01:01:07Through the highs
01:01:09And the lows
01:01:10Because it's never high
01:01:12It's just
01:01:13It is a ride
01:01:14And I'm very grateful to Australia
01:01:17For allowing me to
01:01:19Experiment
01:01:20And to continue to do music
