00:05Your top ten will take on an all-Aussie playlist for your votes.
00:09Homegrown hits, huge performances, how good is that?
00:13This is...
00:16Australia!
00:30G'day Australia, I'm Rikki Lee.
00:33And I'm Scott Tweedy.
00:35And this crowd tonight is going off!
00:38So good.
00:40Wow!
00:41This week, your idols will have a crack at iconic Aussie bangers.
00:46From pub anthems to you, Butte chart-toppers.
00:49We're talking John Farnham, Kylie, Crowded House, Tones and I, The Kid Leroy and many more.
00:56With a line-up stacked with classics, the stakes are higher than ever as your idols fight to stay in
01:03the competition.
01:04But before we go any further, let's bring out the legends who will be calling the shots tonight.
01:09It's your Australian Idol judges!
01:18Kyle Sanderland!
01:21Marsha Hines!
01:23And Amy Shaw!
01:24Wow!
01:25Wow!
01:34Wow!
01:41I'm going to get some Jason away.
01:44I'm going to get some Jason out.
01:55All right, so tonight you'll see the first half of your top 10 perform for your votes.
02:01And tomorrow night, the remaining five idols will hit the stage.
02:05Then, on Tuesday, we are 100% live with our top 10 verdict show
02:10where one idol from each heat will go home.
02:14And remember, the judges still have a very special power.
02:17At the end of each show, after everyone has performed,
02:20they have a save to award to one lucky idol,
02:24sending them directly into the top eight by passing the public vote.
02:27And it can really shake things up.
02:30Oh, yeah.
02:30Marsha, tonight it is all Aussie music, all night long.
02:35How cool is that?
02:36I think it's great and it sort of shows you how strong the Australian music industry is
02:40and what incredible performers we have and we are having.
02:44Amy.
02:45Absolutely.
02:45Yeah, 100%.
02:46Well, Amy, from thousands, we're down to just the top 10.
02:49At this stage of the competition,
02:51it is about playing it safe or taking risks.
02:54What artist has ever made it by playing it safe?
02:57Absolutely.
02:57No one.
02:58I mean, Ricky has ridden a horse naked in a hold.
03:00I did do that.
03:01I did do that.
03:02Yes.
03:02Is that on YouTube?
03:03It is.
03:04There is.
03:04Yes.
03:05Yes.
03:05There's a children-friendly version
03:09and then there is a Kyle-friendly version.
03:11It's very PG, actually.
03:12I think I'll just answer it with take some risks.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Yeah.
03:16Absolutely.
03:17I agree.
03:18That's what we want to say.
03:19Kyle, if you were up here for Aussie Week, what song would you sing?
03:25Oh, I heard the ad where there's Farnham, there's someone singing your song.
03:30Yes.
03:30I was just like, yes, yes, yes.
03:32Every artist I heard, I was like, yes.
03:34But what about hoodoo gurus?
03:36It's been a while since we've heard from the hoodoo.
03:38Only the old people.
03:39These kids are like, the what?
03:40The who?
03:41What is that?
03:42The hoodoo gurus.
03:43The boo-boos.
03:44That's what they heard.
03:45They did.
03:46They did.
03:47All right.
03:48We'll take him to the stage tonight, our 17-year-old Johnny Jukebox from Bungary W.
03:55Central Coast landscaper Kalani.
03:58And our fabulous forklift driver Jacinta from Bacchus Marsh in Victoria.
04:04Plus our rocking barber from Ballarat, Harry.
04:09And Kesha, our singing skier from Jindaby.
04:13If you want to keep your favourite idol in the competition,
04:17simply text their name to the number on the screen.
04:20Voting is open now.
04:22Thanks to the all-new JQ, J5, EV, powering electric idol performances.
04:27You have 10 votes per phone number.
04:30You can go all in on one idol or spread them out.
04:33But it's 10 votes.
04:34Your call.
04:35Okay.
04:36Well, let's kick things off for our first idol of the night
04:39from Bungary in Western Australia.
04:42This is John.
04:53Today, mate, it's Aussie week on Australian Idol.
04:56Let's go give it a crack.
04:58Guys, a week's time for the barbecue.
05:00Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
05:02Oi, oi.
05:03Having a barbie with the top 10 reminds me of this summer.
05:06Just the fun summertime vibes.
05:09Oh, top 10.
05:11Guys, a week's time for the barbie.
05:15How good is the snag, guys?
05:17Yeah.
05:19For Aussie week this week, I will be singing none other than
05:22In the Summertime by Thirsty Merc.
05:24Hello.
05:26How's it going, mate?
05:27Good.
05:28Hi, J.
05:29Just calling you.
05:30Good to see you.
05:32We've actually got a surprise for you.
05:36Hey, Johnny.
05:37This is Ray Thistlethwaite from the band Thirsty Merc.
05:40Very honoured that you've chosen to do this song.
05:43And, yeah, I hope you go really, really well in everything
05:46and keep up the good work.
05:49Oh, my goodness.
05:51Thirsty Merc sent me a message, a personalised message to me.
05:56Oh, it's so crazy.
05:57I don't know how to say anything.
05:59Well, he'll be watching for sure.
06:01It's so exciting, but it's definitely put a lot more pressure on me
06:04knowing he's going to be watching to nail this performance.
06:07I was just thinking the start of the song, maybe slowing it down, like,
06:13Take me back to the sweet times.
06:18Like, a barbershop vibe.
06:20Sweet times.
06:20My version is so different to the original.
06:23It's a huge risk, so we hope Australia likes it and votes.
06:29Take...
06:30Wait, let's freestart that.
06:34Take, take, take...
06:36If the version of this song that I'm doing doesn't work
06:38and doesn't connect to the audience,
06:41this performance could be my last.
06:45CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
07:19Don't have a job.
07:20I never liked them.
07:24I just want to play in the sunshine.
07:30They said I was wrong, but I know better.
07:37I live my life like I'm dying.
07:44Give me a chance.
07:46Give me a chance.
07:46I'll do my best to kick and scream and dance.
07:50When winter comes, I'll turn around.
07:54Take me back to the sweet times, the hot nights,
07:59where everything is gonna be alright in the summertime, baby, in the summertime.
08:07And even if I do it to next year, I don't care.
08:12All I know is I'll meet you there in the summertime, baby, in the summertime.
08:18The hot is where I'll be, summertime, summertime, summer time.
08:31The hot is where I'll be, yeah.
08:57Oh, Johnny Jukebox.
09:01What a way to kick off the show, man.
09:03Far out.
09:04Yeah.
09:07I love that signature high note that you do sometimes.
09:10It's just so entertaining.
09:12You're so effortless up there.
09:13We love it.
09:14It sounds like everyone loves it.
09:15The screams for you are deafening.
09:18Well done, man.
09:19That was another brilliant performance.
09:21Thank you so much.
09:23Johnny, actually, just quickly.
09:25Did I hear that you, like, missed your school dance or something tonight to be here?
09:30Yes.
09:31My school form was on tonight, so...
09:33Oh, my God, you're formal?
09:34Yeah.
09:35Wow, that's commitment.
09:36What's a better place to be than here?
09:38It's the best excuse as well.
09:41Really cool.
09:43Great choice on your part.
09:45First, they're fun, they're musical, and I love that you've introduced that song to an audience that don't know them.
09:53Well done, darling.
09:54Thank you so much.
09:55You're welcome, Johnny.
09:55You're welcome.
09:59You know what I like about you?
10:01That you're a young, wholesome, fun, just a nice energy guy.
10:06Like, you're not trying to be cool.
10:07You're not trying to be a badass.
10:09You're just a nice, likable, fun, hugely entertaining young man.
10:13And my auntie loves you, too.
10:16And if an auntie and the young ones are loving you, you pretty much nailed it in between.
10:20Now, you're 17, right?
10:22Yes.
10:23So those high notes, you've got about six months left before you've got to realise, before you're going to be
10:28down here like this somewhere.
10:29So just play in that area, because it does happen to all young men that their voice breaks at some
10:34stage.
10:34Just work through it, work around it, get vocal coaches.
10:37But what I saw tonight was fantastic.
10:40Thank you so much.
10:45Johnny's going to be doing some Barry White next week, when it finally happens.
10:51Johnny Jukebox, you brought your 50s flair to an Aussie fave.
10:56How was that for you?
10:57Because we loved it.
10:59I love it so much.
11:01Like, I'm living my dream right now, and it's all coming true.
11:06So it's crazy for me to think about, but thank you all so much for really getting behind me.
11:12And thank you to Australia for getting me this far.
11:14It really means so much.
11:19John, those high-pitched squeals in this place when you hit the stage are like nothing we have ever heard
11:27before.
11:27It's insane.
11:28How are you going with all of this extra attention?
11:31I guess I'm soaking it up, because it doesn't happen that often.
11:36But I'm loving it so much.
11:38In fact, I'm really enjoying putting these young, no, putting, what am I saying?
11:44Putting the older songs to the young people, and I think they're taking it very well.
11:48And I'm pleased just, like, let's keep going.
11:51I've got so much more to show.
11:52What do you guys think of Johnny's performance tonight?
11:58Wow.
12:01Thanks so much, guys.
12:03Now, Johnny, up in the audience tonight, we have your support crew cheering you on.
12:07We've got your mum, Jasmine.
12:09Jasmine, it feels like just a second ago he was your average teenager, and now he is up on this
12:14stage, absolutely crushing it like a superstar.
12:17How do you feel?
12:18I know, honestly, it just felt like the other day it was our little John running around the house singing
12:24at the top of his voice and his siblings telling him to shush.
12:27And now he's Johnny Jukebox, an Australian Idol.
12:30We're just so, so proud of him.
12:33Like, every day he tells us how much he's loving this experience and everything he's learning.
12:40He's definitely not ready to go home.
12:42So, please, Australia, vote for John, our friends in Adelaide, the community of Burberry.
12:48Oh, my God!
12:50I love this.
12:51She's campaigning.
12:52She's going to take my job next.
12:54If you want to see John sing again next week, you have to vote.
12:58Text John to 0457 500 700 to make sure he secures a place in next week's show.
13:06Remember, you have 10 votes per phone voting period.
13:11Let's hear those screams again for Johnny Jukebox!
13:18Up next, Kalani, our Central Coast landscaper, is taking on a chart-topping smash hit that's considered to be one
13:26of the greatest songs of all time,
13:28with over one billion streams and counting.
13:32No pressure at all, Kalani, all right?
13:34See that and more when Idol returns after the break.
13:48Welcome back.
13:49It's Aussie week on Idol, and our top 10 are singing pure Aussie anthems for your votes.
13:54Next to hit the stage is our landscaper from the central coast of New South Wales.
13:59This is Kalani.
14:12The Australian Idol schedule is super busy.
14:16It's a very tough competition, so I don't get a lot of time to get in the water, but any
14:20chance I get, I'm there.
14:24Surfing has always been a part of who I am growing up around the beach.
14:30Whenever I'm in the ocean, I get to find a sense of clarity, which tends to help a lot when
14:34I'm on stage.
14:41After the top 12 performance, Amy did have a comment to keep surprising people.
14:45Keep trying to find those pockets and moments to almost shock us, because unfortunately it is a competition.
14:52I don't want you to get forgotten.
14:54I agree with her.
14:55I need to show that I'm not just a one-trick pony.
14:57So this week, that is what I'll be working on.
15:00Aussie music week.
15:01Aussie music week.
15:02Yes.
15:02What's your song?
15:03Don't Dream It's Over by Crowded House.
15:05It's a classic.
15:06He's got his guitar today.
15:08Got the guitar back, yeah.
15:09All right.
15:10Had a bit of sauce.
15:11Yeah, I love it.
15:13Playing with the guitar is going to elevate my performance, because it shows that I'm not just a singer, but
15:17I can perform in other ways as well.
15:18When I watch you, you have a very calm, kind of cool exterior, but I know that you feel deeply,
15:27because I can just tell by the way that you sing.
15:29But I was just like, I want to see it on his face.
15:32I think this is really a moment for you to connect, especially eye contact.
15:36I'm not just singing this song.
15:38I'm storytelling.
15:39And I hate and I don't dream it's over.
15:45I can't use the guitar as a shield to hide behind.
15:48It was very important for me to be present and connect in this performance.
15:53I think it's time for just to lock in now.
15:55Yeah.
15:56Especially for you.
15:56Especially after Amy's comments as well.
15:59Definitely, yeah.
16:00Yeah, yeah.
16:00I think it's very important to keep people hooked.
16:03It's up to the public now, so I've got to show that I can do more than just stand there
16:08and sing.
16:15There is freedom within.
16:17There is freedom without trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup.
16:27There is freedom without trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup.
16:30There is freedom without trying to catch the deluge in a paper cup.
16:30There is freedom within.
16:30Many battles are lost, but you'll never see the end of the road while you're traveling with me.
16:38And I hate now, don't dream it's over
16:45And I hate now, when the world comes in
16:51They'll come, they'll come
16:54To build a wall between us
16:58We know that they won't win
17:05Now I'm told in my car, there's a hole in the room
17:10My possessions are causing me suspicions, but there's no truth
17:17In the paper today, tales are warring her ways
17:23But she turned right over to the TV page, hey
17:28And I hate now, don't dream it's over
17:34And I hate now, when the world comes in
17:40They'll come, they'll come
17:44To build a wall between us
17:47We know that they won't win
17:53And I hate now, don't dream it's over
17:59They'll come, they'll come
18:02To build a wall between us
18:06We know that they won't win
18:10Thank you so much
18:29You know, Uncle Lani, you've got a beautiful voice
18:33But I've not heard you open up your voice like that before
18:37And gosh, that's a nice place where you just placed it
18:41And that happens to be one of my favourite songs
18:43So, what can I say, but yeah
18:45Well done, well done
18:46Thank you so much, I appreciate that
18:47Thanks a lot
18:50Oh, Kalani, I mean, thank you for taking my feedback so seriously
18:54Yeah
18:55I wish other people would
18:56Of course
18:56What was your feedback?
18:57No, just joking, joking
18:58Um, you're, you're perfect without a guitar
19:02You're perfect with a guitar
19:04You just look like you are having so much fun up there
19:07It still doesn't look like a job
19:09It just looks like this is something this guy was put on this earth to do
19:13Oh, wow
19:14And I just, I just could watch you for hours
19:16And I can't wait for you to put out albums
19:18Because you just sound like heaven
19:20It's, that was magical
19:21Oh, wow
19:22Thank you so much
19:22That was so magical
19:23Thank you
19:25I had a lot of fun
19:31You little sexy bastard too
19:34I've got nothing on you, mate
19:36Come on
19:36Living, living up there like Harry Styles
19:38The girls, love it
19:40Um, great song choice
19:43Magic is the exact word I would use to describe
19:46Yes
19:47Well done, Amy, that is, it was magical
19:48And at the end, everyone was just with you there
19:52It was, it felt like I was in one of those, you know
19:54Those sort of regional churches where everyone's singing
19:57And it's all about love
19:58Yeah, yeah
19:59I felt love
20:00I felt that was fantastic, man
20:02Well, amazing, mate
20:02Thank you
20:03Good luck tonight, buddy
20:07Hello
20:07Hello
20:08That was beautiful, Kalani
20:09Thank you so much
20:10Wow, massive performance
20:11The crowded house in here loved it too
20:13Didn't you?
20:18So corny
20:19Ah, Nana Sue loved it too
20:21Look at her up there looking very, very proud
20:24Hi Nana Sue
20:26Kalani, how do you feel after that performance?
20:29Look, I love that song
20:30I try and, I play that song all the time
20:33It's one of my favourites to play
20:34So, um, you know
20:35I hope that, that showed in that performance
20:38And, yeah, I'm, I'm honoured to be able to sing that song on a show like this
20:41And give my rendition
20:42But, um, yeah, just so much fun
20:44Love you guys
20:45And thank you all, all my friends and family out the back there

20:54And, and, yeah, just, that's everything
20:56So, thanks guys, love yous all
20:58Beautiful
20:58Now, Kalani, we did see in your video that you love the great Aussie pastime surfing
21:03Is it true you were named after a pro surfer?
21:07Yes, it is true
21:07It is true
21:08Really?
21:08I was named after a Hawaiian surfer called Kalani Rob, actually
21:12Ah, old mate
21:13Yes
21:13Old mate, yeah
21:14Old mate Kalani
21:15I don't know if, um, I don't know if Mum had much of a choice, to be honest
21:18Dad, Dad's sort of die-hard surfer
21:20And you're like, yep, Kalani it is
21:22Love it, love it
21:23Um, so your dad is into surfing
21:25Does he, like, does he sing as well?
21:27Oh, I, you know what's hilarious?
21:29I grew up for, like, ten years of my life
21:33With him, him, he's laughing because he's like
21:36No, don't say it
21:37Um, he, he told me he was on, in the top ten of Australian Idol
21:41For a lot of my early upbringing
21:43Until I was about ten years old
21:45He did not
21:45And I believed it
21:47I believed it
21:48Until, you know
21:49Like yesterday?
21:51Yeah, until yesterday
21:52Um
21:54Oh, wow
21:55But, yeah, no
21:55Full stitch-up
21:56Yeah
21:57Well, he's inspired you to be here on this very stage
21:59Exactly, that's right
22:00Yeah
22:00Ah, even if it was a stitch-up
22:02It was very well done
22:02He's not a singer though
22:04So don't make you sing
22:04Okay
22:07If you want Kalani to ride the wave into the top eight
22:10You've got to vote Australia
22:12Text Kalani right now
22:14Or will he be the lucky one that scores the judges save helping him skip the public vote?
22:20We will find out at the end of the show
22:22But for now, please give it up for Kalani
22:25Thank you
22:26Thank you
22:26Thank you
22:29On the other side of the break, it's our forklift driver from Bacchus Marsh, Jacinta
22:34And she's taking on a song from Aussie pop princess Kylie Minogue
22:40Don't go anywhere
22:41Idol is back in a moment
22:47You're locked on Idol where it's all Aussie music all the way, all for your votes
22:53Next on the playlist is a song from one of the biggest stars this country has ever produced
22:59I'm talking 18 Aria Awards, Grammys and global hit records
23:04Kylie Minogue is an absolute legend and taking on one of her most iconic hits is our fabulous forklift driver
23:12from Bacchus Marsh
23:12This is Jacinta
23:24Welcome to the top ten
23:26Yes, top ten
23:27Woohoo
23:28It feels really cool to be in the top ten
23:31Oh, I'm excited
23:32You should be excited, you're in the top ten
23:34My cheeks I feel like are so chiseled from the amount of smiling I've been doing
23:39Aussie music way
23:40Mm-hmm
23:41What song are you singing?
23:42I'm singing on a night like this by Kylie Minogue
23:45My dad is the biggest Kylie Minogue fan
23:47Oh really?
23:48He loves Kylie, grew up listening to Kylie, on the Sing Star we'd always sing Kylie as well
23:54Dad has always supported me no matter what and I believe I have one of the best families
24:00They are my biggest supporters, ride or die, they are the best people on the planet
24:05Definitely massive connection to this song
24:07Your dad has great taste
24:08Yes
24:08This is one of the classics
24:10Dad will definitely be shedding a tear listening to this performance
24:14I want a night like this
24:16I want to stay forever
24:20I saw a glimpse of the disco fun in you
24:23Yep
24:24I just would love to see more
24:26This is a bit of a challenge for you
24:29Yeah definitely
24:30Yeah
24:30The song is upbeat and fast which is not what I normally sing at all so it's going to challenge
24:35me
24:35I'm hoping to like connect with the crowd along here
24:39I do want to like dance with them and party with them
24:41Go Jacinta
24:42In my quirky odd little way
24:44I think I'm going to be channeling Sing Star Jacinta who you know would sing Kylie on Sing Star and
24:49just not have a care in the world
24:53I've shown Australia the emotional side of myself so now showing the fun side is a whole other side
24:59If I don't have fun no one else is going to have fun and it'll just be one of those
25:03performances that's going to be forgettable
25:09And pick it up
25:14It's like a fantasy
25:17You
25:21Know this is how it should be
25:25You kiss me
25:27I'm falling
25:30Can you hear me calling
25:33You touch me, I want you
25:37Just like I've always known you
25:42On a night like this
25:45I wanna stay forever
25:48Forever
25:49On a night like this
25:54Just wanna be together
25:56On a night like this
26:03Seems I've known you a lifetime
26:10Now it's time to make you mine
26:16On a night like this
26:23On a night like this
26:31Stay forever
26:33On a night like this
26:37Just wanna be together
26:39Together
26:41On a night like this
26:45I wanna stay forever
26:47Oh, on a night like this
26:52Stay together
26:55On a night like this
27:13Hi Jacinta, nice work
27:15You know what I like about you
27:16Every time you come out
27:17It's always surprising
27:19Because you seem to nail
27:20Every genre that you take on
27:22And I thought
27:23Hmm, how's she gonna be
27:25With this Kylie thing
27:26And you just sort of invoked
27:27That disco prancing
27:29Type of artist
27:31And I thought it was remarkable
27:32I thought you did a great job
27:33Thank you
27:34Um, you still look a little
27:36Nervous strutting around
27:38But I like that you're giving it a go
27:39Yes
27:40And you
27:40Practice makes perfect
27:42Strut, own that stage
27:43The vocals great
27:45Nice song choice
27:46You did your dad proud
27:47Thank you
27:48Thank you so much
27:53Jacinta, you were really freaking out
27:55About opening up notes
27:57The last time you performed for us
27:59Look what you just did
28:01You opened up the notes
28:03And that was great
28:03You can do this
28:05Yes, thank you
28:06Okay
28:06Well done, Jacinta
28:08Well done
28:08Thank you, Marsha
28:09You're welcome
28:09Thank you
28:10I don't think we've ever seen someone
28:12Like grow so much
28:14On this show before
28:16Like I just always think about your audition
28:18In your hoodie
28:19And just come in
28:20And we just saw something super special
28:22And you
28:22In all honesty
28:23The hoodie looked like it was from Lost and Found
28:24That hoodie
28:27Like it's the
28:28It's a transformation
28:29It is
28:29Yeah, it's just incredible
28:31And then to watch you tonight
28:33I was just like so proud of you
28:34For like really taking everything on
28:37And it was a good song choice for you
28:39Because Kylie has that sort of soft sound as well
28:42So you put your spin on it
28:44And I just think
28:45I think you should be really proud of that
28:46As well as your dad
28:47With big Kylie fan
28:49Yeah
28:50Thank you so much, Amy
28:51Thank you
28:54Jacinta, Ricky
28:55Great comments from the judges
28:57The crowd absolutely loved it
28:59How did that feel?
29:00It felt really good
29:01Yeah?
29:01Yeah, I mean
29:02It is scary
29:03I'm so used to just like
29:04Standing in the one spot
29:06When I performed
29:06That's the most I've ever moved
29:08But you know
29:08Having the crowd
29:09And you guys
29:10And my family
29:11Just really
29:12You know
29:12Made it that much better
29:13So
29:14I loved it
29:14Thanks guys
29:18Now Jacinta
29:19We know you as the forklift driver
29:22Our fabulous forklift driver
29:24And I've noticed on socials
29:26It's really becoming a thing that people do
29:28People are doing the Jacinta forklift driver moves
29:31It's really
29:31People are doing
29:32Kyle's at it
29:33Everyone's doing it
29:34Look
29:37Everyone's doing the move
29:38That's not a very good angle there
29:39It doesn't look like
29:40I am actually doing a forklift maneuver
29:44You're doing this
29:45It's a circular motion
29:46From the wrong angle
29:47That doesn't
29:48Yeah
29:50Well Australia

31:42And it is well and truly on
31:43For our next singer
31:45Harry is the barber
31:46From Ballarat
31:47Who rocks the stage
31:48Every time he performs
31:49Let's see how he's prepared
31:51For Aussie week
32:00It's Aussie week here at Idol
32:01The top 10
32:02It's super exciting
32:03I've been really lucky
32:04To sort of travel around Australia
32:06And see how diverse our landscape is
32:08And how diverse the people are
32:09When I was 18
32:11I started building camper vans
32:12And driving around for gigs
32:16I've played in tiny little venues
32:18And massive auditoriums
32:20Everywhere really
32:22For Aussie week
32:23I'm singing
32:23White Noise by The Living End
32:25I really think I need to bring my drive
32:28Into this song
32:28Because I feel like I've got the vocals there
32:30But I just feel like
32:31I look so nervous on stage
32:32And I really want to be able to control that
32:34All that I'm hearing from you
32:37Being in the bottom two
32:38Definitely kind of shook my confidence
32:39A little bit
32:40That's what's driving me this week
32:42To kind of not be in that position again
32:43So Harry, talk to me about top 12
32:46Kyle's comment
32:47Is kind of the one that
32:49Stood out to me
32:50You just look too terrified
32:52Every time you're up there
32:53But you've got everything that it takes
32:55You've just got to get rid of those nerves
32:58I just want to know
32:59What's stopping you
33:00From just embracing full rock and roll
33:02I think I'm a little bit nervous
33:03About going to
33:04Over the top
33:05And being cringe with it
33:06Who are you worried about?
33:09I suppose growing up
33:10In regional Victoria
33:11Yeah
33:11Everyone's sort of
33:12Pretty in their
33:13Box a little bit
33:14And I just sort of
33:15Always wanted
33:15Never wanted to
33:16Step too far out of my comfort zone
33:18I think you are concentrating
33:20So much on not being cringe
33:22That you're actually
33:23Doing yourself a disservice
33:25I don't want you to be
33:26Your own worst enemy
33:29I think I have a tendency
33:30To self-sabotage
33:31By pulling back a little bit
33:32When I think things are getting
33:34Over the top
33:34I think I just need to
33:35Get out of my head about it
33:36And just do it
33:37And if it's over the top
33:38Then it will be over the top
33:39You have to believe it first
33:41For everyone else
33:41Yep
33:42To believe it
33:42For sure
33:43And you don't want to look back
33:44At it going
33:45Oh I should have done
33:46This and this and this
33:47It's all or nothing
33:48Now
33:49It's so important
33:49That I give it my all
33:50Because it couldn't be my last
33:51Time on stage
33:52Okay
33:52And no more overthinking it
33:54No more overthinking
33:55You've got to embrace
33:56Walk out the white noise
33:57You said it
34:04All that I'm hearing from you
34:07Is white noise
34:09White noise
34:10White noise
34:11White noise
34:18It looks good
34:22I'd be in trouble
34:23Right now
34:25Time stands still
34:28When you're around
34:31Well I give you all my time
34:35That you gave me all your lies
34:38Now you've just come around
34:41To say goodbye
34:46Now here we stand
34:47With our hearts in our hands
34:49Screaming out of the life
34:52All that I hear
34:54Is a message unclear
34:56What else is there to decide
35:01All that I'm hearing from you
35:04Is white noise
35:06White noise
35:07White noise
35:09All that I'm hearing from you
35:11Is white noise
35:13White noise
35:14White noise
35:15All that I'm hearing from you
35:32Is white noise
35:42All that I'm hearing from you
35:46Is white noise
36:11You know Harry I am so happy that you took some of the notes from Kyle
36:16Because him being a sex symbol himself
36:18Very good looking one
36:19Yeah
36:20Thank you nice
36:21But finally it's been really nice
36:22Well you know I mean you look so sexy
36:25And like you stood there and you stuck
36:27Somebody whistled back there
36:29Okay
36:29But you know you look so sexy
36:31And you sort of like
36:32And you open your shirt and stuff
36:34And yeah baby
36:38Thank you
36:41Well done Harry
36:42And that first note was really cool
36:44You know like
36:44And I've said to you
36:45You've got one of the best rock voices
36:47I've heard for a long time
36:48And I know it's not comfortable
36:50To do all that you did
36:51But you know what
36:52Go hard
36:53Or go home
36:54Okay
36:55Well done
36:55Thank you
36:56Yeah you are
36:58Yeah
36:59I know I said that
37:00Last time was my favorite
37:02That you just took it up another level
37:05Man
37:05That felt really comfortable
37:07Really fun
37:08Carmen is so right
37:10And you were
37:11You know focusing on being cringe
37:13It's like
37:14Who cares
37:15If you want to be in entertainment
37:17There's no such thing as embarrassment
37:19No
37:20Because otherwise you'll just never do anything
37:22You look way cooler going for it
37:24Than trying to be cool
37:26People who try to be cool
37:27Don't look cool
37:28So that to me
37:30Just looked like Harry up there
37:31With that epic voice
37:33Really going for it
37:35Having a good time
37:36Well done man
37:36That was really cool
37:37Thanks so much Amy
37:37Thank you
37:38I really did have a great time
37:44I often say things
37:46That get me into trouble
37:48No really
37:49And sometimes I tell people
37:52The honest truth
37:53And they don't like hearing it
37:54Oh Jesus
37:55And I thought that was rubbish
37:57Oh what
37:59I didn't like it
38:00You did everything we asked you to do
38:02I just think
38:03Like Marsha said
38:04Go hard or go home
38:05Like it's go hard or go soft
38:08You're soft
38:09You're a softer bloke
38:10You can't do that hard stuff
38:12That's where I think the problem is
38:14That whole angsty stuff
38:16You're a nicer guy than that
38:18Are we having a
38:20Kyle
38:20Is it a case that you don't like the song
38:22Is that
38:22I don't like the song
38:23You're not an angsty guy
38:25You're a sweetie
38:26I feel that you'd kiss girls on the neck
38:28Not yell
38:29You know what I mean
38:30You're not an angsty guy
38:32Full of anger
38:33It doesn't always have to be like that though
38:35You know I want to hear Harry
38:36But you know
38:38You hear us talk all the time
38:39Harry
38:40I want you to tell us
38:41Who are you Harry
38:43Like do you want to be that mad rock guy
38:45Do you want to be the guy behind the guitar
38:47What do you want to do
38:48I really yeah
38:49I've loved the transformation
38:50To be honest
38:51I've had a great time with these songs
38:52Okay
38:52So you want to be the hard rock guy
38:54Sure
38:54Well what I think is
38:58What I like is that
39:01We have seen Harry
39:03Like especially in the packages before
39:05We saw him
39:06He can be that folk singer
39:07Looking at his feet
39:09But he's grown
39:10Like look at him now
39:11He's just a different artist
39:12Like artists grow
39:14And I think
39:14He's just too soft to be hard
39:17I don't think so
39:19I don't think that'll come across like that on TV
39:21Alright
39:24Mixed comments there
39:25From the judges
39:25Harry
39:26How do you feel
39:26Yeah
39:27I had a great time with it
39:28Yeah
39:28So I can kind of see what Kyle was saying
39:31But I really enjoyed myself
39:32Yeah
39:33What did you guys think
39:38There you go
39:39It was great
39:40Now you have a big crew here
39:42Who have travelled out from Ballarat
39:43To support you
39:44Hello guys
39:46Hello
39:47Now I know there are plenty more fans watching at home too
39:50So why don't you tell Australia
39:52Why they should vote for the barber from Ballarat
39:55Yeah
39:56It's always been a massive dream of mine
39:58To be the next Australian Idol
39:59And I've worked really hard
40:01For ten years on my music
40:03So I've always really wanted to kind of
40:04Just put that into the world
40:05And have people kind of see it
40:08And receive it well
40:08So that would be my
40:10You don't get harder than that
40:11That's some hard words
40:12Oh what
40:13Well not everyone has to be hard
40:15Not everyone has to be hard
40:16I'm just saying
40:16I'm just saying
40:17The guy's too nice
40:18Do you know how much you've cried on this show
40:20Pick the nice songs
40:21True that Amy
40:22Pick the nice songs
40:23Says the
40:24Says old
40:25Crybaby over there
40:27Oh
40:28You have cried so much on this show
40:31I don't mind
40:32I don't mind a soft song
40:33See
40:33You can be hard and soft at the same time
40:35But we can't have phonies up here
40:37Pretending to be hard asses when they're not
40:39I just see it
40:40I can't
40:40You're a nicer guy
40:42Give it that rubbish
40:43Well Australia
40:43If you want to keep Harry
40:45In the competition
40:46You have to vote for him
40:47Text his name
40:48To the number on the screen

41:52Jindy's really getting behind
41:54Kesha
41:55How good is it
41:56That the music

42:14You've done well
42:14Well tonight Kesha's performing
42:16A cherished Aussie hit
42:18From the iconic
42:19Olivia Newton-John
42:20Let's see how she got on
42:22Can't you hear
42:23Can't you hear the thunder
42:25You better run
42:27Morning guys
42:29It is Aussie week
42:31I'm absolutely exhausted
42:32But we've got a busy busy day today
42:35So gotta get up
42:39Bad you might
42:40What else are you gonna eat for breakfast
42:42This is like the most Aussie breakfast
42:45You can get
42:45I'm running
42:46Not late
42:47But if I don't run now
42:49I will be
42:49So grabbing the last bit on my toes
42:51Let go
42:53Oh my way
42:56Hi
42:56Hello
42:59So it's Aussie week
43:00Top 10
43:01Yes
43:01Song you sing
43:02Singing hopelessly devoted to you
43:04By the woman herself
43:05Olivia Newton-John
43:06Me and Grace
43:08I like that
43:09I did a musical
43:10When I was actually in year 9
43:13And I was one of the T-Bird dudes
43:15That I was by
43:17You were a T-Bird
43:18I love Grace
43:19It's one of my most watched movies
43:21So I'm gassed
43:23So thinking about
43:24I guess
43:24It was Australia's vote
43:26Last week
43:27So how are you feeling
43:29After
43:29You know
43:30Being in the bottom two
43:34Being in the bottom two
43:37Definitely
43:38Stirred up
43:39A lot of emotions
43:41It's not a position
43:42You want to be in
43:43And it's not one
43:44You want to be in twice
43:45I just need to
43:46You know
43:47Put it all on the table
43:49Yeah
43:49I've got so much more
43:51To show
43:51I want to be here
43:53More than anything in the world
43:55So from now on
43:57It's just
43:58Proving to Australia
44:00That I need to be here
44:02Since you pushed my love aside
44:05I'm out of my head
44:08You tend to like
44:10Rush the phrasing there
44:11And come in early
44:12Shall we try that again?
44:14Let's go from that verse
44:15Yeah
44:15It is all I ever wanted
44:17And
44:19Having a chance
44:20Of that getting ripped away
44:21It's rough
44:24If I don't nail this
44:25I could be
44:26In the bottom two again
44:27And I could be going home
44:29Definitely
44:33Yes
44:34Mine
44:35Is not the first
44:36Heartbroken
44:38Mine
44:41Is not the first
44:43To cry
44:44I'm not the first
44:48To know
44:49There's just no
44:51Getting over you
44:55I'm hopelessly
44:58Devoted
44:59To you
45:02But now
45:05There's nowhere
45:07To hurt
45:08Since you pushed
45:09My love aside
45:11I'm out of my head
45:14I'm hopelessly
45:17Devoted
45:17To you
45:20I'm hopelessly
45:23Devoted
45:24To you
45:30And my head
45:32Is saying
45:33Fool
45:33Forget him
45:35But my heart
45:38Is saying
45:39Don't let go
45:43Hold on
45:45Till the end
45:46And that's what I
45:48And that's what I
45:50Intend to do
45:51I'm hopelessly
45:55Devoted
45:55To you
46:00But now
46:02There's no
46:03That I've had
46:05Since you pushed
46:06To my love aside
46:08To my love aside
46:09I'm out of my head
46:11I'm hopelessly
46:13Devoted
46:14To you
46:18Hopelessly
46:20Devoted
46:21To you
46:27I'm hopelessly
46:29I'm hopelessly
46:30Devoted
46:34To you
46:42Thank you so much
46:48Thank you everyone
46:55Thank you
46:56Thank you
47:00Oh Kesha
47:00I didn't know what was going to happen
47:01Then I thought we might have had another desk
47:03Dance
47:04They told me we're only insured for one standing desk situation
47:08Oh okay right
47:09Kesha
47:09Whoa
47:10I mean
47:11That song
47:12I think it means so much to
47:14To so many people
47:15Around the world
47:16Not just Australia
47:18But
47:18That
47:19I mean
47:20It's usually such a soft sweet song
47:22And when
47:23I guess when Sandy sings it in the movie
47:25She's like still in that era of like pretty girl softness
47:29You kind of did it from another angle
47:31Where she'd already turned into bad bitch
47:33And
47:34That was like
47:35I felt like I was watching
47:37Like
47:38The coolest girl
47:39In the world
47:40Who had finally gotten her heart broken
47:42Like I believed every word you said
47:44But you just looked so awesome doing it
47:47Thank you
47:47And that just sounded
47:48Incredible
47:49You always are just so incredible
47:51I appreciate that so much
47:53Thank you
47:54Thank you
47:58I'm proud to say that I knew Olivia
48:00And I just did a play sometime ago
48:04Called Grease
48:05Where I heard that song every night
48:07Lord have mercy
48:08It never sounded like that
48:10Okay
48:10You know
48:11And I mean
48:11I'm a great believer
48:12There's nothing wrong with doing a rendition of a song
48:15As long as
48:16You change it up
48:17You kept it soft and pretty in the bits that needed to be Kesha
48:21And you've got a great gift
48:23You know
48:23Like
48:23And you can belt too
48:25You know
48:25And to me
48:26That's what it's really all about as well
48:27But I really believe
48:29If you're going to do a rendition of a song
48:30You treat it as if it was written for you
48:32Or you wrote it
48:33With that respect in the middle
48:35Well done honey
48:36Thank you
48:37Thank you very much
48:38I really appreciate it
48:39Thank you
48:43Who are you singing that song to?
48:45Oh
48:46Ha ha
48:47Anyone?
48:48Ha ha
48:48Is that his name?
48:50Ha ha
48:50You got anyone in particular
48:51You're singing that to?
48:52That's my answer
48:53Ha ha
48:55Keep doing that for your whole brain
48:56I wouldn't want to be that guy
48:58No girlfriend, don't get angry
48:59Just get even
48:59Hey
49:00I'm here
49:02That's the best time
49:02You know what you're the best of the night
49:07Without a doubt
49:07That was fantastic
49:08Everyone loved it
49:10Your vocal tones
49:12Yeah, the tone of your voice
49:15The delivery
49:17The acting that was going on during that

57:43He's wowed the judges
57:46That performance was stupid good. That was beautiful, but he's about to risk it all
57:52I'm so scared. He will take on an Aussie legend
57:57Such a hard thing because it is so iconic especially in Australia and the big Aussie anthems keep coming
58:08Often say things that get me into trouble, and I thought that was rubbish
58:16on this show. What will Kyle say next? Tell people the honest truth. Idols Aussie week tomorrow on 7
