Editing Young Talent Time (section)

==''Young Talent Time'' (2012)==
[[Network Ten]] and [[Granada Australia]] - in conjunction with Johnny Young and Johnny Young Music - were the producers of a revival of ''Young Talent Time''. Taped before a live studio audience at Fox Studios in Sydney, the 15-episode series debuted on Network Ten across Australia at 6.30 pm on Sunday 22 January 2012.

Hosted by former ''[[Australian Idol 2003]]'' contestant [[Rob Mills]], the 2012 revival featured a regular Young Talent Team (of 10 members) performing a couple of group numbers each week, with one team member featuring in a solo spot each episode to showcase their individual talents. Starting from Episode 10, duets were sung instead of solos as each team member had performed a solo.

Each weekly episode featured three or four young contestants (or acts) under the age of 16. These solo performers, duos, groups, etc., included singers, dancers (ballet, hip hop, tap, jazz, etc.), musicians, sight acts, illusionists, comedians and so on.<ref>[http://www.tvtonight.com.au/2011/08/who-will-host-young-talent-time-for-ten.html Who will host Young Talent Time for TEN?], 13 August 2011 By David Knox, TV Tonight</ref> The winning contestant (or act) each week received $5,000 from NAB (National Australia Bank) and the Grand Final winner received $100,000.

The show's two judges/mentors were the original show's longest-serving Young Talent Team member [[Tina Arena]] (who appeared from 1977 to 1983 – six years 6 Months), and Filipino-American choreographer [[Charles Klapow]], one of the winners of the [[Emmy Award]] for 'Outstanding Choreography' for ''[[High School Musical 2]]''. Better known as 'Chucky' Klapow, he also helped choreograph the films ''[[Cheetah Girls 2]], [[High School Musical]] and [[High School Musical 3: Senior Year]]'' as well as appearing in all three ''[[High School Musical]]'' movies as a dancer. He has choreographed for [[Mick Jagger]] and dances alongside [[Michael Jackson]] in the film ''[[Michael Jackson's This Is It]]''. Klapow had previously been a judge on UK talent show ''[[Don't Stop Believing (TV series)|Don't Stop Believing]]''. TV Personality [[Ian Dickson (TV personality)|Ian Dickson]] filled in as judge while [[Tina Arena]] was ill for one episode. From the beginning of the finals competition he served as a full-time judge.

While the judges decided the winning contestant (or act) of each weekly episode, viewers could vote online for any of the weekly runners-up to become a 'wild-card' entrant, giving them a second chance of making it into the finals. On 20 March, it was announced that ''YTT'' would move to Fridays at 7:30 to 8:30, the current time slot of Glee. It is believed ''YTT'' was moved because of poor ratings on Sunday night resulting in the much more popular program ''The Biggest Loser'' taking the 6:30 to 7:30 timeslot. The YTT team then commenced a tour having shows in Melbourne, Sydney and Canberra. The Grand Final episode was aired on 4 May. The talent quest was won by first heat entrants and wildcard winners Lil' Banditz Krew. The all-boys Hip Hop troupe toured with the YTT team and Rob Mills in June and July 2012, visiting various Sydney venues as well as Melbourne and Canberra.

''YTT'' was not renewed for a 2013 season because of poor ratings. However, such team members as Aydan Calafiore and Adrien Nookadu went on to have music careers and Georgia-May Davis worked with [[Disney Channel Australia]]. Lyndall Wennekes later starred on ''The Voice'' in 2015, Adrien Nookadu on ''The X Factor'' in 2014. Aydan Calafiore appeared on ''Australia's Got Talent'' in 2013 and auditioned for the 2017 and 2018 seasons of The Voice, being unable to turn a chair in 2017 but turning all four chairs in 2018. Aydan joined Joe Jonas' and ultimately placed 4th place on ''The Voice'', which resulted in him releasing his own music as well as being on [[Eurovision - Australia Decides]] in 2019.
