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 touch somebody.
01:54Everybody.
01:57Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:02Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:10Reach out it, reach out it, reach out it, turn somebody
02:20Your Australian Idol Top 10!
02:29Nice!
02:30Yes!
02:32Wowee!
02:34Keep the applause going for your Australian Idol judges!
02:40You're looking very sharp tonight. How are we doing?
02:43Doing great. We're doing well. How are you guys doing?
02:45Very good.
02:46That was good. They did a great job. They nailed that.
02:48Wasn't it amazing?
02:50Excellent.
02:50So good.
02:51Here we go. Well, we had two nights of spectacular performances
02:54as your idols took on an all-Aussie music playlist.
02:58We had songs from Farnsey, Crowded House, Kylie, Tones and I, so many more.
03:03It was banger after banger on Sunday night, the first half of your Top 10 performed
03:09and it was absolutely incredible.
03:12Then, last night, the second group took to the stage
03:15and showed Australia why they are the complete package
03:18and deserving of your votes.
03:21The voting was open for each heap for 24 hours,
03:24but I can confirm, voting has closed.
03:29And 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, Kalani.
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
04:05for her amazing cover of Olivia Newton-John's Hopelessly Devoted to You.
04:11Here's a reminder of what went down.
04:16From coast to coast, the country tuned in for an all-Aussie showdown.
04:21This one's for you, Australia. Let's do this.
04:31What a way to kick off the show, man.
04:35Nice work!
04:36It was so exciting.
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?
05:03That whole angsty stuff.
05:05You're a nicer guy than that.
05:07Artists grow and I think...
05:09Just 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.
05:46You've got a great gift.
05:47You did a brilliant job.
05:49Scoring our singing skier from Jindabyne, the judges save.
05:53Kesha, hey.
05:55Getting the judges saved is like...
05:58I can't even comprehend it.
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've put into that performance.
06:14I'm not ready to go home with so much more show.
06:16I want to keep living out my dreams on that stage and I don't want to go.
06:21It's not my time yet.
06:25The performances from our idols just keep getting better and better.
06:31You can stream or download every song from this series on all your favourite streaming devices like Spotify and Apple
06:38Music.
06:38Just get amongst it.
06:39Kyle and Marsha, everyone is praising the calibre of talent this season.
06:44Making each elimination get harder and harder, right?
06:47Indeed, you know, like the kids have stepped up.
06:50The performances are like on another level.
06:52And 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 us why they
07:18should 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 with lots of love and comments for our idols.
07:46Make sure you follow us at Australian Idol on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook to join the conversation.
07:51You're not texting.
07:53You are doing something work-related there with your phone.
07:55No way.
07:56For the comments.
07:57I know, 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.
08:05Phoebe 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.
08:18Very 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.
08:28That'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.
08:33Alrighty, Scotty, off you go.
08:35We are just minutes away from learning who from Sunday night's show is safe
08:39and who has to sing again, Australia, to prove to you that they deserve a spot in the top eight.
08:45Then we reveal which idol will be leaving the competition for goods.
08:51I'm here with the five idols who have performed on Sunday night,
08:54but by the end of tonight, only four of you will survive.
08:58But of course, Kesha over here, she scored.
09:01Yeah, the judges say you've already submitted your place in the top eight.
09:05How are you feeling for your fellow idols who are on the chopping block tonight?
09:09Oh, I mean, I love every single person that I've met in this competition
09:12and they all have my heart, like I said the other night.
09:15So, I'm just giving them my love and support and positiveness
09:20and it doesn't matter what happens
09:22because I just think they're all amazing and they're all going to do great things.
09:25So, love you all.
09:26You're like a care band, 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
09:34when Idol returns after the break.
09:45This is Idol, we are live and it is results time.
09:49Yes, it is.
09:50On Sunday night, these singers performed for your votes.
09:54Tonight, their goal is to make it safely into the top eight.
09:59We have four spots available, but one is already taken by the judges save,
10:05Kesha over there in the lounge.
10:09So, the two idols from this group with the fewest votes will sing again
10:13to show Australia why they deserve to be here next week.
10:17Then one of those two will be eliminated tonight.
10:21This 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.
10:55You ready to find out the result, buddy?
10:56For sure.
10:57Yeah, either way, I'm happy.
10:59Happy.
10:59Okay, well, Harry, Australia voted.
11:02And I can now reveal that you are...
11:11in the bottom two.
11:15Harry, it's not the news you want to hear, right?
11:18No, not at all, obviously, after last week.
11:21The bottom two again.
11:22But that's, yeah, it's another opportunity to sing,
11:24and I'm kind of happy for that.
11:25Yes.
11:28Judges, never good to see a singer in the bottom two.
11:31Surprised by this?
11:34What?
11:35You're surprised by this?
11:36It's never good to see a singer in the bottom two.
11:38I'm not surprised.
11:39Him surprised? No.
11:41No, Kyle's not surprised.
11:43He sort of gave him the KOD and everything.
11:45He said he wasn't good and, you know, he wasn't sexy.
11:48But I totally disagree, Harry.
11:50You know, I think you did a great job.
11:52But that's from my point of view.
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.
11:59...someone needs to go home, so don't hold your head low.
12:03It's just a part of the competition.
12:05For sure.
12:06Yeah, thank you so much.
12:07OK, Harry.
12:08Over to the danger zone.
12:11All right, you guys.
12:13Next up...
12:20Kalani.
12:26Kalani, our landscaper from the central coast of New South Wales.
12:31How's your heart right now?
12:32It's racing.
12:33Yeah?
12:34That's for sure, yeah.
12:34I'm definitely nervous.
12:37Yeah, I'm nervous.
12:38OK.
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 idol dream is over...
12:51...or whether you're safe and into the top eight.
12:55All right.
12:56After the nation voted...
13:00...I can confirm...
13:05...you are...
13:08...safe!
13:12Wow.
13:13Well done, congratulations.
13:14You are in the top eight, my friends.
13:16Thank you so much.
13:18Good job.
13:21All right, come on over here, John and Jacinta.
13:25One of you is safe.
13:27And 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.
13:41Are you ready to find out where you stand?
13:43I am.
13:44Let'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.
14:00And I'm just, you know, I'm just here with John right now.
14:03And either way, whatever happens, I'm proud of us both.
14:06OK.
14:09The next name that I read out is safe and through to the top eight.
14:15And that singer is...
14:22John.
14:37Well done, John.
14:39Congratulations.
14:40You have made it into the top eight.
14:44Wow.
14:45Which means, Jacinta, Australia has voted and has put you in the bottom two.
14:51Jacinta, how do you feel?
14:53Did you expect that?
14:55Look, I mean, no one comes into this expecting to be in the bottom two.
14:59But, you know, I've been in the bottom places for a long time.
15:04So I'm just going to enjoy the next performance and have fun if it's my last one.
15:07And thanks for voting for me anyway.
15:10That's the way.
15:11Good attitude, girlfriend.
15:13Come over here and join us, Harry.
15:15Now, having received the least amount of votes from Sunday night,
15:18unfortunately you both face elimination, which means you'll sing again to show Australia why you deserve to be here next
15:26week.
15:26Harry and Jacinta, head on backstage and get ready to perform again for what may be the last time.
15:35Amy, some super talented singers in trouble at the moment.
15:39How does that sit with you?
15:41I mean, it's just difficult, right?
15:43Because they got through all these challenges.
15:45I just think that they should try and see this as positive as they can.
15:50You know, we are at the pointy end of the whole competition.
15:53They have done so well.
15:54So I hope they get out there and just give it everything they have.
15:57Just remind everyone how great they are.
15:59Absolutely.
16:01Marcia, 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
16:18where people learn 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, you learn to sort of step up when you have to.
16:28And I think everyone has done a sterling job.
16:32Not just that, Marcia, but like the performances and they're up early
16:35and they're learning new songs every week and they're learning group songs.
16:38And they've got to have their second song if they don't get through tonight.
16:41It's the best training group.
16:43They're doing interviews.
16:45It's 24-7.
16:46They're working.
16:47They're working and that's totally impressive.
16:50It's wonderful.
16:51It is.
16:51Super impressive.
16:53Kyle, if they're listening backstage right now,
16:56have you got anything to say to Harry and Jacinta before they sing again?
17:00Yes.
17:00You were both the weakest on the show on that Sunday night.
17:05Australia's got it right.
17:06Prove to us why you deserve to stay here.
17:08So best of luck to both of them.
17:10Okay.
17:11Okay.
17:11Well, Harry and Jacinta, face elimination, performing under this pressure.
17:16It's just not easy.
17:17No.
17:18First to take to the stage, though, is our fabulous forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh.
17:23She's given us inspiring performances week after week.
17:27So, to prove why she should stay in the competition with a new song to show off her talent,
17:32singing Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara, please welcome Jacinta.
17:59She just wants to play.
18:02You're the first she goes.
18:04I 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.
18:23And you should know you're beautiful just the way you are.
18:28You won't have to change a thing.
18:31The world could change.
18:32It's hard.
18:32No stars, they're beautiful.
18:35We're stars, we're beautiful.
18:39Oh-oh-oh-oh.
18:43Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh.
18:48You won't have to change a thing.
18:51The world could change its heart.
18:53No stars, they're beautiful.
18:55We're beautiful, we're 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.
19:25And 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.
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.
20:23I can't explain it.
20:24Felt great.
20:25Yep.
20:26You've done an amazing job every step of the way.
20:29Give 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.
21:05Jacinta 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 singing How to Save a Life from the Fray.
21:19This is Harry.
21:40Step one, you say we need to talk.
21:45He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk.
21:50She smiles politely back at you.
21:54You 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 begin to wonder why you came.
22:13And where did I go wrong?
22:16I lost a friend somewhere alone in the bitterness and 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 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, even doing something like that without guitars or stands
23:09or anything, I think I would even struggle, let alone knowing you've got this pressure
23:13of the bottom two.
23:14So, 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 because, you know, we all get that.
23:29It'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.
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
23:50I've heard for a long time, and I really hope that this is not the end of your journey.
23:55Well done, man.
23:55Thank you, Marsha.
23:56Cheers.
23:59Great job tonight, Harry, Harry.
24:02We loved that.
24:02You know what?
24:03That's what I meant when I said those angsty songs that you sang.
24:07That's a beautiful song.
24:08It's an emotional, I believed every word you said.
24:11I believed.
24:12I believed everything you did then.
24:14And that'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, Kyle.
24:20Yeah, cheers.
24:23All right, everybody, make some noise for Harry.
24:28And welcome back to beautiful Jacinta.
24:32All right, you guys, the time has come.
24:36Who is safe and who goes home tonight?
24:40Hit the lights.
24:42Let's do this.
24:44Love you, Jacinta.
24:47Jacinta and Harry.
24:48It's the moment of truth.
24:51Australia, based on the nationwide vote, you at home had 24 hours to have your say.
24:57Australia, you voted and you decided.
25:02That's all.
25:02Jacinta and Harry, sing again.
25:06And now, the idol, safe and into the top eight, is...
25:41Oh, 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 and, like, 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 has been amazing.
26:20Obviously, all the friends that I've made, it's been phenomenal.
26:23Some of them aren't here.
26:24Some of them are here.
26:25But I've had such a great time.
26:27They're friends who have for the rest of your life, Harry.
26:29Truly.
26:31Judges, anything to add before Harry leaves the idol stage?
26:34I think what Marsha said, you really do have an incredible rock voice, man.
26:38It's crazy.
26:39It'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.
26:47He can be a model, he can be a hairdresser, he can be a singer.
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.
27:03Super nice.
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.
27:27Okay, 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 Samella, 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 Budgera.
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 Budgera!
28:40You got me checking myself in the mirror, swearing I think you like.
28:45Stray my neck with a look alone, baby, I bet spray twice.
28:49Want to get down on latitude, like you ain't no fool.

31:23See the word and there I am.
31:26Yeah, of a gentleman.
31:44Goodness me.
31:46That was amazing.
31:47Keep it going for Bajara.
31:52Wow, that was so smooth, so cool.
31:57Bajara, 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 suave, gentleman, 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.
32:37I 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 Budra's performance?
32:54Of 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 Budra!
33:08OK, it's business time.
33:10Right after the break, we find out who you voted
33:12into the top eight from last night's show.
33:15Already there is our doting dad, Trey,
33:18from 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.
33:31Don'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
33:49from 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 schoolteacher, 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.
34:45So 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.
34:52I 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 pox.
35:28And one idol dared to take on Aussie music royalty.
35:35What the actual harlot is going on.
35:43Only the bravest or the craziest human being on earth
35:46would get on this stage and sing John Farnham live
35:49and he smashed it.
35:52I'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.
36:23Now, it all comes down to this.
36:28Everyone's saying there's the best idol ever.
36:30I have to agree.
36:31I really hope Australia has voted for me
36:33because I am just at the beginning of this journey
36:37and I have so much to show.
36:38Who's heading into the top eight?
36:41I wonder who I'm 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 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, Wanwoo 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, 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 clam.
37:59Clammy, clammy palms test.
38:01Very clammy.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:03Confirmed.
38:04Okay, Samela, Australia voted
38:06and I can now reveal
38:09you are...
38:16safe.
38:19Oh, my God.
38:21Congratulations, Samela.
38:22Thank you so much.
38:23You are in the top eight.
38:24Congratulations.
38:24Go and celebrate in the lounge with Trey.
38:27Well done, Samela.
38:30All right, next up, we have got...
38:34Wanwoo.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hi, girl.
38:38Hi.
38:40Should we just rip the band-aid off
38:42because that face looks like...
38:44Lee, take it off.
38:45Okay, we'll do it gently.
38:47Okay, because you sang Ricky 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, that really isn't
39:12the result that you wanted, right?
39:14Not at all, not at all,
39:15but Australia voted
39:16and I just have to prove
39:17Australia 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, Marsha?
39:25Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
39:27You know, this is the hardest part
39:28because we don't have anything
39:30to 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,
39:36mm-mm, they're wrong.
39:37Yeah.
39:37Oh, there she is.
39:38We see it a lot.
39:40Good people on the show go home.
39:41Over to the danger zone there, Wanwoo.
39:44Crossing our fingers for you.
39:46Oh, damn.
39:47All right, lucky last.
39:48Come on over, Harlan and Charlie.
39:51One of you will make it safely
39:55into the top eight
39:56while the other will be singing
39:57for your life alongside Wanwoo.
40:01Harlan, you took on
40:02the mighty John Farnham last night.
40:06Yes.
40:07A risky move
40:08that may or may not have paid off.
40:11You know how protective
40:12Aussies are of Farnsey,
40:14don't you?
40:14Yes.
40:15Yes?
40:16All right.
40:17Charlie, you were a little bit
40:19under the weather last night
40:20but you still powered
40:21through your performance.
40:22Let's hope your cold
40:24didn't impact your chances there.
40:26Hopefully not.
40:27All right.
40:28The next name I read out
40:30is Safe
40:31and through
40:32to the top eight.
40:35And that person
40:37is...
40:39Harlan!
40:41Harlan!
40:43Harlan!
40:45Harlan!
40:47Harlan!
40:47Harlan!
40:49Harlan!
40:49Harlan!
40:51Harlan!
40:51Harlan!
40:52Harlan!
40:52Thank you, guys.
40:55Well done, Harlan!
40:57You, my friend,
40:58are in the top eight.
40:59Congratulations.
40:59You survived another week.
41:01Go and celebrate
41:02with the others!
41:03Yes.
41:06So, unfortunately,
41:07Charlie,
41:08you've been voted
41:08into the bottom two.
41:10What do you make of 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 that it is.
41:19But you did.
41:20You gave it everything
41:20you possibly could.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Yeah.
41:23Wan-woo,
41:24come over here
41:25and join us.
41:26Wan-woo 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 to perform
41:41tense times for Wan-woo
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 that you're
41:52a little shocked
41:53with that result there.
41:53Well,
41:54it'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
42:03crappy part
42:04of 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.
42:12So, sorry.
42:14I mean,
42:14it is a 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 of anything.
42:36Ricky just went
42:36off script then.
42:38She just wanted
42:39to 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
42:45the toughest one.
42:46We couldn't figure out.
42:48I think Sunday nights
42:49we all figured out
42:50who we're going to be
42:51in the bottom two,
42:51but last night
42:52that was anyone's race.
42:53Yes, it was.
42:54You know,
42:54but Ricky,
42:54you'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, girlfriend.
43:02You sure do.
43:03That's the name of the game.
43:04That's true.
43:05Okay, well 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 in 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
43:19from Perth,
43:20Charlie.
43:21Our Beanie Boy
43:22has wowed the judges
43:23with every soulful song
43:26he has performed
43:27on this stage
43:28with another soulful spin
43:30on Dancing On My Own.
43:32Make some noise
43:33for Charlie.
43:54Somebody said you've got a new friend.
44:02Does he love you better
44:05than I can?
44:11Yeah, I know it's stupid,
44:14but I just got to see it
44:17for myself.
44:19I'm in the corner
44:21watching you kiss her.
44:24Oh, no, no.
44:28I'm not giving him up.
44:30I'm not the guy
44:32you're taking home.
44:35Oh, I keep dancing
44:38on my own.
44:45But you don't see me
44:47standing here.
45:03Oh, Charlie.
45:04You've got a great voice.
45:05You're a great guy.
45:06Always over deliver.
45:08How's the cold going?
45:09You still got a little bit
45:10of it today?
45:11Just a smidge,
45:12but we're pretty much topside.
45:13We're feeling a lot better.
45:14A lot better.
45:15Hey, sorry you're
45:16in the bottom two,
45:17but great job tonight.
45:18If you get through
45:19more of that,
45:21more of the same,
45:21more of that, Charlie,
45:22we love.
45:23Good luck, man.
45:23I would love to do more
45:24of that.
45:24Thank you, Carl.
45:28Charlie, your consistency
45:30is one of the best things
45:32and, you know,
45:33as Amy and I are so aware
45:35and I think Carl would 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 step up
45:43and do what you've got to do.
45:45Okay?
45:45And that's what you did well,
45:46Charlie.

45:48Thank you, Marcia.
45:53Charlie, you're just like
45:54one of these artists
45:56that is, you're just so real.
45:58I said this to Trey the other night.
45:59You've got,
46:00I can just feel it
46:01in your conviction.
46:03Like you've got stories to tell.
46:05You've seen the lowest of lows
46:07and the highest of highs
46:08and I can see the love
46:09and happiness,
46:10but also the pain
46:11you've been through
46:12and everything.
46:13And I just,
46:14no matter what happens,
46:15I really hope you get in the studio
46:16and tell all these stories
46:18because I'm excited
46:20for your career.
46:22Thank you, thank you, Amy.
46:23That would be fantastic.
46:24Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie.
46:28How are you feeling after that?
46:30I'm feeling good, you know.
46:31I'm kind of glad
46:32I got a chance to sing again
46:33and be like,
46:34hey, look,
46:34this is what I can do
46:35when I'm at full health.
46:36Oh, yeah.
46:36We love hearing you sing, Charlie.
46:38Love hearing.
46:39All right, Charlie,
46:39if you want to head over there
46:40right now,
46:41we're moments away
46:42from finding out Charlie's fate.
46:45But before that,
46:46we've got to hear from Wanwoo
46:47on the other side of the break.
46:49Then we'll find out
46:50who is leaving Idle for good,
46:52Charlie or Wanwoo.
46:54Stay with us, Idle.
46:55We'll be back right after this.
47:06You're watching Idle
47:07and we are live.
47:08Before the break,
47:09we found out Wanwoo
47:10and Charlie received
47:11the fewest votes
47:12from last night's show.
47:13In a last bid sing-off
47:15to show that they should
47:16stay in the competition,
47:17Charlie just gave us
47:18a performance
47:19from Dancing On My Own
47:20by Callum Scott.
47:22Yes, and now
47:23it's Wanwoo's moment.
47:25Wanwoo is our all-singing,
47:28all-rapping star performer.
47:30We have been amazed
47:32by her performances
47:33week after week,
47:34with Mum Yasa
47:35always cheering her on
47:37from the crowd
47:38to show she is worthy
47:40of continuing
47:40her Idle journey.
