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.
01:54Reach out and touch somebody
02:02Reach out and touch somebody
02:05Reach out and touch somebody
02:10Reach out and touch somebody
02:20Your Australian Idol Top 10
02:29Nice
02:30Yeah
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
02:43We'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
02:51Well 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
03:03It 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 night
03:34Sunday night's heat
03:35Sunday night's heat had Johnny Jigbox from Bunbury NWA
03:40Our 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-Jones 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?
05:04That whole angsty stuff, you're a nicer guy than that
05:07Artists grow and I think
05:09Just 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
05:34I think I did pretty okay
05:35Yeah
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
05:52The judges save
05:53Kesha Hay
05:55Getting the judges save is like
05:58I 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 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 yet
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
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?
07:06Made my heart melt
07:08Your mum crying on the phone to you
07:10So beautiful
07:12Amy, the two idols from each heat with the lowest votes
07:16Will sing again tonight to 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
07:29And 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
07:43With 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
07:55No way
07:56The comments 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
08:17Very hard to use the 10 votes
08:19On Instagram, plenty of excitement about tonight's special guest
08:22Our ARIA award-winning Bujira 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 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
09:22Because 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 band, 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
10:04Kesha 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
10:20This 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, Harry
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
10:51But, it's Australia who has the final say
10:54You ready to find out the result, buddy?
10:56For sure, yeah, either way
10:58Happy, happy
10:59Okay, well Harry, Australia voted
11:02And I can now reveal
11:04That 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
11:21The bottom two again, but that's, yeah, it's another opportunity to sing
11:23And 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?
11:35You're surprised by this, it's never good to see a singer in the bottom two
11:38I'm not surprised
11:39Him surprised? No, no, 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
11:52But 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, yeah, thank you so much
12:06Okay, Harry, over to the danger zone
12:11All right, you guys
12:13Next 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 idol dream is over
12:51Or whether you're safe
12:53And into the top eight
12:55All right
12:56After the nation voted
12:59I can confirm
13:02You are
13:03Safe!
13:04Safe!
13:12Well
13:13Well done, congratulations
13:14You are in the top eight, my friends
13:16Thank you so much
13:17Thank you
13:19All right, come on over here, John 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
14:00And I'm just, you know, I'm just here with John right now
14:03And either way, whatever happens, I'm proud of us both
14:06Okay
14:09The next name that I read out is Safe
14:13And through to the top eight
14:14And that singer is
14:32John
14:37Well done, John
14:39Congratulations, 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? Did you expect that?
14:55Look, I mean, no one comes into this expecting to be in the bottom two
14:59But, you know, I've been 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
15:19Unfortunately, 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
15:29And get ready to perform again for what may be the last time
15:34Amy, 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
15:56Just 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 to 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
16:24You 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
16:34And they're up early and they're learning new songs every week
16:36And 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
16:46They're working, okay?
16:47They're working and that's totally impressive
16:50It's wonderful
16:51Yeah, it is
16:51Kyle, 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, face elimination
17:14Performing under this pressure
17:16It's just not easy
17:17No, first to take to the stage though
17:19Is 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
17:30With a new song to show off her talent
17:32Singing Scars to Your Beautiful by Alessia Cara
17:36Please welcome Jacinta
18:00She just wants to be
18:08She craves attention, she 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
18:27You won't have to change a thing, the world could change, it's hard
18:32No stars, they're beautiful, we're stars, we're beautiful
18:37Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
18:43Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
18:48You don't have to change a thing, the world could change it's hard
18:53No stars, they're beautiful, we're stars, we're beautiful
19:16Oh, Jacinta, you know what, sometimes you're amazing, tonight's one of those nights, did
19:22yourself proud, that's the perfect song for you, don't you think?
19:25Yeah.
19:26And if you do go home tonight, I'm sure we'll see you again sometime in the future, best
19:31of 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, I just, the transformation is just insane, and I think, you know, when you
19:52walked into that audition room, hearing such a unique voice, I'm just so proud of you for
19:57getting this far, you know?
19:59I mean, it's just, it's just incredible, and no matter what happens, I think now is
20:03the time for you to just become totally unstoppable.
20:06Thank you, Amy, I 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, I can't explain it.
20:24It felt great.
20:25Yep.
20:26You've done an amazing job every step of the way.
20:29Give 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, Idol's live verdict show will continue after this.
20:55You're locked on the live verdict show.
20:58And before the break, we learned that Jacinta and Harry from Sunday night's show received
21:02the 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.
21:40It's the one you say we need to talk, he walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk.
21:50She smiles politely back at you, you step politely right on through.
21:57Some sort of window to your right, she goes left and you'll stay right.
22:05Between the lines of fear and blame, you'll begin to wonder why you came in.
22:13Where did I go wrong?
22:15I lost a friend somewhere alone in the bitterness and how would I stay up with you all night had
22:26I know how to save a life.
22:29I would have stayed up with you all night, yet I know how to save a life.
22:50Well done, Harry.
22:53I, look, I, I loved, I have loved watching you grow.
22:59I remember your audition.
23:00You even wrote the lyrics on your arm.
23:01Remember that?
23:02I do remember that.
23:03And just to see where you've come, like, even doing something like that without guitars
23:08or stands or anything, like, I think I would even struggle, let alone knowing you've got
23:13this pressure of the bottom two.
23:15So well done for performing.
23:17And also well done for taking criticism on, like, live television.
23:22Because, like, no, it's, it's one thing to read it as a comment online, because, you
23:28know, we all get that.
23:29We all, it'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.
23:37And so well done, man.
23:38This has been a real journey for you.
23:40I'm proud of you.
23:40I really appreciate it.
23:41Thanks.
23:45You know, and Harry, as I said from the get-go, from the very beginning, you've got one of
23:49the finest rock voices I've heard for a long time.
23:52And I really hope that this is not the end of your journey.
23:55Well done, man.
23:55Thank you, Marsha.
23:56Cheers.
23:59Great job tonight, Harry Harry.
24:02We loved that.
24:02You know what?
24:03That's what I meant when I said those angsty songs that you sang.
24:07That's a beautiful song.
24:08It's an emotional, I believed every word you said.
24:11I believed.
24:12I believed everything you did then.
24:14That's where you need to be.
24:15If you get another chance, stay in that pocket.
24:18That's what...
24:18You own that pocket.
24:19Thank you, Charles.
24:20Yeah, cheers.
24:23All right, everybody.
24:24Make some noise for Harry.
24:28And welcome back to beautiful Jacinta.
24:32All right, you guys.
24:33The time has come.
24:36Who is safe and who goes home tonight?
24:41Hit the lights.
24:42Let's do this.
24:43I love 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.
25:02That's all, Jacinta and Harry.
25:04Sing again.
25:06And now, the idol, safe, and into the top eight, is...
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.
25:50Congratulations, Jacinta.
25:53Unfortunately, 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 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.
26:59Good luck, Harry.
27:00I 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.
27:28That 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.
28:25He is a two-time ARIA winner with over 50 million streams to his name.
28:30Australia, this is Boudjara!
28:40You got me checking myself in the mirror, swearing I think you like.
28:45Stray my neck with a look alone, baby, I bet spray twice.

29:40Your wish is my command.
29:42Say the word and there I am.
29:45Tonight you're in the hands of a gentleman.
29:48I want to know all about you.
29:50Tell me what turns you on.
29:52Promise I'll keep composure.
29:54I want to tell you, you want me to turn it off.

30:15Look at you, God must be an architect.
30:17When the bill comes, I'm gon' pay the check.

30:34Let me get this over time and work it out with you, yeah.
30:39Tonight it's all yours.
30:41Anything you want and more.
30:43Girl, I'll be nothing less than a gentleman.
30:47Your wish is my command.
30:50See the word and there I am.
30:52Tonight you're in the hands of us.
30:55Girl, I know you a boss.
30:56Yeah, baby.
30:59Tonight I'm gonna spoil you like the royal family do.
31:03Baby, take the night off.
31:04Take it off.
31:06Oh, let me get this over time and work it out with you, yeah.
31:13Tonight it's all yours.
31:15Baby, you go.
31:17Girl, I'll be nothing less than a gentleman.
31:21You wish I might come in.
31:23See the word and there I am.
31:26I'm gonna spoil you like the kids.
31:27Oh, but you don't know.
31:44Goodness me, that was amazing.
31:47Keep it going for Bhujara.
31:52Wow, that was so smooth, so cool.
31:57Bhujara, your list of accolades is huge for someone so young.
32:01Amongst so many of the things that you've done, you'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 and my mum used to have dreams that I would
32:19be singing on American Idol.
32:21And here we are.
32:22Here you are, an Australian Idol, doing your thing, you suave, gentleman, you.
32:28The song we just heard, Gentleman, a suave, sexy R&B number.
32:32Tell us a little bit about it.
32:34Yeah, well, Gentleman is my new single.
32:36I just wanted to, I like dressing up, so I thought this would be the perfect song.
32:42And it's out now.
32:44It's from my new album, Gentleman.
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 Budra's performance?
32:54Of course.
32:55You can download and stream Gentleman right now and get the new album on July 24th, Australia.
33:01Give it up for Budra!
33:08Okay, it's business time.
33:10Right after the break, we find out who you voted into the top eight from last night's show.
33:16Already there is our doting dad, Trey, from Melbourne, Victoria.
33:21Who the judges, who got the judges saved?
33:23And that leaves Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela all facing elimination.
33:29One 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 and we're about to find out who stays and who
33:49goes 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 that we received as you voted for who you wanted
34:01to save.
34:02Last night, we saw performances from our Perth soul man, Charlie, Brisbane Ballot King, Harlan,
34:10and our all singing, all rapping, Wanwu.
34:15Plus young dad, Trey.
34:19And Adelaide's school teacher, Samela.
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.
34:45So individual and so different and you know what you need to do and you did it tonight.
34:51Well done.
34:51Hoping I've done enough.
34:52I gave it every single bit of juice that I had.
34:55There'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 C-K-R, Vicky Lee girl, yeah, you're so fly.
35:13Others brought the house down.
35:16I wanted to let it go.
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 or 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 would get on this stage and sing John
35:48Farnham live and 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, because 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.
36:23Now, 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 because I am just at the beginning of this journey and
36:37I have so much to show.
36:38So, who'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 and 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, he can relax over there in the lounge knowing he has a guaranteed
37:08place in the top eight.
37:12For Charlie, Harlan, Wanwoo and Samela, their future hangs in the balance.
37:17All 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.
37:39How are you?
37:40Hello, guys.
37:40I'm good.
37:41Samela, our mum and teacher from Adelaide.
37:45Last night, you sang the iconic Aussie classic, Buses and Trains.
37:51The judges loved it, but 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.
38:02Very, very clammy.
38:03Confirmed.
38:04Okay, Samela, Australia voted and I can now reveal, you are...
38:16Safe.
38:19Oh, my God.
38:21Congratulations, Samela.
38:22Thank you so much.
38:23You are in the top eight.
38:24Thank you, guys.
38:24Congratulations, Samela.
38:25Go and celebrate in the lounge with Trey.
38:27Well done, Samela.
38:29Well done, Samela.
38:30All right, next up, we have got Juan Wu.
38:36Come on over here.
38:38Hey, girl.
38:38Hi.
38:39Oh.
38:40Oh, should we just rip the Band-Aid off?
38:42Because that face looks like...
38:44Please take it off!
38:45OK, we'll do it gently.
38:47OK, because you sang Ricky Lee's Can't Touch It.
38:50And nailed it.
38:51Ricky loved it, but did Australia.
38:55After the nation voted, I can confirm that you are...
39:01CHEERING
39:07..in 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, and I just have to prove 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, this is the hardest part
39:28because we don't have anything to do with this,
39:31and people are watching, and this is what they're voting for.
39:34And I think at this point in time, mm-mm, they're wrong.
39:37Yeah.
39:37We see it a lot.
39:39Good people on the 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 into the top eight,
39:56while the other will be singing for your life alongside Wanwoo.
40:01Harlan, you took on the mighty John Farnham last night.
40:07A risky move that may or may not have paid off.
40:11You know how protective Aussies are of Farnsie, don't you?
40:15Yes.
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 safe and through to the top eight.
40:35And that person is...
40:38Harlan, you, my friend, are in the top eight.
40:59Congratulations.
40:59You survived another week.
41:01Go and celebrate with the others.
41:03Yes.
41:05So, unfortunately, Charlie, you've been voted into the bottom two.
41:10What do you make of that?
41:11You know, it's unfortunate.
41:13I had a cold and I felt disappointed
41:15that I couldn't give it everything 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.
41:24Wanwoo, come over here and join us.
41:26Wanwoo and Charlie, you both need to sing for us again,
41:30which I'm personally excited about.
41:33For one of you, though, it will be the last time on the Idol stage.
41:37Head backstage, both of you,
41:38and get ready to perform tense times for Wanwoo and Charlie,
41:44both receiving the least amount of votes from last night's show.
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.
42:23Kyle, 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 when it matters most?
42:31What a week to bring that up.
42:33I can't think of anything.
42:36Ricky just went off script then.
42:38She just wanted to pass it.
42:39I've had a few moments.
42:41High 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, we all figured out who we were going to be
42:51in 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 more than anybody, you know?
42:59And so, it's not easy, but 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.
43:08Both will perform again to show that they have what it takes
43:10to remain in the competition.
43:12One will go through to the top eight,
43:14and the other one will leave for good.
43:16First up to sing is our soul man from Perth, Charlie.
43:21Our beanie boy has wowed the judges with every soulful song
43:26he has performed on this stage.
43:28With another soulful spin on Dancing On My Own,
43:32make some noise for Charlie.
43:54Somebody said you've 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 watching you kiss her
44:24Oh, no, no
44:27And I've given him up
44:30I'm not the guy you're taking home
44:34Oh-ho-ho
44:36I keep dancing on my own
44:44But you don't see me standing here
44:57Thank you. Thank you.
45:02Oh, Charlie
45:04You've got a great voice
45:05You're a great guy
45:06Always over deliver
45:36How's the cold going?
45:38100% it's so hard to give a performance
45:39But you know what the audience don't know that
46:10So you've just got to step up and do what you've got to do
46:11You've been through and everything
46:12And I just no matter what happens
46:15I really hope you get in the studio
46:16And tell all these stories
46:47Because I'm excited for your career
46:48Then we'll find out who is leaving Idol for good
46:52Charlie or Wanwoo
46:53Stay with us
46:54Idle
46:55We'll be back right after this
47:06You're watching Idol and we are live
47:08Before the break we found out Wanwoo and Charlie received the fewest votes from last night's show
47:13In a last bid sing off to show that they should stay in the competition
47:17Charlie just gave us 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
47:34With mum Yasa always cheering her on from the crowd
47:38To show she is worthy of continuing her idol journey
47:42Singing price tag by Jessie J
47:44This is Wanwoo
48:12It seems like everybody's got a crowd
48:16And I don't know how to sleep at night
48:19When Brazil comes first and the truth comes second
48:22Just stop for a minute and smile
48:25Why is everybody so serious?
48:28You're acting so damn mysterious
48:30You've got your sits on top and your heels so high
48:33That you can't even have a good time
48:36Everybody look to the up
48:39Everybody look to the right
48:40Can you feel that?
48:43You'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 wanna make the world dance
48:53Forget about the price tag
48:55We don't want ya
48:57We don't want ya
48:57Cha-ching, cha-ching, cha-ching
48:59We don't need ya
48:59We don't need ya
49:26One woo
49:27One woo
49:28Just up there doing what you were born to do
49:30Thank you
49:34I mean, we say it each week
49:37Just 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
49:47Thank you
49:47You know, back when we were doing the challenges
49:49You were so good 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
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, good luck tonight
50:04Another amazing performance
50:05Thank you, Amy
50:12That was one of your strongest performances
50:15You really are
50:17You've stepped up
50:19You've stepped up
50:20You've stepped up
50:21You 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
50:40That works behind 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
51:02That shit was sexy
51:05I like it
51:06I like it
51:07I like it a lot
51:09Come on, Kyle
51:10Give it a go
51:11I don't know
51:12Should I
51:12I don't know
51:12Come on, Kyle
51:13Yes
51:15Come on, Kyle
51:16Oh
51:21Oh
51:22No, no, no, no, no
51:29You get a whole save for that
51:32If it goes from us
51:34It's a lot wobbling
51:35I think it was all in the wrong place.
51:37Give it up for Wanwoo, everybody.
51:39Thank you, everyone.
51:43Another fantastic performance.
51:45Well done.
51:46And welcome back, Charlie.
51:49All right.
51:51Take 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.
52:05Charlie 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.
52:22And we can now reveal the singer who is safe
52:25and will continue their idle journey into the top eight is...
