00:12Your verdict will be revealed tonight.

00:30Another day is going out, yeah.
00:38I see your faces flying out, 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.

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-John's Hopelessly Devoted to You
04:10Here'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
04:30What 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
04:45You just sound like heaven
04:47You're a little sexy bastard too aren't ya
04:50But then the harshest critic emerged
04:56I hate it
05:00I thought that was rubbish
05:02Oh what?
05:04That 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
05:20I don't think we've ever seen someone grow so much on this show before
05:28You still look a little nervous strutting around
05:32Considering that was like my first time moving that much I think I did pretty okay
05:35Yeah
05:37And 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 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've put into that performance
06:14I'm not ready to go home with so much more show
06:16I want to keep living out my dreams on that stage
06:19And I don't want to go
06:20It's not my time now
06:25The performances from our idols just keep getting better and better
06:31You can stream or download every song from this series on all your favourite streaming devices
06:36Like Spotify and Apple Music
06:38Just get amongst it
06:40Kyle and Marsha, 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?
07:07It made my heart melt
07:08Your mum crying on the phone to you
07:10I loved it
07:11So beautiful
07:12Amy, the two idols from each heat with the lowest votes
07:16Will sing again tonight 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
07:56But the comments
07:57The comments are already rolling in your shortcut
08:01Over on Facebook, everyone just love, love, loved Aussie Music Week
08:04Which 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 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
09:00Yeah, 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?
09:08Oh, 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 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, on 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
10:14why they deserve to be here next week
10:17Then one of those two will be eliminated tonight
10:20This means absolutely everything

10:43You are our barber from Ballarat

10:54You ready to find out the result buddy?
10:56For sure, yeah either way
10:58Happy, happy

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
11:22But 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?
11:36It's never good to see a singer in the bottom two
11:38I'm not surprised
11:39Him surprised? No
11:41No, 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

12:30How's your heart right now?
12:32It's racing, that's for sure
12:34Yeah, 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
12:56Alright, after the nation voted
12:59I can confirm
13:01I can confirm
13:02You are
13:08Safe!
13:12Well done, congratulations
13:14You are in the top eight my friend
13:16Thank you so much
13:17Thank you
13:18Thank you
13:21Alright, 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
13:40Which 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
17:38CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
17:41CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
17:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
17:46CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
18:01Good luck Jacinta
18:04She knows, I know that she knows no limits
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
18:48You won'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 yourself proud
19:23That's the perfect song for you, don't you think?
19:25And if you do go home tonight, I'm sure, we'll see you again sometime in the future, best of luck
19:31Jacinta, your transformation has been truly, truly something to watch
19:35Vocally, as well as the way you present yourself now
19:39And you should be very proud of yourself regardless Jacinta
19:42Thank you so much, Marcia, thank you
19:46I second that, I just, the transformation is just insane
19:50And I think, you know, when you walked into that audition room, hearing such a unique voice
19:55I'm just so proud of you for getting this far, you know
19:59I mean, it's just, it's just incredible
20:01And no matter what happens, I think now is the time for you to just become totally unstoppable
20:06Thank you, Amy, I really appreciate that
20:10Jacinta, you gorgeous thing, how did that feel?
20:13That felt really good, I felt like I was looking at all these beautiful people in the crowd
20:17And just being like, oh my gosh, I've gotten to do this, you know, like since my audition to now
20:22It's just, it's a really beautiful moment, I can't explain it, felt great
20:25You've done an amazing job every step of the way
20:28Give it up for Jacinta, everybody
20:33Alright, 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
20:58So, and before the break, we learned that Jacinta and Harry from Sunday night's show
21:02received the lowest number of votes
21:04Jacinta then performed in what could be her final song on the Idol stage
21:08in a bid to prove why she deserves to be here
21:11Now it's Harry's turn
21:13He's our barber from Ballarat in Victoria
21:15singing how to save a life from the fray
21:19This is Harry!
21:40It's the one you say we need to talk
21:45He walks, you say sit down, it's just a talk
21:49She smiles politely back at you
21:53You stare politely right on through
21:57Some sort of window to your right
22:01She goes left and you'll stay right
22:05Between the lines of fear and blame
22:09You'll begin to wonder why you came
22:13And where did I go wrong?
22:16I lost a friend
22:17Somewhere alone in the bitterness
22:20And I would have stayed up with you all night
22:25And I know how to save a life
22:29I would have stayed up with you all night
22:33And I know how to save a life
22:50Well done Harry
22:52Thank you
22:53Look, I loved, I have loved watching you grow
22:59I remember your audition
23:00You even wrote the lyrics in your arm, remember that?
23:02I do remember that
23:03Yeah
23:03And just to see where you've come
23:05Like even doing something like that
23:07Without guitars or stands or anything
23:09Like I think I would even struggle
23:11Let alone knowing you've got this pressure of the bottom two
23:14So well done for performing
23:17Thank you
23:17And also well done for taking criticism on like live television
23:21Cause like no it's one thing to read it as a comment online
23:27Cause you know we all get that
23:29It's not always positive online
23:31But to go like you know to handle that
23:33And 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
23:40Thank you, I really appreciate it
23:41Thanks
23:45You know and Harry as I said from the get go
23:47From the very beginning
23:48You've got one of the 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, cheers
23:59Great job tonight Harry Harry
24:01We loved that
24:02You know what that's what I meant
24:03When I said those angsty songs that you sang
24:07That's a beautiful song
24:08It's an emotional
24:09I 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
24:17Stay in that pocket
24:18That's what you own that pocket

24:54You at home had 24 hours to have your say
24:57Australia

25:46You're officially in the top eight, go 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, we have loved having you with us.
26:04Harry what's been the highlight of your Idol journey so far?
26:08There's been so many, it's been awesome.
26:11All the opportunities I suppose that we've had and just working with such high industry
26:15level people and 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, it's been phenomenal, some of them aren't here,
26:24but some 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, truly.
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, 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, you 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, he can be a hairdresser, he can be a singer.
26:50What 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.
26:59I hope to see you in the future.
27:01Nice to meet you.
27:02And you're a nice bloke too, super nice.
27:06Yes.
27:08Harry, we have seen you grow so much in the competition
27:11and it has been incredible to 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.
27:19Bahari!
27:27Okay, that was the outcome of Sunday's show.
27:31But 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,
27:38who was the judge's save from last night.
27:42But for Charlie, Harlan, Wanwu and Samela,
27:45you 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

31:46That was amazing
31:47Keep it going for Bhujara
31:52Wow, that was so smooth, so cool
31:57Fudra, 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 that I would be singing on American Idol
32:21and here we are.
32:22Here you are, an Australian Idol, doing your thing,
32:25your suave, gentlemen, you.
32:28The song we just heard, Gentlemen, a 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 so 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 Fudra's performance?
32:54Of course.
32:54You can download and stream Gentlemen right now
32:58and get the new album on July 24th, Australia.
33:01Give it up for Fudra!
33:08OK, it's business time.
33:10Right after the break,
33:11we 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...
33:22Who 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 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.
33:55It'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
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 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
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.
34:56Yeah, 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.
36:00When I know I never could, I need you to sneak in.
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 title 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.
36:39Who's heading into the top eight?
36:41Wonder Woman.
36:43I'm 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
46:04to tell
46:04you've
46:05you've seen
46:06the lowest of lows
46:07and the highest of highs
46:08and I can see
46:09the love
46:09and happiness
46:10but also the pain
46:11you've been through
46:12and everything
46:13and I just
46:13no matter what happens
46:15I really hope
46:15you get in the studio
46:16and tell all these stories
46:18because
46:20I'm excited for your career.
46:22Thank you, Amy.
46:23That would be fantastic.
46:24Thank you so much, guys.
46:27Oh, Charlie.
46:28How you feeling after that?
46:30I'm feeling good, you know.
46:31I'm kind of glad
46:32I got a chance to sing again
46:33and be like
46:34hey, look,
46:34this is what I can do
46:35when I'm at full health.
46:36Oh, yeah.
46:36We love hearing you sing, Charlie.
46:38Love hearing.
46:39All right, Charlie
46:39if you want to head over there

46:42from finding out
46:43Charlie's fate
46:44but before that
46:45we've got to hear
46:46from Wanwoo
