00:00:15Australian Idol!
00:00:31Hello, I'm Ricky Lee.
00:00:33And I'm Scott Tweedy and this crowd tonight is insane.
00:00:37Wow, what a crowd.
00:00:40Last night we premiered movie week where your idols gave award winning performances with songs from the silver screen.
00:00:47And tonight it's the sequel as more of your idols take centre stage to sing for your votes.
00:00:53Tonight's soundtracks include songs from Pretty Woman, Deadpool, Willy Wonka, Frozen and more.
00:01:00But before we hit play, it's not a movie night without the critics.
00:01:04Let's hear it for your Australian Idol judges!
00:01:13Kyle Sandler!
00:01:16Marsha Hines!
00:01:18And Amy Shark!
00:01:28One more time.
00:01:29Yeah!
00:01:46Woohoo!
00:01:47A very good evening, judges.
00:01:49You all look fantastic tonight.
00:01:51Okay, so here's a little refresh on 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, scoring immunity from the public vote and securing herself a coveted place in the top
00:02:1110.
00:02:11Australia.
00:02:13Oh, 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 and their shot at the top
00:02:3310.
00:02:33Yeah.
00:02:33We 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 Juan Wu.
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.
00:03:13Details are on the screen right now.
00:03:15Thanks to the all new Jaiku J5 EV powering electric idol performances.
00:03:21Now 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 or you can wait until you've seen everyone perform.
00:03:28It is up to you.
00:03:29And don't forget, after everyone has sung, the 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.
00:03:45Alright, Kyle and Marsha.
00:03:46In the wake of today's Oscars, in your opinion, what will make a performance truly Oscar worthy for you?
00:03:52Well, I always think the Oscars are the worst films that 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?
00:04:03Oh.
00:04:04Look, the soundtracks really do make the film.
00:04:07They make the movie, yeah.
00:04:08Like sometimes 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.
00:04:14Amy, 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, you might as well just take a few deep
00:04:25breaths and go for it.
00:04:26For it.
00:04:26You know?
00:04:27Just absolutely go for it.
00:04:28Wise words.
00:04:29Alright, well, let's get into it with our first performance of the night.
00:04:32She's the 22-year-old singing skier from Jindabyne taking on a mega 80s hit from one of the highest
00:04:40grossing 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.
00:05:04You look incredible.
00:05:05It's Xena Warrior Princess.
00:05:07You're a real contender.
00:05:08That was excellent.
00:05:09I mean, my outfit was very silver and metallic.
00:05:12And 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.
00:05:38And I want my performance to be epic.
00:05:42How do you relate to this song?
00:05:44I think there's a couple powers that everyone would want to have.
00:05:48You know, power of like being fearless.
00:05:50Everything.
00:05:51Being 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.
00:06:00Otherwise, 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.
00:06:23I 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 other just feels like a steam train.
00:06:37Yeah.
00:06:38This is full crunch time.
00:06:40It's really difficult.
00:06:42If I don't get this song right, 100% my dreams could be over.
00:06:52Life is a mystery.
00:06:58Everyone must stand alone.
00:07:02I hear you call my name, and it feels like home.
00:07:15When you call my name, it's like a little prayer.
00:07:19I'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 flying.
00:07:40I have no choice.
00:07:43I hear your voice.
00:07:47Heaven 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.
00:07:57You are a mystery.
00:07:58Just like a dream.
00:07:59You are on what you seem.
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.
00:08:20Just like a prayer.
00:08:22Just like a prayer.
00:08:23You 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.
00:08:35No choice.
00:08:35You know I'll take you there.
00:08:38Just like a prayer.
00:08:39No choice.
00:08:40Your voice will take me there.
00:08:44You are a mystery.
00:08:45You know I'll take you there.
00:08:45You know I'll take you there.
00:08:58Yes yes yes!
00:09:01Thank you!
00:09:14Oh, 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 was amazing.
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.
00:10:24Well done.
00:10:24Thank 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, Kesha!
00:10:42So good.
00:10:43Kesha, you've cast a spell over the judges.
00:10:47I'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 because, like,
00:10:53usually when you go to people's barbecues,
00:10:55who, who else, the big boys here,
00:10:56don't like the white plastic chairs?
00:10:59You know, and this desk, I was like, hmm, I'll give it a go.
00:11:01This isn't Timu.
00:11:02This is real stuff.
00:11:04This is real, this is real wood.
00:11:05It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:06It's solid.
00:11:08It must be freedom.
00:11:09Oh, I loved it.
00:11:10It's amazing.
00:11:11Kesha, 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.
00:11:29Like, yeah, I'm obsessed with them.
00:11:32And 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.
00:11:52Yeah.
00:11:52Australia is voting tonight.

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 and share that
00:12:12with 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...

00:12:20Well, if you want to see Kesha in the top ten,
00:12:24you need to vote Australia.

00:14:31You're not the truth.
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.
00:14:41Oh, shit.
00:14:44Grit!
00:14:47Just remembering that timing stuff, okay?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:52There's just a lot going on in my head.

00:19:40Are you used to that?
00:19:42Wow
00:19:43Usually it's the old ladies
00:19:44Screaming
00:19:44It's the old ladies
00:19:45That are usually doing it

00:21:59For tonight's performance
00:22:07So this week it's top 12 week
00:22:09It's movie week
00:22:10I am singing
00:22:11Pure Imagination
00:22:12From Willy Wonka
00:22:13And the Chocolate Factory
00:22:14Today I get the absolute privilege
00:22:17And honour
00:22:18To meet the Josh Groban
00:22:20He sold 35 million albums
00:22:22He's a Grammy nominated artist
00:22:24And Josh has actually covered this song
00:22:26And I really just want to know
00:22:27How he fine tuned
00:22:28And tweaked his version of it
00:22:29Hey
00:22:30Hi how are you
00:22:31Harlan
00:22:31Josh
00:22:32Nice to meet you
00:22:33Yeah
00:22:34First of all congratulations
00:22:35Thank you
00:22:36I've been able to listen to your songs
00:22:37And you just
00:22:37You've got such a magnificent instrument
00:22:39Oh thank you
00:22:39You're so good
00:22:40So this is movie songs
00:22:41Yes
00:22:42Yes yes
00:22:42Oh man
00:22:43I've chosen to sing Pure Imagination
00:22:45Which you've done a wonderful cover of
00:22:46Thank you very much
00:22:47To me the song is just pure nostalgia
00:22:49Takes you back to that place
00:22:50I really want to take a lot of
00:22:52Inspiration from your amazing cover
00:22:54So with this song
00:22:56I like to start it really simple
00:22:58You can grab people's attention
00:23:00With bigness immediately
00:23:01But then that overstays its welcome
00:23:04Yeah
00:23:04And people start to get like
00:23:05Okay my hair's been blown back
00:23:06For a while now
00:23:08Do you want to just sing
00:23:08Just a tiny bit for me
00:23:09Of course
00:23:11Come with me
00:23:14And you'll be
00:23:17In a world of your imagination
00:23:22What are you thinking about
00:23:23When you sing this song?
00:23:25That first initial feeling
00:23:27Of watching that movie
00:23:28Yeah
00:23:29Like when you see the doors
00:23:30Of this massive factory
00:23:31And open
00:23:32Yeah
00:23:32And it's just like that childlike
00:23:34Wonder and just like awe
00:23:36So in fact that joy
00:23:37If you can tap in
00:23:39To that place
00:23:40Then you're golden
00:23:40It's always great
00:23:41To kind of dare
00:23:42To let them lean in
00:23:43Like let them come to you
00:23:44And an audience
00:23:45Just wants to feel this
00:23:47That's really all they want
00:23:49Meeting Josh
00:23:50Was an incredible experience
00:23:52I have a lot of advice now
00:23:54That I can apply
00:23:55To my own performance
00:23:56I really hope
00:23:57I can tap into
00:23:57The feeling of nostalgia
00:23:59You can get all the notes right
00:24:00But the notes don't matter
00:24:01If you don't have the feeling
00:24:13Come with me
00:24:14And you'll be
00:24:17In a world of your 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
00:24:39Travelling in
00:24:43A world of my creation
00:24:45But we'll see
00:24:48You will defy
00:24:52Explanation
00:24:57If you want to view paradise
00:25:01We'll simply look around
00:25:05And view it
00:25:07Anything 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
00:25:32Living there
00:25:35Living there
00:25:36You'll be free
00:25:38If you truly
00:25:44Wish to me
00:25:49Wish to me
00:25:51Wish to me
00:26:02With me
00:26:04Come with me
00:26:08Come with me
00:26:08With me
00:26:10Come with me
00:26:30Well, Harlan, I have no face because you've just melted it off.
00:26:37You are just, I think we're having one of these moments
00:26:44where 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.
00:26:57Like, you 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.
00:27:09I don't know what else to say.
00:27:10Thank you, girl.
00:27:17Firstly, I'll just apologize to you, Harlan, for not standing up.
00:27:21I can't stand up.
00:27:22I can't stand up because, like, you've got me pinned.
00:27:27In fascination with your voice.
00:27:29That is an incredible instrument.
00:27:31And it's all about placement, and it's all about your choices,
00:27:35and your choices are so clever.
00:27:37And, yes, you might be the black sheep of your family,
00:27:42but you are truly the musician in that family.
00:27:45You are something else, man.
00:27:49You really, I 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.
00:27:59That was well done.
00:28:00You're welcome.
00:28:01You're welcome.
00:28:07Harlan, great voice.
00:28:09You're a wonderful performer.
00:28:11Every time we see you, we'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, I've never even heard that song, just so you know.
00:28:25Never.
00:28:25But you did a great job.
00:28:28I didn't matter that I'd never heard it.
00:28:29I thought you did a remarkable job.
00:28:31And I think you owned the night so far.
00:28:33You're the best so far.
00:28:35Thank you, guys.
00:28:45My goodness.
00:28:46You know what my favourite thing is,
00:28:47is when Marsha is watching someone and she thinks they're so amazing,
00:28:51she almost looks like she's angry with you.
00:28:54I can never tell.
00:28:56I'm so scared.
00:28:56She looks furious at you during that.
00:28:58That was insane.
00:29:00How did it feel?
00:29:02A couple of sound checks.
00:29:03I'm like, I get to one point, I'm like, oh, my God,
00:29:05I'm nearly fainting because it's like a lot physically.
00:29:08Yeah.
00:29:08But yeah, it felt good.
00:29:10I'm so grateful to be here and I'm so grateful to be here so young.
00:29:13It's an amazing opportunity.
00:29:14It's amazing.
00:29:15Oh, wow.
00:29:15It's amazing.
00:29:17We're so lucky to have you.
00:29:18My goodness.
00:29:19And you got the chance to meet the Josh Groban who literally flew home hours after you catch
00:29:25up and then hit the Oscars stage.
00:29:26What was that like meeting him?
00:29:29Um, I didn't really know what to expect someone at his level.
00:29:33Like he sang with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, like nearly everyone, but he was probably
00:29:38one of the kindest men I've ever met in my entire life.
00:29:41He was such a beautiful, beautiful man.
00:29:43Um, and the biggest like note I got from him was to just lead with kindness and be kind
00:29:50and tune everything else out.
00:29:52Really, really, really beautiful.
00:29:54Amazing.
00:29:55Well, Josh's new album Cinematic is out on May 8th.
00:29:58His voice is incredible.
00:29:59Go and check it out.
00:30:00And if you want to see Harlan sing again, you have to vote Australia.
00:30:04Text Harlan to get him into the top of ten.
00:30:09Put your hands together for Harlan.
00:30:11Thank you, Josh.
00:30:16After the break, we have got our soul singing Waitress Wanwoo taking on a smash hit from a
00:30:23family favourite classic.
00:30:24It is a good one.
00:30:26And then later tonight, just one idol will get the judge saved, which will secure them a
00:30:31spot in the top ten.
00:30:33That major plot twist is coming up.

00:31:20Well, it's now time for our next performer.
00:31:23She's our soul singer from Melbourne taking on a song from the Shrek movies.
00:31:28This is Wanwoo.
00:31:39Hi, Mama.
00:31:41Hello, beautiful baby.
00:31:44Mama, I was calling you because for Movie Week, the song I'm doing is from Shrek.
00:31:50The Green Man, yeah?
00:31:51Yes, the Green Man.
00:31:53I love everything about Shrek.
00:31:55Like, I wrote an essay about Shrek.
00:31:58So I sound like a mecha nerd.
00:32:00No one's reading it.
00:32:04Yeah, well first get to Australia, yeah.
00:32:07So I'm singing, holding out for a hero.
00:32:09And I was calling you to let you know that you're my hero.
00:32:13And the song is for you.
00:32:16Oh, Mom, don't cry.
00:32:17Oh, Mom.
00:32:21My connection to the song is like, not only is it about Shrek and like him being a hero for
00:32:26Fiona.
00:32:28For me, my mom is my hero.
00:32:31My dad passed away when I was eight.
00:32:32So my mom was literally my mom and dad.
00:32:37Like, she's my idol.
00:32:39I am where I am because of my mom.
00:32:42Oh, my kid, let me cry.
00:32:43I got makeup on.
00:32:46I need a hero.
00:32:48I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:32:52I know your mom was very emotional about your top 21 performance and she's so proud of you.
00:33:00When you were small, we proud of you.
00:33:03That's what we are here for.
00:33:06How do you think you're going to go this week seeing her again?
00:33:11Last week, I got so emotional to see how proud she was.
00:33:14This week, I really don't want to break down in tears and like stop in the middle of my performance.
00:33:19It's like she'll be watching me become everything she sacrificed for me to be.
00:33:23So, it's just going to be a full circle moment.
00:33:26Like, the stakes are high.
00:33:35Where have all the good men gone and where are all the gods?
00:33:41Where's the streetwise Hercules to fight the rising odds?
00:33:47And isn't there a white night upon the fire's deep?
00:33:54Late at night, I touch and I turn and I dream of what I need.
00:34:00I need a hero.
00:34:03I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:34:08He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast and he's gotta be large and alive.
00:34:14I need a hero.
00:34:17I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light.
00:34:21He's gotta be strong and he's gotta be soon and he's gotta be larger than life.
00:34:27Larger than life.
00:34:29Uh, yeah. You ready?
00:34:33Hold up. Yeah.
00:34:34Hold it now, yeah. Hold it now, yeah.
00:34:36Hero is the end of the night-night.
00:34:38Strong fast, he can lodge in the lifeline.
00:34:39If I call, do you think he will buy back?
00:34:41See the mountains in the heavens above, I see the lightning.
00:34:42Thunder and the flood.
00:34:44I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood.
00:34:47Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:49Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:50Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:51Like a fire in my blood.
00:34:51In my blood.
00:34:54I need a hero.
00:34:56I'm holding out for a hero till the end of the night.
00:35:01He's gotta be strong, he's gotta be fast and he's gotta be fresh from life.
00:35:07I need a hero.
00:35:09I'm holding out for a hero till the morning light.
00:35:13He's gotta be sure and he's gotta be soon and he's gotta be larger than life.

00:39:10What do you have to say to your beautiful girl?
00:39:15Well, what is adequate to express because just I'm proud of you
00:39:22You are my hero
00:39:24You are my view
00:39:29You are blessed
00:39:31And I want to tell Australia. Thank you. Thank you to Australia. We are grateful to be part of this
00:39:37country
00:39:39Thank you for giving her a sign to be part of this country
00:39:44Australia, God bless Australia
00:39:47Australia, God bless Australia, and we are happy
00:39:50Wow
00:39:50Thank you my God
00:39:52My goodness
00:39:53God bless you Will
00:39:54Thank you Yasa, you're amazing
00:39:57If you want to see more of our beautiful soul diva one where you have to vote for her Australia
00:40:03get behind her or she could be the one
00:40:05That's cause the judge save a little bit later in the show sending her straight into the top ten
00:40:11But please give it up one more time for one
00:40:20Remember you've got just ten votes use them all on one idol or spread the love across all of your
00:40:27favourites tonight
00:40:29Okay, up next is our young dad Trey taking on wait for it
00:40:34Let it go from frozen
00:40:38This bloke is singing a Disney princess song, but let me tell you it's not what you'll expect stick around
00:40:47You can't miss this
00:40:58Welcome back tonight Hollywood hits meets the idol stage as the top 12 perform for your votes
00:41:05Next to sing is Melbourne dad Trey who does everything for his daughters especially the song he's chosen this week
00:41:21What is it?
00:41:22Do you want to do this?
00:41:23Go like
00:41:26Good job
00:41:27Today is bring daughter to work day
00:41:30Hey little popcorn
00:41:31Oh, thank you very much
00:41:32Drink
00:41:33Thank you very much
00:41:34You can't drink it and eat it now I need to push that one and do this
00:41:39Oh, okay
00:41:39For movie week, I'll be singing let it go from frozen
00:41:42Let it go
00:41:42I have a special connection to let it go
00:41:44It's a family favourite of ours
00:41:46And we sing frozen let it go all the time, don't we
00:41:49Let it go
00:41:50Let it go
00:42:12We're putting a big R&B spin on it
00:42:15I don't even think I've ever heard an R&B spin on let it go before so it's going to
00:42:21be new
00:42:22It's slightly 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
00:42:31Yeah, especially when it's a Disney ballad, you know, pop song
00:42:37You just don't want to take it too far away from how people remember it
00:42:40Remember it and also miss Silas
00:42:42And also the fact, yeah, hopefully Silas loves it
00:42:45I want to make my daughters proud of this performance because they love it
00:42:49And that's ultimately why I'm doing it is for them
00:42:52Yeah, I'm definitely more worried about this little girl's judgment than the three judges on the day
00:42:58To be honest, because she'll be brutal
00:43:03Oh, you want me to sing it now and you judge now nervous
00:43:08That's why I'm a little bit scared for this one
00:43:10Yeah, it's um, it'll be interesting to see how she feels about it
00:43:14Is that thumbs up?
00:43:15Yes
00:43:15Oh
00:43:17Oh, wow
00:43:25Let it go
00:43:26Let it go
00:43:28Let it go
00:43:29Let it go
00:43:29I can't hold it back anymore
00:43:33The snow glows wide on the mountain tonight
00:43:37Not a footprint till we see
00:43:40To the sea
00:43:41To the sea
00:43:51To the sea
00:43:52To the sea
00:44:09A kingdom of isolation
00:44:10Anymore
00:44:10Let it go
00:44:12Let it go
00:44:31Let it go
00:44:43Let it go
00:44:45Let it go
00:45:11Turn away and slam the door
00:45:13The cold never bothered me anyway
00:45:39The cold never bothered me anyway
00:45:43And the only way the country votes for you
00:45:45Is if they believe in you
00:45:48And if you're a likable person
00:45:50You are so believable
00:45:51You're so likable
00:45:53You're such a good guy
00:45:54But you are also a genius
00:45:56That was so good
00:45:59That's going to stream off its head
00:46:01Thank you so much
00:46:03Thank you
00:46:05So good, man
00:46:06Yeah
00:46:07It would be almost impossible
00:46:09For most moms and dads
00:46:12Godparents, grandparents
00:46:13Not to know that song, honey
00:46:15Because when it was all happening
00:46:17I heard it so many times
00:46:19I could kill somebody
00:46:20You know what I mean?
00:46:22But your rendition of that
00:46:24Was just so beautiful, Trey
00:46:26You know
00:46:27And yeah
00:46:28There's nothing much I can say
00:46:29Except I think that was a very, very clever choice on your part
00:46:32Thank you so much, Marcia
00:46:33I appreciate it
00:46:38Tell me you've heard this song
00:46:39Trey
00:46:40Of course
00:46:41I don't
00:46:43That's another cartoon rubbish movie that I haven't watched
00:46:46Of course
00:46:47Being a grown man
00:46:48Obviously the song's rubbish as well
00:46:50But your version of it
00:46:52You made it all chocolate and beautiful and ooh
00:46:56With a nougar-y caramel-y
00:46:59Ooh
00:47:00I was eating that up
00:47:02And that
00:47:03You'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 guy
00:47:13You're that bloke
00:47:15That was
00:47:16You're hilarious
00:47:16Very clever as Amy said
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 big
00:47:24Thank you girl
00:47:24I need you to stop
00:47:25Thank you
00:47:26Everything was bad
00:47:27That was sick
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 has all the opinions on the things he's never seen
00:47:36I love it
00:47:37Yeah
00:47:37That's so true
00:47:38I've never seen any of these rubbish things and I loved every song so far
00:47:41I love it Trey
00:47:42That was a girl dad power move if I ever saw one
00:47:46Absolutely
00:47:47My 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 because it is such a big song
00:47:59You know it's known in probably majority of every household
00:48:02Every kid loves that song so yeah
00:48:04It was scary but I felt good with the performance
00:48:07And I'm happy the judges felt the same way
00:48:09Yeah
00:48:10Yeah we do
00:48:11Thank you
00:48:12I think all the mums and dads that would have been hearing that song would be so excited
00:48:16to hear it 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
00:48:23It's past their bedtime
00:48:24They have
00:48:25But I need to ask you
00:48:27Do you think your biggest critic Silas
00:48:30Oh yeah
00:48:30Would have loved that performance
00:48:31Um
00:48:33Thumbs up now
00:48:33She would have loved it but her favourite is John
00:48:36Oh
00:48:38She doesn't care about my performances
00:48:40She just wants to see John at the moment
00:48:42She saw John and then she went home
00:48:44She looked really comfy
00:48:45I love that
00:48:46You can't
00:48:47The kids they're 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
00:48:52Watch 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
00:48:59Tell Australia why they should vote for you
00:49:02Well I've been working on my craft for a very long time now
00:49:05Um
00:49:06And you know the main reason I just want Australia to you know witness growth
00:49:10I still have a lot to learn
00:49:11Um and I breathe music so it's forever my goal to you know become the greatest version of myself
00:49:17I can be musically and as a human so
00:49:19Oh yeah
00:49:21So
00:49:21That's uh
00:49:22That's what I think about Australia
00:49:23Yeah
00:49:24Marsh has lost it
00:49:27Well another heartfelt performance from Trey
00:49:30And if you think he should stay in the competition
00:49:32Vote for him
00:49:33Right
00:49:34Now
00:49:35Text Trey
00:49:36Thank you
00:49:37To the number on the screen
00:49:38Let's hear it one more time
00:49:40For Trey
00:49:41Thank you so much
00:49:42Thank you Ricky
00:49:42Killed it
00:49:45Up next our model from Melbourne Sophie will bring us glamour, glitter and a whole lot of sparkle
00:49:53When she hits the Idol runway with an iconic hit from a Hollywood legend
00:49:58Plus our judges decide who they'll save from the public vote
00:50:02How's that for a cliffhanger?
00:50:04Australian Idol will be back in just a moment
00:50:16Welcome back to Movie Week on Idol
00:50:18The final singer of the night is our model Sophie
00:50:21And I'm here with her mum Kim who's cheering her on tonight
00:50:25Now Kim, when 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
00:50:36And 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
00:50:48She's a star
00:50:49She's sparkling tonight
00:50:51Well, we are so glad that you did that
00:50:52Alright, well let's see how Sophie, our model from Melbourne, prepared for her performance this week
00:50:59There's something in the world, your mum, yeah
00:51:09I'm great, how are you feeling?
00:51:11I'm good
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 Rear Girls Best Friends
00:51:17Marilyn Monroe
00:51:18One of my favourite songs in the movie, Gentleman Before Blondes
00:51:21Yes
00:51:22Iconic
00:51:23Just iconic
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
00:51:36The whole package
00:51:37Kyle's 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
00:51:51How do you feel about two male dancers?
00:51:54Really?
00:51:55Yes
00:51:55Actually
00:51:56Actually
00:51:57Oh my god
00:51:57That is like my dream
00:51:59Yeah
00:51:59Literally my dream
00:52:01We're gonna have to really step up
00:52:02Yeah
00:52:02Are you ready for that?
00:52:04Yes
00:52:04There is gonna be a bit more on my plate for this performance
00:52:09Are you just going here?
00:52:10Full?
00:52:11Yeah
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
00:52:21Then from here you're gonna run left, right, left
00:52:23Oh left, right, left
00:52:24Left, right
00:52:24So much dancing can really get in the way of your vocal work and the breath control and your delivery
00:52:30It is a risk to add all your movement but taking risks lead to better results
00:52:37Yeah
00:52:37So let's just go from the high note just before the dance break
00:52:40Yeah
00:52:43Yeah
00:52:44Yeah, I think pressure is definitely on for this performance
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
00:53:00Thank you so much for it
00:53:25Thank you!
00:53:30Thank you!
00:53:30are a girl's best friend.
00:53:33The gifts may be grand, but I won't pay the rental
00:53:37on your humble flat, or help you at the automats.
00:53:42Men grow cold, and girls grow old,
00:53:45and we all lose our charms in the end.
00:53:50A square cut or pear-shaped, these rocks
00:53:52don't lose their shape.
00:53:55Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:53:58Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:54:09Tiffany!
00:54:13Cartier!
00:54:16Talk to me, Australia!
00:54:19Tell me all about it!
00:54:22As time rolls on, and youth is gone,
00:54:26and you can't straighten up when you bend.
00:54:31But stiff back or stiff knees, you'll stare straight at Tiffany's
00:54:36Diamonds are a girl's best friend.
00:55:12Sofie!
00:55:13Little Sofie!
00:55:14Look at you sparkling away up there.
00:55:17I know, 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 looked the part.
00:55:23The outfit is spot on.
00:55:25I like the dancing.
00:55:26I like the macho-y, or whatever, the men vibe there.
00:55:31Mm-hmm.
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,
00:55:59whatever you're doing.
00:56:00Thank you so much, Val.
00:56:01And I forget that I'm judging.
00:56:02I'm just like, oh, diamonds are right there, right?
00:56:05And let me tell you, I spent a lot of money on diamonds, a lot.
00:56:09Good.
00:56:09And every girl loves them.
00:56:11Yeah, love them.
00:56:12Frost me up.
00:56:14Nice work, hun.
00:56:15Thanks, Carl.
00:56:16Oh, yes, we love those diamonds.
00:56:18Girlfriend, I want those boots, okay?
00:56:20How come?
00:56:20Those are some of the best looking.
00:56:21You look fantastic.
00:56:22Oh, are they boots?
00:56:23I thought they were pants.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:24No, they're boots.
00:56:25Oh, they were.
00:56:26Yes, girl, you look fantastic.
00:56:29Thank you so much.
00:56:29And your choice in a song as old as that
00:56:33and bringing it into the 21st century.
00:56:35How old is that?
00:56:36Oh, that's...
00:56:37It's a lot older than you.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:39And that's old.
00:56:41Okay.
00:56:42So that was...
00:56:43Because you look so young.
00:56:44Oh, thank you.
00:56:44But, you know, that was Marilyn Monroe, you know.
00:56:47She made that song quite famous.
00:56:49Oh, thank you.
00:56:49Yeah.
00:56:50You look great.
00:56:50And 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.
00:56:58Uh-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 favourite movies of all time is
00:57:12Moulin Rouge.
00:57:13I love this.
00:57:13And you were just giving me sateen then.
00:57:15Burlesque.
00:57:16Oh, my God.
00:57:16Oh, my God.
00:57:17That was just so slick, Sophie.
00:57:19Thank you so much.
00:57:20Like you...
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.
00:57:37So effortlessly with dancers and singing and 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.
00:57:56That was great.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:58Thank you so much.
00:57:59Seriously.
00:58:00And my dancers.
00:58:01Wow.
00:58:03Sophie looking like a million bucks up here serving the timeless glamour of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
00:58:11I loved that and 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.
00:58:24You 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?
00:58:32I know.
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 and I think, you know, I have an outgoing personality and
00:58:49I've been gifted this gift to do this and 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
00:59:00if I can.
00:59:01I love that.
00:59:02I love that.
00:59:02I love that.
00:59:03Yeah.
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
00:59:32for one of 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
01:00:04score the coveted judge save, which will lock one Idol into the top 10, skipping the public
01:00:11vote.
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.
01:00:22But before he hits the road, he's stopped by for an exclusive performance with your top
01:00:2712.
01:00:27Singing his ARIA award-winning song, Choir.
01:00:31This is Carl Sebastian.
01:00:37I 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
01:00:57my favorite.
01:00:58I know you're looking down on us.
01:01:01I'm missing you, bro.
01:01:02Hope you're proud of us.
01:01:03At least I know you made it home.
01:01:06And I know you're not alone.
01:01:07Cause now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:10Now you're dancing in a crew.

01:01:38And then it gets to next week.
01:01:39And we say maybe next week.
01:01:41And then before you know, we are feeling old.
01:01:45Asking ourselves, where did my friends go?
01:01:48Don't wait till they go home.
01:01:51Now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:53Now you're dancing in a crew.
01:01:55You ain't doing this solo.

01:04:16Well I'll be there obviously and my band
01:04:19and look it's 23 years since Idol
01:04:23and what is crazy is that's older than some of those idols in the top 12.
01:04:31But I've been lucky enough to have so much support and that's what this is all about
01:04:35and these guys are experiencing it with all their own fans now.
01:04:38So, thank you for being along for the ride.

01:05:00Oh yeah.
01:05:01Yeah.
01:05:01I was in the bottom two, I think a couple of times.
01:05:04Ooh!
01:05:04And yes, I know.
01:05:06But, you know, a lot of the times you get complacent,
01:05:09you think, oh they're so good they'll get through
01:05:11and then they get out and everyone cries.
01:05:13So, let's save the crying, vote for your favourite, get them through.
01:05:17Absolutely.
01:05:18Guy, it is so good to have you back at home on the idol stage.
01:05:21Give it up one more time for GuySebastian!
01:05:29Of course.
01:05:30Up next, the judges will announce who they'll save from this week's public vote
01:05:35and send directly into the top 10.
01:05:37That moment of truth right after the break.
01:05:47You decide the winner of Australian Idol 2026.
01:05:52They'll win a life-changing $100,000.
01:05:56Hit the red carpet at the ARIA Awards and the TV Week Logie Awards.

01:06:12and score an exclusive package to record new music at Sydney's Hive Sound Studios.
01:06:23What an awesome way to kickstart a career.
01:06:27Okay.
01:06:28All night, your idols have poured their hearts onto the stage.
01:06:33Now, the moment of truth has arrived.
01:06:36The judges have made their impossible choice.
01:06:40Who will they save from the public vote and send straight into the top 10?
01:06:47Yes, Marsha and Kyle.
01:06:49How difficult was tonight's decision?
01:06:51Quite difficult.
01:06:53Yeah.
01:06:53Because tonight, I loved everyone.
01:06:56Buddy, you guys really stepped up.
01:06:58Please, you know, you gotta own that, okay?
01:07:00It's been so impressive how you've changed
01:07:04and how you've taken your notes and how you've just decided,
01:07:07okay, so at this point in time, this is who I am.
01:07:10There's a lot more to come, but gee, I am so impressed.
01:07:14We are very impressed with you guys.
01:07:17Okay, it's time to find out who will be instantly locked into the top 10.
01:07:22All right.
01:07:23Amy, who have the judges decided to send through to the top 10?
01:07:32Seriously, one of the best nights of Idol ever.
01:07:36You guys, like ever.
01:07:38What a night.
01:07:40It was so tough.
01:07:44Really, really tough decision.
01:07:50But this person has a trajectory in this competition that tells us they're far from done.
01:08:03They have connection, emotion, star power.
01:08:12Incredible heart, most importantly, you know.
01:08:15And I think the audience can actually see your hearts.
01:08:19I don't know if you guys are aware of that, but that's what performance is when people actually see.
01:08:25You show who you are.
01:08:26You show who you are.
01:08:26You show who you are.
01:08:28So, the person we are saving.
01:08:43The person going straight through isn't the one or the two.
01:08:49It's the one woo
01:09:03Look what you did to her judges
01:09:09You are safe from this week's elimination and straight into the top ten
01:09:15What do you want to say to the judges?
01:09:16Oh
