The Australian Idol 2025 contestants have been dropping like flies as they’re eliminated from the competition, leaving just a handful of singing superstars left in the hope of clinching the winner title.
Thousands of hopefuls faced Australian Idol judges Kyle Sandilands, Amy Shark, and Marcia Hines at the auditions, where golden tickets were handed out to those selected for the Top 30.
The last contestant standing will be crowned the winner of Australian Idol. The winner will receive $100,000 in prize money and an exclusive recording record with Hive Sound Studios.
Here is who’s still in the running to win Australian Idol 2025.
