Finalists
The search for our second "Australian Idol" has begun!
Throughout April and May, the Australian Idol team of
producers, judges and hosts scoured Australia for outstanding
talent. Thousands of hopefuls auditioned and the Idol
team were handsomely rewarded with an enormous pool of
potential contestants, all vying for a place in the Idol
history books. After intense debate by the selectors,
these thousands of hopefuls were reduced to just 117.
The top 117 contestants went through to the next major
competition round which was held over a week in June 2004.
Their performances were recorded in Sydney at the Seymour
Centre. Of these 117 participants, just 30 [down from
last year's top 40] will progress to the next performance
round.
Once the top 30 have been selected, they will be split
into smaller groups. Each week a different group will
be featured on the performance shows. Viewers then have
the chance to cast their vote for who progresses through
to the finals. Through this voting process, the top 30
will be trimmed down to just ten finalists.
From mid September, these ten finalists will perform in
front of a massive studio audience and the show will be
broadcast live. At the end of each live show, the studio
audience and the home viewers will be able to vote for
their favourite performer through phone and SMS votes.
Each week, the number of performers will be reduced until
there are only two contestants left standing.
In a major live event, the final episode will feature
these two aspiring stars competing for the ultimate title
of Australian Idol, chosen by the national TV audience.
The next Australian Idol will then be announced.
