Australian Idol

New audition promo aired tonight during 7News, featuring 20-year-old Jaymon from Rockhampton.

Trading the tools for the stage

Will handyman Jaymon be Australia’s next Idol?

Rockhampton handyman Jaymon wants to trade the tools for music fame when star-making series Australian Idol returns to Channel 7 and 7plus in 2025.

The 22-year-old proud Indigenous man wants to represent his community and realise his lifelong dream of becoming a full-time musician.

“Growing up as an Indigenous kid, I’d love to inspire other kids to chase their dreams and give everything a crack!” said the laid-back Queenslander.

During his audition, Jaymon impressed the judges with a stunning acoustic version of Ronan Keating’s take on Garth Brooks’ If Tomorrow Never Comes.

“One contestant after another, you’ve got no idea what they’re going to do. Then, every now and again, a gem walks through the door,” said Judge Kyle Sandilands of Jaymon’s performance.

Get ready for incredible voices and cracking surprises in the 2025 season of Australian Idol.

In her radio show, Rikki said she went in that day to do some voice-over work for the show. They probably filmed some intros and links for the audition episodes as well

BBL final is Monday 27th Jan. so when does Idol start? They probably don’t want to give MAFS & Survivor a headstart. 28th Tuesday maybe?

Survivor won’t be starting on 27 January if I’m a Celebrity is only starting 8 days before.
