HAS THE WINNER OF AUSTRALIAN IDOL 2025 BEEN LEAKED?
With 12 contestants left in the competition, fans have been speculating over who will take the crown as this year’s Australian Idol.
After some impressive performances, fans were quick to jump on convinced that the winner this year will be 17-year-old Iilysh Retallick.
“KILLER stage presence + RAD vocals = Rock superstar‼️🔥” one of her fans commented on Instagram.
“This girl is what this show is about, growing each week in voice and confidence. Whatever happens she is a winner. Go the country girl from my neck of the woods👏👏”
“I’ll say it again… THE WINNER 🏆,” another fan commented.
Her performance of Edge of Seventeen by Stevie Nicks, saw her saved by the judges and straight into the top 10.
Before the auditions, host Ricki-Lee Coulter, shared with Chattr, on Iilysh, “There’s a girl. She’s 16 years old, and her name is Iilysh.
“I was talking to her before she went into the audition room, and she was as quiet as a mouse, and I was thinking, ‘This girl is going to go in there, and they’re going to rip her to shreds. They’re not even going to be able to hear her talking because she’s that quiet.’ And she walks into that audition room and floors everyone,” Ricki shared.
Whilst fans were quick to back Iilysh, 16-year-old Gisella Colletti is also a close front-runner!
Gisella started strong, auditioning at Marcina Hines’ show in Perth singing I Am Changing by Jennifer Hudson.
We saw an epic performance of Defying Gravity, and YES she hit that final note perfectly.
Fans were quick to comment on Instagram, with the post hitting a whopping 68K likes.
“She is an incredible singer she deserves to win,” one fan wrote, receiving over 2,000 likes on her comment.
“I wouldn’t be surprised if she won this thing! She’s incredible and how she hit that last note!!” another fan wrote.
“I love Gisella! She reminds me of a young Ariana Grande because she can effortlessly switch between pop and musical theatre. I hope she’s our winner this year ❤️”
