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're beautiful.
18:49You don't have to change a thing.
18:51The world could change its heart.
18:53No stars, you're beautiful.

26:15And sort of getting to experience what it's like being this high up in show business
26:19Has been amazing
26:20Obviously all the friends that I've made
26:22It's been phenomenal
26:23Some of them aren't here
26:24Some of them are here
26:25So I've had such a great time
26:27They're friends who have for the rest of your life Harry
26:29Truly
26:30Judges, anything to add before Harry leaves the idol stage?
26:34I think what Marsha said, you really do have an incredible rock voice
26:38It's crazy
26:39It's really unique
26:39You 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
26:45And hopefully all goes well
26:47It can be a model, it can be a hairdresser, it can be a singer
26:50What can't he do?
26:52You've got so many opportunities and options
26:54Unlike the rest of us
26:55Some of us only have one
26:58Good luck man
26:59Good luck Harry
26:59I hope to see you in the future
27:01Nice to meet you

31:52Wow, that was so smooth
31:54So cool
31:56Bhujara, your list of accolades is huge for someone so young
32:01Amongst so many of the things that you've done
32:04You've performed at the AFL Grand Final
32:05You've toured with Ed Sheeran
32:07Won a stack of awards
32:08What would you say is the highlight for you?
32:11Oh, you know, um
32:13I guess this is my highlight
32:15I used to love watching American Idol as a kid
32:18And my mum used to have dreams that I would be singing on American Idol
32:21And here we are
32:22Here you are, an Australian Idol
32:24Doing your thing
32:25You suave gentleman you
32:27The song we just heard gentlemen
32:30A suave sexy R&B number
32:32Tell us a little bit about
32:33A little bit about it
32:34Yeah, well gentlemen is my new single
32:36I just wanted to
32:37I like dressing up
32:39So I thought this would be the perfect song
32:42And it's out now
32:44It's from my new album gentlemen
32:46You can pre-order
32:47It's out on the 24th of July
32:49Yeah
32:49Nice

32:53Of course
32:55You can download and stream Gentlemen right now
32:58And get the new album on July 24 Australia
33:01Give it up for Bhujara!
33:08Okay, it's business time
33:10And right after the break
33:11We find out who you voted into the top 8 from last night's show
33:15Already there is our doting dad Trey from Melbourne, Victoria
33:20Who the judges
33:22Who got the judges saved?
33:23And that leaves Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela
33:26All facing elimination
33:28One must go home
33:30Don't move a muscle
33:31Idol is back in a moment
33:44This is Australian Idol's live voting show
33:47and we're about to find out who stays and who goes
33:49from last night's show.
33:52The tension is getting too much, Scotty.
33:54I can't handle it.
33:55It's a lot. It's a lot in here.
33:56Well, there are a record number of votes that we received
33:58as you voted for who you wanted to save.
34:01Last night, we saw performances from our Perth soul man, Charlie.
34:07Brisbane Ballot King Harlan.
34:10And our all-singing, all-rapping Wan Woo.
34:15Plus young dad, Trey.
34:19And Adelaide schoolteacher, Samella.
34:23They went all out and left nothing on the stage.
34:28Let's take a look at how last night played out.
34:33Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
34:36One, two, three, come on.
34:39The Aussie party kept on coming.
34:42I said I had a dream someday.
34:45So individual and so different and you know what you need to do
34:49and you did it tonight.
34:51Well done.
34:51Hoping I've done enough, but I gave it every single bit of juice
34:54that I had.
34:55There's nothing left in the tank, you know.
34:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
34:58Some performances were untouchable.
35:03That was Grammy performance right there.
35:06Come on.
35:06Woo!
35:07R to the R to the CKR.
35:10Rikki Lee, girl.
35:11Yeah, 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.
35:28And 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 smacked it.
35:52I'll be messed up if you can't be right here.
35:55But one hit song was turned into a moment of idol magic.
36:04You're so ready for the world stage, Trey.
36:07Because 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 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 one.
36:43We're the one, two.
36:43And now I'm in the top ten.
36:45Get me through to the top eight.
36:51What a night.
36:53Everyone brought their A game
36:55and every performance was incredible.
36:58I can't pick how this is going to go tonight.
37:00It really is anyone's game.
37:02With Trey scoring the judge save,
37:04he can relax over there in the lounge
37:07knowing he has a guaranteed place in the top eight.
37:11For Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo and Samela,
37:15their future hangs in the balance.
37:18All right, everybody.
37:19Let's do this.
37:20Hit the lights.
37:23Idols, in no particular order,
37:26when we call your name, come on over.
37:30First up, Samela.
37:38Hello, how are you?
37:40Hello, guys, I'm good.
37:41Samela, our mum and teacher from Adelaide.
37:46Last night, you sang the iconic Aussie classic,
37:50Buses and Trains.
37:51The judges loved it,
37:52but it's Australia who has the final say.
37:57How are your palms right now?
37:58Give me a little clammy palms test.
38:01Very clammy.
38:02So sweaty.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:03Confirmed.
38:04OK, Samela, Australia voted
38:06and I can now reveal
38:09you
38:10are
38:16safe.
38:17Oh, my God.
38:21Congratulations, Samela.
38:22Thank you so much.
38:22You are in the top eight.
38:24Congratulations.
38:24Go and celebrate in the lounge with Trey.
38:27Well done, Samela.
38:30All right, next up,
38:32we have got
38:34Wan-Wu.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hi, girl.
38:38Hi.
38:39Oh, should we just rip the band-aid off?
38:42Because that face looks like...
38:44Lee, take it off!
38:45OK, we'll do it gently.
38:47OK, because you sang Ricky Lee's
38:49Can't Touch It.
38:50And nailed it.
38:51Ricky loved it,
38:53but did Australia.
38:55After the nation voted,
38:57after the nation voted,
38:58I can confirm
38:59that you are...
39:07in the bottom two.
39:10All right, that really isn't the result that you wanted, right?
39:14Not at all, not at all.
39:15But Australia voted,
39:16and I just have to prove Australia wrong.
39:19Yeah, you do.
39:20100%, yeah.
39:20Yeah, you do.
39:21I can see the judges.
39:22Marsha's pointing right now.
39:24Do you want to say something, Marsha?
39:25Yeah, I think that's exactly right.
39:27You know, this is the hardest part
39:28because we don't have anything 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,
39:35mm-mm, they're wrong.
39:37Yeah.
39:37Oh, there she goes.
39:38We see it a lot.
39:40Good people on this show go home.
39:41Over to the danger zone there, Wanwoo.
39:44Crossing our fingers for you.
39:46Oh, damn.
39:47All right, lucky last.
39:48Come on over, Harlan and Charlie.
39:51One of you will make it safely
39:55into the top eight,
39:56while the other will be singing for your life
39:59alongside Wanwoo.
40:01Harlan, you took on
40:02the mighty John Farnham last night.
40:06Yes.
40:07A risky move that may or may not have paid off.
40:11You know how protective Aussies are of Farnsey,
40:14don't you?
40:14Yes.
40:15Yes?
40:16All right.
40:17Charlie, you 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.
40:27All right.
40:28The next name I read out is
40:31Safe and through to the top eight.
40:34And that person is...
40:49Harlan!
40:52Thank you, guys.
40:55Well done, Harlan.
40:56You, my friend, are in the top eight.
40:59Congratulations.
40:59You survived another week.
41:01Go and celebrate with the others.
41:03Yes.
41:06So, unfortunately, Charlie,
41:08you've been voted into the bottom two.
41:10What do you make of that?
41:11Oh, you know, it's unfortunate.
41:13I had a cold and I felt disappointed
41:15that I couldn't give it everything
41:16that I had the other night,
41:17and sometimes that's the way that it is.
41:19But you did.
41:20You gave it everything you possibly could.
41:22Yeah.
41:23Yeah.
41:23Wan-woo, come over here and join us.
41:26Wan-woo and Charlie,
41:28you both need to sing for us again,
41:30which I'm personally excited about.
41:33For one of you, though,
41:34it will be the last time on the Idol stage.
41:37Head backstage, both of you,
41:38and get ready to perform
41:41tense times for Wan-woo and Charlie,
41:43both receiving the least amount of votes
41:47from last night's shot.
41:50Amy, I can see that you're a little shocked
41:53with that result there.
41:54Well, it's funny, Scotty,
41:55because 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
42:04of the competition.
42:05I wish we didn't have to go through.
42:06I also didn't mean to wear
42:07the horrible red colour of the verdict.
42:10Every time it goes red,
42:11I feel like I'm triggering everyone.
42:12So, sorry.
42:14I mean, it is the reality
42:15of this part of the competition.
42:17Everyone is so amazingly talented,
42:19so we are going to be losing
42:20really talented people every night.
42:23Kyle, no doubt there have been
42:24some times in your career
42:25where you've had some high-pressure moments
42:27like 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.
42:38She just wanted to ask that.
42:39I've had a few moments.
42:40It's high stakes.
42:42It is high stakes.
42:43You know what?
42:44Last night was the toughest one.
42:46We couldn't figure out.
42:48I think Sunday nights,
42:49we all figured out
42:50who we were going to be
42:51in the bottom two,
42:51but last night,
42:52that was anyone's race.
42:53Yes, it was.
42:54You know, but Ricky,
42:55you've been here.
42:56You know what this is like
42:57more 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.
43:05Well, their future is far from certain.
43:08Both will perform again
43:09to show that they have
43:09what it takes to remain
43:11in the competition.
43:12One will go through
43:13to the top eight
43:13and the other one
43:15will leave for good.
43:16First up to sing
43:17is our soul man
43:19from Perth,
43:20Charlie.
43:21Our Beanie Boy
43:22has wowed the judges
43:23with every soulful song
43:26he has performed
43:27on this stage.
43:28With another soulful spin
43:30on Dancing On My Own,
43:32make some noise
43:33for Charlie.
43:54Somebody said
43:56you've got a new friend
44:02Does he love you
44:05better than I can?
44:11Yeah, I know it's stupid
44:14But I just gotta see it
44:17for myself
44:19I'm in the corner
44:21Watching you kiss her
44:24Oh, no, no
44:27And I give it in my
44:29I'm not the guy
44:32you're taking home
44:34Oh, I keep dancing
44:38on my own
44:44But you don't see me still
44:49I'm standing here
45:03Oh, Charlie.
45:04You've got a great voice.
45:05You're a great guy.
45:06Always over deliver.
45:08How's the cold going?
45:09You still got a little bit
45:10of it today?
45:11Just a smidge,
45:12but we're pretty much topside.
45:13We're feeling a lot better.
45:14A lot better.
45:15Hey, sorry you're in the bottom two
45:17but great job tonight.
45:18If you get through
45:19more of that
45:20more of the same
45:21more of that, Charlie
45:22we love.
45:23Good luck, man.
45:23I would love to do more of that.
45:24Thank you, Carl.
45:28Charlie,
45:29your consistency
45:30is one of the best things
45:32and you know
45:33as Amy and I
45:35are so aware
45:35and I think Carl would be
45:36when you're not 100%
45:38it's so hard
45:39to give a performance
45:39but you know what?
45:40The audience don't know that
45:42so you've just got to step up
45:43and do what you've got to do
45:44and that's what you did well, Charlie.
45:47Really well.
45:47You did great.
45:48Thank you, Marsha.
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
45:59the other night
45:59you've got
46:00I can just feel it
46:01in your conviction
46:03like you've got stories

46:22Thank you, Amy.
46:23That would be fantastic.
46:24Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie.
46:28How you feeling after that?

46:31I'm kind of glad
46:32I got a chance to sing again
46:33and be like

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.
52:04Charlie and Wanwoo, it is time.
52:09Australia, you had 24 hours to vote.
52:12It's your decision.
52:15The results are on this card, fully counted and verified.
52:21And we can now reveal the singer who is safe
52:26and will continue their idle journey into the top eight is...
52:32One way!
52:37One way!
52:40One way!
52:40One way!
52:42One way!
52:43One way!
52:45Charlie!
52:54Congratulations, Charlie.
52:56You are safe for another week.
52:59Are you stoked?
53:01Oh, I'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.
53:07But I 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 fare well.
53:25Wanwoo, I'm so sorry.
53:27It's okay.
53:28It's okay.
53:29It's okay, everybody.
53:30There's only one Wanwoo.
53:31This is not the end.
53:35This is the start of my journey.
53:40I have come so far.
53:42I have come so, so, so far.
53:45I'm not stopping here.
53:47I've met these amazing people.
53:49Amazing opportunities.
53:51Wanwoo will be through somewhere else and that's okay.
53:55All good things must come to an end.
53:56There's always a storm before the rainbow.
53:59I'm fine.
53:59I'm fine.
54:00Yes, you are.
54:01Judges, anything you want to say before Wanwoo leaves the idle stage?
54:07You know, I'm Wanwoo, I thank you for your contribution.
54:09I thank you for your heart.
54:10I thank you for your family and the support that they've given you.
54:13That's why you're so strong, because you know there's more to life than this.
54:18Okay, well done.
54:22Girlfriends.
54:23Hi, Wanwoo.
54:25From someone that came from nothing, and I mean I came from less than nothing, anyone
54:32can do anything so long as they put their mind to it.
54:34You got the skills, you got the profile.
54:36Go for gold, honey.
54:38Go for gold.
54:42Girlfriend, you are such a vibe from meeting you at auditions to now.
54:46My gosh, you are so talented and unique and you're an inspiration to so many people and
54:50I know we're going to see plenty more of you in the future.
54:54Now, as she leaves the stage, please, everybody, up on your feet.
54:57Give it up one more time.
54:59Thank you guys so much.
55:11Well, that is a wrap on another huge live verdict show.
