Australia's Got Talent 6 Final - Soul mystique

Despite their tough opposition, Soul Mystique made the final as a judges choice. There, they pulled out all the stops in a bid to win the A$250,000 prize

What did they do?




For the final, Soul Mystique started with a mime routine, then gave us all sorts of clothes changes. They included a giant box which made them disappear, then reappear with different clothes, and all sorts of colourful cloths, suits and dresses. They finished by changing into wedding clothes amidst a shower of confetti. In short, an impressive performance. Soul Mystique have certainly came a long way since they first appeared in series 1, but have they come far enough to win a more competitive series?


What did the judges say?


All three judges gave Soul Mystique a standing ovation. Danni called them "Incredible" and said she couldn't figure their routine out. Kyle called it "spectacular" and praised the increased amount of clothes changes compared to previous routines. Finally, Brian praised the unique nature of the act and called it "mind boggling".


What is the competition like?


Unlike last years series, which was dominated by eventual winner Jack Vidgen,  there are no clear favourites this year, although the amazing gymnastics act Odyssey look the most likely to win. Also looking good are country rock band The Wolfe Brothers and singer-songwriters Joe Moore and Andrew De Silva, of whom the latter, with his more contemporary approach and devoted fan-base, looks the more likely winner. Dance crew Kookies N Kream and beat boxer Genesis are outsiders, but might fare well in the vote. Even stripper Dylan Yeandle, who looks out of place in the final, has a strong fan-base and can't be ruled out. Anyone could win this year.


What are their chances?


As a judges choice in the most competitive of the two Semifinals, Soul Mystique's chances of winning appear to be only moderate, but a strong performance and a solid fan-base mean they could spring an upset. I have a feeling they will be in the top 5 at least.
