Dannii's Got Talent

Series 6 begins

2012-02-06T18:14:00.000Z

Australia's Got Talent returns for yet another series on a search to find the best Aussie talents.
Dannii confirmed her return via twitter and went to the Gold Coast which is the first stop of the year.

Dannii often says the show is her 'happy pill' and revealed to Grazia that she loves doing it. She said she was looking for something to anchor her to Australia again so that she could live down under with her family.

The auditions are being tightly controlled this year and only the ones who've made it though knows what happens next. The crew and audience are understood to be banned from posting pics and such from the auditions. Dannii does however provide her fans with a fashion update from the auditions.
They're added the the gallery

Next stop is Melbourne.

Before they started 3 acts were chosenn to get a spot in the last part of the series. The audience picked Timomatic and Stuart Biggins. Kyle & Brian picked Majestic which meant Dannii didn't have to vote.

The fab 3 were up on the feet throughout the whole show as acts after act brought our new trick up their sleeves. The performances were in the following order: Chooka Parker, Bree De Rome, Ben Price, David De Vito, Instant Bun Dan Conway, Majestic and Jack Vidgen.

Dannii brought a bit of X Factor to it as she & bad boy Kyle continue to be the Dannii vs Louis Walsh on the show. Making faces and gestures at each other.

A new twist

2011-07-05T18:16:00.000+01:00

It was a majestic ending to the royal Semi Finals. The 5th series of Australia's Got Talent has been different to the others and there is more to come. During the next two weeks there will be a new twist to the show. The 18 acts will compete for a spot in the Grand Final in what they call The Final Showdowns.

The Semi Finals last 8 acts were all impressing but there were 2 acts that really stood out - Tap Kid Ky Baldwin and singer/dancer Timomatic. But before they started 3 more acts were picked from the 5th Semi Final.

The public voted Wayne Rogers and Adam Hines. Then it was between the Bandit and Beau Sargent. Dannii and Kyle both picked the Bandit so he joins the other two in the two part Showdown.

The acts were in the following order: Ky Baldwin, Stuart Biggins, The Flying Lotahs, Jesse Emmanuel, Taiko Drum, SKB, Majestic and Timomatic.

Last Semi coming up

2011-07-01T12:38:00.000+01:00

48 amazing acts were picked by Dannii, Brian & Kyle to join in on the massive 6 Semi Finals of Australia's Got Talent. The standard was sky-high this series and the ratings went through the roof. During the last coule of weeks it slipped a bit, but there is no doubt Aussies are full of talents.

On Tuesday it's time for the 6th and the last on the Semis and then it's Grand Final time!

Aussies can book tickets on Applausestore.com for the Semis starting July 17

On the right path

2011-06-28T17:42:00.000+01:00

It's the 5th Semi of Australia's Got Talent with one more to go before the Grand Final. Dannii and the boys were probably thinking to themselves this could be heaven or this could be hell.

3 more acts were pciked to g on to the big night in 2 weeks time and the public picked Old Fella and Liam Burrows. Dannii, Brian & Kyle had to pick the 3rd and it was between Belle air and Instant Bun. The dance troop won the gold ticket.

The 8 acts that performed were in the following order: Sisters & Misters, African Warriors, Clara Helms, Beau Sargent, Adam Hines, Matty White The Bandit, Jordan Paris and Wayne Rogers.

One act stood act in the most bizarre way, for being the worst act on the shows history.

AGT rocks!

2011-06-21T17:13:00.001+01:00

Well, did you evah?
The 4th Semi Final of Australia's Got Talent took the audience on another sky-high ride. But the dream team of Dannii, Kyle & Brian had some tough decisions to make before it started.

The public voted singers Dan Conway & David De Vito who will join the others in the Grand Final. Then it was up to the fab three to pick their act. It was between the dancing boyband Capree & comedian impersonator Ben Price. Brian picked Capree, Kyle picked Ben and so did Dannii who had the final say on tonights show.

The acts were in the following order:
Replicators, Maccussion, Rod Collins, Instant Bun, Pete the Kalbar Rockstar, Old fella, Belle air and Liam Burrows.

It was a bit of this a little bit of that with dancing and music. Instant Bun might have a bad stage name but they're giving Justice Crew a run for their money. Pete turned AGT to a rock concert with Dannii rocking it and with Kyle clapping along. And Liam brougt back the old style charm with his swing tune.

Au's Got More Talent

2011-06-18T15:28:00.000+01:00

There are 6 Semi Finals of this years Australia's Got Talent. We're halfway now and the last half of the semis are set to bring even more surprises. Take a look at what's coming up on Tuesday:

Dannii admitted in a recent interview that she had doubts about the 5th series. She was afraid that it would be the same as the previous shows.

On the first day of filming, I said to the producers, 'I don't know where the show is going, I don't know who we're going to see, I have to tell you I don't have confidence in it, I'm worried that we're going to see the same stuff.

Shows like Australia's Got Talent don't work unless you have those amazing people walk through the door and it's a pretty tough thing to say but I thought I needed to be honest with them.

Luckily for Dannii this years series has turned out to be the best one yet and it's going to be one heck of a Grand Final.

Royal Variety

2011-06-14T18:28:00.001+01:00

The 3rd Semi Final of AGT was purely entertainment royalty, including the telly queen herself. There was however another queen in the show. Impersonator Tom as Freddie Mercury kicked off the show and seven more talented acts took the stage. The last one out was Dan Conway who looked more like a guest star than a contestant. That's how good the talent is this year.

But before it all began 3 acts were picked to go on to the Grand Final. The public picked Chooka and Cosentino. The 3rd act was picked by Dannii and Brian but not Kyle. Benchmark was given a gold ticket while Kyle's pick Uprising were sent home.

The line was in the following order: KLD X-Treme Air Force, Hazel Phillips, Dangerboy & Ivy, Steve Romig,Uprising,Benchmark,Cosentino and last but not least,Chooka.

Because of the amount of talents this year, the rules have been changed. Instead of two acts going through to the Grand Final there are now three acts. Two by the public and one act picked by the judges.

The public voted Jack Vidgen & Bree De Rome and Dannii, Brian & Kyle picked Team Rocket who will join them in the big finale.

It was the last of the auditions and hopefuls were trying their very best to make a last impression on Dannii, Kyle and Brian.

Some succeeded and some did not. On this show you can expect the unexpected and clearly nothing is what it seems. It's even educational although the subject might come as a surprise to the listener...

Yesterday Australia's Got Talent topped the TV chart again. Today's episode was perhaps filled with slightly less talented people but those who were certainly stood out.

How often do we get to see Dannii wrapped up in a giant bubble? Or when was the last time you saw a Michael Jackson talent sing Justin Bieber? The Olympics girls with glitter was another treat just to mention a few. And dancers are in - no question about that. Then there was a little bit of striptease, so, something for everyone.

Next week it's the last of the auditions and then it's decision time where the viewers will get to find out who made it to the semi finals.

Defying gravity

Where do they all come from? Maybe they're aliens like Kyle said...Australia's Got talent's 5th show offered even more talents and they come in all ages and sizes. Some XXL and some XXS.

And who said getting older is a drag? As it turns out, they're the coolest of them all, hanging 1000 metres in the air or telling jokes better than most stand up comedians. And there seems to be a lot of love for Frank Sinatra.

Then there are the judges. Dannii, Brian & Kyle can go from being supersoft one minute to harsh the next. Dannii got wowed by some boys and will the next big boyband be Australian? When you're a mix of Justice crew & Backstreet boys - it's a possibility. Or maybe Jimi Hendrix has family living down under, because last years reject Tom showed some rare magic fingers missing from the biz.

Simon Cowell is in the US where he's searching for the next big thing. But it looks like he's in the wrong country because Australia's Got Talent keep on bringing out one talented act after another. Magicians, singers who cover rock to Sinatra and many more all wow Dannii, Brian & Kyle. This year anyone could be crowned the winner.

Yesterday they topped the TV chart even beating Masterchef and it's not hard to see why Aussies love the show. The acts are worldclass and the judges takes part in the fun, appearing on stage which makes it very entertaining.

Thunder & lightning! The 3rd episode of Australia's Got Talent was full of sparkle. Maybe too much...When Doctor Electric appeared Dannii went hiding behind her manager Melissa and the diva was more concered over the safety about the person behind rather than judging the act itself.

A little bit later things lightened up with a pig race. Dannii, Brian & Kyle picked a colour and off they went. Dannii's pink little pig won the race. The show continues to showcase all kinds of talent such as 'Majestic' who really showed body talent.

The second episode of Australia's Got Talent was a bit of the freak factor with strange acts showing off their special skills.

Dannii has got one as well and its not something many would do. When a woman appeared on stage with her snake friends Dannii was brought up to see if they were real. So she wrapped one of the reptiles around her neck just like she was putting on a scarf and went chasing Brian who hide behind a little girl.

Kyle was missing from the first part of the show so Dannii and Brian had to do without him, even bringing on a guest judge like a young rapper's mum.

It's hard to believe, but the Dannii Minogue show also known as Australia's Got Talent is about to hit the screens again in Oz.

It's the 5 series of the show with the last series being the most successful series yet. Brian McFadden and Kyle Sandilands joined Dannii as they travelled the country to search for the next big thing. As a result the viewers crowned dance troop Justice Crew as winners who have become big in their home country after the show.

Coming no 2 isn't a bad thing, it certainly wasn't for Cameron Henderson. He got a recording deal shortly after and proudly sent a message to Dannii on twitter thanking her for her support.

The Verdict

2010-06-15T11:53:00.006+01:00

Dance divas Disco & Justice Crew

Australian's have crowned the next big thing which is...
Justice Crew! The talented dance team impressed from the beginning of the show til the very end. So while the Aussies were said to be looking out for a new Susan Boyle, they went for dance.
Our own dance diva was looking mighty fine in her own Project D sequined casino dress.

Gifted singer Cameron Hendersen got all the way to no 2 and even if he didn't get the 250,000, he will be singing the national anthem @ the AFL Grand Final.

Last week the show hit to sky with over 1,8 million tuning in to see the show. Because of that the ended up as no 2 in the overall weekly TV chart.

Updated! Almost 2 million watched the big show last night. 1,939 000 wanted to see who would be the winner. On twitter teens and adults took turns in shouting for the show. With the weekly reports now it's been said that 1,955 000 million watched Justice Crew win.

To honour the talent show, Dannii added a little competition on the tube for fans where they have to show off their own singing talents.

Running a little competition on You Tube in honour of Tuesday night's Australia's Got Talent Grand Final announcement. Post your 20-30 second audition 'video response' on my You Tube channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/danniiminogueonline).

4th Semi Final

Emotional Dannii

Just a week to go before the Grand Final where Dannii, Kyle & Brian will crown this years best talent. The 4th semi offered a lot of variety acts with excitements but also tears.

In 2007 when Dannii first appeared on X Factor in the U.K, she was completely taken by Rhydian Roberts version of 'Somewhere'. Shocked Brits who weren't used to seeing someone emotional on set were stunned by Dannii's open heart. Yesterday, the Aussies got to see a piece of this big hearted girl.

Father & son Cameron and Taylor first appeared as a duo but the judges suggested they would try solo acts instead. When father Cameron came on singing his own written song 'three beautiful people' dedicated to his family, there wasn't a dry eye in the room.
Dannii couldn't hold back her tears and said that he is the perfect example of ageless talent and she thanked him for performing in front of her. Dannii said he is the reason she loves her job so much.

But the show was far more than tears. The badpiper was back, shorty D, Alana, River City Crumbles, Taylor, Mini Bike Stunt Team and Pure Pole Angels.

Two more lucky winners where selected for next week Final. Aimee and Brianna.

The show went up a lot in ratings, even if Masterchef is still eating everything in it's way. Comparing it to the magical 2nd series, it's getting close.

Sith vs Jedi is very entertaining!

They are getting near the end of Australia's Got talent. The 3rd Semi Final offered a lot of talents and while Brian & Kyle questioned the talents of 'Sith vs the Jedi', he made Dannii laugh like no other. In fact, Princess Dannii couldn't stop! Not only was she laughing @ this entertaining act but also because he made Brian scared!

Big favourites were back such as young Brianna, Kim Pickering-Jones, Aimee and the Blackbirds. Comedian Matt, kiddy act Parental Guidance recommended and even Swing chesters also impressed the judges.

The two acts picked for the Grand Final were Justice Crew and the Adam the magician.
Once again, it's up to the viewers to decide who's got The X Factor.

Muscle-man Obi from The Twine digs D's comment

If Elvi wins, Dannii will resign as a judge on Australia's Got Talent. Harsch words from her there, but judging by the talents that were on this weeks shows, she was absolutely right.
Young Bobby and Rolling Entertainment took the first places in the Grand Final, so who will be next?
The viewers can choose between a variety of acts such as a magician, a robot-man, Adil & Maimuna, Family band Twine and dance troops such as Justice Crew.

The second Semi dropped a bit of viewers, but it's still up on last years show. It's however quite a bit down on the magical 2nd series.

AUSTRALIA'S GOT TALENT Seven 1,344,000

It doesn't matter to them because they're preparing to get X Factor on the road and of course they asked super-judge Dannii what it's like as they plugged the upcoming brand new series of the Oz Factor. She gave Kyle who is appointed judge on the show some advices.
Their version will differ quite a bit from regular XF shows. Instead of 2 males and 2 females they will have 3 males and only 1 female.

It was another great week for Australia's Got Talent. Dannii's happy pill was no 5 in the overall TV chart.
Working with Kyle Sandilands and Brian McFadden has been a blast for the lady and apparently also for Brian.
Speaking to reporters, the Irish popstar said:

Dannii is really beautiful. I didn’t know how things were going to go because she’s such a professional, and Kyle and I are quite loose together. She`s been enjoying it and having a laugh with us, she`s awesome.

Yesterday Dannii, Kyle & Brian all filmed the first parts of the Semi Finals. Thanks to today's modern editing, here's the brand new ad featuring tomorrow's first Semi of Australia's Got Talent.

Who has got The X Factor this series?

Double trouble

2010-05-09T10:26:00.004+01:00

Over in the U.K Dannii dubbed the twins from Ireland, John & Edward, the double divas.
It looks like she has two new divas on her hand and they're both trouble.
A few dags ago Brian McFadden was causing headlines because he told a contestant to F-Off back to England. Today it's Kyle Sandilands who is the bad boy. According to papers Kyle mocked a disabled contestant named Glen Fisher. Fisher deeply upset by the treatment said only Dannii voted for him.

A spokesperson for Seven said:

Mr Fisher’s recall of events is inaccurate.The performance of his original song was not good enough and did not make the show.
To suggest any mistreatment by the production team or the judges is simply wrong.

The show keeps it steady rating landing @ no 6 in the weekly rating round ups

Semi final gossip

2010-05-05T11:03:00.003+01:00

There are no videos up yet on the tube of the selected Semi Finalists for fans to watch , nor does the official website have any information on who went through.
The last audition show was filled with wide variety of acts, singers, dancers,etcc. Aussie's even have their own JEdward in the shape of twins John & Steven.
But there are two acts grabbing headlines today.

The punk piper - or as he is called - The bad piper, is making the scottish instrument the coolest ever. Especially when he stated to play 99 red ballons showing a bit of manly pride while playing it...

Dance troop Justice Crew made it all the way to the Semi's starting next week and are a big favourite amongst the viewers.

Both acts are non-singing acts which comes as a surprise to many as everyone has been talking about the singing sensation Susan Boyle effect.

The ratings are steady keeping the show in the top leage.
Yesterday's show was seen by 1,461,000.

Dannii loves her TV boys

2010-05-03T10:45:00.005+01:00

Tomorrow it's the last day of auditions on Australia's Got Talent. After that, Dannii, Kyle Sandilands & Brian McFadden will start judging for real, because the next shows will be the Semi Finals.

Brian has had quite a week causing headlines in Oz as well as the U.K for slamming a British contestant on the show. The Irish singer told the woman to F-off back to England and she was on TV talking about him and the judges.

Brian-gate was big but it wasn't exactly Dannii-gate from last years X Factor. You know when Dannii commented on Danyl Johnson's lyrics change? The comment went global causing a mix of rage and admiration depending on how you felt on the subject.

Ms Minogue however loves her new TV boys. She told TV Week that she never knows what they will do next.

I like the fact that I'm never sure exactly what the boys will do. One minute I'm stopping a fight between contestant and a judge, and the next I'm 'the hard one' for not letting someone through when the two boys have all gone to jelly

So who is her favourite?

If Kyle is reading this then I'll say Kyle, and if Brian is reading this then I'll say Brian! The fact is that they work incredibly well as a team. I'm never bored watching them and listening to them.

Fire walk with me

The 3rd show of Australia's Got Talent was smoking hot. Dannii, Brian & Kyle made more star spottings of talented Aussie's. They started off in Perth, then they went to Sydney. From Sydney they went from Brisbane and then they went back to Perth.
All thanks to the wonders of television editing.

It was dangerously exciting which could have gone really wrong as 'Mini bike stunt team' almost had the set go up in flames. But even though Dannii and the boys had to cough their way through their comments, it was a yes.

Stand out acts had to be Opera singer Amiee Elizabeth and how about 7 year old piano genious Shuan Hern Lee. The little boy impressed the judges so much that they had to walk up on stage to see his little fingers working thier magic. The wonderwoman met a wonderchild and Dannii told him that he was the most talented person she has ever seen in her life.

Dannii bows for the wonderboy

The show also gave a preview of next weeks episode which will be the last of auditions. Then it's decision time. Who will make it to the Semi Finals and who will win the Grand Final?

Once again it had great strong ratings, even slightly higher than last weeks, reaching out to 1,474 000. Peaks are not posted.

It was a tough night for Australia's Got Talent. Also airing the same time was super-hyped Masterchef. The cooking show has been a huge hit with over 3 million viewers last season. Tonight, they still won the ratings battle. Masterchef airs Sunday to Friday but while MC dropped a bit, Dannii's show didn't drop much @ all from last week.

The second show of Australia's Got Talent was mighty fine. Loads of entertaining acts. First they went to Brisbane to check out what they had to offer. It turned out to be plenty! Dannii, Kyle & Brian were all amazed by 'Pure pole angels' and what they could do pole dancing. Other acts that impressed them as well as the audience were 'The Twine', kiddy act 'Parental guidence recommended' and a gorgeous man choir 'The Blenders'.

Yeah baby! or............................OK, pls stop...

The second half was back in Sydney. The talents were @ first...not so great. Dr Shelly Sykes wasn't so sexy, the doggy act game wasn't a hit (although Dannii did ask to see which dog would win) and Elias Majdalani wasn't the greatest dancer.
Then a country singer named Grant Richardson came along woowing the judges and how about 67 year old Antonio Zonta. The Australian/Italian man sang opera with a clear voice finally showing that Sydney did have talent. As did belly dancer Farah cicekdag who made Dannii,Brian & Kyle almost speachless working her magic.

Dannii on her 4th series of the show has really come to an ease in front of the camera. Still spot on with her comments and very entertaining to watch.
She can pull a million different faces for one act!

In the U.K there are talks about her money Factor, often the less Factor. That doesn't seem to be the case in Oz. A newspaper today reports that Ms Minogue is getting the huge sum of AUD 1 million.

Episode 2

Talent mania

2010-04-18T10:39:00.002+01:00

The first show of Australia's Got Talent has already made quite an impact. The new judging panel was approved, Dannii is better than ever and so are the talents.
We've had Kim Pickering-Jones who has already reached the U.K who are keeping an eye on Ms Minogue's other talent show. She is being compared to her idol Susan Boyle who became a worldwide senastion after appearing on Britain's Got Talent.

Now the Hendersen boys from Geelong are making headlines. The Father & Son duo sang Michael Jackson's 'Man in the mirror' to Dannii, Kyle Sandilands & Brian McFadden but they were equally good on their own so now they're competing against each other.

Last years winner Mark Vincent also popped up, singing on Sunrise proving that Australia really has got talent.

Dannii, currently heavily pregnant in U.K, has confirmed that she will return to Oz in May for the live shows!

Dannii, Kyle & Brian in trouble

2010-04-15T14:48:00.002+01:00

A woman who auditioned for Australia's Got Talent has slammed the judges for the comments they gave her as she walked up on the stage.
Kyle Sandilands mocked Melbourner Heather Cook's weight and questioned if she was a man or a woman.
Square dancing caller Darren Taylor says his group members were ridiculed as soon as they came out on stage

I have never experienced anything like it before.
I've been calling for 22 years. I know that it has a bad reputation as being a bit 'yeehaw' and that's why I was concerned about going on in the first place.
We didn't apply. They called us and said they really wanted square dancers this year because they wanted it to be a community show.

But as soon as we walked out Brian (McFadden) buzzed us. He said one of our girls looked like a toilet-roll doll. Dannii (Minogue) also zeroed in on what we were wearing and Kyle said I had my jumper tucked into my pants.

It was embarrassing. When we finished we had to stand there for minutes while the audience laughed at us.

A Seven spokeswoman said judging was no harsher than previous years.

Introduction of Ms Dannii Minogue on the new series of Australia's Got Talent

Australia Has Got Talent

2010-04-14T03:46:00.000+01:00

Fremantle Oz has removed DJ Dingo's clip and therefor we can not provide recaps.
The official site of AGT has clips and recaps but sadly not for fans outside Australia.

The show did really well.
Because of nine's clever promotion for their programmes, It wasn't no 1.
It was however up on the previous series with almost 200,00 proving the new format and judging panel does work.
Seven's producer Stevie K. Murray spoke to Sydney Morning Herald's Guide about the changes:

Simon Cowell felt the show needed to come into line with how the show was made globally

1,5 million viewers watched it and the talent who captured them most of all was the Father & son duo Taylor and Cameron Henderson - from Geelong.

Seven's news programs are hooked on Aussie's own susan boyle, Kim Pickering-Jones.
The 'Subo' wannabe impressed Dannii, Kyle & Brian with her clear opera voice.

New format?

2010-04-12T15:43:00.003+01:00

Tomorrow is the premiere of the brand new series of Australia's Got Talent. The show has always rated well. The first series did well, the second was a smash making it the highest rated entertainment show on Aussie TV and the third did well too.
Now it's revamped, with the help of Dannii's demands, and she's got two new boys onboard the panel.

Kyle Sandilands was a judge on Australian Idol but was axed from the show for being too controversial. The Radio DJ is known to speak his mind which also got him suspended from his own radio show - The Kyle & Jackie O show.
Dannii filled in for Kyle while he was away. She is not afraid of his comments and had spoken to him earlier about the show. Kyle said he was interested and his bad luck turned into good luck as he was offered a spot next to Dannii.

He is bringing best friend Brian McFadden onboard. The Irish popstar was part of Westlife many moons ago but decided to leave the group and try out showbiz on his own. He is now an Aussie boy engaged to Aussie popstar Delta Goodrem. Brian says his passion is music but that he couldn't resist doing this 'fun' show.

Judging by the new ads and promo's, it looks like it could be the best series yet.
The set is new, the panel is delightfully fresh and does it have a new format?
According to today's/tomorrow's Confidential Dannii, Kyle & Brian will film the rest of the show next month. They also add this:

She will return for the live judging shows, which take over from the pre-recorded auditions next month

Going by what has reported these past few weeks, they already have their own 'Subo' (Susan Boyle) in wanna-be 'K-pick' (Kim Pickering-Jones)
The Got Talent is a smash worldwide this year and they've got tough competition with the Taiwanese version who's finding talent after talent such as YouTube hit Lin Yu Chun. With Britain's version kicking off soon, can they match Simon Cowell's success and find Australia a worldwide SuperStar?

Tune in tomorrow @ 7.30pm on Channel 7 to find out.

'Kyle's like a big brother'

2010-04-09T09:43:00.003+01:00

There's a lot of love going on with the class of 2010 on Australia's Got Talent. Dannii adores Brian McFadden in her own way and he feels the same way about his sneaky witty little co-judge.

Yesterday on Kyle's radio show, his co-host Jackie O wanted to know all about Ms Minogue's and Sandilands relationship. Do they get on? It turns out that they do get on.
Dannii told Jackie that she loves his beautiful eyes.
Kyle had noticed how the disco lady has been looking deeper and deeper and said he immediately started to think that if he wasn't with someone and she wasn't with Kris then maybe..?
But Dannii sees the bad boy DJ, who appears to have a softer skin than people would imagine, as a big brother.

Dannii vs. Brian

2010-04-08T17:28:00.002+01:00

A week before the premeire of the new Australia's Got Talent, things are starting to heat up on set. Media reporters picked up Ms Minogue's and Brian McFadden's little friendly feud.
While interviewed on set of the new series, Brian told the reporter

Dannii's not soft at all. People would expect her to be mum-like but she's pretty hard. When we met she looked in my eyes and said, 'I'm trying to see what Delta sees in you.'

No hard feelings though. Brian likes his feisty little co-judge

She has this sneaky wit. I love that about her. She's really grown on me. She's great.

Over to you Kyle!

TV premiere

2010-04-07T10:38:00.002+01:00

The brand new series of Australia's Got Talent will premiere on channel 7 April 13.
Dannii and her new TV boys Kyle & Brian will be judging together for the first time and find out if Australia's has any talent.

The first show will be a little bit special. Seven has extended the original 90 minutes to 100 minutes.

DJ Dingo will continue his recaps of the show for those outside Oz.
You will find those on his YouTube channel.

Gossip

2010-04-06T15:10:00.005+01:00

DJ Dingo went to Perth to check out a certain Ms Minogue and Australia's Got Talent.

"The show was awesome with a great assortment of acts from surprisingly brilliant to simply awful.
A seven year old boy played "Flight of the bumble bee" so pefectly on the piano that all 3 judges got up from their chairs and walked onto the stage to watch him play.
Another young fellow surprised us with his rapping and break dance skills so much that Kyle wanted to take him to New York.
In between the acts we had great entertainment from the warm up guy (Dave Eastgate) and the judges mucking around having fun too.
A totally enjoyable night." Dingo said of his experience.

Dannii, Kyle & Brian were on Today/Tonight talking about the new set, why they don't want a Susan Boyle and Dannii said this year is a tricky one for her as she would like to be with Kris and their soon to be born first child.

Watch the video of them talking on our Daily Motion channel

Has Perth Got Talent?

2010-04-01T08:36:00.003+01:00

Dannii arrived to Perth for the last rounds of auditions. With new TV boys Kyle & Brian they were there to find out if the town has any talent. The West Australia newspaper spoke to the judges:

'The elfin Dannii Minogue looked elegantly groomed in a black figure hugging number with loose floral panel proudly showing off her baby bump.
The fact she'd just flown in from Sydney and was booked to fly out after the last auditions yesterday in time for Seven's Good Friday Appeal, didn't ruffle her.
No, she's not afraid the baby will make an appearance during the show, given it's not due till July. After the event, she said, motherhood is taking over and she's "shutting off".

But will Australia find its own Susan Boyle? And will Sandilands be as vile and crass as we all know he can be? Or has he learnt his lesson?
"Idol was such a good avenue for talent and it's a shame it's not back," he says. He doesn't feel the same pressure on Talent as he did on Idol, he reveals, but it depends what mood he's in.
"You get what you get. If I'm in a bad mood, like I was in Brisbane, I might be a bit tough - but that was only because the family was hassling me to go out for lattes and things."
Then he turns to Dannii and says: "But you're a lot tougher than I expected." There's no doubt Minogue's experience on Simon Cowell's other TV juggernaut, The X Factor, makes her the TV veteran of the three.
"We've had a few dramas. It's a volatile show because you never know what's going to turn up," she says - and then the three are laughing about a certain "water-melon man" whose act we probably won't see in the finals.

On the Susan Boyle question, Minogue says they're not looking for any repeats. The slate is clean, they're after new talent.

Kyle definitely looks to be the dominating judge. Former Westlife crooner and new boy to the talent-judging game, McFadden looks like he might be a little out of his depth, although he says: "It's not really that hard. I'll give it a go. I mean you couldn't really turn down one of the biggest shows on TV."

Behind the scenes of AGT

2010-03-29T09:50:00.003+01:00

In this week's TV Week, they go behind the scenes with the people of Australia's Got Talent and new judge Brian McFadden. Producer Steve K Murray says this series will be the best one ever. The viewers will get to see more of the contestants, better talents and apparently also a softer side to bab boy Kyle Sandilands.

Is Dannii Ms Nasty? Brian seems to think so. He told the paper that he was surprised @ how hard she is.

I would have thought that the hormones would have made her a little bit more soft, but they're actually making her harder!

This may not come as a surprise to Dannii fans. When Ms Minogue joined The X Factor in the U.K, boss Simon Cowell was on Radio 2 speaking about his 'nasty' honest little judge.

It's like finding out I have a daughter or something

Talents hope to impress the judges

2010-03-17T08:57:00.002Z

Next stop on Dannii, Brian & Kyle's roadshow to find the best Aussie talent is Brisbane.
Pole dancing champion Emma McDonald (Dannii is gonna love her!) is hoping for of course - pole position.

I’ve never been on television before so I’m very nervous.

Last weekend Emma won the title of Miss Sexpo Queensland after competing in Brisbane at the national competition. She has also been placed second in Miss Pole Dance Australia and the Australian Pole Dance Championships.
Emma advanced to the television round of auditions for Australia’s Got Talent after first submitting an audition tape via YouTube.

Another talent who is hoping for luck is Stuart Hartley.
The IPSWICH impersonator says he loves making people laugh and has quite an interesting background.

I’m a former professional boxer and lay preacher.
My nickname in the ’90s was ‘the punching preacher’.

Hartley is positive he'll make it all the way saying 'stranger things has happened.

It's always nerve wracking meeting celebrity judges and even Kyle said he was worried about meeting Dannii. The fact that she has been in the biz since she was a child, is a pro and working on Europe's biggest talent show made the cocky radio DJ a little bit nervous.

Sneak peak

2010-03-13T12:34:00.003Z

Sunday Herald Sun went backstage with Dannii and the new judges Kyle Sandilands & Brian McFadden. Ms Minogue spoke about her baby & filming in Australia and how she tries to manage it all.

I've always loved this show and there have been certain things that have drawn me back here, and the show has fitted in with that. It gives me a lot of personal family time being back home and of course I want to have the baby here,
I wasn't sure if I would be able to do all this on top of that (having the baby), but it seems to be OK so far.

Her new TV boys are equally thrilled to join the panel. Brian explained:

To be honest I wouldn't have done it if it wasn't with these two guys. I thought. This is going to be an amazing panel. I wouldn't want to do it with people I don't like. We're just having a laugh and enjoying it.

Kyle got a bit confused about the SMS from Dannii when she delivered the baby news. He thought it might have been for her sister Kylie and not Kyle because they have similar names.

The trio were in Melbourne today filming more auditions. Fans were there with their cameras and Leo from Melbourne managed to film them as they arrived and left the place.

2010-02-17T17:43:00.003Z

Dannii has welcomed her two new TV boys Kyle Sandilands & Brian McFadden onboard the got talent train.
Kyle may have a reputation of being a bad guy, but that doesn't scare Dannii one bit.

‘‘I’m no stranger to the shaking up of a judging panel. After judging on The X Factor panel alongside Simon Cowell, Kyle will be a pussycat’’

Brian joins Dannii & Kyle

2010-02-16T13:18:00.002Z

Brian McFadden is now confirmed to be taken the 3rd chair on Australia's Got Talent. He will replace Red Symons just as Kyle Sandilands replaced Tom Burlington.
But don't expect any feuds between the 3 judges. Brian says they all l'ike each other'. Instead the Irish popstar says they will be hard on the contestants instead.

"Dannii might have to take a mothering approach to some of them. Me and Kyle, if we see something stupid we will just laugh.
We are hoping Dannii can hold it together for us."

Dannii will return at the end of this month to start preparing for the series and catch up with her new TV boys.

Dannii confirmed

2010-02-07T16:19:00.003Z

Australia really does have talent
We've seen the success of Paul Potts, the winner of Britains Got Talent.
Now young Opera sensation Grace will release her album this coming fall, and she's got big names to her CD.

The winner of this years series, Mark Vincent has already relased his debut album.
It went straight to no 2 in the Australian charts (only held off by Michael Jackson) and has already been certified Platinum!, proud judge Dannii reported on her blog.

Dannii does it better

2009-05-18T10:16:00.005+01:00

There are many in showbiz who gets inspired by Dannii, both in her look and how she dresses.

But it's almost only Amanda Holden who halfhearted admitted she's been trying to get her style.

The Swedish Got Talent "Talang" is very Dannii inspired. Their female judge Charlotte Perelli has gone for Dannii's 2008 look on AGT and her comments are almost identical to Dannii's from the second series.

What makes Dannii Xtra special is her passion, her wide range of talents and knowledge.

Her sense of style is very carefully planned and she knows what suits her and which colours to use. Her confident way of presenting herself is indeed very inspiring.

'That X Factor is when you find yourself'", Disco said once.

And who could be a better mentor and coach to achieve that then Dannii?

Mark's Got Talent

2009-05-01T09:36:00.003+01:00

Australia's newest star, Mark Vincent, has landed himself a record deal with Sony.

Australia's Got Talent second Grand Final show, and the announcement of the winner gave the show a very nice finish to a great run. This year the show was put on a low ratings night, Wednesday, but it still managed to get on top. The massively promoted So you think you can dance was said to beat Dannii's show, but it was AGT who came out on top.

This with almost no promo @ all.

Sadly, it's blocked for us outside.

Last time was a bit heated as Red Symons walked out on the performance of two kids dancing. Dannii came to the rescue and the show went on.

Watching Dannii's comments on the show since the first series, you notice just how much she is aware of entertaining. How a show should be done, the improvement of the vocals and what brings the overall X Factor in showbiz.

Will your fav go through & who will be the judges choice?

Who's got talent?

2009-02-20T15:04:00.004Z

ASKED to name a standout on this season of Australia's Got Talent, songstress Dannii Minogue pauses.
Eventually she lists a pair of opera singers, a comedian and a dancer, admitting she can’t get past one contestant who had a unique way of delivering song.
“A favourite of mine was definitely the man who came on and sang through Cheezels. It boggles me, but I love it. I query why I am so into it, and why it makes me giggle.”

Sitting in the judge’s chair for the third season of AGT, Minogue admits differing levels of enjoyment attached to the show, not least the chance it gives her to return home each summer.

“It’s my glorious summer break that’s for sure,” Minogue says from the make-up chair prior to filming the program’s first semi-final. I’ve done my time of British winters – it’s nice to spend time with family, my brother and his kids."

Joining Minogue for her summer sojourn is her new boyfriend, former British rugby league professional Kris Smith.
“I get to be tourist all of over again. We’re here for a few months and there’s loads of stuff I want to do with him.
“He talks about being scared of swimming and I can’t blame him – every few days there’s been something on the TV or in the paper about shark attacks.”

Minogue’s televisual turn on AGT has provided the 37-year-old with a new career. She still sings – is set to write some tracks with The Freemasons in the coming months – but has created a lucrative gig as a TV talent judge. In the UK, Minogue still sits in the mentor chair on ratings powerhouse The X Factor, a job she admits proved emotional in 2008.

Fellow mentor Louis Walsh attacked Minogue in the press, stating “heartless” while calling for her sacking. This followed a season of abuse from former X Factor colleague Sharon Osbourne, who was replaced in 2008 by Cheryl Cole.
“It can all get very emotional and everyone’s so highly strung. Louis is always giving it a go.
“It’s the only way he can get in the press these days … I always say to him: ‘They don’t talk about you, just what you have to say about me’.”

She’s unsure about her future with the program, although she says her time working alongside Cowell has opened doors for her Stateside.

“Just being on his shows, sitting next to him, and learning from him has opened up a world of opportunities for me, particularly in America.
“I’ve had a few trips there the past 12 months and normally you have to explain who you are and what you do. But as soon as you say: ‘I work with Simon on the X Factor,’ they get it.

“It feels like it’s fast-tracking me to I don’t know. I didn’t have any plan to come on and start judging – it wasn’t something I was going after. I got the call, and not I’m sure where it will lead. But I have a feeling maybe one day I’ll go into production and write my own show ideas, so this is just the most crazy ‘money can’t buy experience’ to be around these people and learn from them.”

But Minogue says she’ll be back on AGT next year, eager for another unusual talent to have her laughing.
