00:00:00The wait is over. Top 12 week has arrived.
00:00:05Australia, now it's your turn. You vote, you decide.
00:00:10This is...
00:00:11Australia!
00:00:28Hello, I'm Ricky Lee. And I'm Scott Tweedy and there is an epic live audience in the house tonight.
00:00:34Make some noise!
00:00:39Wow! Alright, this week the top 12 take to the stage with iconic songs from the movies as they compete
00:00:46for your votes.
00:00:48Brace yourself for blockbuster bangers and award-winning performances that you simply cannot miss.
00:00:54But before this movie starts, let's roll out the red carpet for your Australian Idol judges.
00:01:08Cole Sandelens!
00:01:11Marsha Hines!
00:01:13And Amy Shaw!
00:01:21Good evening, Scotty. Pretty in pink.
00:01:24Ricky Lee, here we go.
00:01:26You and me are pink tonight.
00:01:43Good evening, judges.
00:01:45Hi there.
00:01:46Good evening.
00:01:46Alright, so tonight you will see the first half of your top 12 perform for your votes.
00:01:52Tomorrow night the remaining six idols will take to the stage.
00:01:55Then, on Tuesday, we are live with our top 12 verdict show where one singer from each night will go
00:02:05home.
00:02:06Up until this point, our judges have had the difficult task of narrowing down thousands of singers.
00:02:12But that ends now.
00:02:15Starting this very moment, the power is in your hands as voting is officially open for tonight's idols.
00:02:22They are...
00:02:23Perth's soul man with the trademark beanie, Charlie.
00:02:26CHEERING
00:02:28Northern Rivers country singer, Lily Grace.
00:02:32CHEERING
00:02:32And Central Coast landscaper, Kalani.
00:02:37CHEERING
00:02:37And the barber from Ballarat, Harry.
00:02:42CHEERING
00:02:44Adelaide mum and teacher, Samella.
00:02:48CHEERING
00:02:49And forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta.
00:02:54CHEERING
00:02:56Now remember, you are in the director's seat and will decide which of our singers make it to the top
00:03:0310.
00:03:04To vote, simply text the name of your favourite idol to the number on the screen,
00:03:09thanks to the all-new Jaku, J5, Eevee powering electric idol performances.
00:03:15You can vote up to 10 times per number or use them all on one idol
00:03:19or you can share the votes around, it is up to you.
00:03:22But voting closes tomorrow at 7pm Eastern Daylight Savings Time.
00:03:26Now, don't forget, after tonight's performances, the judges will save just one singer from the public vote,
00:03:34putting them straight through to the top 10.
00:03:37They are facing an enormous decision because this year's talent is truly next level.
00:03:44Amy, voting is officially open, can you believe it?
00:03:48In a cast of unforgettable talent, what can our idols do to stand out as main characters tonight?
00:03:54Well, I think they need to feel like the main character.
00:03:57I mean, they've already made it to the top 12, which is incredible, and what a night to do it.
00:04:02They've got the sets, the band, they look amazing, so they've just got to feel like the main character, I
00:04:07think.
00:04:07Yeah, 100%. And Marsha, we're expecting big movie anthems tonight.
00:04:13Will you expect our idols to match the original? You want them to make it their own?
00:04:17Well, I think they can't match it, but they can take it to another level.
00:04:21And you know, like we're saying in the very beginning, we have travelled the whole country to look for singers
00:04:27like this.
00:04:28It is now up to Australia to vote.
00:04:32So you see somebody you dig, you make sure you vote for them, because if you don't, they can vote
00:04:38it out.
00:04:40Sure words never spoken, Marsha.
00:04:42I know it's true.
00:04:42Now, Kyle, are you prepared for cinematic moments and maybe even a few plot twists?
00:04:49I love a plot twist.
00:04:50I know you do.
00:04:51You two wearing pink and purple has given me bad flashbacks.
00:04:56I spent an hour and a half with my Auntie Jill, she was at Garden City RSL with her friends,
00:05:03talking about the contestants and no one knows who's going to win,
00:05:07and normally by now we've got an idea if we like one or two, it went on and on.
00:05:11And those women, big fans of all of you guys, good luck tonight.
00:05:14Anyone can still win this right at the beginning, so best of luck everyone.
00:05:19Alright.
00:05:20Yes.
00:05:21100%.
00:05:22Well on that note, it's lights, camera, action for our first singer of the night.
00:05:28I felt a bit Formula One there, I got a bit excited.
00:05:30He's the beanie wearing soul man who's loving life in the top 12 fast lane.
00:05:35From Perth in Western Australia, this is Charlie.
00:05:47Movie week.
00:05:48Let's go.
00:05:49Life is so different here in the top 12.
00:05:52It's like I should start identifying as a movie star.
00:05:55It is fast paced, doing things all the time.
00:05:58We're doing photo shoots, rehearsals, makeup, wardrobe, hair for the other contestants.
00:06:04It's so different to life back in Perth.
00:06:06Hello.
00:06:07Hey Charlie.
00:06:09Top 12, welcome.
00:06:10Yeah.
00:06:11Yeah.
00:06:13Let's talk about it.
00:06:14Let's talk about it.
00:06:14You got through, but now it's Australia voting.
00:06:18Crazy.
00:06:18So the pressure's on.
00:06:19Oh, oh yeah.
00:06:20Big time.
00:06:21You can feel like that pressure just creeping in man.
00:06:24Things, things are getting real.
00:06:25So it's movie week.
00:06:27What song you sing?
00:06:28My Girl by The Temptations.
00:06:30Bit of, bit of size check?
00:06:31Oh yeah.
00:06:32For sure, for sure.
00:06:33I won't, I won't match, I won't match you on that.
00:06:36Can't wait to hear it.
00:06:37Let's do it.
00:06:38Cool.
00:06:39I think the movie to me is remembered for the expression of young love and how beautiful
00:06:45that can be.
00:06:46I've got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:06:53I'm singing the song from my partner Georgie, you know she brings sunshine on my cloudy
00:06:59days.
00:07:00I'm hoping this can really make her smile.
00:07:03My Girl.
00:07:08There's that key change happening just after here.
00:07:11Yeah, the key change.
00:07:11Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:12Felt a bit like you were unsure of yourself.
00:07:14Yeah, a little, we're trying to work out the notes so you have to kind of really be on
00:07:19point.
00:07:19Singers tend to just like scoop and let me find it out.
00:07:23But we want like clear steps.
00:07:26It's a big worry to have something like a key change in your performance that you have
00:07:31to nail, especially in front of the nation.
00:07:35There's no room for slip ups, no room for mistakes.
00:07:38If I only land the key changes, it could really fall flat on its face.
00:07:43And that means I could go home.
00:07:51I got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:08:00When it's cold outside, I got the month of May.
00:08:08Yeah, come on.
00:08:10Hey.
00:08:10I guess you say what can make me feel this way.
00:08:20It's my girl.
00:08:21My girl.
00:08:22My girl.
00:08:23My girl.
00:08:23I'm talking about my high girl.
00:08:27My girl.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:29Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:08:33I got so much, honey.
00:08:36Even the bees and the bees.
00:08:41Oh.
00:08:42I got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
00:08:48Oh, yeah.
00:08:49It's for me.
00:08:50Yeah.
00:08:52I guess you say what can make me feel this way.
00:09:00It's my girl, my girl
00:09:04I'm talking about my girl, my girl
00:09:08Hey!
00:09:10My girl, yeah
00:09:11I got sunshine on a cloudy day
00:09:16With my girl
00:09:17I even got the month of May
00:09:21I'm talking about my girl
00:09:24Talking about my girl
00:09:27Only my girl can make me feel this way
00:09:33This way
00:09:37My girl
00:09:38I'm talking about my girl
00:10:05Oh, Charlie, what a great song for you
00:10:07It's a great song, classic, a classic
00:10:09A classic, I mean, I remember when that came out
00:10:11When I was a little girl and I was born in the month of May
00:10:14So it was just always something that was sung in our house
00:10:17It just took me back to great memories
00:10:18And your spin on that, wow
00:10:21Like, talk about main character energy oozing out of everywhere
00:10:26It was just so cool to watch
00:10:28Oh, thank you
00:10:29You just got such an authentic sound
00:10:31I love it
00:10:32Thank you very much
00:10:33Thank you so much
00:10:39Yo, Charlie, were you singing that for your girl?
00:10:41Yes, I was
00:10:42I felt that
00:10:43That was really lovely
00:10:44You know, you sing and you sing
00:10:46And then you plot as you go
00:10:48But I'm always very interested to hear how you end a song
00:10:53And that was really cool
00:10:54Well done, Charlie
00:10:55Oh, thank you so much
00:10:56Thank you so much
00:11:00Yeah, Charlie
00:11:01Everyone looks forward to seeing you
00:11:03Because you make it so effortless
00:11:05And it feels like you've been doing this your entire life
00:11:08You make every song that everyone knows
00:11:10They can sing along to it
00:11:11But you give it your own Charlie spin
00:11:13It seems to work every single time
00:11:16Don't change
00:11:16Well, thank you, Carl
00:11:17Thank you so much, mate

00:11:29What a classic
00:11:30You killed it
00:11:32How was that for you?
00:11:33It was incredible
00:11:34You know, incredible to dedicate this to my partner
00:11:36Who's watching at home
00:11:37And it just means so much, you know
00:11:39You can tell
00:11:39You can tell that every time you sing
00:11:41You sing with your whole heart

00:12:08Your get-ready-with-me situation is fantastic
00:12:13Beaniegate, the dancing
00:12:14So funny
00:12:15If you haven't followed our idols on social media
00:12:18You have to do it
00:12:18Go check them out
00:12:19Alright, Australia

00:12:25Do what the man says
00:12:26Text Charlie to 0457 500 700 right now
00:12:33Make some noise for Charlie
00:12:34Thank you very much, thank you
00:12:39Okay, what a way to kick off movie week
00:12:42And it's time to cue the next scene
00:12:44She has chosen a song from the iconic movie
00:12:47The Devil Wears Prada
00:12:48From the Northern Rivers of New South Wales
00:12:51It's our country gal, Lily Grace
00:13:00The top 12 is great
00:13:01We're here, I made it
00:13:02I can't
00:13:03I mean, I can't believe it
00:13:04Because I'm here
00:13:04But I also can't believe it
00:13:08I'm just a small-town girl
00:13:10And being in the big city
00:13:11Is a huge change for me
00:13:13It's really exciting
00:13:15Because a career in music
00:13:16Is what I've always wanted
00:13:17So being here
00:13:19And being in the top 12
00:13:20Is like a dream come true
00:13:22It is movie week
00:13:24And I'm singing Suddenly I See
00:13:26By Katie Tunstall
00:13:27From Devil Wears Prada
00:13:28She's a Grammy-nominated singer
00:13:30And like me
00:13:31She comes from a small town
00:13:32And I've actually been lucky enough
00:13:35To organise a little Zoom chat
00:13:37With Katie herself
00:13:39Hello
00:13:39How are you?
00:13:40Hi, Grace

00:13:49I know that you come from a little town as well
00:13:51And so do I
00:13:52I mean, I'm a long way from home
00:13:54I'm like a 10-hour drive from home
00:13:55And I feel like
00:13:56I'm so glad that I have this song
00:13:58You know, because
00:13:58The way that I've somewhat connected with it
00:14:01Is sometimes you do have to make sacrifices
00:14:04To be
00:14:05Yeah
00:14:05You know, like to chase your dreams
00:14:07And I feel like this song kind of
00:14:08Also saying, you know
00:14:09This is what I have to do
00:14:10And this is what I want to do
00:14:11You're in a moment that could
00:14:13Change the course of your future
00:14:15But what I will definitely give you some advice about
00:14:17It's always really good
00:14:19To find someone in the crowd
00:14:21Who's having a really good time
00:14:23And actually properly look at them
00:14:25If you really have a minute
00:14:28With one person who's looking at you
00:14:31You have a real human moment
00:14:33Yeah, I love that

00:36:29And you paid them some attention?
00:36:31For sure, yeah, that's right
00:36:32I mean, I would have stayed there myself
00:36:34You know, I mean, you did a great job, Harry
00:36:36And it's really just loosen up, man
00:36:38You know, like it's rock and roll
00:36:40It's not kind and sweet
00:36:43It's good and nasty
00:36:45For sure
00:36:46Okay, well
00:36:46Yes, because you know it is
00:36:49But well done, Harry
00:36:50Thank you, Marsha
00:36:50You're welcome
00:36:55Ah, Paige
00:36:57That was
00:36:58I
00:36:59So I was nervous
00:37:00Because, you know, you're like
00:37:01I was watching the little package put together
00:37:04And you're like feeling it
00:37:05And I was like, oh, please
00:37:06Like it's just
00:37:07It's such a fine line
00:37:08With like, you know, rock and roll
00:37:10And then cringe
00:37:11And that was the coolest you have looked
00:37:14You looked so relaxed
00:37:16You didn't
00:37:17It didn't look forced
00:37:18You just looked like you were really sinking into it
00:37:22Did it feel like that?
00:37:23Yeah, for sure
00:37:24I felt way more relaxed
00:37:25Yeah, like I know you're still like hitting marks and stuff
00:37:28But you were kind of cruising around
00:37:29You didn't go too over the top
00:37:31You know, I actually thought you were really having a good time up there
00:37:34I was
00:37:34I had a really good time watching you
00:37:36Well done
00:37:36Thanks so much, Harry
00:37:37Cheers
00:37:43She had a really good time watching you
00:37:46That's really what an artist wants to hear
00:37:48They want
00:37:49That's amazing
00:37:49Because to be really successful in this business
00:37:52You either want to be that person on stage
00:37:55Or you want to have sex with that person on stage
00:37:59That's really what being an artist is
00:38:01You think it's about singing and writing
00:38:03No one gives a shit about that
00:38:05Right?
00:38:06You did everything we told you to do from last week
00:38:09Yes
00:38:09You looked like you were having a way better time
00:38:11I still think you could have a better time
00:38:13Without hitting the cringe mark
00:38:15Because we don't want cringe and roll
00:38:17Sure
00:38:17That sounds like something you do with a fire drill
00:38:19We're not interested
00:38:20But you're good
00:38:21You look good
00:38:22The songs are great
00:38:23You're singing in your pocket
00:38:25You're doing everything you're supposed to be doing
00:38:26But it's tough
00:38:27These are the weeks you want to stay in
00:38:29You don't want to be eliminated
00:38:30But very well done, man
00:38:32Nice work
00:38:32Thanks so much, Kyle
00:38:33Cheers
00:38:36Harry, that was rock and roll
00:38:38Thanks
00:38:38You had the whole crowd on their feet
00:38:40That was amazing
00:38:41How was it for you?
00:38:42It felt really good
00:38:43Yeah, I had a much better time, I think, this week
00:38:45Just being able to kind of relax and ease into it a little bit more
00:38:47Yeah
00:38:48A long way to go, obviously
00:38:49No, you looked really comfortable up here
00:38:51Now, Harry, you are a barber back home
00:38:53And your parents are manning the barber's chairs
00:38:56While you're here at Idle
00:38:58Is it true that they're busier than ever
00:39:00With people wanting a haircut?
00:39:03It is, it's very true
00:39:04I think the phone's ringing off the hook looking for me
00:39:06I've had a few people that are sad that I'm here
00:39:09Instead of back home cutting hair
00:39:11Does his parents even cut hair?
00:39:13They do
00:39:15They're just having a go
00:39:17Just keeping it alive
00:39:18They're not very good haircuts while I'm away
00:39:20But they're fine
00:39:21I just can't stop thinking about the haircut I gave to my husband during COVID
00:39:25Whoa
00:39:26It was the worst thing anyone's ever seen
00:39:28In Australia
00:39:29To keep Harry's rock star dream alive
00:39:33You have to vote
00:39:35Text Harry to the number on the screen right now

00:40:57But now she's a busy mum and a schoolteacher
00:41:00And just weeks ago she was in a classroom full of students
00:41:03And now she's in the top 12
00:41:05Tonight she's singing a song from a Disney film that once cleaned up at the Oscars
00:41:10This is Samela
00:41:19Hey Samela, how are you going?
00:41:21Good, how are you?
00:41:22I'm great
00:41:22So lovely
00:41:25Welcome to the top 12, you did it
00:41:27How are you feeling?
00:41:28I can't believe it, yeah I'm feeling so happy
00:41:29My transformation for Transformation Week
00:41:32Made me feel a million dollars
00:41:34Like I felt beautiful
00:41:35And it was a really good feeling to be up there
00:41:38Standing with confidence
00:41:39And ready to take on the world
00:41:42It's movie week
00:41:44It's movie week
00:41:44Top 12, what song are you singing?
00:41:46I'm singing Circle of Life from The Lion King
00:41:48Circle of Life
00:41:50Oh my gosh
00:41:51It's the most powerful song ever
00:41:53My connection to the Circle of Life is thinking about the generations of wonderful women in my family
00:42:00I'm so grateful to have been raised by strong, powerful women
00:42:04Lionesses and women that are fearless
00:42:06And I can't wait to raise a powerful, fearless woman
00:42:11Like that's what the world needs
00:42:13Circle of Life
00:42:15Through the sapphire skies
00:42:18This song is really emotive
00:42:20It's a powerful song
00:42:22In the circle of life
00:42:24So I need to make sure that I'm putting the emotion behind the performance
00:42:29Just in this section, like I feel like you're really thinking about your phrasing
00:42:33You just need to relax into it
00:42:34Yeah, totally
00:42:35It almost feels robotic
00:42:36Too tight
00:42:37Too tight, yeah
00:42:38Yeah
00:42:38This song does not allow for robotics
00:42:41It needs to be emotive
00:42:42And it needs to flow melodically
00:42:44We'll sing it one more time
00:42:45And just thinking about the generations
00:42:47The women, powerful women
00:42:48Exactly
00:42:49And just really channeling that
00:42:50It's incredibly important to forget about the technical side of the sing
00:42:55And remember who I'm singing this for
00:42:57I'm thinking about my yaya, my grandma
00:43:00I'm thinking about my mum
00:43:01I'm thinking about my daughter
00:43:04It is so important that I completely blow this performance out of the water
00:43:08To ensure that I have a spot in the top ten
00:43:13The day we arrived on the planet
00:43:19And Lincoln stepped into the sun
00:43:25There's so much to be seen
00:43:26There's a more to be seen
00:43:28That could ever be seen
00:43:30More to do
00:43:32They could ever be done
00:43:36There's far too much to take in here
00:43:41What a fight they can ever be found
00:43:47But the sun rolling high
00:43:51Through the sapphire sky
00:43:53Meets great in the small and less round
00:43:58And the sun for the light
00:44:03Is the will of fortune
00:44:09Is the leap of faith
00:44:14Is the path of hope
00:44:20To me find a place
00:44:26On the path unwinding
00:44:33In the circle
00:44:38Circle of light
00:44:45Oh yeah
00:44:50In the circle
00:44:55Circle of light
00:45:01Circle of light
00:45:06Circle of light
00:45:29At the beginning
00:45:30The video at the back
00:45:31I thought I was looking at my colonoscopy report
00:45:35Shivers
00:45:36Wow
00:45:37That was fantastic
00:45:39Now I'm not a Lion King fan
00:45:40I didn't even see it when I was a kid
00:45:43But my kid loves it
00:45:45And that was just done beautifully
00:45:47Thank you
00:45:47Very very proud of you
00:45:49Thank you so much
00:45:50Big boys
00:45:50Fabulous work
00:45:51Excellent
00:45:52Thank you
00:45:55Have you heard the colonoscopy done Marsha?
00:45:58At a certain age we've all got to get the camera
00:46:00You've got a couple of decades to go
00:46:02Thank you
00:46:03Yes she has
00:46:03So you know look
00:46:05I want to say Samila
00:46:06You just sang a song from one of the most populous shows in the world
00:46:10That's just about to be played in Sydney

00:46:14The musical
00:46:14Yes
00:46:15And it's one of
00:46:17Actually the first time I saw that stage show
00:46:20I burst into tears
00:46:21It was so moving
00:46:22And you'll perform
00:46:23Oh God you're one of them
00:46:24Oh I know I'm that person
00:46:25Yes I am that person
00:46:27So emotional
00:46:28And I'm so happy to be
00:46:29But that was so beautiful

00:46:39I agree
00:46:42You're like a
00:46:44You're a teleporter
00:46:45Like you've got this nostalgic
00:46:47You've got this way of just
00:46:49I mean you did it
00:46:50With Dawson's Creek
00:46:51With me
00:46:52And then you did it
00:46:53Then
00:46:53I mean I had a Lion King duvet
00:46:55You what?
00:46:57Bring it back
00:46:57Yeah honestly
00:46:58A Lion King like
00:46:59Like doing a cover
00:47:00Like a
00:47:01Oh my God
00:47:02I think I had Lion King curtains
00:47:04I was obsessed with that movie
00:47:06And you just had this way of
00:47:08Always taking me back
00:47:09To these beautiful moments
00:47:10And you have no bells and whistles up there
00:47:13It's just you
00:47:14And you are so real
00:47:16She had to be calling
00:47:17What else could you get

00:47:26Okay
00:47:27Thank you
00:47:27Thank you
00:47:29Finally
00:47:32Hi Ricky
00:47:34Samella
00:47:34Just
00:47:35Wow
00:47:36Absolute class act
00:47:38The tears in my eyeballs
00:47:40Yeah
00:47:41That is such a huge sing
00:47:43But you just made it
00:47:45As you do with everything
00:47:46Look absolutely effortless
00:47:48Thank you Ricky
00:47:48It was such a big song to sing
00:47:51And it's such an iconic song
00:47:53So I felt the pressure
00:47:55But I felt really privileged
00:47:56To be given that song
00:47:57And to have sung that song
00:47:59So yeah
00:47:59Oh it was such
00:48:02A beautiful performance
00:48:04Samella
00:48:05I'm with
00:48:05I'm with Amy
00:48:06I am such a huge fan
00:48:08Of the OG
00:48:09Lion King movie
00:48:10I was obsessed
00:48:11I used to like
00:48:12Put shows on in my lounge room
00:48:14For my parents
00:48:14And my grandparents
00:48:15And all my little cousins
00:48:16And I played all the characters
00:48:17They weren't allowed to do anything
00:48:19And I'm sure we all did that
00:48:20I don't sound like you at all Ricky
00:48:23But Circle of Life
00:48:25Is my absolute favourite
00:48:26And I cry every time I hear it
00:48:27And I had all the emotions just then
00:48:30I was really upset
00:48:31That no one would
00:48:31Put a baby up in the air
00:48:33Oh yeah
00:48:33Where's the babies
00:48:34Where's the baby
00:48:35Oh let go

00:50:20In the past
00:50:20Everyone's giving so much support
00:50:22And it's truly a blessing
00:50:23To be honest
00:50:24How good is that
00:50:25The whole town
00:50:26Yeah
00:50:26Alright well for movie week
00:50:27Jacinta chose a song
00:50:28From the 90s romcom
00:50:30You've Got Mail
00:50:31And boy
00:50:31She's been getting some mail
00:50:33Lots and lots of notes
00:50:35Emails
00:50:35Beautiful messages
00:50:36And support backing her
00:50:38All the way
00:50:46This is Jacinta
00:50:50What a transformation
00:50:51You're unstoppable now babe
00:50:53Let's go
00:50:54Being in the top 12
00:50:55Is surreal
00:50:56I am starting to feel like
00:50:58My day to day life
00:51:00Is somewhat
00:51:01Of a famous person
00:51:02But I just feel like
00:51:04Regular Jacinta
00:51:05You know
00:51:06I've had a lot of
00:51:07People reach out to me
00:51:09A lot of really lovely comments
00:51:11Go Jacinta
00:51:12Do it for the for the
00:51:13For the for the girlies
00:51:16Seeing you own who you are
00:51:18Makes me feel confident
00:51:19And makes me want to be myself
00:51:21Even when it's scary
00:51:22I spent a lot of my life alone
00:51:25And not really having anyone
00:51:27Understand me
00:51:28That's really special
00:51:29So if I can inspire
00:51:31And encourage others
00:51:32To know that they have a place
00:51:34Then I think that's probably
00:51:37The most special thing
00:51:37It's movie week
00:51:39Yeah
00:51:39What are you singing this week?
00:51:41So I'm singing dreams
00:51:43By the cranberries
00:51:44From the film
00:51:45You've got mail
00:51:45Amazing
00:51:46I love this song
00:51:47Right now I am living my dreams
00:51:49And this song is a celebration of that
00:51:52All my life
00:51:56This song starts really soft
00:51:58Which is what people are used to hearing from me
00:52:00In every possible way
00:52:05And then it hits that build
00:52:07And that intensity
00:52:08And it requires me to really vocally bring it
00:52:14That's probably not your strongest
00:52:17I felt your voice just get a bit nervous
00:52:20I know it's a scary thing
00:52:22Because you're so used to singing in a certain place
00:52:25But in this moment
00:52:27That's when the band are lifting
00:52:28We need you to not disappear into the band either
00:52:31My biggest concern is not fully opening up vocally
00:52:36If I get lost and swallowed up by the band
00:52:39The performance will fall flat
00:52:40Got to keep the intensity of that
00:52:42Because you got there
00:52:43And then you went
00:52:43Yeah
00:52:44I want to do it for the people
00:52:46I'm inspiring
00:52:46I can't let these people down
00:52:48They will be at the forefront
00:52:50When I perform
00:52:56All my life
00:53:00It's changing every day
00:53:04In every possible way
00:53:13And all my dreams
00:53:16It's never quite as it seems
00:53:21Never quite as it seems
00:53:26I know I felt like this before
00:53:31But now I'm feeling it even more
00:53:35Because it came from you
00:53:59I know I felt like this before
00:54:05But now I'm feeling it even more
00:54:09Because it came from you
00:54:13Because it came from you
00:54:18And all my life
00:54:22It's changing every day
00:54:26In every possible way
00:54:35And all my dreams
00:54:39And all my dreams
00:54:39It's never quite as it seems
00:54:43Because you're a dream to me
00:54:47Dream to me
00:54:52That perhaps you're a dream
00:55:04Самza
00:55:06That's one of my favorite songs
00:55:09I was lucky enough to see
00:55:10The Cranberries play like one of the last times
00:55:12they played in this country and it was funny because obviously Dolores' voice is so different
00:55:19and iconic and it really made sense for you to do something like that.
00:55:25I was worried, it's just such a big song to tackle, I was worried in the big, big notes,
00:55:30but you really are such an individual and you've just got this voice that I want it
00:55:37to stay, I could just listen to you in that register, that sort of lower register all day.
00:55:42I was worried about when you took on the high notes there, but I just love what you're about
00:55:47and I think Australia loves what you're about.
00:55:50So keep going, keep challenging yourself, you should be proud.
00:55:59I'll just say this, I met Dolores way back in the day with she and her husband, a very unusual
00:56:04human being, that's why she sang that way, you know, I think she lived an incredibly
00:56:09tortured life.
00:56:11I think you chose well with the song, I think the big notes really kind of tripped you up
00:56:18a bit, you know.
00:56:19Tell me, talk to me, how did you feel about the big notes?
00:56:25Yeah, I mean, doing the big notes I think was not only me stepping out vocally but like physically
00:56:32and mentally and it's so hard to like, sorry, it's so hard to break from those walls.
00:56:45It's like I'm fighting myself.
00:56:48But Jacinta, you know, it's kind of like, you know, you go hard or you go home, okay?
00:56:52So like if you're going to sing a song like that and you want to sing a song like that,
00:56:56I have no problem with it.
00:56:57But you find your own interpretation with the instructions that Carmen gives you, you know.
00:57:04And so when a note doesn't feel right in you, guess what?
00:57:08It's not right.
00:57:10Okay?
00:57:10So I think you did a very good job.
00:57:13Don't cry, honey.
00:57:14Sorry.
00:57:15No, don't be sorry.
00:57:16But I'm not here to tear you down either.
00:57:18I'm here to encourage you, okay?
00:57:20Of course.
00:57:20So when you sing, you sing for yourself and sing to the best of your ability.
00:57:25You know, you're worried about the band drawing you out.
00:57:27You don't let no band drawing you out, honey.
00:57:30Yes.
00:57:30You sing on top of the band and you sing through the band if you're able, okay?
00:57:34Yes.
00:57:34But I think you did a good job but don't cry, no need.
00:57:37Thank you, Martha.
00:57:37You're welcome.
00:57:46Okay, real talk.
00:57:47What's going on?
00:57:48Yeah.
00:57:48Are you all right?
00:57:49Yeah, I'm good.
00:57:50What's going on?
00:57:51Sorry, guys.
00:57:52Just hit me with the headline.
00:57:54What's going on?
00:57:56Anxiety.
00:57:57A lot of anxiety.
00:57:58Yeah.
00:57:58I understand.
00:57:59Yeah.
00:57:59You know what?
00:58:00This business, nearly every person you'll see on TV or on stage or in films, nearly everyone
00:58:07has got anxiety.
00:58:08Yeah.
00:58:09This will shock you.
00:58:10Welcome to the anxiety-ridden business.
00:58:13We're all riddled with it.
00:58:14Where every bastard's got the anxiety, except for me.
00:58:19And you'd think, after this week, why hasn't he got anxiety?
00:58:24I just don't have it.
00:58:25I'm lucky.
00:58:26But I know about it.
00:58:27I've dealt with artists before.
00:58:29I've dealt with partners before that have had anxiety.
00:58:32You nailed it.
00:58:33When you're up there, you don't see it.
00:58:35You cloaked it.
00:58:37I think we've seen you perform better, but I love your voice.
00:58:41I do think that's a great song.
00:58:44That anxiety, we can't see it.
00:58:46Until you cried, I didn't even know.
00:58:48So, whatever little shower curtain you've got hanging up from the roof there, that was
00:58:53enough to mask it.
00:58:54So, you're killing it.
00:58:55Don't let anxiety swallow you up.
00:58:57Don't let it.
00:58:58Don't let it win.
00:59:23Yeah.
00:59:27You are our fabulous forklift driver.
00:59:31How was that performance for you?
00:59:32I know the judges had a lot to say.
00:59:34You guys had a little chat, but how did it feel, that performance for you?
00:59:38It felt, parts of it felt good, and then parts of that felt like I was a bit trapped.
00:59:43I was scared to take that step, because for me, I feel like taking that step is now like,
00:59:48like this is it.
00:59:50Like, you can't go back into that box.
00:59:51Like, so, I think it was just a bit overwhelming taking that step.
00:59:55Yeah.
00:59:56Well, you did it.
00:59:56And that's what this show is all about.
01:00:04Now, Jacinta, we saw in your video package all those letters coming in, Kyles, doing the
01:00:10forklift driving.
01:00:11All the forklift drivers from around the country are really getting behind you.
01:00:15How does it make you feel when you see that support?
01:00:19That's going to make you feel something inside.
01:00:21Yeah, it makes me feel, it makes me feel really whole and really blessed and really grateful
01:00:26that people are backing me in that way.
01:00:29Like, you can't, you can't put a price on that.
01:00:31You focus on that, and that's the good in what this business is.
01:00:34You find your people and your supporters and the people that love you, and you listen to them.
01:00:39And if you want to make sure Jacinta stays in the competition, you have to vote for her, okay?
01:00:44Vote, vote, vote.
01:00:46Simply text Jacinta to 0457 500 700.
01:00:51Give it up for Jacinta!
01:00:54Thanks, guys.
01:00:59All right.
01:01:00Well, we have come to the end of the performances for tonight.
01:01:04That means it's time for our judges to deliberate on who they'll save from the public vote and
01:01:09send directly into the top ten.
01:01:11That, Mission Impossible, is coming up.
01:01:14Don't go anywhere.
01:01:24Welcome back.
01:01:25All tonight's idols have performed and surely the judges must make the tough decision on who
01:01:31they will save from the viewer vote and send directly into the top ten.
01:01:36Kyle, you guys are finding it really tough tonight, aren't you?
01:01:39Because everyone has stepped up.
01:01:41Well, nearly everyone has stepped up tonight, I think.
01:01:44It's obvious who hasn't, but it's still anyone's game.
01:01:47It's anyone's contest.
01:01:49This is the hardest part.
01:01:50And a lot of people's favourites.
01:01:52Every week someone goes home, unfortunately.
01:01:54Yeah, it is the hard part.
01:01:56Now, while they hash it out, let's check in on what your top twelve have been up to this
01:02:01week.
01:02:02It hasn't just been rehearsals.
01:02:03Far from it.
01:02:04They've been living the full idol experience.
01:02:08Flashing cameras, luxury rides, recording studios and VIP events.
01:02:12They have stepped into the spotlight and totally owned it.
01:02:19Top twelve is insane.
01:02:21I feel like there's just always something that's going on.
01:02:24Today, we are getting the best opportunities like workshops with Sony, workshops with The
01:02:30Annex, recording studio with The Hive.
01:02:33It is just like creme de la creme.
01:02:36Top twelve, everyone.
01:02:37Yeah, I mean, the fact we're travelling and riding in a limo.
01:02:41I feel luxurious.
01:02:44Has anyone never been in a limo before?
01:02:45Not me.
01:02:49We've all been travelling around by limo, which has been crazy.
01:02:52And now we're at Sony Music Publishing and we're doing the songwriting course.
01:02:56Love the orange.
01:02:57Sony is really, really proud to be looking after people like Sia, Five Seconds of Summer,
01:03:03ACDC.
01:03:04I'm feeling so, so damn lucky to be here for this private songwriting workshop.
01:03:09Such a blessing.
01:03:09I think just write what you want to write and say what you want to say.
01:03:12That's always the ultimate goal when it comes to writing a song, is how can we make your
01:03:17experience come alive.
01:03:19I never had this kind of expertise or this kind of like knowledge about the industry so
01:03:23much before Idol.
01:03:25We're heading to the annex to the social media workshop.
01:03:29Social media is still new to me because I only recently just got a phone.
01:03:32So your phone is a direct connection to growing your audience so that when people land they
01:03:37immediately can get an understanding of who you are.
01:03:39There is a lot to learn.
01:03:41Got to keep up with these Gen Z's.
01:03:43Working on the gram.
01:03:45Working on the ticky tock.
01:03:47We're on the way to the studio.
01:03:51We are at the Hive Studios.
01:03:53Now we're going to record the top 12 single.
01:03:57Who's excited?
01:04:01I've definitely got a taste of what being a recording artist could be and I will do whatever
01:04:05it takes for this to be my life.
01:04:09This is such a good look into the music industry.
01:04:12Seeing how it all works has really made me want this even more.
01:04:16Well done guys, I think we've got it.
01:04:22How cool is all of that?
01:04:24You don't come on Idol just to sing.
01:04:27You're getting real world experience working with industry professionals.
01:04:31It's such a great way to boost your career no matter where you place in the competition.
01:04:36Amy and Marsha, it's true though right?
01:04:38An artist has to work so hard on their craft to make it in this business.
01:04:43It's not easy but it's worth it because you're creating your brand.
01:04:47You have to work hard.
01:04:49I mean I always say this is a great, great platform for people who want to be in the industry.
01:04:53But once you're here, people know you so you've got to bang on doors.
01:04:57A lot of like discipline and sacrifices and anything to sort of make the dream come alive.
01:05:04Absolutely.
01:05:05I mean you two are the perfect example of that still.
01:05:07Like still banging down doors, still killing it, still doing your thing.
01:05:10It never ends.
01:05:11You've got to gig.
01:05:12Hey and you can be here one minute and go on the next they say.
01:05:16Just like that.
01:05:17You're there and then you're gone.
01:05:18Thanks for the reminder Kyle.
01:05:20That's what they say.
01:05:21That's what they say.
01:05:21Well everyone as you saw in the video, the Top 12 were recording their debut single all night long.
01:05:28You can download that right now on iTunes and get it pumping.
01:05:32The Top 12 will perform that live for the very first time on Tuesday's live results show.
01:05:39Oh yeah.
01:05:40I can see the judges have come to a decision.
01:05:43So up next they will announce who they'll save from this week's public vote.
01:05:49The decision you've been waiting for right after this.
01:06:00You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026.
01:06:05They'll win a life changing $100,000.
01:06:10Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards and the TV Week Logie Awards.
01:06:16Boost their brand with the annex, the experts in marketing and social media.
01:06:22Attend a songwriting camp with Sony Music Publishing and score an exclusive package to record new music at Sydney's Hive
01:06:31Sound Studios.
01:06:36Yeah that is all waiting for the winner.
01:06:38Art Studio Time Songwriting Camps.
01:06:40Tickets to the 40th anniversary of the ARIA Awards.
01:06:43What an amazing prize.
01:06:44Oh yeah.
01:06:45And the first half of your Top 12 have performed and now it is over to the judges to decide
01:06:52which one lucky idol will be catapulted into the Top 10 giving them immunity from the nationwide vote.
01:07:01It could be the idol they believe was the best on the night or someone they think deserves a second
01:07:05chance.
01:07:06So Amy and Marsha, six incredible singers but only one judge saved to use such a difficult decision.
01:07:13Yeah this is when it gets really real.
01:07:15You know it's so real.
01:07:17Now like I keep saying we found you guys.
01:07:19Now Australia is going to decide who they believe should be their next Australian Idol or their Top 10.
01:07:25Yeah I think I mean I'm really proud of everyone that is here so yeah it's all up to Australia
01:07:32now.
01:07:33This is our last little bit that we can do right?
01:07:35That's it.
01:07:36And it was really really tough.
01:07:37Yeah.
01:07:37Alright well it is time to find out who the judges have selected to say from the public vote and
01:07:43send straight into the Top 10.
01:07:46Kyle who have you chosen tonight?
01:07:52They're all so good but we're only allowed to save one.
01:07:57And the person we're saving today is someone who made us feel an emotion when we watched them perform.
01:08:05Someone whose vocal soared.
01:08:09And we've got to give our save tonight to Smella.
01:08:17Thanks.
01:08:21Yes.
01:08:22Smella.
01:08:23Congratulations Smella.
01:08:25Thank you so much.
01:08:26How does it feel?
01:08:27You're in the Top 10.
01:08:28That's so cool.
01:08:30So cool.
01:08:30That is so cool.
01:08:32Are you relieved that you don't have to face the public vote?
01:08:35I'm so relieved.
01:08:36What a relief.
01:08:37Jeepers.
01:08:38I was really stressed there.
01:08:40I was really stressed.
01:08:41Give it up one more time for Smella.
01:08:43Thank you so much.
01:08:44Thank you guys.
01:08:45Go and celebrate in the lounge girlfriend.
01:08:47Congratulations.
01:08:49Well done Smella.
01:08:50But for the others.
01:08:52Charlie, Lily, Grace, Kalani, Harry and Jacinta.
01:08:55Your place in the idol competition is not guaranteed.
01:08:58And you could be going home unless Australia votes to keep you in the competition.
