Perth Teen Gisella Colletti Lights Up Australian Idol 2025 Finale
Hey everyone, I have to talk about something huge happening in Aussie entertainment right now — the Australian Idol 2025 grand finale! And at the heart of it all is none other than 17-year-old Gisella Colletti from Perth, who’s captured the nation’s heart and is now just a step away from making history. If she wins, she’ll be the first ever Australian Idol champion from Western Australia — and the first female to take the crown since the show’s reboot in 2023.
Can you imagine the pressure she’s under right now? Gisella, a Year 12 student from Corpus Christi College, is up against two strong contenders — fellow 17-year-old Iilysh Retallick from New South Wales and 19-year-old Marshall Hamburger from Queensland. But she’s not going down without a fight. Over the weekend, Gisella rallied support from all over WA, encouraging people to vote up to 10 times by texting her name to 0457 500 700. She’s got the whole state behind her — even WA Premier Roger Cook gave her a shoutout, saying, “Western Australians are so proud of Gisella… she’s an amazing talent.”

And honestly, she proved it last night on stage. Gisella absolutely nailed her performance of Whitney Houston’s “How Will I Know” — pink sparkle outfit and all — and followed it up with a duet alongside none other than Australian music icon Tina Arena. The two sang “Heaven Help My Heart,” and the judges were blown away, giving them a standing ovation. That’s not just talent — that’s star power.
What’s even cooler? Her school has gone all-in with support — bells ringing out her songs, hallways decorated, the whole vibe just screams pride and excitement. Her family even set up a live watch party at The Victoria Park Hotel for the finale, bringing the community together to cheer her on in real time. It’s heartwarming stuff.
And get this — Gisella opened up about her journey and admitted she used to struggle with serious stage fright. To see her now, absolutely owning the biggest stage in the country? That’s inspiring beyond words. She wasn’t even expecting to make it to the top three — now she’s potentially hours away from changing her life forever.
So if you haven’t already, there’s still time (depending on when you’re reading this) to get those votes in and help Gisella bring the Australian Idol title home to WA. Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just love a good underdog story, this is one of those moments you’ll want to say you were part of. Let's go, Gisella! WA is behind you all the way.
