00:06You had your say and the volume of votes is off the charts.
00:12Your verdict will be revealed tonight.
00:14As we open the show, make some noise for your top ten.
00:30Another day is going out, yeah.
00:38I see your faces flying out, yeah.
00:46We're going out today.
00:48I think we'd stop and take a look now, yeah.
00:54So we have to say, baby, that we should reach out.
00:58Everybody, reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
01:09Reach out and reach out and reach out and touch somebody.

01:22Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:24So let's take away the silent fears.
01:30Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:32We caught our mistakes.
01:34You think we stopped and you'll take a look now.
01:38Yeah.
01:40Who's all we have to say?
01:41Who's going to be that we should reach out on?

02:20Your Australian Idol Top 10
02:29Nice
02:30Yeah
02:31Wow
02:33Keep the applause going for your Australian Idol judges
02:40Judges, you're looking very sharp tonight
02:42How are we doing? Doing great
02:43We're doing well. How are you guys doing?
02:45Very good. That was good. They did a great job
02:48They nailed that. Wasn't it amazing?
02:49Excellent. So good. Here we go
02:51Well, we had two nights of spectacular
02:53Performances as your idols took
02:55On an all Aussie music playlist
02:58We had songs from Farnsey
03:00Crowded House, Kylie
03:01Tones and I, so many more
03:03It was banger after
03:05Banger on Sunday night
03:07The first half of your Top 10 performed
03:09And it was absolutely
03:11Incredible. Then, last night
03:13The second group took to the stage and showed
03:15Australia why they are the complete
03:17Package and deserving
03:19Of your votes
03:21The voting was open for each heat
03:23For 24 hours, but I can confirm
03:25Voting
03:27Has closed
03:29And we are now verifying the numbers
03:31Before we reveal the results
03:33Sunday night's heat
03:35Had Johnny Jukebox from
03:36Bunbury NWA
03:40Our central coast landscaper, Kalani
03:45And forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta
03:51Plus our barber from Ballarat, Harry
03:55And our singing skier
03:57And our singing skier from Jindabyne
03:58Kesha
04:02At the end of the show, the judges saved
04:04Kesha from the public vote
04:05For her amazing cover of Olivia Newton-Jones
04:08Hopelessly Devoted to You
04:10Here's a reminder
04:12Of what went down
04:16From coast to coast
04:18The country tuned in for an all Aussie showdown
04:21This one's for you, Australia
04:22Let's do this
04:31What a way to kick off the show, man
04:35Nice work!
04:36It was so exciting
04:38I just love being on the stage with such a buzz
04:41Dreams were made
04:45You just sound like heaven
04:47You're a little sexy bastard too, aren't you?
04:50But then, the harshest critic emerged
04:56I hate it!
05:00I thought that was rubbish
05:02Oh, what?
05:04That whole angsty stuff
05:05You're a nicer guy than that
05:07Artists grow and I think
05:09He's just too soft to be hard
05:11I don't think so
05:12I think a soft guy can definitely be a rock star on stage
05:15Look, Amy, she loves rock and roll
05:17But look at her, that's the real Amy there
05:18In a pretty little satin dress
05:23I don't think we've ever seen someone grow so much on this show before
05:28You still look a little nervous strutting around
05:31Considering that was like my first time moving that much
05:34I think I did pretty okay
05:35Yeah
05:36And one idol delivered a performance Australia won't forget
05:42Hopelessly devoted to you
05:45You've got a great gift
05:47You did a brilliant job
05:49Scoring our singing skier from Jindabyne, The Judges Save
05:53Kesha Hay
05:56Getting the judges saved is like
05:58I can't even comprehend
06:01Now, the moment has arrived
06:03Some of the performances have been so full of heart
06:06And I hope that's what Australia saw
06:08Whose idol journey will end tonight
06:11I really hope that Australia can see the effort that I put into that performance
06:14I'm not ready to go home with so much more show
06:17I want to keep living out my dreams on that stage
06:19And I don't want to go, it's not my time now
06:25The performances from our idols just keep getting better and better
06:31You can stream or download every song from this series on all your favourite streaming devices
06:36Like Spotify and Apple Music
06:38Just get amongst it
06:40Kyle and Marsha, everyone is praising the calibre of talent this season
06:44Making each elimination get harder and harder, right?
06:47But indeed, you know, like the kids have stepped up
06:50The performances are like on another level
06:52And I don't think we could be prouder
06:54Like we've travelled the whole country to find these people
06:58And you guys should be very proud of yourselves
07:00My mum rang me the other night and she cried at Kesha's Olivia Newton-John song
07:05It was beautiful, wasn't it?
07:07It made my heart melt
07:08Your mum crying on the phone to you, so beautiful
07:12Amy, the two idols from each heat with the lowest votes will sing again tonight
07:17To show us why they should not be leaving the competition
07:20So there's a positive that comes with the negative, right?
07:23I mean, it's not every day you get to perform in front of the whole country
07:26So I think they need to see that as a positive for sure
07:29Absolutely
07:29And also, for us, we always like to hear another artist perform, don't we guys?
07:35Yeah, we do
07:36So, it's not all bad
07:38Now, needless to say, our socials were absolutely blowing up
07:43With lots of love and comments for our idols
07:46Make sure you follow us, at Australian Idol, on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook
07:50To join the conversation
07:51You're not texting, you are doing something work-related there with your phone
07:55No, we're never on the job, no way
07:56But the comments
07:57Oh no, I won't
07:58Comments are already rolling in your shortcut
08:01Over on Facebook, everyone just love, love, loved Aussie Music Week
08:04Which we all agree
08:05Phoebe from Jarvis Bay says her dog Lola howled along to all the high notes
08:10So sorry to run a Jarvis Bay about that one
08:13Ricky Stewart from Broome said he wished he had more than 10 votes to use
08:16And a lot of people agree, very hard to use the 10 votes
08:19On Instagram, plenty of excitement about tonight's special guest
08:22Our ARIA award-winning Bujira is in the house
08:26Woohoo!
08:28That's getting hyped as well, how good is this?
08:30But right now, I'm gonna go check in on our idols down at the lounge
08:33Alrighty Scotty, off you go
08:35We are just minutes away from learning who from Sunday night's show is safe
08:39And who has to sing again Australia
08:42To prove to you that they deserve a spot in the top 8
08:45Then we reveal which idol will be leaving the competition for goods
08:51I'm here with the 5 idols who have performed on Sunday night
08:54But by the end of tonight, only 4 of you will survive
08:57But of course, Kesha over here, she scored
09:00Yeah, the judges say you've already submitted your place in the top 8
09:05How are you feeling for your fellow idols who are on the chopping block tonight?
09:09Oh, I mean, I love every single person that I've met in this competition
09:12And they all have my heart, like I said the other night
09:15So, I'm just giving them my love and support and positiveness
09:20And it doesn't matter what happens
09:22Because I just think they're all amazing and they're all gonna do great things

09:59We have four spots available
10:01But one is already taken by the judges save
10:04Kesha over there in the lounge

11:15Harry, it's not the news you want to hear right?
11:18No, not at all obviously after last week
11:21The bottom two again
11:22But that's, yeah, it's another opportunity to sing
11:23And I'm kind of happy for that
11:25Yes
11:28Judges, never good to see a singer in the bottom two
11:31Surprised by this?
11:34What?
11:35You surprised by this? It's never good to see a singer in the bottom two
11:38I'm not surprised
11:39Him surprised? No
11:41No, no, Kyle's not surprised
11:42He sort of gave him the KOD and everything
11:45He said he wasn't good and you know, he wasn't sexy
11:48But I totally disagree, Harry
11:50You know, I think you did a great job
11:52But that's from my point of view
11:54And you know, you've got to remember where Kyle's coming from
11:56But we're at top ten now and it's like
11:58Yeah
11:59Someone needs to go home

13:24One of you is safe
13:27One of you is safe
13:27And unfortunately, one of you isn't
13:29Johnny Jukebox, you gave us a unique, beautiful, amazing version of Thirsty Merc
13:36Even Ray, the lead singer, sent his message of approval, which is very, very cool
13:41Are you ready to find out where you stand?
13:43Um, let's just get it over with
13:47And Jacinta, you sang on a night like this from the one and only Kylie Minogue
13:51Do you feel like everything is in line tonight for you?
13:56Oh, I mean, you know, I have all these gut feelings at the moment and I'm just, I'm just, you
14:02know, I'm just here with John right now and either way whatever happens I'm proud of us both
14:05Yes
14:06Okay
14:09The next name that I read out is safe and through to the top eight and that singer is
14:19John
14:20John
14:37Well done, John
14:39Congratulations, you have made it into the top eight
14:44Wow
14:45Which means, Jacinta, Australia has voted and has put you in the bottom two
14:51Jacinta, how do you, how do you feel? Did you expect that?
14:55Um, look, I mean, no one, no one comes into this expecting to be in the bottom two, but, you
15:00know, I've been in, in the, in bottom places for a long time
15:03So, I'm just gonna enjoy the next performance and have fun if it's my last one and thanks for voting
15:08for me anyway
15:10That's the way
15:11Good attitude, girlfriend
15:13Come over here and join us, Harry
15:14Now, having received the least amount of votes from Sunday night, unfortunately you both face elimination, which means you'll sing
15:22again to show Australia why you deserve to be here next week
15:26Harry and Jacinta, head on backstage and get ready to perform again for what may be the last time
15:35Amy, some super talented singers in trouble at the moment, how does that sit with you?
15:41I mean, it's just difficult, right, because we're, they got through all these challenges, I just think that they should
15:47try and see this as positive as they can, you know, we are at the pointy end of the whole
15:52competition, they have done so well, so I hope they get out there and just give it everything they have,
15:56just remind everyone how great they are
15:59Absolutely
16:01Marsha, it's live TV and this is a crucial moment for Harry and Jacinta, how much pressure are they under
16:09right now?
16:10You know, a lot of pressure, so I was watching the first song, you know, that they sang, you know,
16:13the group thing and I was saying that Kyle, you know, we don't have television shows anymore where people learn
16:19the craft of being on television and that's one of the best things about the show
16:24Yeah
16:25You know, you learn to wait, you learn to sort of step up when you have to and I think
16:29everyone has done a sterling job
16:31Not just that, Marsha, but like the performances and they're up early and they're learning new songs every week and
16:37they're learning group songs and they've got to have their second song if they don't get through tonight
16:41It's the best training group
16:42They're going to charity things, they're doing interviews
16:44Yeah, yeah, it's relentless
16:45It's 24-7 as kids
16:47They're working, okay?
16:47They're working and that's totally impressive, it's wonderful
16:51Yeah, it is
16:51Super impressive
16:52Yeah
16:54Kyle, if they're listening backstage right now, have you got anything to say to Harry and Jacinta before they sing
16:59again?
17:00Yes, you were both the weakest on the show on that Sunday night
17:05Australia's got it right, prove to us why you deserve to stay here, so best of luck to both of
17:10them
17:10Okay
17:11Okay, well, Harry and Jacinta, face elimination, performing under this pressure, it's just not easy
17:17No, first to take to the stage though is our fabulous forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh
17:23She's given us inspiring performances week after week
17:27So, to prove why she should stay in the competition with a new song to show off her talent singing
17:33Scars To Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara
17:35Please welcome Jacinta
17:38Thank you
17:50Yeah
17:51Yes
17:52Yes
17:52Yes
17:52Yes
18:00Yes
18:02Yes
18:02Yes
18:02Yes
18:04She knows, I know that she knows no limits
18:08She craves attention, she praises an image
18:13She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
18:18There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
18:22You should know you're beautiful just the way you are
18:27You won't have to change a thing, the world could change, it's hard
18:32No stars, you're beautiful, we're stars, we're beautiful
18:48You won't have to change a thing, the world could change, it's hard
18:53No stars, you're beautiful, we're stars, we're beautiful
19:16Oh Jacinta, you know what, sometimes you're amazing, tonight's one of those nights, did yourself proud
19:23That's the perfect song for you, don't you think?
19:25And if you do go home tonight, I'm sure, we'll see you again sometime in the future, best of luck
19:31Jacinta, your transformation has been truly, truly something to watch
19:35Vocally, as well as the way you present yourself now
19:39And you should be very proud of yourself regardless, Jacinta
19:42Thank you so much, Marsha, thank you
19:46I second that, I just, the transformation is just insane
19:50And I think, you know, when you walked into that audition room, hearing such a unique voice
19:55I'm just so proud of you for getting this far, you know
19:59I mean, it's just, it's just incredible
20:01And no matter what happens, I think now is the time for you to just become totally unstoppable
20:06Thank you, Amy, I really appreciate that
20:10Jacinta, you gorgeous thing, how did that feel?
20:13That felt really good, I felt like I was looking at all these beautiful people in the crowd
20:17And just being like, oh my gosh, I've gotten to do this, you know, like since my audition to now
20:22It's just, it's a really beautiful moment, I can't explain it, felt great
20:25Yep, you've done an amazing job every step of the way
20:28Give it up for Jacinta, everybody
20:33Alright, after the break, Harry will perform and then we'll find out which one of them
20:38Jacinta or Harry will be leaving the competition tonight
20:42Don't go anywhere, Idol's Live Verdict Show will continue after this
20:55You're locked on the Live Verdict Show
20:58And before the break, we learned that Jacinta and Harry from Sunday Night Show received the lowest number of votes
21:04Jacinta then performed in what could be her final song on the Idol stage in a bid to prove why
21:10she deserves to be here
21:11Now it's Harry's turn, he's our barber from Ballarat in Victoria
21:15Singing how to save a life from the fray
21:19This is Harry
21:20This is Harry
21:49This is Harry's turn, he's on theistoia
21:50She goes to the right, she's on the left, she'l you'll stay right
22:05Between the lines of fear and blame
22:09You begin to wonder why you came
22:13And where did I go wrong?
22:15I lost a friend somewhere alone
22:19In the bitterness and how would I stay up
22:23With you all night
22:25Had I known how to save a life
22:29How would I stay up with you all night
22:33Had I known how to save a life
22:50Well done, Harry.
22:53I, look, I, I loved, I have loved watching you grow.
22:59I remember your audition, you even wrote the lyrics in your arm.
23:01Remember that?
23:02I do remember that.
23:03And just to see where you've come
23:05Like even doing something like that
23:07Without guitars or stands or anything
23:09Like I think I would even struggle
23:11Let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two
23:14So well done for performing
23:17And also well done for taking criticism
23:19On like live television
23:21Cause like, no, it's, it's one thing to read it
23:25As a comment online
23:27Cause you know, we all get that
23:29We all, it's not always positive online
23:59But to go like, you know, to handle that
24:01Hairy Harry, we loved that
24:02You know what, that's what I meant
24:03When I said those angsty songs that you sang
24:07That's a beautiful song
24:08It's an emotional, I believed every word you said
24:11I believed, I believed everything you did then
24:14That's where you need to be
24:15If you get another chance
24:17Stay in that pocket
24:18That's what, you own that pocket
24:19Thank you, God
24:20Yeah, cheers
24:20Thank you
24:23All right, everybody
24:24Make some noise for Harry
24:28And welcome back
24:29The beautiful Jacinta
24:32All right, you guys
24:33The time has come
24:36Who is safe
24:37And who goes home

24:42Let's do this
24:44Love you, Jacinta
24:47Jacinta and Harry
24:48It's the moment of truth
24:51Australia, based on the nationwide vote
24:54You at home had 24 hours to have your say
24:57Australia, you voted
24:59And you decided
25:01That's all, Jacinta and Harry
25:04Sing again
25:05And now
25:07The idol

25:43Let's go
25:46You're officially in the top eight
25:48Go and celebrate in the lounge
25:49Jacinta
25:53Unfortunately, though
25:55For Harry
25:56That does mean your time on the Idol stage ends tonight
25:59It is such a shame to see you leave the competition
26:02We have loved having you with us
26:04Harry, what's been the highlight of your Idol journey so far?
26:08There's been so many
26:10It's been awesome
26:11All the opportunities, I suppose, that we've had
26:13And just working with such high industry level people
26:15And sort of getting to experience what it's like
26:17Being this high up in show business
26:19Has been amazing
26:20Obviously, all the friends that I've made
26:22It's been phenomenal
26:23Some of them aren't here
26:24Some of them are here
26:25But I've had such a great time
26:27They're friends who have for the rest of your life, Harry
26:29Truly
26:31Judges, anything to add before Harry leaves the Idol stage?
26:34I think what Marsha said
26:35You really do have an incredible rock voice, man
26:38It's really unique
26:39It's a crazy voice
26:40You should go and flex that
26:41And just keep working, man
26:42You know, that's what this industry is about
26:44You just keep working
26:44Believe in yourself
26:45And hopefully, all goes well
26:47He can be a model
26:48He can be a hairdresser
26:49He can be a singer
26:51What can't he do?
26:52You've got so many opportunities and options
26:54Unlike the rest of us
26:55Some of us only have one
26:56That's right
26:58Good luck, man
26:59I hope to see you in the future
27:01Nice to meet you

31:52Wow, that was so smooth
31:54So cool
31:57Bujara, your list of accolades
31:59Is huge for someone so young
32:01Amongst so many of the things that you've done
32:04You've performed at the AFL Grand Final
32:05You've toured with Ed Sheeran
32:07Won a stack of awards
32:08What would you say is the highlight for you?
32:11Oh, you know, um
32:13I guess this is my highlight
32:15I used to love watching American Idol as a kid
32:18And my mum used to have dreams that I would be singing on American Idol
32:21And here we are
32:22Here you are, an Australian Idol
32:24Doing your thing
32:25You suave gentleman, you
32:28The song we just heard
32:29Gentlemen
32:30A suave sexy R&B number
32:32Tell us a little bit about
32:33A little bit about it
32:34Um, yeah, well
32:35Gentlemen is my new single
32:36I just wanted to
32:37I like dressing up
32:39So I thought this would be the perfect song
32:42And it's um, it's out now
32:44It's from my new album Gentlemen
32:46You can pre-order
32:47It's out on the 24th of July
32:49Yeah
32:49Nice
32:50What did you guys think?
32:51Did you love Budra's performance?
32:53Of course
32:55You can download and stream Gentlemen right now
32:58And get the new album on July 24 Australia
33:01Give it up for Budra!
33:08Okay, it's business time
33:10And right after the break we find out who you voted into the top 8 from last night's show
33:15Already there is our doting dad Trey from Melbourne, Victoria
33:20Who the judges, who got the judges saved?
33:23And that leaves Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo and Samela all facing elimination
33:28One must go home
33:30Don't move a muscle
33:31Idol is back in a moment
33:44This is Australian Idol's live voting show
33:47And we're about to find out who stays and who goes from last night's show
33:51The tension is getting too much Scotty, I can't handle it
33:54It's a lot, it's a lot in here
33:56Well there are a record number of votes that we received
33:58As you voted for who you wanted to save
34:01Last night we saw performances from our Perth soul man Charlie
34:07Brisbane Ballot King Harlan
34:10And our all singing, all rapping Wanwoo
34:15Plus young dad Trey
34:19And Adelaide school teacher Samela
34:23They went all out and left nothing on the stage
34:28Let's take a look at how last night played out
34:33Aussie Aussie Aussie Aussie
34:34Aussie Aussie
34:36Aussie Aussie
34:37One, two, three, come on
34:39The Aussie party kept on coming
34:41I said I had a dream
34:45So individual and so different
34:47And you know what you need to do
34:49And you did it tonight, well done
34:51Hoping I've done enough, but I gave it every single bit of juice that I had
34:54There's nothing left in the tank, you know
34:58Some performances were untouchable
35:03That was Grammy performance right there
35:07R to the R to the CKR
35:10Mickey Lee girl
35:11Yeah, you're so fly
35:13Others brought the house down
35:15I want to do it again
35:19You're very real
35:20I just want to go and have a beer with you
35:22Amy and I are going to get a schooner
35:24Or two schooners
35:26Double parked
35:28And one idol
35:29Dared to take on Aussie music royalty
35:39What the actual harlot is going on
35:43Only the bravest or the craziest human being on earth
35:46Would get on this stage and sing John Farnham live
35:49And he smashed it
35:51I'll be messed up if you can't be right here
35:55But one hit song was turned into a moment of idol magic
36:04You're so ready for the world stage Trey
36:06Because you are amazing
36:08Thank you so much
36:09Saving our young dad from the public vote
36:13Trey
36:17I'm over the moon
36:19I can't stop smiling
36:21My heart's been off its head
36:23Now it all comes down to this
36:28Everyone's saying there's the best title ever
36:30I have to agree
36:31I really hope Australia has voted for me
36:33Because I am just at the beginning of this journey
36:37And I have so much to show
36:38Who's heading into the top 8?
36:41Wonder Woman
36:42And now I'm in the top 10
36:45Get me through to the top 8
36:51What a night
36:53Everyone brought their A game
36:55And every performance was incredible
36:57I can't pick how this is going to go tonight
37:00It really is anyone's game
37:02With Trey scoring the judge save
37:05He can relax over there in the lounge
37:07Knowing he has a guaranteed place in the top 8
37:12For Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo and Samela
37:14Their future hangs in the balance
37:18Alright everybody
37:19Let's do this
37:20Hit the lights
37:23Idols
37:24In no particular order
37:26When we call your name
37:28Come on over
37:30First up
37:33Samela
37:38Hello, how are you?
37:40Hello guys, I'm good
37:41Samela, our mum and teacher from Adelaide
37:45Last night
37:46You sang the iconic Aussie classic
37:49Buses and Trains
37:51The judges loved it
37:52But it's Australia
37:54Who has the final say
37:57How are your palms right now?
37:58Give me a little clammy
37:59So sweaty
37:59Clammy palms test
38:00Very clammy
38:02Very very clammy
38:03Confirmed
38:04Ok Samela, Australia voted
38:06And I can now reveal
38:09You
38:10Are
38:16Safe
38:17Safe
38:19Oh my god
38:21Congratulations Samela
38:22You are in the top 8
38:24Congratulations
38:25Go and celebrate in the lounge
38:26With Trey
38:27Well done Samela
38:30Alright
38:31Next up
38:32We have got
38:34Wanwoo
38:36Come on over here
38:38Hi girl, hi
38:39Oh
38:41Should we just rip the bandaid off?
38:42Cause that face looks like
38:43Please take it off
38:45Ok, we'll do it gently
38:47Ok, cause you sang Ricky Lee's Can't Touch It
38:50And nailed it
38:51Ricky loved it
38:53But did Australia
38:55After the nation voted
38:56I can confirm
38:59That you are
39:06In the bottom 2
39:10Alright
39:11Alright
39:11That really isn't the result
39:12That you wanted right?
39:14Not at all
39:14Not at all
39:15But Australia voted
39:16And I just have to prove Australia wrong
39:19100%
39:20Yeah you do
39:21I can see the judges
39:22Marsha's pointing right now
39:23Do you want to say something Marsha?
39:25Yeah
39:25I think that's exactly right
39:26You know
39:27This is the hardest part
39:28Because we don't have anything to do with this
39:31And people are watching
39:32And this is what they're voting for
39:34And I think at this point in time
39:35Mm-mm
39:36They're wrong
39:36Yeah
39:37We see it a lot
39:39We see it a lot
39:39Good people on this show
39:40Go home
39:41Over to the danger zone there Wanwoo
39:43Crossing our fingers for you
39:45Oh damn
39:46Alright, lucky last
39:48Come on over Harlan and Charlie
39:51One of you will make it safely into the top 8
39:56While the other will be singing for your life alongside Wanwoo
40:00Harlan you took on the mighty John Farnham last night
40:06Yes
40:06A risky move that may or may not have paid off
40:10You know how protective Aussies are of Farnsie, don't you?
40:15Yes
40:15Yes
40:16Alright, Charlie
40:17You were a little bit under the weather last night
40:20But you still powered through your performance
40:22Let's hope your cold didn't impact your chances there
40:26Hopefully not
40:27Alright
40:28The next name I read out is safe and through to the top 8
40:34And that person
40:37Is
40:38Harlan
40:49Harlan
40:50Thank you guys
40:53Well done Harlan
40:56You my friend are in the top 8
40:59Congratulations you survived another week
41:01Go and celebrate with the others
41:02Yes
41:05So unfortunately Charlie
41:07You have been voted into the bottom 2
41:09What do you make of that?
41:11You know it's unfortunate
41:13I had a cold and I felt disappointed that I couldn't give it everything I had the other night
41:17And sometimes that's the way that it is
41:19But you did, you gave it everything you possibly could
41:22Yeah
41:22Yeah
41:24Wanwoo come over here and join us
41:25Wanwoo and Charlie
41:28You both need to sing for us again
41:30Which I'm personally excited about
41:32For one of you though it will be the last time on the idle stage
41:37Head backstage both of you and get ready to perform
41:41Tense times for Wanwoo and Charlie
41:43Both receiving the least amount of votes from last night's show
41:50Amy I can see that you're a little shocked with that result there
41:53Well it's funny Scotty because then I look over and I'm like
41:56Like who would I have expected to go?
41:59I don't know who I would have ever expected to go
42:02You know it's just a really crappy part of the competition
42:05I wish we didn't have to go through
42:06I also didn't mean to wear the horrible red colour of the verdict
42:10Every time it goes red I feel like I'm triggering everyone
42:12So sorry
42:14I mean it is a reality of this part of the competition
42:17Everyone is so amazingly talented
42:19So we are going to be losing really talented people every night
42:22Kyle no doubt there have been some times in your career
42:25Where you've had some high pressure moments like this
42:28How do you stay focused?
42:29Oh here we go
42:29When it matters most
42:31What a week to bring that up I can't think of anything
42:36Ricky just went off script then
42:37She just wanted to ask her
42:39I've had a few moments
42:41High stakes
42:42It is high stakes
42:43High pressure
42:44You know what last night was the toughest one
42:46We couldn't figure out
42:47Yeah it was
42:48I think Sunday nights we all figured out who was going to be in the bottom two
42:51But last night that was anyone's race
42:53Yes it was
42:54You know but Ricky you've been here
42:56You know what this is like
42:57Absolutely
42:58More than anybody you know
42:59And so it's not easy but you just got to keep going girlfriend
43:02You sure do
43:03That's the name of the game
43:04That's true
43:05Okay well their future is far from certain
43:07Both will perform again to show that they have what it takes to remain in the competition
43:12One will go through to the top eight and the other one will leave for good
43:16First up to sing is our soul man from Perth Charlie
43:20Our beanie boy has wowed the judges with every soulful song he has performed on this stage
43:28With another soulful spin on dancing on my own
43:32Make some noise for Charlie
43:35Some all out of his avez
43:55Somebody says you got a new friend
44:02Does he love you better than I can?
44:11Yeah, I know it's stupid
44:14But I just gotta see it for myself
44:19I'm in the corner watching you kiss her
44:24Oh, no, no
44:27And I'm giving him up
44:30I'm not the guy you're taking home
44:34Oh, I keep dancing on my own
44:44But you don't see me standing here
45:03Oh, Charlie.
45:04You've got a great voice.
45:05You're a great guy.
45:06You always over deliver.
45:08How's the cold going?
45:09You still got a little bit of it today?
45:11Just a smidge, but we're pretty much topside.
45:13We're feeling a lot better.
45:14Yeah, thank goodness.
45:15Hey, sorry you're in the bottom too, but great job tonight.
45:19If you get through, more of that, more of the same, more of that, Charlie, we love.
45:23Good luck, man.
45:23I would love to do more of that.
45:24Thank you, Carl.
45:28Charlie, your consistency is one of the best things and, you know, as Amy and I are so aware,
45:35and I think I would be, when you're not 100%, it's so hard to give a performance, but you know
45:40what?
45:40The audience don't know that, so you've just got to step up and do what you've got to do, okay?
45:45And that's what you did well, Charlie.
45:47Really well.
45:48You did great.
45:48Thank you, Marsha.
45:53Charlie, you're just like one of these artists that is, you're just so real.
45:58I said this to Trey the other night.
45:59You've got, I can just feel it in your conviction, like you've got stories to tell.
46:05You've seen the lowest of lows and the highest of highs, and I can see the love and happiness,
46:11but also the pain you've been through and everything, and I just, no matter what happens,
46:15I really hope you get in the studio and tell all these stories, because I'm excited for your career.
46:22Thank you, thank you, Amy.
46:23That would be fantastic.
46:24Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie, how are you feeling after that?
46:30I'm feeling good, you know.
46:31I'm kind of glad I got a chance to sing again and be like, hey, look,
46:34this is what I can do when I'm at full health.
46:36Oh, yeah.
46:37We love hearing you sing, Charlie.
46:38Love hearing.
46:39All right, Charlie, if you want to head over there right now,
46:41we're moments away from finding out Charlie's fate,
46:44but before that, we've got to hear from Wan-Wu on the other side of the break.
46:49Then we'll find out who is leaving Idol for good, Charlie or Wan-Wu.
46:54Stay with us, Idol.
46:55We'll be back right after this.
47:06You're watching Idol, and we are live.
47:08Before the break, we found out Wan-Wu and Charlie received the fewest votes from last night's show.
47:13In a last bid sing-off to show that they should stay in the competition,
47:17Charlie just gave us a performance from Dancing On My Own by Callum Scott.
47:22Yes, and now it's Wan-Wu's moment.
47:25Wan-Wu is our all-singing, all-rapping star performer.
47:30We have been amazed by her performances week after week,
47:34with mum Yasser always cheering her on from the crowd
47:38to show she is worthy of continuing her Idol journey.
47:42Singing, price tag by Jessie J.
47:44This is Wan-Wu.
48:13It seems like everybody's got a crowd.
48:16And I don't know how to sleep at night.
48:19When Brazil comes first and the truth comes second,
48:22just stop for a minute and smile.
48:25Why is everybody so serious?
48:28You're acting so damn mysterious.
48:30You got your heads on top, and you're here so hard
48:33that you can't even have a good time.
48:36Everybody look to the earth.
48:39Everybody look to the earth.
48:41Can you feel that you're playing with love tonight?
48:44And it's not about the money, money, money.
48:47We don't need your money, money, money.
48:50We just want to make the world dance.
48:53Forget about the price tag.
48:56We don't want your arm to change.
48:59We don't need your hair.
49:00Blame, blame, wanna make the world dance.
49:04Forget about the price tag.
49:24Thank you, everyone.
49:26One, we're just up there doing what you were born to do.
49:34I mean we say it each week just how effortless you make it look but I think you know what
49:40I've
49:41really learned about you and loved about you is just your empathy and just you're such a kind
49:46hearted person you know back when we were doing the challenges you were so good with Jacinta I
