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?
01:45They're all we have to say.
01:46We have to say it, yeah.
01:46Everybody, reach out and reach out and touch somebody.
01:59Reach out and touch somebody
02:02Reach out and reach out and
02:06Reach out and touch somebody
02:10Reach out and reach out and
02:15Reach out and touch somebody
02:21Your Australian Idol Top 10!
02:33Keep the applause going for your Australian Idol judges!
02:40Judges, you're looking very sharp tonight
02:42How 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
02:51Well we had two nights of spectacular performances
02:54As your idols took on an all Aussie music playlist
02:58We had songs from Farnsey, Crowded House, Kylie, Tones and I, so many more
03:03It was banger after banger on Sunday night
03:07The first half of your Top 10 performed
03:09And it was absolutely incredible
03:12Then, last night the second group took to the stage
03:15And showed Australia why they are the complete package
03:18And deserving of your votes
03:21The voting was open for each heat for 24 hours
03:24But I can confirm
03:26Voting has closed
03:28And we are now verifying the numbers before we reveal the results
03:33Sunday night's heat had Johnny Jigbox from Bunbury NWA
03:40Our central coast landscaper, Kalani
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
04:05For her amazing cover of Olivia Newton-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
04:31What a way to kick off the show, man
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 you?
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
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, that'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, yeah
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, hey
05:55Getting the judges saved is like, I can't even comprehend
06:01Now 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 and I don't want to go, it's not my
06:21time 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, everyone is praising the calibre of talent this season
06:44Making each elimination get harder and harder, right?
06:47Indeed, you know, like the kids have stepped up
06:50The performances are like on another level and I don't think we could be prouder
06:54Like we've travelled the whole country to find these people
06:58And you guys should be very proud of yourselves
07:00My 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, so beautiful
07:12Amy, the two idols from each heat with the lowest votes will 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 always like to hear another artist perform, don't we guys?
07:38Yeah, we do
07:39Just to say our socials were absolutely blowing up with lots of love and comments for our idols
07:46Make sure you follow us at Australian Idol on TikTok, Instagram and Facebook to join the conversation
07:51You're not texting, you are doing something work-related there with your phone
07:55We're never on the job, no way
07:56But the comments
07:58Comments are already rolling in your shortcut
08:01Over on Facebook, everyone just love, love, loved Aussie Music Week, which we all agree
08:05Phoebe from Jarvis Bay says her dog Lola howled along to all the high notes
08:10So sorry to run a Jarvis Bay about that one
08:13Ricky Stewart from Broome said he wished he had more than 10 votes to use
08:16And a lot of people agree, very hard to use the 10 votes
08:19On Instagram, plenty of excitement about tonight's special guest
08:22Our ARIA award-winning Bujara is in the house
08:28That's getting hype as well, how good is this?
08:30But right now, I'm going to go check in on our idols down at the lounge
08:33Alrighty Scotty, off you go
08:35We are just minutes away from learning who from Sunday night's show is safe
08:39And who has to sing again, Australia, to prove to you that they deserve a spot in the top 8
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
08:54But by the end of tonight, only four of you will survive
08:57But of course, Kesha over here, she scored
09:01Yeah, the judges say you've already submitted your place in the top 8
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
09:12And they all have my heart, like I said the other night
09:15So, I'm just giving them my love and support and positiveness
09:20And it doesn't matter what happens, because I just think they're all amazing
09:23And they're all going to do great things, so, love you all
09:26You're like a care badge, pushing out the love to them
09:28Well, the wait is nearly over, Australia
09:31We're going to reveal your votes and your verdict when Idol returns after the break
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 8
09:59We have four spots available, but one is already taken by the judges' save
10:05Kesha over there in the lounge
10:09So, the two idols from this group with the fewest votes will sing again to show Australia why they deserve
10:15to be here next week
10:17Then one of those two will be eliminated tonight
10:21This means absolutely everything
10:25Verdict 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
10:38Harry
10:40Come on over here, buddy
10:43You are our barber from Ballarat
10:45On Sunday night, you sang The Living End's White Noise
10:49Some of the judges loved it
10:52But it's Australia who has the final say
10:55You ready to find out the result, buddy?
10:57For sure, yeah, either way, I'm happy, happy
10:59Okay, well Harry, Australia voted
11:02And I can now reveal that you are
11:11In the bottom two
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 that
11:25Yes
11:28Judges, never good to see a singer in the bottom two
11:31Surprised by this?
11:34What?
11:35Surprised by this, it's never good to see a singer in the bottom two
11:38No, I'm not surprised
11:39Him surprised? No
11:41No, Kyle's not surprised
11:43He sort of gave him the KOD and everything
11:45He said he wasn't good and, you know, he wasn't sexy
11:48But I totally disagree, Harry, you know, I think you did a great job
11:52And, but that's from my point of view
11:54And, you know, you've got to remember where Kyle's coming from
11:56We're at top ten now and it's like
11:58Yeah
11:59Someone needs to go home, so don't hold your head low
12:03It's just a part of the competition
12:05For sure
12:05Yeah, thank you so much
12:06Okay, Harry, over to the danger zone
12:12All right, you guys, next up
12:20Kalani
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, I'm definitely nervous
12:36Yeah, I'm nervous
12:38Okay, Kalani, 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
12:51Or whether you're safe
12:53And into the top eight
12:55All right
12:56After the nation voted
13:00I can confirm
13:02You are
13:08Safe
13:08Safe
13:09Safe
13:12Well
13:12Well done, congratulations
13:14You are in the top eight, my friend
13:16Thank you so much
13:17Thank you
13:18Thank you
13:19All right, come on over here
13:23John and Jacinta
13:25One of you is safe
13:27And unfortunately, one of you isn't
13:29Johnny Jukebox, you gave us a unique, beautiful, amazing version of Thirsty Merc
13:37Even Ray, the lead singer, sent his message of approval, which is very, very cool
13:41Are you ready to find out where you stand?
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
13:51Do you feel like everything is in line tonight for you?
13:56Oh, I mean, you know, I have all these gut feelings at the moment and I'm just, I'm just, you
14:02know, I'm just 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 and that singer is
14:32John
14:37Well done, John
14:39Congratulations, you have made it into the top eight
14:44Wow
14:45Which means, Jacinta, Australia has voted and has put you in the bottom two
14:51Jacinta, how do you, how do you feel? Did 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
15:09That'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 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
16:01Marsha, 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, I was watching the first song, you know, that they sang, you know, the
16:14group thing
16:14And I was saying that, Kyle, you know, we don't have television shows anymore where people learn the craft of
16:20being 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, Marsha, but like the performances and they're up early and they're learning new songs every week
16:36And they're learning group songs and they've got to have their second song if they don't get through tonight
16:41It's the best training group
16:43They're doing interviews
16:44It's 24-7 these kids
16:47They're working and that's totally impressive
16:50It's wonderful
16:51Yeah, it is
16:52Kyle, if they're listening backstage right now, have you got anything to say to Harry and Jacinta before they sing
16:59again?
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, well, Harry and Jacinta, face elimination, performing under this pressure
17:16It's just not easy
17:17No, first 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
17:35Please welcome Jacinta
17:59She just wants to play
18:02You're the first she goes
18:04I don't know if she knows
18:07No limits
18:08No limits
18:09She craves attention
18:11She praises an image
18:13She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
18:18There's a hope that's waiting for you in the dark
18:22And you should know you're beautiful just the way you are
18:27If you don't have to change, a thing the world could change
18:32It's hard
18:32If you don't have to change, a thing the world could change
18:52It's hard, no stars, you're beautiful, but stars, we're beautiful.
19:16Oh, Jacinta, you know what?
19:18Sometimes you're amazing.
19:20Tonight's one of those nights.
19:22Did yourself proud.
19:23That's the perfect song for you, don't you think?
19:26And if you do go home tonight, I'm sure we'll see you again sometime in the future.
19:31Best of luck.
19:31Jacinta, your transformation has been truly, truly something to watch, vocally as well
19:37as the way you present yourself now, and you should be very proud of yourself regardless,
19:42Jacinta.
19:42Thank you so much, Marsha.
19:46I second that.
19:48I just, the transformation is just insane, and I think, you know, when you walked into
19:52that audition room, hearing such a unique voice, I'm just so proud of you for getting this far,
19:59you know?
19:59I mean, it's just, it's just incredible, and no matter what happens, I think now is the
20:03time for you to just become totally unstoppable.
20:06Thank you, Amy.
20:07I really appreciate that.
20:10Jacinta, you gorgeous thing.
20:12How did that feel?
20:13That felt really good.
20:14I felt like I was looking at all these beautiful people in the crowd and just being like, oh
20:18my gosh, I've gotten to do this, you know, like since my audition to now, it's just, it's
20:23a really beautiful moment.
20:24I can't explain it.
20:24It felt great.
20:25Yep.
20:26You've done an amazing job every step of the way.
20:28Give it up for Jacinta, everybody.
20:33All right, after the break, Harry will perform, and then we'll find out which one of them,
20:38Jacinta or Harry, will be leaving the competition tonight.
20:42Don't go anywhere.
20:43The Idol's Live Verdict Show will continue after this.
20:55You're locked on the Live Verdict Show, and before the break, we learned that Jacinta and
21:01Harry from Sunday night's show received the lowest number of votes.
21:04Jacinta then performed in what could be her final song on the Idol stage in a bid to prove
21:09why she deserves to be here.
21:11Now it's Harry's turn.
21:13He's our barber from Ballarat in Victoria singing how to save a life from the fray.
21:19This is Harry.
21:25believa.
21:41What's all you see?
21:46Get along with Ty
21:48Cheers, of course.
21:50Ay!
21:50Falls politely back at you. You stare politely right on through some sort of window to your right. She goes
22:03left and you'll stay right. Between the lines of fear and blame. You begin to wonder why you came. And
22:13where did I go wrong? I lost a friend somewhere alone.
22:20Yes, and I would have stayed up with you all night. And I know how to save a life. I
22:29would have stayed up with you all night. And I know how to save a life.
22:50Well done, Harry. Look, I have loved watching you grow. I remember your audition. You even wrote the lyrics on
23:01your arm. Remember that?
23:02I do remember that.
23:03And just to see where you've come, like even doing something like that without guitars or stands or anything, like
23:10I think I would even struggle, let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two.
23:14So well done for performing and also well done for taking criticism on like live television.
23:22It's like, no, it's one thing to read it as a comment online because, you know, we all get that.
23:29It's not always positive online.
23:31But to go, like, you know, to handle that. And I think you did it with grace and maturity. And
23:38so well done, man. This has been a real journey for you.
23:40I'm proud. Thank you. I really appreciate it. Thanks.
23:45You know, and Harry, as I said from the get go, from the very beginning, you've got one of the
23:49finest rock voices I've heard for a long time.
23:52And I really hope that this is not the end of your journey. Well done, man.
23:55Thank you, Marsha. Cheers.
24:00Great job tonight, Harry, Harry. We loved that. You know what? That's what I meant when I said those angsty
24:05songs that you sang.
24:07That's a beautiful song. It's an emotional, I believed every word you said. I believed. I believed everything you did
24:14then.
24:14That's where you need to be. If you get another chance, stay in that pocket. That's what you own that
24:19pocket.
24:19Thank you, Carl. Yeah, cheers. Thank you.
24:23All right, everybody, make some noise for Harry.
24:28And welcome back to beautiful Jacinta.
24:32All right, you guys, the time has come.
24:36Who is safe and who goes home tonight?
24:41Hit the lights. Let's do this.
24:44Love you, Jacinta.
24:47Jacinta and Harry.
24:48It's the moment of truth.
24:51Australia, based on the nationwide vote, you at home had 24 hours to have your say.
24:57Australia, you voted and you decided.
25:01That's all, Jacinta and Harry.
25:04Harry, sing again.
25:06And now, the idol, safe and into the top eight, is...
25:17Is...
25:26Jacinta!
25:34Congratulations, Jacinta, you are through to the top eight of Australian Idol.
25:40Are you excited to sing again next week?
25:42Oh, I'm so hella excited.
25:43Let's go.
25:45Yeah.
25:46You're officially in the top eight.
25:48Go and celebrate in the lounge, Jacinta.
25:54Unfortunately, though, for Harry, that does mean your time on the Idol stage ends tonight.
25:59It is such a shame to see you leave the competition.
26:02We have loved having you with us.
26:04Harry, what's been the highlight of your Idol journey so far?
26:09There's been so many.
26:10It's been awesome.
26:11All the opportunities, I suppose, that we've had and, like, just working with such high industry-level people
26:15and sort of getting to experience what it's like being this high up in show business has been amazing.
26:20Obviously, all the friends that I've made, it's been phenomenal.
26:23Some of them aren't here, but some of them are here.
26:25But I've had such a great time.
26:27They're friends who have for the rest of your life, Harry, truly.
26:31Judges, anything to add before Harry leaves the Idol stage?
26:34I think what Marsha said, you really do have an incredible rock voice, man.
26:38It's crazy.
26:39It's really unique.
26:39It's a crazy voice.
26:40You should go and flex that.
26:41And just keep working, man.
26:42You know, that's what this industry is about.
26:44You just keep working, believe in yourself, and hopefully all goes well.
26:47He can be a model.
26:48He can be a hairdresser.
26:49He can be a singer.
26:51What can't he do?
26:52You've got so many opportunities and options, unlike the rest of us.
26:55Some of us only have one.
26:58Good luck, man.
26:59I hope to see you in the future.
27:01Nice to meet you.
27:02And you're a nice bloke, too.
27:03Super nice.
27:06Yes.
27:08Harry, we have seen you grow so much in the competition, and it has been incredible
27:12to watch.
27:13You have such an amazing talent, and I can't wait to see what you do next.
27:17Everybody, please give it up one more time for Harry.
27:27Okay, that was the outcome of Sunday's show.
27:30But up next, who did you vote to save from last night's show?
27:35Already through to the top eight is our R&B dad, Trey, who was the judge's save from last night.
27:42But for Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo, and Samella, you voted, you decided, and for one of them,
27:50their idol dream will be over.
27:52But next, it's time for a very special performance by the ARIA award-winning Boudjara.
28:00Don't go anywhere.
28:01Idol's live voting show continues after the break.
28:15This is Idol, and we're yet to find out the voting results from last night's show.
28:20But before we announce the verdict, brace yourselves for an amazing performance coming your way.

31:27Oh, but you don't know.
31:29Oh, goodness me.
31:46That was amazing.
31:47Keep it going for Bhujarar.
31:52Wow, that was so smooth, so cool.
31:57Bhujarar, your list of accolades is huge for someone so young.
32:02Amongst 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, won a stack of awards.
32:08What would you say is the highlight for you?
32:11Oh, you know, I guess this is my highlight.
32:15I used to love watching American Idol as a kid
32:18and my mum used to have dreams
32:19that I would be singing on American Idol.
32:21And here we are.
32:22Here you are, an Australian Idol, doing your thing.
32:25You're suave, gentlemen, you.
32:28The song we just heard, gentlemen,
32:30a suave, sexy R&B number.
32:32Tell us a little bit about it.
32:34Yeah, well, gentlemen is my new single.
32:36I just wanted to...
32:38I 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.
32:50What did you guys think?
32:51Did you love Bhujarar's performance?
32:54Of course.
32:55You can download and stream Gentlemen right now
32:58and get the new album on July 24th, Australia.
33:01Give it up for Bhujarar!
33:08OK, it's business time.
33:10Right after the break,
33:11we find out who you voted into the top eight
33:14from last night's show.
33:16Already there is our doting dad, Trey,
33:18from Melbourne, Victoria.
33:21Who 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.
33:31Don't move a muscle.
33:32Idol is back in a moment.
33:44This is Australian Idol's live voting show
33:47and we're about to find out who stays
33:49and who goes from last night's show.
33:52The tension is getting too much, Scotty.
33:54I can't handle it.
33:55It's a lot.
33:55It's a lot in here.
33:56Well, there are a record number of votes
33:57that we received as you voted
33:59for who you wanted to save.
34:01Last night, we saw performances
34:04from our Perth soul man, Charlie.
34:07Brisbane Ballot King, Harlan.
34:10And our all-singing, all-rapping Wanwu.
34:15Plus young dad, Trey.
34:19And Adelaide schoolteacher, Samela.
34:23They went all out
34:25and 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
34:47and you know what you need to do
34:49and you did it tonight.
34:51Well done.
34:51Hoping I've done enough,
34:52but I gave it every single bit of juice that I had.
34:55There's nothing left in the tank, you know.
34:56All right, yeah, yeah.
34:58Some performances were untouchable.
35:03That was Grammy performance right there.
35:06Come on.
35:08R to the R to the CKR.
35:10Vicky Lee, girl.
35:11Yeah, you're so fly.
35:13Others brought the house down.
35:16I wanted to let it go.
35:18You'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
35:29dared to take on
35:31Aussie music royalty.
35:39What the actual harlot is going on.
35:43Only the bravest
35:44or the craziest human being on earth
35:46would get on this stage
35:48and sing John Farnham live.
35:49And he smacked it.
35:52I'll be messed up
35:53if you can't be right here.
35:55But one hit song
35:56was turned into a moment
35:58of idol magic.
36:04You're so ready
36:05for the world stage, Trey,
36:06because you are amazing.
36:08Thank you so much.
36:09Saving our young dad
36:11from the public vote.
36:13Trey.
36:17I'm over the moon.
36:19I can't stop smiling.
36:21Tonight's been
36:22off its head.
36:24Now,
36:25it all comes down
36:26to this.
36:28Everyone's saying
36:28there's the best day at 11.
36:30I have to agree.
36:31I really hope Australia
36:32has voted for me
36:33because I am just
36:35at the beginning of this journey
36:37and I have so much to show.
36:38Who's heading into
36:40the top eight?
36:41Wonder what?
36:43I've got the one, two
36:43and now I'm in the top ten.
36:45Get me through
36:45to the top eight.
36:51What a night.
36:53Everyone brought their A game
36:55and every performance
36:56was incredible.
36:58I can't pick
36:59how this is going to go tonight.
37:00It really is
37:01anyone's game.
37:02With Trey
37:03scoring the judge save,
37:04he can relax
37:05over there in the lounge
37:07knowing he has
37:08a guaranteed place
37:09in the top eight.
37:11For Charlie,
37:13Harlan,
37:13Wanwoo
37:14and Samella,
37:15their future
37:15hangs in the balance.
37:18Alright everybody,
37:19let's do this.
37:20Hit the lights.
37:23Idols,
37:24in no particular order.
37:26When we call your name,

37:30First up,
37:33Samella.
37:38Samella.
37:39how are you?
37:40Hello guys,
37:40I'm good.
37:41Samella,
37:42our mum
37:43and teacher
37:43from Adelaide.
37:46Last night,
37:47you sang
37:47the iconic
37:48Aussie classic,
37:50Buses and Trains.
37:51The judges loved it,
37:52but it's Australia
37:54who has
37:55the final say.
37:57How are your palms
37:58right now?
37:58Give me a little
37:59clammy palms test.
38:00Very clammy.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:04Confirmed.
38:04Okay Samella,
38:05Australia voted
38:06and I can now reveal
38:08you
38:09are
38:16safe.
38:19Oh my gosh.
38:21Congratulations Samella,
38:22you are in the top eight.
38:24Congratulations,
38:24go and celebrate
38:25in the lounge with Trey.
38:27Well done Samella.
38:30Alright,
38:31next up
38:32we have got
38:34Wanwoo.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hi girl,
38:38hi.
38:40Oh,
38:40should we just
38:41rip the band-aid off
38:42because that face
38:43looks like...
38:44Please take it off.
38:45Okay,
38:46we'll do it gently.
38:47Okay,
38:48because 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
38:59that you are...
39:07In the bottom two.
39:10Alright,
39:11that really isn't
39:12the result that you wanted,
39:13right?
39:14Not at all,
39:14not at all,
39:15but Australia voted
39:16and I just have to
39:17prove Australia wrong.
39:19Yeah, you do.
39:20Yeah, you do.
39:21I can see the judges.
39:22Marsha's pointing right now.
39:24Do you want to say something Marsha?
39:25I think that's exactly right.
39:27You know,
39:27this is the hardest part
39:28because we don't have
39:29anything to do with this
39:31and people are watching
39:32and this is what
39:33they're voting for
39:34and I think
39:34at this point in time,
39:35mm-mm,
39:36they're wrong.
39:37Yeah.
39:37Oh, they should go.
39:38We 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.
39:46Oh, damn.
39:47Alright,
39:47lucky last.
39:48Come on over,
39:49Harlan and Charlie.
39:51One of you
39:52will make it
39:54safely
39:54into the top eight
39:56while the other
39:57will be singing
39:57for your life
39:59alongside Wanwoo.
40:01Harlan,
40:01you took on
40:02the mighty
40:03John Farnham
40:04last night.
40:06Yes.
40:07A risky move
40:08that may
40:09or may not
40:10have paid off.
40:11You know how protective
40:12Aussies are
40:13of Farnsey,
40:14don't you?
40:14Yes.
40:15Yes?
40:16Alright,
40:17Charlie,
40:17you were a little bit
40:19under the weather
40:19last night
40:20but you still
40:20powered
40:21through your performance.
40:22Let's hope
40:23your cold
40:24didn't impact
40:25your chances there.
40:26Hopefully not.
40:27Alright.
40:28The next name
40:29I read out
40:30is Safe
40:31and through
40:32to the top
40:33eight.

41:00another week.
41:01Go and celebrate
41:02with the others!
41:03Yes.
41:05So,
41:06unfortunately,
41:07Charlie,
41:08you've been voted
41:08into the bottom
41:09two.
41:10What do you make
41:11of that?
41:11You know,
41:12it's unfortunate.
41:13I had a cold
41:14and I felt
41:14disappointed
41:15that I couldn't
41:15give it everything
41:16that I had
41:16the other night
41:17and sometimes
41:17that's the way
41:18that it is.
41:19But you did,
41:20you gave it
41:20everything you
41:21possibly could.
41:22Yeah,
41:23yeah.
41:23Wanwoo,
41:24come over here
41:25and join us.
41:26Wanwoo and Charlie,
41:28you both need
41:29to sing for us
41:30again,
41:30which I'm
41:31personally excited
41:32about.
41:33For one of you,
41:34though,
41:34it will be the last
41:35time on the
41:36Idol stage.
41:37Head backstage,
41:37both of you,
41:38and get ready
41:39to perform
41:40tense times
41:41for Wanwoo
41:42and Charlie,
41:44both receiving
41:45the least amount
41:46of votes
41:47from last
41:49night's show.
41:50Amy,
41:51I can see
41:51that you're
41:52a little shocked
41:53with that result
41:53there.
41:54Well,
41:54it's funny,
41:55Scotty,
41:55because then
41:55I look over
41:56and I'm like,
41:57who would I
41:57have expected
41:58to go?
41:59I don't know
41:59who I would
42:01have ever
42:01expected to go.
42:02You know,
42:02it's just a
42:03really crappy
42:04part of the
42:04competition.
42:05I wish we
42:05didn't have to
42:06go through.
42:06I also didn't
42:07mean to wear
42:07the horrible
42:08red colour
42:09of the verdict.
42:10Every time
42:10it goes red,
42:11I feel like
42:11I'm triggering
42:12everyone.
42:13Sorry.
42:14I mean,
42:14it is a reality
42:15of this part
42:16of the competition.
42:17Everyone is
42:17so amazingly
42:18talented,
42:19so we are
42:19going to be
42:19losing really
42:20talented people
42:21every night.
42:23Kyle,
42:23no doubt
42:23there have
42:24been some
42:24times in
42:25your career
42:25where you've
42:26had some
42:26high-pressure
42:27moments like
42:27this.
42:28How do you
42:28stay focused
42:29when it
42:30matters most?
42:31What a week
42:32to bring that
42:32up.
42:33I can't
42:33think of
42:33anything.
42:36Ricky just
42:36went off
42:37script then.
42:39I've had
42:40a few
42:40moments.
42:41High stakes.
42:42It is
42:43high stakes.
42:44You know
42:44what?
42:44Last night
42:45was the
42:45toughest one.
42:46We couldn't
42:46figure out.
42:48I think
42:48Sunday nights
42:49we all figured
42:50out who
42:50would be
42:51in the
42:51bottom two
42:51but last
42:52night that
42:52was anyone's
42:53race.
42:53Yes,
42:53it was.
42:54You know,
42:54but Ricky,
42:55you've been
42:55here.
42:56You know
42:56what this
42:57is like
42:57more than
42:58anybody.
42:59You know,
42:59and so
42:59it's not
43:00easy but
43:01you just
43:01got to
43:01keep going
43:02girlfriend.
43:02You sure
43:03do.
43:03That's
43:03the name
43:04of the
43:04game.
43:04That's
43:04true.
43:05Okay,
43:05well their
43:06future is
43:06far from
43:07certain.
43:07Both
43:08will perform
43:08again to
43:09show that
43:09they have
43:09what it
43:10takes to
43:10remain in
43:11the competition.
43:12One will
43:13go through
43:13to the
43:13top eight
43:13and the
43:14other one
43:15will leave

44:47standing
44:49here.
45:03Oh, Charlie, you've got a great voice, you're a great guy, always over deliver.
45:08How's the cold going?
45:09You've 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, a lot better.
45:15Hey, sorry you're in the bottom two, but great job tonight.
45:18If you get through, more of that, more of the same, more of that, Charlie, we love.
45:23Good luck, man.
45:23I would love to do more of that.
45:24Thank you, Carl.
45:28Charlie, your consistency is one of the best things, and you know, as Amy and I are so aware,
45:35and I think I would be, when you're not 100%, it's so hard to give a performance, but you
45:40know what, the audience don't know that, so you've just got to step up and do what you've
45:44got to do, okay, and that's what you did well, Charlie, really well.
45:47You did great.
45:48Thank you, Marcia.
45:51Um, Charlie, you're just like one of these artists that is, you'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, like you've got stories to tell.
46:04You've, you've seen the lowest of lows and the highest of highs, and I can see the love
46:09and happiness, but also the pain you've been through and everything.
46:13And I just, no matter what happens, I really hope you get in the studio and tell all these
46:18stories, because I'm excited for your career.
46:22Thank you, thank you, Amy.
46:23That'll be, that'll be fantastic.
46:24Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie, how 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, hey, look, this is what I
46:35can
46:35do 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, but before that, we've got to hear
46:46from Wanwoo on the other side of the break.
46:49Then we'll find out who is leaving Idle for good, Charlie or Wanwoo.
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 Wanwoo and Charlie received the fewest votes from last
47:13night's show.
47:13In a last bid sing-off to show that they should stay in the competition, Charlie just gave
47:18us a performance from Dancing On My Own by Callum Scott.
47:22Yes, and now it's Wanwoo's moment.
47:25Wanwoo is our all-singing, all-rapping star performer.
47:30We have been amazed by her performances week after week, with mum, Yassa, always cheering
47:37her on from the crowd to show she is worthy of continuing her idle journey.
47:42Singing, price tag by Jessie J.
47:44So Beginning, this is Wanwoo.
