Australia's Got Talent 2012 - Seven West Media

INTRODUCTION
The nation’s most watched program of 2011, AUSTRALIA’S GOT TALENT,
makes its anticipated return in 2012 on Monday 16 April at 7:30pm.
A massive 2.98 million Australians watched as 14 year-old
Jack Vidgen was crowned last year’s winner and judges
DANNII MINOGUE, KYLE SANDILANDS, BRIAN MCFADDEN and
host GRANT DENYER have hit the road across the country to
find this year’s new crop of super-stars.
Judge Dannii Minogue says of the auditions this year: “Just when
we think we’ve seen it all something or someone comes out of
no-where and does a truly amazing performance. A star walks on
the stage and wows us. When the whole audience just floats to
their feet after a performance and the rest of the stage seems to
melt away, you know you have just witnessed the birth of a star”.
Kyle Sandilands says “The talent is, as always, diverse. What’s
different this year is that some of the acts we have previously
said no to are back after going away and re-working their
performance. Of course some are still terrible, which of course a
part of me loves, but some have taken our comments on board
and have worked harder to transform their idea and selves into a
proper act. I think the people at home will be blown away by the
weird things that Australians can do!”
After the flood of exceptional talent last year Brian McFadden
firmly believes “that this year is the best talent we have ever had.
We’ve got everything from amazing guitarists, world-class bands,
phenomenal dance troupes and acrobatics. And just to keep
us on track, some jelly wrestling midgets who take Kyle on for
good measure!”
Australian viewers will once again determine the winner of the
$250,000 grand prize. Following the achievements of past winners
Mark Vincent, Justice Crew and Jack Vidgen, along with the
recent local success of Timomatic and Cosentino, the stakes
are high.
