Every Australian Idol 2025 contestant that has been eliminated so far

Queensland cowboy Jake always turned on the country charm during his time on Idol.

He started strong by auditioning with Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody and continued to blow everyone away with hits such as Raise Your Glass, Day Drunk, Thinking Out Loud, and Stayin’ Alive.

Prior to being sent home in a triple elimination before the grand finale, he sang Hurts So Good.

On his departure, Jake thanked his wife and baby son and the Australian Idol crew.

“I honestly feel so good. I loved my time; it was an amazing experience. This is not the end of Jake Whittaker. I’ve got gigs coming up, check me out, I’m ready for this,” he said.

Kyle also gave him some words of encouragement and praise: “You are sorted, it’s going to get better for you, man, good luck.”

From the moment William auditioned for Australian Idol, he brought his A-Game.

As he made his way through the competition, he sang classics such as Shallow, Something Just Like This, Levitating, and Eagle Rock, and capped off his time with High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco.

Unfortunately, he was sent home in a triple elimination just before the grand finale.

Despite leaving, he said it was only just the beginning for him: “It’s a privilege and a pleasure to be part of this group. Thank you so much couldn’t have wished for more. My dream has come true. This is not the end.”

From the beginning, Jaymon wore his heart on his sleeve. For his audition, he performed If Tomorrow Never Comes with gusto.

As he progressed through the competition, he delivered powerful vocals with renditions of Drops of Jupiter, You’re Beautiful, Love Is All Around, Two Strong Hearts, and Eternal Flame

To cap off his time on the show, he performed Post Malone’s Circles.

“What a ride! I’ve only been doing this for a little bit. To audition for you legends and get to do what I want to do week in [and] week out has been amazing,” he shared upon his departure.

Marcia was also impressed and told him: “There is something so solid and honest about you, when you smile you need to know you light up the room.”

Throughout his time on the show, John turned heads with his vocals.

He blew everyone away with his performances of classics such as 2 Becomes 1, A Thousand Years, Impossible, and Bleeding Love.

For his final solo performance on the Australian Idol stage, he delivered a powerful rendition of Callum Scott’s You Are The Reason.

Although his journey came to an end, John was thankful: “I came into this whole experience just giving it a shot. I was so nervous in the audition room but trusting the process I have learnt so much and met so many amazing people.”

When Emma came to the auditions, she impressed the judges with her delivery of To Love Somebody.

Throughout the show, she performed It Must be Love, Heaven Is a Place on Earth, Iris, I’ll Stand By You, and Lose Control.

Although she missed out on being a part of the final six, she said her time on Idol was “only the beginning”.

“Thank you for the opportunity to share with you what I love. I feel like I have grown as a person and an artist,” she said.

Hannah was the last singer to be awarded a golden ticket by the judges and continued to blow them away with her vocals.

Throughout the show, she performed hits such as Dance the Night, UFO, and a Lady Marmalade solo. She ended with Good Luck, Babe!

While sad her time came to an end after a double elimination, Hannah was thankful for what she got from the experience.

“Thank you judges for this whole experience. I am so lucky and extremely grateful. This is not the end,” she said optimistically.

Amy praised her vocals and Kyle encouraged her to put her name out there.

“Get yourself a booking agent. I would book you for a party, a wedding, or corporate gigs. Go and start your career!” he said.

Bony certainly stood apart from the rest when he auditioned with autotune, and wowed the judges when he sang without it.

Kyle certainly saw something in him, and invited him back to make the Top 31, after he lost the battle.

From there, Bony shone when he performed songs such as Closer, All-Star, This City, and What Do You Mean?

Despite his talents, it was not meant to be, being sent home in the second double elimination.

For his last performance, Bony performed I Don’t Care by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber.

Upon his elimination, he said he was grateful for the experience: “Thank you for how you guys received me. It’s been super dope I guess we will see you guys on the other side.”

Following the announcement, Amy said she was confident in his talents: “I’m not worried about you at all, tomorrow you are going to get back into the studio.”

MzUki stood out from the crowd and was the first rapper to make it to the Top 12 globally on Idol.

She wowed the judges with her original rap and her rendition of Get Your Freak On in her audition, and during the competition, she went from strength to strength.

Throughout the show, she performed hits such as Drop It Like it’s Hot, Can’t Touch This, Gangsta’s Paradise, and Players.

Unfortunately, MzUki was sent home in a double elimination but is determined to pursue her music dream.

“Thank you, Australia. Thank you for having me, and to everyone who voted for me. I am going to keep going,” she said after her name was called.

Disappointed by her elimination, Kyle Sandilands was hopeful she would make it all the way.

“It’s a shame. Keep in touch. When you put a record out, I would love to have the chance to play it for you,” he told the aspiring artist.

Aaliyah blew the judges away with her heartfelt performance of Angel of Mine, which she dedicated to her mum.

With a golden ticket, the 27-year-old continued to wow them (and Australia!) with her powerhouse vocals.

When she took the stage, she performed Time After Time, All My Life and Call Out My Name.

Her final performance of The Jackson 5’s hit Who’s Loving You was met with a standing ovation from the judges, but she also went home in a double elimination.

Grateful for the experience, she thanked the judges for “seeing something in me when I didn’t even see it in myself.”

“I will continue on my musical journey,” she said.  

With her departure, Marcia praised her grace, talent, and humility.
