Australian Idol is almost over for another season but our winner still needs to be crowned, with the finale set to air live across Monday and Tuesday, April 13 and 14. As always, the singers have been talented and the eliminations emotional, but we’ve finally whittled it down to three deserving finalists: Harlan, Kalani and Kesha.
Harlan, 18, auditioned for the show while finishing his year 12 exams, proving his commitment paid off.
Kalani is the oldest of the bunch at the ripe old age of 23, and attributed his love of music to his nana Sue, while Kesha, 21, sang with her dad on stage to win a space in the top three last week.
The competition is tight so if you’re eager to have your say on who wins, we’ve quickly put all the Australian Idol finale details in one place so you don’t miss a trick.
