RICKY: Good evening, Australia, it all comes down to this.
From across the nation and around the world,
they came in their thousands,
all trying to conquer this stage,
win a $100,000 and change their lives forever.
The judges have whittled them down
and only six supremely talented acts remain.
And now, you will crown
the next AGT Champion!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING) Let's go!
(INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC)
SHANE: Hundreds and hundreds auditioned
and now, only six remain.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
DAVID: It's the grand final
Only the best stand on this stage.
KATE: Tonight, a superstar will be born.
ALESHA: To win this competition,
you need to give a performance of a lifetime.
Australia, we have your grand-finalists!
The Ramadhani Brothers.
Everything you do is just world class.
I can see how much this means to you as well.
I really can, my darling.
I love what you do and I love why you do it.
To take on a Mariah Carey song at your age is incredible.
"Hey, my name is" and she's like, "Help!"
Oh, no.
This for me is just the perfect comedy act
and you are a superstar.
The strength and technique and discipline.
I absolutely loved it.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
KATE: You are everything that this show is about.
SHANE: You are just a complete show package.
You're a breath of fresh air.
DAVID: Everybody is gonna love you,
and I just hope Australia pick up the phones
and vote for you tonight.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Thank you for joining us, Australia,
on the most grand of grand finals.
Tonight, six acts will perform
and then face your vote to decide the winner.
A new AGT champion will be born,
so for one last time,
show some huge grand final love
for your AGT judges!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Shane Jacobson!
Alesha Dixon!
Kate Ritchie!
And David Walliams!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC)
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Wow, here we are!
Alright, alright, here we go.
Alesha, lots of nerves flying around this evening.
As a global Got Talent veteran,
perhaps you have some words of advice
for our grand finalists tonight.
Well look, there's nothing they can do about the nerves,
other than use them to their advantage,
and as stressful as tonight might be,
I just really want them to have fun...
Yeah. ..and embrace the moment.
Can't wait.
Can't wait. Can't wait!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
And Kate, your golden buzzer act,
the Ramadhani Brothers,
have made it through to the grand final
What do they need to do to win this thing?
Well, they just have to bring it, don't they?
And I have no doubt they will,
so let's just see what tonight holds.
And David, you've seen it all.
What is gonna make this grand final
so spectacular?
I think it's 'cause I'm here.
I think that's why.
Alright, we can finish the show now.
This is the absolute best of the best.
It sure is! And anyone can win tonight.
And Shane, you are the only other judge
with a golden buzzer act in the grand final tonight,
Emo Majok!
Yeah.
What do you wanna say to him before he hits the stage?
If I have to say one thing it would just be,
don't stuff it up, it's the grand final
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
Alright, well, thank you, Shane.
OK, it's a massive night ahead
and for the icing on the cake,
we have an extra special performance
by the sensational cast
of Australia's biggest new stage spectacular.
'Hairspray The Musical' is here.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
OK, Australia, let's go.
Our first grand final performance stars the golden boys from Tanzania,
whose semi-finals routine was dubbed a masterpiece,
"The greatest thing seen on any Got Talent ever."
David's words right there.
So, how can they top it?
Let's find out. This is the Ramadhani Brothers.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
ALESHA: I've never seen anything like it in my life.
The ability to do what they do,
effortlessly,
it's just blowing my mind.
Semi-final performance was amazing.
Yeah!
Now, we're in grand final It means our dream coming true.
ALESHA: I just love them.
They could just stand there and smile
and I'd probably say they should win.
We are best friend.
We trust each other very much.
Without trusting, we can't do this.
DAVID: The Ramadhani Brothers,
this is one of those acts that's not just, you know,
rehearsing in front of the bedroom mirror
for half an hour before you do it.
This is years and years of training and bravery.
On our grand final we mix acrobatics
and some tricks that we've never done before.
This one, it's head balancing, head to head,
but we mix with a pole. Yeah.
The grand final routine is the most difficult.
We've been struggling with the second part of the pole,
because that is really, really difficult,
and also we've fallen many, many times.
I'm just nervous that in case we make a mistake,
because you only have one chance.
ALESHA: They're so grateful to Australia,
they're so grateful to Australia's Got Talent
for giving them this opportunity and they're not gonna waste it.
They're gonna put the performance of a lifetime on.
We win this one, our life will change.
Yeah.
Only one chance.
No mistake.
We have to do it...
BOTH: Perfection.

The Ramadhani Brothers!
Wow, I can finally take a breath.
How do you guys feel?
Kate, we didn't want to disappoint you!
And you didn't! You didn't!
(INDISTINCT).
My heart is pounding.
Oh, my gosh.
I don't what it is about you guys, but I just feel so moved by you.
I want you to do so well.
You have brought the extra special spice to AGT
with a sweet sprinkling of greatness.
I love you!
Kate?
Oh, my goodness,
I have been so looking forward to seeing you guys perform tonight,
and I know that you were my golden buzzer,
but Alesha did say to me very early on,
after your first audition,
"I think these boys can win it."
You are everything that this show is about.
Yes. Thank you so much.
Best of luck.
Thank you so much. Thank you.
David?
I thought I was butch but my goodness me,
I don't think there's any other human beings
in the world
that can do what you do.
Thank you so much.
But you approach it with such grace
and so I found it very moving what you did tonight.
It was amazing, guys. Well done.
Thank you so much.
I feel like a proud uncle.
I feel less like a judge
and more like someone
who doesn't wanna judge you at all. And we don't have to.
Australia's gonna decide who wins tonight,
and I tell you what,
there's a whole lot of people at home now going,
"They are incredible"
and that will serve you very, very well.
This is the start of something amazing.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Thank you very much, Shane.
Thank you.
Tonight could be a life-changing moment
for the Ramadhani Brothers.
They could be your winners
but they will need your votes, Australia.
So, details on how to vote will be coming up later in the show.
Let's hear it for your first grand finalists,
the Ramadhani Brothers!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Alright, we are off and racing
and tonight, you will choose the champion
of Australia's Got Talent.
And what a hard decision it's gonna be.
This grand final is going to be a showdown.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
It was passionate, it was beautiful, it was graceful.
I wish there was another golden buzzer...
Yes. Yeah!
..because you deserve it!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
WOMAN: Whoo!
Truly, truly magic. I'm so glad you've come onto AGT.
I love you. I think you are so unique.
This is such a breath of fresh air.
The battle begins now.
This is AGT's night of nights,
where you decide the winner.
Time for our next grand finalist,
who really does let his performance speak for itself.
Inspired by the likes of Charlie Chaplin,
Buster Keaton and 'Mr Bean,'
this travelling clown
has been the surprise package of the season.
What world will he conjure up tonight?
This is Walison Muh.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Walison is such a colourful, fantastic character.
When he comes out on stage, you just cannot help but smile.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Mr Walison Muh!
WALISON: The semi-finals,
as it was announced I was in the final,
it was just like the best moment of my life.
I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction.
I mean, I still can't believe it.
He has this big, warm heart and you love him even more.
I've been working in a circus in Australia for about five years.
To be a comedian is the thing that I really love,
is like I'm really passionate with.
So, I start to watch old videos from old comedians
and just try to make something new and very fresh.
I've always loved clowning.
I grew up watching silent comedy
and I love 'Mr Bean' and things like that.
And the brilliant thing about this act,
Walison doesn't need words to make the world laugh.
So, for the grand final,
I'll be doing something
I've never seen in any talent show before.
Every performance that I do,
every time something different happen.
It's never the same.
Most of the time I have to improvise.
ALESHA: You know, it's a very risky act to do.
If one thing goes wrong, the whole act is ruined,
so he has to be so on it.
To win Australia's Got Talent,
it would mean for me,
everything that I've worked for has paid off.
I mean, what an incredible thing
if a mime artist won Got Talent in 2022.
That would be fantastic.

WOMAN: Whoo-hoo!
Kate, what did you think?
Oh, my goodness, Walison, I absolutely adore you.
I just kept kind of peeking behind
and looking at the little faces,
and some of the big faces in the audience
and that's all I need to see.
The absolute joy, that kind of sense of anticipation.
What you do is so incredibly wonderful
and we need more of it,
so just thank you for gracing us with your presence.
It's beautiful.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
David?
I just hope I didn't ruin it by being thick.
No, it was wonderful.
I love this act
'cause it's quite traditional in lots of ways
and goes back to all the kind of clowns
I grew up watching.
But the same time, there's something very original
and modern that you do too,
and I've never seen an act like this before,
and I love that it needs no language,
and there's no barriers to you finding it funny,
you know what I mean?
The kids, the grandmas, everybody is gonna love you
and I just hope Australia pick up the phones
and vote for you tonight because you deserve it.
You're a fantastic, original performer.
Absolutely.
My cheeks are sore.
Shane? I agree with Kate.
All the little faces were laughing,
all the big faces were laughing
and this massive face was laughing as well,
because you know,
you're exactly like the little balloons
that were in the big balloon.
You're uplifting, every time, kind of your act starts.
You have that ability,
the second you turn up on stage, like, people are already happy.
You're a joy to be around, mate.
See? Now, you bring out the inner child.
I just wanna sit here and pop all these balloons.
Listen, there's no doubt
that you are gonna have a career for life.
This is good old-fashioned entertainment.
I think you're fantastic
and we've seen how much this means to you
and you delivered once again.
Yeah!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Go, Walison!
Australia, with your vote,
Walison Muh could be your winner.
So, let's hear it one more time for Walison Muh!
He's a good guy.
In the semi-finals,
Sienna Katelyn's performance
gave us a vision of a future pop star
and Emo Majok had us all in absolute hysterics.
Tonight, they both have something even more special in store,
but next, can Acromazing flip the script
and deliver a final performance worth $100,000?
Find out after this.
Welcome back to the AGT grand final
Tonight, our remaining six acts are fighting for your vote,
the winning title and the $100,000 grand prize.
And next to prove that they deserve it,
are 19 girls from the New South Wales South coast.
The judges called their technique faultless
and their movement, captivating.
With another gravity-defying performance,
this is Acromazing!
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
What you just did was remarkable.
It could not have gone any better, ladies.
KATE: Acromazing are just a ball of energy.
It feels like girl power on steroids.
SHANE: They've trained for this.
They're made for this.
When a group of people like that trust each other with their lives,
then when you put them on a stage like this,
they just explode.
They've already set the bar so high for themselves.
I wish there was a kind of another golden buzzer,
I could just get right now
because you deserve it.
Where do they go now?
WOMAN ONE: We are so excited to be back for the grand final
and stepping it up another level.
WOMAN TWO: It's up to Australia
and of course the judges really believe in us.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
These girls are here to win.
You can see the determination on their faces.
I mean, together, they are absolutely unstoppable.
Love you Australia! Thank you!
Thank you so much.
I think to win,
we're gonna throw in some skills and some tricks
that we haven't done yet.
It could go terribly wrong.
KIM: It can all come crumbling down
and there could be some dangerous falls.
So, we sit on the sideline, Shelby and I,
and hold our breath the whole performance
because we know what can go wrong.

(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Well done, ladies. That was just beautiful.
David.
It was wonderful, ladies, really, really fantastic.
I really think you sort of took a chance there as well,
because that was a very interesting routine,
very unusual music,
and you really thought outside the box,
you really used your imagination.
But I think you've created your own sort of genre
because it goes beyond acrobatics, goes beyond dance.
You've fused these things in this beautiful way...
Yeah, it's Acromazing.
(DAVID LAUGHING)
..no, I mean, what you do is really, really special.
It's completely your own.
I've never seen anything like it
and the feeling you get watching it is really, really sublime.
It's perfect. You are amazing, girls. Well done.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
Shane?
Your entire routines are based around trust,
and it's just stunning to watch.
Everything looks so beautiful.
It's poetry in motion,
and yet you kind of stand back
and look at it under a different light
and it's so dangerous, and you do it effortlessly.
I think you're Acromazing.
(AUDIENCE CLAPPING AND CHEERING)
Alesha?
It's one thing to be technically perfect,
but you've fused that with so much heart and soul.
Like it pours out of all of you. It's so infectious to watch.
You came here, you mean business. I love that.
The song choice was perfection.
Just absolutely gorgeous. Thank you so much.
I loved it.
Kate?
I have to agree, Alesha.
Absolutely faultless and so incredibly beautiful.
I wanted to...
..I don't know, this young girl kind of flew over us.
Yeah.
Yeah, that was great. Was that you?
I didn't know if I wanted to cry or...
..you're just so incredibly beautiful
and it may sound silly but I feel so proud of you.
I have a young daughter myself,
and seeing a unit of girls up there working so beautifully together.
You should be so proud.
Can I just ask you, what's your name?
Marley. Marley.
Have they ever dropped you?
No, but when we were practising I did land on the judges table.
You did not! Did you?
Really? Yeah.
Oh, darling! Oh, my goodness.
And you've nailed it tonight. Yeah.
That's all that matters. You nailed it on the night.
Yeah, they're hard to beat.
And we are all behind you, Acromazing.
Australia,
Acromazing could be your new AGT champions,
and if you want the girls to win, then vote.
Give it up for Acromazing!
Alright, there are just three more grand final acts
to hit the stage and then your deciding vote
will crown a new AGT champion!
It's the grand final. Bring it on.
My mum's been calling me 'Golden Boy,'
ever since I got the golden buzzer.
Golden Boy's a way better nickname than what she used to call me.
She used to call me Accident.
WOMAN: What?
You are a riot, my friend.
This for me, is just the perfect comedy act
and you are a superstar.
Well done.
# Oh oh oh. #
When I grow up, I'd like to be like you, Sienna.
Yes!
I love you, Sienna. Well done.
Love you too.
SHANE: Where does that voice come from?
It's the kids that show the grown-ups
how things are done.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
Welcome back to Australia's Got Talent.
It is now time for our youngest grand finalist,
who delivered a spellbinding performance
at the semis,
taking on none other than Mariah Carey.
And tonight,
she's gonna head straight into the stratosphere.
Singing the Lauren Daigle anthem, 'You Say,'
and with Dad back by her side,
make some noise for Sienna Katelyn.
# The love that came to be... #
I do feel like an 11-year-old on stage,
but to others, they think, they're like,
"Oh, my god, she sounds so much older,"
I was like, "Thank you."
# And sent down to me... #
I'm always inspired by young people
that come on stage and just rock out.
In the Semi-Final, you could hear and see and witness
that this girl is going to have an amazing career.
(CHEERS AND APPLAUSE) Congratulations, Sienna Katelyn!
# Some people want it all... #
Dad has been really a big inspiration in my life.
Been singing together like forever.
# Want nothing at all... #
At the Grand Final, I get to join Sienna again.
With his support, I feel comfortable on stage
and I'm really happy that he's back.
Ready to go out? Let's go. Come on stage.
How on earth do you have a voice like that
when you're 11 years old?
Very, very proud of her.
You know, she's worked really hard to get where she is
and I think she deserves to be on that stage.
When I see Sienna up there on stage,
there is part of me that understands what it's like,
and I just want her to know how great she is.
It's the Grand Final.
For me, song choice is critical.
The song is about where I've started from
and I didn't believe in myself
and as the song builds up, it's about me believing in myself.
Can an 11-year-old pop goddess win AGT?
You know what, I think maybe she can.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
# I keep fighting voices in my mind
# That say I'm not enough
# Every single lie that tells me
# I'll never measure up
# Am I more than just the sum
# Of every high and every low
# Remind me once again just who I am
# Because I need to know
# Oh-oh
# You say I am loved
# When I can't feel a thing
# You say I am strong
# When I think I am weak
# And you say I am held
# When I am falling short
# And when I don't belong
# You say I am yours
# And I believe
# I believe what you say of me
# I believe
# Yeah
# And I believe. #
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING)
Wow, Sienna.
My goodness.
Shane, what'd you think of Sienna?
Sienna is 11, it's unbelievable,
and I can't imagine what it's like for your dad to be there
and stand on stage with your daughter
and have her perform on the biggest stage in Australia.
Your voice is ten years older than you are.
I'm so excited for where you're going to go in the world
and you're on exactly the right stage
to start your career.
This is where they get launched.
Thank you, Shane.
Thank you so much. We're so glad you're here.
Alesha?
You have to be so mentally disciplined and strong
to be able to control your nerves in a situation like this,
and that's why I stood up and applauded you,
because I have so much respect for you.
You are so courageous for your age.
I wish I had that courage when I was your age,
and when you hit that sweet spot,
your voice is unstoppable.
I love you. Thank you so much.
I really love you. Thank you.
Big up, Dad. I love you, Dad.
KATE: Yeah, we love Dad. Thank you.
It was great. Thank you.
We did love seeing you on the stage on your own, Sienna,
in the Semi-Finals,
but yes, it's lovely to have Dad back here.
Welcome back.
I hope you remember this moment for the rest of your life,
regardless of what happens here,
because you have outdone yourself.
You've really, you've really stepped up.
Oh, you should be so proud of yourself.
We are all so proud of you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERING) ALESHA: Let it out.
What you did on that stage just then is unbelievable,
regardless of whether you're 11 or not.
Thank you.
Thank you so much. Just as a young woman,
you've done so well.
David?
I'm sorry Kate made you cry.
(LAUGHS)
No, it's incredible.
I mean, you sound like a superstar, you look like a superstar.
This is Cinderella going to the ball, isn't it?
I mean, this is the magic wand moment
that every child dreams of and you have had that tonight.
You've had some very, very special moments.
Thank you so much, David. Thank you.
And no doubt you're going to be a huge star.
Thank you. ALESHA: Oh, Sienna?
KATE: Absolutely.
Sienna?
Can I just say... Yeah, Alesha?
..of all the contestants,
you were the only one that my daughter was like,
"I want to meet Sienna. I want to get a picture with her."
So... I really want to meet your daughter.
The youngest Grand Finalist Australia could be your winner.
She just needs your votes.
Let's hear it one more time for Sienna Katelyn!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
OK, coming up,
Oleg charges towards the crown
with what is set to be a phenomenal Grand Final performance.
But next, funny man, Emo Majok has stoked the fire
and is ready to roast.
It's the AGT Grand Final!
Welcome back to the Australia's Got Talent Grand Final.
Tonight, your vote will decide who wins.
In one of the funniest Semi-Final performances in AGT history,
our next act, Emo Majok, wowed the judges and the audience
and I nearly wet myself.
Shane said that his golden buzzer was a waste of time,
because he's ready to take on the world.
So, brace those abs, they're going to be working.
This is Emo Majok.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
To entertain an audience is tough enough.
Comedy is even tougher.
Penrith is a massive upgrade from Blacktown, though,
because I went from living around poor black people
to now living around poor white people.
He talks directly to us.
He speaks the truth.
And I love it. (KISSES)
He's making us laugh and he's making us think.
If only my mum could see me now.
She calls my father and she's like,
"Michael, come have a look at your son.
"He has become the king of the whites."
(LAUGHS)
I love people that aren't afraid to speak about things
that make people slightly uncomfortable
in such a beautiful, fun, positive, cool way.
He's a star.
(CHEERS)
That's the buzzer. I got the golden buzzer.
Are you the cool dad or are you the embarrassing dad?
Oh, she's only got one dad so...
Ain't no backup dads, I'll tell you that much.
Winning Australia's Got Talent would mean so much to me,
because the 100K will allow me to keep providing for my kids.
It will give me breathing space to reinvest in myself,
continue to do this comedy thing that I'm in right now, for good.
For the Grand Final,
I'm ready to take my performance to the next level
and let you know that I've got range,
I touch different topics.
This would go down a storm in the United Kingdom
and I'm sure America would embrace you, you know?
There is nothing to stop you having a huge international career.
Just don't forget about us, the little people, when you do.
This moment could literally change his life.
You won't even know what hit you.
Coming in hot!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Sydney, make some goddamn noise!
So, I just recently moved houses, which is cool.
Man, I went from a predominantly black neighbourhood
into a white neighbourhood,
and I wanted to do the right thing,
so I went door-knocking
to let the friendly white people of my apartment
know that I live here, don't call the cops.
So, I went and I knocked on the apartment across the hall.
(KNOCKING SOUND)
And this sweet old lady opened the door.
And I was like, "Hey, I name is..." and she's like, "Help!"
But she said help with such fear in her voice
I thought someone was behind me.
So, I panicked and jumped in her apartment
and locked the door.
Oh, no! (LAUGHS)
But she just kept calling out for help.
She's like, "Help! Help!"
I'm like, "Ma'am, ma'am, ma'am,
"my name is Emo, I'm your new neighbour.
"I just want to let you know if you ever need anything,
"just give me a shout."
As I'm walking off I hear her say,
"We don't keep cash on the premises."
I'm like, "What?"
(LAUGHS)
I do love the area I'm living in.
The scariest thing I ever had in my area
was a Jehovah's Witness knocking at my door.
You ever had one of those?
He's like, "Hey, my name's Ezekiel."
I'm like, "Hey, Ezekiel, my name's Emo."
He's like, "Hey, Emo, can I ask you a question?
"Have you found Jehovah?"
I'm like, "No, I haven't, Ezekiel.
"But I can't do this with you right now
"because I've got to take my daughter swimming."
He goes, "OK, cool, cool."
Comes back a week later, he's like, "Hey, Emo, have you found Jehovah?"
I'm like, "No, I haven't Ezekiel,
"but I can't do this with you right now,
"'cause I have to take my daughter snorkelling."
Obviously, both those excuses were lies,
because everybody knows black people don't swim.
Third week he comes over, he's like, "Hey, Emo, have you found Jehovah?"
I'm like, "No, I haven't," and he just starts getting judgy.
He goes, "Well then, mate, you're lost."
I'm like, "Ezekiel, you've been in my house three weeks in a row
"looking for this Jehovah fellow.
"And you have the nerve to say I'm lost?"
(LAUGHS)
If we've learnt anything over the last few years,
ladies and gentlemen,
we're a lot smarter now, we're more socially conscious.
Like ma'am, do you remember
when they first started charging 15 cents for plastic bags?
Do you remember that?
I was at the grocery store behind this African lady,
and she had just found out
they were charging 15 cents for the plastic bags.
Cashier was scanning items.
Boop! Boop! Boop!
"Ma'am, would you like to purchase some plastic bags for 15 cents?"
African lady's like, "What for?"
Cashier's like, "Ma'am, we have to get rid of old plastic bags
"and bring out these new ones,"
and the African lady's like,
"I'm not paying for these plastic bags."
And then she started stacking the grocery on her head.
And then she just walks out.
The cashier's like, "Oh, my god, that is some gangster stuff."
But at the same time, I didn't want to get left behind.
I was like, "Wait for me Mama!"
Ladies and gents, I've been Emo Majok.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Emo Majok, ladies and gentlemen!
Judges, how good is it to have some comedy in the Grand Final?
Emo, you know, I've loved, you know, being on this journey with you
and you were the one act on the show tonight,
I just thought, "Where's my popcorn?
"I just want to sit back, relax, enjoy the show."
It's been fantastic.
You are a breath of fresh air.
You know, you are going to break down some barriers.
I really respect you, your point of view is unique
and you're a great find.
I think that comedy is one of the hardest things to do
on this stage, so respect to you, my friend.
Well done once again.
Thank you. Yeah.
Kate?
Well done.
It's been so nice to be introduced to you here,
and I think it's just wonderful that you continue to make us laugh
about things that we should be listening to.
All of those messages that you're putting across to us
are much more important than the joke themselves.
So, thank you.
Thank you. Thank you so much.
Absolutely love you.
(APPLAUSE)
Wassup, David? How're we doing?
Good. I mean, you've just got it.
You know what to do.
You know how to make people laugh, you're relaxed,
you're confident, you've got something to say,
everything's provocative.
Lots of really surprising jokes in there
and you know, no judging required.
We are just an audience in your hands every single time.
Thank you. Well done.
Thank you.
(APPLAUSE)
Mate, I...
As much as I said you didn't need my golden buzzer
because you are going somewhere,
and I am thrilled to be a small part of that.
But the rest is all yours. Thank you.
The pleasure's been all mine, honestly has.
Alright, well, Emo, you are a rising star.
The judges love you. We love you, don't we?
(CHEERS)
What would you do with the $100,000 prize money?
What would I do with a $100,000 prize?
Like, honestly, that's life-changing.
It means I could get my kids through school,
continue to provide and also invest in myself further
so I can keep doing what I'm doing right now
for each and every one of youse.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Well, you no doubt have a huge future ahead of you
and I'm such a huge fan of you.
Please, one more time for Emo.
If you think Emo is destined for stardom and the AGT crown,
then he deserves your vote.
So, give it up one more time for Emo Majok!
The Grand Final is Everest and only one will reach the summit.
The winner of Australia's Got Talent 2022 is...
You absolutely blew us away.
You're very much a one-off.
I've never seen an act like this before.
There can only be one winner.
Welcome back to Australia's Got Talent
where the champagne is on ice,
the glitter cannons are loaded
and three is one final act to take the stage.
He brought the house down
with an extraordinary Semi-Finals routine
that was strong, sexy and majestic,
and boy does he know how to put on one hell of a show.
Kate, try and control yourself tonight, OK?
It's Oleg!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Oleg is world-class.
He's a creative genius.
He comes out, he makes it look seamless.
He knows how to put on a show.
He actually makes us all a bit shy and giddy.
Oh, look, it's Oleg.
Worried about Alesha and I getting wet here in the front row.
DAVID: Disgusting.
Can you elaborate, Kate.
No. OK.
That was absolutely incredible,
want to see you back in the final.
Let's hear it for Oleg, everybody!
I sacrifice myself every day with my hard training.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Like me, he doesn't just trade off his looks.
You know, he really works hard to do something very, very special.
To be exceptional, there is no day off.
Amazing audition,
stunning Semi-Final, but now we're in the Grand Final.
He needs to come out,
he needs to leave his heart and soul on the stage.
My Grand Final performance tells a story.
It's about Ukraine, searching for peace and hope.
I want the people of Ukraine, my friends, my family,
to be proud of me.
And proud of being Ukrainian.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Ooh, this looks great.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
('AVE MARIA' TUNE PLAYS)
That is amazing!
That is sick!
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Well, well, well!
Hello!
It's a little bit wet out here.
Just a touch.
Do you need some of this umbrella, or is just me?
No, just you.
Oh, you've had a cheeky haircut.
Fresh.
Like you needed to improve on the perfection that you are.
Like, come on!
Oh, Ricky!
Judges, it's only right to start with Lady Kate.
Oh, me?
Funny you should mention a haircut
because the first thing Alesha said to me, "He's had a haircut."
I don't think it was approved with us,
but we do love it and look, all jokes aside,
we've covered...
We've covered the fact that everything is pleasing to the eye,
but your strength and the performance itself
continues to be wonderful.
So, well done, you should be really proud of yourself this evening.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Thank you so much. Thank you.
No, it's incredible what you do.
It's very, very graceful.
At one point I thought you'd electrocuted yourself
because the light was going off,
and I'm worried about you in those wet jogging bottoms.
I think you need to slip them off right now,
otherwise, you're going to catch a cold.
It's amazing what you do.
There's real artistry to it, real power as well.
It was really, really stunning.
So, you did something very special tonight, Oleg.
Well done.
Thank you so much.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Oleg, I don't want to take anything away from you,
but looking like that is easy.
This is hard.
(LAUGHS)
This is a whole 'nother level of work.
It takes work.
But mate, you are just a complete show package.
You always make it look different.
If you did a 100 more performances,
I'd watch all 100 of them.
Well done.
It's been such a pleasure to watch you.
Thank you, thank you.
Your skill is the fact that what you're doing is so difficult,
but you make it look so easy.
It's very beautiful.
The artistry is exceptional, the presentation.
The laser with the rain and the whole setting, the music,
it was so well thought out and brilliant,
that you've upped it from the Semi-Finals,
you deserve to be here in the Final.
What a way to end it.
It was absolutely fantastic.
Well done.
Once again, I loved it.
Brilliant.
When you came to Australia, did you imagine getting this far?
No, honestly, I can't believe that Australia showed me so much love,
and I'm really thankful for that.
And I would say that
I think there is no place for wars on our planet,
and we just need peace and love.
Absolutely.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
If you want Oleg to be your winner, then he needs your vote.
Ladies and gentlemen, Oleg!

Actually, I can't quite believe that this is happening,

our own little bundle of Baltimore happiness,
Tracey Turnblad.
In five, four, three, two, one, whoo!
# Oh oh oh
# Woke up today
# Feeling the way I always do
# Oh oh oh
# Hungry for something that I can't eat
# Then I hear that beat
# That rhythm of town starts calling me down
# It's like a message from high above
# Oh oh oh
# Pulling me out
# To the smiles and the streets that I love
# Good morning Baltimore
# Every day's like an open door
# Every night is a fantasy
# And every sound's like a symphony
# And I promise Baltimore
# That some day when I take to the floor
# The world's gonna wake up and see
# Gonna wake up and see
# Baltimore and me. #
Well, what do you say, Penny?
I am now the chequerboard kid.
# You can't stop the river as it rushes to the sea
# You can try to stop the hands of time
# But you know it just can't be
# And if they try to stop us Seaweed
# I've got the N double ACP
# 'Cause the world keeps spinning round and round
# And my heart's keeping time to the speed of sound
# I was lost till I heard the drums
# Then I found my way... #
# You can't stop the beat
# Ever since we first saw the light
# A man and woman like to shake it on a Saturday night
# So I'm gonna shake and shimmy it with all of my might today
# 'Cause you cant stop the motion of the ocean
# Or the rain from above
# You can try to stop the paradise we're dreaming of
# But you cannot stop the rhythm of two hearts in love to stay
# 'Cause you cant stop the beat. #
Everybody, this is my dance
and I want to dedicate it to the world!
# Whip it
# Whoo
# Whip it
# Whoo... #
# Oh oh you can't stop today... # # No. #
# As it comes speeding down the track... #
# Ooh child yes. # # Yesterday is history... #
# Be gone. #
# And it's never coming back. # # Look ahead. #
# 'Cause tomorrow is a brand new day
# And it seems both white and black. #
# Yeah. #
# 'Cause the world keeps spinning round and round

(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
The cast of 'Hairspray The Musical', everybody!
And look what the cat dragged in.
Man, I know!
I can't believe I finally made the final of Australia's Got Talent!
And you didn't even have to perform!
I didn't have to audition.
Oh, but you guys looked like
you were having a ball together. Aren't they amazing?
My goodness. I know.
Yes!
And they dance and sing like that eight times a week.
It brings the house down every single night
and to be amongst that energy is just something else.
So, you guys are going to love it when you come and see it.
Our very own Shane Jacobson is actually in this.
He's starring alongside you and this cast in 'Hairspray',
as Tracey's mum, Edna.
He was a little bit busy judging tonight
to take the stage,
but you know, if you want to see him...
He plays my wife. ..in person.
He does.
Can you believe that is my wife. I am Todd McKenny's wife.
Well everybody will get a chance to see Shane like this.
There I am.
(APPLAUSE AND CHEERS)
Good. (BUZZER SOUND)
David.
I thought it was highly erotic.
So, I will attending every night to see the show.
Alright, well this world-class riot is touring Australia nationally.
The show has had an incredible run in Melbourne
and it's heading to Adelaide from 27 December
and Sydney from 5 February 2023.

Whoo! That means one thing.
We have a winner!

After the break, we crown your new AGT champion.
Do not go anywhere.

For the very last time this year, welcome back to AGT.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
OK, this is the moment we've all been waiting for.
Australia, your AGT judges selected these six acts

Walison Muh.
And Emo Majok.
And one of them will be your winner!
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Judges, any last words to our final six?
Shane?
SHANE: Oh, look, it's that horrible thing
where we want everyone to win
but, of course, that's not how a competition works.
There can only be one winner.
And it is $100,000.
Um, but we do want to say
it's been such a great journey to sit here and watch all of you
do everything you do.
And there's some incredibly different acts up there
but you all deserve to be here, so good luck.
But it's in Australia's hands now and I trust the people of Australia.
(APPLAUSE) Fingers crossed for you.
Alesha.
I have loved watching every single one of you perform.
Thank you for making the journey from the UK to Australia
worth my while.
I do not envy Australia tonight
but I've enjoyed every moment with you guys
and I wish you all the best of luck.
Thank you so much. (CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Kate.
It has been so wonderful to watch all of the acts grow
from the auditions to the semifinals
and then tonight.
Like, what a stellar, what a stellar show.
And such a privilege to have the best seat in the house,
so good luck.
(APPLAUSE)
David.
DAVID: Yes, I could not call it.
I mean, I could see any of these six acts winning tonight.
I mean, it's all about what's going to capture the imagination
of the Australian public at home.
But in the room, you are all winners.
You all did brilliantly tonight so well done.
(CHEERING AND APPLAUSE)
Australia, your votes have been counted
and I have the result right here.
