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.
02:11Reach 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.
19:16Oh, Jacinta, you know what?
19:18Sometimes 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.
19:26And if you do go home tonight, I'm sure we'll see you again sometime in the future.
19:30Best of luck.
19:31Jacinta, your transformation has been truly, truly something to watch vocally 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.
19:46I second that.
19:48I just, the transformation is just insane.
19:50And I think, you know, when you walked into that audition room hearing such a unique voice, I'm just so
19:56proud 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, oh my
20:18gosh, I've gotten to do this.
20:19You know, like since my audition to now, it'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 Harry, will be
20:40leaving 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 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.
21:13He's our barber from Ballarat in Victoria.
21:15Singing how to save a life from the fray.
21:19This is Harry.
21:22Harry.
21:40Step one, you say we need to talk.
21:45He walks, you say sit down.
21:48It's just a tool.
21:50She smiles politely back at you.
21:53You stare politely right on through some sort of window to your right.
22:02She goes left and you'll stay right.
22:06Between the lines of fear and blame, you'll begin to wonder why you came.
22:13And where did I go wrong?
22:15I lost a friend somewhere alone in the bitterness.
22:21And I would have stayed up with you all night.
22:25Yet I've known how to save a life.
22:29I would have stayed up with you all night.
22:33Yet I've known how to save a life.
22:50Well done, Harry.
22:53Look, I loved...
22:56I 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.
23:05Even doing something like that without guitars or stands or anything.
23:09I think I would even struggle.
23:11Um, let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two.
23:15So, well done for performing and also well done for taking criticism on, like, live television.
23:22Because, like, no, it's one thing to read it as a comment online.
23:27Because, you know, we all get that.
23:29We all...
23:29It's not always positive online.
23:31But to go, like, you know, to handle that.
23:34And 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, from the very beginning, you've got one of the
23:49finest 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.
24:00Great 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...
24:18You own that pocket.
24:19Thank you, Charles.
24:20Yeah, cheers.
24:23All right, everybody.
24:24Make some noise for Harry.
24:28And welcome back to beautiful Jacinta.
24:32All right, you guys.
24:34The 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.
24:47Jacinta and Harry, it'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.
25:02That's all, Jacinta and Harry.
25:04Sing again.
25:06And now, the idol, safe, and into the top eight, is...
25:26Jacinta!
25:34Congratulations, Jacinta, you are through to the top eight of Australian Idol.
25:40Are you excited to sing again next week?
25:42Oh, I'm so hella excited.
25:43Let's go.
25:46You're officially in the top eight.
25:48Go 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.
26:02We 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.
26:10It's been awesome.
26:11All the opportunities, I suppose, that we've had,
26:13and just working with such high industry-level people
26:15and sort of getting to experience what it's like being this high up in show business
26:19has been amazing.
26:20And obviously, 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.
26:30Truly.
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.
26:38It's crazy.
26:38It's really unique.
26:39It's a crazy voice.
26:40You should go and flex that.
26:41And just keep working, man.
26:42You know, that's what this industry is about.
26:44You just keep working, believe in yourself, and hopefully all goes well.
26:47It can be a model, it can be a hairdresser, it can be a singer.
26:50What 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.
27:03Super nice.
27:04You don't take it.
27:06Yes.
27:08Harry, we have seen you grow so much in the competition, and it has been incredible to
27:13watch.
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.
27:27Okay.
27:28That was the outcome of Sunday's show, but up next, who did you vote to save from last
27:34night's show?
27:35Already through to the top eight is our R&B dad, Trey, who was the judge's save from last
27:40night.
27:41But for Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo, and Samella, you voted, you decided, and for one of them,
27:50their idol dream will be 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, swearing I think you like.

31:22You wish I might come in to the word in there right now.
31:26I'm gonna be a gentleman, I can't.
31:27I'm a gentleman, oh.
31:42Oh, goodness me.
31:46That 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.
32:02Amongst 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
32:19that 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,
32:30a 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,
32:39so 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 Bujara's performance?
32:53Of course.
32:55You can download and stream Gentleman right now
32:58and get the new album on July 24th, Australia.
33:01Give it up for Bujara!
33:08OK.
33:09It's business time.
33:10Right after the break,
33:11we find out who you voted into the top eight
33:14from last night's show.
33:16Already 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.
33:31Don'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
33:49and 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
33:57that we received as you voted
33:59for who you wanted to save.
34:01Last night, we saw performances
34:04from our Perth soul man, Charlie.
34:07Brisbane Ballot King, Harlan.
34:10And our all-singing, all-rapping Wanwu.
34:15Plus young dad, Trey.
34:19And Adelaide schoolteacher, Samela.
34:23They went all out
34:25and 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 someday.
34:45So individual and so different
34:47and you know what you need to do
34:49and you did it tonight.
34:51Well done.
34:51Hoping I've done enough
34:52but I gave it every single bit of juice that I had.
34:55There's nothing left in the tank, you know.
34:56All right, yeah, yeah.
34:58Some performances were untouchable.
35:03That was Grammy performance right there.
35:06Come on.
35:08R to the R to the CKR.
35:10Vicky Lee, girl.
35:11Yeah, you're so fly.
35:13Others brought the house down.
35:16I wanted to let it go.
35:19You're very real.
35:20I just want to go and have a beer with you.
35:22Amy and I are going to get a schooner
35:24or two schooners.
35:26Double parked.
35:28And one idol
35:29dared to take on
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.
35:52I'll be messed up
35:53if you can't be right here.
35:55But one hit song
35:56was turned into a moment
35:58of idol magic.
36:04You're so ready
36:05for the world stage, Trey,
36:06because you are amazing.
36:08Thank you so much.
36:09Saving our young dad
36:11from 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
36:28there's the best day to live.
36:30I have to agree.
36:31I really hope Australia
36:32has voted for me
36:33because I am just
36:35at the beginning of this journey
36:37and I have so much to show.
36:38Who's heading into
36:40the top eight?
36:41Wonder what?
36:43I've got the one, two
36:43and 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
36:56was incredible.
36:58I can't pick
36:59how this is going to go tonight.
37:00It really is anyone's game.
37:02With Trey scoring the judge save,
37:04he can relax
37:05over there in the lounge
37:07knowing he has a guaranteed place
37:09in the top eight.
37:11For Charlie, Harlan,
37:13Wanwoo and Samela,
37:15their future hangs in the balance.
37:18All right, 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.
37:40I'm good.
37:41Samela,
37:42our mum and teacher
37:43from Adelaide.
37:45Last night,
37:47you sang the iconic
37:48Aussie classic
37:49Buses and Trains.
37:51The judges loved it,
37:53but it's Australia
37:54who has the final say.
37:57How are your palms right now?
37:58Give me a little clammy palms test.
38:01Very clammy.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:04Confirmed.
38:04Okay, Samela,
38:05Australia voted
38:06and I can now reveal
38:09you
38:10are
38:16safe.
38:17Oh, my God.
38:21Congratulations, Samela.
38:22Thank you so much.
38:22You are in the top eight.
38:24Congratulations.
38:24Don't celebrate in the lounge
38:26with Trains.
38:28Well done, Samela.
38:30All right.
38:31Next up,
38:32we have got
38:34Wan Wu.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hi, girl.
38:38Hi.
38:40Oh,
38:41should we just
38:41rip the band-aid off
38:42because that face
38:43looks like...
38:44Lee, take it off.
38:45Okay.
38:46We'll do it gently.
38:47Okay,
38:48because you sang
38:48Ricky Lee's
38:49Can'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...
39:07in the bottom two.
39:10All right,
39:11that really isn't
39:12the result that you wanted,
39:13right?
39:14Not at all,
39:14not at all,
39:15but Australia voted
39:16and I just have to
39:17prove Australia wrong.
39:19Yeah, you do.
39:20100%, yeah.
39:20Yeah, you do.
39:21I can see the judges.
39:22Marsha's pointing right now.
39:24Do you want to say something,
39:24Marsha?
39:25Yeah, I think
39:25that's exactly right.
39:27You know,
39:27this is the hardest part
39:28because we don't have
39:29anything to do with this
39:31and people are watching
39:32and this is what
39:33they're voting for
39:34and I think
39:34at this point in time,
39:35mm-mm,
39:36they're wrong.
39:37Yeah.
39:37Oh, they should.
39:38We see it a lot.
39:39Good people on this show
39:40go home.
39:42Over to the danger zone there,
39:43Wan Wu.
39:43crossing our fingers for you.
39:45Oh, damn.
39:47All right,
39:47lucky last.
39:48Come on over,
39:49Harlan and Charlie.
39:51One of you
39:52will make it
39:54safely
39:55into the top eight
39:56while the other
39:57will be singing
39:57for your life
39:59alongside Wan Wu.
40:01Harlan,
40:01you took on
40:02the mighty
40:03John Farnham
40:04last night.
40:06Yes.
40:07A risky move
40:08that may
40:09or may not
40:10have paid off.
40:11You know how protective
40:12Aussies are
40:13of Farnsey,
40:14don't you?
40:14Yes.
40:15Yes.
40:16All right,
40:17Charlie,
40:17you were a little bit
40:19under the weather
40:19last night
40:20but you still
40:20powered through
40:22your performance.
40:22Let's hope
40:23your cold
40:24didn't impact
40:25your chances there.
40:26Hopefully not.
40:27All right.
40:28The next name,
40:29I read out
40:30is safe
40:31and through
40:32to the top eight
40:35and that person
40:38is
40:38Harlan!
40:52Thank you, guys.
40:55Well done, Harlan.
40:57You, my friend,
40:58are in the top eight.
40:59Congratulations.
40:59You survived
41:00another week.
41:01Go and celebrate
41:02with the others.
41:03Yes.
41:05So unfortunately,
41:07Charlie,
41:08you've been voted
41:08into the bottom two.
41:10What do you make
41:11of that?
41:11Oh, you know,
41:12it's unfortunate.
41:13I had a cold
41:14and I felt disappointed
41:15that I couldn't give it
41:16everything I had
41:16the other night
41:17and sometimes
41:17that's the way
41:18that it is.
41:19But you did.
41:20You gave it everything
41:20you possibly could.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Yeah.
41:24Wanwoo, come over here
41:25and join us.
41:26Wanwoo and Charlie,
41:28you both need to sing
41:29for us again,
41:30which I'm personally
41:31excited about.
41:33For one of you,
41:34though,
41:34it will be the last time
41:35on the Idol stage.
41:37Head backstage,
41:37both of you,
41:38and get ready
41:39to perform
41:41tense times
41:41for Wanwoo
41:42and Charlie,
41:44both receiving
41:45the least amount
41:46of votes
41:47from last night's
41:49shot.
41:50Amy,
41:51I can see
41:51that you're a little
41:52shocked with that
41:53result there.
41:53Well, it's funny,
41:55Scotty,
41:55because then I look over
41:56and I'm like,
41:57who would I have
41:58expected to go?
41:59I don't know
41:59who I would have
42:01ever expected to go.
42:02You know,
42:02it's just a really crappy
42:04part of the competition.
42:05I wish we didn't
42:06have to go through.
42:06I also didn't mean
42:07to wear the horrible
42:08red colour of the verdict.
42:10Every time it goes red,
42:11I feel like I'm
42:11triggering everyone.
42:13Sorry.
42:14I mean,
42:14it is the reality
42:15of this part
42:16of the competition.
42:17Everyone is so
42:18amazingly talented,
42:19so we are going
42:19to be losing
42:20really talented people
42:21every night.
42:23Kyle,
42:23no doubt there have
42:24been some times
42:24in your career
42:25where you've had
42:26some high-pressure
42:27moments like this.
42:28How do you stay focused
42:29when it matters most?
42:31What a week
42:32to bring that up.
42:33I can't think
42:33of anything.
42:36Ricky just went
42:36off-script then.
42:38She just wanted
42:39to pass it out.
42:39I've had a few moments.
42:41High stakes.
42:42It is high stakes.
42:43You know what?
42:44Last night
42:45was the toughest one.
42:46We couldn't figure out.
42:48I think Sunday nights
42:49we all figured out
42:50who was going to be
42:51in the bottom two,
42:51but last night
42:52that was anyone's race.
42:53Yes,
42:53it was.
42:54You know,
42:54but Ricky,
42:55you've been here.
42:56You know what this is like
42:57more than anybody,
42:59you know,
42:59and so it's not easy,
43:01but you just got to
43:01keep going,
43:02girlfriend.
43:02You sure do.
43:03That's the name
43:04of the game.
43:04That's true.
43:05Okay,
43:05well their future
43:06is far from certain.
43:08Both will perform again
43:09to show that they have
43:09what it takes
43:10to remain
43:11in the competition.
43:12One will go through
43:13to the top eight
43:13and the other one
43:15will leave for good.
43:16First up to sing
43:17is our soul man
43:18from Perth,
43:20Charlie.
43:21Our beanie boy
43:22has wowed
43:23the judges

45:36would be
45:36when you're not 100%
45:38it's so hard
45:39to give a performance
45:39but you know what
45:40the audience don't know that
45:42so you've just got to
45:43step up and do
45:43what you've got to do.
45:45Okay?
45:45And that's what you did
45:46well, Charlie.

46:44but before that,
46:45we've got to hear from Wanwoo
