00:00:00Tonight we take the last step to lock in our top 12.
00:00:05More incredible singers will aim to claim one of the four remaining spots.
00:00:10The final night of Transformation Week will be tough and the decisions even tougher.
00:00:15We're in for one unmissable night of music and makeovers.
00:00:20This is...
00:00:21Australian Idol!
00:00:37Good evening, Australia. I'm Ricky Lee.
00:00:41And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:00:42It is the final night of Transformation Week
00:00:45and tonight's singers will be taking to the stage with a fresh song
00:00:49and a fresh new look to prove they are the total package
00:00:52and worthy of a place in the top 12.
00:00:55We have eight singers already locked in. It's Jacinta, Harry, Harlan, Sophie...
00:01:02And Samella, Lily Grace, Charlie and Kesha.
00:01:06Looking very sharp over there, guys. Good to see you.
00:01:09Now, deciding which four singers will complete the top 12
00:01:13are your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:16Yes.
00:01:22Carl Sandilands!
00:01:25Marsha Hines!
00:01:26And Amy Sharks!
00:01:31Hi, guys.
00:01:32Hi, guys.
00:01:37Ricky Lee, good evening.
00:01:38Good evening, Scotty T.
00:01:40Amy Sharks had her own Transformation.
00:01:43Look at that!
00:01:44Look at that!
00:01:44Features a button.
00:01:54Welcome, judges.
00:01:55Wow, you look amazing tonight.
00:01:58All right, one by one, our singers will hit the stage tonight
00:02:02with their chosen song.
00:02:04And then it's over to the judges to make the momentous decision
00:02:08on who will round out the top 12.
00:02:10And let's not forget about the fast pass.
00:02:13This week, the judges were each given the power to send one singer
00:02:17they want directly into the top 12 without consulting their fellow judges.
00:02:22No ifs or buts.
00:02:24They just go straight through.
00:02:25Yes.
00:02:25And so far, Marsha used her fast pass on Charlie.
00:02:29And last night, Kyle used his on Harlan.
00:02:33And it was an incredible moment.
00:02:35Take a look at this.
00:02:36I can't fault that in any way, shape or form.
00:02:40The only thing I think I can do is...
00:02:42Give me an F!
00:02:43Fast!
00:02:43Give me a P!
00:02:45Ah!
00:02:48Straight through.
00:02:51No wait.
00:02:53How good was that?
00:02:55There's only one judge who hasn't used their fast pass yet.
00:02:59And that is Amy.
00:03:00Amy.
00:03:01Use it.
00:03:02Or lose it.
00:03:03I know.
00:03:03Well, I've just...
00:03:04I've got a feel...
00:03:05I have a good feeling about tonight.
00:03:06But I can't just give anybody my fast pass.
00:03:10You can't just give it out willy-nilly.
00:03:12No.
00:03:13Well, Kyle, it is another line-up of amazing singers from all different styles.
00:03:17Are you excited to see what is on the menu?
00:03:19Sure.
00:03:20Tonight, it looks like the variety is going to be from one end of the scale to the other.
00:03:24So, the last two nights have been fantastic.
00:03:26But we're in for quite the show this evening, I feel.
00:03:29We sure are.
00:03:30Got a bit of everything.
00:03:31Yes, absolutely.
00:03:32And Marsha, should we get this show on the road?
00:03:34Girlfriend, let's get this show on the road.
00:03:37Yes.
00:03:38Well, let's kick things off.
00:03:39Up first, all the way from Bunbury in WA.
00:03:43He's the 17-year-old who is keeping the spirit of the 50s and the 60s alive.
00:03:49For Transformation Week, he's refreshing and remixing more than just his look.
00:03:55Here is John.
00:04:02I'm going to call you Johnny Jutebox.
00:04:07It's Transformation Week.
00:04:10I've decided to do something a little bit different.
00:04:12Instead of singing a jukebox song, I'm going to be modernising one.
00:04:18Good to hear a pin dropping here, man.
00:04:21Hey there, man.
00:04:22So good.
00:04:23How are you?
00:04:24Good, man.
00:04:24Oh, thank you.
00:04:26I met up with Cyril who's like a global flippin' superstar.
00:04:30He's like the best DJ ever.
00:04:32He's had billions of streams.
00:04:35He's toured the world and he's released number one hits.
00:04:37I met up with him to get some advice on modernising classic old songs.
00:04:42I'm going to be remixing I Got You by James Brown.
00:04:46Oh, it's a great song.
00:04:47I feel like I could get some awesome advice from you.
00:04:49Yeah.
00:04:49Let's have a listen.
00:04:50Cyril's known for modernising old classic.
00:04:56It's like this part.
00:04:59Come out.
00:04:59Come out.
00:05:03Well, I feel good.
00:05:05Yeah, that's it.
00:05:06We are different.
00:05:08He's a DJ, I'm a singer.
00:05:09But there's so much stuff we have in common.
00:05:11You have an incredible voice.
00:05:12A lot of range.
00:05:15And he's the best of the best.
00:05:17So who's better to learn from than the best of the best?
00:05:20When I'm making my music, I'm always like, how will I know that I haven't gone too far
00:05:25from the original old song or taken too much of a risk?
00:05:30Well, there's two ways of going.
00:05:32First of all, when you do it and you see the comments, you'll find out off all the fans.
00:05:36Yeah.
00:05:36But the second way is just the feeling of it isn't.
00:05:40Yeah.
00:05:40Stick to what they did before.
00:05:42Because obviously something they did there was a hit and made millions of people love it.
00:05:46Make it a re-indition by not changing too much of the song, but using new sounds and putting a
00:05:51little twist in there.
00:05:52Some big advice that Cyril gave me is he talked about keeping the classic parts of the song so people
00:05:59still have the parts that they love and can connect with.
00:06:02Well man, good luck.
00:06:03I think you're gonna smash it.
00:06:05Thank you so much.
00:06:06Thanks man.
00:06:06It's a very big expectation to live up to.
00:06:14Johnny Jukebox is remixing his style and sound for a spot in the top 12.
00:06:20Taking a classic and cranking it up for a new generation, looking super sharp tonight, it's John.
00:06:45Oh, I feel good, I knew that I would now, I feel good, I knew that I would now.
00:06:59So good, so good, I got you.
00:07:04Oh, I feel nice, I feel nice, I sugar inspired.
00:07:11I feel nice, I sugar inspired.
00:07:18So nice, so nice, I got you.
00:07:24Here we go.
00:07:25Here we go.
00:07:27Woo!
00:07:31When I hold you in my arms, I know that I can't do no wrong.
00:07:39And when I hold you in the mouth, love won't do me no harm.
00:07:44And I feel nice, like sugar inspired.
00:07:51I feel nice, like sugar inspired.
00:07:58So nice, so nice, I got you.
00:08:03So good, so good, so good, I got you.
00:08:14I feel good.
00:08:38Bro.
00:08:41Wow.
00:08:43Wow.
00:08:44You know, Johnny, when we met you, you brought joy, you were a young kid, and I thought,
00:08:48look at this kid probably grew up with his grandparents but fabulous because who that's
00:08:53how you get exposed to these older songs and what you've done then and since we saw you on the
00:08:58auditions at least a dozen people have said I love that Johnny and I thought oh your name came back
00:09:04to me quite a lot which is interesting you people that stand out over the audition period thank you
00:09:09and I just thought that was great my friend also manages the estate of James Brown looks after his
00:09:15music so if you want a proper sample we can that's a phone call away yes really good that's
00:09:22impressive I can see that touring like that that works actually it works its ass off that's what
00:09:29that does you know John um you've always been that performer but you've just stepped it up again and
00:09:34you've brought it into you know where we are now musically also you know I talked about this song
00:09:40because this is one of my favorite songs it was done in 1965 wow James Brown was something I won't
00:09:48swear but he was that and a bag of chips and you did you did such justice to it and
00:09:54you brought it
00:09:55into the 21st century and from my heart I thank you man thank you oh my god Johnny what a

00:16:28me
00:16:30me
00:16:31me
00:16:31me
00:16:34me
00:16:45me
00:16:46me
00:16:49me
00:16:56me
00:16:57me
00:16:59me
00:17:01me
00:17:02me
00:17:02Hey, man.
00:17:05Hey, man.
00:17:05And child, are you always coming running to me?
00:17:13At my life, won't you let it in a certain world to me?
00:17:20You're alive, and I'm like my man.
00:17:27I ain't gonna tell.
00:17:32Why do you always coming running, taking all my loving from me?
00:17:55You know, Eva, your audition was so quite remarkable because when you came in to see
00:18:00us, you asked us what we wanted to hear, and you stood there and you executed that incredibly
00:18:08well.
00:18:10You're welcome.
00:18:10How'd this feel?
00:18:11It felt amazing, honestly.
00:18:13I've worked hard, and I feel like it's shown a little bit.
00:18:17Yeah, I'm so happy my family's here, my friends, and it's been amazing.
00:18:22Okay, cool.
00:18:22Well done.
00:18:27Ever, I agree with Marsha, your audition will be something that we will never forget,
00:18:32and you proved to the country just how talented you are, and you really are.
00:18:36You are so talented.
00:18:38You look incredible, okay?
00:18:40And that was not a bad performance, but Sabrina Carpenter, she already exists, and that's all
00:18:49I could kind of see is I was just seeing so much of her through that.
00:18:56And like I've sort of said to you before, it's like I really want to know who you are
00:19:01because I truly do believe you're a talent, and I just still didn't see you then.
00:19:09That's all.
00:19:10May I say something?
00:19:11You know, there's nothing in the world wrong with covering another artist because that's
00:19:17how we all learn as performers.
00:19:19You know, we learn as we go, and we copy.
00:19:21But when you're doing something that is so Sabrina, find you in it, Eva.
00:19:26Yeah.
00:19:27Find you.
00:19:28Okay?
00:19:29That's all we're really asking.
00:19:30We want to see who you are.
00:19:32Yeah.
00:19:32Okay?
00:19:34You're welcome.
00:19:37Ever.
00:19:38Oh, hold on.
00:19:40I dropped my pen.
00:19:43Listen, I think that was great.
00:19:45You wanted to show us that, hey, you want to be a pop star.
00:19:47This is the road you would go down, correct?
00:19:49I think so.
00:19:49If you win this contest, you can do a pop song, which is exactly what I'm really after.
00:19:54I thought it was great.
00:19:55I do listen to what Amy and Marsha say, and I do understand that, but I didn't see that.
00:20:00I saw a young, beautiful girl picking great songs.
00:20:03You executed it really well.
00:20:04You used the stage.
00:20:05I think on TV, it's going to be more powerful than it was in the room.
00:20:08Mm-hmm.
00:20:09Because after Johnny, everyone was so up.
00:20:12Yeah.
00:20:12And then everyone knows that song, but the energy level was only half.
00:20:16So you did a very good job execution-wise.
00:20:19You know what you can do.
00:20:20You know you've got the ability.
00:20:22Get out of your own head.
00:20:24Don't overthink it all.
00:20:26Yeah.
00:20:26And when they're saying, show us you, just be confident in just letting yourself make
00:20:32some decisions.
00:20:33It doesn't always have to be mirror image of other people.
00:20:37Yeah, 100%.
00:20:37We like you for you, so sometimes it just takes a big breath to show yourself.
00:20:42But we love you.
00:20:44Well done.
00:20:49Ever.
00:20:50Sparkling up here, looking beautiful.
00:20:53The judges' comments, how are you feeling?
00:20:54Good, good.
00:20:55I know I can still find myself in more songs.
00:20:57Yeah.
00:20:58I'm still working on that.
00:20:59Yeah.
00:20:59But yeah, I'm grateful for that.
00:21:01Well, this is a lifelong dream for you, as it is all of our idols.
00:21:05What would it mean to you to make it through to the top 12?
00:21:09It would mean everything to make it to top 12, because I know I'm progressing as an artist,
00:21:14and that means, yeah, everything to me.
00:21:16All right.
00:21:16Well, amazing performance.
00:21:17Head on over to the lounge, and everybody make some noise for Eva.
00:21:23We are zeroing in on completing our top 12, and Amy's fast pass is still in play.
00:21:32Will it go to soul singing waitress Wanwoo, cheeky cowboy Vince, Sydney dancer Lydia, doting
00:21:42dad Trey, or our next performer, Central Coast landscaper Kalani?
00:21:48Kalani has downed tools and upped the superstar factor to show he deserves a place in the top
00:21:5612.
00:21:57His makeover reveal and performance is after the break, so don't go anywhere.
00:22:12It's Transformation Week on Australian Idol, and tonight the last four places in the top
00:22:1812 will be decided.
00:22:20For our next singer, his original audition of Natalie Imbruglia's Torn has gone global.
00:22:26Millions of views, celebrity fans, and it's a world away from his life as a landscaper,
00:22:33but it's the performance tonight that matters most.
00:22:37From the central coast of New South Wales, here's Kalani.
00:22:44That was superb.
00:22:50Nan, I can't see ya.
00:22:52What's going on?
00:22:53I can't see me.
00:22:54You've got to put your face on the camera.
00:22:56Okay.
00:22:58Here we go.
00:22:58Can you see me?
00:23:00Yeah, I can.
00:23:01I'm at wardrobe.
00:23:01I'm just picking outfits.
00:23:04Oh my God.
00:23:05Do you reckon you can give me a hand?
00:23:07Yeah.
00:23:08Transformation Week means levelling up.
00:23:11I'm very used to being on site and laying fluro all the time, and I think restyling myself
00:23:15is going to do me a lot of favours.
00:23:17I'm about to hit the big stage, you know?
00:23:19It's a once in a lifetime thing I've got to present well.
00:23:22No shirt, tap tattoos out, and this top.
00:23:26Oh, gosh, no, no.
00:23:28Nan's honesty is brutal, but it's correct, so I've always got to listen.
00:23:35Look at that.
00:23:36No, I like that colour.
00:23:37Yeah.
00:23:38Yes, I really like that.
00:23:39Cool.
00:23:40No matter what you're wearing, Kalani, I can't wait to see you perform.
00:23:43I'll be thinking of ya.
00:23:44I'll be looking for ya in the crowd.
00:23:46I'm really ready to level up and lock in and make this my lifestyle.
00:23:50I'm ready to put the tools down and become the musician that I was always meant to be.
00:23:55It's the real deal now.
00:23:57How you going?
00:23:58How are ya?
00:23:59Great.
00:23:59Good to see you.
00:24:00Yeah, you too.
00:24:01Welcome to Top 21.
00:24:03Exciting.
00:24:03In my last performance, the judges did say that I didn't connect to the audience too much.
00:24:08You know, I closed my eyes, and I sort of go into my own world.
00:24:11My only fear is that because you're so effortless, you just need to really work out a way to be
00:24:17like,
00:24:17hey, all eyes on me.
00:24:23My one concern that's getting in the way of me being in the Top 12 would be my stage presence
00:24:28at this point.
00:24:29There's a little bit of a sway going on.
00:24:31Yeah, I think I'm just awkward.
00:24:32You're just kinda swaying.
00:24:32It's quite distracting.
00:24:33When there's just, let's say, a spotlight on you, stand there.
00:24:37Yep.
00:24:38Just kind of ground yourself.
00:24:39Yeah.
00:24:40For this performance, I need to give a little bit more of myself in order to connect with the crowd
00:24:45and the judges.
00:24:46Thinking maybe the mic stand, what are you thinking?
00:24:48Do you want to stand?
00:24:50How about we try it for the next run?
00:24:52Yeah, I'm not sure whether or not to, like, I'll see how it feels.
00:24:55It's my first time using a mic stand on Australian Idol, so it's very different.
00:24:59It's very important for me to take it to the next level and show the judges that I've levelled up.
00:25:05It's their decision whether or not I continue in this competition and I want it bad.
00:25:09Feel free to, like, stand and be with it.
00:25:12Stand your ground.
00:25:13The stakes are high for me because music has always been my passion and getting to the top 12 is
00:25:19gonna keep the dream alive.
00:25:21If I can't connect with the audience, it's all over.
00:25:28He's the shy tradie with an all-new confidence.
00:25:32He's ditched the flanny for some fresh new threads.
00:25:35Nanasu, his biggest fan, is proudly watching on from the crowd.
00:25:38From the central coast of New South Wales, it's Kalani!
00:25:48So lately, I've been wondering who'll be there to take my place when I'm gone.
00:26:00You'll need love to light the shadows on your face.
00:26:06And if a greater wave shall fall, it'd fall upon us all.
00:26:16Then between the sand and stone, won't you make it on you?
00:26:25If I could, then I would.
00:26:30I'll go wherever you will go.
00:26:34Way up high or down low.
00:26:39I'll go wherever you will go.
00:26:43Run away with my heart.
00:26:48Run away with my heart.
00:26:53Run away with my heart.
00:26:54Run away with my love.
00:27:01I know now is quite how, my life and love might still go on.
00:27:10In your heart, in your mind
00:27:14I'll stay with you for all the time
00:27:19If I could turn back time
00:27:27If I could make you mine
00:27:32I'd go wherever you would go
00:27:43Wherever we will go
00:27:51Thank you
00:28:08That's such a still, still song, Kalani
00:28:11And the amount of heart you just showed in that song was beautiful
00:28:16Thank you
00:28:16You know, I mean, you chose something relatively known
00:28:20And you took it to another place
00:28:22And, you know, I've been impressed with you since day one
00:28:25You know, and all I'm going to say to you
00:28:27Is make sure you continue to listen to your grandma
00:28:30Always, always
00:28:32Grandma knows best
00:28:33She does, she does
00:28:34You did a great job, Kalani
00:28:35Thank you so much
00:28:36Proud of you
00:28:36I appreciate that
00:28:41Mate, that was like a spiritual
00:28:43Sorry, Carl, I'm going to have to cut you off for a second
00:28:45Because I had my first pash to that song
00:28:48You had your first pash?
00:28:50Pash
00:28:50And I don't want to give you a pash
00:28:52But I have something else I feel like I want to give you
00:28:54No
00:28:56Better than a pash
00:28:57I would like to give you my fast pass
00:29:00Oh, Amy
00:29:03Wow
00:29:04Holy moly
00:29:08That's insane
00:29:13Congratulations
00:29:15That's wild
00:29:17My goodness, Kalani
00:29:18You just received Amy's fast pass
00:29:22You are automatically straight through to the top 12
00:29:25Thank you so much
00:29:28I'm speechless
00:29:29How amazing is that?
00:29:31You're in the top 12
00:29:32Yeah
00:29:32This is honestly
00:29:33It means so much
00:29:34Thanks honestly so much
00:29:36To all of the support from everyone
00:29:37It's been insane
00:29:38And Amy
00:29:39That's just
00:29:40That's you know
00:29:41All I could have asked for
00:29:42More than I could have asked for
00:29:44I'm stoked to
00:29:45You know
00:29:45Be this far in the competition
00:29:46And that is just
00:29:47Hey
00:29:47Can I just ask a question about the pash?
00:29:50No
00:29:51Of course mate
00:29:51No
00:29:52No timing
00:29:53Okay
00:29:53Okay
00:29:55Kalani

00:31:34From Melbourne
00:31:35It is
00:31:36Wan Wu
00:31:43What's your name?
00:31:44Wan Wu
00:31:45I thought I was watching
00:31:46A superstar
00:31:47Top 21
00:31:49Top 21
00:31:52Australian Idol
00:31:53Oh my lord
00:31:54Yeah
00:31:5421
00:31:55Flip it around
00:31:56Wan Wu
00:31:56For the one too
00:31:57Get me in the top 12
00:31:59It's kind of surreal
00:32:00That I'm here right now
00:32:01Yesterday I was just
00:32:03Working
00:32:03And today
00:32:04I'm about to perform
00:32:05On one of the biggest stages
00:32:06In Australia
00:32:07I need to do some vocal
00:32:08I feel like I've yelled too much
00:32:11I've been doing a lot of vocal work
00:32:12A lot of vocal prep
00:32:13I've worked on my pitch
00:32:16Which was a really big note
00:32:17That I kept on getting
00:32:18From the judges
00:32:23I really do think I'm annoying the neighbors
00:32:25I really do think I'm annoying the neighbors
00:32:26Want you to make me feel
00:32:28Like I'm the only girl
00:32:29My song this week is
00:32:30Only Girl in the World by Rihanna
00:32:32But for transformation week
00:32:34I also will be adding a little something extra
00:32:36Little babe
00:32:37I drive you crazy
00:32:38Wondering why
00:32:39A little bit more spice
00:32:40Only one who doesn't rap
00:32:43I've come up with a little bit of a rap
00:32:45Like the judges have never really heard me rap
00:32:48So that is my transformation
00:32:50Ah!
00:32:51Top 21 week
00:32:52You're ready for me
00:32:54Okay
00:32:54Make me the only girl in the world
00:32:57The only girl in the world
00:33:01Towards the end
00:33:03I just think your voice was just losing a bit of steam
00:33:05You can add new elements
00:33:07But that's going to take energy
00:33:08I just don't want you to lose
00:33:10What I already have
00:33:11Yeah
00:33:12What you have
00:33:12And why you're here
00:33:13Yeah
00:33:15If I'm adding in a new element
00:33:16I can't like be flaking in certain parts
00:33:19Singing, rapping
00:33:21Everything needs to mesh
00:33:23And I need to be cautious about my stamina
00:33:26I just want all of the elements to come together
00:33:28Yeah
00:33:28I don't want to taste every single flavor
00:33:30I want it to be a blend
00:33:32Yeah
00:33:33Oh my gosh
00:33:34It's a bit more daunting
00:33:35Than you think it'll be
00:33:41Transformation week asked her to switch things up
00:33:45And she has delivered
00:33:47Her proud family is cheering her on
00:33:50Especially mum Yasser

00:36:18Hey
00:36:19That really
00:36:20Top level performance
00:36:22You're always good
00:36:23Always
00:36:24And you came out
00:36:25With your little sassy midriff
00:36:27And the skirt
00:36:28That looks like
00:36:29The lint collection
00:36:30Out of my dryer
00:36:32It's a great look
00:36:33You sound brilliant
00:36:35There's no notes
00:36:37And the thing I love
00:36:38The best about you
00:36:39Is you're so confident
00:36:40And naturally gifted
00:36:41That when you strut around the stage
00:36:43You don't have to think
00:36:45You're doing
00:36:45You're touching everyone's hands
00:36:46You're not choreographed
00:36:48You're just doing it
00:36:49And that's what superstars do, baby
00:36:50Welcome
00:36:51It's excellent
00:36:59One more
00:37:00The whole thing about this industry, honey
00:37:03It's attitude
00:37:04And you have got that in spades
00:37:07You are all over this, you know
00:37:09You walked out
00:37:10And I know it's difficult
00:37:12To sort of acknowledge the audience
00:37:14And sing
00:37:15And do Australian Idol
00:37:16Because it's really your first big one, right?
00:37:18You did so well, honey
00:37:20You did so well
00:37:21It's all about attitude
00:37:24I'm proud of you
00:37:25You are
00:37:27One where I agree with these guys
00:37:29But you just made that look so effortless
00:37:31And that's what we want to see
00:37:33We want everyone to just keep going up
00:37:35And up
00:37:35And up
00:37:35And like what Carl said
00:37:37You walked around the stage
00:37:38And it's like
00:37:38Oh, I'm here
00:37:39Oh, look
00:37:39And there's the camera
00:37:40It's like
00:37:40It's just so
00:37:41You're just so meant to be up there
00:37:43You've got this
00:37:44Your own genre
00:37:46And like what Marsha said
00:37:48A lot of what this is
00:37:49Is personality, right?
00:37:51That's what wins fans
00:37:52That's why people wake up in the morning
00:37:54And they're like
00:37:54You know what?
00:37:55I want to watch one Wu's Instagram story
00:37:57That's what you need to get
00:37:58And I would

00:39:57In New South Wales
00:39:59He's taking on a global chart topper
00:40:02That is going to get this place pumping
00:40:04Idle will be back in a moment
00:40:18Welcome back to Transformation Week on Idle

00:40:49You have to check it out
00:40:50Not that, the song
00:40:52It's called the biggest car
00:40:53I'm just going to keep on moving
00:40:54This is the last night of Transformation Week
00:40:57And as the show goes on
00:40:59The bar keeps rising
00:41:01What?
00:41:01And so does the pressure
00:41:04With Amy's fast parts being awarded to Kalani
00:41:07There are only three precious spots left
00:41:10In next week's top 12
00:41:11Hoping to be there
00:41:13Is our country singer
00:41:14From regional New South Wales
00:41:16Vince
00:41:22You're just so cheeky
00:41:23And so cute
00:41:24Just don't think
00:41:25You don't understand
00:41:27Turn it up
00:41:29Thank you, darling
00:41:35Mother's necked up
00:41:36Yeah, this week
00:41:37I'm singing a bar song
00:41:38By Shabuzi
00:41:39Yeah, I did take this song
00:41:40From a pub song
00:41:41To something that is worthy
00:41:43To be on the old estate
00:41:44The judges are
00:41:45Not just looking for a transformation of looks
00:41:48It's also the voice
00:41:50There's still so much work to do
00:41:54The vocals just aren't there
00:41:57The criticism has been good
00:41:58And I've taken everything on
00:42:00That's for sure
00:42:01I have been practicing my top 21 song everywhere
00:42:05We are in the car
00:42:07We're at the pub
00:42:08We're at work
00:42:09We're in the shower
00:42:11Literally everywhere
00:42:13Hey, beautiful
00:42:14How are you going?
00:42:15How are you feeling?
00:42:16Good, excited
00:42:17Good to be back on stage
00:42:24It's not easy to sing and dance, is it?
00:42:26No, it's not
00:42:27It's too thought
00:42:27I'm a male
00:42:28Males don't multitask
00:42:30Trying to follow along
00:42:31But I lost my way
00:42:33Honestly, I'm going great
00:42:35On that
00:42:36And back
00:42:37And then N on the B
00:42:38You're meant to shake, tush
00:42:39Anyways
00:42:40I love it, I love it
00:42:41I love that you're just bringing all the elements
00:42:43To just remember at the end of the day
00:42:44The judges and I guess Australia
00:42:46Will want to see
00:42:47What you've been working on
00:42:49The improvement
00:42:50Yeah
00:42:51So I feel like the vocals are just better
00:42:52The end part
00:42:54Those vocals just kind of
00:42:55Drifted off
00:42:56Like I totally forgot I was singing
00:42:57Yeah
00:42:57Because I kind of just drifted
00:42:59I could definitely hear myself drift off
00:43:00We don't want that for you
00:43:01No
00:43:01There is a worry
00:43:03That I might let the vocals slip
00:43:05Because of how much I entertain
00:43:06And how much I move around
00:43:07Answer me pants
00:43:11There's lots of proofs to the judges
00:43:12And I want to show them
00:43:14That I'm not going anywhere
00:43:18Here's the top 21 league
00:43:23Looking every bit the country idol
00:43:26And hoping to impress the judges
00:43:28He's our cheeky cowboy
00:43:30But tonight
00:43:31He means business
00:43:32Hold on to your hats Australia

00:45:55You know, like I said from the get-go, Vince, I got my eyes on you, okay?
00:46:01Hard to go on you tonight, Marsha
00:46:02Well, thank you so much
00:46:04You look, you know, you came out with that really great country and western swagger
00:46:08Which I just adore
00:46:09And it's just such a good look
00:46:11And look, I think you did the best you could
00:46:14And I got a question at harmonica though, my brother, you know, because, uh, yeah
00:46:18You don't like a man blowing an organ that doesn't get it off for you?
00:46:23You did not say that
00:46:25With his thumb down there where his junk is
00:46:28Yeah, I was trying to find it a bit now
00:46:29I liked it
00:46:30Where is this thing, eh?
00:46:32It was like seven different people on stage
00:46:34I heard seven different voices
00:46:37And then you were high and you were low
00:46:39You were doing a whole band
00:46:40You are entertaining
00:46:42My brother works on I Heart Country Australia
00:46:46Loves country music
00:46:47Tori Dark, another person on the country music circuit in Australia
00:46:51She loves you
00:46:52The country music world has exploded
00:46:55Because of you two country artists
00:46:57Yeah, yeah
00:46:57Now, will you get through?
00:47:00Probably not
00:47:01But you're loved in that community
00:47:03You go and talk to everyone
00:47:05People drag you up on stage at these festivals
00:47:07Is that true?
00:47:08Yeah, they do
00:47:08We have an absolute bowl up there
00:47:10I know Tori
00:47:11She's a great mentor
00:47:12Everyone in that music scene
00:47:14That country music scene
00:47:15They're so alive
00:47:16They're so into you guys
00:47:18It's a real community
00:47:19And supportive
00:47:19Yeah, and if it doesn't work out for you here
00:47:21And let's face it
00:47:22It's probably not going to
00:47:23That's alright
00:47:23I came here to have some fun, mate
00:47:25You go back to that place that love you
00:47:27And you keep building
00:47:28Because you've got a lot of what you need
00:47:30Yes
00:47:31But you've just got to shed the stuff that's not you
00:47:34And just keep the stuff that you can pull off
00:47:36Because you've got skills
00:47:38You're just a little bit schizophrenic
00:47:40I think you're in this competition
00:47:42Where unfortunately, you know, you're up against it
00:47:44You're up against some voices that
00:47:46This country has never
00:47:47We never thought we'd find
00:47:49Like really incredible stuff
00:47:52And it does
00:47:53It's harder for you
00:47:54Because you're going on a different lane
00:47:57You know
00:47:57You are such an entertainer
00:48:00You're definitely born to do something
00:48:03Spectacular
00:48:03Yeah, like you're the guy that's like
00:48:05This place is boring
00:48:06Let's call Vince
00:48:07Like it's
00:48:08You're just
00:48:10You're such a
00:48:10That's why you're here
00:48:11That's why you made it so far
00:48:13Is because that's how
00:48:14That's how
00:48:15Addictive your personality is
00:48:17Which is
00:48:18So incredible, man
00:48:19And I think with the vocals
00:48:21You can work on them
00:48:22But here
00:48:22It just pokes out too much
00:48:24Just because
00:48:24Of what you're up against
00:48:26I've learned a lot
00:48:26From all these
00:48:27Beautiful artists over here
00:48:29From everyone around me
00:48:31It's been just an amazing
00:48:32Oh my god
00:48:32He's going to start crying
00:48:33I'm not going to start crying
00:48:34I can hear it in your voice
00:48:36He's going to
00:48:36I'm pretty sure
00:48:37You got more tissues
00:48:38Out this season
00:48:38Than I have
00:48:39Whoa

00:48:50And I feel like
00:48:51I recognise that dancing

00:48:53Because that's how Scotty dances
00:48:54Who is he?
00:48:56Scotty
00:48:57That's how Scotty dances
00:48:58Vince, how was that for you?

00:50:35Decisions

00:50:53That's the best
00:50:55You've ever been
00:50:56Actually smashed it
00:50:57Am I in the right place?
00:50:59Hi Lydia
00:51:00You are
00:51:00Hello
00:51:01How are you?
00:51:02I've been performing
00:51:02On stage my whole life
00:51:03Dancing, singing
00:51:05And dancing
00:51:06Has taken me
00:51:08Around the world
00:51:09I performed
00:51:10In America
00:51:11It was just
00:51:12A life changing experience
00:51:13Woo
00:51:14Alright
00:51:14Let's do it
00:51:16Yeah
00:51:17I'm just excited
00:51:17To get on stage
00:51:18And put on
00:51:19An amazing performance
00:51:21What song are you singing?
00:51:22I am singing
00:51:23Burned by Jessica Mowboy
00:51:25It's top 21
00:51:26The stakes are high
00:51:28We gotta lock in
00:51:31Look like a dancer
00:51:33Me
00:51:34Hey
00:51:37You a dancer?
00:51:38Yes
00:51:39Can you use the dancing
00:51:40A bit more?
00:51:41That's what you have
00:51:42Yeah
00:51:43In this competition
00:51:44Yeah
00:51:44That's different
00:51:44To everybody else
00:51:45I wanted to do a bit more
00:51:46But then I just kind of
00:51:47Got stuck there
00:51:48Okay
00:51:49It's a big scene too
00:51:50It's a big scene
00:51:51That's why I was scared
00:51:52To do some Corey
00:51:53Because I'm like
00:51:54I need to breathe
00:51:55My biggest concern is
00:51:57My biggest concern is
00:51:58I repeat a flop 30 week
00:52:02I combined singing and dancing
00:52:04And it didn't go well
00:52:05Can't get you out of my head
00:52:08You are all so much better than that
00:52:12When you are singing
00:52:14Move to the notes
00:52:18Or don't do it at all
00:52:19Don't do it
00:52:21Don't do it
00:52:21Don't do it
00:52:21I know that you're trying to find that balance
00:52:23To not lose the vocal
00:52:25Yeah
00:52:25I think you need to push it
00:52:27The most important thing is
00:52:28It's top 21
00:52:29We want you to elevate
00:52:31This can't just be good
00:52:33It needs to be next level
00:52:36This is a huge performance
00:52:38And getting the balance
00:52:39Of singing and dancing
00:52:40Is crucial
00:52:42I need to get this right
00:52:43I cannot have another car crash
00:52:47At this stage of the competition
00:52:49This needs to be flawless
00:52:52I can do this
00:52:59She's the fiery redhead
00:53:01Set to burn up the idol stage

00:55:46Absolutely incredible.
00:55:48And she's right, man.
00:55:50That was like all cylinders go.
00:55:53Like, you know exactly how to move because you're a dancer.
00:55:57You can somehow manage that incredible voice at the same time.
00:56:01You look great.
00:56:03You're really, you're just a really lovable character
00:56:05who has all this talent as well.
00:56:07That, we should be really proud of that, babe.
00:56:09That was great.
00:56:10Thank you so much.
00:56:18You know, Jessica's my baby girl because, you know,
00:56:21we found Jessica up at Alice and I've seen the transformation
00:56:26and the talent and her work ethic and all that is.
00:56:29And I heard you were singing this song, Lydia,
00:56:32and I went, oh, no, no, no, no.
00:56:34But I'm going to say this.
00:56:35Yes, yes, yes, yes.
00:56:37Well done.
00:56:38Well done.
00:56:40You're welcome.
00:56:40Thank you so much.
00:56:42I've got to admit, I was worried too.
00:56:44Remember when we found Jessica?
00:56:45We were spitting all the flies out.
00:56:46Yeah, we were.
00:56:46Flies.
00:56:47Blah.
00:56:48There.
00:56:49No more open desert auditions, I'd say.
00:56:51No, for sure.
00:56:52Um, I was nervous for you as well because Jessica's a great vocalist,
00:56:57but you sang that song like it was yours and like you were at the Arias
00:57:02and you were doing a live performance.
00:57:03I just thought the whole time this is your song.
00:57:08It didn't register as Jessica's song at all.
00:57:10Oh, my gosh.
00:57:10Which is the true sign of exactly what you need to do.
00:57:13And I thought the only person that wobbled like that was me
00:57:16when I was getting out of the shower, you know, during the beat.
00:57:19And I was like, ooh, I like that.
00:57:21That reminds me of me.
00:57:23Yeah.
00:57:24So I loved it.
00:57:24You did an amazing job.
00:57:25Good luck tonight.
00:57:26Thank you so much.
00:57:30Wow.
00:57:30That's a visual.
00:57:32That's a gorgeous visual.
00:57:34Lydia, you sang the hell out of that and you look smoking hot, girlfriend.
00:57:41How did that feel?
00:57:42Oh, it just felt so good to be on here
00:57:47and just sing the hell out of my idol, Jessica Mowboy.
00:57:52And, yeah, it just felt really good.
00:57:54I've had fun.
00:57:56It was amazing.
00:57:57That was one of Jess Mowboy's first massive hits.
00:58:01And I know she's at home watching tonight.
00:58:03Is there anything you'd like to say to Jess?
00:58:05Jessica Mowboy, I love you so much.
00:58:09Thank you for letting me sing your song.
00:58:11I hope you liked it.
00:58:13She would love it.
00:58:14OK, Lydia, fingers crossed.
00:58:16You've done enough for a place in the top 12.
00:58:19Make some noise for Lydia, everyone.
00:58:20Thank you so much.
00:58:25OK, one more performance before the judges have to make the impossible decision
00:58:30of who stays and who goes.
00:58:32Last up is Trey, our doting dad from Melbourne,
00:58:35who is hoping to make it into the top 12.
00:58:38He's bringing romance to the stage with his take on a Grammy-winning hit
00:58:42by Boyz II Men.
00:58:44Trey hits the Idol stage after this.
00:58:58Welcome back to Idol.
00:58:59Shortly, dreams will be debated and destiny is decided
00:59:02as the judges announce who runs out the top 12.
00:59:06Last to sing tonight is Trey.
00:59:09And already cheering him on, you can see right here, is Annie.
00:59:12And we've also got Silas over here.
00:59:13But Victoria, his wife, Victoria, you must be so excited to see him on stage.
00:59:18Any last words of good luck?
00:59:19Yeah, good luck.
00:59:21Your girls are here to support you always.
00:59:23And I know you're going to kill it, so.
00:59:25Oh, thank you so much.
00:59:27Annie, we've got good news for you.
00:59:29Dad's about to sing right now on stage.
00:59:31He's going to be over there.
00:59:31If you want to turn around and see Dad, he's about to sing.
00:59:34It's going to be super exciting.
00:59:36Well, let's not keep him waiting any longer for Melbourne, everybody.
00:59:39Ready?
00:59:39This is Trey!
00:59:48That was gorgeous.
00:59:50I felt every word.
00:59:53Nobody pray for me.
00:59:55It's been that day for me.
00:59:58Yeah, yeah.
01:00:00I'm feeling good for Transformation Week.
01:00:02It's just early morning here in the gym.
01:00:05It's making sure I feel ready physically and mentally.
01:00:09Yeah, it feels incredible to be in the top 21.
01:00:11It's a blessing to be in this position.
01:00:14And the feedback's been amazing.
01:00:17You know, I see a lot of comments about the R&B, the back at one.
01:00:21It's cool to, you know, get that vibe.
01:00:22There's some funny comments, man, going through them.
01:00:24Like, hot dad or, like, hot bod.
01:00:28It's like, bro, I'm fully clothed.
01:00:31I definitely have a laugh with my wife when it comes to the comments.
01:00:35How are you going?
01:00:36Good to see you.
01:00:36Good to see you too.
01:00:38Welcome.
01:00:39Thank you so much.
01:00:40You are singing?
01:00:40Boyz II Man, I'll Make Love To You.
01:00:42So, yeah, the ultimate R&B song.
01:00:44I feel like there may be a few more comments after this.
01:00:47Yeah, hopefully.
01:00:50I was raised on Boyz II Man.
01:00:52It's a sexy love song.
01:00:54It's just, like, celebrating love and what love should be.
01:01:00Yeah, this one definitely goes out to the wife.
01:01:03I mean, the vocals on these...
01:01:05Yeah, it's not easy.
01:01:06It's not an easy one to sing.
01:01:08Okay, let's have another one.
01:01:11Close your eyes, make a wish
01:01:16And pour on our life
01:01:21How did that feel?
01:01:23Focusing, okay.
01:01:24Nail this note.
01:01:25Yeah.
01:01:25And I think I'm in my head too much.
01:01:27Everything else was out the window, in my head.
01:01:29You actually nailed it the first time and then you started, like, panicking.
01:01:32Like, vocally it sounded better, yeah.
01:01:34And then you just, like, panicked.
01:01:35Yeah.
01:01:36Yeah.
01:01:37This performance is huge.
01:01:39You know, I've got to connect with...
01:01:41Not only connect with this song, but making sure that the judges can see that I'm present in the moment
01:01:46and, you know, not inside my head.
01:01:48Because your eyes show that you're overthinking.
01:01:51Yeah.
01:01:52They really do.
01:01:53It's a lot to think about.
01:01:58Especially because this song is so big and such a classic.
01:02:01It would be an honour to be in the top 12 and be able to be given the chance to
01:02:06show Australia what I've got.
01:02:12He's the doting dad and loving husband who's looking like a total boss tonight.
01:02:18Stepping onto the stage to make his family proud.
01:02:22From Melbourne, this is Trey.
01:02:31Close your eyes, make a wish, and blow out the candle lights.
01:02:40For tonight.
01:02:43For tonight is just your night.
01:02:46We're gonna celebrate.
01:02:49All through the night.
01:02:51All through the night, pour the wine, the light of fire.
01:02:56Girl, your wish is my command.
01:03:01Girl, your wish is my command.
01:03:01I submit to your demands.
01:03:05I will do anything.
01:03:08I will do anything.
01:03:09Girl, you need only ask.
01:03:11I'll make love to you.
01:03:13Like you want me to.
01:03:16And I'll hold you tight.
01:03:18Baby, all through the night.
01:03:21I'll make love to you.
01:03:23When you want me to.
01:03:26And I will not let go.
01:03:30Baby, tonight is a night that I will do you right.
01:03:39Just make a wish on your night.
01:03:44Just make a wish on your night.
01:03:45Anything that you wish, I will give you the love of your life.
01:03:52Your life, your life, your life.
01:03:56I'll make love and hold you tight.
01:04:05I'll make love to you.
01:04:08And I will not let go to you.
01:04:13Tell me to.
01:04:15And I will not let go to you.
01:04:18Tell me to.
01:04:23Hey, hey.
01:04:52Trey, fantastic.
01:04:53I knew you were going to sing that song.
01:04:55I was so excited.
01:04:56You nailed it.
01:04:57And the great thing for me is I put that song on when I'm making love too.
01:05:00And I never heard the end.
01:05:02It was lovely to hear the end of the song for us.
01:05:08Mate, you deserve to be on a show like this.
01:05:12And you know what I love about you watching those packages?
01:05:14You're not a hero.
01:05:16You're a decent, dedicated human being.
01:05:19And that's the type of person that I want to be on this show.
01:05:23Well done.
01:05:25You know, probably for the first time, you did speak of your wife and the babies.
01:05:32But you actually gave something of yourself, Trey.
01:05:35I'm so pleased that you're a one-man woman.
01:05:38That's very important.
01:05:39But every woman here is looking at you going, yeah.
01:05:44Okay?
01:05:45Even some of the guys are doing that too.
01:05:48You've got to remember, that's who you're working to.
01:05:50You know what I mean?
01:05:51You keep your wife in your heart and soul and your mind and your babies always.
01:05:56But there's such a thing.
01:05:57I mean, I think I'm looking at the sex symbol here.
01:06:00I think you're right.
01:06:01You know, I'm so serious.
01:06:03No, I'm good.
01:06:04No, I'm good.
01:06:04No, I'm good.
01:06:05I'm taken.
01:06:06You two need to calm down.
01:06:07No, but I'm trying to tell you what you need to do to excel.
01:06:12I am so proud of you.
01:06:13You're representing R&B in the best way possible on this show.
01:06:17And thank you.
01:06:18I'm so glad to have you, man.
01:06:19That means a lot.
01:06:24Trey, yeah, I'll be the one professional one here.
01:06:29Okay.
01:06:29That was really hot.
01:06:32No, you honestly, man, it's like you can't teach what you have.
01:06:37You've just got this ultimate charisma.
01:06:40You're extremely cool.
01:06:41You can tell you're just a really decent, honest human being.
01:06:45And that's what everyone wants to be.
01:06:47So you're just this, you're the epitome of what we need for our Australian idol, you know?
01:06:53And that, I think, was your best performance I've seen.
01:06:56Thank you so much.
01:06:57It really means a lot.
01:06:59Really cool.
01:07:02Oh, Trey.
01:07:03Hi, Ricky.
01:07:04That was amazing.
01:07:05That was amazing.
01:07:06Your beautiful wife is in the audience tonight.
01:07:09And your girls, did you have to get clearance from her to sing a saucy song like that on TV?
01:07:13It's a pretty sexy song, isn't it?
01:07:15It's a very sexy song.
01:07:16Hi, baby.
01:07:17Hi.
01:07:17Hi, sweetheart.
01:07:18You did amazing.
01:07:19You're doing amazing as well.
01:07:20I know she's probably being a nightmare.
01:07:22Aw.
01:07:23Talk to Daddy.
01:07:23Talk to Daddy.
01:07:24Say hi, Dad.
01:07:25Hi, Daddy.
01:07:26Annie, over here, baby.
01:07:28Hi, sweetheart.
01:07:29Dad.
01:07:29Hi, beautiful girl.
01:07:31Hi.
01:07:32Hi.
01:07:32Aw, Trey.
01:07:33I just love that you are bringing smooth R&B to this stage and screens around Australia.
01:07:40What is it about R&B music that you love so much?
01:07:44Well, I just think it's love.
01:07:46R&B is love.
01:07:47I think, you know, with I'll Make Love To You with Boyz II Men, it's just the perfect way
01:07:51to put love.
01:07:52It's positive.
01:07:53It's not putting anyone down.
01:07:55It's just the timeless music.
01:07:56So, yeah, that's what I love about R&B.
01:07:58It's timeless.
01:07:59Wow, I never really thought of it like that.
01:08:01No, you didn't, did you?
01:08:01I really didn't.
01:08:02No.
01:08:02I'm having a rebel correlation over here, my goodness.
01:08:06I thought it was just so hot and sweet.
01:08:08All these years.
01:08:09All these years.
01:08:10Well, Trey, your top 12 dreams could come true in just a matter of moments.
01:08:15Make some noise, everybody, for Trey.
01:08:22Did you know that, Scott?
01:08:24You've got to behave yourself.
01:08:25Everyone in here, behave yourselves.
01:08:26Time now for the judges to confer over the most important verdict of the series so far.
01:08:33Earlier, Kalani was given a fast pass by Amy, allowing him to skip the queue and head directly
01:08:40into next week's top 12.
01:08:42That now leaves six singers vying for the final three spots.
01:08:47The competition has never been tougher.
01:08:50Kyle, Marsha and Amy will now make the painstaking choice of who makes the top 12 and whose idle
01:08:55journey ends tonight.
01:08:57The future of this competition is in their hands.
01:09:01The judges' biggest decision yet revealed after the break.
01:09:13You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026.
01:09:18They'll win a life-changing $100,000.
01:09:23Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards and the TV Week Logie Awards.
01:09:29Boost their brand with the annex, the experts in marketing and social media.
01:09:35Attend a songwriting camp with Sony Music Publishing and score an exclusive package to record new music
01:09:42at Sydney's Hive Sound Studios.
01:09:49What an awesome prize reserved exclusively for the winner of Australian Idol 2026.
01:09:56Now all the performances are done.
01:09:59The fate of our singers lies in the hands of our judges.
01:10:03We have eight singers already through and tonight, Amy used her fast pass on Kalani,
01:10:10which sent him directly into the top 12.
01:10:13Congratulations Kalani.
01:10:17Now that leaves six singers competing for just three spots.
01:10:23For the last time on Transformation Week, here we go.
01:10:32Kyle, who is the first singer you've chosen to be in the top 12?
01:10:41It was a tough night tonight.
01:10:44We really had to put our heads together backstage and figure out from start to finish,
01:10:50every time we've seen you guys, who's grown.
01:10:53Transformation Week, who's sunk into that.
01:10:56You've all done an amazing job so far and that's just part of the toughness of being a judge here.
01:11:01We did too well in the auditions.
01:11:03Now it's our own fault.
01:11:05Now this person tonight though, they showed us that they are ready to deliver.
01:11:09Every time we've seen them, they step up, up.
01:11:12I think they're leaping up three steps at a time.
01:11:14That's what we're looking for here.
01:11:15So into the top 12, the first person we're putting through tonight is...
01:11:31I want to say yee-haw, but that's not her name.
01:11:36What's your name again?
01:11:36One woo!
01:11:38Yee-haw!
01:11:41Yee-haw!
01:11:41You're through, baby!
01:11:45One woo!
01:11:46Get through!
01:11:48And cycling into the top 12!
01:11:52Look at them!
01:11:54Go mama!
01:11:55Go mama!
01:11:56Go mama!
01:11:57Go mama!
01:11:57Go mama!
01:11:57Go!
01:11:57Go mama!
01:11:58Go mama!
01:11:59That is huge!
01:12:01What is going through your mind right now?
01:12:04One woo for the one-two.
01:12:06For real!
01:12:07For the one-two!
01:12:08Whoa!
01:12:10Oh my golly!
01:12:11Thank you so much!
01:12:12You've been holding my hand.
01:12:13I don't even know you, but I know you now.
01:12:14She's been...
01:12:16Wowie!
01:12:16This is...

01:12:36such gifted and talented judges, I am just, I feel, you deserve it, Wanwoo, go and celebrate in the lounge,
01:12:44congratulations, Wanwoo!
01:12:45Well done, wow, okay, that is one spot taken, two spots to go, there's no doubt each singer standing here
01:12:58has what it takes, but what matters most right now, is what the judges think, Marsha, who else have the
01:13:06judges decided to sing again in next week's top 12?
01:13:12Okay, so, at the risk of sounding repetitive, y'all, please know that your performances are on another level, you've
01:13:23done the best you can, because that's what we've been asking of you, every time we see you, we ask
01:13:28you to be better than you thought you could ever be, and that's why you're here tonight, but please know
01:13:33that you've done the best that you can, okay?
01:13:36And it's a crazy industry that you've chosen to be in, continue to continue, and continue, if this is what
01:13:44you say you really want to do, don't listen to us, you do what you want to do.
01:13:49So, the person that we've chosen tonight, is a person that just brought the most incredible energy into this room,
01:14:01and that's what it's about, it's about your energy, and it's about taking us on a ride,
01:14:06And the one person that walked on the stage tonight, and did just that, is the one and only, our
01:14:17boy, Johnny Jukebox.
01:14:22Yeah, Johnny Jukebox.
01:14:24Come on over!
01:14:29Yes!
01:14:31Oh, he's got it!
01:14:33It's paying off already!
01:14:37Listen to that crowd, John, you had the moves up there, you just kicked off the show tonight, how does
01:14:43it feel to be in the top 12?
01:14:44It's just, it's so crazy, I, I can't, I wasn't expecting even anything of flippin', um, I can't even think,
01:14:55this is just so crazy, I wasn't even expecting to get past auditions, um, so, this is just so, so,
01:15:01amazing.
01:15:02Let me guess, amazing!
01:15:03Yeah!
01:15:05I've got, ah, I'm so excited!
01:15:07Gather your words, John, congratulations, it's such a huge moment for you, you better start thinking of your song for
01:15:12next week, alright?
01:15:13Yeah.
01:15:14Get prepared, go down there, you're in the top 12!
01:15:19Amazing!
01:15:21Amazing!
01:15:23Alright, here we go, the final spot, now or never, this is it.
01:15:34They have given everything they have to this competition so far, but, was it enough for the judges?
01:15:44Amy, the verdict, please.
01:15:47Who is the last singer the judges are sending through to the top 12?
01:15:54Yes, well, this, I mean, it really is tough, and I hate this part of the show, because we're down
01:16:04to real talent, like, real, real talent, and we, we can't help but disappoint some people, but it's a competition,
