On Monday night, Australia chose 23-year-old Denvah Baker-Moller from Rockingham, 24-year-old Amy Reeves from Broome, and 30-year-old Dylan Wright from the Northern Rivers as their Australian Idol Grand Finalists live on Channel Seven and 7plus.
The Top 6 opened the show with an inspiring performance of Giant by Calvin Harris and Rag’n’Bone man, before hosts Ricki-Lee and Scott Tweedie announced each contestant would perform again solo. Then, it was time to say goodbye to three incredibly talented performers.
Judges Kyle Sandilands, Marcia Hines and Amy Shark recognised how difficult it was to say goodbye, as Australian Idol farewelled 22-year-old Trent Richardson from Emu Park, Queensland; 20-year-old Ivana Ilic from Melbourne; and 23-year-old Isaac McCallum from Ulladulla, NSW.
On departing the competition, Ivana admitted:
“Obviously, you want to go all the way but that’s not what this is all about. I’ve gone out there and showed Australia who I am and who I want to be as an artist.”
Amy said:
“You are such a powerhouse I’m so excited for your career. Everyone watching you is so aware of how incredible you are.”
Issac thanked the judges for believing in him.
“It is what it is, at the end of the day. I am grateful to make the Top 6 who would have ever thought!”
Kyle said:
“You’re the one I’m most proud of… you’re the one I was most worried about, you stood up and you have shined.”
Trent said:
“Idol was my first-time singing, with a crowd, on stage. I’ve loved every minute of it, I feel at home. I can promise this won’t be the last time on this stage.”
Marcia said:
“There is something really special about you, you’re a beautiful young man.”
Denvah acknowledged making the Grand Finale was a bittersweet moment:
“I always take so long to process; my heart just went with Ivana then. I’m so excited Australia. Thank you. I went on this thinking I’m just a country singer, but maybe I’m the country singer not just a country singer anymore!”
Denvah put her unique country spin on a moving rendition of Tina Turner’s classic Simply The Best, as Marcia reflected on Denvah’s first audition and praised her “for staying true to who she is.”
Amy cemented her Grand Finale spot after a “elegant” rendition of Gravity by Sara Bareilles.
Emotional, Amy said:
“I have no words other than thank you Australia, I’m shaking like a leaf right now.”
Amy Shark said:
“You really could go all the way.” Marcia admitted: “I adore listening to you.”
Dylan called his Idol Grand Finale berth “unexpected” before praising his fellow contestants who have become close friends.
After his performance of Ordinary People by John Legend, Amy declared:
“I think there is no stopping you now.”
Kyle shared:
“We love you every single week. You’ve made me cry twice!”
The winner of Australian Idol will receive a recording contract with industry giant Sony Music Entertainment Australia and $100,000 in prize money.
Sunday 7.00pm and Monday 7.30pm: Australian Idol’s massive Grand Finale week will see the Top 3 perform, plus the biggest names in Aussie music, including Idol legend Guy Sebastian and music superstar Sam Fisher, the iconic Delta Goodrem, country-megastar Morgan Evans, ARIA-Award winner Conrad Sewell and Australian Idol queen Marcia Hines.
Meet the Australian Idol Grand Finalists Amy, Dylan and Denvah at Westfield Hurstville this Thursday, 21 March from 5.30pm. Event details here.
Find this show ridiculous when one person has claimed they voted for one person a few hundred times. Should be one vote per person. Sure the outcome would be different.
Amy will win for sure .
Go Denver

Doesn’t matter who wins the three good some one will pick up the other two but iam going Dylan or Amy

I would love Denvah to win to be 1st Country singer to become Australian Idol. Denvah has a lovely and unusual voice plus she from Rockhampton in Central Queensland.
Trevor Caunt first yodeling dunno bout singer. I love country music but dont like the yodeling or cracking voice. She has fun though thats the main thing.
All 3 will end haveing a career 🙂 i dont the yodeller but i see shes having fun. I love amy n dyan love there song choices and beautiful voices.
Joanne Degen yodeling or cracking voice shes got that unique voice about her unlike amy she’s different
Emily Shewchuk i find her very annoying but each to there own. Good luck to anyone of them really. They all put in the work follow there dreams.
How is she annoying
Emily Shewchuk her voice but like i said each to there own. I dont no her personally so i cant say she annoying as a person it just her voice that annoys me. But my voice probably annoys people too lol😂😂😂😂
Amy has got what it takes to win – very impressive voice quality, versatility and the ability to perform highly difficult songs with ease and confidence! ❤️ Let us vote for Amy!!!
Cen Amores I don’t like how she seems at times
AMY … You’re such an inspiration to others with very solid voice.

If denvah wins it won’t be because of her singing ability she has none compared to these two
Go Amy. My vote for you to hopefully win
Go Amy
Go Amy..
Amy is a poser, fake tears and silly waving of her hand. She has a powerful voice but just the same as past winners whereas Dylan and Denvah are unique. .
Dylan for the win ..Amy is a screamer ..Denvah to me isn’t country & western .
Amy by a mile
Denvah to win
Amy has my vote 🩷
You are all very good but our vote goes to DYLAN 👏👍💙
This is going to be very difficult you all GREAT . 👍
Amy
AMY FOR THE WIN

They will all be winners because they have made it to the top…Amy has the best voice and her performances were very consistent .so I think she should win ..Amy 1 Dylan 2 Denvah 3
Amy has the look of a superstar and has an awesome voice
AMY YOU THE BEST YOU WIN 🙏🙏👍👍
If the best one wins its Amy

Amy certainly has the best vocals, however, Denvah really engages with the audience which is so important and she is so sweet and quirky.

Amy is good but I think Dylan and Denvah are more natural artists. It’s either/or for me. I think it will be Denvah 1st and Dylan 2nd.
