02:29Nice
02:31Wow
02:33Keep the applause going for your Australian Idol judges
02:40You're looking very sharp
02:42Tonight. How are we doing?
02:43Doing great. We're doing well. How are you guys doing?
02:45Very good. That was good.
02:47They did a great job. They nailed that.
02:49Wasn't it amazing? Excellent. So good.
02:51Here we go. Well, we had two nights of
02:53Spectacular performances as your
02:55Idols took on an all-Aussie music
02:57Playlist. We had songs from
02:59Farnsey, Crowded House,
03:01Kylie, Tones and I, so
03:03Many more. It was banger
03:05After banger on Sunday
03:07Night the first half of your top ten
03:09Performed and it was absolutely
03:11Incredible then last
03:13Night the second group took to the stage and
03:15Showed Australia why they are the
03:17Complete package and
03:19Deserving of your votes
03:21The voting was open for each
03:23Heat for 24 hours but I can
03:25Confirm voting
03:27Has closed
03:29And we are now verifying the numbers
03:31Before we reveal the results
03:33Sunday night's heat had
03:35Johnny Jukebox from Bunbury
03:37NWA
03:40Our central coast landscaper Kalani
03:45And forklift driver from
03:47Bacchus Marsh Jacinta
03:51Plus our barber from Ballarat
03:53Harry
03:55And our singing skier
03:57From Jindaby and Kesha
04:01At the end of the show the judges
04:03Save Kesha from the public vote
04:06For her amazing cover of Olivia
04:08Newton-John's Hopelessly Devoted
04:10To You. Here's a reminder
04:12Of what went down
04:16From coast to coast
04:18The country tuned in for an
04:19All-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. It was so exciting
04:38I just love being on the stage
04:39With 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
04:53Emerged
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
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
05:34I think I did pretty okay
05:36Yeah
05:36And 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
05:52The judges save
05:53Kesha hey
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 hearts
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
06:15I have so much more to show
06:16I want to keep living out my dreams on that stage
06:19And I don't want to go
06:21It's not my time now
06:25The performances from our idols just keep getting better and better
06:31You can stream or download every song from this series on all your favourite streaming devices
06:36Like Spotify and Apple Music
06:38Just get amongst it
06:40Carla, 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
06:59And 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
07:16Will sing again tonight to show us why they should not be leaving the competition
07:20So there's a positive that comes with the negative, right?
07:23I mean it's not every day you get to perform in front of the whole country
07:26So I think they need to see that as a positive for sure
07:29Absolutely
07:30And also for us we always like to hear another artist perform
07:35Don't we guys?
07:35Yeah we do
07:36It'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

14:44Wow. Which means, Jacinta,
14:48Australia has voted and has put you in the bottom two.
14:52Jacinta, how do you feel? Did you expect that?
14:55Look, I mean, no one comes into this expecting to be in the bottom two,
14:59but, you know, I've been in bottom places for a long time,
15:04so I'm just going to enjoy the next performance and have fun if it's my last one,
15:08and thanks for voting for me anyway.
15:10That's the way.
15:11Good attitude, girlfriend.
15:13Come over here and join us, Harry.
15:15Now, having received the least amount of votes from Sunday night,
15:19unfortunately, you both face elimination,
15:21which means you'll sing again
15:23to show Australia why you deserve to be here next week.
15:26Harry and Jacinta, head on backstage
15:29and 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?
15:40I 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
15:55and just give it everything they have.
15:57Just remind everyone how great they are.
15:59Absolutely.
16:02Marsha, it's live TV.
16:04And this is a crucial moment for Harry and Jacinta.
16:07How much pressure are they under right now?
16:10You know, a lot of pressure.
16:11I was watching the first song, you know, that they sang, you know,
16:14the group thing.
16:14And I was saying that, Kyle, you know,
16:16we 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.
16:25Yeah.
16:25You know, you learn to wait.
16:26You learn to sort of step up when you have to.
16:28And I think everyone has done a sterling job.
16:32Not just that, Marsha, but like the performances
16:34and they're up early and they're learning new songs every week
16:37and they're learning group songs
16:38and they've got to have their second song if they don't get through tonight.
16:41It's the best training group.
16:43They're doing interviews.
16:44Yeah.
16:45It's relentless.
16:4524-7.
16:46They're working.
16:47Okay.
16:48They'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,
16:56have you got anything to say to Harry and Jacinta
16:58before 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.
17:09So best of luck to both of them.
17:10Okay.
17:11Okay.
17:11Well, Harry and Jacinta face elimination,
17:14performing under this pressure.
17:16It's just not easy.
17:17No.
17:18First to take to the stage, though,
17:20is our fabulous forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh.
17:24She's given us inspiring performances week after week.
17:28So, to prove why she should stay in the competition
17:30with a new song to show off her talent,
17:33singing Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara,
17:35please welcome Jacinta.
17:38Thank you, Jacinta.
17:51Thank you, Jacinta.
17:52Thank you, Jacinta.
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.
18:22You should know you're beautiful just the way you are.
18:28You don't have to change a thing.
18:31The world could change a time.
18:33No stars, you're beautiful.
18:36With stars, we're beautiful.
19:02Thank you, Jacinta.
19:16Oh, Jacinta, you know what?
19:18Sometimes you're amazing.
19:21Tonight's one of those nights.
19:22Did yourself proud.
19:23That's the perfect song for you, don't you think?
19:26And if you do go home tonight, I'm sure
19:28we'll see you again sometime in the future.
19:31Best of luck.
19:32Jacinta, your transformation has been truly, truly
19:34something to watch vocally as well as the way you
19:38present yourself now.
19:40And you should be very proud of yourself regardless,
19:42Jacinta.
19:43Thank you so much, Marsha.
19:47I second that.
19:48I just, the transformation is just insane.
19:51And I think, you know, when you walked into that
19:53audition 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
20:04to 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
20:16in the crowd and just being like, oh my gosh,
20:18I've gotten to do this, you know, like since my audition
20:21to now.
20:22It's just, it's a really beautiful moment.
20:24I can't explain it.
20:25It felt great.
20:25Yep.
20:26You've done an amazing job every step of the way.
20:28Give it up for Jacinta, everybody.
20:31All right.
20:34After the break, Harry will perform and then we'll find out
20:38which one of them, Jacinta or Harry, will be leaving
20:41the competition tonight.
20:42Don't go anywhere.
20:43And their idols 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
21:01from Sunday night's show received the lowest number of votes.
21:05Jacinta then performed in what could be her final song
21:08on the idol stage in a bid to prove why she deserves to be here.
21:12Now it's Harry's turn.
21:13He's our barber from Ballarat in Victoria singing
21:16how to save a life from the fray.
21:19This is Harry.
21:40It's the one you say we need to talk.
21:45He walks, you say, sit down.
21:48It's just a talk.
21:50She smiles politely back at you.
21:54You stare politely right on through
21:58some sort of window to the right.
22:02She goes left and you'll stay right
22:06between the lines of fear and blame.
22:10You'll begin to wonder why you came
22:13and where did I go wrong?
22:16I lost a friend somewhere alone in the bitterness
22:21and I would have stayed up with you all night
22:25had I known how to save a life.
22:29I would have stayed up with you all night
22:33yet I know how to save a life.
22:50Well done, Harry.
22:53I, look, I, I loved, I have loved watching you grow.
22:59I remember your audition.
23:00You even wrote the lyrics in your arm.
23:01Remember that?
23:02I do remember that.
23:04And just to see where you've come,
23:05like even doing something like that
23:07without guitars or stands or anything,
23:10like I think I would even struggle,
23:12let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two.
23:14So well done for performing and also well done for taking criticism
23:19on like live television.
23:22Cause like, no, it's, it's one thing to read it as a comment online.
23:27Cause you know, we all get that.
23:29We all, it's not always positive online,
23:31but to go like, you know, to handle that.
23:34And I think you did it with grace and maturity.
23:37And so well done, man.
23:39This has been a real journey for you.
23:40I'm proud.
23:41I really appreciate it.
23:42Thanks.
23:45You know, and Harry, as I said from the get go,
23:47from the very beginning,
23:48you've got one of the finest rock voices I've heard for a long time.
23:52And I really hope that this is not the end of your journey.
23:55Well done, man.
23:56Thank you, Marsha.
23:56Cheers.
24:00Great job tonight, Harry, Harry.
24:02We love that.
24:03You know what?
24:03That's what I meant when I said those angsty songs that you sang.
24:07That's a beautiful song.
24:09It's an emotional.
24:09I 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,
24:17stay in that pocket.
24:18That's what you own that pocket.
24:20Yeah, cheers.
24:23All right, everybody.
24:25Make some noise for Harry.
24:28And welcome back to beautiful Jacinta.
24:32All right, you guys.
24:33The time has come.
24:36Who is safe?
24:37And who goes home tonight?
24:41Hit the lights.
24:42Let's do this.
24:45Love you, Jacinta.
24:47Jacinta and Harry.
24:48It's the moment of truth.
24:51Australia, based on the nationwide vote,
24:54you at home had 24 hours to have your say.
24:58Australia, 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...
25:15Oh, I'm so hella excited.
25:41Let's go.
25:42Yeah.
25:42I'm so hella excited.
25:44Let'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.
26:21Obviously, all the friends that I've made, it's been phenomenal.
26:23Some of them aren't here.
26:24Some of them are here.
26:26But 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.
26:39It'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.
26:48He can be a model.
26:48He can be a hairdresser.
26:49He can be a singer.
26:51What can't he do?
26:52You've got so many opportunities and options, unlike the rest of us.
26:55Some of us only have one.
26:56That's right.
26:58Good luck, man.
26:59Good luck, Harry.
26:59I hope to see you in the future.
27:01All right.
27:01And 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
27:13to 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.
27:22OK, 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
27:40night.
27:42But 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.

47:06you're watching idle and we are live before the break we found out wanwu and charlie received the

47:17competition charlie just gave us a performance from dancing on my own by callum scott yes and now
47:23it's wanwu's moment wanwu is our all singing all rapping star performer we have been amazed by her
47:32performances week after week with mom yassa always cheering her on from the crowd to show she is worthy
47:40of continuing her idle journey singing price tag by jessie jay this is wanwu
47:46is
47:47and
48:13It seems like everybody's got a crowd
48:16And I wonder how to sleep at night
48:19When Brazil comes first and the truth comes second
48:22Just stop for a minute and smile
48:24Why is everybody so serious?
48:28You're acting so damn mysterious
48:30You've got your heads on top
48:32And you're so high that you can't even have a good time
48:36Everybody look to the earth
48:39Everybody look to the earth
48:41Can you feel that?
48:43You're playing with love tonight
48:44Can't decide about the money, money, money
48:47We don't need your money, money, money
48:50We just want to make the world dance
48:53Forget about the price, yeah
48:55We don't want your arm to change, we don't need your care
49:00We don't want your thing, we want to make the world dance
49:04Forget about the price, yeah
49:24Thank you everyone
49:26And one woo, just up there doing what you were born to do.
49:34I mean, we say it each week just how effortless you make it look.
49:39But I think, you know, what I've really learnt about you
49:43and loved about you is just your empathy
49:45and just you're such a kind-hearted person.
49:47You know, back when we were doing the challenges,
49:49you were so good with Jacinta, I remember that.
49:52And the other night you shouted out Sophie.
49:54And I just think that that's just such an important thing as an artist
49:59to never lose that.
50:00And that's what makes you the whole package.
50:03So good luck tonight.
50:04Another amazing performance.
50:06Thank you, Amy.
50:13That was one of your strongest performances.
50:16You really, you've stepped up, you've stepped up, you've stepped up, you know.
50:22And I mean, I don't know that you knew you could be this good.
50:26I did not.
50:27I know you didn't, but I am so proud of you and you've done so well.
50:31One more, God bless you.
50:37One, we not only have you showed to everyone that works behind the scenes,
50:42in front of the cameras, behind the cameras,
50:43what a beautiful human being you are, as Amy and Marsha pointed out.
50:47But you're a gorgeous woman.
50:49Your voice is so rich.
50:52Beautiful.
50:53And you know what I...
50:55I would hate for you to go home tonight without teaching me how to do that hip roll thing,
51:00because that was sexy, man.
51:02No, no, no, no.
51:03That shit was sexy.
51:05I like it.
51:06I like it a lot.
51:09Come on, Carl.
51:10Give it a go.
51:11I don't know.
51:12Should I?
51:12Come on, Carl.
51:13Yes.
51:15Come on, Carl.
51:17Come on, Carl.
51:17Come on, Carl.
51:21Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
51:29You get a host save for that.
51:32It's a guest from us.
51:34It was a lot wobbling.
51:35I think we're doing the wrong place.
51:37Give it up for Wanwoo, everybody.
51:39Thank you, everyone.
51:43Another fantastic performance.
51:45Well done.
51:46And welcome back, Charlie.
51:49All right.
51:51Take a deep breath, everybody.
51:53The time has come.
51:54One of you is safe, and one of you will be leaving idle tonight.
52:00Hit the lights.
52:01Let's do this.
52:05Charlie and Wanwoo, it is time.

52:12It's your decision.
52:15It's your decision.

52:22And we can now reveal the singer who is safe and will continue their idle journey into the top eight
52:30is...
52:32One, one, one, one, one, one, one.
52:45Charlie...
52:46Charlie!
