02:56Is streaming everywhere right now
02:58And it's officially hit the top ten on iTunes
03:02Amazing!
03:03One of the biggest songs in the country right now
03:08And keep that applause going for our Australian Idol judges
03:12Karl Sanderlund
03:14Marsha Hines
03:15And Amy Sharp
03:18Australia
03:19The votes have been pouring in as you decide who stays in this competition and who leaves for good
03:27I can confirm voting is now closed
03:31And in just moments your verdict will be revealed
03:34This week was all about songs from the movies and our idols delivered blockbuster performances to earn your votes
03:42On Sunday, the first half of your top 12 set the stage ablaze with show-stopping performances
03:48Then last night
03:50The next six idols took to the stage with big bold numbers that captivated the audience
03:56Voting for both heats
04:24Voting for both heats was opened for 24 hours
04:25School teacher Samela
04:29And Jacinta
04:30Our forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh
04:34At the end of the show the judges saved Samela from the public vote for her incredible performance
04:40Of circle of life from the lion king
04:44Let's take a look at how it unfolded on Sunday night
04:48It was lights
04:50It was lights, camera, action
04:51As our first six idols took on the biggest movie anthems of all time
04:57Yeah baby!
04:58It was blockbuster banger after blockbuster banger
05:01Born to the wild
05:05You've got one of those really cool rock voices
05:08I definitely had a much better time this week
05:10And felt a lot more in my element
05:12Turn my breath away
05:14Movie magic filled the stage
05:16You pulled the look off, you pulled the song off
05:19Fantastic, I love you, I love everything about you
05:21I'm living my dream right now
05:23So just having the time of my life
05:25Hey!
05:27Some performances were award winning
05:30I got sunshine on a cloudy day with my girl
05:34Talk about main character energy
05:37It was just so cool to watch
05:41Others were still finding their feet in the spotlight
05:44I think the big notes really tripped you up a bit
05:53I don't know, I thought I actually said it okay
05:55I know Sumber Hearts were not the best
05:57But um
05:59Didn't translate tonight
06:01So yeah
06:07Why the hell it means so much to me
06:10You just didn't seem to be enjoying it
06:12Until you did step off the stage
06:14Yeah
06:14I really think that tonight I did the best I could
06:17But yeah, I mean it's up to everyone else now
06:23But one performance became the star of the night
06:30Big voice, fabulous work, excellent
06:33Earning Samela, the judges say, into the top ten
06:38Congratulations, you're in the top ten
06:42I cannot wait to do more and kill it more
06:45Now it's all in your hands Australia
06:49I really hope Australia voted for me
06:51I really want this
06:52You voted, you decided
06:55Knowing it's up to Australia now
06:57It's a little stressful to hand over the button
07:00That's just the way this business is
07:01You've got to be ready to hit the flow
07:03Oh thanks honey
07:04Don't be ready to hit the flow
07:05Oh now that's not until later that stuff
07:06Cut that out
07:08Who will stay?
07:09I hope I've done enough
07:10I definitely think I sort of stepped up to the next level
07:12Who will go?
07:15I hope Australia have voted for me
07:16I really want to be able to stay in this competition
07:23Oh yeah, so Amy, you and the other judges saved Samela for the public vote
07:27But let's just hope Australia saved their faves too and voted
07:31But today it's St Patrick's Day
07:33So hopefully our idols have the luck of the Irish
07:35The luck of the Irish, Scotty
07:37Little Guinness
07:38Yeah, I think, yeah I hope so
07:42I mean it's terrifying right
07:43We're all a little bit control freaky up here
07:45So to lose all that control and just put it into Australia
07:49I hope they choose well
07:50That's why we're here
07:52Yeah
07:52It's so interesting because this is when Australia
07:54Takes certain people to their hearts and they vote
07:57And it's so important, y'all, to remember
08:00Vote for the person that you dig
08:02Absolutely
08:03Now Kyle
08:04Yes
08:06Kyle, we see on social media
08:08People sharing their thoughts on our idols
08:11But tonight it's the vote that truly matters
08:14Are you excited to see what the Australian public have decided?
08:18Yes, today Ricky
08:18I've got nothing else on my mind
08:20Except for the excitement of the vote
08:21Good
08:22And look at you
08:22I also am dressed like this
08:24Because I have a job interview at Lowe's after the show
08:28Because radio guys, once you're out of radio
08:30All you can do is sell socks at Lowe's
08:32At Lowe's
08:33Noted

08:36I've got to work on it
08:38I've got to work on it
08:39How are you?
08:40Anyway
08:41You can put us
08:42For now, for now
08:43I've got this job
08:44And for now
08:46I still have the other job
08:48Okay

08:50We'll give you an okay reference
08:51Thank you
08:52I might, I might, I might do that
08:53Clock is ticking, I like it
08:55Tick top, tick top, tick top
08:57And Marsha, we are totally live tonight
08:59We are totally live
09:00I mean, it's scary
09:01It's exciting
09:03And
09:03Most importantly
09:05Everyone
09:06I wish you guys all the luck
09:08God bless you
09:08And thank you
09:11Thank you

09:17Oh no, not like your life
09:19Well I will be on my very big head
09:21Please, please do
09:23Now the support for our idols has been insane this year
09:26The amount of comments, likes and shares are bigger than ever
09:30Tonight especially
09:31Social media has been on fire
09:34So make sure you follow us
09:35At Australian Idol
09:36On TikTok, Instagram and Facebook
09:39And join the conversation
09:40Yeah, it is all about the group performance tonight
09:42On Facebook
09:43Mandy from Guy Mia in New South Wales said
09:46She loved the top 12 in double denim
09:48Or the Canadian tuxes
09:49Nice, nice
09:50Thanks for that
09:50Duncan Bear from Instagram said
09:52I just bought their version of All Night Long on iTunes
09:55And I think it's better than the original
09:56Watch out, Lionel Richie
09:58So keep the feedback coming everybody
10:01Love it
10:01Well Ricky, I'm going to head down right now
10:03And check in on our idols who performed on Sunday night show
10:06To see how they're feeling before the verdict is revealed
10:09All right Scotty
10:09All right, we are only moments away from discovering
10:12Who from Sunday night show is safe
10:14And who must sing again to prove they deserve a place in the top 10
10:18Then we reveal which idol will leave the competition for good
10:22The tension continues to build as our idols wait for the decision
10:26Scotty, what's the vibe like down there?
10:29Feels tense down here
10:31Because I'm here with six idols but they performed on Sunday night
10:34But tonight only five will survive
10:37And there's Samella who's our mum and teacher from Adelaide
10:40She got the invaluable judge saved
10:42It must feel pretty good that you know that you're going to the top 10 right?
10:46I feel so incredibly blessed and really lucky
10:49And thank you to the judges for seeing and hearing me
10:52So I'm incredibly grateful
10:54So I'm excited to do it again
10:55Let's do it again
10:58And for the rest of you
11:00Well it's anyone's guess who is safe
11:02And who will be singing for the last time tonight on the idol stage
11:06For you at home, don't go anywhere
11:07We reveal how you voted right after this
11:21We are live and it is result time
11:25Oh yeah
11:26On Sunday night these singers performed for your votes
11:30Tonight their goal is to make it to the top 10
11:33We have five spots available
11:35But one is already taken by the judge safe
11:39And that is the beautiful Samella
11:43The two idols that we reveal as having the lowest votes
11:47Will perform again in the final bid to prove to Australia
11:50Why they deserve a place in the competition
11:53Then one of those two will unfortunately be eliminated
11:58So there is a lot on the line
12:02Okay
12:02It's verdict time
12:04Australia
12:06Let's find out how you voted
12:11We will be calling you up to the stage one at a time

12:33But ultimately it's up to Australia to decide
12:36Tell us how much would it mean to you to be into the top 10

18:42Okay congratulations
18:43Head on over to the lounge
18:44We'll see you next week
18:47Which means Harry

18:52And you are now
18:53In the bottom 2
18:53Come on over here
18:54Lily Grace as well
18:55Harry how are you feeling?
18:57Nervous obviously
18:58But I'm excited
18:59To be able to sing again
19:02Another opportunity
19:03Yeah I know this is not
19:04What you hoped for
19:05But let's just see
19:07How you go
19:07You've got the least amount
19:08Of votes on Sunday night
19:09So you both will be facing
19:11Elimination
19:11So Lily Grace and Harry
19:13It's time for you right now
19:14Head backstage
19:15You're going to get ready
19:17To sing again
19:17For what could be
19:18The last time
19:19Alright you guys
19:20Off you guys go
19:23Amy
19:24Your thoughts
19:25On the public vote
19:27These two in the bottom 2
19:28I mean
19:29It's
19:30It's tough
19:31I look at all of them
19:32And there's
19:33Never anyone
19:34That you think
19:35Could be
19:36Or should be really
19:37Because we've just seen
19:38Such incredible performers
19:40It's sad either way
19:41But I'm really
19:42I'm really happy
19:43That they've got to show Australia
19:44Just what they're capable of
19:46That's why they're here
19:46That's why they made it so far
19:47In the competition
19:48But we get another show guys
19:50Right?
19:50Yeah we do
19:51And the good thing is
19:52That both of those two
19:53Australia has done well
19:54Because both of those two contestants
19:56Were a little shaky
19:58And nervous on stage
19:59Compared to everyone else
20:00So well done to the public
20:02For once
20:02You got it right
20:03There you go
20:04Yeah alright
20:05Well
20:05Some people might disagree
20:07But there you go
20:08Marsha
20:08If they are listening backstage
20:10Right now
20:10Anything to say to Lily Grace
20:12And Harry before they sing again?
20:14Yeah you know what to do
20:15Step up
20:16And this is your moment
20:18Take it
20:19Yeah
20:20Okay
20:21Both Lily Grace and Harry
20:23Face elimination
20:24The tension in the room
20:26Is at an all time high
20:28This will not be easy
20:29For them to perform
20:30No
20:30First to take to the stage though
20:32Is our horse riding country singer
20:34Lily Grace
20:35Her country spins on classic songs
20:37Have impressed the judges
20:39Week after week
20:40But to prove she should stay
20:42In the competition
20:43With a new song
20:44To show off her talents
20:46Singing Sweet Home Alabama
20:48Please welcome
20:50Lily Grace
21:16Big wheels keep on turning
21:20And carry me home
21:22To see my kin
21:23And carry me home
21:25Singing songs about the Southland
21:28Singing songs about the Southland
21:30I miss the whole family once again
21:32I think it's a sin
21:34Come on
21:34Sweet home Alabama
21:39Where the skies are so blue
21:43Sweet home Alabama
21:48Lord I'm coming home to you
21:50One more time
21:51Sweet home Alabama
21:57Where the skies are so blue
22:00Oh well
22:01Sweet home Alabama
22:06But I'm coming home to you
22:09Yes I am
22:21Thank you so much
22:25Wow
22:26Look at you
22:27You're killing it
22:28Every time we see you on stage
22:29You're such a delight
22:30I think you put a lot more
22:31People's radar
22:32On country music as well
22:33I know you're out doing the circuit
22:35There's a lot of great folks out there
22:37And the
22:37The Gympie muster
22:39The Tamworth stuff
22:39There's a lot
22:40If you can go to a festival
22:41See some of these Aussies
22:42Do yourself a favour
22:44And check
22:44That's where she is
22:45That's where you'll be
22:46Keep sailing
22:47If you don't make it through tonight
22:48Babe good luck with everyone
22:49Thank you so much Carl
22:52You know support country
22:53Country is huge
22:54And it's the greatest storytelling
22:56On the planet
22:57And I wish you all the luck Lily Grace
23:00Thank you so much Marshall
23:01Thank you
23:01Yeah
23:03That was the
23:04That was the real Lily Grace
23:05Right there
23:06And you know what
23:07It's a shame that it is a competition
23:09So all eyes are on everything
23:10Um
23:11And that's
23:12That's life
23:13You know when you go through these
23:14Moments that are really emotional
23:16And really hard to get through
23:17And when you become this big Lily Grace star
23:19You'll be able to get away with that
23:21Because you're just gonna have really supportive fans
23:23Just following your every move
23:24But I'm so glad that you just rocked the hell out of that
23:27Because that was that's the real you
23:29That was on point
23:30Thank you so much
23:31I really appreciate that
23:35Lily Grace
23:36She's here
23:37She's here
23:37Don't worry I'm not gonna leave you
23:39Um how do you think that went?
23:41You know I think it went really well
23:42I was kind of just treating that you know
23:44If it is my last performance
23:45Like this stage
23:46This whole place
23:47It's like the most awesome thing
23:49And for a muso to be able to get out here
23:50And sing to a bunch of
23:52Hundreds
23:53Thousands of screaming fans
23:54Like
23:54I just wanted to have fun
23:55And that was my goal for tonight
23:57And I did
23:57So I feel really good
23:58You nailed it
23:59You nailed it
24:00Thank you so much
24:01Give it up
24:01For Lily Grace
24:04Thank you so much everyone
24:07Okay
24:08After the break
24:09Our rock star barber from Ballarat
24:11Harry will perform
24:13And then we will find out
24:14Which one of them
24:15Will be leaving the competition
24:17Tonight
24:18Don't go anywhere
24:19Idol's live verdict show
24:21Will continue
24:22After the break
24:33Welcome back to the Australian Idol
24:36Live verdict show
24:38Before the break
24:39We revealed that Lily Grace
24:40And Harry
24:41Received the fewest votes
24:43From Sunday night's show
24:44Lily Grace performed
24:46What could be
24:47Her final song
24:48On the Idol stage
24:49In a bid to prove
24:50Why she deserves
24:51To be here
24:52Now it's Harry's turn
24:54He's our barber
24:55From Ballarat
24:56He lights up this stage
24:57Every time he performs
24:58On it with his rock repertoire
25:00Taking on a smash hit
25:01Don't look back in anger
25:03From Oasis
25:04Make some noise
25:05Make some noise everybody
25:21For Harry
25:21Becauseà¸à¸°à¹„ร
25:23Let's get unfair
25:33One day
25:36And they're like
25:37In the middle of do
25:40For the first night
25:50I don't know
25:51Take that look from off your face
25:54Cause you ain't never gonna burn my heart out
26:03Though Sally can wait
26:06She knows it's too late as we're walking on by
26:14So slides away
26:18But don't look back in anger
26:21What I heard you say
26:35Um, Harry, I really, really loved your Born to be Wild performance.
26:45It really showcased what you're capable of.
26:47I think the whole information of Bottom 2 has rocked you a little bit.
26:51I could just see your head was somewhere else just then.
26:53But it doesn't matter because everyone knows how epic your voice is
26:57And all the best for tonight, Harry.
26:59Thank you so much, Harry.
27:00Cheers.
27:04Yeah, you know, Harry, as you know, I'm a huge fan of your voice because it's so unusual
27:09And I'm not gonna bother you right now because I know you're nervous and I wish you all the
27:13Good luck.
27:13Thank you so much, Marcia.
27:14Cheers.
27:19You know, without coming across like a creep, you're a really good looking bloke with a very good voice.
27:24You've got a nice swagger about you, but you just look too terrified every time you're up there.
27:30It's like as if you think any second you're gonna implode, but you've got everything that it takes.
27:36You just got to get rid of those nerves.
27:38So wherever you go tonight with your stay or go, at the end of the day, if you do this
27:42for a living,
27:43Just make sure you've got an ironclad contract, my friend, because that's all it boils down to.
27:48Thank you so much, Carl.
27:49Nothing else matters.
27:51You had to feel that, didn't you?
27:53I do.
27:54Speaking from experience there, Carl.
27:56I like it.
27:57Give it up for Harry, everybody.
28:02It's really not easy performing under so much pressure.
28:06And let's welcome back Lily Grace.
28:13All right, you two.
28:15The time has come.
28:19Who is safe?
28:21And who goes home tonight?
28:26Hit the lights.
28:28Let's do this.
28:31Lily Grace and Harry, the moment of truth.
28:35Australia, based on the nationwide vote, you at home had 24 hours to have your say.
28:42You voted.
28:44You decided.
28:46And that saw Lily Grace and Harry sing again for what could be the last time on the Idol stage.
28:52And now, the Idol, safe and into the top ten, is...
29:07Harry!
29:08Harry!
29:10Harry!
29:10Harry!
29:11Harry!
29:13Harry!
29:15Harry!
29:15Harry!
29:15Harry!
29:16Harry!
29:18Harry!
29:20Harry!
29:21Congratulations, Harry.
29:22You are safer for another week.
29:24How does it feel?
29:25You look very relieved.
29:26I'm extremely relieved.
29:28Lily's been such an amazing singer,
29:30so I was so sort of terrified going up against her.
29:34Yeah, I'm obviously happy.
29:35I know I've got a lot more to give.
29:38Yeah, it's been such a great time for us.
29:40You both are so incredibly talented.
29:42For sure, Harry.
29:43Well, congratulations.
29:44You've done it.
29:45You've made it through.
29:46You're officially in the top ten.
29:48Go and celebrate in the lounge, buddy.
29:53Sadly, though, that does mean we say goodbye
29:56to the amazing Lily Grace.
29:59It is such a shame to see you leave this competition.
30:02We have absolutely loved having you with us.
30:05Truly.
30:07Lily Grace, is there anything you'd like to say to Australia?
30:10Yeah, I mean, first I just want to say, like, a huge thank you
30:14to everyone behind the scenes.
30:16Like, you don't see it on TV, you don't see it in the audience,
30:18but, like, everyone is working themselves to the bone.
30:21The backstage, you know, with the crew, the lights.
30:23It's, like, a huge production, and it wouldn't be, you know,
30:26the show that it is without everyone behind the scenes.
30:28So, thank you to everyone that's made, you know, wardrobe hair,
30:31all the people behind the scenes have been amazing.
30:35You know, my mum that supported me through all of this,
30:37all the amazing friends I've made along the way,
30:39and I'm telling you, this is not the end of my musical journey.
30:42It's just the beginning.
30:44Absolutely not.
30:44Keep an eye out for Lily Grace Grant, baby.
30:49What Marcia said, that's Grace right there.
30:51Judges, anything to add before Lily Grace?
30:53And thank you to you guys as well, by the way,
30:54for getting me this far.
30:55It's our pleasure.
30:56It was great to meet you.
30:57We know that you're already on that journey.
30:59Hopefully this lifts your profile, your platform.
31:02You can charge more.
31:03You can do more.
31:04We hopefully, we see you in the future.
31:06You're the one that's been working the whole way through.
31:07You've been doing festivals still,
31:09and ending on that note, what a, like, honestly,
31:12you couldn't have gone out with a bigger bang.
31:13Mum has been slinging it throughout the whole thing as well.
31:14You're out every weekend.
31:15I'm working.
31:16But, you know, I really hope, Lily Grace,
31:18that this lifts your profile and gives you more gigs,
31:21like Kyle just said.
31:23And, look, I look forward to seeing you.
31:25I want to see one of your shows, man.
31:27Thank you so much, Marcia.
31:29I really appreciate that.
31:31Lily Grace, you are one of those people
31:33who just is a true artist.
31:35You come to life in front of a crowd
31:37and on the stage is where you belong.
31:39Thank you so much for bringing your incredible talent to Idol
31:42to share with all of us.
31:44Australia.
31:45Thank you, guys.
31:45Lily Grace's journey is not over,
31:47so please go and hit her up on the socials
31:49and get behind her.
31:51Give it up one more time, everybody, for Lily Grace!
31:54Thank you so much.
31:55Thank you, guys.
31:58Ah, that is a huge loss to the competition.
32:01Our country gal out of it.
32:03It really is.
32:03All right.
32:04Well, that was the outcome of Sunday's show,
32:07but up next, who did you vote to save from last night's show?
32:11Already through to the top ten is Wan-Wu,
32:15who was the judge saved from last night.
32:20But for Kesha, John, Harlan, Trey and Sophie,
32:26you voted and you decided.
32:28And for one of them, sadly, their Idol dream will be over.
32:32Idol's live verdict show continues after the break.
32:46It's the Idol live verdict and we are halfway through tonight's show
32:51and it's getting very tense in here.
32:54Already we've said goodbye to our country singer,
32:56Lily Grace, from Sunday night's show,
32:58but now it's time to find out which two from last night will sing again.
33:03An enormous number of votes have come in
33:06as you fought to save your favourites,
33:08but reality is someone's journey ends tonight.
33:12Last night, there were show-stopping performances
33:15from our Jindabyne singing skier, Kesha.
33:20Fun Breeze, Johnny Jukebox.
33:24And our breezy ballad King, Harlan.
33:29The last Victorian soul singer, Wan-Wu.
33:35Young dad, Trey.
33:38And our model from Melbourne, Sophie.
33:43Let's recap on last night's show.
33:49It was another spectacular night at the movies.
33:58You're a real contender to win this contest, young man.
34:04I was not expecting to make past auditions,
34:07so that comment just blows my mind.
34:10Our final six stars were out in force,
34:14sending one judge wild.
34:16Oh, my God!
34:19Kyle just got up on the judging table.
34:22Like, what? Are you actually joking?
34:24We only just repaired the desk.
34:26Yeah.
34:27And then there were big-screen performances
34:30receiving standing ovation...
34:33You are something else.
34:37...after standing ovations.
34:41You are a born entertainer.
34:43Every time I see you, I forget that I'm judging.
34:45Good!
34:46Let it go, let it go.
34:49Classic hits were reinvented.
34:52You are so believable, but you are also a genius.
34:56That was so good.
35:00But in the end,
35:02One Woo rose to the occasion
35:04with a heroic performance.
35:06I need a hero!
35:08The bar was already here tonight.
35:10You just shot it to the moon.
35:13You did sing that song for your month.
35:16What do you have to say to your beautiful girl?
35:18You are my hero.
35:20Saving our soulful diva
35:22from the viewer's vote.
35:24One Woo.
35:30It's a tough group.
35:31It's very tough.
35:33Everyone's done a really great job and lifted.
35:36Now, Australia, you've voted...
35:39I hope Australia's backed me.
35:41You've decided...
35:43I've so much more to show
35:44and I'm really wanting to give Australia more and more.
35:49Which of our hopefuls will get their Hollywood ending?
35:53My wildest imagination.
35:54I hope that Australia's voted for me
35:56because I really don't want this room to be over.
36:01So many standing ovations last night.
36:05I cannot pick which way this is going to go.
36:07With One Woo scoring the judge save,
36:10she's over in the lounge,
36:11already in the top ten.
36:13CHEERING
36:15For the others, though,
36:17their fate is uncertain.
36:19I have been told that this particular result
36:22came down to just a handful of votes
36:24separating who landed in the bottom two.
36:27So, let's not keep them waiting any longer.
36:34Idols, in no particular order.
36:37When we call your name, come on up.
36:41First up...
36:44Sophie.
36:46Sophie.
36:49Sophie, gorgeous girl.
36:52Last night, you sang Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend.
36:56But it's Australia who has the final say
36:59in who goes into the top ten.
37:01What does it feel like standing here
37:03in this moment right now for you?
37:05I'm laughing because I'm so anxious.
37:08Fair.
37:09But, yeah.
37:10I mean, I'm so grateful to be here
37:12and this is a great opportunity
37:14and, yeah, I'm definitely nervous,
37:15but I'm feeling happy too.
37:17You're amazing.
37:19Sophie, Australia voted
37:20and I can now reveal
37:23that you are
37:31in the bottom two.
37:34I'm sorry.
37:36I'm sorry.
37:37I know.
37:37How do you feel?
37:38It's okay.
37:39I'm okay.
37:39All right?
37:40Yeah, I got to sing, like,
37:41the performance of my dream yesterday, so...
37:43That was incredible.
37:44It really was.
37:45I'm feeling really over the moon
37:45and I'm so grateful
37:46for what this opportunity has come.
37:49I love you guys.
37:50And I'm so grateful
37:51for everyone I've met
37:52and everyone behind the scenes
37:53and the judges, so, yeah.
37:55Well, judges,
37:56what are your thoughts
37:57on Sophie being in the bottom?
37:58Boo, boo, boo.
37:59I don't like that.
38:01We don't like that, do we?
38:02We don't like her in the bottom.
38:03Look, someone's got to be in the bottom,
38:05but this was a tough group.
38:07Everyone did so good.
38:09Normally we can sort of go,
38:10oh, that one's a bit dodged.
38:11That one's a bit...
38:12But this, last night,
38:14that was a big night.
38:15Yeah.
38:15And we couldn't...
38:15Yeah, this will be devastating.
38:16I think last night
38:17was one of the strongest performances
38:19we've ever seen on the show.
38:21And what I love about Sophie
38:22is she executes everything.
38:24She's got the courage,
38:25she's got the voice,
38:26great song choice,
38:27looks amazing,
38:28nails it every night,
38:29but it's just the way of the beast,
38:31isn't it?
38:32It really is.
38:33Well, Sophie,
38:34you are in the danger zone
38:35in the bottom two.
38:37All right.
38:37All right, Sophie.
38:39Next up, everybody,
38:43John.
38:45Come on over here, buddy.
38:48Johnny Jukebox.
38:50Tell us,
38:51how much would it mean to you
38:52to be in the top ten?
38:54It would mean so much.
38:56I've been around these amazing people
38:58for this whole journey so far,
38:59and I can't say how much I've learnt.
39:01Just everyone backstage,
39:02the band,
39:03the singers.
39:04You're all so amazing.
39:05So being in the top ten
39:06would just be the best.
39:08Yeah, well,
39:09you sang Oh Pretty Woman
39:10for your secret crush out there.
39:12And you were so cool about it.
39:14Wherever they are.
39:15So cool about it.
39:16But let's find out
39:17whether Australia
39:18has voted you
39:19into the top ten.
39:21After the nation voted,
39:23I can confirm
39:26that you are
39:31safe.
39:35What's running through
39:36your line right now,
39:37Johnny boy?
39:38Oh, thank you so much
39:40for everyone getting behind me.
39:42I'm so grateful.
39:42I've got more to show.
39:43And just thank you so much,
39:46and let's do it all again.
39:47All right.
39:47Okay.
39:49Congratulations.
39:53Okay, you guys.
39:54It is results time
39:56for
39:59Harlan.
40:03Get on over here,
40:04gorgeous.
40:05Harlan,
40:06you are our ballad king
40:07from Brisbane.
40:09What's your gut
40:10telling you right now?
40:11Safe in the top ten
40:12or in the danger zone?
40:14I've got no bloody clue.
40:16I'm so scared.
40:18But, yeah.
40:19All right.
40:20Well, the judges
40:21enjoyed your performance
40:22of Pure Imagination
40:23from Willy Wonka
40:24and the Chocolate Factory,
40:25as did all of us.
40:27The big question is, though,
40:29did the people at home
40:31enjoy it as much as we did?
40:34Time to discover
40:35how Australia voted.
40:37And Harlan,
40:40you are...
40:41Safe.
40:47Safe?
40:50Yes.
40:51Of course.
40:52Yeah.
40:52How do you feel?
40:53You okay?
40:54You're good?
40:54Laura out.
40:56There you go.
40:57That's it.
40:58I just want to say
40:59thank you to everyone at home.
41:00Thank you to my beautiful family.
41:01They always fly down here

43:06are so loud, come on over here Sophie, oh they are, you've got high boots on, she's got
43:11high boots on everyone, unfortunately Kesha in the high boots, you are joining Sophie
43:17to sing again, perhaps for the laugh, the laugh, the last time, head on backstage you
43:23to and get ready for the performance, good luck, it is ten times ahead for Kesha and Sophie
43:31both receiving the least amount of votes from last night's show, judges, some shocked names
43:37there Kyle, what are you thinking?
43:38Oh we're just having a whinge about that, because those girls are great, but they're all great
43:43and this is just, every week we're going to be whinging about this, I can't believe another
43:47one's gone on, you know, just by the hair of this one, really close, really close this
43:52vote, alright, well facing elimination after the break, each singer will perform a new song
43:58to show off their star potential, both will give it their all, fighting to prove they deserve
44:03to stay, unfortunately tonight marks the end of the road for one of them, their performances
44:07and another devastating elimination is next on the Australian Idol Live Voting Show
44:23You're back with the Australian Idol Live Voting Show, just before the break, we revealed
44:28who you voted to save from last night's show and who landed in the bottom two, unfortunately
44:34for them it was Kesha and Sophie.
44:37They're both fighting for survival and this could be their final performance on the Idol
44:41stage, one will go through to the top ten and the other will go home.
44:46First up to sing is our singing skier Kesha from Jindabyne in New South Wales, she's been
44:52backed by the judges up until this point but now Australia determines her fate. Taking on
44:59the stunning hit Lay Me Down by Sam Smith, make some noise for Kesha!
45:18Go Kesha! Go Kesha! Go Kesha!
45:26Yes, I do, I believe, one day I will be, where I was, right there, right next to you, oh,
45:35and
45:35it's hard, the days just seem so dark, the moon, the stars, and nothing without you told me
45:44not to cry when you were gone. But this feeling's overwhelming, it's much too strong. Can I lay by your
46:03side, next to you?
46:08Ooh, I don't wanna be here if I can't be with you tonight.
46:22I don't wanna be here if I can't be with you tonight.
46:36I love you all, thank you.
46:42You got your best.
46:44Okay.
46:47Kesha, you're one of my favourite girls because you look great, you're that sporting chick, you're from
46:54the mountains, who doesn't love a mountain girl? And that, that silky, beautiful, sexy voice,
47:00that just melts hearts. That was fantastic. You shouldn't be in that bottom two.
47:05No.
47:05You should not be there. Just saying.
47:08Hey, thank you.
47:10Kesha, you know, whatever you sing, you sing with such conviction and your voice has got
47:14great tone and tonality. And like I said before, you can tell you gig. With that voice, you can
47:20tell you gig. Well done, honey. Well done.
47:22Thank you, Marsha. I appreciate you. Thank you.
47:27Don't go. I don't like tonight. Um, tonight is really bad. It's really, I just like, I
47:34watch you in that husky voice and that control and that power and passion. It's like, just,
47:41I mean, you're gonna be fine either way, but it's, it's not over yet, guys. It's not over
47:45yet. So let's just, that was amazing.
47:48Appreciate you, Amy. Thank you. Thank you, everyone.
47:52Chill, Amy. Chill. Just chill. Kesha, that's honestly one of my all-time favourite songs
47:57and that was stunning. How are you feeling after that performance?
48:01I can't stop smiling. I wanted to find a movie that that song was in. I love that song so
48:07much. I love you guys so much. The show. This is the best. I can't stop smiling.
48:15And we love you, don't we? Give it up for Kesha.
48:18Sit on over there, gorgeous. Okay. Shortly, we'll find out if Australia voted Kesha into
48:26the top ten or whether she's headed home. But before that, we need to hear from Sophie.
48:31She is our model from Melbourne who brings glitz and glamour to the idol stage every time
48:38she sings. In a last bid sing-off to show she's worthy of continuing her idol journey, singing
48:44the iconic, what a man. This is Sophie.
49:13Oh, yeah. I get lovin' by the hundred. And I get lovin', yeah, by the pain. Oh, got me through
49:27the camera walk in my sleep.
49:32Made me through the dreams brown. Every time I get on my feet. Listen to me.
49:38What a man, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man. Say it again
49:43now.
49:44What a man, what a man, what a man, what a man, what a mighty good man. Oh, yeah. Oh,
49:51yeah. Oh, yeah. What a man. Oh. And I ain't ashamed to show it. No. What a man, what a
50:01man.
50:01What a man, what a man, what a mighty good, good, good, good, yeah. What a man, what a man,
50:06what a man, what a mighty good, good, good, Mary, yeah.
50:14Thank you all.
50:18Aw, thank you so much, guys.
50:25Oh, my God. What are we gonna do? Walk that walk, Sophie. Let's go. You look stoked.
50:31You look stoked. Come out and do that, under that pressure, knowing, you know, where you're sitting right now, and
50:36you're just, like, giving it that much attitude. It's just, I don't want anyone to go tonight. No.
50:41And it would be a real shame to have you leave. It's just the worst part of this competition.
50:46I agree. Girlfriend, that was great. Thank you.
50:49And sexy. Kyle didn't know what to do with himself, okay?
50:53I didn't know where to look with one of those shots. Only joking on you. Oh, my God.
51:00Fantastic. If you go, that's a real shame. You've been brilliant from the first audition. Yeah.
51:06Maybe we made you come back and do another thing. Yeah, it's a good story.
51:09Yeah, it was great. You were really good. And the guys in my office the other day watched everything that
51:14you've got on YouTube, and they were all about Sophie. Sophie, Sophie, Sophie. Sophie, Sophie.
51:18Hit me up with those guys.
51:24For Sophie.
51:26That was awesome.
51:27And welcome back on Kesha. Wow.
51:30Alright.
51:31Wow.
51:32Get out here, girlfriend.
51:33What is this?
51:34What do we do?
51:34Alright, Kesha and Sophie, we are so honoured to have had you both in the competition.
51:42You're so, so talented.
51:44There's only one thing left to do, though.
51:46Reveal who has secured their place in the top ten, and who must leave the competition for good.
51:52I don't know how this is going to unfold. The moment we've all been dreading is next, when Idol is
51:59back in a moment.
52:02No!
52:13Welcome back to Australian Idol's live verdict. Before the break, our singing skier, Kesha, from Jindabyne, and our model from
52:22Melbourne, Sophie, gave it their all to stay in the competition.
52:25Yeah, they did. And now, it's time to find out who you, Australia, voted into the top ten.
52:33It's crunch time. Hit the lights.
52:40Australia voted for 24 hours. And now, the moment of truth is here.
52:48You alright? You alright, Kyle? I'm just going to clear that throat.
52:51It's upsetting. We don't like this.
52:54Okay.
52:55Alright.
52:55The final singer, into the top ten, is...
53:02Kesha!
53:09Kesha!
53:15Kesha!
53:20Kesha!
53:23Kesha!
53:24Look at her.
53:26Over the moon.
53:27Kesha, come over here.
53:30Congratulations.
53:30Huge congratulations.
53:32You are officially in the top ten. How are you feeling?
53:38Guys, I can't even speak.
53:41Man, Australia, thank you so much. It means the world. As I said before, music is my life. I love
53:46my passion. So thank you. I can't wait. This is something to, you know, work on and enjoy and I'm
53:53going to do that every step of the way. So thank you.
53:55Well, a huge congratulations.
53:57I love you Sophie. You're amazing.
53:58I love you guys.
53:58You get to go over to the lounge now to celebrate. Well done Kesha.
54:02Congratulations.
54:04Oh, so much love. I love this. Sadly though, it does mean we have to say goodbye to the amazing
54:10Sophie. You have given absolutely everything to this competition and we have loved watching you grow and flourish as an
54:17artist.
54:17Sophie, is there anything you'd like to say to Australia right now? Absolutely. Let me talk. I want to back
54:24Lily Grant and everything she said about everything behind the scenes and I'm going to let her say that but
54:27I want to say to people watching and to everyone here who wants to pursue this or is passionate about
54:33anything, you know, I really started taking this seriously last year and to think I'm just here right now is
54:39unbelievable and it's really about yourself. You have to believe yourself first and believe in yourself and love yourself.
54:46Thank you. Absolutely.
54:47Really thank you. And you know, this doesn't be said a lot but I'm really proud of myself and everyone
54:53here and you know, just take that chance because you really never know and if you're passionate, just do it.
54:59Yeah. Absolutely. Beautifully said. Judges, anything you want to add before Sophie leaves the idol stage for good?
55:08Wow. It's just so disappointing.
55:10I hate when the pretty girls that are also talented go.
55:15You took every challenge though, Soph. Like, you really took every challenge and I'm just, I'm really proud of you
55:20and I can't wait to see what you're going to do because I think you're going to do some really
55:22good stuff.
55:22And to see some of the behind the scenes stuff with you guys singing in the stairwell and all this,
55:27it's really good. It's a great energy this year. Best of luck. When you've got a song, let me know
55:32and I'll play it at home on my own record.
55:44Sophie, I really want to say to you thank you so much for the camaraderie that I'm seeing this year
55:49with all the kids. And I just think it's so important because, you know, you come as individuals and then
55:55you find like-minded people that you will, these people will be in your life for a very long time.
56:01And I thank you so much for your contribution.
56:04Thank you all so much. I got to live my dreams on the stage, so thank you all. I appreciate
56:08it.
56:09Sophie, you are a young woman who knows exactly who she is and that is so inspiring. Some people spend
56:15an entire lifetime trying to figure that out. So please don't ever, ever lose that. I cannot wait to see
56:21what you do next. You are an absolute star. I'll be buying tickets to The Sophie Show.
56:26That is for sure. Thank you guys. Make sure you follow Sophie. Keep up to date with her social media.
56:34Keep supporting her music.
56:36One last round of applause, everybody, for Sophie. Love you all, guys. Thank you.
56:41Your star. Well done. And that is a wrap on our first live verdict show.
56:49What a ride, Scott. Your top 12 is now down to a top 10. Let's bring them back out to
56:57the idol stage.
57:01Australia, here is your top 10.
57:07Next week, it is All Aussie Week, where your top 10 take on a playlist of classic Aussie songs. We're
57:15talking John Farnham, Kylie, Tones and I and the Kid Leroy and so many more. It's going to be huge.
