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.

01:34You think we stopped and you'll take a look now.
01:38Yeah.

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

07:56But 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

08:35We 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

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

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
17:38Yeah
17:38Yeah
17:38Yeah
17:49Yeah
17:59Holy crap
18:00Yeah
18:00Yeah
18:00She just wanted to be the first she goes
18:04I know that she knows no limits.
18:09She 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.
18:23And you should know you're beautiful just the way you are.
18:28You won't have to change a thing, the world could change.
18:32It's hard, no stars, you're beautiful.
18:35With stars, we're beautiful.
18:40Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
18:48You won't have to change a thing, the world could change.
18:52It's hard, no stars, you're beautiful.
18:56With stars, we're beautiful.
19:16Oh, Jacinta, you know what, sometimes you're amazing.
19:20Tonight's one of those nights.
19:22Did yourself proud.
19:23That's the perfect song for you, don't you think?
19:25Yeah.
19:25And if you do go home tonight, I'm sure we'll see you again sometime in the future.
19:31Best of luck.
19:31Jacinta, your transformation has been truly, truly something to watch.
19:36Vocally, as well as the way you present yourself now.
19:40And you should be very proud of yourself regardless, Jacinta.
19:42Thank you so much, Marsha. Thank you.
19:46I second that.
19:48I just, the transformation is just insane.
19:51And 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.
19:59You know, I 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.
20:07I really appreciate that.
20:10Jacinta, you gorgeous thing.
20:12How did that feel?
20:13That felt really good.
20:14I felt like I was looking at all these beautiful people in the crowd and just being like,
20:18Oh 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.
20:24I can't explain it.
20:24It felt great.
20:25Yep.
20:26You've done an amazing job every step of the way.
20:28Give it up for Jacinta, everybody.
20:33All right.
20:34After the break, Harry will perform and then we'll find out which one of them, Jacinta or
20:39Harry, will be leaving the competition tonight.
20:42Don't go anywhere.
20:43Idols 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's show received
21:02the lowest number of votes.
21:04Jacinta then performed in what could be her final song on the Idol stage in a bid to prove
21:09why she deserves to be here.
21:11Now it's Harry's turn.
21:13He's our barber from Ballarat in Victoria singing how to save a life from the fray.
21:19This is Harry.
21:21This is Harry.
21:25This is Harry.
21:49That's all she smiles politely back at you you step
21:57Some sort of window to hear right she goes left
22:09You'll begin
22:20Oh
22:50Well done Harry um I look I I loved I have loved what she watching you grow
22:59I remember your audition you even wrote the lyrics on your arm remember that I do remember
23:03And just to see where you've come like even doing something like that without guitars or stands or anything
23:09Like I think I would even struggle um let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two
23:14So well done for performing and also well done for taking criticism on like live television
23:22It's like no, it's it's one thing to read it as a comment online because you know
23:28We all get that we all it's not always positive online
23:31But to go like you know to handle that and I think you did it with grace and maturity and
23:37so well done man
23:38This has been a real journey for you. I'm proud of you
23:45You know and Harry as I said from the get-go from 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. Well done man. Thank you Marsha. Cheers
23:59Great job tonight Harry Harry we love that you know what that's what I meant when I said those angsty
24:05Songs that you sang that's a beautiful song. It's an emotional. I believed every word you said
24:11I believed I believed everything you did then that's where you need to be if you get another chance stay
24:17in that pocket
24:18That's what you own that pocket. Thank you. Yeah, 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 who is safe and who goes home tonight
24:40Hit the lights
24:42Let's do this
24:46Jacinta and Harry
24:48It's the moment of truth
24:51Australia based on the nationwide vote you at home had 24 hours to have your say
24:57Australia you voted and you decided that's all Jacinta and Harry sing again and
25:05And now
25:07The idol safe and into the top eight
25:12Is
25:26Jacinta
25:34Congratulations
25:35Congratulations
25:36Jacinta you are through to the top eight of Australian idol. Are you excited 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
25:53Unfortunately
25:54For 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 we've had and like just working with such high industry level people and sort of
26:16getting to experience
26:17What it's like being this high up in show business has 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
26:26I've had such a great time
26:27They're friends who have for the rest of your life Harry truly
26:30Judges 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
26:44You just keep working believe in yourself and hopefully all goes well
26:47He can be a model, he can be a hairdresser, he can be a singer
26:50What 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

31:52Wow, that was so smooth
31:54So cool
31:56Bhujara, 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, 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'll 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 gentleman
32:30A suave sexy R&B number
32:32Tell us a little bit about
32:33A little bit about it
32:34Yeah, well gentleman is my new single
32:36I just wanted to
32:37I like dressing up

33:08Okay, it's business time
33:10And right after the break
33:11We 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
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
33:44This is Australian Idol's live voting show
33:47And we're about to find out who stays and who goes
33:49From 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
34:04Soul man 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 and 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, you know
34:58Some performances were untouchable
35:03That was Grammy performance right there
35:05Come on, woo
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 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
35:44Or the craziest human being on earth
35:46Would get on this stage
35:48And sing John Farnham live
35:49And he smacked it
35:51I'll be messed up
35:53If 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
36:23Off 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
36:39Who's heading into the top 8?
36:41Wonder Woman!
36:43And 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
36:58I 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 8
37:12For Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo and Samela
37:14Their future hangs in the balance
37:17Alright 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
37:46Last 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
37:57How 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
38:08You
38:10Are
38:16Safe
38:19Oh my god
38:21Congratulations Samela
38:22Thank you so much
38:22You are in the top 8
38:24Thank you guys
38:24Congratulations
38:25Go and celebrate in the lounge with Trey
38:27Well done Samela
38:30Alright, next up we have got
38:34Wanwoo
38:36Come on over here
38:38Hi girl, hi
38:40Oh, should we just rip the bandaid off?
38:42Cause that face looks like
38:43Please take it off
38:45Okay, we'll do it gently
38:47Okay, 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
38:57I can confirm
38:59That you are
39:06In the bottom 2
39:11Alright, that really isn't the result that you wanted right?
39:13Not at all
39:14Not at all, not 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
39:26You 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, mm-mm, they'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 Wanwoo
39:44Crossing 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
39:55Into the top 8
39:56While the other will be singing for your life
39:59Alongside Wanwoo
40:00Harlan, you took on the mighty John Farnham last night
40:06Yes
40:07A risky move that may or may not have paid off
40:10You know how protective Aussies are of Farnsey, don't you?
40:14Yes
40:16Alright, Charlie, you 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
40:27The next name I read out is Safe
40:31And through to the top 8
40:35And that person
40:37Is
40:38Harlan!
40:41Harlan!
40:43Harlan!
40:43Harlan!
40:45Harlan!
40:47Harlan!
40:48Harlan!
40:49Harlan!
40:51Harlan!
40:52Harlan!
40:53Harlan!
40:54Harlan!
40:56Harlan!
40:57Harlan!
41:07Harlan!
41:09Harlan!
41:09Harlan!
41:16Harlan!
41:26Harlan!
41:27Charlie, you both need to sing for us again,
41:30which I'm personally excited about.
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
41:41tense 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.
41:54Well, it's funny, Scotty, because then I look over and I'm like,
41:56well, 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.
42:23Kyle, 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 when 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.
42:43High pressure.
42:44You 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've 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.
43:07Both 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.
43:21Our 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 got a new friend.
44:02Does he love you better than I can?
44:11Yeah, I know it's stupid, but I just got to see it for myself.
44:19I'm in the corner, watching you kiss her.
44:24Oh, no, no.
44:28And I give it in my mouth.
44:30I'm not the guy you're taking home.
44:35Oh, I keep dancing on my own.
44:40Oh, but you don't see me standing here.
45:03I'm Charlie.
45:04You've got a great voice.

46:54us idle we'll be back right after this
47:06you're watching idle and we are live for the break we found out one woo and Charlie received the fewest
47:12votes from last night's show in 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 yes and now it's one woo's
47:24moment one woo is our all singing all rapping star performer we have been amazed by her performances week

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
49:51I remember that
49:52And the other night you shouted out Sophie
49:54And I just think that that's just
49:55Such a, um, it's such an important thing as an artist
49:59To never lose that
50:00And that's what makes you the whole package
50:02So, um, good luck tonight
50:04Another amazing performance
50:05Thank you, Amy
50:12That was one of your strongest performances
50:15You really, uh, you've stepped up

50:21And 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
50:29And you've done so well
50:31Juan Wu, God bless you
