00:30Another day is going out, 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?

02:29Nice
02:30Yes
02:31Wow
02:33Wowee
02:33Keep the applause going for your Australian Idol judges
02:40Judges, you'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 as your idols took on an all Aussie music
02:57playlist
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 and it was absolutely
03:11incredible
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 and we are
03:30now verifying the numbers before we reveal the results
03:33Sunday nights
03:34Sunday night's heat
03:35Sunday night's heat had Johnny Jigbox from Bunbury NWA
03:40Our Central Coast Landscaper Kalani
03:43Our Central Coast Landscaper Kalani
03:45And forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh Jacinta
03:50Plus 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 let's do this
04:23Take me back to the sweet time
04:26The hot nights
04:28When everything is gonna be alright
04:30In the summertime
04:31What a way to kick off the show man
04:33Baby in the summertime
04:35Nice work
04:36It was so exciting I 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 ya
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 you're a nicer guy than that
05:07Artists grow and I think
05:08He'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
05:35Yeah
05:36And 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
05:55Getting the judges save is like
05:57I can't even comprehend
06:00Now 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
06:19And I don't want to go
06:20It'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
06:40Kyle and Marsha
06:41Everyone 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
07:00My mum rang me the other night
07:02And 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
07:10I loved it
07:11So beautiful
07:12Amy the two idols from each heat with the lowest votes
07:16Will sing again tonight
07:17To 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're always
07:32We always like to hear another artist perform
07:34Absolutely
07:35Don'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

14:43Wow
14:44Which means, Jacinta, Australia has voted and has put you in the bottom two
14:51Jacinta, how do you, how do you feel?
14:53Did you expect that?
14:55Um, look, I mean, no one, no one comes into this expecting to be in the bottom two
14:59But, you know, I've been in, in the, in bottom places for a long time
15:03So, 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
15:14Now, having received the least amount of votes from Sunday night, unfortunately you both face elimination
15:21Which means you'll sing again to show Australia why you deserve to be here next week
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, how does that sit with you?
15:41I mean, it's just difficult, right? Because we're, they got through all these challenges
15:45I just think that they should try and see this as positive as they can, you know
15:50We are at the pointy end of the whole competition, they have done so well
15:54So I hope they get out there and just give it everything they have
15:56Just 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
16:31Not 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
16:42They're going to charity things, they're doing interviews
16:44Yeah, it's relentless
16:45It's 24-7 these kids
16:47They're working, okay?
16:47I'm super impressed
16:48And that's totally impressive
16:50It's wonderful
16:51Yeah, it is
16:51Super impressive
16:52Yeah
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, 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, well Harry and Jacinta
17:13Face 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

33:51the tension is getting too much Scotty I can't handle it
33:54it's a lot it's a lot in here

34:15plus young dad Trey

34:33Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy

34:49and you did it tonight
34:50well done
34:51hoping I've done enough
34:52I gave it every single bit of juice that I had
34:54there'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.
35:13Others 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 parked.
35:27And one idol dared to take on Aussie music royalty.
35:39What 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.
35:51I'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.
36:07Because 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.
36:24Now, it all comes down to this.
36:28Everyone's saying there's the best day at 11.
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?
36:42Wonder who?
36:43Wonder who?
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.
37:17Alright everybody, let'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 clammy, clammy palms test.
38:01So sweaty.
38:01Very clammy.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:04Confirmed.
38:04Okay Samela, Australia voted.
38:06And I can now reveal.
38:09You.
38:09You.
38:10Are.
38:16Safe.
38:19Oh my God.
38:21Congratulations Samela.
38:22Thank you so much.
38:22You are in the top eight.
38:24Congratulations.

38:30Good on.
38:31All right, next up, we have got Wan Woo.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hi girl, hi.
38:39Oh, shall 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 Can't Touch It.
38:50and nailed it Ricky loved it but did Australia after the nation voted I can
38:58confirm that you are
39:07in the bottom two all right that really isn't the result that you wanted right
39:13not at all not at all but Australia voted and I just have to prove Australia
39:18wrong yeah yeah I can see the judges Marsha's pointing right now you'll say
39:24something I think that's exactly right you know this is the hardest part because
39:28we don't have anything to do with this and people are watching and this is what
39:33they're voting for and I think at this point in time they're wrong yeah good
39:39people this show go home over to the danger zone there Wanwoo crossing our
39:45fingers for you damn all right lucky last come on over Harlan and Charlie one of
39:52you will make it safely into the top eight while the other will be singing for
39:58your life alongside Wanwoo Harlan you took on the mighty John Farnham last night
40:06yes a risky move that may or may not have paid off you know how protective
40:12Aussies are of Farnsie don't you yes yes all right Charlie you were a little bit
40:19under the weather last night but you still powered through your performance
40:22let's hope your cold didn't impact your chances there hopefully not all right the
40:29next name I read out is safe and through to the top eight and that person is
40:55Harlan you my friend are in the top eight congratulations you survived another week go and celebrate with the others
41:02yes
41:06so unfortunately Charlie you have been voted into the bottom two what do you
41:10make of that oh you know it's unfortunate I had a cold and I I felt disappointed
41:15that I couldn't give it everything I had the other night and sometimes that's the
41:18way that it is but you did you gave it everything you possibly could yeah yeah
41:23yeah Wanwoo come over here and join us Wanwoo and Charlie you both need to sing for
41:30us again which I'm personally excited about for one of you though it will be the
41:34last time on the idle stage head backstage both of you and get ready to perform
41:40tense times for Wanwoo and Charlie both receiving it the least amount of votes from
41:48last night's shot Amy I can see that you're a little shocked with that result there well
41:54it's funny Scotty because then I look over and I'm like like who would I have
41:58expected to go I don't know who I would have ever expected to go you know it's
42:03just a really crappy part of the competition I wish we didn't have to go
42:06through I also didn't mean to wear the horrible red color of the verdict every
42:10time it goes red I feel like I'm triggering everyone so sorry I mean it was a
42:15reality of this part of the competition everyone is so amazingly talented so we are
42:19going to be losing really talented people every night Kyle no doubt there have been
42:24sometimes in your career where you've had some high-pressure moments like this how
42:28do you stay focused oh here we go when it matters most what a week to bring that up
42:32I can't think of anything Ricky just went off script then she just she just I've had a few moments
42:40uh yeah high stakes it is high stakes you know what last night was the toughest one we couldn't we
42:47couldn't figure out I think Sunday nights we all figured out who we can be in the bottom two but
42:51last night that was anyone's race yes it was you know but Ricky you've been here you know what this
42:57is
42:57like more than anybody you know and so it's not easy but you just got to keep going girlfriend you
43:02sure do that's the name of the game that's true okay well their future is far from certain both will
43:08perform again to show that they have what it takes to remain in the competition one will go through to
43:13the top eight and the other one will leave for good first up to sing is our soul man from
43:19Perth

45:03I'm Charlie.
45:04You've got a great voice.
45:05You're a great guy.
45:06You always over deliver.
45:08How's the cold going?
45:09You still got a little bit of it today?
45:11Just a smidge, but 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, but great job tonight.
45:19If you get through more of that, more of the same,
45:21more of that, Charlie, we love.
45:23Good luck, man.
45:23I would love to do more of that.
45:24Thank you, Carl.
45:29Charlie, your consistency is one of the best things.
45:32And, you know, as Amy and I are so aware,
45:35and I think Carl would be, when 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 and do what you've got to do.
45:45Okay?
45:45And that's what you did well, Charlie.
45:47Really well.
45:48You did great.
45:48Thank you, Marsha.
45:53Um, Charlie, you're just like one of these artists that is,
45:56you're just so real.
45:58I said this to Trey the other night.
45:59You've got, I can just feel it in your conviction.
46:03Like you've got stories to tell.
46:04You've, you've seen the lowest of lows and the highest of highs,
46:08and I can see the love and happiness,
46:10but also the pain you've been through and everything.
46:13And I just, no matter what happens,
46:15I really hope you get in the studio and tell all these stories,
46:18because I'm excited for your career.
46:22Definitely.
46:22Thank you, Amy.
46:23That would be fantastic.
46:25Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie.
46:28How you feeling after that?
46:30I'm feeling good, you know.
46:31I'm kind of glad I got a chance to sing again and be like,
46:34hey, look, this is what I can do when I'm at full health.
46:36Oh, yeah.
46:36We love hearing you sing, Charlie.
46:38Love hearing.
46:39All right, Charlie, if you want to head over there right now,
46:41we're moments away from finding out Charlie's fate.
46:44But before that, we've got to hear from Wan Woo
46:47on the other side of the break.
46:49Then we'll find out who is leaving Idle for good,
46:52Charlie or Wan Woo.
46:54Stay with us, Idle.
46:55We'll be back right after this.
47:06You're watching Idle and we are live.
47:08Before the break, we found out Wan Woo and Charlie received
47:11the fewest votes from last night's show.
47:13In a last bid sing off to show that they should stay
47:16in the competition, Charlie just gave us a performance
47:19from Dancing On My Own by Callum Scott.
47:22Yes.
47:22And now it's Wan Woo's moment.
47:25Wan Woo is our all singing, all rapping star performer.
47:30We have been amazed by her performances week after week
47:34with Mum Yassa always cheering her on from the crowd
47:38to show she is worthy of continuing her Idle journey.
47:42Singing Price Tag by Jessie J.
47:44This is Wan Woo.
47:52Wan Woo!
48:07Let's do it!
48:09There we go.
48:13It seems like everybody's got a crowd
48:16And I wonder how they 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 got your heads on top
48:31And you're healed so hard
48:33That you can't even have a good time
48:35Everybody look to the earth
48:39Everybody look to the earth
48:40Can you feel like you're playing with love tonight
48:44And it's not 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 prize dance
48:55We don't want your arm to change your chair
48:59We don't need your care
49:00We don't need your pain
49:01We want to make the world dance
49:04Forget about the prize dance
49:23Thank you everyone
49:26And Wanwoo, 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.
50:02So good luck tonight.
50:04Another amazing performance.
50:06Thank you, Amy.
50:12That was one of your strongest performances.
50:16You really, you've stepped up, you've stepped up, you've stepped up,
50:21you know, and 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.
50:31Juan Wu, God bless you.
50:37Juan Wu, 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, beautiful.
50:52And you know what I, I would hate for you to go home tonight
50:57without teaching me how to do that, that hip roll thing,
51:00because that was sexy, man.
51:02No, no, no.
51:03That shit was sexy.
51:05I like it.
51:06I like it a lot.
51:09Come on, Carl, give it a go.
51:11I don't know, should I?
51:12Come on, Carl.
51:13Yes.
51:15Come on, Carl.
51:16Oh, no, no, no, no.
51:29You get a, you get a host save for that.
51:32It's a guess from us.
51:34It's a lot wobbling.
51:35I think we're still in the wrong place.
51:37Give it up for Juan Wu, everybody.
51:39Thank you, everyone.
51:43Another fantastic performance.
51:45Well done.
51:46And welcome back, Charlie.
51:49All right.
51:50Take a deep breath, everybody.
51:53The time has come.
51:54One of you is safe.
51:56And one of you will be leaving idle tonight.
52:00Hit the lights.
52:01Let's do this.
52:04Charlie and Juan Wu, it is time.
52:09Australia, you had 24 hours to vote.
52:13It's your decision.
52:15The results are on this card, fully counted and verified.
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, for Chris.
52:38One, for Chris.
52:40One, for Chris!
52:40One, for Chris!
52:42One, for Chris!
52:43One, for Chris!
52:45Charlie!
52:54Congratulations, Charlie.
52:56You are safe for another week.
52:59Are you stoked?
53:01I'm super stoked.
53:02Thank you so much for voting for me.
53:04Thank you to everyone at home in WA.
53:06This means the world.
53:07I will not take this for light.
53:10I'm coming back and coming back strong.
53:12Thank you so much.
53:14Well done, Charlie.
53:15You are through to the top eight.
53:17You can join the gang in the lounge now.
53:21Unfortunately, though, that does mean we need to farewell.
53:25One.
53:25Woo, I'm so stoked.
53:27It's so bad.
53:28It's okay, everybody.
53:29There's only one, one, woo.
