00:01This is Australian Idol and we are live across the nation.
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.
01:17In this old world, we all can see, yeah.
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?
01:45Everybody, reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
01:55Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:02Reach out, reach out, reach out and touch somebody
02:10Reach out, reach out, reach out and touch somebody
02:20Your Australian Idol Top 10!
02:28Nice.
02:30Yay!
02:30Wow!
02:33Wowee!
02:33Keep the applause going for your Australian Idol judges!
02:39Judges, you're looking very sharp tonight.
02:42How are we doing?
02:43Doing great.
02:44We're doing well.
02:44How are you guys doing?
02:45Very good.
02:46That was good.
02:47They did a great job, they nailed that.
02:48Wasn't it amazing?
02:49Excellent.
02:50So good.
02:51Here we go.
02:52Well, we had two nights of spectacular performances
02:54as your idols took on an all-Aussie music playlist.
02:58We had songs from Farnsey, Crowded House, Kylie, Tones and I, so many more.
03:03It was banger after banger on Sunday night, the first half of your Top 10 performed and
03:10it was absolutely incredible.
03:12Then, last night, the second group took to the stage and showed Australia why they are
03:17the complete package and deserving of your votes.
03:21The voting was open for each heat for 24 hours but I can confirm voting has closed and we are
03:30now verifying the numbers before we reveal the results.
03:33Sunday night's heat had Johnny Jigbox from Bunbury NWA, our Central Coast landscaper Kalani, and
03:46forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta, plus our barber from Ballarat Harry, and our
03:56singing skier from Jindabyne Kesha.
04:01At the end of the show, the judges saved Kesha from the public vote for her amazing cover of
04:07Olivia Newton-John's Hopelessly Devoted to You.
04:11Here's a reminder of what went down.
04:16From coast to coast, the country tuned in for an all-Aussie showdown.
04:21This one's for you, Australia, let's do this.
04:31What a way to kick off the show, man.
04:35Nice work!
04:36It was so exciting, I 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?
05:03That whole angsty stuff, you're a nicer guy than that.
05:07Artists grow, and I think...
05:08He'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.
05:18That's the real Amy there in 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.
05:32Considering that was like my first time moving that much, I think I did pretty okay.
05:36Yeah.
05:37And one idol delivered a performance Australia won't forget.
05:41I'm hopelessly 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 Save is like, I can't even comprehend it.
06:01Now, the moment has arrived.
06:03Some of the performances have been so full of heart, and 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've 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, and I don't want to go.
06:21It'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 like Spotify and Apple
06:38Music.
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?
06:47Indeed, you know, like the kids have stepped up.
06:50The performances are like on another level, and I don't think we could be prouder.
06:54Like, we've travelled the whole country to find these people.
06:58Yes, you have.
06:58And you guys should be very proud of yourselves.
07:01My 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.
07:11So 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.
07:30And 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 with lots of love and comments for our idols.
07:46Make sure you follow us at Australian Idol on TikTok, Instagram, and Facebook to join the conversation.
07:51You're not texting, you are doing something work-related there with your own.
07:55No, we're never on the job. No way.
07:56But the comments...
07:58Comments are already rolling in your shortcut.
08:01Over on Facebook, everyone just love, love, loved Aussie Music Week, which we all agree.
08:06Phoebe from Jarvis Bay says her dog Lola howled along to all the high notes.
08:10So sorry to run at Jarvis Bay about that one.
08:13Ricky Stewart from Broome said he wished he had more than 10 votes to use, and a lot of people
08:17agree.
08:18Very hard to use the 10 votes.
08:19On Instagram, plenty of excitement about tonight's special guest.
08:23Our ARIA award-winning Bujira is in the house.
08:26Woo-hoo!
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, to prove to you that they deserve a spot in the top eight.
08:45Then we reveal which idol will be leaving the competition for goods.
08:51I'm here with the five idols who've performed on Sunday night, but by the end of tonight, only four of
08:57you will survive.
08:58But of course, Kesha over here, she scored.
09:01Yeah, the judges say you've already submitted your place in the top eight.
09:05How are you feeling for your fellow idols who are on the chopping block tonight?
09:08Oh, I mean, I love every single person that I've met in this competition, and they all have my heart,
09:14like I said the other night.
09:15So, I'm just giving them my love and support and positiveness, and it doesn't matter what happens,
09:22because I just think they're all amazing and they're all gonna do great things.
09:25So, love you all.
09:26You're like a care badge, pushing out the love to them.
09:28Well, the wait is nearly over, Australia.
09:31We're gonna reveal your votes and your verdict when Idol returns after the break.
09:45This is Idol, we are live, and it is results time.
09:49Yes, it is.
09:50On Sunday night, these singers performed for your votes.
09:54Tonight, their goal is to make it safely into the top eight.
09:59We have four spots available, but one is already taken by the judges save, Kesha over there in the lounge.
10:08So, the two idols from this group with the fewest votes will sing again to show Australia why they deserve
10:15to be here next week.
10:17Then one of those two will be eliminated tonight.
10:20This means absolutely everything.
10:25Verdict Time Australia, let's find out how you voted.
10:30In no particular order, we will bring you over one at a time.
10:36First up, Harry.
10:40Come on over here, buddy.
10:43You are our barber from Ballarat.
10:46On Sunday night, you sang The Living End's White Noise.
10:49Some of the judges loved it.
10:51But it's Australia who has the final say.
10:54You ready to find out the result, buddy?
10:56For sure.
10:57Yeah, either way, I'm happy.
10:58Happy.
10:59Okay.
11:00Well, Harry, Australia voted, and I can now reveal that you are in the bottom two.
11:15Harry, it's not the news you want to hear, right?
11:18No, not at all, obviously, after last week, the bottom two again.
11:22But that's, yeah, it's another opportunity to sing, and 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're surprised by this?
11:36It's never good to see a singer in the bottom two.
11:38I'm not surprised.
11:39Him surprised?
11:40No.
11:41No, Kyle's not surprised.
11:43He 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, and, you know, you've got to remember where Kyle's coming from.
11:56We're at top ten now, and it's like, someone needs to go home, so don't hold your head low.
12:03It's just a part of the competition.
12:05For sure.
12:06Yeah, thank you so much.
12:06Okay, Harry.
12:08Over to the danger zone.
12:11All right, you guys.
12:13Next up.
12:20Kalani.
12:26Kalani, our landscaper from the central coast of New South Wales.
12:31How's your heart right now?
12:32It's racing.
12:33Yeah?
12:34That's for sure, yeah.
12:34I'm definitely nervous.
12:36Yeah, I'm nervous.
12:38Okay.
12:40Kalani, you gave us the iconic Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House.
12:44Should we find out the results?
12:47Let's find out.
12:48And find out if your idol dream is over, or whether you're safe and into the top eight.
12:55All right.
12:56All right.
12:57After the nation voted, I can confirm, you are safe.
13:12Well done, congratulations.
13:14You are in the top eight, my friend.
13:16Thank you so much.
13:18Good job.
13:20Good job.
13:21All right.
13:22All right.
13:22Come on over here, John and Jacinta.
13:25One of you is safe.
13:27And unfortunately, one of you isn't.
13:29Johnny Duke Box, 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.
13:42Are you ready to find out where you stand?
13:43I am.
13:44Let's just get it over with.
13:46And 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.
14:00And I'm just, you know, I'm just here with John right now.
14:03And either way, whatever happens, I'm proud of us both.
14:06Okay.
14:09The next name that I read out is safe.
14:12And through to the top eight.
14:15And that singer is...
14:22John.
14:37Well done, John.
14:39Congratulations.
14:40You 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 feel?
14:53Did you expect that?
14:55Look, I mean, no one comes into this expecting to be in the bottom two.
14:59But, you know, I've been in bottom places for a long time.
15:03So, I'm just going to enjoy the next performance and have fun if it's my last one.
15:07And thanks for voting for me anyway.
15:10That's the way.
15:11Good attitude, girlfriend.
15:13Come over here and join us, Harry.
15:15Now, having received the least amount of votes from Sunday night,
15:19unfortunately you both face elimination.
15:21Which means you'll sing again 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.
15:39How does that sit with you?
15:41I mean, it's just difficult, right?
15:43Because they got through all these challenges.
15:45I just think that they should try and see this as positive as they can.
15:50You know, we are at the pointy end of the whole competition.
15:53They have done so well.
15:54So, I hope they get out there and just give it everything they have.
15:57Just remind everyone how great they are.
15:59Absolutely.
16:01Marsha, it's live TV.
16:04And this is a crucial moment for Harry and Jacinta.
16:07How much pressure are they under right now?
16:10You know, a lot of pressure.
16:11I was watching the first song, you know, that they sang, you know, the group thing.
16:14And I was saying that, Kyle, you know, we don't have television shows anymore where people learn the craft of
16:20being on television.
16:21And that's one of the best things about the show.
16:24Yeah.
16:25You know, you learn to wait.
16:26You learn to sort of step up when you have to.
16:28And I think everyone has done a sterling job.
16:32Not just that, Marsha, but like the performances.
16:34And they're up early.
16:35And they're learning new songs every week.
16:36And they're learning group songs.
16:38And they've got to have their second song if they don't get through tonight.
16:41It's the best training group.
16:43They're doing interviews.
16:44Yeah.
16:45It's relentless.
16:46They're working.
16:47They're working.
16:47They're working.
16:49And that's totally impressive.
16:50It's wonderful.
16:51It is.
16:51Yeah.
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.
17:00You were both the weakest on the show on that Sunday night.
17:04Australia's got it right.
17:06Prove to us why you deserve to stay here.
17:08So best of luck to both of them.
17:10Okay.
17:11Okay.
17:11Well, Harry and Jacinta, face elimination, performing under this pressure.
17:16It's just not easy.
17:17No.
17:18First 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,
17:32singing Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara, please welcome Jacinta.
17:42Cheers!
17:43It's so great!
17:49Cheers!
18:04elected existed
18:06No limits, she craves attention, she praises an image, she prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
18:18There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
18:22And you 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, they'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, they'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 learnt that Jacinta and Harry from Sunday night's 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 just a tour
21:50She smiles politely back at you
21:53You stare politely right on through some sort of window to your right
22:01She goes left and you'll stay right
22:05Between the lines of fear and blame
22:09You'll begin to wonder why you came
22:13And where did I go wrong?
22:15I lost a friend somewhere alone in the bitterness
22:20And how would I stay up with you all night?
22:25Had I known how to save a life?
22:29If I would have stayed 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.
23:00You 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,
23:12let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two.
23:15So well done for performing
23:17and also well done for taking criticism on like live television.
23:22Because like, no, it's, it's one thing to read it as a comment online
23:27because, you know, we all get that.
23:29We all, it's not always positive online.
23:31But to go like, you know, to handle that
23:33and I think you did it with grace and maturity.
23:37And so well done, man.
23:38This has been a real journey for you.
23:40I'm proud of you.
23:40I really appreciate it.
23:41Thanks.
23:45You know, and Harry, as I said from the get-go,
23:47from the very beginning,
23:48you've got one of the finest rock voices I've heard for a long time.
23:52And I really hope that this is not the end of your journey.
23:55Well done, man.
23:55Thank you, Marsha.
23:56Cheers.
23:59Great job tonight, Harry, Harry.
24:02We loved that.
24:02You know what?
24:03That's what I meant when 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.
24:12I believed everything you did then.
24:14That's where you need to be.
24:15If you get another chance, stay in that pocket.
24:18That's what, you own that pocket.
24:19Thank you, Charles.
24:20Yeah, cheers.
24:23All right, everybody.
24:24Make some noise for Harry.
24:27And welcome back to beautiful Jacinta.
24:32All right, you guys.
24:33The time has come.
24:36Who is safe and who goes home tonight?
24:41Hit the lights.
24:42Let's do this.
24:45Love 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 and you decided.
25:02That's all.
25:02Jacinta and Harry sing again.
25:06And now, the idol, safe and into the top eight,
25:12is...
25:15...is...
25:17...
25:17...
25:17...
25:27Jacinta.
25:35Congratulations, Jacinta.
25:37You are through to the top 8 of Australian idol.
25:40Are you excited to sing again next week?
25:42Oh, I'm so hella excited.
25:44Let's go.
25:46You're officially in the top 8.
25:48go and celebrate in the lounge, Jacinta.
25:54Unfortunately, though, for 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. It'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 has been amazing.
26:20Obviously, all the friends that I've made, it's been phenomenal.
26:23Some of them aren't here, but some 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, truly.
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 crazy. It's really unique.
26:39You 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, believe 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.
26:58Good luck, man.
26:59I hope to see you in the future.
27:01Nice to meet you.
27:02And you're a nice bloke, too.
27:03Super nice.
27:08Harry, we have seen you grow so much in the competition,
27:11and it has been incredible to watch.
27:13You have such an amazing talent,
27:15and I can't wait to see what you do next.
27:17Everybody, please give it up one more time for Harry.
27:27OK, that was the outcome of Sunday's show.
27:31But up next, who did you vote to save from last night's show?
27:35Already through to the top eight is our R&B dad, Trey,
27:38who was the judge's save from last night.
27:42But for Charlie, Harlan, Wan-Wu and Samela,
27:46you voted, you decided,
27:48and for one of them, their idol dream will be over.
27:52But next, it's time for a very special performance
27:56by the ARIA award-winning Boudjara.
28:00Don't go anywhere.
28:01Idol's live voting show continues after the break.
28:15This is Idol, and we're yet to find out
28:18the voting results from last night's show.
28:20But before we announce the verdict,
28:22brace yourselves for an amazing performance coming your way.
28:25He is a two-time ARIA winner

31:44Goodness me, that was amazing
31:47Keep it going for Bujara
31:52Wow, that was so smooth, so cool
31:57Bujara, your list of accolades is 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, I guess this is my highlight
32:15I used to love watching American Idol as a kid
32:18And my mum used to have dreams
32:19That 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
32:27The song we just heard, gentlemen
32:30A suave, sexy R&B number
32:32Tell us a little bit about it
32:34Yeah, well, Gentleman is my new single
32:36I just wanted to...
32:38I like dressing up
32:39So I thought this would be the perfect song
32:42And it's out now
32:44It's from my new album, Gentleman
32:46You can pre-order
32:47It's out on the 24th of July
32:48Yeah
32:49Nice, what did you guys think?
32:51Did you love Bujara's performance?
32:54Of course
32:55You can download and stream Gentleman right now
32:58And get the new album on July 24 Australia
33:01Give it up for Bujara!
33:08Okay, it's business time
33:10And right after the break
33:11We find out who you voted into the top eight
33:14From last night's show
33:15Already there is our doting dad Trey
33:18From Melbourne, Victoria
33:21Who the judges...
33:22Who got the judges saved?
33:23And that leaves Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela
33:26All facing elimination
33:28One must go home
33:30Don't move a muscle
33:31Idol is back in a moment
33:43This is Australian Idol's live voting show
33:47And we're about to find out who stays
33:49And who goes from last night's show
33:51The tension is getting too much Scotty
33:54I 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
34:04Soulman Charlie
34:07Brisbane Ballot King Harlan
34:10And our all singing, all rapping Wanwu
34:15Plus young dad Trey
34:19And Adelaide school teacher Samela
34:23They went all out
34:25They went all out
34:25And left nothing on the stage
34:28Let's take a look at how last night played out
34:32Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
34:36One, 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
34:50Well done
34:51Hoping I've done enough
34:52But I gave it every single bit of juice that I had
34:54There's nothing left in the tank
34:56You know
34:58Some performances were untouchable
35:03That was Grammy performance right there
35:05Come on
35:06Woo
35:07R to the R to the CK
35:09R
35:10Vicky Lee girl
35:11Yeah, you're so fly
35:13Others brought the house down
35:15I wanted to let it go
35:18You'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 pocks
35:28And one idol
35:29Dared to take on
35:31Aussie 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 smacked 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
36:20Tonight's been off its head
36:23Now it all comes down to this
36:28Everyone's saying there's the best idol 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 eight?
36:41Wonder who?
36:42For the one two?
36:44And now I'm in the top ten
36:45Everyone get me through to the top eight
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 eight
37:11For 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 in 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
37:46Last night you 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
37:56How 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
38:05Australia voted
38:06And I can now reveal
38:08You
38:09Are
38:16Safe
38:19Oh my god
38:21Congratulations
38:22Thank you so much
38:22Thank you so much
38:23You are in the top eight
38:24Congratulations
38:24Go 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
38:45Okay
38:46We'll do it gently
38:47Okay
38:47Cause you sang Ricky Lee's
38:49Can't touch it
38:50And nailed it
38:51Ricky
38:52Loved it
38:53But did Australia
38:55After the nation voted
38:57I can confirm
38:59That you are
39:06In the bottom two
39:10Alright
39:11That really isn't the result that 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
39:20Yeah 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 this 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
39:35They're wrong
39:36Yeah
39:37We see it a lot
39:39Good people on this show go home
39:41Over to the danger zone there
39:43Wanwoo
39:43Crossing our fingers for you
39:45Oh damn
39:46Alright
39:47Lucky last
39:48Come on over Harlan
39:49And Charlie
39:51One of you
39:53Will make it
39:54safely
39:54Into the top eight
39:56While the other
39:57Will be singing for your life
39:59Alongside
40:00Wanwoo
40:00Harlan
40:01You took on the mighty
40:03John Farnham last night
40:06Yes
40:07A risky move
40:08That may or may not have paid off
40:10You know how protective
40:12Aussies are of Farnsey
40:13Don't you?
40:15Yes
40:15Yes
40:16Alright
40:17Charlie
40:17You were a little bit under the weather
40:19Last night
40:20But you still powered
40:21Through your performance
40:22Let's hope
40:23Your cold
40:24Didn't impact your chances there
40:26Hopefully not
40:27Alright
40:27The next name
40:29I read out
40:30Is safe
40:31And through
40:32To the top
40:33Eight
40:34And that person
40:37Is
40:38Harlan
40:39Harlan
40:39Harlan
40:39Fan
40:55Harlan
40:56You my friend
40:58Are in the top eight
40:59Congratulations
40:59You survived another week
41:01Go and celebrate
41:02With the others
41:02Yes
41:05So unfortunately, Charlie, you've been voted into the bottom two, what do you make of that?
41:11You know, it's unfortunate, I had a cold and I felt disappointed that I couldn't give it
41:16everything I had the other night, and sometimes that's the way that it is.
41:19But you did, you gave it everything you possibly could.
41:22Yeah, yeah.
41:24Wanwoo, come over here and join us.
41:26Wanwoo and Charlie, you both need to sing for us again, which I'm personally excited
41:32about.
41:33For one of you, though, it will be the last time on the Idol stage.
41:37Head backstage, both of you, and get ready to perform tense times for Wanwoo and Charlie,
41:44both receiving the least amount of votes from last night's shot.
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, who would I have expected
41:58to 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 the 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.
42:23Kyle, no doubt there have been some times in your career where you've had some high pressure
42:27moments like this.
42:28How do you stay focused?
42:29Oh, here we go.
42:30When it matters most.
42:31What a week to bring that up.
42:33I can't think of anything.
42:36Ricky just went off script then.
42:38She just wanted to ask that.
42:39I've had a few moments.
42:41High stakes.
42:42It is high stakes.
42:43You know what?
42:44Last night was the toughest one.
42:46We couldn't figure out.
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 more 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.
43:05Well, their future is far from certain.
43:08Both 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.
43:21Our 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, make some noise for Charlie.
43:54Somebody said you've got a new friend.
44:03Does he love you better than I can?
44:11Yeah, I know it's stupid, but I just got to see it for myself.
44:20I'm in the corner watching you kiss her.
44:24Oh, no, no.
44:27I'm not giving him up.
44:30I'm not the guy you're taking home.
44:35Oh, oh, oh, oh.
44:36I keep dancing on my own.
44:40Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
44:45But 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.
45:14A lot better.
45:15Hey, sorry you're in the bottom two, but great job tonight.
45:18If 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.
45:29Charlie, your consistency is one of the best things.
45:32And, you know, as Amy and I are so aware, and I think Carl would be, when you're not 100%,
45:38it's so hard to give a performance.
45:39But you know what?
45:40The audience don't know that.
45:42So you've just got to step up and do what you've got to do.
45:45Okay?
45:45And that's what you did well, Charlie.
45:47Really well.
45:47You did great.
45:48Thank you, Marcia.
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.
46:03Like, 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,
46:10but also the pain you've been through and everything.
46:13And I just, no matter what happens, I really hope you get in the studio and tell all these
46:18stories because I'm excited for your career.
46:21Oh, thank you, thank you.
46:23That would be fantastic.
46:24Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie.
46:28How are you feeling after that?
46:30I'm feeling good.
46:30You know, I'm kind of glad I got a chance to sing again and be like, hey, look, this is
46:34what I can do when I'm at full health.
46:36Oh, yeah.
46:36We love hearing you sing, Charlie.
46:38Love hearing.
46:39All right, Charlie, if you want to head over there right now, we're moments away from finding
46:43out 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
47:13night's show.
47:13In a last bid sing-off to show that they should stay in the competition, Charlie just gave
47:18us 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, Yassa, always cheering her on from the crowd to show she is worthy of continuing
47:40her Idol journey.
47:42Singing, price tag by Jessie J.
47:44This is Wan-Wu.
47:46I believe we have been playing for you.
48:05Wan-Wu.
48:07Unworthy.
48:09Wool for all of us.
48:10Woo!
48:10Woo!
48:11That's it.
48:13It seems like everybody's got a crowd
48:16And I wonder how they sleep at night
48:19When Brazil comes first and the truth comes second
48:22Just stop for a minute and smile
48:24Why is everybody so serious?
48:28You're acting so damn mysterious
48:30You got your heads on top
48:31And you're here so hard
48:33That you can't even have a good time
48:35Everybody look to the earth
48:39Everybody look to the earth
48:40Can you feel like 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 prize, yeah
48:55We don't want your arm to change your chair
48:59We don't need your care
49:00We don't need your pain
49:01We want to make the world dance
49:04Forget about the prize, yeah
49:23Thank you everyone
49:26And Wanwoo, 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.
49:39But I think, you know, what I've really learnt about you
49:43and loved about you is just your empathy
49:45and just you're such a kind-hearted person.
49:47You know, back when we were doing the challenges,
49:49you were so good with Jacinta, I remember that.
49:52And the other night you shouted out Sophie.
49:54And I just think that that's just such an important thing as an artist
49:59to never lose that.
50:00And that's what makes you the whole package.
50:02So good luck tonight.
50:04Another amazing performance.
50:06Thank you, Amy.
50:12That was one of your strongest performances.
50:16You really, you've stepped up, you've stepped up, you've stepped up,
50:21you know, and I mean, I don't know that you knew you could be this good.
50:26I did not.
50:27I know you didn't, but I am so proud of you and you've done so well.
50:31Juan Wu, God bless you.
50:37Juan Wu, not only have you showed to everyone that works behind the scenes,
50:42in front of the cameras, behind the cameras,
50:43what a beautiful human being you are, as Amy and Marsha pointed out,
50:47but you're a gorgeous woman.
50:49Your voice is so rich, beautiful.
50:52And you know what I, I would hate for you to go home tonight
50:57without teaching me how to do that, that hip roll thing,
51:00because that was sexy, man.
51:02No, no, no.
51:03That shit was sexy.
51:05I like it.
51:06I like it a lot.
51:09Come on, Carl, give it a go.
51:11I don't know, should I?
51:12Come on, Carl.
51:13Yes.
51:15Come on, Carl.
51:16Oh, no, no, no, no.
51:29You get a, you get a host save for that.
51:32It's a guess from us.
51:34It's a lot wobbling.
51:35I think we're still in the wrong place.
51:37Give it up for Juan Wu, everybody.
51:39Thank you, everyone.
51:43Another fantastic performance.
51:45Well done.
51:46And welcome back, Charlie.
51:49All right.
51:50Take a deep breath, everybody.
51:53The time has come.
51:54One of you is safe.
51:56And one of you will be leaving idle tonight.
52:00Hit the lights.

52:13It's your decision.
52:15The results are on this card, fully counted and verified.
52:22And we can now reveal the singer who is safe and will continue their idle journey into the top eight

53:14Well done, Charlie.
53:15You are through to the top eight.
53:17You can join the gang in the lounge now.
53:21Unfortunately, though, that does mean we need to farewell.
53:24Well, one woo, I'm so sorry.
53:27It's okay.
53:28It's okay, everybody.
53:30There's only one, one woo.

53:51One woo will be through somewhere else,
53:54and that's okay.
53:55All good things must come to an end.
53:56There's always a storm before the rainbow.
