FunTranscript
00:00:02Last time on Australian Idol, the 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 backed by a live band for the very first time.
00:00:22And the crowd goes wild.
00:00:26Some revealed superstar potential.
00:00:29There 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.
00:00:47...struggled 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.
00:00:59And at risk of leaving the competition.
00:01:04Tonight...
00:01:04Everyone on their feet, let's go!
00:01:06The most sublime performances are still to come.
00:01:10All right!
00:01:10One of the best voices I've ever heard.
00:01:13Oh!
00:01:14Mic drop!
00:01:14As our remaining Idol hopefuls sing for survival.
00:01:18Dream crusher!
00:01:20Bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire!
00:01:25But not every singer will be celebrating.
00:01:29Your vocal gymnastics didn't land.
00:01:34It 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.
00:01:46Three must go home.
00:01:49When I look at all these people on notice, I'm actually shocked at who is there.
00:01:55Australia, by the end of tonight, you'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.
00:02:11Two of you left and only one spot into the top 21.
00:02:15And we're still undecided.
00:02:18No!
00:02:29And first to take to the stage tonight...
00:02:33..is Perth bartender Harriet.
00:02:36Now you're thinking about me, having my own...
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.
00:02:47And she served up an audition to remember.
00:02:51Could you leave me with a scar?
00:03:00Could you leave me with a scar?
00:03:04Could you leave me with a scar?
00:03:04It would be a privilege to have that voice in this contest.
00:03:08You're why this show exists.
00:03:10Talent like you.
00:03:11But now Harriet is feeling shaken by the competition.
00:03:16The talent in this competition is sort of beyond belief.
00:03:19It can be quite intimidating and scary.
00:03:22I think that I've been quite in my head about it.
00:03:27Since, you know, I was very little,
00:03:29I knew I wanted to be a performer.
00:03:33So everything does ride on this performance.
00:03:35This next performance is a really huge one for me.
00:03:39I'm doing Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo,
00:03:42who is one of my all-time favourite artists.
00:03:45And I am taking vocal risks.
00:03:49I don't know about that run.
00:03:50It's not working.
00:03:52What?
00:03:53That one high bit at the end.
00:03:54It is a vocally challenging song,
00:03:56and if nerves come in,
00:03:57this could be the finish point for me.
00:04:01Harriet, how are you feeling?
00:04:02I'm a little bit nervous,
00:04:04but I'm just trying to reframe all of that nervous energy
00:04:07into excitement
00:04:08so that I can go and have a good time out there.
00:04:11How do you go with nerves?
00:04:13I...
00:04:14I feel like sometimes I shake a little bit.
00:04:17Once you step up to the microphone,
00:04:19just take that second to take a breath
00:04:21and to centre yourself.
00:04:22It's so important
00:04:23because there's just so much going on,
00:04:25but just it's always so important
00:04:27to just get yourself centred when you get out there.
00:04:29Yeah.
00:04:53I hate to give the satisfaction
00:04:55asking how you're doing now.
00:04:57How's the castle built off people
00:04:59you pretend to care about?
00:05:00You know, just what you wanted.
00:05:03Look at you, cool guy.
00:05:05You got it.
00:05:07I see the parties and the diamonds
00:05:09sometimes when I close my eyes
00:05:11it smells of torches sold
00:05:12as some forbidden paradise.
00:05:14I loved you truly.
00:05:17You gotta laugh at the stupidity
00:05:19cause I've made some real big mistakes.
00:05:23You make me look so naive
00:05:26the way you sold me for parts
00:05:30as you sunk your teeth into me.
00:05:34Oh, bloodsucker, dream crusher,
00:05:38bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.
00:05:42I tried to help you out,
00:05:44now I know that I care.
00:05:46Cause how you think's the kind of thing
00:05:47I'll never understand.
00:05:53I'll never understand.
00:05:54I used to think I was smart,
00:05:58you made me look so naive
00:06:01the way you sold me for parts
00:06:05as you sunk your teeth into me.
00:06:08Love, bloodsucker, dream crusher,
00:06:13bleeding me dry like a goddamn vampire.
00:06:18Wow.
00:06:21Oh, wow.
00:06:23Oh.
00:06:24Damn.
00:06:27Harriet, our bartender from WA.
00:06:33Yes.
00:06:34Well done.
00:06:35Thank you so much.
00:06:36Yeah.
00:06:37That was really cool.
00:06:38You know, like you knew what you had to do
00:06:39and you did it.
00:06:40Well done.
00:06:41I really appreciate that.
00:06:42Yeah.
00:06:44Yeah.
00:06:45I mean,
00:06:46you haven't,
00:06:48you haven't done anything wrong ever
00:06:51since we met you.
00:06:52We're like,
00:06:53it was just so professional.
00:06:56I really appreciate it.
00:06:56It was like watching a real professional at work.
00:06:58Well done.
00:06:58That was solid.
00:07:07I have to say that's one of the best voices
00:07:11I've ever heard on the show.
00:07:12Yeah.
00:07:16It made me cry.
00:07:18You know,
00:07:19it's interesting because when Jessica hears something
00:07:21she really likes,
00:07:21she does this.
00:07:24My head goes up and I'm like...
00:07:25She went through the whole song with you, you know?
00:07:27But if she doesn't like it,
00:07:28she does this.
00:07:29Oh, yes.
00:07:31Hey,
00:07:33um,
00:07:34don't share my secrets.
00:07:35Um,
00:07:36it's perfect for me.
00:07:38That means a lot coming from you.
00:07:39Thank you so much.
00:07:44This is Jessica.
00:07:50Yeah.
00:07:52Harriet,
00:07:52Harriet, you know,
00:07:53you're very solid in who you are.
00:07:55I love the way you present.
00:07:57I really dug your song choice
00:07:59and there's nothing more to be said
00:08:01except welcome to the top 20.
00:08:03Thank you so much.
00:08:20Thank you so much.
00:08:23I will through the top 21.
00:08:26It's kinda crazy, but it's good.
00:08:29All good things.
00:08:32Woo!
00:08:35Woo!
00:08:36to perform is 16 year old 50s fanatic John. I am feeling a bit nervous I've never sung for a
00:08:46crowd
00:08:47of this size before so this is a huge step up. Well it's a one for the money two for
00:08:56the show
00:08:56I love my 50s kind of music it's so upbeat and it's fun and I feel really happy and have
00:09:05fun
00:09:05when i'm singing it. At his audition John had the judges jiving at the desk
00:09:31I'm gonna call you Johnny jukebox that's your new name
00:09:37how exciting. John how are you feeling? I'm very nervous. What are you singing? Johnny Be Good.
00:09:42Oh, yeah. Oh, you're gonna have the best time. Good luck. Good luck, man.
00:09:46Good luck.
00:17:29Eva, a couple things.
00:17:31I would just say watch your pitch and your intonation.
00:17:34We need better than that.
00:17:37Give us a second.
00:17:41It's hot because...
00:17:44I see, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see, I see.
00:17:48I don't know what you're doing.
00:17:51Okay, Eva.
00:17:51Eva, like we said, it just wasn't where it needed to be.
00:17:58Yeah.
00:17:59And for that, you're going to be on notice.
00:18:06Guys, this is like, this is the toughest part.
00:18:09This is, you know what I mean?
00:18:10You don't want to send her out into the big bad world being all shaky.
00:18:13She's got to be good and this is going to, this is for the best.
00:18:16It's because we want you to be great.
00:18:17Yeah, thank you.
00:18:18Yeah, all right.
00:18:19We really do it.
00:18:29Yeah, you get booed a lot.
00:18:30You won't.
00:18:31It's horrible.
00:18:32Happened again.
00:18:33I'm on notice.
00:18:35Yep.
00:18:37Yeah.
00:18:38I don't know how I feel.
00:18:38It's just like disappointing.
00:18:42I was just so excited and I was really hoping that I would do a lot better.
00:18:48Yeah.
00:18:51And I've got so many people to make proud, including myself, because I've worked so hard
00:18:56for it, you know.
00:18:58Yeah, sorry.
00:19:01Eva joins Cody, Sophie, Vince and Harry on notice and faces elimination at the end of
00:19:10the night.
00:19:13I'm so excited for the solo challenge.
00:19:15I'm so pumped to have a band behind me.
00:19:17I'm just giving the crowd everything I have.
00:19:22I just love jumping around to music.
00:19:24I would definitely be doing that.
00:19:27Oh.
00:19:28Hey.
00:19:30Woo.
00:19:32When you come back on, I felt like everything just went like chaotic.
00:19:38Coming into the solo challenge, it's about balancing all this like energy and also like
00:19:43focusing on, I'm actually a musician and I have to sing and like actually be good at
00:19:47what I do.
00:19:49Next up, the pop punk rocker, Achille.
00:20:00Guys, buckle up.
00:20:04I don't make some noise.
00:20:18Making my way downtown, walking fast, faces pass and I'm homebound.
00:20:28Big break for your head, just making my way, making my way through the crowd.
00:20:39And I need you
00:20:41And I miss you
00:20:43And now I wonder
00:20:47If I could fall into the sky
00:20:52Do you think I'd be
00:20:55Sing it!
00:20:56Sing it hard!
00:20:58Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles
00:21:02And I could just see you
00:21:07Let's go!
00:21:09Fall, fall, please do the sky
00:21:12Do you think I'm going to pass me by?
00:21:17Let's go!
00:21:38Achille, man, wow
00:21:40I'm so happy that you're bringing this genre
00:21:44Back into the lounge rooms of Australia
00:21:46Cause I think everyone knows
00:21:48This is what I live for
00:21:50I live for this pop punk music
00:21:52Thank you so much, Amy
00:21:53No worries
00:21:54But we do need to talk
00:21:55Yeah, yeah
00:21:56You are just a firecracker
00:21:59You're such a personality
00:22:01You know that pop punk tone really well
00:22:04You're a great guitarist
00:22:06You're a great showman
00:22:06You've got all these great, great, great things
00:22:08But just then
00:22:10You overcomplicated it for yourself
00:22:12I think what happens is
00:22:14You start to lose breath
00:22:16And that's when, you know
00:22:18The melody gets lost
00:22:20And sometimes the lyrics in the story gets lost
00:22:23I understand
00:22:24Okay, then tell me what you understand
00:22:26I think sometimes I get carried away with the performance
00:22:28And I just forget that I'm also here to sing
00:22:31And not just hype the crowd up
00:22:34Honesty
00:22:35I like it
00:22:37Yeah
00:22:40Okay, just give us two seconds
00:22:46Thank you guys so much
00:22:57Achille
00:22:58My little pop punk prince
00:23:07We need to see more of you
00:23:09So we would like to welcome you

00:23:58And I'm gonna work hard

00:24:18Good luck girlfriend
00:24:19Have fun
00:24:35I'm so new
00:24:37I can barely breathe
00:24:43And all I wanna do
00:24:46Is to fall in deep
00:24:49So baby come and light me up
00:24:52And maybe I'll let you on it
00:24:55A little bit dangerous
00:24:57But baby that's how I want it
00:24:59A little less conversation
00:25:01And a little one touch my body
00:25:03Cause I'm so into you
00:25:06Into you
00:25:19How do you think you went?
00:25:21I think I went good
00:25:22I did fumble a bit at the start
00:25:24With the lyrics
00:25:24Which I'm disappointed in myself
00:25:26For doing
00:25:26But
00:25:27Kept it going
00:25:28Show goes on
00:25:29Tried to keep the vibes high
00:25:31So
00:25:31Yeah
00:25:32Happy with how I carried through
00:25:34Regardless of the mistake
00:25:35That's the important thing about an artist
00:25:37If you mess up
00:25:39Or you have a hiccup
00:25:40You must keep going
00:25:41And find calm and balance
00:25:43Through the chaos
00:25:43That's just happened
00:25:44Totally
00:25:45Natalie
00:25:45You've picked a lane
00:25:47That is
00:25:47The hardest lane
00:25:49It's a genre
00:25:50It's a genre that
00:25:51Unless executed at the highest level
00:25:54False
00:25:55That definitely just didn't showcase
00:25:57A pop star
00:26:00Just yet
00:26:03Okay
00:26:04Let's
00:26:04We'll just have a quick
00:26:05We'll have a quick chat
00:26:06Thank you
00:26:07You're welcome
00:26:20Okay
00:26:21Okay
00:26:21Okay
00:26:22Okay
00:26:22Okay
00:26:28With the standard of singers that we have
00:26:32The mess up at the beginning
00:26:33And taking everything into consideration
00:26:37Unfortunately
00:26:38We are going to put you on notice
00:26:41No I get it
00:26:42Thank you
00:26:43Thank you so much guys
00:26:45Oh I hate these moments
00:26:48I know you do
00:26:49And you did good though
00:26:52Coming up
00:26:53My biggest concern is
00:26:55Now forget the lyrics
00:26:56Will the pressure of the solo challenge
00:27:00What happened?
00:27:01Push our contestants past their breaking point
00:27:05A lot of your vocal gymnastics
00:27:08Didn't land
00:27:10I don't want to cry
00:27:11And the shy forklift driver
00:27:14Is about to be tested
00:27:16Like never before
00:27:17Thinking about the pressure
00:27:18Does freak me out a little bit
00:27:20It's making me anxious
00:27:21And it's making me overthink
00:27:22I feel like I'm constantly at war
00:27:24With myself in my head
00:27:25So that's been the hardest thing
00:27:35Oh Masha you look divine
00:27:36Honestly
00:27:37Oh thank you
00:27:39You know my mother used to say to me
00:27:41If a girl tells you you look nice
00:27:42Believe it
00:27:43The solo challenge
00:27:44Is where dreams are made
00:27:46Or crushed
00:27:48So our next singer
00:27:49Is determined
00:27:50To claim her spot
00:27:51In the top 21
00:27:53I've realised there is so much talent here
00:27:55And there's a lot of competition
00:27:58The judges
00:27:59They're not only looking for the vocals
00:28:01But they're looking for the stage presence
00:28:04The performance
00:28:04Like someone who can be an idol
00:28:06And I think I've got that
00:28:09If I want to make it to the top 21
00:28:11I'm going to really have to prove myself
00:28:14Good luck
00:28:14Have fun
00:28:18Next up
00:28:19It's the 70s chick from the Gold Coast
00:28:21With a disco classic
00:28:23Jamie
00:28:35I don't want to lose me
00:28:39This good thing
00:28:42That I've got
00:28:44Cause if I do
00:28:46I would surely
00:28:48Surely lose a lot
00:28:52Cause your love

00:30:17so much Amy
00:30:19I'm going to be very honest and say a lot of your vocal gymnastics
00:30:25Didn't land, you know, you don't have to do that. Why start messing with something that doesn't need to be
00:30:31messed with
00:30:33Always go back to you know is it necessary you can sing it's very clear. We know that
00:30:39Just sing it straight up. You've got a great voice
00:30:43Okay, I think she might have done it to to claim
00:30:48It looked like you had something to prove
00:30:50Today at the start, you know, I really want to pay respect to the song because it's such an amazing
00:30:54song
00:30:54And so I tried to hold it back a little bit and then kind of take it home at the
00:30:58end
00:30:59So that was my goal with it just to let you know and I really wanted to prove myself because
00:31:03I I want to be here, you know
00:31:07Thank you back. I did it
00:31:09We're gonna be smart. Sorry, please excuse me

00:32:2316 year old brizzy boy Asha
00:32:25My biggest concern is my nerves get the better of me and I forget the lyrics again
00:32:33That's pushed me to practice as much as possible, but it also sometimes psychs me out before I go on
00:32:38stage

00:34:39The wiggity wiggity wiggity wiggity mag
00:34:44You know I was looking around the room
00:34:46And we often do that
00:34:47Yes
00:34:48You know as judges we look around the room
00:34:49And see how the audience are engaging
00:34:52And like your vibe you were bringing it
00:34:54You had spirit
00:34:55You were rapping
00:34:56The beginning got me
00:34:57I think you were kind of like startled
00:35:00And then that kind of went to 100
00:35:03Do you know what I mean?
00:35:05Um did you
00:35:05I don't know please tell me how did you feel?
00:35:07Yeah it was a bit nerve wracking
00:35:09Um I just like missed the beat by accident
00:35:11But then as soon as I hit the next line I was back in and I was just having the
00:35:14time of my life
00:35:15Honestly yeah it was great
00:35:17That's
00:35:19Let me let me tell you um I mean I just came off a show with Snoop Dogg and
00:35:25Oh my job
00:35:27Right
00:35:27And um there was a moment where my pack just literally went mute
00:35:34Oh
00:35:34And I could not hear anything
00:35:36Terrifying
00:35:36This was in front of more than a hundred thousand people
00:35:39What I had to do was watch him
00:35:41That's so smart Jess
00:35:43And and just and just imagine that that was a song
00:35:46I don't don't get me wrong I practiced
00:35:49I made sure that I was prepared for anything to happen
00:35:52And in that moment I just had to keep going and you kept going
00:35:57Thank you
00:35:58Um you were so ahead of the beat like you really were rushing it
00:36:07I felt you being like okay I've got the lyrics yep it's here it's here
00:36:10I just got to get it get them out because you're always petrified of losing your lyrics I know that
00:36:19I don't know if you're there yet to be honest
00:36:25It's incredibly exciting to walk on stage and feel the madness of the crowd just push you up to places
00:36:33you never knew you could go
00:36:34But in amongst all that madness you've got to find
00:36:41Please excuse us yes
00:36:55You have so much potential and I just I see it I'm seeing the future of it
00:37:12Asha welcome to the top 20
00:37:41I'm so relieved I'm so relieved I was under so much
00:37:45stress when I forgot that first line and that first line I was off beat
00:37:49and then I was like I almost fainted I swear and then I managed to get it back and I'm
00:37:52just
00:37:53I have no words honestly
00:38:05Next the singing skier steps up ready to deliver one of her most emotional performances yet
00:38:14That was gorgeous your voice is just something else
00:38:19Then they're putting a spin on a classic I'm going to be singing love don't cost a thing but I'm
00:38:26going to be
00:38:26elitifying it I'm singing a little song called Thrilla
00:38:31Is it a big risk I get what you did but I kind of wish you had
00:38:36or a big reward welcome to the top 21
00:38:48Top 30 week is tough brutal and for some the solo performance is the last chance to convince the judges
00:38:57they belong in the top 21
00:39:02The top 30 week is pretty intense I'm definitely feeling the pressure especially because I got a golden ticket in
00:39:08the room at the audition
00:39:10but you're only as good as your last performance
00:39:14and Lockie's last performance disappointed
00:39:18That was one of the worst group performances I have ever seen
00:39:23I was put on notice I definitely hope that my solo performance is my redemption
00:39:28I'm not afraid to take risks if it means a spot in that top 21
00:39:32good look look at this look oh my god I think alike you guys are winning it's a yes for
00:39:38me
00:39:39straight to the top 21 let's go what are you going to be singing
00:39:43I'm singing a little song called Thrilla
00:39:46it's a bit more of a like modern modern twist on it so I'm excited to yeah present that
00:39:51Wow I can't wait to see where you take this song are you ready to go because I think they're
00:39:55almost ready for you okay
00:40:16It's close to midnight there's something else lurking in the dark
00:40:25Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost tops your heart
00:40:32You try to speak
00:40:34You tell me to taste the sound before you make it
00:40:40You start to freeze
00:40:42Your heart looks around between the eyes
00:40:47You're paralyzed
00:40:48In the last
00:40:53Thriller
00:40:55Thriller
00:40:56thriller
00:40:56Now
00:40:56No one's gonna save you from the beast about to try
00:41:02Thriller
00:41:04Thriller
00:41:05Nine
00:41:05Deciding for your life inside of
00:41:08Killeratura
00:41:10tonight
00:41:13Speings
00:41:14Dead 99
00:41:17He
00:41:21Lafayette, you know, you heard that song, da-da-da-da, da-da-da, you can't touch this.
00:41:32Michael Jackson, the genius.
00:41:35Sometimes when you know a song so well, your head just won't take you to the other place.
00:41:41But creatively, I get what you did.
00:41:46But I kind of wish you hadn't.
00:41:50No, I'm only telling the truth.
00:41:53Loughlin, you're a dancer who really wants to sing, and I get it, and you can sing.
00:41:58But that was really fraught with danger with what you just did then.
00:42:03Yeah, no, definitely.
00:42:04It is, like, such an iconic song, and I'm such a big fan of Michael Jackson and that song in
00:42:08particular.
00:42:08So, yeah, I definitely understand where you're coming from, absolutely.
00:42:11And I think maybe because I'm such a big fan of that song, that's why I wanted to perform it.
00:42:15But, yeah, I absolutely see what you're saying, for sure.
00:42:19Lucky, that song is so technical, you know?
00:42:23And if you're going to do a technical song, you really want to hit those points because it's so, people
00:42:29are so familiar with it.
00:42:30It was just very left field.
00:42:33Yeah, vocally it didn't cut through, and that was just the wrong song.
00:42:39I appreciate that.
00:42:42It's so, you know, it's so difficult.
00:42:44You're in danger, though.
00:42:46You know, in a genius, like, it becomes danger in this game.
00:42:51So, Loughlin, you know, it's an unfortunate thing, but you are now put on notice.
00:43:09I've been put on notice.
00:43:11It's a little bit disappointing being put on notice again two days in a row.
00:43:17You have all those, like, voices in the back of your head saying, like, do I really deserve to be
00:43:22here?
00:43:23I don't think Top 30 Week has really shown the best to me at all.
00:43:27I'd definitely love to be given another chance.
00:43:30I'm not ready to go home yet.
00:43:33Next up is Kesha, the singing skier from Jindaby, who's hoping to somersault straight into your Top 21.
00:43:48My first composition was on Jindy Idol.
00:43:54It's a bit bigger than Jindy Idol, but this opportunity is just unreal.
00:43:58It's really cool.
00:43:59This is a world away from where you've come from.
00:44:01How's it feel?
00:44:02Yeah, cool.
00:44:03All the seats.
00:44:04Yeah, this will be all very full.
00:44:08Mosh pits.
00:44:09Mosh pits.
00:44:10Yeah, that's really bad.
00:44:12It's pretty cool to be here, let alone singing, like, on a stage with, you know, a hectic band and
00:44:18all the lights and the seats.
00:44:21And there's a lot of people that can fill up that space.
00:44:24And that's where the judges will be.
00:44:26Perfect.
00:44:27I'm doing a bit more of a kind of ballady type song.
00:44:30So, I hope I don't bore the judges and the audience members with that so I hope I can really
00:44:36connect to them on the storytellers level.
00:44:39And that will be a really cool achievement.
00:44:41So, yeah, fingers, toes crossed.
00:44:44Okay, Kesha.
00:44:48Give it up for Kesha.
00:45:11I can't write one song.
00:45:14It's not about you.
00:45:17I can't drink without thinking about you.
00:45:21Is it too late to tell you that everything means nothing if I can't have you?
00:45:29I'm in Toronto and I've got this view, but I might as well be in a hotel room.
00:45:39Doesn't matter cause I'm so consumed spending all my nights reading takes from you.
00:45:47And, oh, I'm good at keeping my distance.
00:45:52I know you're the feeling I'm missing you.
00:45:57No, I hate to admit it, but everything means nothing if I can't have you.
00:46:07Everything means nothing.
00:46:08I can't write one song.
00:46:11I can't write one song.
00:46:11I can't drink without thinking about you.
00:46:18Is it too late to tell you that everything means nothing if I can't have you?
00:46:26Everything means nothing if I can't have you.
00:46:54Wow.
00:46:56Kesha, our skier from the snowy mountains.
00:47:00That was gorgeous.
00:47:02I mean, it's not very often I watch someone and I think to myself, wow, that could be your song.
00:47:08I was just lost in it.
00:47:10Yeah.
00:47:10Thank you so much.
00:47:16Kesha, I'm quite aware that you gig.
00:47:18Yeah.
00:47:19How'd that feel?
00:47:20Oh, I love singing with the band.
00:47:22I just, I love sharing the stage with other musicians.
00:47:25It's the coolest feeling ever.
00:47:28It's so cool.
00:47:29And having everyone here is just like unreal.
00:47:31It's awesome.
00:47:38Your voice is just, yeah, it is, it is something else.
00:47:41It's like, it's crackly and it's like, it's emotional.
00:47:45Yeah, I, I, I cannot fault anything.
00:47:48Thank you so much.
00:47:50I appreciate it so much.
00:47:51No worries.
00:47:54I'm in.
00:47:56Once again, we ain't got nothing to say, but welcome to the top 21.
00:48:03I'm so happy to be there.
00:48:10This is cool, man.
00:48:13Oh, here we go.
00:48:15Yeah.
00:48:18Yeah.
00:48:22As Kesha celebrates.
00:48:24Well done.
00:48:25Our next performer is determined to put her top 30 week struggles behind her and continue
00:48:31on her idle journey.
00:48:33Alita, I wrote, looks great, sounds great, boring.
00:48:36In the group challenge, Amy mentioned that I didn't stand out.
00:48:41Although there were moments in that, I feel like it was the Jamie show.
00:48:45You're all going to be on notice.
00:48:48If I'm put on notice again, I'll be getting sent home.
00:48:52So this is so intense.
00:48:55This has been my dream, so I'm not going to give up anytime soon.
00:49:00I'm going to have to do whatever I can do to stand out.
00:49:04I've done a little tweaking to let's see how it goes.
00:49:07Yeah.
00:49:07You've got to make it your own, for sure.
00:49:09A little bit, yeah.
00:49:10For the solo challenge, I'm going to be singing Love Don't Cost A Thing by JLo, but I'm going
00:49:15to be Alita-fying it.
00:49:18I'm going to make little changes to the melody, bringing Alita into the song.
00:49:24I know you've changed up the verse melody.
00:49:28I think that you need to find a halfway point.
00:49:31Just work on that first verse in terms of melody.
00:49:33Yeah.
00:49:34Okay.
00:49:34Yes.
00:49:37I need to take that risk.
00:49:39I'm just going to put everything into it to stand out.
00:49:49Yeah.
00:49:50Yeah.
00:49:51I need to take that risk.
00:49:55Are we going to take that risk?
00:50:08Oh, yeah.
00:50:10Yeah.
00:50:10Come on.
00:50:11Yeah.
00:50:11Give me all the things I need
00:50:14That money can buy
00:50:17Think you gotta keep me out too long
00:50:19Think I'm gonna spend your cash out
00:50:21Even if you won't
00:50:23My love don't matter to me
00:50:35What happened?
00:50:37I think I felt good there
00:50:39I felt like I was vibing with the crowd
00:50:42And I just gave it my
00:50:43Oh, my energy
00:50:44It was feeling good
00:50:46Okay
00:50:48Because it didn't sound as if you'd found the note
00:50:51In the beginning
00:50:53You got it in the end
00:50:55But the beginning of the song
00:50:56It sounded like two totally different sounds
00:50:59Yeah, I thought you might have lost the lyrics for a second
00:51:01Do you know that you did that?
00:51:04I mean, I thought I was on
00:51:07Like pitch
00:51:08But maybe I was wrong
00:51:09To lose it and not know
00:51:11That's a worry
00:51:12Yeah
00:51:14Anyway, we're gonna have a chat
00:51:16About it
00:51:32At this point in time
00:51:33I have to be very honest
00:51:34I have to put you on notice
00:51:37Okay
00:51:38I'm so sorry
00:51:39But it is what it is
00:51:40Okay, thank you
00:51:42Thanks
00:51:46That's good
00:51:47We're gonna be direct
00:52:09I don't want to cry
00:52:11Music is my whole life
00:52:12So I just hope I will make it
00:52:18Yeah, it's not over
00:52:22Next
00:52:22The Cinderella story
00:52:25Your voice is so, so fragile
00:52:28You kind of don't know where you fit
00:52:30That will melt your heart
00:52:33I've been denied so many opportunities
00:52:35Because I'm different
00:52:36The fact that I'm here right now
00:52:38Is really, really, really special
00:52:41Then, for the singers on notice
00:52:45The judges have a massive twist
00:52:48We have decided
00:52:51That it's time
00:52:52For
00:52:54No
00:53:02With eight performers on notice
00:53:05And facing elimination
00:53:06From the competition
00:53:09Tonight's final singer
00:53:11Is forklift driver Jacinta
00:53:13Whose unique voice
00:53:14Caught the judges' attention
00:53:25It's a cool voice
00:53:26It's really cool
00:53:27It's really authentic
00:53:29And different
00:53:30You just are you
00:53:31Which is the trick
00:53:34Just had a lot of rejection
00:53:35And a lot of no
00:53:37So this means a lot
00:53:39Yeah
00:53:40To have made it this far
00:53:41Has already been such a blessing
00:53:45But I think to make the top 21
00:53:48Would be really special
00:53:53The biggest challenge
00:53:54Has been my confidence
00:53:56I just
00:53:57I really
00:53:58Struggled to back myself
00:53:59Yeah, I feel like I know it
00:54:01But I'm scared
00:54:02I'm going to miss it
00:54:03Did I?
00:54:04Okay, maybe I got it
00:54:05And I'm just in my head
00:54:06I know that there's
00:54:07An immense amount of pressure
00:54:08Coming with this solo performance
00:54:11Being in the theatre
00:54:12Seeing all the seats
00:54:13Knowing they're all going to be filmed
00:54:14Is a bit daunting
00:54:18Thinking about the pressure
00:54:19Does freak me out a little bit
00:54:20It's making me anxious
00:54:22And it's making me overthink
00:54:23I feel like I'm constantly
00:54:24At war with myself
00:54:25In my head
00:54:26I've had more doors
00:54:27Closed than open
00:54:28And so
00:54:29I really
00:54:30Yeah
00:54:31Hit in the shadows
00:54:32Really
00:54:32Pushed myself back
00:54:34Got in my little box
00:54:35Opportunities like this
00:54:36Don't come around
00:54:38Often
00:54:39Especially for people like me
00:54:44Coming into the solo challenge
00:54:46I really want to prove
00:54:47That
00:54:48I can
00:54:49Back myself
00:54:50I can be confident
00:54:51I can
00:54:52Own a stage
00:54:53And own a moment
00:54:54And not
00:54:55Hide away from it
00:54:56If I'm not supporting myself
00:54:58Or rooting for myself
00:54:59How can I expect anyone else
00:55:00To do that?
00:55:01Thank you
00:55:02Thank you
00:55:02Thank you
00:55:28You and me
00:55:30We used to be together
00:55:34Every day together
00:55:37Always
00:55:39I really feel
00:55:43That illusion
00:55:45My best friend
00:55:47I can't believe this could be
00:55:50The end
00:55:52It looks so slow
00:55:57You're letting go
00:55:59And if it's real
00:56:01Then I don't want to know
00:56:06Don't speak
00:56:08I know just what you're saying
00:56:10So please stop explaining
00:56:13Don't tell me cause it hurts
00:56:19Don't speak
00:56:20I know what you're thinking
00:56:23I don't need a reason
00:56:27Don't tell me cause it hurts
00:56:33I know what you're thinking
00:56:37I don't need a reason
00:56:41Don't tell me cause it hurts
00:56:52Don't tell me cause it hurts
00:56:54Thank you, thank you
00:56:57My God
00:56:59Jacinta, our forklift driver from Victoria
00:57:03Yes!
00:57:05She's our forklift driver
00:57:08you honestly that haunting voice is so gorgeous and I actually everyone's like oh we'd love to
00:57:16see Jacinta when we do the big glow-ups and like you know we get to that stage and stuff
00:57:19but I kind
00:57:20of like that you dress like Kurt Cobain I think it's sick yeah um your voice is so like it's
00:57:28so
00:57:29fragile yep it's a real niche sound and I love it but I do wonder where it's gonna go I've
00:57:39been
00:57:39denied so many opportunities because I'm different and I don't really fit anywhere um so the fact that
00:57:45I'm here right now and you're listening to me and giving me the time is is really really really
00:57:49special
00:57:58um I think inside you there's there's just fire you know I think each time you step out and we
00:58:05give you an opportunity you do rise and you light up you kind of don't know where you fit you
00:58:11fit just
00:58:12right my girl yeah it's way cooler not fitting in yeah yeah for sure all right give us two seconds
00:58:33um when you said I don't fit anywhere my heart really hurt because it actually took me so long to
00:58:40find my place as well and it's unbelievable what music can do because the second I
00:58:51was launched into it I'm like oh my god I found my people I can see that that's that's gonna
00:58:56happen
00:58:56to you eventually it's gonna open so many doors for you and um we would like to open the door
00:59:04of
00:59:04welcoming you to the top 21 oh my gosh thank you so much thank you thank you thank you
00:59:37I never ever ever in my wildest dreams thought I would make it top 21 of Australian Idol it is
00:59:43beyond anything I could ever dream of
00:59:49I feel like every challenge I put up against every every performance I'm slowly just
00:59:56getting more and more confident more myself just more sure of myself
01:00:06the judges have seen all of the solo performances and now they must decide who will be eliminated
01:00:15from the competition
01:00:20eight singers have been put on notice and for three of them their idol journey will end tonight
01:00:29this has been tough it's been full of surprises when I look at all these people on notice I'm
01:00:35actually shocked at who is there so I gotta be really honest I cannot believe that he's on the
01:00:42board because I yes I expected so much yes also she was really cool I know yeah as soon as
01:00:48she walked
01:00:49out I was like oh we've got a good one yeah and then it just it the wheels really fell
01:00:53off it's true
01:00:54yeah and this girl that worried me yeah yes so we've got these two girls yes all right they are
01:01:01super similar they want this exact same lane lane yeah and I don't think we can take both no let's
01:01:09do this
01:01:09well let's go all right
01:01:11next
01:01:15I'm hoping with everything in me that I make it through because this is what I've worked so hard for
01:01:21even though I'm a cheeky cowboy I'm committed this is my dream and I want to do this for the
01:01:26rest of my life
01:01:28who will survive and take their place in your top 21 and whose idle dreams are over
01:01:55after watching all of the solo performances the judges have to make their toughest decisions yet

01:05:29You're going to have to let Australia get to know you, Harry Lamb.
