00:00:02Last time on Australian Idol.
00:00:05Let's get this party started!
00:00:07The competition ramped up to a whole new level.
00:00:12Jessie's just here for the show.
00:00:14As our Idol hopefuls played to a live audience
00:00:18backed by a live band for the very first time.
00:00:22And the crowd goes wild!
00:00:25Some revealed superstar potential.
00:00:28There it is! There it is!
00:00:32You give me goosebumps.
00:00:34I think you're an absolute superstar.
00:00:36Welcome to the top 21.
00:00:41But some of your favourites.
00:00:44There's still so much work to do.
00:00:47Struggled to shine.
00:00:49That's the worst I've seen.
00:00:51We're gonna put you on notice.
00:00:54Leaving Cody, Sophie, Harry and Vince on notice.
00:01:00And at risk of leaving the competition.
00:01:03Tonight...
00:01:04Everyone on their feet, let's go!
00:01:06The most sublime performances are still to come.
00:01:10Alright!
00:01:10One of the best voices I've ever heard.
00:01:13Oh! My girl!
00:01:14As our remaining Idol hopefuls sing for survival.
00:01:18Dream crusher, bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire!
00:01:25But not every singer will be celebrating.
00:01:30Your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:01:33It just wasn't where it needed to be.
00:01:36You're gonna be on notice.
00:01:39Guys, like, this is the toughest part.
00:01:45Three, must go home.
00:01:48When I look at all these people on notice,
00:01:51I'm actually shocked at who is there.
00:01:54Australia, by the end of tonight,
00:01:56you'll have your top 21.
00:02:00We have to make some incredibly difficult decisions.
00:02:03Only the strongest will get to the top 21.
00:02:05But there's one final twist no one could have predicted.
00:02:10Two of you left and only one spot into the top 21.
00:02:15And we're still undecided.
00:02:17No!
00:02:29And first to take to the stage tonight...
00:02:33..is Perth bartender Harriet.
00:02:36Now he is thinking about me every night all.
00:02:40I work as a bartender,
00:02:42but I don't want to work behind the bar.
00:02:45I want to work for stage.
00:02:46And she served up an audition to remember.
00:03:03It would be a privilege to have that voice in this contest.
00:03:07You're why this show exists.
00:03:09Talent like you.
00:03:11but now Harriet is feeling shaken by the competition the talent in this competition
00:03:17is sort of beyond belief it can be quite intimidating and scary I think that I've
00:03:23been quite in my head about it since you know I was very little I knew I wanted to be
00:03:30a performer
00:03:33so everything does ride on this performance this next performance is a really huge one for me I'm
00:03:39doing vampire by Olivia Rodrigo who is one of my all-time favorite artists and I am taking vocal
00:03:47risks I don't know about that run it does not work in that one hybrid at the end it is
00:03:55a vocally
00:03:55challenging song and if nerves come in this could be the finish point for me all right a feeling I'm
00:04:03a
00:04:04little bit nervous but I'm just trying to reframe all of that nervous energy into excitement so that
00:04:08I can go and have a good time out there how do you go with nerves I I feel like
00:04:15sometimes I shake a
00:04:16little bit once you step up to the microphone just take that second to take a breath and to
00:04:21center yourself it's so important because there's just so much going on but just it's always so
00:04:26important to just get yourself centered when you get out there yeah
00:04:53hate to give the satisfaction asking how you're doing now how's the castle built of people you
00:04:59pretend to care about just what you wanted look at you cool guy you got it
00:05:06I see the parties and the diamonds sometimes when I close my eyes six months of torture you sold as
00:05:13some forbidden paradise I loved you truly you gotta laugh at the stupidity cause I've made
00:05:20some real big mistakes you made me look so naive the way you sold me for parts you sunk your
00:05:31teeth into me
00:05:34I'm a blood sucker dream crusher bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire I tried to help you out now
00:05:44I know that I care cause how you think's the kind of thing I'll never understand
00:05:53I used to think I used to think I was smart you made me look so naive the way you
00:06:02sold me for parts you sunk your teeth into me
00:06:09I'm a blood sucker dream crusher bleedin' me dry like a goddamn vampire

00:12:41yes we got one
00:12:47top 21 what a cool idea to sing go Johnny go after two unforgettable performances we got
00:12:57through the next hopeful competing for a spot in the top 21 is ever at her audition ever did
00:13:08something completely original you want us to choose which song you audition with yeah but top
00:13:1530 week has put her to the test mama told me not to waste my life there's so much going
00:13:22on top 30 week
00:13:23I feel like it was a lot more intense than expected my chorus line it was my first time without
00:13:29the
00:13:29guitar these wings were made to fly I didn't do too well so ever you're on notice being put on
00:13:39notice is scary I do not want to be on notice again
00:13:49for my solo performance I'm singing crush by Jennifer page I wrote my guitar yes um only because it's a
00:13:57little bit of a comfort zone thing I just want to see if it works at all with the band
00:14:00if it doesn't then I'll just take it off and see how I go performing without it I'm tossing up
00:14:05between performing without a guitar and performing with my guitar
00:14:09I find that performing without it really feels like home but it's also like a safety blanket and I don't
00:14:21want to like let that stop me from really performing I feel like I shouldn't yeah I just want to
00:14:33try anyway just in case it's a massive risk not to using my guitar but I feel like I need
00:14:38to
00:14:38to prove myself I need to show the judges that I can do both I can perform without the guitar
00:14:43being here at Idle means so much to me yeah it means everything to me
00:14:59this performance will either be a ticket to top 21 or a ticket home
00:15:07that feeling
00:15:09it's just it's nerve-wracking
00:15:19this performance will either be a ticket to top 21 or a ticket home that feeling it's just it's nerve
00:15:27-wracking
00:15:33I see you blowing me because it doesn't take a scientist to understand what's going on baby
00:15:40if you see something in my eye let's not overanalyze don't go too deep with your baby
00:15:49let's pitch
00:15:50it's just a little crash
00:15:53not like a face
00:15:55every time we turn
00:15:57it's just
00:15:59a little thing
00:16:01not like everything I do
00:16:04depends on you
00:16:06you
00:16:06when you look in the sky
00:16:09in the sky
00:16:10why
00:16:11why
00:16:12pick your fences
00:16:13in your eyes
00:16:16a vision of you and me
00:16:23it's just
00:16:25a little crash
00:16:27not like a face
00:16:29every time we turn
00:16:50So Eva, you have a good voice and that wasn't terrible to watch but it wasn't polished.
00:17:00The truth of the matter is you're up against the best of the best you know what I mean like
00:17:05yeah it's
00:17:06like you've got to come out there so damn confident oh and I don't want to even see a nerve
00:17:11yeah yeah
00:17:12yeah ever it was a bit pitchy you know it was a bit shaky there's a place for grounding as
00:17:20well
00:17:20so if you ever feel like you're getting a bit bumpy stay put ever a couple things
00:17:29I would just say watch your pitch and your intonation we need better than that give us a second
00:17:49okay Eva like we said it just wasn't where it needed to be um and for that you're gonna be
00:18:00on notice
00:18:04guys this is like this is the toughest part this is you know what I mean you don't want to
00:18:09send her
00:18:09out into the big bad world being all shaky she's got to be good and this is gonna this is
00:18:13for the
00:18:14best it's because we want you to be great thank you yeah yeah you get bootable if you won't it's
00:18:30happened again I'm on notice yep yeah I don't know how I feel it's just like disappointing
00:18:40I was just so excited and I was really hoping that I would do a lot better yeah
00:18:49and I've got so many people to make proud including myself because I've worked so hard for it you
00:18:55know yeah sorry ever joins Cody Sophie Vince and Harry on notice and faces elimination at the end of the
00:19:08night I'm so excited for the solo challenge I'm so pumped to have a band behind me and just giving
00:19:16the crowd everything I have I just love jumping around to music I would definitely be doing that
00:19:30when you come back on I felt like everything just went like chaotic coming into the solo challenge
00:19:37it's about balancing all this like energy and also like focusing on I'm actually a musician and I have
00:19:43to sing and like actually be good at what I do next up the pop punk rocker Achille
00:19:58guys buckle up I don't make some noise
00:20:16I'm making my way downtown I'm walking fast faces pass and I'm homebound
00:20:26taking my way to the crowd
00:20:27take a bite from your hand just making my way making my way to the crowd
00:20:37I need you and I miss you and now I wonder if I could fall into the sky to this
00:20:51Do you think I'll sing it?
00:20:54Do you think I'll sing it?
00:20:56Cause you know I've walked a thousand miles
00:21:00If I could just see you
00:21:05Let's go!
00:21:06I'm falling into the sky
00:21:10Do you think I'll pass me by?
00:21:15Let's go!
00:21:17Do you think I'll sing it?
00:21:20Do you think I'll sing it?
00:21:33Do you think I'll sing it?
00:21:34Do you think I'll sing it?
00:21:34Do you think I'll sing it?
00:21:34Do you think I'll sing it?
00:21:36Achille, man, wow.
00:21:39I'm so happy that you're bringing this genre
00:21:42back into the lounge rooms of Australia.
00:21:44Like, cause I think everyone knows
00:21:46this is what I live for.
00:21:48I live for this pop-punk music.
00:21:50Thank you so much, Amy.
00:21:51No worries.
00:21:52But we do need to talk.
00:21:54Yeah, yeah.
00:21:55You are just a firecracker.
00:21:57You're such a personality.
00:21:59You know that pop-punk tone really well.
00:22:02You're a great guitarist.
00:22:04You're a great showman.
00:22:04You've got all these great, great, great things.
00:22:07But just then, you over-complicated it for yourself.
00:22:10I think what happens is you start to lose breath.
00:22:14Yeah.
00:22:15And that's when, you know, the melody gets lost
00:22:18and sometimes the lyrics in the story gets lost.
00:22:21I understand.
00:22:22Okay.
00:22:22Then tell me what you understand.
00:22:24I think sometimes I get carried away with the performance
00:22:26and I just forget that I'm also here to sing
00:22:29and not just hype the crowd up.
00:22:32Yeah.
00:22:33Honesty.
00:22:33I like it.
00:22:35Yeah.
00:22:38Okay, just give us two seconds.
00:22:45Thank you guys so much.
00:22:56Achille, my little pop-punk prince.
00:23:05We need to see more of you.
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:08So we would like to welcome you to the top 21.
00:23:16Thank you guys.
00:23:17Oh my goodness.
00:23:19Hold on, buddy.
00:23:20Hey Achille.
00:23:21I've worked so hard to be here, you know,
00:23:22like doing something that's unique.
00:23:25I know.
00:23:25Trying to be myself, you know.
00:23:26Thank you guys so much.
00:23:28Oh.
00:23:39I made it.
00:23:41Yeah.
00:23:46It's the first time I've ever cried from joy.
00:23:48Like, yeah.
00:23:49They were way too nice to be like.
00:23:51Oh, don't be serious.
00:23:53Like this is the life I dream of, you know, being on stage.
00:23:55I know the things I need to work on and I'm going to work hard,
00:23:58work harder than anyone now to like keep going on this journey.
00:24:01But I'm just so glad to be here.
00:24:05Stepping up next is Natalie.
00:24:08You ready?
00:24:08I'm ready.
00:24:09Yeah?
00:24:09I'm ready.
00:24:10The TikTok Broom Girl from the Gold Coast.
00:24:14Fans ready.
00:24:14You're ready.
00:24:15Let's go.
00:24:16Let's do it.
00:24:16Good luck, girlfriend.
00:24:18Have fun.
00:24:41And all I wanna do is to fall in deep.
00:24:48So baby, come and light me up.
00:24:50And maybe I'll let you on it.
00:24:53A little bit dangerous.
00:24:55But baby, that's how I want it.
00:24:57A little less conversation and a little more touch my body.
00:25:02Cause I'm so into you, into you, into you.
00:25:17How do you think you went?
00:25:19I think I went good.
00:25:20I did fumble a bit at the start with the lyrics,
00:25:22which I'm disappointed in myself for doing,
00:25:24but kept it going.
00:25:26Show goes on.
00:25:27Tried to keep the vibes high.
00:25:29So yeah, happy with how I carried through,
00:25:32regardless of the mistake.
00:25:33That's the important thing about an artist.
00:25:36If you mess up or you have a hiccup,
00:25:38you must keep going and find calm and balance
00:25:41through the chaos that's just happened.
00:25:42Totally.
00:25:43Natalie, you've picked a lane that is the hardest lane.
00:25:47It's a genre that, unless executed at the highest level,
00:25:52falls.
00:25:53That definitely just didn't showcase a pop star.
00:25:58Just yet.
00:26:01Okay, let's, we'll just have a quick, we'll have a quick chat.
00:26:04Excuse us.
00:26:06You're welcome.
00:26:07Oh.
00:26:08Oh.
00:26:09Oh.
00:26:10Oh.
00:26:11Oh.
00:26:15Does that make sense?
00:26:18Okay.
00:26:19Okay.
00:26:20Okay.
00:26:20Okay.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:21Okay.
00:26:27With the standard of singers that we have,
00:26:30the mess up at the beginning,
00:26:31and taking everything into consideration,
00:26:35unfortunately, we are going to put you on notice.
00:26:39No, I get it.
00:26:42Thank you so much, guys.
00:26:44Oh, I hate these moments.
00:26:46Thanks.
00:26:46I know you do.
00:26:47When you get good though.
00:26:51Coming up.
00:26:52My biggest concern is,
00:26:53and I forget the lyrics.
00:26:55Will the pressure of the solo challenge.
00:26:58What happened?
00:26:59Push our contestants past their breaking point.
00:27:03A lot of your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:27:08I don't want to cry.
00:27:10And the shy forklift driver is about to be tested like never before.
00:27:15Thinking about the pressure does freak me out a little bit.
00:27:18It's making me anxious and it's making me overthink.
00:27:20I feel like I'm constantly at war with myself in my head.
00:27:23So that's been the hardest thing.
00:27:31Masha, you look divine.
00:27:33Honestly.
00:27:33Oh, thank you.
00:27:35You know, my mother used to say to me,
00:27:37if a girl tells you you look nice, leave it.
00:27:39The solo challenge is where dreams are made or crushed.
00:27:44So our next singer is determined to claim her spot in the top 21.
00:27:49I've realised there is so much talent here and there's a lot of competition.
00:27:54The judges, they're not only looking for the vocals,
00:27:58but they're looking for the stage presence, the performance,
00:28:01like someone who can be an idol.
00:28:03And I think I've got that.
00:28:05If I want to make it to the top 21, I'm going to really have to prove myself.
00:28:10Good luck.
00:28:11Have fun.
00:28:14Next up, it's the 70s chick from the Gold Coast with a disco classic.
00:28:19Jamie.
00:28:48APPLAUSE
00:28:49Bye.
00:28:53Bye.
00:28:55My love, I know it's like under, under, like that.
00:29:01The way you love me is frightening.
00:29:05You better not, oh boy, baby.
00:29:11No, no, no, no, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:29:26You better not, no, no, no, no, yeah.
00:29:30You better not, no, no go, boy.
00:29:35You better not go on a road.
00:29:48Whoa.
00:29:49Oh!
00:29:51Ew!
00:29:58From the second you started, I was like, I'm in.
00:30:01This is the lead singer of a band and, like...
00:30:05Thank you so much.
00:30:06I'm in.
00:30:08I love your vibe. I love your tone.
00:30:10I'm all in. I really like what you're doing.
00:30:13So, well done.
00:30:13Thank you so much, Amy. Yeah.
00:30:15I'm gonna be very honest and say
00:30:17a lot of your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:30:22You know, you don't have to do that.
00:30:24Why start messing with something that doesn't need to be messed with?
00:30:28I always go back to, you know, is it necessary?
00:30:31You can sing. It's very clear.
00:30:34We know that.
00:30:35Just sing it straight up.
00:30:37You've got a great voice.
00:30:39Okay?
00:30:40I think she might have done it to claim.
00:30:44It looked like you had something to prove today.
00:30:47At the start, you know, I really want to pay respect to the song
00:30:49because it's such an amazing song.
00:30:51And so I tried to hold it back a little bit
00:30:52and then kind of take it home at the end.
00:30:55So that was my goal with it.
00:30:56Just to let you know.
00:30:57And I really wanted to prove myself
00:30:58because I want to be here, you know?
00:31:03I did that.
00:31:04I did it.
00:31:05I think we're gonna...
00:31:07Excuse us.
00:31:07Please excuse us.
00:31:23So, you know, um...
00:31:26I see you, Jane.
00:31:29I see what you tried to do,
00:31:32and I understand what you tried to do.
00:31:35And in saying that,
00:31:37I'd like to say welcome to the top 21.
00:31:42Wow, thank you so much.
00:31:46Thank you so much.
00:31:48Aw.
00:31:49Aw.
00:31:50She's scared of you.
00:31:52I'm good.
00:31:56I got through the top 21.
00:32:02I said to myself in my head, Jamie, like,
00:32:04this is what you want.
00:32:06Like, this is your dream.
00:32:07You're about to walk out.
00:32:08So you need to bring it.
00:32:11Like, literally knocking on wood.
00:32:13Hoping to join Jamie in the top 21
00:32:16is our next performer.
00:32:1816-year-old brizzy boy, Asha.
00:32:21My biggest concern is my nerves get the better of me
00:32:24and I forget the lyrics again.
00:32:29That's pushed me to practice as much as possible,
00:32:32but it also sometimes psychs me out before I go on stage.
00:32:36I just need to make sure that the crowd, the nerves,
00:32:38the pressure doesn't get to me.
00:32:41Asha, I love watching you fire yourself up.
00:32:43You really put your whole body into it.
00:32:45Yep.
00:32:46What are you singing?

00:34:40You know, I was looking around the room and we often do that.
00:34:44Yes.
00:34:44You know, as judges, we look around the room and see how the audience are engaging.
00:34:48And like your vibe, you were bringing it, you had spirit, you were rapping.
00:34:52The beginning got me.
00:34:54The beginning got me.
00:34:54I think you were kind of like startled and then that kind of went to 100.
00:34:59Do you know what I mean?
00:35:01Um, did you?
00:35:01I don't know.
00:35:02Please tell me.
00:35:02How did you feel?
00:35:03Yeah, it was a bit nerve wracking.
00:35:05Um, I just like missed the beat by accident.
00:35:08But then as soon as I hit the next line, I was back in and I was just having the
00:35:10time
00:35:10of my life.
00:35:11Honestly.
00:35:12Yeah, it was great.
00:35:13That's, let me, let me tell you, um, I, I mean, I just came off a show with Snoop Dogg.
00:35:21Um, and.
00:35:21Oh, my job.
00:35:23Right.
00:35:24And, um, there was a moment where my, my, my pack just literally went mute.
00:35:30Oh.
00:35:31And I could not hear anything.
00:35:32This is in front of more than a hundred thousand people.
00:35:35What I had to do was, was watch him.
00:35:38That's so smart, Jess.
00:35:39Yes.
00:35:39And, and just, and just imagine that that was a song.
00:35:43I don't, don't get me wrong.
00:35:44I practiced.
00:35:45I made sure that I was prepared for anything to happen.
00:35:49And in that moment, I just had to keep going and you kept going.
00:35:56Um, you were so ahead of the beat.
00:35:59Like you really were rushing it.
00:36:03I felt you being like, okay, I've got the lyrics.
00:36:06Yep.
00:36:06It's here.
00:36:06It's here.
00:36:06It's here.
00:36:06I just got to get it, get them out because you're always petrified of losing your lyrics.
00:36:10I know that.
00:36:15I don't know if you're there yet, to be honest.
00:36:22It's incredibly exciting to walk on stage and feel the madness of the crowd just push you up to places
00:36:29you never knew you could go.
00:36:30But in amongst all that madness that you've got to find, God.
00:36:37Please excuse us.
00:36:51You have so much potential and I just, I see it. I'm seeing the future of it.
00:37:08Asha, welcome to the top 20.
00:37:09Yes!
00:37:13Yes!
00:37:18Thank you guys so much.
00:37:21Thank you guys so much.
00:37:37Oh
00:37:38I'm so relieved. I'm so relieved
00:37:40I was under so much stress when I forgot that first line and that first line I was off beat
00:37:44and then I was like
00:37:46I almost fainted I swear and then I managed to get it back and I'm just I
00:37:50Have no words
00:37:56Oh
00:38:00Next the singing skier steps up ready to deliver one of her most emotional performances yet
00:38:10That was gorgeous your voice is just something else
00:38:15Then they're putting a spin on a classic. I'm gonna be singing a love don't cost a thing
00:38:21But I'm gonna be elitrifying it. I'm singing a little song called Thrilla
00:38:27Is it a big risk? I get what you did, but I kind of wish you had or a big
00:38:33reward
00:38:33Welcome to the top 21
00:38:42Top 30 week is tough brutal and for some the solo performance is the last chance to convince the judges
00:38:52they belong in the top 21
00:38:56The top 30 week is pretty intense
00:38:58I'm definitely feeling the pressure especially because I got a golden ticket in the room at the audition
00:39:03but you're only as good as your last performance and
00:39:08Lockie's last performance
00:39:10disappointed
00:39:12That was one of the worst group performances I have ever seen
00:39:17I was put on notice. I definitely hope that my solo performance is my redemption
00:39:22I'm not afraid to take risks if it means a spot in that top 21
00:39:26Good look look at this look. Oh my god. I think alike. You guys are winning. It's a yes for
00:39:32me
00:39:33Don't hear it straight to the top 21. Let's go. What are you gonna be singing?
00:39:37I'm singing a little song called Thrilla
00:39:40It's a bit more of a like modern modern twist on it. So I'm excited to yeah present that
00:39:45Wow, I can't wait to see where you take this song. Are you ready to go because I think they're
00:39:49almost ready for you, okay?
00:40:04Thank you
00:40:11It's close to midnight and something else lurking in the dark
00:40:20Under the moonlight
00:40:22You see a sight that almost tops your heart
00:40:26You try to speak
00:40:28You tell me it takes a sound before you make it
00:40:35You start to freeze
00:40:36Your heart looks around between the eyes
00:40:41You're paralyzed
00:40:47Thriller
00:40:49Thriller night
00:40:50No one's gonna save you from the beast about to shine
00:40:55Thriller
00:40:57Thriller
00:40:58Thriller night
00:40:59Deciding where life inside a killer
00:41:03Killer, killer tonight
00:41:15Loppy
00:41:18You know you heard that song
00:41:21Da da da da da da da da da da da da
00:41:24You can't touch this
00:41:26Michael Jackson the genius sometimes when you know a song so well your head just won't take
00:41:33you to the other place but creatively I get what you what you did but I kind of wish you
00:41:42hadn't
00:41:44no I'm only telling the truth Loughlin you're a dancer who really wants to sing and I get it
00:41:51and you can sing but that was really fraught with danger with what you just did then yeah no
00:41:57definitely it is like such an iconic song and I'm such a big fan of Michael Jackson that song
00:42:02in particular so yeah I definitely understand where you're coming from absolutely and I think
00:42:06maybe because I'm such a big fan of that song that's why I wanted to perform it but
00:42:10yeah I absolutely see what he's saying for sure lucky that song is so technical you know and if
00:42:18you're going to do a technical song you will you really want to hit those points because it's so
00:42:23people are so familiar with it it was just very left field yeah vocally it didn't cut through and
00:42:30that was just the wrong song thank you thank you appreciate that so Loughlin you know
00:42:48you know it's an unfortunate thing but you are now put on notice thank you
00:43:03I've been put on notice it's a little bit disappointing being put on notice again two days in a row
00:43:11you have all those like voices in the back of your head saying like do I really deserve to be
00:43:16here I
00:43:17don't think top 30 week has really shown the best to me at all I'd definitely love to be given
00:43:23another
00:43:23chance I'm not ready to go home yet next up is Kesha the singing skier from Jindaby who's hoping to
00:43:33somersault straight into your top 21 my first composition was on Jindy Idol it's a bit bigger

00:44:26hope I don't

00:47:48I'm in
00:47:50Once again, we ain't got nothing to say
00:47:52But welcome to the top 21
00:47:53Thank you
00:47:57I'm so happy to be there
00:47:59Thank you
00:48:04She's cool, man
00:48:06Oh, here we go
00:48:08Yeah
00:48:11Yeah
00:48:12Yeah
00:48:16As Kesha celebrates
00:48:18Our next performer is determined to put her top 30 week struggles behind her
00:48:24And continue on her idle journey
00:48:27Alita, I wrote, looks great, sounds great, boring
00:48:30In the group challenge, Amy mentioned that I didn't stand out
00:48:35Although there were moments in that, I feel like it was the Jamie show
00:48:39You're all going to be on notice
00:48:42If I'm put on notice again, I'll be getting sent home
00:48:46So this is so intense
00:48:49This has been my dream
00:48:50So I'm not going to give up anytime soon
00:48:55I'm going to have to do whatever I can do to stand out
00:48:58I've done a little tweaking to see how it goes
00:49:01Yeah, you've got to make it your own
00:49:02For sure
00:49:03For the solo challenge
00:49:05I'm going to be singing Love Don't Cost A Thing by JLo
00:49:08But I'm going to be elitifying it
00:49:12I'm going to make little changes to the melody
00:49:15Bringing Alita into the song
00:49:18I know you've changed up the verse melody
00:49:21I think that you need to find a halfway point
00:49:25Just work on that first verse in terms of melody
00:49:27Yeah
00:49:28Okay
00:49:28Yeah
00:49:31I need to take that risk
00:49:33I'm just going to put everything into it
00:49:35To stand out
00:49:42When you were up in the escalate
00:49:45Saw the double gate to the valet
00:49:47Do that it was scary
00:49:48When you looked at me
00:49:49Pulling up as if I could see a holy flame
00:49:52Say you're laying it in the corner food
00:49:54Raising up a toe
00:49:55So I would notice you
00:49:57But you're not done
00:49:58You think you ought to know
00:49:59Doesn't matter if you're pulling out of control
00:50:01All the fantasies that you're dreaming like
00:50:05Give me all the things I need
00:50:08That money can buy
00:50:10Yeah
00:50:10Think you've got to keep me out too long
00:50:13Think I'm going to spend your cash out once
00:50:16Even if you're both
00:50:17My love don't matter me
00:50:30What happened?
00:50:31I think I felt good there
00:50:33I felt like I was vibing with the crowd
00:50:36And I just gave it my all
00:50:38My energy
00:50:38It was feeling good
00:50:40Okay
00:50:42Because it didn't sound as if you'd found the note
00:50:45In the beginning
00:50:47You got it in the end
00:50:49But the beginning of the song
00:50:50It sounded like
00:50:51Two totally different sounds
00:50:53Yeah I thought you might have lost the lyrics
00:50:54For a second
00:50:55Do you know that you did that?
00:50:58I mean I thought I was on
00:51:01Like pitch
00:51:02But maybe I was wrong
00:51:04To lose it and not know
00:51:05That's a worry
00:51:07Yeah
00:51:09Anyway we're going to have a chat
00:51:10About it
00:51:11Yeah

00:51:32I'm so sorry, but it is what it is. Okay. Thank you
00:51:40That's good, we're gonna be direct
00:52:03Yeah, I don't want to cry music is my whole life, so I just hope I will make him
00:52:12Yeah, it's not over
00:52:16Next the Cinderella story your voice is so so fragile
00:52:22Kind of don't know where you fit that will melt your heart
00:52:27I've been denied so many opportunities because I'm different the fact that I'm here right now
00:52:32And this is really really really special
00:52:35Then for the singers on notice the judges have a massive twist we
00:52:44Have decided that it's time
00:52:47for no
00:52:54With eight performers on notice and facing elimination from the competition
00:53:01Tonight's final singer is forklift driver Jacinta whose unique voice caught the judges attention
00:53:17It's a cool voice it's really cool it's really authentic and different you just are you which is the trick?
00:53:26Just had a lot of rejection and a lot of notes, so this means a lot
00:53:32To have made it this far has already been such a blessing
00:53:35Let it go
00:53:36I think to make the top 21 would be really special
00:53:45The biggest challenge has been my confidence. I just I really struggle to back myself
00:53:52Yeah, I feel like I know it, but I'm I'm scared I'm gonna miss it
00:53:55You got it
00:53:55Did I okay? Maybe I got it and I'm just in my head
00:53:58I know that there's an immense amount of pressure coming with this solo performance
00:54:03Being in the theatre seeing all the seats knowing they're all gonna be filled is a bit daunting
00:54:10Thinking about the pressure does freak me out a little bit
00:54:12It's making me anxious and it's making me overthink
00:54:15I feel like I'm constantly at war with myself in my head
00:54:18I've had more doors closed than open and so I really yeah hit in the shadows really
00:54:25Pushed myself back got in my little box
00:54:27Opportunities like this don't come around often
00:54:31Especially for people like me
00:54:36Coming into the solo challenge I really want to prove that I can back myself
00:54:42I can be confident I can own a stage and own a moment
00:54:46And not hide away from it if I'm not supporting myself or rooting for myself
00:54:51How can I expect anyone else to do that?
00:55:20You and me
00:55:23We used to be together
00:55:27Every day together
00:55:30Always
00:55:33I really feel
00:55:36That illusion
00:55:37My best friend
00:55:39I can't believe this could be
00:55:43Yeah
00:55:45It looks as though you're letting go
00:55:52And if it's real then I don't want to know
00:55:58Don't speak
00:56:00I know just what you're saying
00:56:02So please stop explaining
00:56:06Don't tell because it hurts
00:56:11Don't speak
00:56:13Don't speak
00:56:13I know what you're thinking
00:56:15I don't need a reason
00:56:19Don't tell because it hurts
00:56:25Don't speak
00:56:26I know what you're thinking
00:56:28I don't need a reason
00:56:32Don't tell because it hurts
00:56:37Don't ask
00:56:45Don't tell you what you're saying
00:56:50Don't ask
00:56:51Don't ask
00:56:51Don't ask
00:56:52Don't ask
00:56:53Don't ask
00:57:00Don't ask
00:57:02is so gorgeous and I actually everyone's like oh I would love to see Jacinta when
00:57:09we do the big glow-ups and like you know we get to that stage and stuff but I
00:57:12kind of like that you dress like Kurt Cobain I think it's sick your voice is
00:57:18so like it's so fragile mmm yep it's a real niche sound and I love it but I do
00:57:28wonder where it's gonna go I've been denied so many opportunities because
00:57:33I'm different and I don't really fit anywhere so the fact that I'm here right
00:57:38now and you're listening to me and giving me the time this is really really
00:57:41really special
00:57:51I think inside you there's there's just fire you know I think each time you step
00:57:57out and we give you an opportunity you do rise and you light up you kind of don't
00:58:02know where you fit you fit just right my girl yeah it's way cooler not fitting in
00:58:08yeah wait yeah for sure all right give us two seconds
00:58:26when you said I don't fit anywhere my heart really hurt because it actually
00:58:31took me so long to find my place as well and it's unbelievable what music can do
00:58:40because the second I was launched into it I'm like oh my god I found my people I
00:58:47can see that that's that's gonna happen to you eventually it's gonna open so many
00:58:52doors for you and um we would like to open the door of welcoming you to the top 21
00:59:00oh my gosh thank you so much thank you thank you thank you

00:59:29I never ever ever in my wildest dreams thought I would make it top 21 of Australian Idol it is
00:59:35beyond anything I could ever dream of
00:59:42I feel like every challenge I put up against every every performance I'm
00:59:47slowly just getting more and more confident more myself just more sure of
00:59:57myself the judges have seen all of the solo performances and now they must decide who will be
01:00:07eliminated from the competition
01:00:12eight singers have been put on notice and for three of them their idle journey will end tonight
01:00:21this has been tough it's been full of surprises when I look at all these people on notice I'm
01:00:27actually shocked at who is there so I gotta be really honest I cannot believe that he's on the
01:00:34board because I yes I expected so much yes also she was really cool I know yeah as soon as
01:00:41she walked
01:00:41out I was like oh we've got a good one yeah and then it just it the wheels really fell
01:00:45off it's true
01:00:46yeah and this girl that worried me yeah yes so we've got these two girls yes all right they are
01:00:53super similar they want this exact same lane lane yeah and I don't think we can take both no let's
01:01:01do this
01:01:07next I'm hoping with everything in me that I may get through because this is what I've worked so hard
01:01:12for
01:01:14even though I'm a cheeky cowboy I'm committed this is my dream and I want to do this for the
01:01:18rest of my life
01:01:20who will survive and take their place in your top 21 and whose idle dreams are over
01:01:46after watching all of the solo performances the judges have to make their toughest decisions yet
