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.
02:07Reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
02:09Reach 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.
18:49You don't have to change a thing.
18:51The world could change its heart.
18:53No stars, you're beautiful.
18:56With stars, we're beautiful.
19:16Oh Jacinta you know what sometimes you're amazing tonight's one of those nights did

21:01Sunday night show received the lowest number of votes Jacinta then performed in what could be her

35:39What the actual harlot is going on

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?
36:41Wonder who?

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
37:09In the top eight
37:11For Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela
37:14Their future hangs in the balance
37:17Alright everybody

37:43From Adelaide
37:45Last night
37:47You sang the iconic Aussie classic
37:49Buses and Trains
37:51The judges loved it
37:52But it's Australia
37:54Who has the final say
37:56How are your palms right now?
37:58Give me a little clammy
37:59Clammy palms test
38:00Very clammy
38:02Very very clammy
38:03Confirmed
38:04Okay Samela
38:05Australia voted
38:06And I can now reveal
38:08You
38:09Are
38:16Safe
38:17Oh my god
38:21Congratulations
38:22Samela
38:22You are in the top eight
38:24Congratulations
38:24Go and celebrate in the lounge
38:26With Trey
38:26Well done Samela
38:30Alright
38:31Next up
38:32We have got
38:34Juan Wu
38:36Come on over here
38:38Hi girl
38:38Hi
38:40Should we just rip the bandaid off
38:42Cause that face
38:43Look like
38:43Please take it off
38:45Okay
38:46We'll do it gently
38:47Okay
38:47Cause 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
38:58I can confirm
38:59That you are
39:06In the bottom two
39:10Alright that really isn't the result that you wanted right?
39:14Not at all
39:14Not at all
39:15But Australia voted
39:16And I just have to prove Australia wrong
39:18Yeah you do
39:19Yeah you do
39:21I can see the judges
39:22Marsha's pointing right now
39:23Do you want to say something Marsha?
39:25I think that's exactly right
39:26You know
39:27This is the hardest part
39:28Because we don't have anything to do with this
39:31And people are watching
39:32And this is what they're voting for
39:34And I think at this point in time
39:35They're wrong
39:36Yeah
39:37We see it a lot
39:39Good people on this show
39:40Go home
39:41Over to the danger zone there
39:43Wanwoo
39:44Crossing our fingers for you
39:45Oh damn
39:46Alright lucky last
39:48Come on over Harlan and Charlie
39:51One of you will make it safely
39:54Into the top eight
39:56While the other will be singing for your life
39:59Alongside Wanwoo
40:00Harlan you took on the mighty John Farnham last night
40:06Yes
40:06A risky move that may or may not have paid off
40:10You know how protective Aussies are of Farnsey
40:13Don't you?
40:15Yes
40:15Yes
40:16Alright Charlie
40:17You were a little bit under the weather last night
40:20But you still powered through your performance
40:22Let's hope your cold didn't impact your chances there
40:26Hopefully not
40:27Alright
40:27The next name I read out is safe
40:31And through to the top eight
40:58Congratulations you survived another week go and celebrate with the others
41:02Yes
41:05So unfortunately Charlie you have been voted into the bottom two
41:09What do you make of that?
41:11You know it's unfortunate I had a cold and I felt disappointed that I couldn't give it everything
41:16I had the other night and sometimes that's the way that it is
41:19But you did you gave it everything you possibly could
41:22Yeah
41:22Yeah
41:23Wanwoo come over here and join us
41:25Wanwoo and Charlie
41:28You both need to sing for us again
41:30Which I'm personally excited about
41:32For one of you though it will be the last time on the idol stage
41:37Head backstage both of you and get ready to perform
41:40Tense times for Wanwoo and Charlie
41:43Both receiving the least amount of votes from last night's shot
41:50Amy I can see that you're a little shocked with that result there
41:53Well it's funny Scotty because then I look over and I'm like
41:57Who would I have expected to go?
41:59I don't know who I would have ever expected to go
42:02You know it's just a really crappy part of the competition
42:05I wish we didn't have to go through
42:06I also didn't mean to wear the horrible red colour of the verdict
42:10Every time it goes red I feel like I'm triggering everyone
42:12So sorry
42:14I mean it is a reality of this part of the competition
42:17Everyone is so amazingly talented
42:19So we are going to be losing really talented people every night
42:22Kyle no doubt there have been some times in your career
42:25Where you've had some high pressure moments like this
42:28How do you stay focused?
42:29Oh here we go
42:29When it matters most
42:31What a week to bring that up
42:32I can't think of anything
42:36Ricky just went off script then
42:37She just wanted to ask that
42:39I've had a few moments
42:41High stakes
42:42It is high stakes
42:43You know what last night was the toughest one
42:46We couldn't figure out
42:47I think Sunday nights we all figured out
42:50Who was going to be in the bottom two
42:51But last night that was anyone's race
42:53Yes it was
42:54You know but Ricky you've been here
42:56You know what this is like
42:57Absolutely
42:58More than anybody you know
42:59And so it's not easy
43:01But you just got to keep going girlfriend
43:02You sure do
43:03That's the name of the game
43:04That's true
43:05Okay well their future is far from certain
43:07Both will perform again
43:09To show that they have what it takes
43:10To remain in the competition
43:12One will go through to the top eight
43:13And the other one will leave for good
43:16First up to sing
43:17Is our soul man from Perth
43:20Charlie
43:20Our beanie boy
43:22Has wowed the judges
43:23With every soulful song
43:26He has performed on this stage
43:28With another soulful spin
43:30On dancing on my own
43:32Make some noise
43:33For Charlie
43:54Somebody said you got a new friend
44:02Does he love you better than I can
44:11Yeah I know it's stupid
44:14But I just gotta see it for myself
44:19I'm in the corner
44:21Watching you kiss her
44:24Oh-ho-ho-ho
44:26No-no
44:28And I'm giving him up
44:30I'm not the guy you're taking home
44:34Oh-ho-ho-ho
44:37I keep dancing on my own
44:40Oh-ho-ho-ho-ho
44:45But you don't see me standing here
44:57Thank you
45:00Thank you
45:00Thank you
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 of it today?
45:11Just a smidge
45:11But we're pretty much topside
45:13We're feeling a lot better
45:14A lot better
45:15Hey sorry you're in the bottom two
45:17But great job tonight
45:18If you get through more of that
45:20More of the same
45:21More of that Charlie
45:22We love
45:22Good luck man
45:23I would love to do more of that
45:24Thank you Carl
45:25Thank you
45:28Charlie
45:29Your consistency is 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 to 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
45:44Okay
45:45And that's what you did well Charlie
45:47Really well
45:47You did great
45:48Thank you Marcia
45:49Thank you
45:49Thank you
45:53Charlie you're just like
45:54One of these artists
45:56That is
45:56You'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
46:04You've
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
46:12And I just
46:13No matter what happens
46:15I really hope you get in the studio
46:16And tell all these stories
46:18Because I'm excited for your career
46:21Thank you
46:22Thank you
46:22That would be fantastic
46:24Thank you so much guys
46:25Thank you
46:27Oh Charlie

46:30I'm feeling good
46:30You know
46:31I'm kind of glad I got a chance
46:33To 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

46:39If you want to head over there
46:40Right now
46:41We're moments away
46:42From finding out Charlie's fate
46:44But before that
46:45We've got to hear from Wanwoo
46:47On the other side of the break
46:48Then we'll find out
46:50Who is leaving Idle
46:51For good
46:52Charlie or Wanwoo

47:09We found out
47:09Wanwoo and Charlie
47:11Received the 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 from
47:19Dancing on my own

47:36Always cheering her on
47:37From the crowd
47:38To show she is worthy
47:40Of continuing

47:42Singing
47:42Price tag by Jessie J
47:44This is Wanwoo

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
49:47Thank you
49:47You know, back when we were doing the challenges
49:49You were so good, um, with Jacinta
49:51I remember that
49:52And the other night you shouted out Sophie
49:54And I just think that that's just such a, um
49:57It's such an important thing as an artist to never lose that
50:00And that's what makes you the whole package
50:02So, um, good luck tonight
50:04Another amazing performance
50:05Thank you, Amy
50:12That was one of your strongest performances
50:15You really, uh, you've stepped up
50:19You've stepped up
50:20You've stepped up, you know
50:21And I mean
50:22I don't know that you knew you could be this good
50:26I did not
50:27I know you didn't
50:28But I am so proud of you
50:29And you've done so well
50:31Thank you
50:32Juan Wu, God bless you
50:37Juan Wu, not only have you showed to everyone that works
50:41Behind the scenes
50:41In front of the cameras
50:42Behind the cameras
50:43What a beautiful human being you are
50:45As Amy and Marsha pointed out
50:47But you're a gorgeous woman
50:49Your voice is so rich
50:52Beautiful
50:52And you know what I
50:55I would hate for you to go home tonight
50:57Without teaching me how to do that
50:59That hip roll thing
51:00Because that was sexy
51:01Nuh-uh
51:02Nuh-uh, no
