00:00It's all Aussie week on EIDL and tonight more top-tier talent will belt out true blue bangers for your
00:08votes.
00:09Let's get loud, proud and a little bit rowdy. This is...
00:13Australia!
00:30Hello, I'm Ricky Lee.
00:31And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:33Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!
00:36Wow!
00:37Tonight your idols are serving up music made in Australia from artists like Tones and I, The Kid Leroy and
00:45the godfather of Australian music, John Farnham.
00:49They will lay everything on the line for your votes as they edge closer to claiming the idol title.
00:54It's gonna be a ripper of a night. Our band is ready, our idols are ready and our audience is
01:00ready.
01:01Which leaves just one thing. It's time to bring out your Australian Idol judges!
01:14Carl Sanderlund!
01:16Martha Hines!
01:18And Amy Schach!
01:47Hello judges. Hi!
01:50Good evening! Alright, last night, we saw five amazing idols performed.
01:54form. John, Kalani, Jacinta, Harry and Kesha. Kesha scored the judges save, which gave her
02:02immunity from the public vote, locking her into the top eight. Then, yes. Then we turned it over
02:10to you, Australia, to vote for who you believe should stay in the competition. Voting for last
02:16night's show is now closed and we'll find out the result in tomorrow night's top 10 live voting show.
02:23Tonight, five more idols will take to the stage to sing for your vote. We have Perth's soul
02:29man, Charlie. Our Ballot King from Brisbane, Harlan. And Melbourne's soul diva, Wan Wu. Plus R&B dad,
02:44Trey. And Adelaide's school teacher, Samella.
02:52So, Amy, the Aussie hits continue tonight. Are you excited to hear more? I'm so excited.
02:59Let's get into it, guys. Yes. Yes. Let's start this show. I'm excited because the song choices
03:05are amazing. Oh, of course. And last night was insane. Yes, it was. It really was. Marsha,
03:10the power is in Australia's hands now. When the public is voting, what do you think is going to
03:16really cut through? I think the heart of the performer cuts through, you know. I mean,
03:21the notes mightn't be absolutely, totally perfect, but the heart and the rendition of the song and
03:26what they give on the stage. It's very important. It is. Sure. And Carl, should we chuck some more
03:31bangers on the Barbie and get this show on the road? Please. I think after last night, I just
03:37can't wait to get a few more Aussie things happening. Can we do the Aussie, Aussie, Aussie
03:40already? I'm sure I can hear it out of there. Yeah, give it a go. Come on. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
03:45All right. Well, let's get started right now. And right now, voting has officially opened for
03:51tonight's idols. You get 10 votes to use. You can back one idol or you can share the 10. It's
03:57up to
03:57you. For anyone who voted last night, though, you have 10 new votes to use tonight. That's thanks to
04:04the all-new Jayku J5 EV powering electric idol performances. To vote for your favourite, text their
04:11name to the number on the screen. It is that easy. And let's not forget about the absolutely crucial
04:18judges save. After tonight's five performances, the judges have the power to save one idol from
04:25the public vote, landing them safely into the top eight. All righty. Well, let's kick it off
04:30with our very first singer of the night. Our soul man from Perth in Western Australia has
04:36had another busy week of rehearsals and red carpets. Check it out.
04:47That's one of the way to Wharf Award. Are you guys excited for today?
04:52Well, some of Australia's biggest names, including some familiar seven faces, have come together
04:57at Sydney's Willamaloo Wharf today to raise money for the Sony Foundation.
05:03You see things like this on TV and social media, and I think I never thought I'd be here somewhere
05:08like this. This is really new to me.
05:10Let's get a photo.
05:11Okay.
05:12It's an amazing feeling. For me, it's a real dream come true.
05:15And I just put my sunnies on so I look a little bit cooler.
05:18Hey.
05:19Oh, yeah.
05:20Who's your favourite judge?
05:21Probably Marsha, because she gave me a fast pass.
05:23Yeah.
05:25I love that.
05:26Being part of Idol is really exciting. I'm getting these brand new opportunities, and I would love for
05:31things like this to continue.
05:32Cheers, everyone!
05:36Hey, Charlie.
05:37How you going?
05:38Good. How are you?
05:39Welcome.
05:41Welcome to Top Ten. How are you feeling?
05:42Oh, man. Incredible.
05:44You are here, and it is Aussie Music Week?
05:47Yeah.
05:48What song do you sing?
05:49I'm singing Fly Away by Tones and I.
05:51Great song.
05:52And this would be the most modern song you've sung on this stage, right?
05:56Yeah.
05:56Shall we give it a go?
05:57Yeah.
05:59And I had a dream that someday I would just fly, fly away.
06:07I think there's moments that you can find to slightly change the melody up.
06:12Yeah.
06:12And make it a bit more Charlie.
06:14Because at the moment, I think you're just singing like Tones and I.
06:17Yeah.
06:18I think it's a big worry with the song is to not just copy the original artist.
06:23I think you have to put a piece of yourself in these songs.
06:27It's super important to make sure everything sounds like Charlie.
06:32From phrasing to the way that I approach the big notes, like the song has to sound like me.
06:37I have to really, really bring it.
06:40I have to keep raising the bar, keep proving that I deserve to be here.
06:49Now, Herds Zone...
06:52I have to keep raising the bar like Coyote and I have to show up while you're taking a yard.
07:00So I had a dream of just flying away
07:05I've been on my own for a minute
07:09Is it healing me out here?
07:13Searching for the place to begin it
07:15Is it you? Is it me? Is it fair?
07:20Hey, standing on the line, I was giving
07:24People stand here, ask me why I'm here
07:28No one really says that I fit in
07:31But I don't want to be like them
07:34No, no, I don't want to be like them
07:39I know that I, know that I
07:42I had a dream that someday
07:47I would just fly, fly away
07:50And I always knew I couldn't stay
07:54Though I had a dream, fly away
07:59Where do I go now that a minute
08:02I never thought it'd be like this
08:06Dreaming all my life that I did it
08:09I guess the grass is greener than it is
08:13I had a dream someday
08:17I could just fly, fly away
08:21And I always knew I couldn't stay
08:24So I had a dream, fly away
08:28So I had a dream, fly away
08:29I'd fly away
08:32I'd fly away
08:36I had a dream
08:38Someday
08:40I would fly, fly away
08:43Oh hey
08:59Charlie
09:00Look at you, I love when you hit the stage
09:03We always know it's going to be a
09:04Extra performance
09:06Once again you've got a beautiful song
09:08And Tones and I does that so well
09:09Such a melodic, beautiful sing-along song
09:12And you made it urban
09:14And made it cool
09:15And made it Charlie
09:16Yeah
09:16And I was believing it
09:18That could have been your song
09:19Oh wow, thank you so much
09:20I enjoyed it as much as I do the original
09:22And I love that song
09:23Well done Charlie, nice start
09:24Oh thank you Carl, thank you so much man
09:29You know Charlie, a choir is always such wonderful augmentation for a singer
09:34And what you did with that song
09:36It was Tones and I, but you made it Charlie-land
09:39And I really dig that about you Charlie
09:42You really are so individual and so different
09:45And you know what you need to do
09:47And you did it tonight, well done
09:48Well thank you Marcia, thank you so much
09:50Well done
09:53Firstly Charlie, whoever is styling you right now is on fire
09:57These fits are so good
09:59I agree
10:00Yeah, they're so good
10:01Look at those pants right there where the clock is
10:03Yeah
10:05I knew you were going to go
10:06Tick-tock Charlie
10:07You didn't clock that?
10:07You didn't clock that?
10:09Um, Tones and I are wow
10:11I mean one of the best songwriters of the country
10:13Yeah, yeah
10:14And um, and I heard that someone was doing her song
10:18So I said you might want to tune in tonight
10:19She's a good friend of mine
10:20And she would have loved that
10:22Just having the choir
10:23And you still made it your own
10:25But really paid homage to that song
10:27Well done, that was fantastic
10:28Oh thank you, thank you so much
10:29Thank you
10:32Charlie, you good?
10:34Yeah, I'm good
10:34You're relieved, you're happy that's over?
10:37Yeah, yeah, yeah
10:37What you all don't know is that Charlie's really sick
10:42And you're battling a bit of a cold
10:44So even in rehearsals you weren't singing it
10:46And it was like you've got one in you to give it everything you've got
10:49That was my plan, you know
10:51I really love doing this
10:52And I was disappointed that, you know, I was sick all week
10:55But I thought I'm going to go out there and just give it everything that I've got
10:58That's it
10:58And you did
11:00You really did
11:02Charlie, your family and friends back in Perth
11:05Have taken their vote for Charlie campaign to the next level
11:08Yeah
11:09Check out some of this action going on
11:11This is insane Charlie
11:13It's like you're running for president or something
11:15It's wild
11:16How does it feel to know that you have all of these people out there
11:21Campaigning for you and willing to do this to get people to vote for you?
11:25Honestly, they send me stuff, I just start crying
11:27Because it's so nice to, you know, have friends and family supporting me
11:30We're back away from Perth
11:31Yeah
11:32Hey guys, how you doing?
11:33Going nuts on the couch
11:34Yeah
11:35Love it
11:36Love it
11:37Well, guys, if you want to see Charlie again next week
11:40You have to vote for him
11:41Text Charlie to 0457 500 700
11:45And remember, you have 10 votes per phone per voting period
11:50Let's hear it again for Charlie
11:57Still to sing tonight, we have Samella, Trey and Wanwoo
12:01But up next, our Ballad King Harlan is taking on a John Farnham classic
12:07You cannot miss this
12:09Idol is back in a moment
12:20Welcome back to Idol, where tonight singers are tackling a playlist bursting with Aussie hits
12:25Just weeks ago, our next performer was working at a fruit and veg store in Brisbane called Skippy's
12:31I mean, you can't get more Aussie than that
12:33Now, he's in the top 10 preparing to sing a John Farnham favourite
12:38He's the Ballad King from Brisbane
12:40This is Harlan
12:50This week for Aussie Week, I'm singing Touch of Paradise by John Farnham
12:54This song is definitely for Nan, I'm definitely singing it for her
12:57My Nan Nikki, she's a massive John Farnham fan
13:02As you know, John Farnham's songs are, I would say, some of the hardest to sing
13:10Yeah
13:10The soaring notes, the
13:11Ooh
13:13Yeah
13:14I think it goes up to an E5, which is, I've never ever sang
13:18So you'll be singing a note that's
13:20I've never sang live before
13:21Yeah
13:22For that special touch of paradise
13:31Not today
13:34Yeah, I haven't sang anything above, I think, a D or a D sharp ever in my whole entire performing
13:40catalogue live
13:43Um, so that's Jaunty
13:46Oh
13:47Yeah, Harlan
13:48I can tell that this is definitely, like, the most challenging song you've done
13:53Oh yeah, you can't butcher a John song, the second you butcher it, you just hate it
13:56And I, even I am guilty of it, I hate people who bloody butcher a John song
14:00It's such a hard thing, because it is so iconic, especially in Australia, that's where most of pressure comes from
14:05It's very scary, it's a very high note
14:08If I don't nail this song, it could be my last performance here
14:13I don't want that, so I really just need to work hard
14:16Try and not go home
14:25Flamingos walk and sway in peace
14:30Seeing this, it makes my trouble cease
14:36The sun is hiding, leaving a pink scar
14:42That stretches right across the sky
14:46It's all we've seen so far
14:51And all I do is look into your eyes
14:57For that special touch of paradise
15:01For that special touch of paradise
15:04Just a touch, a touch of paradise
15:10Just a special touch of paradise
15:17A touch of paradise
15:18A touch of spring
15:19A touch of spring
15:22A touch of sweet
15:22A touch of spring
15:23Where the trees of our brave
15:25her eyes
15:28And I think of all the love that we have been making
15:35You touch my hand
15:39And I walk all shaking
15:50And all I do is look into your eye
15:55And I walk all the special touch of paradise
16:03Oh, yeah
16:14Oh, paradise
16:22Oh, paradise
16:29Thank you
16:43That was pretty good
16:56What the actual Harlan going on?
17:00Look, call me old-fashioned, but I think Kyle getting up, walking the table meant he liked it
17:05Yeah
17:06Thank you
17:07For me to get five steps up, that means I really like it
17:11Huge
17:11You know, Harlan, you chose one of the most revered, loved songs I think Australia has ever heard
17:22by one of the most amazing singers that's ever walked this earth
17:28And that's John Fine
17:30Yes, ma'am
17:36And I am proud of you that you're that game to try and walk in those shoes
17:44Because that is a big song, honey
17:46That's a big song
17:47And, you know, you're game
17:48And you've got the chops
17:50And I think you did a brilliant job
17:52Thank you
17:55Thank you
17:56Yeah
17:57Yeah
17:58Yeah
17:58Great one
18:01Normally, I mean, like you said in the video, you would get really nervous when someone would tackle a John
18:07Farnham song
18:07But for some reason, from what I've seen, I wasn't
18:10I was just really excited for you to hit the stage
18:13Thank you
18:20And anyone so far
18:21With the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
18:23Like, there was ones before that
18:25This tonight
18:26You really, really are pushing yourself
18:29And we can tell, and I think the country can tell
18:32Well done, Harlan
18:33That was so incredible
18:34Thank you
18:36Thank you
18:41You're really good, Harlan, really, really good
18:44For an 18-year-old from Brisbane to take on one of the biggest voices the world's ever heard
18:49Yeah
18:50And nail it
18:51In your own young way
18:52Thank you
18:53This wasn't like, oh, he's good like John
18:55This was, you're good like Harlan
18:57You owned it, you nailed it
18:58You were fantastic
19:00Thank you
19:01Thank you, guys
19:02Just the best
19:04Can I give you a hug? Because that was insane!
19:10There's something wrong with you
19:11I mean, that in the nicest way
19:13How are you feeling?
19:15Um, yeah, it's a big song
19:17I was bloody so scared
19:18Far out
19:19How's your head?
19:19I've done it, I did a John Farnham song
19:22Mum will know
19:22She'll, oh my god
19:23I did it for like a sports awards at my school
19:25When I was like a year 10
19:26I was fat, ugly-eyed pimples
19:28It was so bad
19:29And I butchered it
19:31It was the worst thing anyone's ever heard
19:33So that was like in the back of my mind
19:34Well you didn't butcher that
19:35That was amazing, wasn't it?
19:37Thank you
19:40Harlan, I can see your grandmother and her sister are up there rocking the Farnsey shirts in support tonight
19:46Very cute ladies
19:48Looking gorgeous
19:50Now, before Idol you were working at your local fruit and veg shop named Skippy's
19:55In celebration of your time on Idol, your colleagues have created a special edition drink called the Harlan Shake
20:05The Harlan Shake
20:05Check it out
20:07Now, tell us more about the Harlan Shake
20:11It's a beautiful shake
20:12I know
20:13Looks delicious, go grab it
20:15Ten dollars
20:16While you're at it, vote
20:17Harlan
20:190457
20:20500
20:20700
20:20Yeah, there you go
20:21If you want to see Harlan shake again next week
20:24You have to vote Australia
20:25Text Harlan
20:27Please
20:27To get him into the top 8
20:30Or maybe he'll receive the judges save and be sent straight there
20:34Skipping the public vote
20:35We will find out at the end of the show
20:37Make some noise everybody
20:39For Harlan
20:44Coming up next, Melbourne's soul singing waitress is taking to the stage with an Aria chart topper
20:51that plays very close to home
20:53Wan Wu is risking it all by singing a song by our very own Rikki Lea
21:00Let's hear her rendition and see Rikki's reaction when Idol returns after this
21:16Tonight, our idols are vying for your votes to score a place in the top 8
21:21Our next performer is Wan Wu
21:23And something cool, you want to know about Wan Wu
21:26She's got a very special middle name
21:28I'm here with her mum right now, Yasa
21:29Can you share with us what Wan Wu's middle name is?
21:32Wan Wu's middle name is Success
21:35Success
21:36Success
21:36Because she was conceived during the war time
21:39And then her breath was very quick
21:42So my sister Kolu named her Success
21:45Because in our culture and belief
21:48The meaning of Success
21:50Is when you pronounce good things
21:53Because every good thing lasts on the tongue
21:55So whatever you manifest, it happens
21:58So that's a prophetic word
22:00The meaning of Success
22:01She'll be successful
22:02And I know the sky and the stars are limit
22:05Go higher, girl
22:06We love you
22:08Beautiful words
22:09Yeah, Success
22:10It's a fitting name
22:11No wonder Wan Wu is killing it in the top 10
22:14So for Aussie week, Wan Wu is bravely taking on a smash hit by our very own Rikki Lee
22:21Let's take a look at how she prepared for tonight's performance
22:33Top 10 has been absolutely surreal
22:36I got the judges saved which was absolutely insane
22:40The person going through isn't the one or the two
22:44It's the one
22:46I am definitely bringing that energy with me this week
22:52Before my Australian Idol audition people didn't even know how to pronounce my name
22:56And now they're chanting it
22:59I think this lifestyle is for me
23:03I love it, I'm living it
23:05And I don't want to attend
23:06How are you feeling Wan Wu?
23:08I'm good
23:08How are you?
23:08Welcome to top 10
23:09Thank you
23:10Feeling blessed to be here
23:11It's Aussie week
23:12Aussie week
23:13And I'm doing Rikki Lee
23:14What?
23:15I can't touch it
23:17The one and only Rikki Lee
23:20I feel like I'm walking in the footsteps
23:23Literally by singing her song
23:25You can't touch it
23:26You can't put a little rap in here
23:27I am
23:28And I've asked for dances
23:30Oh my goodness
23:32There's a lot more in it
23:34I want to show Australia that I can elevate my performance and still ace it
23:37There's a few pressures there
23:39Yeah, it's going to be a challenge
23:40But I want to be an artist
23:42So I need to take on new things
23:44I just want to show Australia that I am the full package

23:55You can't
23:57You can't touch it
23:58I feel like that was bad
24:01I feel like I'm not executing it right
24:04You're having second thoughts
24:05You've put a lot of pressure on yourself in that
24:08You're adding the original rap
24:09And now you've got you said two dances

26:39Oh my god
26:41One woo
26:43Thank you
26:43What one woo
26:45What can't you do
26:45Like I mean
26:47That I mean firstly to perform a song in front of an artist that's actually in the building
26:51Is super stressful
26:54But um, I'm gonna speak on behalf of Ricky right now
26:57I think that she would have loved that
26:59And um, you're that type of artist that you are dead set leaving wherever you are to get to your
27:05festival spot in that day
27:07In whatever time slot you were playing because
27:10You were just so entertaining
27:12You're so exciting
27:13You never know what you're gonna do
27:14How you just drop to the floor and you're just dancing and putting it all together like it's nothing
27:19You really are born to do this babe
27:21Well done
27:22That was so hot
27:23Thank you
27:24Thank you
27:25Thank you
27:28Thank you
27:29Thank you
27:44This is very cool because
27:44There ain't nobody like Ricky Lee
27:46Okay
27:47And we love it
27:48Ricky I love you
27:49I never tell you enough but I love you
27:51And I think you would
27:52You would just love that
27:53That was great
27:55And I'm proud of you
27:57Love you darling
28:00I am probably the only other person that knows what it's like to sing in front of another artist
28:05I sang Roxanne once in front of Sting
28:07On a boat
28:11There's only like six of us on the boat and I was going hard
28:15Was it a no from him?
28:17It was a no from everyone
28:19Uh, Wanwoo, man, that was Grammy performance right there
28:23That was what I would expect to see on TV at the Grammys
28:28You own that song
28:29I know Ricky, I know that's Ricky's song
28:32I love that song from way back in the day
28:34But you put a different spin on it
28:37You put a woo spin on it
28:38And now that's your song
28:40I thought that was like an artist performing their own song
28:44Everything about it was top notch
28:45Excellent work with the dancers
28:47The whole staging
28:48The visuals
28:49Everything
28:50The rap
28:50Insane
28:51Top notch
28:5210 out of 10
28:52Well done
28:53Thank you
28:57Go
28:59Wow
29:01Thank you
29:02Wow
29:02Thank you Ricky
29:04Oh my god
29:04One
29:04Woo
29:05Oh my god
29:09I have performed that song a million times
29:13And I have never ever ever heard Can't Touch It done like that before
29:18I'm inspired
29:19You made that song your own
29:22I'm in awe
29:23That was incredible
29:24How was that for you?
29:25That was absolutely insane
29:27Now I'm gonna be real
29:29I can't take all the credit
29:30Sophie P helped me finalize that
29:32So
29:32I think
29:33Oh
29:34Shout out to you girl
29:35I love that
29:36Shout out
29:38And girl
29:39That rap was sick
29:41I loved it so much
29:43R to the I to the CK I
29:45Ricky Lee girl
29:46Yeah, you're so fly
29:49I love it
29:50Wonwoo
29:51We know you are a great rapper
29:53Can I put you on the spot a little bit
29:55And get you to freestyle
29:57And tell Australia
29:58Why they should vote for you
30:00Okay
30:01Can I get a
30:04Okay
30:06Australia
30:07Wonwoo's in the building
30:09When I'm on the mic
30:10You know I get a groove
30:11And how you doing
30:12Cause I'm feeling great
30:13Please vote for me
30:14Get me into top eight
30:15Uh-huh
30:16It's not the one or the two
30:21Do what the girl says Australia
30:23You know what to do
30:25If she's the one for you
30:27Vote Wonwoo
30:29Text Wonwoo to 0457 500 700
30:33If you wanna see her perform again next week
30:36Let's hear it one more time
30:38For my girl
30:39Wonwoo
30:41Killed it
30:42Killed it
30:44Well
30:45The tension is rising
30:47With just two idols left to perform
30:49And then the judges make their decision
30:51On who gets tonight's save
30:53Only one performer
30:55Will be spared the public vote
30:57And sent straight into the top eight
30:59Up next
31:00It's our young dad Trey
31:02And he's putting his smooth R&B flavour
31:05On a track
31:06That's spent 17 weeks
31:08At number one on the ARIA charts
31:11This is gonna be good
31:12Idle is back
31:13After the break
31:25You're watching Idle
31:26Where tonight's line-up is loaded with Aussie hits
31:29And it doesn't get much bigger than the next one
31:32It's one of the longest charting number one songs in Australian music history
31:37So our young dad Trey is really testing his limits with this week's performance
31:50It's Aussie week this week and I'll be singing one of Australia's biggest artists
31:54The Kid Leroy
31:55The Kid Leroy started music at a really young age
31:58And that's something I can really relate to
32:01You know starting a YouTube channel when I was younger
32:03And doing a bunch of covers
32:04My gosh look at this
32:06Hey guys Trey here
32:08Watching some little Trey videos
32:10Aussie classic horses
32:11That's the way it's gonna be
32:14Little darling
32:16You go riding on the horses
32:19I think I was a good singer at this age
32:20I do
32:34Yeah, yeah
32:35Little Trey
32:36Would be
32:38Extremely proud
32:40Of
32:40The man that I've become today
32:43I just love that I've stuck
32:45With my passion
32:50There's been
32:57Sorry
33:01There's just been a lot of ups and downs
33:07Throughout my career
33:08I'm just proud
33:10That I have the same heart
33:16I'll forever be chasing this dream
33:17Yeah
33:19There's nothing that I want more than this
33:24Yeah
33:29I'm performing a big song
33:30Stay by the Kid Leroy
33:32I never could
33:33This is probably the hardest song
33:34I've had to sing yet
33:38I don't know if that's two hooks there or
33:42As you can tell there's a lot going on in my brain
33:44When I'm singing this
33:46Learning lines and where they have the same words
33:48And it's like
33:50My brain is about to explode
33:53I guess you have to just kind of go
33:54Okay, I need to work on the lyrics first
34:01There's no room for error in this top ten stage
34:04But yes
34:04I should be getting it
34:05I mean
34:07It could very easily go south
34:10But getting a lyric could ultimately result in going home
34:18I do the same thing I told you that I never would
34:22Told you I changed
34:23Even when I know I never could
34:25Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
34:29I need you to stay
34:30Need you to stay
34:31Need you to stay
34:32Baby
34:33Get drunk
34:33Wake up
34:34I'm wasted
34:35Still realize
34:37Times that I wasted
34:39Here
34:39Feel like
34:40Can't feel the way I feel
34:42I'll be messed up if you can't be right here
34:46Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
34:55I'll be messed up if you can't be right here
34:59I do the same thing I told you that I never would
35:02Told you I changed
35:03Even when I knew I never could
35:05Know that I can't find nobody else as good as you
35:08Need you to stay
35:11When I'm away from you, I miss your touch
35:14You're the reason I believe in love
35:18It's been difficult for me to trust
35:20And I'm afraid that I'ma mess it up
35:24Ain't no way that I can leave you stranded
35:27Cause you ain't ever let me empty, can't it?
35:30And you know that I know that I can't live without you
35:34So baby, stay
35:36I'll do the same thing I told you that I never would
35:41Even when I knew I never could
35:44But nobody else as good as you, stay, stay
35:53Even when I knew I never could
35:56But nobody else as good as you, stay, stay
36:23Trey, fantastic, always great to see you
36:26We, all three of us judges
36:27We look forward to seeing you
36:29You're always a real trip
36:30That sounds easy to sing that song
36:33But it's not
36:34It's fast, it's lyrical, it's melodic
36:37You've swapped it all around too
36:39You've only got to cut the time down
36:42You have to learn the lyrics
36:43You have to put the nice clean lyrics in
36:45Bro, you're doing a lot up there
36:48And also, you're a true beautiful human being
36:52A man, a father, a partner
36:54That's what I really enjoy
36:56And I was at the Leroy's house in LA a year or so ago
37:01And he's a sweetheart too
37:03His mum wouldn't let him go out
37:04Until we all sat down and ate dinner
37:06The kid Leroy's mum wouldn't let him go out
37:09I love that
37:09Until he finished dinner
37:11And now that's the sort of man you are
37:13You're polite
37:14You nail it lyrically
37:15You're a true artist
37:17Good luck tonight
37:18Well done, man
37:19Thank you, Colin
37:20Thank you
37:27Trey, it's so nice to have someone
37:28Who's actually truly and utterly representing R&B
37:32In the way you do
37:34And you know, there's just a very smooth, cool person
37:40That I see up here
37:41Who is willing to not only be cool and smooth
37:44But to perform and sing his butt off
37:47Because every time you sing for us
37:49You go for it
37:50And that's all we can ask
37:52You know, I'm impressed
37:53I'm so impressed with your performance
37:55And the man that you are, like Kyle said
37:56Wow, thank you, Marcia
37:59Thank you so much
38:03I mean, you're so ready for the world stage, Trey
38:06Like, you're just so slick up there
38:08And I think, like
38:09The coolest thing about this show
38:11Is we really get to know you guys
38:12And seeing that video of you
38:15Being really vulnerable
38:16And really emotional
38:17About the journey
38:18It just
38:19It just shows the country
38:21That you are real
38:22And there are so many ways
38:24Artists make their way
38:25Into their careers
38:26And I'm always
38:27I always gravitate to, like, the tortured artist
38:29You know
38:30And I feel like I'm one myself
38:32It's just like
38:33There are so many
38:34So many topics to write about
38:36And memories
38:37And things
38:38And I just
38:38I'm so excited to hear all your stories one day
38:41Because I just know you're going to do
38:43Really cool shit
38:44So keep doing that
38:46Because you are amazing
38:47Thank you so much
38:49That means a lot
38:49Thank you
38:51Trey, that was awesome
38:53Thank you
38:53That was awesome
38:54Your girls are over there yelling
38:56Dad!
38:57Dad!
38:58Hi, beautiful girls
38:59We've got family here this week
39:00My in-laws
39:01Auntie Niv
39:02Ben and Jazz
39:04Best friends
39:04Love it
39:05Yeah, so it's really special
39:06Love it
39:07Trey, how do you think that went?
39:09And bustle
39:09And bustle
39:11Yeah, I think it went well
39:13You know, I wanted to challenge myself
39:15And show some versatility
39:16I know, you know, I've done the ballads
39:18The slow stuff
39:19And the Kid Leroy's got, you know
39:20It's a big pop
39:21Fast tempo
39:22So, yeah, there's not enough
39:24There's not a lot of time to do the riffs
39:26And the
39:26It's a lot of lyrics
39:27So, yeah, it was a challenge
39:28You still put the Trey spin on it
39:30It was awesome
39:30That's right
39:30We did see in that video
39:32Some vision
39:33Of little Trey
39:34Yeah
39:34Looking absolutely adorable
39:37Little Trey, little cutie
39:39What would you think
39:40Little Trey
39:41Would think of you being here
39:42On this stage tonight
39:44Doing your thing
39:44I think that he would be
39:46Really proud
39:49I've gone through a lot
39:51In this journey
39:51How long has it been?
39:5316 year journey of mine so far
39:54So, to be up here
39:56Still, like I said
39:57I think in the clip
39:58You know, with the same heart
40:00And, you know
40:00I haven't let the negativity
40:02Get to me
40:03And change me as a human
40:03So, I think he would be proud of that
40:07Well said
40:08Well said

41:20Samella is taking on
41:21Bachelor Girls
41:22Buses and Trains
41:23And she got some performance tips
41:25Straight from the Bachelor girl
41:26Herself
41:27Tanya Doko
41:28Take a look
41:36I'm in the top ten
41:37Of Australian Idol
41:39It's wild
41:40I'm a mum
41:42And I'm a teacher
41:42From Adelaide
41:43And I can't believe
41:45I got through the auditions
41:46Let alone like top ten
41:47It's just
41:48It's honestly
41:49A dream come true
41:50Just a few weeks ago
41:52I was posting TikTok covers
41:54And one of the songs
41:55I've covered
41:56Is Buses and Trains
41:57By Bachelor Girl
42:01I loved what it was about
42:03All the things I've done
42:04In my life
42:05That have led
42:06To this moment
42:07So I needed to sing
42:09This song for Aussie Week
42:10I'm lucky enough
42:11To now have a chat
42:13With Tanya Doko
42:15From Bachelor Girl
42:16They have won
42:17An ARIA award
42:18And Buses and Trains
42:19Is one of the most
42:20Played songs
42:21On radio
42:22Ever
42:22Hi
42:23Tanya
42:24Hello
42:24Oh my god
42:25Samella
42:26How are you feeling?
42:27I'm feeling very grateful
42:28To be here
42:29Honestly
42:29It's been a journey
42:31It's been full on
42:32But I'm so happy
42:33To be here
42:34That's exactly
42:35The spirit
42:36Yeah
42:37Which you should
42:38Attack this
42:39So
42:39What's your advice
42:40On singing this song?
42:42As performers
42:43We overthink everything
42:44Like if you tense up
42:46And you know
42:47Turtleneck
42:47And shoulders up
42:48You could actually
42:49Get in your head
42:50Just be in it
42:52Sing the song for you
42:53And your kids too
42:55Because if you're not loving it
42:57Nobody else will be
42:58So seize the moment
43:00Because it's pretty awesome
43:01What you're doing
43:02I cannot wait to
43:03To perform this Tanya
43:04And thank you so much
43:05For our chat
43:07And your advice
43:08It's amazing
43:09Yay
43:09Last week
43:10I was safe
43:11But this week
43:13Knowing I faced
43:13The public vote
43:14It's a very vulnerable
43:15Place to be
43:16Honestly
43:17I'm terrified
43:18But I'm going to use that
43:20As leverage
43:20And I'm going to get Australia
43:22To back me
43:28Hey mum
43:30Why didn't you tell me
43:34Why didn't you teach me
43:36A thing or two
43:39You just let me go
43:41Out into the world
43:45You never thought
43:46To share what you knew
43:50So I walked on the rain bus
43:53I got hit by a train
43:55And it felt so good
43:58I want to do it again
44:02Hey mum
44:05Why didn't you want me
44:07Cause the bad boys
44:10Was something
44:10I should have known
44:13They're like chocolate cakes
44:17Like cigarettes
44:18I know they're bad for me
44:21But I just can't leave
44:22Them alone
44:24So I walked on the rain bus
44:27I got hit by a train
44:30Kept falling in love
44:33Which is kind of the same
44:35I sunk out and see
44:38Crash my car
44:39Going insane
44:41And it felt so good
44:44I want to do it again
44:46I want to do it again
44:57So I walked on the rain bus
45:00I got hit by a train
45:03Kept falling in love
45:06Which is kind of the same
45:09Sunk out and see
45:11Crash my car
45:13Going insane
45:14And it felt so good
45:17And it felt so good
