00:00:01The 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 World!
00:00:28Hello, I'm Rikki Lee.
00:00:30And 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
00:00:47for 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.
00:01:08Carl Sandlerz!
00:01:11Marsha Hines!
00:01:13And Amy Shaw!
00:01:21Good evening, Scottie. Pretty in shape.
00:01:24Rikki Lee, here we go.
00:01:26You and me, thanks a lot.
00:01:42Wow!
00:01:43Good evening, judges!
00:01:45Hi there!
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.
00:01:56Then, 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.
00:02:21They are...
00:02:23Perth's soul man with the trademark beanie, Charlie.
00:02:28Northern Rivers country singer, Lily Grace.
00:02:33And Central Coast landscaper, Kalani.
00:02:39And the barber from Ballarat, Harry.
00:02:44Adelaide mom and teacher, Samella.
00:02:50And forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta.
00:02:57Now remember, you are in the director's seat and will decide which of our singers make it to the Top
00:03:0410.
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 ten times per number, or use them all on one idol, or you can share
00:03:20the votes around.
00:03:21It 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?
00:03:55Well, I think they need to feel like the main character.
00:03:58I 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.
00:04:08Yeah, 100%.
00:04:08And Marsha, we're expecting big movie anthems tonight.
00:04:13Will you expect our idols to match the original?
00:04:16You 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.
00:04:22And 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.
00:04:40True words never spoken, Marsha.
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.
00:04:52You two wearing pink and purple has given me bad flashbacks.
00:04:56I spent an hour and a half with my Auntie Jill.
00:04:59She was at Garden City RSL with her friends talking about the contestants and no one knows who's going to
00:05:06win.
00:05:07And normally by now, we've got an idea if we like one or two.
00:05:09It 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.
00:05:17So, 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, let'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.
00:06:07Hello.
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.
00:06:15You 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 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.
00:06:31Oh yeah.
00:06:32For sure, for sure.
00:06:33I won't match you on that.
00:06:36Can't wait to hear it.
00:06:38Let'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.
00:06:45I got sunshine on a cloudy day.
00:06:53I'm singing the song from my partner Georgie.
00:06:56You know, she brings sunshine on my cloudy days.
00:07:01I'm hoping this can really make her smile.
00:07:03My Girl.
00:07:06My Girl.
00:07:09There's that key change happening just after here.
00:07:11Yeah, the key change.
00:07:12Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:12Felt a bit like you were unsure of yourself.
00:07:14Yeah, a little.
00:07:15We're trying to work out the notes so you have to kind of really be on point.
00:07:19Singers tend to just like scoop and let me find it out.
00:07:23Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:07:24But 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 don't land the key change, 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, hey.
00:08:10I guess you'll say what can make me feel this way.
00:08:20It's my girl.
00:08:23I'm talking about my high girl.
00:08:28Yeah.
00:08:29Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh.
00:08:33I got so much, honey.
00:08:36Even the bees and the leaves.
00:08:41Oh, I got a sweeter song than the birds in the trees.
00:08:48Oh, yeah.
00:08:49It's for me.
00:08:50Yeah.
00:08:51I guess you'll say what can make me feel this way.
00:09:01It's my girl.
00:09:02My girl.
00:09:03My girl.
00:09:04I'm talking about my high girl.
00:09:08My girl.
00:09:09Hey.
00:09:10My girl.
00:09:11Yeah.
00:09:11My girl.
00:09:12I got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl.
00:09:19I even got the month of May.
00:09:22I'm talking about my girl.
00:09:25Talking about my girl.
00:09:27Only my girl.
00:09:29Only my girl can make me feel this way.
00:09:34This way.
00:09:37My girl.
00:09:39I'm talking about my girl.
00:09:44My girl.
00:10:04Oh, Charlie, what a great song for you.
00:10:08It's a great song.
00:10:08Classic.
00:10:09A classic.
00:10:09I mean, I remember when that came out when I was a little girl and I was born in the
00:10:13month 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.
00:10:19And your spin on that?
00:10:20Wow.
00:10:21Like, talk about main character energy oozing out of everywhere.
00:10:26It was just so cool to watch.
00:10:29Oh, thank you.
00:10:29You just got such an authentic sound.
00:10:31I love it.
00:10:33Thank you very much.
00:10:34Thank you so much.
00:10:39Yeah, Charlie, were you singing that for your girl?
00:10:41Yes, I was.
00:10:42I felt that.
00:10:43Yeah.
00:10:43That was really lovely.
00:10:44You know, you sing and you sing and then you plot as you go, but I'm always very interested
00:10:51to hear how you end a song.
00:10:53Mm.
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, everyone looks forward to seeing you because you make it so effortless
00:11:06and 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, but you give it your own Charlie spin.
00:11:14It seems to work every single time.
00:11:16Don't, don't change.
00:11:17Well, thank you, Carl.
00:11:18Thank you so much, mate.
00:11:20Oh.
00:11:22Oh, Charlie.
00:11:24Hi, Ricky.
00:11:24That was so cool.
00:11:26I love that song so much.
00:11:28I love that movie, My Girl.
00:11:29What a classic.
00:11:31You 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 who's watching at home and it just
00:11:38means so much, you know?
00:11:39You can tell.
00:11:40You can tell that every time you sing, you sing with your whole heart.
00:11:43Now, Charlie, we saw in your video that your life has totally changed being in the top
00:11:4812 photo shoots, interviews.
00:11:50Are you loving this new life?
00:11:53It's crazy, but incredible.
00:11:54Yeah.
00:11:54I'm so happy to be a part of it.
00:11:56We're, we're, we're so happy to have you.
00:11:58Now, Charlie, I have been loving, I feel like I'm your, like, number one fangirl on Instagram.
00:12:03What?
00:12:03I've been loving what you've been posting on socials.
00:12:05You really give, you know, a behind the scenes look at what happens here at Australian Idol.
00:12:09Your get ready with me situation is fantastic.
00:12:13Beanie Gate, the dancing, so funny.
00:12:15If you haven't followed our idols on social media, you have to do it.
00:12:19Go check them out.
00:12:19All right, Australia, if you want to see Charlie sing again, you have to vote.
00:12:25Do what the man says.
00:12:27Text Charlie to 0457 500 700 right now.
00:12:33Make some noise for Charlie.
00:12:35Thank you very much.
00:12:39Okay, what a way to kick off movie week and it's time to cue the next scene.
00:12:45She has chosen a song from the iconic movie The Devil Wears Prada.
00:12:49From the Northern Rivers of New South Wales, it's our country gal, Lily Grace.
00:13:00The top 12 is great. We're here. I made it. I can't, I mean, I can't believe it because I'm
00:13:04here, but I also can't believe it.
00:13:08I'm just a small town girl and being in the big city is a huge change for me.
00:13:13It's really exciting because a career in music is what I've always wanted.
00:13:18So being here and being in the top 12 is like a dream come true.
00:13:23It is movie week and I am singing Suddenly I See by Katie Tunstall from Devil Wears Prada.
00:13:29She's a Grammy nominated singer. And like me, she comes from a small town.
00:13:33And I've actually been lucky enough to organize a little zoom chat with Katie herself.
00:13:39Hello, how are you?
00:13:41Hi, Lily Grace.
00:13:42How are you?
00:13:44Oh my goodness. I'm so excited to talk to you.
00:13:47To me, I'm excited to talk to you.
00:13:49I know that you come from a little town as well and so do I.
00:13:53I mean, I'm a long way from home. I'm like a 10 hour drive from home.
00:13:55And I feel like I'm so glad that I have this song, you know, because the way that I have
00:14:00somewhat connected with it is sometimes you do have to make sacrifices to be, you know, like to chase your
00:14:07dreams.
00:14:07And I feel like this song kind of also saying, you know, this is what I have to do and
00:14:10this is what I want to do.
00:14:12You're in a moment that could change the course of your future.
00:14:15But what I will definitely give you some advice about, it's always really good to find someone in the crowd
00:14:21who's having a really good time and actually properly look at them.
00:14:25If you really have a minute with one person who's looking at you, you have a real human moment.
00:14:33Yeah, I love that. I definitely think that's something I have to work on a little bit.
00:14:37Thank you so much. Your advice is actually, it's, it's been amazing.
00:14:41We're gonna away!
00:14:43After speaking to Katie, I feel like it's just given me that little bit of edge.
00:14:47I want to keep going in this competition.
00:14:49I know what I want, I know what I want to do and I want to be in top ten.
00:14:53Cup 10's calling.
00:15:23That's what makes you fall.
00:15:25She holds you captivated in her palm
00:15:30Suddenly I see
00:15:32This is what I want to be
00:15:35Suddenly I see
00:15:38Why the hell it means so much to me
00:15:42This is what I want to be
00:15:44Suddenly I see
00:15:48Why the hell it means so much to me
00:15:54Well, I feel like walking the world, like walking the world
00:15:58And you can see she's a beautiful girl, she's a beautiful girl
00:16:04She goes on every corner like she's warm, like you are
00:16:08Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember what you heard
00:16:15She likes to leave you hanging on her word, come on
00:16:20Suddenly I see, this is what I want to be
00:16:25Suddenly I see, why the hell it means so much to me
00:16:34Suddenly I see, why the hell it means so much to me
00:16:43Suddenly I see, why the hell it means so much, why the hell it means so much to me
00:17:07Great song choice, darling
00:17:08Thank you
00:17:09You're welcome
00:17:10You know, I mean, you're so far away up on a podium like that
00:17:14But everything's settled
00:17:17When you walk down here and you saw the kids and the kids gave you that energy
00:17:22It's all about the energy and they did, you gave them the love, didn't you?
00:17:27Thanks, guys
00:17:28Yeah, hi
00:17:33That is so truly what it's all about, honey
00:17:36Your voice is fine, your guitar playing is fine
00:17:38You've got to try and find some confidence in the performance side of things, okay?
00:17:43I think you did a great job
00:17:44Thank you so much, Marcia
00:17:46You're welcome, you're welcome
00:17:49Um, I thought you did great too
00:17:51I mean, it was really good advice from KT
00:17:53Because it's that human element that's really hard to find when you're performing
00:17:59Especially when you're elevated
00:18:00As soon as I'm anywhere where there's steps involved
00:18:04It's like, it's in the back of your head, right?
00:18:07You're just like, oh my god, okay, the steps are coming up
00:18:09And it's really hard to like
00:18:10Girl, I thought I was going to fold it
00:18:12Oh, honey, we know, we know
00:18:14That's what I mean, you did so well
00:18:15Like, considering this is all new to you
00:18:18That was such a slick performance
00:18:19Um, yeah, great song
00:18:22You still brought it to life
00:18:23Glad the hat's back
00:18:25Um, yeah, you should be really proud of that
00:18:28Thank you so much, Amy
00:18:29I really appreciate that
00:18:36You're 18, so I'm pretty sure you can manage up and down the stairs fine
00:18:39My three and a half-year-old
00:18:40Have you seen those heels?
00:18:41He's up and down the stairs, pretty good
00:18:43By 18, you can pretty much
00:18:44I've seen chicks running down cobblestone roads in Europe
00:18:48That's because they're running from you
00:18:49No
00:18:52Now, Lily Grace
00:18:55Great song choice
00:18:56You didn't feel like you enjoyed it until about halfway through
00:18:59Am I sensing something there?
00:19:01Could you hear yourself well?
00:19:03You just didn't seem to be enjoying it
00:19:05Until you did step off the stage
00:19:07Yeah, no, I think I was just
00:19:09I mean, I was enjoying it
00:19:10I was, there's just a lot to think about
00:19:12You know, there's a lot going on
00:19:12That's like what I said
00:19:13Yeah, sing the song
00:19:14Steps, steps, steps
00:19:15Oh, I've enjoyed the song
00:19:16Oh, Jesus, steps, steps, steps
00:19:17It's just walking down steps
00:19:19Kyle, actually
00:19:20It's in high heels, Kyle
00:19:22It's in high heels
00:19:23I've walked down steps in high heels myself
00:19:25I know you have
00:19:27Now, sure, it's more of a private situation
00:19:29I can't unsee it
00:19:30I'll just get it out of there
00:19:31And they weren't that well fitting either
00:19:33Like that ugly steps
00:19:34That you never have
00:19:35Oh, it's my
00:19:36Anyway
00:19:37You did great
00:19:37But that's a
00:19:39The song is perfect for you
00:19:40Because you're always happy and uplifting
00:19:42But I just didn't feel that you were happy until halfway through
00:19:45But I still loved it
00:19:46Still very energetic
00:19:48Enjoyable
00:19:53Lily Grace
00:19:54How are you feeling?
00:19:55I can see that you're not
00:19:57On top of the world right now
00:19:59No, I'm okay
00:20:00I don't know tonight
00:20:01You know, I will just say
00:20:02In preparation for this week
00:20:04I did lose someone very special to me
00:20:07My beautiful Auntie Lisa
00:20:08And tonight I was just
00:20:09I had that in my head
00:20:10And this was for her
00:20:12You know, whatever happens
00:20:13Going forward
00:20:14You know, I just wanted to make her proud
00:20:15And I really hope I did that tonight
00:20:17So that was what this performance is for
00:20:25That's not easy
00:20:26That is
00:20:27Forget the stairs and forget the heels
00:20:29That's not easy to do what you did tonight
00:20:30So you did an incredible job
00:20:32Thank you, sir
00:20:34Lily Grace, the original singer of that song
00:20:36Katie Tunstall
00:20:38Gave you some incredible words of wisdom
00:20:40In the lead up to tonight
00:20:41What was that like
00:20:42Being able to talk with her
00:20:44And speak to the person
00:20:45Whose song you were singing on this stage
00:20:46Yeah, you know
00:20:47Honestly, it was amazing
00:20:48She was so kind of down to earth
00:20:50And it felt like
00:20:51It kind of just felt like
00:20:52I was catching up with an old friend
00:20:53Which is like
00:20:54You know, when you're meeting people
00:20:55That are so successful
00:20:56And have had such amazing careers
00:20:57It's not always like that, you know
00:20:58It's like, oh, it's kind of scary
00:20:59But I sat down
00:21:00And she's like, oh, you know
00:21:01How are you going?
00:21:02Like, I'm in Scotland
00:21:04Yeah, we were just
00:21:05We had a great yarn
00:21:06And it was really great to talk to her
00:21:07Amazing
00:21:08Well, that was like the perfect song for you
00:21:10Katie Tunstall is touring Australia in May
00:21:12She is absolutely fantastic

00:21:46We have our Ballarat barber, Harry
00:21:48Adelaide mum and teacher, Samella
00:21:50And our forklift driver, Jacinta
00:21:52But next, it's the Central Coast landscaper, Kalani
00:21:55Preparing to take your breath away
00:21:58With a power ballad from the blockbuster movie, Top Gun
00:22:01Don't go anywhere
00:22:02Idol continues after the break
00:22:14Welcome back
00:22:15It is movie week on Idol
00:22:17And the top 12 are singing cinematic classics for your votes
00:22:22Up next is our landscaper from the Central Coast of New South Wales, Kalani
00:22:26This week, Kalani and the rest of the top 12 scored a VIP invite to an exclusive movie screening
00:22:33Check it out
00:22:41Being in the top 12 has definitely changed my life
00:22:43We've been invited to some crazy events
00:22:46Oh, that's so cool
00:22:47That's, that's massive
00:22:49We've been invited to a VIP screening of Top Gun
00:22:52To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the film
00:22:54I love this movie, guys
00:22:55He's ready
00:22:55Yeah
00:23:01It's such an iconic movie
00:23:03It was always in the background growing up at Nan's place
00:23:06It's a real 80s classic
00:23:07I feel the need
00:23:09The need for speed
00:23:12Being here with the gang and watching Top Gun is an amazing moment
00:23:16And it made me realise the song I'm going to need to sing for Top 12
00:23:20So it's movie week?
00:23:21Yeah, movie week
00:23:22So
00:23:23What are you singing?
00:23:23I'm going to sing Take My Breath Away from the movie Top Gun
00:23:26Classic
00:23:27Yeah, yeah
00:23:28Classic
00:23:28What is it about this movie that you like so much?
00:23:31Well, I think, you know, Maverick, he sort of breaks the rules a little bit, I guess, in a sense
00:23:35And does his own thing
00:23:36And I feel like that sort of relates to me with my music
00:23:39Seeing as I never had any lessons or that sort of thing
00:23:42Which is, like, mind-blowing to me, yep
00:23:44I've gone more off feel and instinct
00:23:47There's a lot of pressure to perform this song really well
00:23:50Especially after getting the fast pass into Top 12
00:23:54I would like to give you my fast pass, Kalani
00:23:58Wow, holy moly
00:24:01There's so many great singers in this competition
00:24:04For me, it's like, how does he
00:24:07How does he top it?
00:24:09Yeah, yeah
00:24:09Every time?
00:24:14I don't know
00:24:14I mean
00:24:16I do really need to level up and make sure Australia's going to vote for me
00:24:20And they stay hooked
00:24:22I really need to find out what I can do to enhance and elevate this next performance
00:24:27Because it's getting down to some short numbers now
00:24:29And there's some great voices here
00:24:31And it's getting real
00:24:32I definitely feel like I've got something to prove with this one
00:24:35I want to be the Maverick and model
00:24:37I want to win this thing
00:24:38And make my dreams come true
00:24:44Watching every motion
00:24:46In my foolish lover's game
00:24:53On this endless ocean
00:24:56Finally lovers know no shame
00:25:02Turning and returning
00:25:05Turning and returning
00:25:06To some secret place
00:25:07Inside
00:25:12Watching in slow motion
00:25:15As you turn around
00:25:17And say
00:25:22Take my breath away
00:25:25Take my breath away
00:25:33Watching I keep waiting
00:25:36Still anticipating love
00:25:42Never hesitating
00:25:45To become the fading one
00:25:48To become the fading one
00:25:50Oh
00:25:51Turning and returning
00:25:55To some secret place
00:25:57To hide
00:26:00Take my breath away
00:26:09Take my breath away
00:26:19Take my breath away
00:26:31Take my breath away
00:26:33Take my breath away
00:26:35Take my breath away
00:26:35Take my breath away
00:26:35Thank you
00:26:40Thank you
00:26:49So cool
00:26:50So cool
00:26:55Hello Kehlani
00:26:56Hey buddy
00:26:57Hi man
00:26:59You know what?
00:27:00You pull this look off
00:27:02Really well
00:27:03I remember you in the high viz
00:27:05And you were like
00:27:05Yeah g'day mate
00:27:06I'm a tradie
00:27:06Whatever
00:27:06I move rocks around
00:27:07And this here
00:27:09Beautiful
00:27:09Top Gun
00:27:10Great soundtrack
00:27:11Fantastic
00:27:11Remember when we were kids
00:27:13They were playing that stuff
00:27:14Yeah that was beautiful
00:27:15And where did you get
00:27:16Them MC Hammer pants
00:27:17I haven't seen them
00:27:18Since Cavill Ave
00:27:19On the Gold Coast
00:27:19Mate
00:27:19Look
00:27:20Wardrobe
00:27:211988
00:27:22Cavill Ave
00:27:23Gold Coast
00:27:24That's when I last saw
00:27:25Those big parachute pants
00:27:26They're the bomb
00:27:26I'm digging them
00:27:27I thought it was a skirt
00:27:28For a minute
00:27:28But it's actually trousers
00:27:29Yeah it's not the first time
00:27:31It's been mistaken
00:27:32For a skirt
00:27:32You know
00:27:33I think I can pull it off
00:27:33You pulled the look off
00:27:35You pulled the song off
00:27:36Thanks dude
00:27:37Fantastic
00:27:37I love you
00:27:38I love everything about you
00:27:39Good luck
00:27:39I love you
00:27:47There's really something
00:27:48Quite special
00:27:49About sitting
00:27:50And watching
00:27:52A singer develop
00:27:53His or her style
00:27:55Come on
00:27:56You take my breath away
00:27:57Thank you so much
00:27:58You're really
00:27:59Men's the world
00:27:59Men's the world
00:28:00Yeah
00:28:01You know
00:28:01You needed it
00:28:03You needed it
00:28:03And you did what you wanted
00:28:05And I love the lower register
00:28:06And then I love when you just saw
00:28:08You know
00:28:09Yeah
00:28:09It's a pleasure Kalani
00:28:11You're amazing
00:28:12Thank you so much
00:28:13Thank you
00:28:16Kalani
00:28:16You're always great
00:28:18I mean
00:28:19That voice
00:28:19You're so blessed with it
00:28:21And I really enjoyed that
00:28:24And I think once you go on
00:28:26And people know you as an artist
00:28:27You'll be able to really nestle in your genre
00:28:30And everything to do with being an artist
00:28:33But just be careful in the competition
00:28:36Keep trying to find those pockets and moments
00:28:38To almost shock us
00:28:40Because unfortunately it is a competition
00:28:42I don't want you to get forgotten
00:28:45So just always be on the lookout for that
00:28:47That was still amazing
00:28:48But do you know what I mean
00:28:48Of course
00:28:49Yeah
00:28:49Always just find where you're going to shine
00:28:51Because you've got a real hidden talent
00:28:54It's amazing
00:28:55Always an orgasm at the end
00:28:57Thank you so much
00:28:57Remember that
00:28:59Thank you
00:29:04Breathtaking
00:29:05Absolutely breathtaking Kalani
00:29:07Did you enjoy that?
00:29:09So much fun
00:29:09I love that song you know
00:29:11And I'm living my dream at the moment
00:29:14So couldn't ask for anything more
00:29:16Oh my gosh 100%
00:29:17Now Kalani you and the idols
00:29:19Got to attend a VIP screening of Top Gun
00:29:22How was that?
00:29:23Super fun
00:29:24Super fun to you know
00:29:25Have a little movie night
00:29:26Amongst all the madness with my friends
00:29:28So yeah it was beautiful
00:29:29It was beautiful
00:29:30So so good
00:29:31It is such an iconic film
00:29:33You can also catch the 40th anniversary of Top Gun
00:29:35In cinemas from May 14
00:29:38So it turns out the idol fame
00:29:40Isn't just reserved for the top 12
00:29:44It can rub off on your family and friends too
00:29:48Kalani's Nana Sue is iconic
00:29:51We can all agree on that
00:29:53She's in the audience again tonight
00:29:54And this week she did her first ever radio interview with Triple M
00:29:59Alright girlfriend
00:30:00You
00:30:02Has all the fame
00:30:05Hello
00:30:05Has all the fame gone to your head yet Nana Sue?
00:30:09Well I certainly wasn't expecting it at all that's for sure
00:30:12But he definitely has put me in the spotlight a bit
00:30:15You're the star of the show Nan
00:30:19We knew that from the moment we met you at auditions
00:30:21You were the real star of the show here Nan
00:30:24It's just been the best thing watching him rise like this
00:30:29He's just truly incredible
00:30:30We're all so proud of him up here
00:30:32I love you
00:30:32Love where you're going
00:30:35Well if you want Kalani to land in the top 10
00:30:39It's all in your hands Australia
00:30:41Text the number on the screen right now
00:30:44Remember you have 10 votes per phone per voting period
00:30:48Let's hear it for Kalani
00:30:56Now Kalani's song was an Oscar winning hit
00:31:00And if you want to know who will win big at the Oscars this year
00:31:03You can check out all the red carpet action live and exclusive on sunrise
00:31:07At 5.30 tomorrow morning
00:31:10Okay tonight the first half of the top 12 are singing for your vote
00:31:14But at the end of the show one of them will score the judge save
00:31:18Which will send them directly into the top 10
00:31:20That massive decision for our judges is on the way
00:31:23But after the break from Ballarat in Victoria
00:31:26Harry our singing barber steps into the spotlight
00:31:30Idol is back after this
00:31:43Tonight on Idol your top 12 take on songs from the movies
00:31:48And with voting open you are the director of their fate
00:31:51Kyle I thought maybe to get us in the movie mood
00:31:54You could give us your best movie trailer voice
00:31:57To introduce our next Idol
00:32:00Talking into a mic
00:32:01Yeah
00:32:02A bit nervous
00:32:04Okay
00:32:05This weekend at the movies
00:32:07You've seen him with some scissors
00:32:10You've seen him with a comb
00:32:12But you've never seen him like this
00:32:16Put your hands together
00:32:18Our barber from Ballarat
00:32:20Ladies and gentlemen
00:32:21Give it up for Harry
00:32:29Harry welcome to the top 12
00:32:32Thank you so much
00:32:33How are you feeling?
00:32:33I'm stoked
00:32:34I'm really happy
00:32:35Talk to me about top 21
00:32:37It was a whole new thing for me
00:32:38Obviously the whole transformation
00:32:39And the rock kind of thing
00:32:41Which is all pretty fresh
00:32:42But I'm excited the judges kind of gave me another chance
00:32:44So all you've got to do is
00:32:45Instead of being a gentle little boy
00:32:47Putting the microphone
00:32:49Flip that stare
00:32:50That's all you need
00:32:51A little bit of tweaking
00:32:54I've taken the judges feedback on board
00:32:56And this week I really want to show them
00:32:57That I can be a rock star
00:32:58And that I can really own the stage
00:33:00Movie week
00:33:01What song are you singing?
00:33:02I'm doing Born to be Wild from Easy Rider
00:33:04Oh nice
00:33:05You really are leaning into the rock and roll
00:33:08Super rocky
00:33:09It's going to be fun
00:33:09It's like really upbeat
00:33:10And it's going to be a vibe
00:33:12I love smoking lightning
00:33:16Heavy metal thunder
00:33:18A song like this requires you to really give it your all
00:33:22If you go out there and sort of half cook it
00:33:24It's just going to look soft
00:33:25And no one likes a soft rock star
00:33:27If you go get out on the highway
00:33:29And then you smile
00:33:30Kind of kills the mood
00:33:32Exactly
00:33:33The song's called Born to be Wild
00:33:35So I think I need to get wild with it
00:33:36And get loose
00:33:37Without looking like a serial killer
00:33:39The theme for you this week
00:33:41Is just 100% commitment
00:33:42Leaning into the rock and roll Harry
00:33:45That's it
00:33:46I'm excited
00:33:50Born to be Wild
00:33:53I really have to perform this one with conviction
00:33:55So I'm really letting loose
00:33:57Getting wild
00:33:59Rock stars aren't gentle
00:34:01And I really need to let loose on the stage this week
00:34:02I'm going to really rock out
00:34:03And show Australia what I can do
00:34:14Get your motor running
00:34:18Head out on the highway
00:34:21Looking for adventure
00:34:23And whatever comes our way
00:34:27Yeah darling gonna make it happen
00:34:31Take the world in a long embrace
00:34:34Fire all of your guns at once
00:34:38An exploding face

00:34:47We can climb so high
00:34:49I never want to die
00:34:54Born to be wild
00:35:00I was hoping life
00:35:04Heavy metal thunder
00:35:07Racing with the wind
00:35:10And the feeling that I'm under
00:35:14Yeah darling gonna make it happen
00:35:17Take the world in a long embrace

00:35:46I'm born to be wild
00:35:55I'm born to be wild
00:35:57I'm born to be wild

00:37:35watching you well done so much she had a really good time watching you that's really what an artist
00:37:48wants to hear they want people because to be really successful in this business you either
00:37:53you either want to be that person on stage or you want to have sex with that person on stage
00:37:59that's that's really what being an artist is you think it's about singing and writing no one gives a
00:38:04shit about that right you you you did everything we told you to do from last week yes you looked

00:38:54parents are manning the barber's chairs while you're here at idle is it true that they're busier
00:39:00than ever with people wanting a haircut it is it's very true I think the phone's ringing off the hook

00:41:42it's movie week yeah top 12 what song do you see i'm singing circle of life from the lion king
00:41:49oh my gosh just the most powerful song ever my connection to the circle of life is thinking
00:41:56about the generations of wonderful women in my family i'm so grateful to have been raised by strong
00:42:03powerful women lionesses and women that are fearless and i can't wait to raise a powerful
00:42:10fearless woman like that's what the world needs
00:42:15through the sapphire skies this song is really emotive it's a powerful song
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 you just need
00:42:33to relax into it totally it almost feels robotic too tight too tight yeah this song does not allow
00:42:40for robotics it needs to be emotive and it needs to flow melodically we'll sing it one more time and
00:42:45just thinking about the generations the women powerful and simply and just really channeling that
00:42:51it's incredibly important to forget about the technical side of the scene and remember who i'm
00:42:56singing this for i'm thinking about my yeah my grandma i'm thinking about my mom i'm thinking about my
00:43:03daughter it is so important that i completely blow this performance out of the water to ensure that i have
00:43:10a spot in the top 10.

00:47:49It was such a big song to sing
00:47:50Um
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

00:48:14For my parents
00:48:15And 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
00:48:21Doesn't sound like you at all Ricky
00:48:23The circle of life
00:48:25Is my absolute favourite
00:48:26And I cry every time I hear it
00:48:27And I
00:48:28Had all the emotions just then
00:48:30I was really upset
00:48:31That no one
00:48:31Put a baby up in the air
00:48:33Oh yeah

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
00:50:29From the 90s rom-com
00:50:30You've got mail
00:50:31And boy
00:50:32She'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
00:50:59My day to day life
00:51:00Is somewhat of a famous person
00:51:03But 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
00:51:09Really lovely comments
00:51:11Go Jacinta
00:51:12Do it for the
00:51:13Ballcliffe girl
00:51:13Are you kidding me?
00:51:17Seeing 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
00:51:35Then I think that's probably
00:51:37The most special thing
00:51:38It's movie week
00:51:39Yeah
00:51:40What are you singing this week?
00:51:42So I'm singing
00:51:42Dreams by 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
00:52:01In 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
00:52:12Oh
00:52:13Okay, cool
00:52:14That's probably not your strongest
00:52:17I felt your voice just get a bit nervous
00:52:21I know it's a scary thing
00:52:23Because you're so used to singing in a certain place
00:52:25But in this moment
00:52:27That's when the bands 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 and then you went
00:52:44Yeah
00:52:44I want to do it for the people
00:52:46I'm inspiring
00:52:47I can't let these people down
00:52:49They will be at the forefront
00:52:50When I perform
00:52:56All my life
00:53:00It's changing every day
00:53:05In every possible way
00:53:13In all my dreams
00:53:17It's never quite as it seems
00:53:21Never quite as it seems
00:53:25Never quite as it seems
00:53:38I'm playing from you
00:53:59I know I felt like this before
00:54:05But now I'm feeling it even
00:54:08Even more
00:54:10Even more
00:54:10Because it came from you
00:54:14Because it came from you
00:54:19And all my life
00:54:22It's changing every time
00:54:26In every possible way
00:54:35In all my dreams
00:54:39It's never quite as it seems
00:54:43Cause you're gonna dream to me
00:54:47Dream to me
00:54:49Dream to me
00:55:13In this country
00:55:14In this country
00:55:14And it was funny
00:55:15Because obviously Dolores' voice
00:55:17Is so different and iconic
00:55:20And it really made sense
00:55:22For you to do something like that
00:55:24I was worried
00:55:25It's just such a big song to tackle
00:55:27I was worried in the big
00:55:28Big notes
00:55:29But you really are such an individual
00:55:34And you've just got this voice
00:55:36That I want it to stay
00:55:37I could just listen to you
00:55:38In that
00:55:39That register
00:55:40That sort of lower register
00:55:41All day
00:55:42I was worried about the
00:55:44When you took on the high notes there
00:55:45But
00:55:46I just love what you're about
00:55:47And I think Australia
00:55:49Loves what you're about
00:55:50So
00:55:51Keep going
00:55:51Keep challenging yourself
00:55:53Thank you so much
00:55:54You should be proud
00:55:54Thank you
00:55:59I'll just say this
00:56:00I met Dolores way back in the day
00:56:02With she and her husband
00:56:03A very unusual human being
00:56:05That's why she sang that way
00:56:07You know
00:56:08I think she lived an incredibly
00:56:10Tortured life
00:56:10I think
00:56:12You chose well with the song
00:56:14I think the big notes really
00:56:16Kinda
00:56:17Tripped you up a bit
00:56:18You know
00:56:19Tell me
00:56:20Talk to me
00:56:20How did you feel about the big notes?
00:56:25Yeah
00:56:25I mean
00:56:26Doing the big notes
00:56:28I think was
00:56:28Not only me stepping out
00:56:31Vocally
00:56:31But like
00:56:32Physically
00:56:33And mentally
00:56:33And it's so hard to like
00:56:36Sorry
00:56:37It's so hard to break
00:56:39From those walls
00:56:45It's like I'm fighting myself
00:56:47You know
00:56:48But Jacinta you know
00:56:49It's kinda like you know
00:56:49You go hard or you go home
00:56:51Okay
00:56:52So like
00:56:52If you're going to sing a song like that
00:56:54And you want to sing a song like that
00:56:56I have no problem with it
00:56:57But you find your own interpretation
00:57:00With the instructions that
00:57:02That Carmen gives you
00:57:03You know
00:57:04And so
00:57:05When a note doesn't feel right
00:57:07In you
00:57:07Guess what
00:57:08It's not right
00:57:10Okay
00:57:10So I think you did
00:57:12A very good job
00:57:13Don't cry honey
00:57:14Sorry
00:57:14I'm not
00:57:15Don't be sorry
00:57:16But I'm not here to tear you down either
00:57:18I'm here to encourage you
00:57:19Okay
00:57:20Of course
00:57:20So when you sing
00:57:22You sing for yourself

00:57:33Okay
00:57:34But I think you did a good job
00:57:35But don't cry
00:57:36No need
00:57:36Thank you Martha
00:57:38You're welcome
00:57:46Thank you
00:57:46Okay real talk
00:57:47What's going on?
00:57:48Yeah
00:57:48Are you alright?
00:57:49Yeah I'm good
00:57:50What's going on?
00:57:51Sorry guys
00:57:52Be honest
00:57:52Just sit with the headline
00:57:54What's going on?
00:57:55Um
00:57:56Anxiety
00:57:57A lot of anxiety
00:57:58Yeah
00:57:58I understand
00:57:59Yeah
00:57:59You know what this business
00:58:01Nearly every person you see on TV
00:58:03Or on stage
00:58:04Or in films
00:58:06Nearly everyone
00:58:07Has got anxiety
00:58:08Yeah
00:58:09This will shock you
00:58:10Welcome to the
00:58:11Anxiety ridden business
00:58:13We're all riddled with it
00:58:15Where every bastard's got the anxiety
00:58:16Except for me
00:58:19And you'd think after this week
00:58:21Why 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
00:58:30That have had anxiety
00:58:32You nailed it
00:58:33When you're up there
00:58:34You don't see it
00:58:35You cloaked it
00:58:36Um
00:58:37I think we've seen you perform better
00:58:40But I love your voice
00:58:41I do think that's a great song
00:58:43That
00:58:44The anxiety
00:58:45We can't see it
00:58:46Until you cried
00:58:47I didn't even know
00:58:48Yep
00:58:49So whatever little shower curtain
00:58:50You've got hanging up from the roof there
00:58:52That was enough 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
00:58:59Yeah
00:58:59Thank you
00:59:08You know what the most amazing thing though was to see is to see
00:59:12I feel like this is a little bit of a representation of what you've been feeling
00:59:15And to see you walk out and into the light
00:59:17Was the most incredibly beautiful thing
00:59:19And you are doing such an incredible job
00:59:21That was a stunning performance
00:59:23Anything
00:59:23You 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
00:59:34Had a little chat
00:59:35But how did it feel that performance for you
00:59:39It felt
00:59:40Parts of it felt good
00:59:41And then parts of that felt like I was a bit trapped
00:59:43I was scared to take that step
00:59:45Because for me I feel like taking that step
00:59:47Is now like
00:59:48Like this is it
00:59:50Like you can't go back into that box
00:59:51Like
00:59:52So I think it was just a bit overwhelming
00:59:54Taking that step
00:59:55Yeah
00:59:56But you did it
00:59:57And that's what this show is all about
01:00:04Now Jacinta we saw in your video package
01:00:07All those letters coming in Kyles
01:00:09Doing the forklift driving
01:00:11All the forklift drivers from around the country
01:00:14Are really getting behind you
01:00:16How does it make you feel
01:00:17When you see that support
01:00:19That's going to make you feel
01:00:21Yeah it makes me feel
01:00:22It makes me feel really whole
01:00:24And really blessed
01:00:26And really grateful
01:00:26That people are backing me
01:00:28In that way
01:00:29Like you can't
01:00:29You can't put a price on that
01:00:31You focus on that
01:00:32And that's the good
01:00:33In what this business is
01:00:34You find your people
01:00:35And your supporters
01:00:36And the people that love you
01:00:37And you listen to them
01:00:38And if you want to make sure
01:00:41Jacinta stays in the competition
01:00:42You have to vote for her
01:00:43Okay?
01:00:44Vote, vote, vote

01:00:53Yeah
01:00:54Thanks guys
01:00:59Alright
01:01:00Well we have come to the end
01:01:02Of the performances for tonight
01:01:04That means
01:01:04It's time for our judges
01:01:06To deliberate
01:01:06On who they'll save
01:01:08From the public vote
01:01:09And send directly into the top 10
01:01:11That
01:01:12Mission Impossible
01:01:13Is coming up
01:01:14Don't go anywhere
01:01:25Welcome back
01:01:25All tonight's idols
01:01:26Have performed
01:01:27And shortly the judges
01:01:29Must make
01:01:29The tough decision
01:01:30On who they will save
01:01:32From the viewer
01:01:33Vote
01:01:33And send directly
01:01:34Into the top 10
01:01:36Carl
01:01:36You guys are finding it
01:01:38Really tough tonight
01:01:38Aren't you?
01:01:39Because everyone has stepped up
01:01:40Well nearly everyone
01:01:42Has stepped up
01:01:43Tonight I think
01:01:44It's obvious who hasn't
01:01:45But it's still anyone's game
01:01:47It's anyone's contest
01:01:48This is the hardest part
01:01:50And a lot of people's favourites
01:01:52Every week someone goes home
01:01:54Unfortunately
01:01:54Yeah it is the hard part
01:01:56Now while they hash it out
01:01:58Let's check in
01:01:59On what your top 12
01:02:00Have been up to this week
01:02:02It hasn't just been rehearsals
01:02:03Far from it
01:02:04They've been living
01:02:05The full idol experience
01:02:07Flashing cameras
01:02:09Luxury rides
01:02:10Recording studios
01:02:11And VIP events
01:02:13They have stepped into the spotlight
01:02:15And totally
01:02:16Owned it
01:02:19Top 12 is insane
01:02:20I feel like
01:02:21There's just
01:02:22Always something
01:02:23That's going on
01:02:24Today
01:02:24We are getting
01:02:25The best opportunities
01:02:28Like workshops
01:02:29With Sony
01:02:30Workshops
01:02:30With The Annex
01:02:31Recording studio
01:02:32With The Hive
01:02:33It is just like
01:02:34Creme de la creme
01:02:36God's love everyone
01:02:37Yeah I mean the fact
01:02:38We're travelling
01:02:39And riding in a limo
01:02:41I feel luxurious
01:02:43Has anyone never been in a limo before?
01:02:46Not me
01:02:49We've all been travelling around by limo
01:02:51Which has been crazy
01:02:52And now we're at Sony Music Publishing
01:02:53And we're doing the songwriting course
01:02:55Love the orange
01:02:57Sony is really really proud to be looking after people like
01:03:01See ya
01:03:01Five 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
01:03:10I 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
01:03:16How can we make your experience come alive?
01:03:19I never had this kind of expertise or this kind of like knowledge about the industry so much before idol
01:03:25We're heading to the annex to the social media workshop
01:03:28Social media is still new to me
01:03:30Because I only recently just got a phone
01:03:32So your phone is a direct connection to growing your audience
01:03:35So that when people land they immediately can get an understanding of who you are
01:03:40There 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
01:03:56Who's excited?
01:04:01I've definitely got a taste of what being a recording artist could be
01:04:04And I will do whatever it 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 you don't come on idol just to sing you're getting real world experience working
01:04:30with industry professionals
01:04:32It'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 got to bang on doors
01:04:57Yeah a lot of like discipline and sacrifices
01:05:01Yes
01:05:01Anything to sort of yeah make the dream come alive
01:05:04Absolutely
01:05:05I mean you two are the perfect example of that still
01:05:07Thank you
01:05:08Like still banging down doors, still killing it, still doing your thing
01:05:10It never ends
01:05:11You got a gig
01:05:12Yeah
01:05:12Hey 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
01:05:21Well everyone as you saw in the video
01:05:24The Top 12 were recording their debut single all night long
01:05:28You can download that right now on iTunes
01:05:31And 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
01:05:52You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026
01:06:06They'll win a life changing $100,000
01:06:11Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards and the TV Week Logie Awards
01:06:16Boost their brand with the annex
01:06:19The experts in marketing and social media
01:06:22Attend a songwriting camp with Sony Music Publishing
01:06:26And score an exclusive package to record new music at Sydney's Hive Sound Studios
01:06:36Yeah that is all waiting for the winner
01:06:38Studio 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
01:06:48And now it is over to the judges to decide which one lucky idol will be catapulted into the Top
01:06:5610
01:06:56Giving them immunity from the nationwide vote
01:07:00It could be the idol they believe was the best on the night
01:07:03Or someone they think deserves a second chance
01:07:06So Amy and Marsha
01:07:07Six incredible singers
01:07:09But 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
01:07:17Like I keep saying
01:07:18We found you guys
01:07:19Now Australia is going to decide who they believe should be their next Australian idol
01:07:24Or their Top 10
01:07:25Yeah I think
01:07:26I mean I'm really proud of everyone that is here
01:07:30So yeah it's all up to Australia now
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
01:07:42To save from the public vote and send straight into the Top 10
01:07:47Kyle 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
01:08:16To Smella
01:08:17Thanks
