00:04:36number one hits i met up with him to get some advice on modernizing classic old songs
00:04:42i'm gonna be remixing i got you by james brown oh it's great i thought i could get some awesome
00:04:48advice from you yeah let's have a listen all right cyril's known for modernizing old classic
00:04:56it's like this part
00:04:59come out
00:05:06we are different like he's a dj i'm a singer but like there's so much stuff we have in common
00:05:11you're an incredible voice a lot of range oh and he's the best of the best so who's better to
00:05:19learn
00:05:19from than the best of the best when i'm making my music i'm always like how will i know that
00:05:24i
00:05:24haven't gone too far from the original old song or push like taking too much of a risk well there's
00:05:31two ways of going first of all when you do it and you see the comments you'll find out off
00:05:35all the fans
00:05:35yeah but the second way is like just the feeling of it isn't like uh stick to what they did
00:05:41before
00:05:41because obviously something they did there was a hit and made millions of people love it make it
00:05:46a rendition by like not changing too much of the song but using new sounds and uh putting a little
00:05:51twist in there some big advice that cyril gave me is he talked about keeping the classic parts of the
00:05:59song so people still have the parts that they love and can connect with well man good luck i think

00:08:38Bro
00:08:40Wow
00:08:42Wow
00:08:44You know Johnny
00:08:45When we met you, you brought joy
00:08:47You were a young kid and I thought look at this kid
00:08:49Probably grew up with his grandparents
00:08:50But fabulous
00:08:52Because that's how you get exposed to these older songs
00:08:55And what you've done
00:08:56And since we saw you on the auditions
00:08:59At least a dozen people
00:09:00Have said I love that Johnny
00:09:02And I thought oh, your name came back to me quite a lot
00:09:05Which is interesting
00:09:06You people that stand out over the audition period
00:09:08Thank you so much
00:09:09And I just thought that was great
00:09:10My friend also manages the estate of James Brown
00:09:14And looks after his music
00:09:15So if you want a proper sample
00:09:16We can, that's a phone call away
00:09:18Yes
00:09:19That was really good
00:09:22That's impressive
00:09:23Thank you so much
00:09:24I can see that touring
00:09:25Like that works
00:09:26That really works
00:09:27Actually it works its ass off
00:09:28That's what that does
00:09:29You know John, you've always been that performer
00:09:33But you've just stepped it up again
00:09:34And you've brought it into, you know
00:09:36Where we are now musically
00:09:38Also you know I talked about this song
00:09:40Because this is one of my favorite songs
00:09:42It was done in 1965
00:09:45Wow
00:09:46James Brown was something
00:09:48I won't swear
00:09:48But he was that
00:09:49And a bag of chips
00:09:51And you did, you did such justice to it
00:09:54And you brought it into the 21st century
00:09:56And from my heart I thank you man
00:09:58Thank you so much
00:09:59Thank you
00:10:01Oh my god
00:10:03Johnny, what a start to the show
00:10:06That was just epic man
00:10:08And you really did pay homage to the OG of the song
00:10:12And I think like you talking to Cyril
00:10:15Like Cyril just does such a great job
00:10:16At finding that balance
00:10:18Yeah
00:10:18You just brought that to life
00:10:20Thank you
00:10:21Like some of the notes you hit
00:10:22And the dance moves
00:10:23And it was just all working
00:10:25You've got a clear lane there dude

00:12:16Thank you
00:12:20Oh what a start to the show
00:12:22Okay our next singer made her mark when she walked into the audition room without a plan
00:12:27Her confidence to sing anything blew the judges away
00:12:31So what exactly has ever got planned this time around?
00:12:36Let's find out
00:12:48Top 30 was intense
00:12:50It was definitely a little bit hard
00:12:52The truth of the matter is
00:12:55You're up against the best of the best
00:12:57You know what I mean?
00:12:58Like you're up against the Taylors and the Sabrinas
00:13:00And it's like you've got to come out there so damn confident
00:13:05I got a bit emotional
00:13:07Yeah, sorry
00:13:09I care about the competition so much
00:13:13I really don't like the feeling of nearly going home
00:13:16Moving forward in the competition
00:13:18I want to be the full package
00:13:20So how's life been?
00:13:22Been insane actually
00:13:24Yeah
00:13:25So I looked at my audition post on Instagram
00:13:27And it has hit 6 million views
00:13:29It's so crazy
00:13:31It's been amazing
00:13:32Yeah, I've just been getting interviews, press
00:13:35Yeah
00:13:36Life changing honestly
00:13:37Awesome
00:13:38And let's talk about this
00:13:40Of course
00:13:41Potential transformation
00:13:42Yes
00:13:42For transformation week
00:13:43I'm going to be levelling up to be a true pop star
00:13:46I need to look, feel and sound like a pop star
00:13:49So just whatever you think will really just make me bold, beautiful
00:13:53Girly but like diva energy, you know
00:13:58Girly with a bit of grit
00:14:00Yeah, girly and grit
00:14:04Awesome
00:14:04This week I've got Man Child by Sabrina Carpenter
00:14:11Wait, when does this stop?
00:14:13Is she getting quick?
00:14:15Did you hear the one, two, three?
00:14:17Yeah
00:14:17Yeah, so as soon as it goes one, two, three
00:14:20I really want to show the judges and the audience that I can be up there with the best of
00:14:25the best
00:14:25Let's go one more time ever just listen to the top
00:14:28Yeah, yeah
00:14:28But so many things are going on in my head
00:14:33Like something sounds off key in a way
00:14:36I don't know, it just feels different
00:14:39Yeah, I'm nervous about my pitch or missing lyrics or missing
00:14:45Yeah, I'm just nervous in general
00:14:47But yeah
00:14:49I put so much pressure on myself
00:14:56Yeah, I'm such a big perfectionist
00:15:00It's stressful
00:15:07Alright, one more go
00:15:11I have to keep going
00:15:13I want this really bad
00:15:20This pop girl has dreamt this moment from a very young age
00:15:25With a strut, extra sparkle and a whole lot of star power
00:15:30From Brisbane
00:15:30This is Eva
00:15:42You said your phone was broken
00:15:45Just forgot to charge it
00:15:47Oh, nothing you're wearing
00:15:49God, I hope it's ironic
00:15:51Did you just say a fish?
00:15:53Didn't know we started
00:15:55Told you so familiar
00:15:57Baby, what do you call it?
00:16:00Stupid
00:16:02Or is it
00:16:04Slow
00:16:07Maybe it's
00:16:08Useless
00:16:10But there's a cue to work, friend
00:16:12I know
00:16:13Man child
00:16:18Why you always call me running for me
00:16:21That's my life
00:16:30Not quite
00:16:40Why you always call me running for me
00:16:46I'm not quite sure
00:16:49No, I'm not quite sure
00:16:51Like you're not quite sure
00:16:53But I'm not quite sure
00:16:53But there's a lot of star
00:16:53And I know
00:16:54I like my men on the link of the text where they choose me
00:16:59I'm not choosing them, they're male
00:17:03Hey, man!
00:17:05And child, are you always coming right into me?
00:17:13And my life, won't you let it in a circle to me?
00:17:24And I like my men on the link of the text
00:17:32While you're always coming, running, taking all my loving from me
00:17:55You know, Eva, your audition was so quite remarkable because when you came in to see us, you asked us
00:18:02what we wanted to hear
00:18:05And you stood there and you executed that incredibly well
00:18:09Thank you
00:18:09You're welcome, how'd this feel?
00:18:11It felt amazing, honestly, I've worked hard and I feel like it's shown a little bit
00:18:17Yeah, I'm so happy my family's here, my friends, and it's been amazing
00:18:21Okay, cool, well done
00:18:27Eva, I agree with Marsha, your audition will be something that we will never forget
00:18:31And you proved to the country just how talented you are
00:18:35And you really are, you are so talented
00:18:38You look incredible, okay?
00:18:39And that was not a bad performance, but Sabrina Carpenter, there is, she already exists
00:18:48And that's all I could kinda see, is I was just seeing so much of her through that
00:18:55And like I've, you know, I sort of said to you before, it's like, I really wanna know who you
00:19:01are
00:19:01Cause I truly do believe you're a talent
00:19:04And like, I just, I just didn't, I just still didn't see you then, that's all
00:19:10May I say something, you know, there's nothing in the world wrong with covering another artist
00:19:16Because that's how we all learn as performers, you know, we learn as we go and we copy
00:19:21But when you're doing something that is so Sabrina, find you in it, Eva
00:19:27Find you, okay? That's all we're really asking
00:19:30We wanna see who you are, okay?
00:19:33Thank you, you're welcome
00:19:37Eva, um, oh, I dropped my pen
00:19:41Um, listen, I think that was great
00:19:44You wanted to show us that, hey, you wanna be a pop star
00:19:47This is the road you would go down, correct?
00:19:49I think so
00:19:49If you win this contest, you can do a pop song, which is exactly what I'm really after
00:19:54Um, I thought it was great
00:19:55I do listen to what Amy and Marsha say
00:19:58And I do understand that
00:19:59But I didn't see that
00:20:00I saw a young beautiful girl picking great songs
00:20:03You executed it really well, you used the stage
00:20:05I think on TV it's gonna be more powerful than it was in the room
00:20:08Cause after Johnny, everyone was so up
00:20:11Yeah
00:20:12And then everyone knows that song, but the energy level was only half
00:20:16So you did a very good job execution wise
00:20:18You know what you can do, you know you've got the ability
00:20:22Get out of your own head
00:20:24Don't overthink it all
00:20:25And when they're saying show us you
00:20:27Just be confident in just letting yourself make some decisions
00:20:33Doesn't always have to be mirror image of other people
00:20:36Yeah, 100%
00:20:37We like you for you, so
00:20:39Sometimes it just takes a big breath to show yourself
00:20:42But we love you, well done, thank you
00:20:45Thank you
00:20:49Ever
00:20:50Sparkling up here, looking beautiful
00:20:52Thank you
00:20:52After the judges comments, how are you feeling?
00:20:54Good, good
00:20:55I know I can still find myself in more songs
00:20:57Yeah
00:20:58I'm still working on that
00:20:59Yeah
00:20:59But yeah, I'm grateful for that
00:21:00Well this is a lifelong dream for you as it is all of our idols
00:21:05What would it mean to you to make it through to the top 12?
00:21:09It would mean everything to make it to top 12
00:21:11Because I know I'm progressing as an artist
00:21:14And that means, yeah, everything to me
00:21:15Alright, well amazing performance
00:21:17Head on over to the lounge
00:21:18And everybody make some noise for Eva
00:21:23We are zeroing in on completing our top 12
00:21:27And Amy's fast pass is still in play
00:21:31Will it go to soul singing waitress Wan Woo?
00:21:37Cheeky cowboy Vince
00:21:39Sydney dancer Lydia
00:21:41Doting dad Trey
00:21:43Or our next performer
00:21:45Central Coast landscaper Kalani
00:21:48Kalani has downed tools
00:21:50And upped the superstar factor to show
00:21:54He deserves a place in the top 12
00:21:56His makeover reveal and performance is after the break
00:22:00So don't go anywhere
00:22:11It's transformation week on Australian Idol
00:22:15And tonight the last four places in the top 12 will be decided
00:22:20For our next singer his original audition of Natalie Imbruglia's Torn has gone global
00:22:26Millions of views, celebrity fans
00:22:29And it's a world away from his life as a landscaper
00:22:33But it's the performance tonight that matters most
00:22:36From the central coast of New South Wales
00:22:39Here's Kalani
00:22:44That was superb
00:22:50Nan, I can't see ya
00:22:52I can't see you
00:22:54You gotta put your face on the camera
00:22:56Okay
00:22:58Here we go
00:22:58Can you see me?
00:23:00Yeah, I can
00:23:01I'm at wardrobe
00:23:01I'm just picking outfits
00:23:03Oh my god
00:23:04Do you reckon you can give me a hand?
00:23:07Yeah
00:23:08Transformation week means levelling up
00:23:10I'm very used to being on site and laying a fluro all the time
00:23:13And I think restyling myself is going to do me a lot of favours
00:23:17I'm about to hit the big stage you know
00:23:19And so once in a lifetime thing I've got to present well
00:23:21No shirt, tattoos out and this top
00:23:26Oh gosh no, no
00:23:28Nan's honesty is brutal but it's correct
00:23:31So I've always got to listen
00:23:34Look at that
00:23:35Look at that
00:23:36No, I like that colour
00:23:37Yeah
00:23:38Yes, I really like that
00:23:39Cool
00:23:39No matter what you're wearing Kalani
00:23:41I can't wait to see you perform
00:23:43I'll be thinking of ya
00:23:44I'll be looking for ya in the crowd
00:23:46I'm really ready to level up and lock in and make this my lifestyle
00:23:50I'm ready to put the tools down and become the musician that I was always meant to be
00:23:55It's the real deal now
00:23:57How you going?
00:23:58How are ya?
00:23:59Great, good to see you
00:24:00Yeah, you too
00:24:01Welcome to Top 21
00:24:03Exciting
00:24:03In my last performance the judges did say that I didn't connect to the audience too much
00:24:08You know, I closed my eyes and I sort of go into my own world
00:24:11My only fear is that because you're so effortless you just need to really work out a way to be
00:24:17like hey all eyes on me
00:24:23My one concern that's getting in the way of me being in the top 12 would be my stage presence
00:24:28at this point
00:24:28There's a little bit of a sway going on
00:24:30Yeah, I think I'm just awkward
00:24:32It's quite distracting when there's just like say a spotlight on you
00:24:36Mm-hmm
00:24:37Stand there
00:24:37Yep
00:24:37Just kind of ground yourself
00:24:39Yeah for this performance I need to give a little bit more of myself in order to
00:24:44To connect with the crowd and the judges
00:24:46Thinking maybe the mic stand what are you thinking?
00:24:48Do you do you want to stand?
00:24:50How about we try it for the next run?
00:24:52Yeah, I'm not sure whether or not to like I'll see how it feels
00:24:55It's my first time using a mic stand on Australian Idol so it's very different
00:24:59It's very important for me to take it to the next level and show the judges that I've leveled up
00:25:05It's their decision whether or not I continue in this competition and I want it bad
00:25:09Feel free to like stand and be well with it
00:25:12Stand your ground
00:25:13The stakes are high for me because music has always been my passion and getting to the top 12 is
00:25:19going to keep the dream alive
00:25:21If I can't connect with the audience it's it's all over
00:25:28He's the shy tradie with an all new confidence
00:25:31He's ditched the flanny for some fresh new threads
00:25:34Nanasu his biggest fan is proudly watching on from the crowd
00:25:38From the central coast of New South Wales
00:25:41It's Kalani
00:25:48It's Kalani
00:25:49So lately I've been wondering
00:25:53Who'll be there to take my place when I'm gone
00:25:59You'll need love to light the shadows on your face
00:26:06And if a greater wave shall fall
00:26:11It'd fall upon us all
00:26:14Then between the sand and stone
00:26:20Won't you make it on you?
00:26:25If I could
00:26:27Then I would
00:26:29I'll go wherever you will go
00:26:34Where up high or down low
00:26:38I'll go wherever you will go
00:26:44Run away with my heart
00:26:48Run away with my hope
00:26:52Run away with my love
00:27:00I know now
00:27:04This quite how
00:27:06My life and love might still go on
00:27:10In your heart
00:27:12In your heart
00:27:14In your mind
00:27:14I'll stay with you
00:27:17For all the time
00:27:19If I could
00:27:20Turn back time
00:27:27I could make you mine
00:27:32And I'll go wherever you will go
00:27:39Oh
00:27:43Wherever you will go
00:27:51Thank you
00:28:08That's such a still, still song Kalani
00:28:11And the amount of heart you just showed in that song was beautiful
00:28:16Thank you
00:28:16You know, I mean you chose something relatively known
00:28:20And you took it to another place
00:28:22And you know, I've been impressed with you since day one
00:28:25You know, and all I'm gonna say to you is make sure you continue to listen to your grandma
00:28:30Always
00:28:31Always
00:28:31Yeah, she's beautiful
00:28:32Ramana is best
00:28:33She does, she does
00:28:34You did a great job Kalani
00:28:36Thank you so much
00:28:36Proud of you
00:28:36I appreciate that
00:28:40Mate
00:28:42That was like a spiritual
00:28:43Sorry Carl
00:28:44I'm gonna have to cut you off for a second
00:28:45Yeah
00:28:46Because I had my first pash to that song
00:28:48And I don't wanna
00:28:49You had your first pash?
00:28:50Pash
00:28:50And I don't wanna give you a pash
00:28:52But I have something else I feel like I wanna give you
00:28:54No
00:28:56Better than a pash
00:28:57I would like to give you my fast pass
00:29:00Oh!
00:29:00Oh!
00:29:03Wow!
00:29:04Holy moly
00:29:08That's insane!
00:29:10Hello!
00:29:14Congratulations!
00:29:16That's wild
00:29:17My goodness
00:29:18Kalani
00:29:18You just received Amy's fast pass
00:29:22You are automatically straight through to the top 12
00:29:26Thank you so much
00:29:28I'm speechless
00:29:29How amazing is that?
00:29:31You're in the top 12
00:29:32Yeah, this is honestly, it means so much
00:29:34Thanks honestly so much to all the support from everyone
00:29:37It's been insane
00:29:38And Amy, that's just, that's you know, all I could've asked for
00:29:42More than I could've asked for
00:29:43Um, I'm stoked to, you know, be this fire in the competition
00:29:46And that is just
00:29:47No, hey, can I just ask a question about the pash?
00:29:50No!
00:29:51Of course mate!
00:29:52Please!
00:29:52No timing!
00:29:53Okay, okay
00:29:54Um, Kalani, your Nana Sue is in the audience tonight
00:29:58Hey Nan, she was up there crying before you'd even performed
00:30:01I am
00:30:01Sue
00:30:03Your grandson's in the top 12, look at him go!
00:30:06Oh, I couldn't be more proud
00:30:07It's wonderful
00:30:08I love you Nan
00:30:09Thank you
00:30:09Hi darling
00:30:10I love you
00:30:11How you going?
00:30:12You're amazing
00:30:12Thank you Nan
00:30:13Absolutely amazing
00:30:14Thank you so much
00:30:15Great to have you
00:30:16Stay true, you're wonderful
00:30:18Always
00:30:18Stay true
00:30:19Thank you
00:30:20Love you
00:30:22So beautiful
00:30:23So beautiful
00:30:24Well Kalani, we cannot wait to see you perform again next week
00:30:29Head over to the lounge and celebrate Australia
00:30:31Thank you so much guys
00:30:32Directly into the top 12
00:30:33Kalani
00:30:39Alright, starting this Sunday the top 12 singers face your votes
00:30:44The power of the public will decide the next Australian Idol
00:30:47But first, tonight's contenders need to join these guys up here
00:30:52Who are already locked into the top 12
00:30:55Our next performer hoping to get there is Melbourne's soul singer Wan Woo
00:31:00Woo
00:31:01Brace yourselves for her incredible transformation and a whole lot of fun
00:31:06Don't go anywhere, Idol is back after this
00:31:21Welcome back to Idol where our singers are fighting to keep their dreams alive
00:31:25If they don't get into the top 12, it is all over
00:31:29Will our next artist survive to sing again next week?
00:31:33She's our soul singer from Melbourne
00:31:35It is Wan Woo
00:31:43What's your name?
00:31:44Wan Woo
00:31:45I thought I was watching a superstar
00:31:47Top 21
00:31:51Top 21 Australian Idol
00:31:53Oh my lord
00:31:54Yeah, 21, flip it around
00:31:56Wan Woo for the 1-2, get me in the top 12
00:31:59It's kind of surreal that I'm here right now
00:32:01Yesterday I was just working
00:32:03And today I'm about to perform on one of the biggest stages in Australia
00:32:07I need to do some vocal warm-ups
00:32:09I feel like I've yelled too much
00:32:11I've been doing a lot of vocal work, a lot of vocal prep
00:32:13I've worked on my pitch
00:32:16Which was a really big note that I kept on getting from the judges
00:32:23I really do think I'm annoying the neighbours
00:32:29My song this week is Only Girl in the World by Rihanna
00:32:32But for Transformation Week
00:32:34I also will be adding a little something extra
00:32:36Little babe I drive you crazy wondering why
00:32:39A little bit more spice
00:32:40Only one who doesn't rap
00:32:42Yes, that's one
00:32:43I've come up with a little bit of a rap
00:32:45Like, the judges have never really heard me rap
00:32:48So, that is my transformation
00:32:50Oh!
00:32:51Stop 21!
00:32:52Weak, you're ready for me!
00:32:54Okay
00:32:54Make me the only girl in the world
00:32:58The only girl in the world
00:33:01Towards the end
00:33:03I just think your voice was just losing a bit of steam
00:33:05Damn
00:33:06You can add new elements
00:33:07But that's gonna take energy
00:33:08I just don't want you to lose
00:33:10What I already have
00:33:11Yeah, what you have
00:33:12And why you're here
00:33:13Yeah
00:33:15If I'm adding in a new element
00:33:16I can't like the flaking in certain parts
00:33:19Singing, rapping
00:33:21Everything needs to mesh
00:33:23And I need to be cautious about my stamina
00:33:26I just want all of the elements to come together
00:33:28Yeah
00:33:28I don't want to taste every single flavour
00:33:30I want it to be a blend
00:33:32Yeah
00:33:33Oh my gosh
00:33:34It's a bit more daunting than you think it'll be
00:33:41Yeah
00:33:42Transformation Week asked her to switch things up
00:33:45And she has delivered
00:33:47Her proud family is cheering her on
00:33:50Especially Mum Yasser
00:33:51Looking like an absolute star
00:33:54From Melbourne Victoria
00:33:55It's Wan Wu

00:35:52Like I'm the only girl in the world
00:36:15Soak it all in, we were, soak it all in.
00:36:18Hey, that really top level performance.
00:36:22You're always good, always, and you came out with your little sassy midriff and the skirt
00:36:28that looks like the lint collection out of my dryer.
00:36:32It's a great look.
00:36:33You sound brilliant.
00:36:36There's no notes on the, and the thing I love the best about you is you're so confident
00:36:40and naturally gifted that when you strut around the stage, you don't have to think.
00:36:45You're doing, you're touching everyone's hands.
00:36:47You're not choreographed.
00:36:48You're just doing it, and that's what superstars do, baby.
00:36:51Welcome.
00:36:51It's excellent.
00:36:59One more.
00:37:00The whole thing about this industry, honey, it's attitude, and you have got that in spades.
00:37:07You are all over this, you know?
00:37:09You walked out, and I know it's difficult to sort of acknowledge the audience and sing
00:37:15and do Australian Idol because it's really your first big one, right?
00:37:19You did so well, honey.
00:37:20You did so well.
00:37:21It's all about attitude.
00:37:24I'm proud of you.
00:37:26You are.
00:37:28One, I agree with these guys, but you just made that look so effortless, and that's what
00:37:32we want to see.
00:37:33We want everyone to just keep going up and up and up.
00:37:35And like what Kyle said, you walked around the stage, and it's like, oh, I'm here.
00:37:39Oh, look, and there's the camera.
00:37:40It's like, it's just so, you're just so meant to be up there.
00:37:44You've got this, your own genre.
00:37:46And like what Marsha said, a lot of what this is, is personality, right?
00:37:51That's what wins fans.
00:37:52That's why people wake up in the morning, and they're like, you know what?
00:37:55I want to watch Wanwoo's Instagram story.
00:37:57That's what you need to get.
00:37:58And I would, I'm all in.
00:38:01You are fantastic.
00:38:02Yep.
00:38:07Woo!
00:38:09Woo!
00:38:09Wanwoo!
00:38:10Woo!
00:38:11Woo!
00:38:12Girl, Wanwoo!
00:38:13How was that for you?
00:38:14Oh, my gosh.
00:38:15How was that for you?
00:38:16It just rhymed.
00:38:17What the hellie?
00:38:19What the hellie?
00:38:20What the hellie?
00:38:20Oh, my lordy lord.
00:38:22That was absolutely insane.
00:38:24Mama, Papa, my entire Zawa family, I thank you all because I'm in a place.
00:38:30Yeah!
00:38:31You see what I can do?
00:38:33You see what I can do?
00:38:36You see what I can do?
00:38:38It is a whole vibe in here.
00:38:40Watching tonight is your mum, Yasa.
00:38:42You must be so proud.
00:38:44So proud.
00:38:45So proud of you, baby girl.
00:38:47You started when you were small, and I'm proud of you.
00:38:50You're so courageous.
00:38:51You're strong.
00:38:52You're hardworking.
00:38:53You're passionate.
00:38:54We're proud of you.
00:38:56That's what we are here for.
00:38:58Thank you so much.
00:39:04Wanwu.
00:39:04Wanwu, you have such a unique name.
00:39:07Do you just want to remind everyone how to say it properly?
00:39:10It's Wanwu.
00:39:11That's Wanwu.
00:39:12Wanwu for the Wanwu!
00:39:14Wanwu for the Wanwu!
00:39:14Wanwu for the Wanwu!
00:39:19Wanwu for the Wanwu!
00:39:27Oh!
00:39:28Yeah!
00:39:30We will find out very soon.
00:39:32Make some noise for Wanwu!
00:39:38How can you not smile at that?
00:39:40Okay, only a handful of singers to go.
00:39:43Then the judges will announce who will live to sing another day at next week's live shows.
00:39:48So far, we've got John, Eva, Kalani and Wanwu.
00:39:52Wanwu, they've performed.
00:39:53But just ahead, it's our cheeky country singer from the Hawkesbury region in New South Wales.
00:39:59He's taking on a global chart topper.
00:40:02That is going to get this place pumping.
00:40:05Idle will be back in a moment.
00:40:18Welcome back to Transformation Week on Idle where it's been a big week for our singers.
00:40:24And it's been a big day for you too, Amy.
00:40:27Your new song just dropped.
00:40:29Tell everyone what it's called.
00:40:31Uh, it's called The Biggest Dick.
00:40:35Sorry, what?
00:40:36It's called The Biggest Dick.
00:40:38What?
00:40:39The Biggest what?
00:40:39It's called The Biggest Dick.
00:40:41Okay, well, you can stream Amy's new track, what she said, right now.
00:40:48I resonate with that song.
00:40:48Kyle, you have to check it out.
00:40:50Not that, the song.
00:40:52It's called The Biggest Kyle.
00:40:53I'm just going to keep on moving.
00:40:55This is the last night of Transformation Week.
00:40:57And as the show goes on, the bar keeps rising.
00:41:01What?
00:41:01And so does the pressure.
00:41:04With Amy's Fast Parts being awarded to Kalani, there are only three precious spots left in
00:41:10next week's Top 12.
00:41:11Hoping to be there is our country singer from regional New South Wales, Vince.
00:41:22You're just so cheeky and so cute.
00:41:28Oh, thank you, darling.
00:41:33Oh, mother's necked up.
00:41:36Yeah, this week I'm singing a bar song by Shaboosie.
00:41:39Yeah, I did take this song from a pub song to something that is worthy to be on The Old
00:41:44Estate.
00:41:44The judges are not just looking for a transformation of looks.
00:41:48It's also the voice.
00:41:50There's still so much work to do.
00:41:54The vocals just aren't there.
00:41:57The criticism has been good and I've taken everything on, that's for sure.
00:42:01I have been practising my Top 21 song everywhere.
00:42:05We are in the car, we're at the pub, we're at work, we're in the shower, literally everywhere.
00:42:13Hey, beautiful.
00:42:14How are you going?
00:42:15How are you feeling?
00:42:16Good.
00:42:17Excited.
00:42:17Good to be back on stage.
00:42:24It's not easy to sing and dance, is it?
00:42:26No, it's not.
00:42:27It's too thought.
00:42:28I'm a male.
00:42:29Males don't multitask.
00:42:30I'm trying to follow along but I lost my way.
00:42:34Honestly, you're going great on that and back and then on the B you're meant to shake tush.
00:42:39Anyways.
00:42:40I love it.
00:42:40I love it.
00:42:41I love that you're just bringing all the elements to just remember at the end of the day.
00:42:44The judges and I guess Australia want to see what you've been working on, the improvement.
00:42:50Yeah.
00:42:50And your vocals.
00:42:51So I feel like the vocals are just better.
00:42:53The end part, those vocals just kind of drifted off.
00:42:56Yeah.
00:42:56Like I totally forgot I was sitting.
00:42:58Because I kind of just drifted.
00:42:59I could definitely hear myself drift off.
00:43:00There you go.
00:43:00We don't want that for you.
00:43:01No.
00:43:02There is a worry that I might let the vocals slip because of how much I entertain and how
00:43:06much I move around.
00:43:07Alright, answer me pants.
00:43:11There's lots of proofs to the judges and I want to show them that I'm not going anywhere.
00:43:18Here's the top 21 league.
00:43:23Looking every bit the country idle and hoping to impress the judges.
00:43:28He's our cheeky cowboy, but tonight he means business.
00:43:33Hold on to your hats Australia.
00:43:35This is Vince.
00:43:44Let's have some fun.
00:43:48My baby won a Birkin.
00:43:51She's been telling me all night long.
00:43:55Gasoline and groceries.
00:43:57The list goes on and on.
00:44:00This nine to five ain't working.
00:44:03Why the hell do I work so hard?
00:44:06Can't worry about my problems.
00:44:08I can take them when I'm gone.
00:44:12One, it comes to two, to the three, to the four.
00:44:15Tell them bring another round, we need plenty more.
00:44:18Two, stepping on the table, she don't need a dance floor.
00:44:21Oh my, good lord.
00:44:24Someone pull me up a double shot of this.
00:44:26They know me and Jack Dana's got a history.
00:44:29There's a party downtown on Fifth Street.
00:44:32Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:44:38Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:44:44Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:44:46Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:44:46One, here comes to two, to the three, to the four.
00:44:50When it's less cold, they kick us out the door.
00:44:53Skin and kind of lay, but the ladies want some more.
00:44:56Oh my, good lord.
00:44:58All right, let's try it now.
00:44:59Here we go.
00:44:59Over to give it now.
00:45:01Someone pull me up a double shot of whiskey.
00:45:04They know me and Jack Dana's got a history.
00:45:07There's a party downtown on Fifth Street.
00:45:10Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:45:12Someone pull me up a double shot of whiskey.
00:45:16They know me and Jack Dana's got a history.
00:45:18There's a party downtown on Fifth Street.
00:45:22Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:45:24Ooh, yeah.
00:45:27Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:45:30Yeah, yeah.
00:45:32Everybody at the bar getting tipsy.
00:45:55You know, like I said from the get-go, Vince, I got my eyes on you.
00:46:00Okay?
00:46:01I'm on you tonight, Marsha.
00:46:02Well, thank you so much.
00:46:04You look, you know, you came out with that really great country and western swagger,
00:46:08which I just adore.
00:46:09And it's just such a good look.
00:46:11And look, I think you did the best you could.
00:46:14And I got a question at harmonica though, my brother.
00:46:17You know, because, yeah.
00:46:19You don't like a man blowing an organ that doesn't get it off for you?
00:46:23With his thumb down there where his junk is.
00:46:28Yeah, I was trying to find it a bit now.
00:46:29I liked it.
00:46:30Where is this thing?
00:46:32It was like seven different people on stage.
00:46:34I heard seven different voices.
00:46:37Like that.
00:46:38And then you were high and you were low.
00:46:39You were doing a whole band.
00:46:40You are entertaining.
00:46:42My brother works on iHeartCountry Australia.
00:46:46Loves country music.
00:46:47Tori Dark, another person on the country music circuit in Australia.
00:46:51She loves you.
00:46:52The country music world has exploded because of you two country artists.
00:46:57Yeah, yeah.
00:46:58Now, will you get through?
00:47:00Probably not.
00:47:01But you're loved in that community.
00:47:03You go and talk to everyone.
00:47:05People drag you up on stage at these festivals.
00:47:07Is that true?
00:47:08Yeah, they do.
00:47:08We have an absolute bowl up there.
00:47:10I know Tori.
00:47:11She's a great mentor.
00:47:12Everyone in that music scene, that country music scene, they're so alive.
00:47:17They're so into you guys.
00:47:18It's a real community.
00:47:19And supportive.
00:47:19Yeah, and if it doesn't work out for you here, and let's face it, it's probably not
00:47:22going to.
00:47:23That's alright.
00:47:24I came here to have some fun, mate.
00:47:25You go back to that place that love you and you keep building because you've got a
00:47:29lot of what you need.
00:47:31Yes.
00:47:31But you've just got to shed the stuff that's not you and just keep the stuff that you
00:47:35can pull off.
00:47:36Because you've got skills.
00:47:38You're just a little bit schizophrenic at all.
00:47:40I think you're in this competition where unfortunately, you know, you're up against
00:47:44it.
00:47:44You're up against some voices that this country has never, we never thought we'd find.
00:47:49Like, really incredible stuff.
00:47:52And it does, it's harder for you because you're going on a different lane, you know.
00:47:57You are such a entertainer.
00:48:00You're definitely born to do something spectacular.
00:48:04Thanks, Amy.
00:48:04Like, you're the guy that's like, this place is boring.
00:48:06Let's call Vince.
00:48:07Like, it's, you, you're just, you're such a, that's why you're here.
00:48:11That's why you made it so far.
00:48:13Because that's how, that's how addictive your personality is.
00:48:17Which is so incredible, man.
00:48:19And I think with the vocals, you can work on them.
00:48:22But here, it just pokes out too much just because of what you're up against.
00:48:26I've learned a lot from all these beautiful artists over here, from everyone around me.
00:48:31It's been just an amazing journey.
00:48:32Oh my God, he's going to start crying.
00:48:33I'm not going to start crying.
00:48:35I can hear it in your voice.
00:48:36He's going to, go on.
00:48:36I'm pretty sure you got more tissues out this season than I have.
00:48:40Whoa!
00:48:41Hey, snap!
00:48:41That is cool!
00:48:43I'll give you that, I'll give you that.
00:48:46Yes!
00:48:47Is that you?
00:48:48Nicely done.
00:48:49Nicely done.
00:48:50Nicely done.
00:48:50And I feel like I recognise that dancing and you know why.
00:48:53Because that's how Scotty dances.
00:48:55Who is he?
00:48:56Scotty.
00:48:57That's how Scotty dances.
00:48:59Vince, how was that for you?
00:49:00Oh, it was so much fun.
00:49:01Look, I feel so blessed to be here.
00:49:04It has been an amazing journey.
00:49:05Everyone's support.
00:49:07You know, everyone over here, I have a lot to thank for.
00:49:10Especially Harlan.
00:49:11Honestly, man, thank you so much for the group challenge.
00:49:13So sweet.
00:49:14You helped me get through that, mate.
00:49:16But yeah, no, thank you to everyone and I'm just really happy to be here.
00:49:20You look like you have so much fun up here.
00:49:23And a little birdie told me it's also your birthday today.
00:49:29Yes it is.
00:49:31You turned 26 today.
00:49:33What a way to celebrate your birthday here at Idol.
00:49:36Can I get a happy birthday?
00:49:38Happy birthday!
00:49:40Thank you, everyone.
00:49:41Thank you so much.
00:49:42Well, Vince, one of the top 12 spots could be yours.
00:49:46We will find out at the end of the show.
00:49:48Australia, this is Vince.
00:49:51Thank you, guys.
00:49:57After the break, it's the singer who auditioned for Idol at the top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge tonight.
00:50:04She's performing a red hot track by Australian Idol royalty, Jessica Malboy.
00:50:10Will she score one of the last spots in the top 12?
00:50:14Lydia is up next and you cannot miss it.
00:50:27Australia, we are coming to the pointy end of our transformation week.
00:50:33Just two singers left to perform then.
00:50:35Decisions must be made.
00:50:37Who will make it into our top 12?
00:50:40Could it be our next singer who auditioned for Idol at the very top of the Sydney Harbour Bridge?
00:50:46This is Lydia.
00:50:53That's the best you've ever been.
00:50:56Actually smashed it.
00:50:58Am I in the right place?
00:50:59Hi, you are.
00:51:00Hello.
00:51:01How are you?
00:51:02I've been performing on stage my whole life.
00:51:04Dancing, singing.
00:51:05And dancing has taken me around the world.
00:51:09I performed in America.
00:51:11It was just a life-changing experience.
00:51:14Woo!
00:51:14Alright.
00:51:15Let's do it.
00:51:16Yeah, I'm just excited to get on stage and put on an amazing performance.
00:51:21What song are you singing?
00:51:22I am singing Burned by Jessica Malboy.
00:51:25It's top 21.
00:51:27The stakes are high.
00:51:28We've got to lock in.
00:51:32Look what you did to me!
00:51:37You a dancer?
00:51:38Yes.
00:51:39Can you use the dancing a bit more?
00:51:41That's what you have in this competition.
00:51:44Yeah.
00:51:44It's different to everybody else.
00:51:45I wanted to do a bit more, but then I just kind of got stuck there.
00:51:48Okay.
00:51:49It's a big scene too.
00:51:50It's a big scene.
00:51:51That's why I was scared to do some Kori, because I'm like, I need to breathe.
00:51:55My biggest concern is I'm up here to Flop 30 week.
00:52:02I can find singing and dancing and it didn't go well.
00:52:05Can't get you out of my head.
00:52:08You are all so much better than that.
00:52:12When you are singing.
00:52:13singing move to the notes or don't do it at all don't do it i know that that you're trying
00:52:23to
00:52:23find that balance to not lose the vocal yeah i think you need to push it the most important
00:52:28thing is is like it's top 21 we want you to elevate this can't just be good it needs to
00:52:33be
00:52:33next level this is a huge performance and getting the balance of singing and dancing is crucial

01:04:52Trey, fantastic.
01:04:53I knew you were going to sing that song.
01:04:55I was so excited.
01:04:56You nailed it.
01:04:57And the great thing for me is I put that song on when I'm making love too
01:05:00and I never heard the end.
01:05:03It was lovely to hear the end of the song for once.
01:05:07Mate, you deserve to be on a show like this.
01:05:12And you know what I love about you watching those packages?
01:05:14You're not a hero.
01:05:16You're a decent, dedicated human being.
01:05:19And that's the type of person that I want to be on this show.
01:05:23Well done.
01:05:25You know, probably for the first time, you did speak of your wife and the babies,
01:05:32but you actually gave something of yourself, Trey.
01:05:35I'm so pleased that you're a one-man woman.
01:05:38That's very important.
01:05:39But every woman here is looking at you going, yeah.
01:05:44Okay?
01:05:45Even some of the guys are doing that too.
01:05:48You've got to remember, that's who you're working to.
01:05:50You know what I mean?
01:05:51You keep your wife in your heart and soul and your mind and your babies always.
01:05:56But there's such a thing.
01:05:57I mean, I think I'm looking at the sex symbol here.
01:06:00I think you're right.
01:06:01You know, I'm so serious.
01:06:03No, I'm good.
01:06:04No, I'm good.
01:06:04No, I'm good.
01:06:05And I'm taken for it.
01:06:06I'm taken.
01:06:06You two need to calm down.
01:06:07No, but I'm trying to tell you what you need to do to excel.
01:06:12I am so proud of you.
01:06:13You're representing R&B in the best way possible on this show.
01:06:17Thank you, Nash.
01:06:17And thank you.

01:07:43Trey.
01:07:44I just think it's love.
01:07:46R&B is love.
01:07:47I think, you know, with I'll Make Love To You With Boyz To Men, it's such a, it's just
01:07:51the perfect way to put love.
01:07:52It's positive.
01:07:53It's not putting anyone down.
01:07:55It's just the timeless music.
01:07:56So, yeah, that's what I love about R&B.
01:07:58It's timeless.
