00:01:18And Omi Shark!

00:01:47A very good evening, judges.
00:01:49You all look fantastic tonight.
00:01:52Okay, so here's a little refresh
00:01:53on how the top 12 works.
00:01:55Last night we saw six amazing idols perform.
00:01:59Charlie, Lily Grace, Kalani, Harry, Samela, and Jacinta.
00:02:03Samela claimed the judges save,
00:02:05scoring immunity from the public vote
00:02:07and securing herself a coveted place in the top 10.
00:02:11Australia, oh yeah.
00:02:15Australia, your votes poured in, but time is up.
00:02:21Voting has closed and the results will be revealed live tomorrow night.
00:02:27Right now though, six more idols will hit the stage singing for your votes
00:02:31and their shot at the top 10.
00:02:34We have got Kesha, our singing skier from Jindalbine.
00:02:38Johnny Jukebox from Bunbury in Western Australia.
00:02:43And Brizzy Boy Harlan.
00:02:45There he is.
00:02:48Plus three Victorians vying for victory.
00:02:52Soul singing waitress Wan Woo.
00:02:55Young dad Trey.
00:02:59And our Melbourne model Sophie.
00:03:06Voting is now open for these idols.
00:03:09Text who you want to see in the top 10.
00:03:11It's as simple as that.
00:03:12Details are on the screen right now.
00:03:14Thanks to the all-new Jaiku J5 EV
00:03:17powering electric idol performances.
00:03:20Now you can vote up to 10 times.
00:03:22Use them all on one idol.
00:03:24You can spread the love.
00:03:25Text now.
00:03:26Or you can wait until you've seen everyone perform.
00:03:28It is up to you.
00:03:30And don't forget, after everyone is sung,
00:03:33the judges have the power to save one idol from the public vote.
00:03:37Instantly locking them into a top 10 spot.
00:03:41An invaluable lifeline for one lucky idol tonight.
00:03:44All right, Kyle and Marsha.
00:03:46In the wake of today's Oscars, in your opinion,
00:03:48what will make a performance truly Oscar worthy for you?
00:03:52Well, I always think the Oscars are the worst films
00:03:55that no one goes to see.
00:03:58Happy Madison never won one Oscar.
00:04:01Such a good movie.
00:04:02It's outrageous, right?
00:04:04Look, the soundtracks really do make the film.
00:04:07They make the movie, yeah.
00:04:08Sometimes you remember the music more than you remember the movie, right?
00:04:12That's true.
00:04:12Some amazing ones over the years.
00:04:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:04:14So, Amy, what should our idols keep in mind as they step into the spotlight tonight?
00:04:19Well, I think as stressful as it feels, like you're here,
00:04:23you might as well just take a few deep breaths and go for it.
00:04:26For it.
00:04:26You know?
00:04:27Just absolutely go for it.
00:04:28Wise words.
00:04:29All right.
00:04:29Well, let's get into it with our first performance of the night.
00:04:32She's the 22-year-old singing skier from Jindabyne,
00:04:36taking on a mega 80s hit from one of the highest grossing films in recent history.
00:04:42This is Kesha!
00:04:52Top 12 is like insane.
00:04:55It's the biggest achievement of my life.
00:04:57So, I'm very, very stoked.
00:05:00Last week, Kyle told me I looked like a superhero.
00:05:03You look incredible.
00:05:05It's Xena Warrior Princess.
00:05:07You're a real contender.
00:05:08That was excellent.
00:05:10I mean, my outfit was very silver and metallic and actually pretty superhero-like.
00:05:17So, I'm throwing them all the superheroes this week.
00:05:25For Top 12 movie week, I am singing Like a Prayer from the movie Deadpool.
00:05:30This song is from the iconic Deadpool and Wolverine fight scene.
00:05:35So, it's a pretty epic scene in the film and I want my performance to be epic.
00:05:42How do you relate to this song?
00:05:43I think there's a couple powers that everyone would want to have.
00:05:48You know, power of like being fearless.
00:05:50Everything.
00:05:50Being able to walk onto the stage and not really have a thought.
00:05:54I would just go for it.
00:05:57Thousands of people watching you have to be fearless.
00:05:59You don't have a choice, otherwise you crumble under pressure.
00:06:02It's just not an option in this stage of the competition.
00:06:05It's a bit of a genre change for you.
00:06:08Yeah, it definitely is.
00:06:09I mean, it's different from my slower, really, you know, hectic ballads.
00:06:16When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:06:21I'm down on my knees.
00:06:22I want to take you there.
00:06:26Changing the genre.
00:06:28It's definitely a risk.
00:06:32Lean in.
00:06:33Commit, commit, commit, commit.
00:06:35Yeah.
00:06:35Because otherwise it just feels like a steam train.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38This is full crunch time.
00:06:40It's really difficult.
00:06:41But if I don't get this song right, 100% my dreams could be over.
00:06:53Life is a mystery.
00:06:58Everyone must stand alone.
00:07:01I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.
00:07:15When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:07:20I'm down on my knees.
00:07:22I want to take you there.
00:07:24In the midnight hour, I can feel your power.
00:07:28Just like a prayer.
00:07:30You know I'll take you there.
00:07:32I hear your voice.
00:07:36It's like an angel's sign.
00:07:41I have no choice.
00:07:43I hear your voice.
00:07:46I hear your voice.
00:07:46Heaven help me.
00:07:49Just like a prayer.
00:07:51Your voice will take me there.
00:07:53Just like a muse to me.
00:07:55You are a mystery.
00:07:58Just like a dream.
00:07:59You are on what you see.
00:08:02Just like a prayer.
00:08:03No choice.
00:08:04Your voice will take me there.
00:08:08When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:08:12I'm down on my knees.
00:08:14I want to take you there.
00:08:16In the midnight hour, I can feel your power.
00:08:21Just like a prayer.
00:08:22You know I'll take you there.
00:08:25Just like a prayer.
00:08:27You know I'll take you there.
00:08:29Just like a muse to me.
00:08:31You are a mystery.
00:08:33Just like a prayer.
00:08:35You know I'll take you there.
00:08:37Just like a prayer.
00:08:39No choice.
00:08:40Your voice will take me there.
00:08:42Just like a prayer.
00:08:58Just like a prayer.
00:09:00Just like a prayer.
00:09:00Just like a prayer.
00:09:01Just like a prayer.
00:09:01Just like a prayer.
00:09:01Just like a prayer.
00:09:02Just like a prayer.
00:09:05Just like a prayer.
00:09:07Just like a prayer.
00:09:13Oh, thank you, girls.
00:09:20Wow!
00:09:23Oh, my God!
00:09:31I know Marcia's supposed to be speaking first.
00:09:35I know Marcia's supposed to be...
00:09:36That was a great start to the show.
00:09:42And doing a Madonna song, everyone knows that,
00:09:46so I was like, oh, everyone's going to compare,
00:09:48and you smashed it, babe.
00:09:50You smashed it.
00:09:53Thank you so much.
00:09:54What about when she just flicked the hand
00:09:57because she knew she had that note coming?
00:09:59It's like we've just been to the Kesha show
00:10:02and now we're just dissecting it.
00:10:03It truly was top level.
00:10:05I loved it.
00:10:06Kesha, you know, I, me, myself, Bing, and Amy,
00:10:11we love strong women.
00:10:12And that's how you present.
00:10:14You know, obviously you do gigs.
00:10:17It's obviously you know what movements to make.
00:10:20That's what it's all about,
00:10:21and what a great way to start the show.
00:10:23Well done, honey.
00:10:25Thank you so much.
00:10:28Um, Kesha, like, just no notes really.
00:10:35Carry on as you were.
00:10:36That was, that was fantastic.
00:10:38Yay!
00:10:38Yay, Kesha!
00:10:42So good.
00:10:43Kesha, you've cast a spell over the judges.
00:10:46I've never in my life seen Kyle move that quickly.
00:10:50I was a bit nervous.
00:10:51That was awesome.
00:10:52I was a bit nervous
00:10:52because, like, usually when you go to people's barbecues,
00:10:55who else, the big boys here,
00:10:56don't like the white plastic chairs?
00:10:59You know, and this desk, I was like,
00:11:01This isn't Timu.
00:11:02This is real stuff.
00:11:04This is real wood.
00:11:05It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:08It must be freedom.
00:11:09I loved it.
00:11:10Kesha, that was an incredible performance.
00:11:13I mean, it's a dumb question,
00:11:14but how do you think that went?
00:11:17Oh, I mean, I felt great.
00:11:20Like, it's just the crowd, my beautiful,
00:11:22always my beautiful friends and family.
00:11:25I'm like...
00:11:29Yeah, I'm obsessed with them
00:11:31and my, like, everyone who's competing here is so amazing.
00:11:36So when you're surrounded by people that just support you,
00:11:39it's, you know, this band and...
00:11:40You're going to be better finishing at the clap.
00:11:42Oh, my gosh.
00:11:43Yeah.
00:11:44It's amazing.
00:11:44I saw you backstage and you just said,
00:11:46I just want to get out there
00:11:47and I just want to get this done and over with.
00:11:49Yeah.
00:11:49And my God, you just knocked it out of the park.
00:11:52Australia is voting tonight.
00:11:54Why should they get behind our skiing singer?
00:12:01Why do you reckon they should get behind you?
00:12:03Oh, hey.
00:12:04Music is my life.
00:12:06It's my passion.
00:12:07It's my love.
00:12:07And if I can do that and have a job that I love
00:12:11and share that with amazing people like you guys in the crowd,
00:12:14that's just, like, everything you could ask for as a musician.
00:12:19So...
00:12:19Oh, yeah.
00:12:20Well, if you want to see Kesha in the top ten, you need to vote Australia.
00:12:25Text Kesha to 0457 500 700 right now.

00:13:17And to the stage door.
00:13:20I'm not on mute.

00:13:43That's so good.
00:13:45Pretty Woman, can I like to know you?
00:13:48Yes.
00:13:49I love it, man.
00:13:50Hello.
00:13:51Welcome to Top 12.
00:13:53Hooray.
00:13:55Here you are now.
00:13:56It's Movie Week.
00:13:57What song are you singing this week?
00:13:59I'm singing Pretty Woman from Pretty Woman.
00:14:02Yes.
00:14:03By Roy Orbison.
00:14:04Tell me about how you connect to the song.
00:14:06Pretty Woman.
00:14:07Just...
00:14:07Pretty Woman.
00:14:10Walking on by?
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12This...
00:14:12Oh, this is so embarrassing.
00:14:14I'm just thinking...
00:14:16Not that anyone should know this one.
00:14:18Thinking about my crush.
00:14:20I'm gonna start getting red.
00:14:21Jesus.
00:14:23Oh, that was so embarrassing.
00:14:25Pretty Woman.
00:14:26Pretty Woman.
00:14:28Pretty Woman.
00:14:29I don't believe you.
00:14:31You're not the truth.
00:14:33Look as good as me.
00:14:34Yeah, so there's an extra two beats there.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:37I'm struggling a bit with the timing of this song.
00:14:40It's very tricky.
00:14:44Grit.
00:14:45Oh.
00:14:46Oh, wow.
00:14:48Just remembering that timing stuff, okay?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:52There's just a lot going on in my head.
00:14:53It is so critical for your timing to be exactly on point.
00:14:58If I don't get it right this week, I'll be going home.
00:15:16Pretty Woman.
00:15:17Walkin' down the street.
00:15:19Pretty woman.
00:15:21Kinda like to meet.
00:15:23Pretty woman.
00:15:24I don't believe you.
00:15:27You're not the truth.
00:15:28Not to know, can't good as you.
00:15:38Pretty woman, stop a while
00:15:41Pretty woman, talk a while
00:15:45Pretty woman, give your smile to me
00:15:52Pretty woman, yeah, yeah, yeah
00:15:56Pretty woman, look my way
00:15:59Pretty woman, say you'll stay with me
00:16:06Cause I need you, be mine tonight
00:16:16Pretty woman, don't walk on by
00:16:20Pretty woman, don't make me cry
00:16:24Pretty woman, don't walk away
00:16:31That's the way it must be, oh, hey
00:16:37But wait, what do I see?
00:16:44Is she walking back to me?
00:16:47Yeah, she's walking back to me
00:16:54Oh, pretty woman
00:17:19Jukebox Johnny
00:17:22Bro, you've done it again
00:17:24You've made another grandma song an absolute classic for the young, the middle, the old
00:17:31The good thing about you is that everyone knows that song
00:17:34And I mean from our nana's age
00:17:36Nana was getting frisky with grandpa during that
00:17:40And he was like, oh, pretty woman
00:17:43This will blow you away
00:17:45This will blow you away
00:17:45But they were doing things that you'll be surprised about
00:17:49When you get older, you'll know
00:17:51That, that is exactly what you need to do
00:17:54You're a joy to watch
00:17:56You bring every old song
00:17:57You make it modern
00:17:58You make it youthful
00:17:59You make it powerful
00:18:00You're a real contender to win this contest, young man
00:18:03Thank you so much
00:18:05Thank you so much
00:18:05Thank you so much
00:18:11Thank you
00:18:13Thank you
00:18:13Johnny, you are fearless
00:18:15You are funky
00:18:17And you are so on time
00:18:18Because what you're doing is introducing older music
00:18:21To a younger crowd
00:18:23And their dick
00:18:24And what you're doing with it is so cool
00:18:26And look, I just
00:18:28You're entertaining
00:18:29And that's what it's all about
00:18:30Thank you
00:18:31Thank you
00:18:36I agree with these guys, Johnny
00:18:38You're like, I think you're a genius
00:18:40I think what you have created here is just so smart and fun
00:18:46And I just like wanted to go clubbing
00:18:48And I haven't been clubbing in a long time
00:18:51But that music is just so
00:18:54The arrangement and the energy you put into your show
00:18:58Is just, it's addictive, man
00:19:00You're always so good
00:19:02I always like see your name
00:19:03And I'm like, yes
00:19:03Johnny's up
00:19:04Yeah
00:19:05Thank you so much
00:19:09Johnny
00:19:11Can I just say
00:19:12Can I just say
00:19:12The pitch of the screams in here when you perform are next level
00:19:18It's crazy
00:19:19That was a huge performance
00:19:20How do you think that went?
00:19:22It's just
00:19:23I think it went well
00:19:24But I'm just so happy I can be here
00:19:26I'm treating every performance just like another stepping stone
00:19:30So
00:19:31Yeah, I'm just
00:19:32It's just so good
00:19:33It was amazing
00:19:34What did you guys think?
00:19:40Are you used to that?
00:19:42Wow
00:19:43Usually it's the old ladies screaming up
00:19:45It's the old ladies that are usually doing it
00:19:46They can't scream that loud
00:19:47Now you mentioned in the video that you were singing that for a crush
00:19:52Do you wanna
00:19:54I don't know
00:19:55Maybe spill
00:19:55Who's the pretty woman you've got on your mind, Johnny?
00:19:58What if it's here
00:19:59It's not me
00:20:00I can't say on national television
00:20:02What if they're watching?

00:21:19performance
00:21:19He met with an A-lister who hit the stage at today's Oscars
00:21:23Just wait until you see who it is
00:21:36Welcome back to Idol
00:21:38Look, it's not movie week without your movie snacks
00:21:42You've got your popcorn, your drinks and you can't forget your choc tops
00:21:46And speaking of chocolate, this week Harlan is taking on a song from the iconic movie Willy Wonka and the
00:21:52Chocolate Factory
00:21:53And he had the opportunity to link up with the award winning A-lister Josh Groban to help him prepare
00:22:00for tonight's performance
00:22:07So this week it's top 12 week it's movie week
00:22:10I am singing pure imagination from Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory
00:22:14Today I get the absolute privilege and honor to meet the Josh Groban
00:22:20He sold 35 million albums
00:22:22He's a Grammy nominated artist and Josh has actually covered this song and I really just want to know how
00:22:27he fine-tuned and tweaked his version of it
00:22:29Hey, hi, how are you?
00:22:31Harlan, Josh, nice to meet you
00:22:33Nice to meet you, yeah
00:22:34First of all, congratulations
00:22:35Thank you
00:22:36I've been able to listen to your songs and you've got such a magnificent instrument
00:22:39Oh, thank you
00:22:39You're so good
00:22:40So this is movie songs?
00:22:42Yes, yes, yes
00:22:42Oh man
00:22:43I've chosen to sing Pure Imagination which you've done a wonderful cover of
00:22:46Yes, thank you very much
00:22:47To me the song is just pure nostalgia, takes you back to that place
00:22:50I really want to take a lot of inspiration from your amazing cover
00:22:54So with this song, I like to start it really simple
00:22:58You can grab people's attention with bigness immediately
00:23:01But then that overstays its welcome
00:23:04Yeah
00:23:04And people start to get like, okay, my hair's been blown back for a while now
00:23:08Do you want to just sing just a tiny bit for me?
00:23:09Of course
00:23:11Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination
00:23:22What are you thinking about when you sing this song?
00:23:25That first initial feeling of watching that movie
00:23:28Yeah
00:23:29Like when you see the doors of this massive factory open
00:23:32Yeah, yeah
00:23:32And it's just like that child like wonder and just like awe
00:23:36And it's so infected, that joy
00:23:37If you can tap into that place, then you're golden
00:23:40It's always great to kind of dare to let them lean in
00:23:43Like let them come to you
00:23:44And an audience just wants to feel this
00:23:47That's really all they want
00:23:49Meeting Josh was an incredible experience
00:23:52I have a lot of advice now that I can apply to my own performance
00:23:56I really hope I can tap into the feeling of nostalgia
00:23:59You can get all the notes right
00:24:00But the notes don't matter if you don't have the feeling
00:24:12Come with me
00:24:16And you'll be
00:24:18In a world of pure imagination
00:24:22Take a look
00:24:25And you'll see
00:24:28Into your imagination
00:24:34We'll begin
00:24:37With a spin
00:24:39Traveling in a world of my creation
00:24:45What we'll see
00:24:48We will defy
00:24:52Explanation
00:24:57If you want to view paradise
00:25:03Simply look around
00:25:05And view it
00:25:08Anything you want to do it
00:25:12If you want to change the world
00:25:15There's nothing to it
00:25:21There is no life I know
00:25:28To compare with your imagination
00:25:33Leaving there you'll be free
00:25:38If you can leave
00:25:42If you can leave
00:25:45Wish to me
00:25:48Wish to me
00:25:51Wish to me
00:25:53Wish to me
00:26:07Yeah
00:26:31Well Harlan I have no face because you just melted it off
00:26:35Thank you
00:26:36You are just
00:26:40I think we're having one of these moments where we're seeing someone with an extreme talent
00:26:48Like that was just incredible
00:26:53I don't know how you compose yourself
00:26:57Thank you
00:26:57You could have heard a pin drop then
00:26:59Like you had everyone in the palm of your hand
00:27:01It's not like you've been doing this your whole life
00:27:03This is like the early stages of your career
00:27:07That I mean well done
00:27:08I don't know what else to say
00:27:10Thank you
00:27:10Thank you
00:27:17Firstly I'll just apologize to you Harlan for not standing up I can't stand up
00:27:22I can't stand up because like you've got me pinned
00:27:25Thank you
00:27:27In fascination with your voice
00:27:29That is an incredible instrument
00:27:31And it's all about placement
00:27:33And it's all about your choices
00:27:35And your choices are so clever
00:27:37And yes you might be
00:27:39The black sheep of your family
00:27:42But you are truly the musician in that family
00:27:45You are something else man
00:27:48Thank you
00:27:50You really
00:27:50I mean you really are something else
00:27:53And you've stayed true all the while
00:27:56And yeah I can't get up because I'm blown away

00:28:11Every time we see you
00:28:12We're always gobsmacked
00:28:14And I never watched that dumb movie
00:28:17You haven't seen that one either
00:28:19Nor do I like that dumb song at all
00:28:21But you owned
00:28:22I've never even heard that song
00:28:24Just so you know
00:28:25Never
00:28:25But you did a great job
00:28:27I didn't matter that I'd never heard it
00:28:29I thought you did a remarkable job
00:28:31Thank you

00:28:34Thank you
00:28:34Thank you guys
00:28:44My goodness
00:28:45You know what my favourite thing is
00:28:47Is when Marsha is watching someone
00:28:50And she thinks
00:28:50They're so amazing
00:28:51She almost looks like she's angry with you
00:28:54I can never tell
00:28:55I'm so scared
00:28:56She looked furious at you
00:28:58Well during that
00:28:58That was insane
00:28:59Thank you
00:29:00How did it feel?
00:29:01Um
00:29:02A couple sound checks
00:29:03I'm like I get to one point
00:29:04I'm like oh my god
00:29:05I'm nearly fainting
00:29:06Because it's like a lot physically
00:29:08Yeah

00:29:22Who literally flew home hours after you catch up
00:29:25And then hit the Oscars stage
00:29:26What was that like meeting him?
00:29:29Um
00:29:30I didn't really know what to expect someone at his level
00:29:33Like he sang with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson
00:29:36Like nearly everyone
00:29:37But he was probably one of the kindest men I've ever met in my entire life
00:29:41He was such a beautiful beautiful man
00:29:43Um
00:29:44And the biggest like note I got from him
00:29:48Was to just lead with kindness and be kind
00:29:50And tune everything else out
00:29:52Really really really beautiful
00:29:53Amazing

00:33:35Where have all the good men gone

00:41:48it go all the time, don't we?
00:41:49Let it go let it go let it go
00:42:11You sound like an angel
00:42:14it. I don't even think I've ever heard an R&B spin on Let It Go before, so it's gonna
00:42:21be new.
00:42:22Slightly risky doing an R&B version of this song.
00:42:27It's a challenge because it's always a risk to switch up such a classic song,
00:42:32especially when it's a Disney ballad pop song. You just don't want to take it too far away from
00:42:39how people remember it. Remember it. And also Miss Silas. And also the fact, yeah, hopefully Silas loves it.
00:42:45I want to make my daughters proud of this performance because they love it and that's ultimately why I'm doing
00:42:50it, is for them.
00:42:52Yeah, I'm definitely more worried about this little girl's judgment than the three judges on the day, to be honest,
00:42:59because she'll be brutal.
00:43:01Oh, you want me to sing it now and you judge? Now I'm nervous.
00:43:05I'm nervous. That's why I'm a little bit scared for this one.
00:43:10Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how she feels about it.
00:43:13Is that thumbs up? Yes.
00:43:18Oh, wow.
00:43:25Let it go, let it go.
00:43:29Oh, I can't hold it back anymore.
00:43:33The snow glows wide on the mountain tonight.
00:43:37Not a footprint to be seen.
00:43:41A kingdom of isolation.
00:43:45And it looks like I'm the king.
00:43:47Oh, the wind is silent like the swirling storm inside.
00:43:57I couldn't keep it in.
00:43:59Heaven knows I've tried.
00:44:03Let it go, let it go, let it go, I can't hold it back anymore.
00:44:11Let it go, let it go.
00:44:14Oh.
00:44:15Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:44:17Cos the cold never bothered me.
00:44:20It's time to see what I can do.
00:44:24To test the limits and break through.
00:44:28No right, no wrong.
00:44:29No rules for me.
00:44:31I'm free and let it go, let it go
00:44:37I can't hold it back anymore
00:44:40Let it go, let it go
00:44:45Turn away and slam the door
00:44:48I don't care what they're gonna say
00:44:53Let the storm rage on, baby, baby
00:44:57Let it go, let it go
00:45:00Let it go, let it go
00:45:04Let it go, let it go
00:45:11Cause the cold never bothered me anyway
00:45:16Yeah, yeah, yeah
00:45:18Let it go, let it go
00:45:48And if you're a likable person, you are so believable, you're so likable, you're such a good guy
00:45:54But you are also a genius
00:45:56That was so good
00:45:59Thank you
00:45:59That's gonna stream off its head
00:46:01Thank you so much
00:46:03Thank you
00:46:30Thank you
00:46:33So good, man
00:46:38Tell me you've heard this song
00:46:39Trey, of course I don't, that's another cartoon rubbish movie that I haven't watched
00:46:46Being a grown man
00:46:48Of course
00:46:49Obviously the song's rubbish as well
00:46:50But your version of it
00:46:52You made it all chocolate
00:46:54And it's beautiful
00:46:55And it's beautiful
00:46:56And ooh
00:46:56With a nougar-y, caramel-y, ooh
00:47:00I was eating that up
00:47:02And that, mate, you're up there with the greatest
00:47:05Like you make every song you sing
00:47:07Like the forbidden
00:47:08Ooh
00:47:10Ooh, I've gone home without me shoes again
00:47:12You know the time
00:47:13You're that bloke
00:47:14That was
00:47:16You're hilarious
00:47:16Very clever, as Amy said
00:47:18Thank you
00:47:18All the kids love that
00:47:19Every stupid little girl with the head
00:47:21They all love it
00:47:23The guy can't be beat
00:47:24Thank you, Carl
00:47:24I need you to stop
00:47:25Thank you
00:47:26Everything was bad
00:47:27Everything
00:47:28Everything
00:47:29Thank you
00:47:30Everything
00:47:31Hi, Ricky
00:47:32The guy that's seen nothing
00:47:34Has all the opinions on the things he's never seen
00:47:36I love it
00:47:37I've never seen any of these rubbish things
00:47:39And I loved every song so far
00:47:41I love it
00:47:41Trey, that was a girl dad
00:47:43Power move if I ever saw one
00:47:46Absolutely
00:47:46My goodness
00:47:50What a cool spin on that song
00:47:52How do you think it went?
00:47:53It was fun
00:47:54It was really fun to put a twist on this song
00:47:56Yeah, I was a little nervous
00:47:57Because it is such a big song
00:47:59You know, it's known in probably the majority of every household
00:48:02Every kid loves that song
00:48:03So yeah, it was scary
00:48:05But I felt good with the performance
00:48:07And I'm happy the judges felt the same way
00:48:09Yeah, we did
00:48:10Yeah, we did
00:48:11Thank you
00:48:12I think all the mums and dads that would have been hearing that song would be so excited to hear
00:48:17it done in a different way
00:48:18Now Trey, your beautiful wife Victoria is here tonight
00:48:21Yes
00:48:21And your gorgeous daughters have had to go to bed
00:48:23They have
00:48:23It's past their bedtime
00:48:24Yeah
00:48:25Yeah
00:48:25But I need to ask you
00:48:27Do you think your biggest critic Silas would have loved that performance?
00:48:32Oh yeah
00:48:33Thumbs up now
00:48:33She would have loved it
00:48:34But her favourite is John
00:48:36So
00:48:38She doesn't care about my performances
00:48:40She just wants to see John at the moment
00:48:42So she saw John and then she went home
00:48:44She looked really comfy
00:48:45She
00:48:46I love that
00:48:46You can't
00:48:47The kids are so honest
00:48:48What do you do?
00:48:49She looked really comfy in this chair
00:48:51I'm a bit worried
00:48:51She really did
00:48:52She really did
00:48:53Watch out
00:48:53Watch out
00:48:55She's coming for your job
00:48:56Trey, it's up to the public now to keep you in the competition

00:50:21And I'm here with her mum Kim who's cheering her on tonight
00:50:25Now Kim
00:50:25When did you realise little Sophie was going to be a big star?
00:50:30From a very young age
00:50:31She's always been a performer
00:50:33She's grown up in a very busy house and she's kept us entertained for years
00:50:39And now I heard that you were the one that convinced her to audition for Idol
00:50:43You must be glad you did that
00:50:44Oh absolutely
00:50:45Yeah?
00:50:46Yes, absolutely
00:50:48Look at her, she's a star

00:50:58There's something in the way, your mum, yeah
00:51:04Oh, that's sweet
00:51:06Oh, that's sweet
00:51:07Oh, that's sweet
00:51:09Oh, that's sweet
00:51:09I'm great, how are you feeling?
00:51:11I'm good
00:51:11Wow
00:51:11And it's movie week
00:51:14Yup
00:51:14Tell me what song you're doing
00:51:15I'm doing Diamonds Are Girls Best Friends
00:51:17Marilyn Monroe
00:51:18One of my favourite songs in the movie, Gentleman Before Blondes
00:51:21Yes
00:51:21Um, iconic
00:51:22Just iconic
00:51:24It really
00:51:24Top 21, Kyle was particularly impressed
00:51:28That was the best stage work I've pretty much ever seen on this show
00:51:32If you're wondering, what do they mean by the whole package?
00:51:35That's what I mean
00:51:35The whole package
00:51:37Kyle saying that I had the best stage work
00:51:38That was such a green light to just let's even do it even more
00:51:43Thank you so much
00:51:45You made it
00:51:46I made it
00:51:47Just to elevate
00:51:49Yeah
00:51:49Your performance
00:51:50How do you feel about two male dancers?
00:51:54Really?
00:51:55Yes
00:51:55Actually?
00:51:56Actually
00:51:57Oh my god, that is like my dream
00:51:59Yeah
00:51:59That's literally my dream
00:52:00We're gonna have to really step up
00:52:02Yup
00:52:02Are you ready for that?
00:52:04Yes
00:52:04There is gonna be a bit more on my plate
00:52:07For this performance
00:52:09You've just gone here
00:52:10Full
00:52:10Yup
00:52:13Tying everything in and making it still sound amazing
00:52:18Because at the end of the day this is a singing show
00:52:20Yeah
00:52:20Then from here you're gonna run left, right, left
00:52:23Oh left, right, left
00:52:24Left, right
00:52:24Left, right
00:52:25Dancing can really get in the way of your vocal work
00:52:27And the breath control
00:52:29And your delivery
00:52:30It is a risk to add all your movement
00:52:33But taking risks
00:52:36Lead to better results
00:52:37Yup
00:52:37So let's just go from the high note just before the dance break
00:52:40Yup, okay
00:52:41Yeah
00:52:41So we got
00:52:43Diamonds
00:52:44Yeah, I think pressure is definitely on for this performance
00:52:48Diamonds
00:52:48I've got a lot to prove to Australia and myself
00:52:52If I could complete that full package and make the top ten
00:52:57It would just be truly a dream come true
00:53:00Diamonds
00:53:15Diamonds
00:53:16Are the girls best friends
00:53:22Are the girls best friends
00:53:22Diamonds
00:53:25The hands may be quite continental
00:53:28But Diamonds are the diamonds
00:53:30are a girl's best friend This may be grand, but I won't pay the
00:53:37rental on your humble flat Or help you at the automats
00:53:42Men grow cold and girls grow old And we all lose our charms in the end
00:53:50A square cut or pear-shaped These rocks don't lose their shape
00:53:54Diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:54:00Since diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:54:09Tiffany
00:54:14Cartier
00:54:16Talk to me Australia
00:54:19Tell me all about it
00:54:22As time rolls on
00:54:25And youth is gone
00:54:26And you can't straighten up
00:54:29When you bend
00:54:31But step back or step knees
00:54:33You'll stare straight at Tiffany's
00:54:36Diamonds
00:54:37Are a
00:54:41Girl's
00:54:42Best
00:54:43Friend
00:54:44And
00:54:45And
00:54:49Now
00:54:51Best
00:54:52Friend
00:55:12Sophie, little Sophie, look at you sparkling away up there.
00:55:17I know, I'm shining.
00:55:17Once again, great to see you.
00:55:19You always do a fabulous job.
00:55:21You are a born entertainer.
00:55:22You look the part.
00:55:23The outfit is spot on.
00:55:25I like the dancing.
00:55:27I like the macho-y or whatever, the men vibe there.
00:55:31That was great.
00:55:32All of the stuff on the screens, great song.
00:55:36And you are a little character.
00:55:39The thing I like about you is that you sort of morph.
00:55:43You forget that it's you.
00:55:44You actually just turn into an actress, a singer, an entertainer.
00:55:49You're doing it all.
00:55:50And I just really want you to stay in the contest.
00:55:53Because you're so good.
00:55:55And you just are very believable.
00:55:56Every time I see you, I just fall into the performance, whatever you're doing.
00:56:00Thank you so much, girl.
00:56:01And I forget that I'm judging.
00:56:02I'm just like, oh, diamonds are right there.
00:56:05And let me tell you, I spent a lot of money on diamonds.
00:56:08A lot.
00:56:09And every girl loves them.
00:56:11You love them.
00:56:12Frost me up.
00:56:14Nice work, hun.
00:56:15Thanks, girl.
00:56:16Oh, yes.
00:56:17We love those diamonds.
00:56:18Girlfriend, I want those boots, okay?
00:56:20Those are some of the best looking.
00:56:22You look fantastic.
00:56:22Oh, are they boots?
00:56:23I thought they were pants.
00:56:23Yeah.
00:56:24No, they're boots.
00:56:25Oh, they were up there.
00:56:26All kind of one big thing, isn't it?
00:56:27Yes, girl.
00:56:27You look fantastic.
00:56:29And your choice in a song as old as that and bringing it into the 21st century.
00:56:35How old is that?
00:56:36Oh, that's great.
00:56:37It's a lot older than you.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:40And that's old.
00:56:41All right?
00:56:42So that was.
00:56:43Because you're so young.
00:56:44Oh, thank you.
00:56:44But, you know, that was Marilyn Monroe.
00:56:46You know, she made that song quite famous.
00:56:49Yeah, you look great and I just like your show business prowess.
00:56:54You know what to do, you know?
00:56:56I mean, just to stand there and just sing and do nothing, uh-uh.
00:56:59But to actually perform, way to go.
00:57:01Well done, Sophie.
00:57:01Thank you so much, Marshall.
00:57:02That means a lot.
00:57:04Thank you all.
00:57:07I know that was like the Marilyn Monroe, but one of my favorite movies of all time is Moulin Rouge.
00:57:13And you were just giving me sateen then.
00:57:15And burlesque.
00:57:16Oh, my God.
00:57:17That was just so slick, Sophie.
00:57:19Thank you so much.
00:57:20I can see like you're like one of these people that you really saw with success.
00:57:26Like once you start hitting your stride, like we're really seeing you in action now.
00:57:30And that is not easy to do.
00:57:33That was like such an amazing performance that you did then so effortlessly with dancers and singing
00:57:41and just being like Kyle said, this character.
00:57:44It's like that's what Australia wants.
00:57:47They don't want anyone boring.
00:57:48They want to see someone who they're like, wow, she's interesting.
00:57:52And you were so interesting.
00:57:55So well done.
00:57:56Thank you all.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:58Thank you so much.
00:57:59Seriously.
00:58:00And my dancers.
00:58:00Wow, Sophie looking like a million bucks up here serving the timeless glamour of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
00:58:11I loved that.
00:58:12And that arrangement was insane.
00:58:14So good.
00:58:15Did you enjoy that?
00:58:15I had a fabulous, amazing time.
00:58:17Of course.
00:58:18How could I not?
00:58:19Oh, my gosh.
00:58:20Look at this opportunity.
00:58:21It's just insane.
00:58:23I'm so grateful.
00:58:23You absolutely took over the stage.
00:58:26You brought everything to that performance.
00:58:28Two backup dancers.
00:58:30I mean, where did you pull them from?
00:58:32A blessing.
00:58:33So cool.
00:58:34How important is it for you to put on a show with all of the bells and whistles?
00:58:38Is that who you want to be?
00:58:40Yeah, I think extra is just so fun.
00:58:43There's no such thing.
00:58:44And I think it is.
00:58:45Like, it's just me.
00:58:45I really want to entertain people.
00:58:47And I think, you know, I have an outgoing personality.
00:58:49And I've been gifted this gift to do this.
00:58:51And that's really how I feel.
00:58:53Yeah.
00:58:54So, yeah, I want to make the most of it, of course.
00:58:55And it's all just to connect with people and entertain them and make their life any easier if I can.
00:59:01I love that.
00:59:02I love that.
00:59:04Well, if you want to see Sophie again next week, you have to vote for her Australia.
00:59:10Text Sophie to the number on the screen to help her lock in a top 10 spot.
00:59:16Make some noise, everybody, for Sophie.
00:59:18Thank you all so much.
00:59:20I love you all.
00:59:21I love you all.
00:59:22Okay.
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:24Sophie is the last to sing.
00:59:26So now our judges have a very important decision to make that will be a total game changer for one
00:59:33of tonight's performers.
00:59:34They'll decide who will skip the public vote and be sent directly into the top 10.
00:59:40An advantage like that at this stage in the competition is invaluable.
00:59:46That decision is coming up on Australian Idol.
00:59:48Don't go anywhere.
00:59:59You're watching Idol, and the judges are currently deciding which of tonight's performers will score the coveted judge save,
01:00:07which will lock one idol into the top 10, skipping the public vote.
01:00:12While they mull over that massive decision, we have got something extra special for you.
01:00:16He is the OG winner of Australian Idol and about to head on a national tour.
01:00:21But before he hits the road, he's stopped by for an exclusive performance with your top 12,
01:00:27singing his ARIA award-winning song, Choir.
01:00:31This is Carl Sebastian.
01:00:38I know it's weird to say this, but I've been thinking about it lately.
01:00:43Reminiscing about us in Vegas, drinking like we're famous.
01:00:46Man, those days were crazy.
01:00:48But your book ran out of pages, and I wish I never waited.
01:00:53To tell you out of all the moments in my life, the ones I got to share with you are
01:00:57probably my favorite.
01:00:58I know you're looking down on us, I'm missing you, bro, I hope you're proud of us.
01:01:03At least I know you made it home, and I know you're not alone.
01:01:08Cause now you're singing in a choir, now you're dancing in a crew.
01:01:13You ain't doing this solo, we all riding with you, boo-boo.
01:01:18No one can put out your fire, nobody feeling your shoes.
01:01:23Cause now you're singing in a choir, we all riding with you, boo-boo.
01:01:29Hey, hey.
01:01:31See, we fill up all our days with working and grinding just to make ends meet.
01:01:36Too busy to call, we'll catch up next week, and then it gets to next week, and we say maybe
01:01:40next week.
01:01:41And then before you know, we are feeling old, asking ourselves, where did my friends go?
01:01:48Don't wait till they go home.
01:01:51Now you're singing in a choir, now you're dancing in a crew.
01:01:55You ain't doing this solo, we all riding with you.
01:02:01Yeah, no one can put out your fire, nobody feeling your shoes.
01:02:05Cause now you're singing in a choir, we all riding with you.
01:02:12Yeah, yeah.
01:02:13Someday I know my friend, I'm gonna see you again.
01:02:17And when I do, you better have a part for me.
01:02:19You sing the melody, and I'll take the harmony.
01:02:24We ain't done making music yet, we got some more short checks.
01:02:27This time we're gonna have about a million voices.
01:02:30Singing, dancing, party in your mansion.
01:02:33Cause now you're singing in a choir, now you're dancing in a crew.
01:02:37You're dancing in a crew.
01:02:39You ain't doing this solo, we all riding with you.
01:02:43Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:02:45Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody.
01:02:47Nobody's feeling your shoes.
01:02:50Nobody's singing in a choir, we all riding with you.
01:02:54Yeah.
01:02:54Now you're singing in a choir, now you're dancing in a crew.
01:02:58You're dancing, you're dancing.
