00:00:01Australia, you're calling the shots. Your votes decide it all.
00:00:06It's night two of movie week with more blockbuster performances coming at ya.
00:00:11It's lights, camera, action. This is...
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.
00:08:58Yes!
00:08:59Yes!
00:09:00Yes, yes, yes!
00:09:01Thank you!
00:09:14Thank you, girls.
00:09:20Wow!
00:09:23Oh, my God!
00:09:31I know Marsha is supposed to be speaking first.
00:09:35That was a great start to the show.
00:09:42And doing a Madonna song, everyone knows that.
00:09:46So I was like, oh, everyone's going to compare.
00:09:48And you smashed it, babe.
00:09:50You smashed it.
00:09:53Thank you so much.
00:09:54What about when she just flicked the hand
00:09:57because she knew she had that note coming?
00:09:59It's like we've just been to the Kesha show
00:10:02and now we're just dissecting it.
00:10:03It truly was top level.
00:10:05I loved it.
00:10:06Kesha, you know, 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 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 else, the big boys here,
00:10:57don't like the white plastic chairs?
00:10:59You know, and this desk, I was like...
00:11:01Shows this isn't Timu.
00:11:02I'll give it a go.
00:11:03This is real stuff.
00:11:03It's just 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.
00:11:10Kesha, that was an incredible performance.
00:11:13I mean, it's a dumb question,
00:11:14but how do you think that went?
00:11:16Oh, I mean, I felt great.
00:11:20Like, it's just the crowd, my beautiful,
00:11:22always my beautiful friends and family.
00:11:26Like...
00:11:29Yeah, 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...
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.
00:11:49And, my God, you just knocked it out of the park.

00:14:08Pretty Woman.
00:14:10Walking on by?
00:14:11Yeah.
00:14:12This...
00:14:12Oh, this is so embarrassing.
00:14:14I'm just thinking...
00:14:16Not that anyone should know this, but I'm thinking about my crush.
00:14:20I'm going to start getting red jeepers.
00:14:23Oh, that was so embarrassing.
00:14:25Pretty Woman.
00:14:26Pretty Woman.
00:14:29I don't believe you.
00:14:31You're not the truth.
00:14:32Look as good as me.
00:14:34Yeah, so there's an extra two beats there.
00:14:36Okay.
00:14:37I'm struggling a bit with the timing of this song.
00:14:40It's very tricky.
00:14:41Oh, shit.
00:14:44Grit.
00:14:45Oh.
00:14:46Oh, wow.
00:14:48Just remembering that timing stuff, okay?
00:14:49Yeah.
00:14:52There's just a lot going on in my head.
00:14:53It is so critical for your timing to be exactly on point.
00:14:58If I don't get it right this week, I'll be going home.
00:15:02You're healthy.
00:15:15Pretty woman.
00:15:17I'm walking down the street.
00:15:19Pretty woman.
00:15:21I'm kind of like to meet.
00:15:23Pretty woman.
00:15:26You're not the truth.
00:15:28That's pretty good as me.
00:15:29No one could look as good as you.
00:15:32Yeah.
00:15:38Pretty woman, stop the world
00:15:41Pretty woman, talk the world
00:15:44Pretty woman, give your smile to me

00:16:06Cause I need you, be mine tonight
00:16:16Pretty woman, don't walk on by
00:16:20Pretty woman, don't make me cry
00:16:24Pretty woman, don't walk away
00:16:31It's not the way it must be, oh baby
00:16:37But wait, what do I see?
00:16:43Is she walking back to me?
00:16:49Yeah, she's walking back to me
00:16:54Oh, pretty woman
00:17:19Jukebox Johnny
00:17:22Bro, you've done it again
00:17:24You've made another grandma song
00:17:27An absolute classic for the young, the middle, the old
00:17:31The good thing about you is that everyone knows that song
00:17:34And I mean from our nana's age
00:17:36Nana was getting frisky with grandpa during that
00:17:40There's like, whoa, pretty woman
00:17:42They, this will blow you away
00:17:45But they were doing things that you'll be surprised about
00:17:49When you get older, you'll know
00:17:51That, that is exactly what you need to do
00:17:54You're a joy to watch
00:17:56You bring every old song, you make it modern
00:17:58You make it youthful, you make it powerful

00:18:12Johnny, you are fearless
00:18:15You are funky
00:18:16And you are so on time
00:18:18Because what you're doing is introducing older music
00:18:21To a younger crowd and their dick
00:18:24And what you're doing with it is so cool
00:18:26And look, I just, you're entertaining
00:18:29And that's what it's all about
00:18:30Thank you
00:18:31Thank you
00:18:36I agree with these guys, Johnny
00:18:38You're like, I think you're a genius
00:18:40I think what you have created here is just so smart and fun
00:18:46And I just like wanted to go clubbing
00:18:48And I, I haven't been clubbing in a long time
00:18:51But that, that music is just so, the arrangement
00:18:55And the energy you put into your, to your show
00:18:58Is just, it's addictive man
00:19:00You're always so good
00:19:02I always like see your name and I'm like, yes
00:19:03Johnny's up
00:19:04Yeah
00:19:05Thank you so much
00:19:09Johnny
00:19:11Can I just say, the pitch of the screams in here
00:19:15When you perform are next level
00:19:18It's crazy, that was a huge performance
00:19:20How do you think that went?
00:19:22Oh, it's just, I think it went well
00:19:24But I'm just so happy I can be here
00:19:26I'm treating every performance just like another stepping stone
00:19:30So, yeah, I'm just, it's just so good
00:19:33It was amazing
00:19:34What did you guys think?
00:19:40Are you used to that?
00:19:42Wow
00:19:43Usually it's the old ladies screaming
00:19:44It's the old ladies that are usually doing it
00:19:46They can't scream that loud
00:19:47Now you mentioned in the video that you were singing that for a, a, a crush
00:19:52Do you wanna, um
00:19:54I don't know, maybe spill
00:19:55Who's the pretty woman you've got on your mind, Johnny?
00:19:58What if it's to you?
00:19:59It's not me
00:20:00I can't say on national television
00:20:02You're not gonna say?
00:20:02What if they're watching?
00:20:03Well say, say, just say hello
00:20:04Give a little wink and a little
00:20:05Hello?
00:20:07You've got to do it a bit more cool
00:20:09I've got to be cool now
00:20:09Be cool
00:20:10Everyone just chill
00:20:10Be cool
00:20:11Say hello, be cool, be cool
00:20:12Hey
00:20:15Okay
00:20:16That was the opposite
00:20:18Okay, Johnny
00:20:20Being
00:20:20Oh my gosh
00:20:22I'm gonna have to talk to you a bit later
00:20:23Yeah
00:20:23Being an idol gets you perks, right?
00:20:26Like VIP passes to see pretty woman
00:20:28That was pretty cool

00:20:45Well, Pretty Woman the Musical is touring Perth, Adelaide and Melbourne this year
00:20:49Make sure you check it out, it is amazing
00:20:51Alright Australia, you know what to do
00:20:53If you wanna see John through to the top ten
00:20:56The only way to get him there is to vote
00:20:58Vote
00:20:59Vote
00:20:59Give it up for John
00:21:06Alright, still to make their top 12 debut is Wan Wu, Trey and Melbourne model Sophie
00:21:12But up next, our 18 year old Brizzy boy Harlan
00:21:16Who had some extra help getting ready for this week's performance
00:21:19He met with an A-lister who hit the stage at today's Oscars
00:21:23Just wait until you see who it is
00:21:37Welcome back to Idol, look, it's not movie week without your movie snacks
00:21:42You've got your popcorn, your drinks and you can't forget your Choc Tops
00:21:46And speaking of chocolate, this week Harlan is taking on a song from the iconic movie Willy Wonka and the
00:21:52Chocolate Factory
00:21:53And he had the opportunity to link up with the award winning A-lister Josh Groban to help him prepare
00:22:00for tonight's performance
00:22:07So this week it's top 12 week, it's movie week
00:22:10I am singing Pure Imagination from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
00:22:14Today I get the absolute privilege and honour to meet the Josh Groban
00:22:20He sold 35 million albums, he's a Grammy-nominated artist
00:22:24And Josh has actually covered this song and I really just want to know how he fine-tuned and tweaked
00:22:28his version of it
00:22:29Hey
00:22:30Hi, how are you?
00:22:31Harlan, Josh
00:22:32Nice to meet you
00:22:34First of all, congratulations
00:22:35Thank you
00:22:36I've been able to listen to your songs and you've got such a magnificent instrument
00:22:39Oh, thank you
00:22:39You're so good
00:22:40So this is movie songs
00:22:41Yes, yes, yes
00:22:42Oh man
00:22:43I've chosen to sing Pure Imagination which you've done a wonderful cover of
00:22:46Yes, thank you very much
00:22:47To me the song is just pure nostalgia, it takes you back to that place
00:22:50I really want to take a lot of inspiration from your amazing cover
00:22:54So with this song, I like to start it really simple
00:22:58You can grab people's attention with bigness immediately
00:23:02But then that overstays its welcome
00:23:04Yeah
00:23:04And people start to get like, okay, my hair's been blown back for a while now
00:23:08Do you want to just sing just a tiny bit for me?
00:23:09Of course
00:23:11Come with me
00:23:14And you'll be
00:23:17In a world of your imagination
00:23:22What are you thinking about when you sing this song?
00:23:25That first initial feeling of watching that movie
00:23:28Yeah
00:23:29Like when you see the doors of this massive factory open
00:23:32Yeah, yeah
00:23:32And it's just like that child-like wonder
00:23:35And it's just like awe
00:23:36Yeah
00:23:36That joy
00:23:37If you can tap in to that place, then you're golden
00:23:40It's always great to kind of dare to let them lean in
00:23:43Like let them come to you
00:23:44And an audience just wants to feel this
00:23:47That's really all they want
00:23:49Meeting Josh was an incredible experience
00:23:52I have a lot of advice now that I can apply to my own performance
00:23:56I really hope I can tap in to the feeling of nostalgia
00:23:59You can get all the notes right
00:24:00But the notes don't matter if you don't have the feeling
00:24:11Come with me
00:24:15And you'll be
00:24:17In a world of your imagination
00:24:22Take a look
00:24:26And you'll see
00:24:28Into your imagination
00:24:34We'll begin
00:24:37With a spin
00:24:39Traveling in a world of my creation
00:24:45But we'll see
00:24:48We will defy
00:24:52Explanation
00:24:53Explanation
00:24:57If you want to view paradise
00:25:01It's simply look around
00:25:05And view it
00:25:07Anything you want to do it
00:25:12You want to change the world
00:25:15There's nothing to it
00:25:21There is no life I know
00:25:27To compare with your imagination
00:25:33Living there
00:25:35Living there
00:25:36You'll be free
00:25:38If you truly wish to be
00:25:48Oh, wish to be
00:25:52There is no fear
00:26:03Come with me
00:26:30Well, Harlan, I have no face because you 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.
00:26:57You could have heard a pin drop then.
00:26:59Like, you had everyone in the palm of your hand.
00:27:01It's not like you've been doing this your whole life.
00:27:03This is, like, the early stages of your career.
00:27:07That, I mean, well done.
00:27:09I 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.
00:28:44My goodness.
00:28:46You know what my favourite thing is, is when Marsha is watching someone
00:28:50and she thinks they're so amazing, she almost looks like she's angry with you.
00:28:54I can never tell, I'm so scared.
00:28:56She looked furious at you during that.
00:28:58That was insane.
00:29:00How did it feel?
00:29:01Um, a couple of sound checks.
00:29:03I'm like, I get to one point, I'm like, oh my God, I'm nearly fainting because it's
00:29:06like a lot physically.
00:29:08Yeah.
00:29:08But yeah, it felt good.
00:29:09Um, I'm so grateful to be here and I'm so grateful to be here so young.
00:29:13It's an amazing opportunity.
00:29:14Oh, 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 your 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's saying with Celine Dion, Kelly Clarkson, like nearly everyone.
00:29:37But he was probably one of the kindest men I've ever met in my entire life.
00:29:41He was such a beautiful, beautiful man.
00:29:44Um, 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 10.
00:30:09Put your hands together for Harlan.
00:30:12Thank 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.
00:30:25It is a good one.
00:30:26And then later tonight, just one idol will get The Judge Save, which will secure them a
00:30:31spot in the top 10.
00:30:33That major plot twist is coming up.
00:30:45Welcome back to Australian Idol.
00:30:48It's top 12 week.
00:30:49And to celebrate the launch of the live shows, our idols have recorded and released their very
00:30:54own single.
00:30:55Check it out.
00:30:56All night long.
00:30:59Oh, oh, oh, my.
00:31:02Everyone can meet.
00:31:03They're jamming in the streets.
00:31:05All night long.
00:31:07Yes, you can get All Night Long out on iTunes right now.
00:31:11Search for Australian Idol or check out the QR code on screen.
00:31:15You will see them perform it right here on tomorrow night's live results show.
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, so 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, and I was calling you to let you know that you're
00:32:11my hero, and 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
00:32:26for Fiona, for me, my mom is my hero.
00:32:31My dad passed away when I was eight, so 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, Mom, you can't make me cry.
00:32:43I can't make up all.
00:32:46I need a hero.
00:32:48I'm holding out for a hero to 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.
00:33:00You stand up when you were small, we're 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.
00:33:12Just 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?
00:33:54Later night, I touch and I turn and I dream of what I need.
00:34:01I need a hero.
00:34:03I'm holding out for a hero to the end of the night.
00:34:08He's got to be strong and he's got to be fast and he's got to be large and alive.
00:34:14I need a hero.
00:34:17I'm holding out for a hero to the morning light.
00:34:21He's got to be strong and he's got to be soon and he's got to be larger than life.
00:34:27Larger than life.
00:34:29Uh, yeah.
00:34:31You ready?
00:34:33Hold on.
00:34:34Yeah.
00:34:34Hold it now, yeah.
00:34:35Hold it now, yeah.
00:34:36Hero is the end of the night-night.
00:34:38Strong, fast.
00:34:38He 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.
00:34:42I 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.
00:34:51In my blood.
00:34:54I need a hero.
00:34:56I'm holding out for a hero to the end of the night.
00:35:01He's got to be strong.
00:35:03He's got to be fast and he's got to be fresh from life.
00:35:07I need a hero.
00:35:09I'm holding out for a hero to the morning light.
00:35:13He's got to be sure and he's got to be sure and he's got to be sure and he's got
00:35:18to be larger than life.
00:35:19I need a hero.
00:35:26Thank you!
00:35:27Yeah!
00:35:43Mm-hmm, uh-huh, mm-hmm go ahead one rule, you know, I I think your your mom is your

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 favorite 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
00:41:52Let it go
00:41:52I don't care
00:41:54Fair but sad
00:41:57Some great john
00:41:59You sound like an angel
00:42:01Woo
00:42:05Let it go
00:42:07Let it go
00:42:08Let it go
00:42:08I can't hold it back anymore
00:42:12We're putting a big R&B spin on it
00:42:14I don't even think I've ever heard an R&B spin on let it go before so it's gonna be
00:42:21new
00:42:22It's slightly risky doing an R&B version of this song
00:42:26Yeah
00:42:27It's a challenge because it's always a risk to switch up such a classic song
00:42:31Yeah
00:42:32Especially when it's a Disney ballad pop song
00:42:36You just don't want to take it too far away from how people remember it
00:42:40Remember it
00:42:41And also miss Silas
00:42:42And also the fact yeah
00:42:43Hopefully 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 to be honest
00:42:59Because I know she'll be brutal
00:43:03Oh you want me to sing it now and you judge
00:43:05Now I'm 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
00:43:13Is that thumbs up?
00:43:15Is that thumbs up?
00:43:17Oh wow
00:43:19Wow
00:43:24Let it go
00:43:27Let it go
00:43:28Let 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 to be seen
00:43:40To be seen
00:43:41To be seen
00:43:41A kingdom of isolation
00:43:43And it looks like I'm the king
00:43:47Ooh the wind is silent like the swirling storm inside
00:43:56I couldn't keep it in
00:43:59Heaven knows I've tried
00:44:03Let it go
00:44:05Let it go
00:44:06Let it go
00:44:07I can't hold it back anymore
00:44:10Let it go
00:44:12Let it go
00:44:16Cause the cold never bothered me
00:44:20It's time to see what I can do
00:44:24To test the limits and break through
00:44:27No right no wrong
00:44:29No rules for me
00:44:31I'm free
00:44:33Let it go
00:44:35Let it go
00:44:37I can't hold it back anymore
00:44:41Let it go
00:44:43Let it go
00:44:45Turn away and slam the door
00:44:49I don't care what they're gonna say
00:44:53Let the storm rage on
00:44:55Baby baby
00:44:57Let it go
00:44:58Let it go
00:45:02Let it go
00:45:04Let it go
00:45:06Let it go
00:45:07Let it go
00:45:08Let it go
00:45:08Let it go
00:45:10Let it go
00:45:11Let it go
00:45:12Cause the cold never bothered me anyway
00:45:33Oh, Trey, look, I mean, the only way to win this thing is to get the country to vote for
00:45:43you.
00:45:43And the only way the country votes for you is if they believe in you, and if you're a likable
00:45:49person.
00:45:50You are so believable, you're so likable, you're such a good guy, but you are also a genius.
00:45:56That was so good.
00:45:59That's going to stream off its head.
00:46:02Thank you so much.
00:46:05So good, man.
00:46:06Yeah, it would be almost impossible for most moms and dads, godparents, grandparents, not to know that song, honey.
00:46:15Because when it was all happening, I heard it so many times I could kill somebody.
00:46:21You know what I mean?
00:46:22But your rendition of that was just so beautiful, Trey, you know.
00:46:27And yeah, there's nothing much I can say except I think that was a very, very clever choice on your
00:46:32part.
00:46:32Thank you so much, Marcia.
00:46:33I appreciate it.
00:46:38Tell me you've heard this song.
00:46:40Trey, of course, I don't, that'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, you made it all chocolate and beautiful and ooh.
00:46:56With a nougar-y, caramel-y, ooh.
00:47:00I was eating that up.
00:47:02And that, mate, you're up there with the greatest.
00:47:05Like, you make every song you sing, like, the forbidden.
00:47:09Ooh.
00:47:10Ooh, I've gone home without me shoes again.
00:47:12You know the time.
00:47:13You're that bloke.
00:47:15That was very clever, as Amy said.
00:47:18All the kids love that.
00:47:19Every stupid little girl with the head, they all love it.
00:47:23The guy can't be bad.
00:47:24Thank you, Carl.
00:47:24I need you to stop.
00:47:25Well done.
00:47:26Everything was bad.
00:47:27That was sick.
00:47:27Everything.
00:47:28Everything.
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.
00:47:37I've never seen any of these rubbish things.
00:47:39And I loved every song so far.
00:47:41I love it.
00:47:41Trey, that was a girl dad power move if I ever saw one.
00:47:46Absolutely.
00:47:46My goodness.
00:47:50What a cool spin on that song.
00:47:52How do you think it went?
00:47:53It was fun.
00:47:54It was really fun to put a twist on this song.
00:47:56Yeah, I was a little nervous because it is such a big song.
00:47:59You know, it's known in probably the majority of every household.
00:48:03Every kid loves that song.
00:48:03So, yeah, it was scary but I felt good with the performance and I'm happy the judges felt
00:48:09the same way.
00:48:38Yeah, we did.
00:48:39My performance is she just wanted to see John at the moment.
00:48:42So, she saw John and then she went home.
00:48:44She looked really comfy.
00:48:45I 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.
00:48:55She's coming for your job.
00:48:56Trey, it's up to the public now to keep you in the competition.
00:49:00Tell Australia why they should vote for you.
00:49:02Well, I've been working on my craft for a very long time now.
00:49:06And, you know, the main reason I just want Australia to, you know, witness growth.
00:49:10I still have a lot to learn and I breathe music.
00:49:13So, it's forever my goal to, you know, become the greatest version of myself.
00:49:17I can be musically and as a human.
00:49:21That's why I think about Australia.
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, vote for him right now.
00:49:35Text Trey to the number on the screen.
00:49:39Let's hear it one more time for Trey.
00:49:41Thank you so much.
00:49:42Thank you, Ricky.
00:49:42Killed it.
00:49:46Up next, our model from Melbourne, Sophie, will bring us glamour, glitter and a whole lot of sparkle
00:49:53when she hits the idle 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.
00:50:19The final singer of the night is our model, Sophie.
00:50:22And 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 and she's kept us entertained for years.
00:50:39And now I heard that you were the one that convinced her to audition for Idol.
00:50:43You must be glad you did that.
00:50:44Oh, absolutely.
00:50:46Yeah?
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.
00:50:52All right, well, let's see how Sophie, our model from Melbourne, prepared for her performance this week.
00:50:59There's something in the world, you're mine, yeah.
00:51:08Oh, I'm great.
00:51:10How are you feeling?
00:51:11I'm good.
00:51:12And it's movie week.
00:51:14Yeah.
00:51:14Tell me what song you're doing.
00:51:15I'm doing Diamonds Are Girls Best Friends.
00:51:17One of my favourite songs in the movie, Gentleman Before Blondes.
00:51:21Yes.
00:51:22Iconic.
00:51:22Just iconic.
00:51:24In top 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.
00:51:44Thank you so much.
00:51:45You made it.
00:51:46I made it.
00:51:48Just to elevate your performance.
00:51:51How do you feel about two male dancers?
00:51:54Really?
00:51:55Yes.
00:51:56Actually?
00:51:56Actually.
00:51:57Oh my God.
00:51:58That is like my dream.
00:51:59Yes.
00:52:00Literally my dream.
00:52:01We're going to have to really step up.
00:52:02Yeah.
00:52:03Are you ready for that?
00:52:04Yes.
00:52:05There is going to be a bit more on my plate for this performance.
00:52:09You've just gone here.
00:52:10Full.
00:52:13Tying everything in and making it still sound amazing because at the end of the day,
00:52:19this is a singing show.
00:52:20Yeah.
00:52:21Then from here you're going to run left, right, left.
00:52:23Oh, left, right, left.
00:52:24Left, right.
00:52:25So much dancing can really get in the way of your vocal work and the breath control and
00:52:29your delivery.
00:52:31It is a risk to add all your movement, but taking risks lead to better results.
00:52:37So let's just go from the high note just before the dance break.
00:52:41Yeah.
00:52:41So we got...
00:52:43Diamond.
00:52:44Yeah, I think pressure is definitely on for this performance.
00:52:47Diamond.
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 10, it would just be truly a dream come
00:53:00true.
00:53:15Diamond.
00:53:18Girls best friends.
00:53:26Baby, quite continental, but diamonds.
00:53:30Diamonds are a girl's best friend
00:53:33The gifts may be grand
00:53:35But I won't pay the rental on your humble flat
00:53:38Or 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
00:53:49A square cut or pear shape
00:53:52These rocks don't lose their shape
00:53:54Diamonds 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
00:54:18Tell me all about it
00:54:22As time rolls on
00:54:25And youth is gone
00:54:26And you can't straighten up when you bend
00:54:30But stiff back or stiff knees
00:54:33You'll stare straight at Tiffany's
00:54:35Diamonds
00:54:37Are a girl's best friend
00:54:51Best friend
00:54:52Yes
00:54:53HoH
00:55:06Woo
00:55:12Sophie!
00:55:13Little Sophie!
00:55:15Hey hey hey hey!
00:55:15Look 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 look 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.
00:55:31That 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.
00:55:42You 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 because you're so good.
00:55:55And you just are very believable.
00:55:56Every time I see you, I just fall into the performance, whatever you're doing.
00:56:00Thank you so much, Val.
00:56:01And I forget that I'm judging.
00:56:02I'm just like, oh, diamonds are right now, 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.
00:56:11You love them.
00:56:12Frost me up.
00:56:14Nice work, hun.
00:56:15Thanks, girl.
00:56:16Oh, yes, we love those diamonds.
00:56:18Girlfriend, I want those boots, okay?
00:56:20Those are some of the best looking.
00:56:22You look fantastic.
00:56:23I thought they were pants.
00:56:24Yeah.
00:56:24No, they're like, oh, they're one big thing, isn't it?
00:56:27Yes, girl, you look fantastic.
00:56:29And your choice in a song as old as that and bringing it into the 21st century.
00:56:35How old is that?
00:56:36Oh, that's, that's.
00:56:37It's a lot older than you.
00:56:38Yeah.
00:56:39A lot.
00:56:39Free boots.
00:56:40And that's old.
00:56:41All right.
00:56:42So that was.
00:56:43So young.
00:56:44Oh, thank you.
00:56:44But, you know, that was Marilyn Monroe.
00:56:46You know, she made that song quite famous.
00:56:49Yeah.
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 favorite movies of all time is Moulin Rouge.
00:57:13And you were just giving me Satine then.
00:57:15And Burlesque.
00:57:16Yeah, it was, that was just so slick, Sophie.
00:57:19Thank you so much.
00:57:20I can see, like, you're like one of these people that you really saw with success.
00:57:26Like, once you start hitting your stride, like, we're really seeing you in action now.
00:57:30And that is not easy to do.
00:57:33That, that was like such an amazing performance that you did then so effortlessly with dancers and singing and just
00:57:41being, like Kyle said, this character.
00:57:44It's like, that's what Australia wants.
00:57:47They don't want anyone boring.
00:57:48They want to see someone who they're like, wow, she's interesting.
00:57:52And you were so interesting.
00:57:55So, well done.
00:57:56Thank you all.
00:57:57Thank you all.
00:57:58Thank you so much.
00:57:59Seriously.
00:57:59And my dancers.
00:58:01Wow.
00:58:02Thank you, girl.
00:58:03Sophie, looking like a million bucks up here, serving the timeless glamour of Miss Marilyn Monroe.
00:58:11I loved that.
00:58:11And that arrangement was insane.
00:58:14Did you enjoy that?
00:58:15I had a fabulous, amazing time, of 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, you, you absolutely took over the stage.
00:58:26You brought everything to that performance.
00:58:28It's two backup dancers.
00:58:30I mean, where did you pull them from?
00:58:32A blessing.
00:58:33So cool.
00:58:34Is it, like, how important is it for you to put on a show with all of the bells and
00:58:38whistles?
00:58:38Like, is that who you want to be?
00:58:40Yeah, I think extra is just so fun.
00:58:43There's no such thing.
00:58:44And I think it is.
00:58:45Like, it's just me.
00:58:45I really want to entertain people.
00:58:47And I think, you know, I have an outgoing personality.
00:58:49And I've been gifted this gift to do this.
00:58:51And that's really how I feel.
00:58:54So, yeah, I want to make the most of it, of course.
00:58:56And it's all just to connect with people and entertain them and make their life any easier
00:59:00if I can.
00:59:01You know, hear laughs or...
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, okay?
00:59:23Okay.
00:59:24Sophie is the last to sing.
00:59:26So now our judges have a very important decision to make that will be a total game changer for
00:59:33one 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.
00:59:45That 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.
01:00:11While they mull over that massive decision, we have got something extra special for you.
01:00:16He is the OG winner of Australian Idol and about to head on a national tour.
01:00:21But before he hits the road, he's stopped by for an exclusive performance with your top
01:00:2712.
01:00:27Singing his ARIA award-winning song, Choir.
01:00:38I know it's weird to say this, but I've been thinking about it lately.
01:00:43Reminiscing about us in Vegas, drinking like we're famous.
01:00:46Man, those days were crazy.
01:00:48But your book ran out of pages, and I wish I never waited.
01:00:53To tell you out of all the moments in my life, the ones I got to share with you are
01:00:57probably
01:00:57my favorite.
01:00:59I know you're looking down on us.
01:01:01I'm missing you, bro.
01:01:02I hope you're proud of us.
01:01:03At least I know you made it home.
01:01:05And I know you're not alone.
01:01:08Cause now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:10Now you're dancing in a crew.
01:01:13You ain't doing this solo.
01:01:15We all riding with you.
01:01:18No one can put out your fire.
01:01:21Nobody filling your shoes.
01:01:23Cause now you're singing in a choir.
01:01:48Now you're dancing in a crew.
01:01:55You ain't doing this solo.
01:01:58We all riding with you.
01:02:01Yeah, no one can put out your fire.
01:02:03Nobody filling your shoes.

01:04:20And look, it's 23 years since Idol.
01:04:23Wow.
01:04:24And 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,
01:04:33and 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.

01:05:01Yeah.
01:05:01I was in the bottom two, I think, a couple of times.
01:05:04And, yes, I know.
01:05:07But, 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.
01:05:14Vote for your favourite.
01:05:16Get them through.
01:05:17Absolutely.

01:07:03and how you've taken your notes
01:07:05and how you've just decided,
01:07:07OK, so at this point in time, this is who I am.
01:07:10There's a lot more to come,
01:07:11but, gee, I am so impressed.
01:07:14We are very impressed with you guys.
01:07:17OK, it's time to find out
01:07:18who will be instantly locked into the top ten.

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
01:07:58that tells us they're far from done.
01:08:02They have connection, emotion, star power.
01:08:11Incredible 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,
01:08:21but that's what performance is
01:08:23when people actually see you show who you are.
01:08:28So the person we are saving...
01:08:43The person going straight through
01:08:47isn't the one or the two,
