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 and reach out and touch somebody.
02:07Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:09Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:11Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:14Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:20Your Australian Idol, Top Ten!
02:28Nice.
02:30Yes!
02:31Wow!
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.
02:48They 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 as your idols took on an all-Aussie music playlist.
02:58We had songs from Farnsey, Crowded House, Kylie, Tones and I, so many more.
03:04It was banger after banger on Sunday night.
03:07The first half of your Top Ten performed and it was absolutely incredible.
03:12Then, last night, the second group took to the stage and showed Australia why they are the complete package and
03:19deserving of your votes.
03:21The voting was open for each heat for 24 hours, but I can confirm voting has closed.
03:28And we are now verifying the numbers before we reveal the results.
03:33Sunday night's heat had Johnny Jukebox from Bunbury, NWA.
03:40Our central coast landscaper, Killarney.
03:45And forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta.
03:51Plus, our barber from Ballarat, Harry.
03:55And our singing skier from Jindabyne, Kesha.
04:01At the end of the show, the judges save Kesha from the public vote for her amazing cover of Olivia
04:07Newton-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.
04:22Let's do this.
04:31What a way to kick off the show, man.
04:33Baby in the summertime.
04:35Nice work.
04:36It was so exciting.
04:38I just love being on the stage with such a buzz.
04:41Dreams were made.
04:43Don't dream it so well.
04:45You just sound like heaven.
04:47You're a little sexy bastard too, aren't you?
04:50But then, the harshest critic emerged.
04:54Why no, why no, why no, all that I'm hearing from you.
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.
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...
05:58I can't even comprehend.
06:00Now, 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
06:36devices, like Spotify and Apple Music.
06:38Just get amongst it.
06:39Carla, Marsha, everyone is praising the calibre of talent this season, making each elimination
06:45get 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.
07:11I loved it.
07:11So beautiful.
07:12Amy, the two idols from each heat with the lowest votes will sing again tonight to show
07:17us 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, so I think they
07:27need 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 with lots of love and comments
07:44for our idols.
07:46Make sure you follow us at Australian Idol on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook to join
07:50the conversation.
07:51You're not texting.
07:53You are doing something work-related there with your phone.
07:55No way.
07:56No way.
07:56But the comments...
07:57No.
07:57Oh, no, I won't.
07:58The comments 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 to 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
08:17people agree.
08:18It's very hard to use the 10 votes.
08:19It's hard.
08:20On Instagram, plenty of excitement about tonight's special guest.
08:23Our ARIA award-winning Bujara is in the house.
08:26Woo-hoo!
08:28That's getting hyped as well.
08:29How good is this?
08:30But right now, I'm going to go check in on our idols down at the lounge.
08:33All righty, Scotty.
08:34Off you go.
08:35We are just minutes away from learning who from Sunday night's show is safe and who has
08:40to 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 have performed on Sunday night, but by the end of tonight, only
08:56four of you will survive.
08:58But of course, Kesha over here.
09:00She's 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?
09:09Oh, I mean, I love every single person that I've met in this competition, and they all
09:13have my heart, like I said the other night.
09:15So I'm just giving them my love and support and positiveness, and it doesn't matter what
09:21happens because I just think they're all amazing and they're all going to 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.
09:30Australia, we're going to reveal your votes and your verdict when Idol returns after the
09:35break.
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
10:06in the lounge.
10:09So the two idols from this group with the fewest votes will sing again to show Australia why
10:14they deserve to be here next week.
10:17Then one of those two will be eliminated tonight.
10:20This means absolutely everything.
10:24Verdict 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, but it's Australia who has the final say.
10:54You ready to find out the result, buddy?
10:56For sure.
10:57Yeah, either way.
10:58Happy.
10:59Happy.
11:00Okay, well, Harry, Australia voted, and I can now reveal that you are in the bottom
11:12two.
11:15Harry, it's not the news you want to hear, right?
11:18No, not at all, obviously, after last week.
11:21Bottom two again, but that's, yeah, it's another opportunity to sing, and I'm kind of happy for
11:24that.
11:25Yeah.
11:26For sure.
11:27Judges, 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.
11:42I'm not actually the way he does.
11:43He sort of gave him the KOD and everything.
11:45He said he wasn't good, and, you know, he wasn't sexy, but I totally disagree, Harry.
11:50You know, I think you did a great job, but that's from my point of view, and, you know,
11:54you've got to remember where Kyle's coming from.
11:56But we're at top ten now, and it's like, someone needs to go home, so don't hold your
12:02head low.
12:03It's just a part of the competition.
12:05For sure.
12:06Yeah, thank you so much.
12:07Okay, Harry.
12:08Over to the danger zone.
12:12All right, you guys.
12:13Next up, Kalani.
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.
12:37Yeah, I'm nervous.
12:38Okay.
12:39Kalani, 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 idle dream is over, or whether you're safe and into the top eight.
12:56All right.
12:57After the nation voted, I can confirm you are...
13:08Safe.
13:12Wow.
13:13Well done, congratulations.
13:14You are in the top eight, my friend.
13:16Thank you so much.
13:21All right, come on over here, John and Jacinta.
13:24Jacinta, one of you is safe, and unfortunately, one of you isn't.
13:30Johnny 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.
13:42Are 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.
13:51Jacinta, do you feel like everything is in line tonight for you?
13:56I mean, you know, I have all these gut feelings at the moment, and I'm just, you know, I'm
14:02just here with John right now, and either way, whatever happens, I'm proud of us both.
14:06Okay.
14:09The next name that I read out is safe, and through to the top eight.
14:37Well done, John, congratulations, you have made it into the top eight.
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, but, you know, I've
15:00been in bottom places for a long time, so I'm just going to enjoy the next performance
15:06and have fun if it's my last one, and 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, unfortunately, you both
15:20face elimination, which means you'll sing again to show Australia why you deserve to be here
15:25next week.
15:26Harry and Jacinta, head on backstage and get ready to perform again for what may be the last
15:33time.
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, so I hope they get out there and just give it everything they have.
15:57Just remind everyone how great they are.
15:59Absolutely.
16:01Marcia, it's live TV and 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
16:19learn the craft of being 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.
16:31Not just that, Marcia, but, like, the performances and they're up early and they're learning new
16:36songs every week and they're learning group songs and they've got to have their second
16:39song if they don't get through tonight.
16:41It's the best training ground.
16:43They're going to charity things, they're doing interviews.
16:44Yeah.
16:44Yeah, it's relentless.
16:46It's 24-7.
16:46They're working.
16:47Okay.
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
16:58Jacinta before they sing again?
16:59Yes, you 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, singing
17:33Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara, please welcome Jacinta.
17:59She just wants to be the first she goes.
18:05I know that she knows no limits.
18:09She craves attention.
18:11She praises an image.
18:14She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor.
18:18There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark.
18:23You should know you're beautiful just the way you are.
18:27You don't have to change a thing.
18:31The world could change its heart.
18:33No stars, you're beautiful.
18:35With stars, we're beautiful.
18:37The world could change its heart.
18:53No stars, you're beautiful.
18:56With stars, we're beautiful.
19:16Oh Jacinta you know what sometimes you're amazing tonight's one of those nights did
19:22yourself proud that's the perfect song for you don't you think yeah and if you do go

20:38them Jacinta or Harry will be leaving the competition tonight don't go anywhere idols live verdict show
20:55you're locked on the live verdict show and before the break we learned that Jacinta and Harry from
21:01Sunday night show received the lowest number of votes Jacinta then performed in what could be her final song
21:07on the idol stage in a bid to prove why she deserves to be here now it's Harry's turn he's
21:13our barber from
21:14Ballarat in Victoria singing how to save a life from the fray this is Harry
21:40step one you say we need to talk he walks you say sit down it's just a tool she smiles
21:50politely back at you
21:53you step politely right on through some sort of window to here right she goes left and you'll stay right
22:05between the lines of fear and blame
22:09you'll begin to wonder why you came and where did I go wrong I lost a friend somewhere
22:18alone in the bitterness and how would have stayed up with you all night had I known how to save
22:28a life
22:29If I would have stayed up with you all night
22:33Yet I know how to save a life
22:50Well done, Harry.
22:52I, look, I, I loved, I have loved watching you grow.
22:59I remember your audition, you even wrote the lyrics in your arm, remember that?
23:02I do remember that.
23:03And just to see where you've come, like even doing something like that
23:07without guitars or stands or anything, like I think I would even struggle
23:11let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two.
23:15So well done for performing and also well done for taking criticism
23:19on 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, we 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.
23:40Thank you. I really appreciate it. Thanks.
23:45You know, and Harry, as I said from the get-go,
23:47from the very beginning, you've got one of the finest rock voices
23:50I'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. Cheers.
23:59Great job tonight, Harry Harry.
24:02We 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.
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. Thank you.
24:23All right, everybody, make some noise for Harry.
24:27And welcome back, the beautiful Jacinta.
24:32All right, you guys, the time has come.
24:36Who is safe and who goes home tonight?
24:41Hit the lights.
24:42Let's do this.
24:44Love you, Jacinta.
24:47Jacinta and Harry.
24:49It'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, Jacinta and Harry.
25:04Sing again.
25:06And now, the idol, safe,
25:10and into the top eight is...
25:23Is...
25:26Jacinta!
25:35Congratulations Jacinta, you are through to the top eight of Australian Idol, are you
25:40excited to sing again next week?
25:42I'm so hella excited, let's go.
25:46You're officially in the top eight, go and celebrate in the lounge, Jacinta.
25:54Unfortunately though, for Harry, that does mean your time on the Idol stage ends tonight,
25:59it is such a shame to see you leave the competition, we have loved having you with us.
26:04Harry, what's been the highlight of your Idol journey so far?
26:09There's been so many, it's been awesome.
26:11All the opportunities I suppose that we've had and just working with such high industry
26:15level people and sort of getting to experience what it's like being this high up in show business
26:19has been amazing.
26:20Obviously all the friends that I've made, it's been phenomenal, some of them aren't here,
26:24some of them are here, but 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, you really do have an incredible rock voice, man, it's really unique.
26:39It's a crazy voice.
26:40You should go and flex that.
26:41And just keep working, man, you know, that's what this industry is about, you just keep working,
26:45believe in yourself and hopefully all goes well.
26:47He can be a model, he can be a hairdresser, he can be a singer, the guy.
26:51What can't he do?
26:52You've got so many opportunities and options, unlike 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, super nice.
27:04Don't you take it.
27:06Yes.
27:08Harry, we have seen you grow so much in the competition and it has been incredible to watch.
27:13You have such an amazing talent and 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, who was the judge's save from last night.
27:41But for Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo and Samela, you voted, you decided, and for one of them, their idol dream will
27:51be over.
27:52But next, it's time for a very special performance by 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 the voting results from last night's show.
28:20But before we announce the verdict, brace yourselves for an amazing performance coming your way.
28:25He is a two-time ARIA winner with over 50 million streams to his name.
28:30Australia, this is Boudjara!
28:40You got me checking myself in the mirror, wearing a thing you like.

30:34Let me get this overtime and work it out with you, yeah.
30:39Tonight it's all yours.
30:41Anything you want and more.
30:43Girl, I'll be nothing less than a gentleman.
30:46Girl, I'll be nothing less than a gentleman.
31:16Oh, girl, I'll be nothing less than a gentleman.
31:21You wish I might come in to the world and it's right now to the gentleman of a gentleman, oh.
31:43Oh, goodness me.
31:46That was amazing.
31:47Keep it going for Bujara.
31:52Wow, that was so smooth, so cool.
31:55Oh, Fudra, your list of accolades is huge for someone so young.
32:02Amongst 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, won 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 that I would be singing on American Idol
32:21and here we are.
32:22Here you are, an Australian Idol, doing your thing.
32:25You're suave, gentlemen, you.
32:28The song we just heard, gentlemen, a suave, sexy R&B number.
32:32Tell us a little bit about it.
32:34Yeah, well, gentlemen is my new single.
32:36I just wanted to...
32:38I like dressing up, so I thought this would be the perfect song.
32:42And 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 Fudra's performance?
32:54Of course.
32:54You can download and stream Gentleman right now
32:58and get the new album on July 24th, Australia.
33:01Give it up for Fudra.
33:08OK, it's business time.
33:10Right after the break, we find out who you voted into the top eight
33:14from last night's show.
33:16Already there is our doting dad, Trey, from Melbourne, Victoria.
33:21Who got the judges saved?
33:23And that leaves Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela all facing elimination.
33:28Wan must go home.
33:31Don't move a muscle.
33:32Idol 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.
33:52The tension is getting too much, Scotty.
33:54I can't handle it.
33:55It's a lot.
33:55It'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.
34:02Last night, we saw performances from our Perth soul man, Charlie.
34:07Brisbane Ballard 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 and left nothing on the stage.
34:28Let's take a look at how last night played out.
34:33Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
34:36One, two, three, come on.
34:39The Aussie party kept on coming.
34:42I said I had a dream.
34:45Sunday.
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.
34:52I gave it every single bit of juice that I had.
34:55There'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.
35:10Vicky Lee, girl, yeah, you're so fly.
35:14Others brought the house down.
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 dared to take on Aussie music royalty.
35:34Oh!
35:35What an expensive touch of paradise!
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.
35:52I'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.
36:21Tonight's been off its head.
36:24Now it all comes down to this.
36:28Everyone's saying there's the best day at 11.
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 Woman!
36:43Wonder Woman 2!
36:44And now I'm in the top ten.
36:45Get me through to the top eight.
36:51What a night!
36:53Everyone brought their A game
36:55and every performance was incredible.
36:58I 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.
37:12For Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela,
37:15their future hangs in the balance.
37:17All right, everybody.
37:19Let's do this.
37:20Hit the lights.
37:23Idols, in no particular order.
37:26When we call your name, come on over.
37:30First up, Samela.
37:38Hello, how are you?
37:40Hello, guys.
37:40I'm good.
37:41Samela, our mum and teacher from Adelaide.
37:45Last night, you sang the iconic Aussie classic,
37:50Buses and Trains.
37:51The judges loved it,
37:52but it's Australia who has the final say.
37:56How are your palms right now?
37:58Give me a little clammy, clammy palms test.
38:01Very clammy.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:04Confirmed.
38:04Okay, Samela, Australia voted
38:06and I can now reveal
38:09you are safe.
38:17Oh, my God.
38:21Congratulations, Samela.
38:22Thank you so much.
38:22You are in the top eight.
38:24Congratulations.
38:24Go and celebrate in the lounge with Trey.
38:27Well done, Samela.
38:30All right.
38:31Next up, we have got Wan Wu.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hi, girl.
38:38Hi.
38:39Oh, should we just rip the band-aid off?
38:42Because that face looks like...
38:44Please take it off.
38:45Okay.
38:46We'll do it gently.
38:47Okay, because you sang Ricky Lee's Can't Touch It.
38:50And nailed it.
38:51Ricky loved it, but did Australia.
38:55After the nation voted,
38:57I can confirm
38:59that you are...
39:07in the bottom two.
39:10All right.
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.
39:19Yeah, 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, I think that's exactly right.
39:27You 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,
39:35mm-mm, they're wrong.
39:37Yeah.
39:37Oh, there she is.
39:38We see it a lot.
39:39Good people on this show go home.
39:42Over to the danger zone there, Wan Wu.
39:44crossing our fingers for you.
39:46Oh, damn.
39:46All right, lucky last.
39:48Come on over, Harlan and Charlie.
39:51Harlan!
39:52One of you will make it safely
39:54into the top eight
39:56while the other will be singing for your life
39:59alongside Wan Wu.
40:01Harlan, you took on the mighty John Farnham last night.
40:06Yes.
40:06A risky move that may or may not have paid off.
40:11You know how protective Aussies are of Farnsie, don't you?
40:15Yes.
40:15Yes?
40:16All right.
40:17Charlie, you were a little bit under the weather last night
40:20but you still powered through your performance.
40:23Let's hope your cold didn't impact your chances there.
40:26Hopefully not.
40:27All right.
40:27The next name I read out is safe
40:31and through to the top eight.
40:35And that person is...
40:39Harlan!
40:41Harlan!
40:43Harlan!
40:45Harlan!
40:47Harlan!
40:49Harlan!
40:49Harlan!
40:52Thank you, guys.
40:55Well done, Harlan.
40:56Harlan, you, my friend, are in the top eight.
40:59Congratulations.
40:59You survived another week.
41:01Go and celebrate with the others.
41:03Yes.
41:06So, unfortunately, Charlie,
41:08you've been voted into the bottom two.
41:10What do you make of that?
41:11You know, it's unfortunate.
41:13I had a cold and I felt disappointed
41:15that 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.
41:20You gave it everything you possibly could.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Yeah.
41:23Wan Wu, come over here and join us.
41:26Wan Wu and Charlie,
41:28you both need to sing for us again,
41:30which I'm personally excited about.
41:33For one of you, though,
41:34it will be the last time on the Idol stage.
41:37Head backstage, both of you,
41:38and get ready to perform tense times
41:41for Wan Wu and Charlie,
41:43both receiving the least amount of votes
41:47from last night's shot.
41:50Amy, I can see that you're a little shocked
41:53with that result there.
41:54Well, it's funny, Scotty,
41:55because then I look over and I'm like,
41:57who 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
42:09of the verdict.
42:10Every time it goes red,
42:11I feel like I'm triggering everyone.
42:13Sorry.
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
42:20really talented people every night.
42:23Kyle, no doubt there have been
42:24some 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.
42:32I can't think of anything.
42:36Ricky just went off script then.
42:38She just wanted to ask her.
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,
42:49we all figured out who we were going to be
42:51in 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,
43:01but 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.
43:08Both will perform again
43:09to show that they have what it takes
43:10to remain in the competition.
43:12One will go through to the top eight
43:13and 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
43:23with 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.
43:54Somebody said you've 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've given him up
44:30I'm not the guy you're taking home
44:34Oh-ho-ho
44:36I keep dancing on my own
44:44But you don't see me standing here
44:57Thank you. Thank you.
45:02Oh, Charlie
45:04You've got a great voice
45:05You're a great guy
45:06Always over deliver
45:36How's the cold going?
45:38100% it's so hard to give a performance
45:39But you know what the audience don't know that
46:10So you've just got to step up and do what you've got to do
46:11You've been through and everything
46:12And I just no matter what happens
46:15I really hope you get in the studio
46:16And tell all these stories
46:47Because I'm excited for your career
46:48Then we'll find out who is leaving Idol for good
46:52Charlie or Wanwoo
46:53Stay with us
46:54Idle
46:55We'll be back right after this
47:06You're watching Idol and we are live
47:08Before the break we found out Wanwoo 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 Wanwoo's moment
47:25Wanwoo is our all singing, all rapping star performer
47:30We have been amazed by her performances week after week
47:34With mum Yasa 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 Wanwoo
48:12It 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've got your sits on top and your heels so high
48:33That you can't even have a good time
48:36Everybody look to the up
48:39Everybody look to the right
48:40Can you feel that?
48:43You'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 wanna make the world dance
48:53Forget about the price tag
48:55We don't want ya
48:57We don't want ya
48:57Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching
48:59We don't need ya
48:59We don't need ya
49:26One woo
49:27One woo
49:28Just up there doing what you were born to do
49:30Thank you
49:34I mean, we say it each week
49:37Just 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
49:47Thank you
49:47You know, back when we were doing the challenges
49:49You were so good with Jacinta
49:51I remember that
49:52And the other night you shouted out Sophie
49:54And I just think that that's just such a
49:57It's such an important thing as an artist to never lose that
50:00And that's what makes you the whole package
50:02So, good luck tonight
50:04Another amazing performance
50:05Thank you, Amy
50:12That was one of your strongest performances
50:15You really are
50:17You've stepped up
50:19You've stepped up
50:20You've stepped up
50:21You know
50:21And I mean
50:22I don't know that you knew you could be this good
50:26I did not
50:27I know you didn't
50:28But I am so proud of you
50:29And you've done so well
50:31Thank you
50:32Juan Wu, God bless you
50:37Juan Wu, not only have you showed to everyone
50:40That works behind the scenes
50:41In front of the cameras
50:42Behind the cameras
50:43What a beautiful human being you are
50:45As Amy and Marsha pointed out
50:47But you're a gorgeous woman
50:49Your voice is so rich
50:52Beautiful
50:52And you know what I
50:55I would hate for you to go home tonight
50:57Without teaching me how to do that
50:59That hip roll thing
51:00Because that was sexy
51:01Nuh-uh
51:02Nuh-uh, no
51:02That shit was sexy
51:05I like it
51:06I like it
51:07I like it a lot
51:09Come on, Kyle
51:10Give it a go

52:26and will continue their idle journey into the top eight
52:30and it is...

53:06means the world.
53:07I will not take this for light, I'm coming back and coming back strong, thank you, thank you so much.
53:14Well done Charlie, you are through to the top 8, you can join the gang in the lounge now.
53:21Unfortunately though, that does mean we need to farewell.
53:24Wanwoo, I'm so sorry, it's okay.
53:28It's okay everybody, there's only one Wanwoo, this is not the end, you're gonna see me again.

53:41come so far, I have come so so so far, I'm not stopping here.

53:52Wanwoo will be through somewhere else and that's okay, all good things must come to an end, there's always a
53:57storm before the rainbow, I'm fine.
54:00Yes you are.
54:02Judges, anything you want to say before Wanwoo leaves the auto stage.
54:07You know, I'm Wanwoo, I thank you for your contribution, I thank you for your heart, I thank you for
54:11your family and the support that they've given you.
54:13That's why you're so strong, because you know there's more to life than this.
54:18Okay, well done.
54:21Girlfriend.
54:23Hey Wanwoo, from someone that came from nothing, and I mean I came from less than nothing, anyone can do
54:32anything so long as they put their mind to it.
54:34You got the skills, you got the profile, go for gold honey, go for gold.
54:41Girlfriend, you are such a vibe from meeting you at auditions to now, my gosh you are so talented and
54:48unique and you're an inspiration to so many people and I know we're going to see plenty more of you
54:52in the future.
